Metric - Siamese Cities

Siamese Cities
Artist: Metric
Album: Static Anonymity EP (2001)

Lyrics

I said, I'm sorry to change my mind
It was a little bit cold that night
I was dreading the ride back to little Italy
And needing to hide out from my mind

When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like Red Roses
Every day breaks bitter river, was a flood
Why do you leave me in-between Siamese cities

I saw the sky and you, what do you see in me
This Rubbermaids had better days
Shaken out, static anonymity
Vanity, don't let war die down

When you take, you turn me over
From the street, rock radio plays crimson and clover
Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why do you leave me in-between Siamese cities?

When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like red roses
Every day breaks, bitter river was flood
Whyd you leave me?
Whyd you leave me?
Whyd you leave me in-between Siamese cities?

Sha la la la
Sha la la la

She is shaken out static anonymity
She is shaken out static anonymity
She is shaken (temporarily)
She is shaken (temporarily)
She is shaken out, static anonymity
She is shaken out, static anonymity

From fantasies? Are you crazy? A true fan would stick with them through everything. I love ALL of their stuff. Since 2001. I love everything they have done. You're crazy.. lol

there's nothing more exhilarating than finding a new song by your favorite band.

[Candiigalz]

@harrydersteppenwolf this isn't exactly "new" but hey, whatever.

[mshara1]

@RADnItO LOL. Sounds like fun. Wasn't the reponse I was expecting, but much funnier.

[RADnItO]

@mshara1 lol...okay, i was drunk when i wrote that comment...what i really meant is that my personal meaning to this song would be about that night out in The Valley with this really cool chick...which ended with me having to find my way back to Sudbury (Northern Ontario's Little Italy) by myself LOL good times...

[mshara1]

@RADnItO Hi Rad, What makes you think the song is about Valley East and Sudbury. Cheers.

[RADnItO]

@mshara1 based on recent experience, it's Valley East and Sudbury in Northern Ontario

[myeyeswillburn]

Metric theres nothing you do that I dislike. I love your harder rock like empty and live it out tracks. I love your signature new wave OWUWAYN classic sound. I love your more synthy stuff like poster of a girl and police and the private. I love your heartwrenching songs like Calculation theme. I love your jazzy sound from Static Anonymity and GUABA. And I love Emily's solo stuff.
