An anthem for lost things and the people who lose them. Up-tempo and hooksy, with an arty time signature.
lyrics
Early morning leaving town
left my sweater to be found
Whose body will it come to fit?
What happens to the things I’ve left?
Late night, the closing crowd
left my guitar to be found
Whose fingers will its callous grow?
Whose songs on the radio?
Where do all the things I lose go?
I hope they’re keeping you warm
Where do all the things I lose go?
And, will they ever come?
Wide field, my dog won’t stop
missing posters on every block
Whose voice will he come to obey?
Why do good dogs run away?
I know you only in this room
single nights to sweat us through
Whose frailty will you come to need?
What will happen when they leave?
Chorus
We are the body of what remains…

This is Fang's new favourite band. They are witty as all get out, and ridiculously likeable.If you are sweet-hearted and have a soft spot for intelligent eccentricity, you will love this. Fang
