Angel face, please let me in Tell me what's been happening Wake me when you feel the thrill And I'll be there Tell me where and what it means I can't live remembering And everything will shake and spill And I'll be there Blue eyes, blue eyes, blue eyes Blue eyes, blue eyes, high and dry Blue eyes, blue eyes And everything will shake and spill And I'll be there Hold me tight I might break free Only one can cut this deep Soulful cry will make it real And I'll be there Blue eyes, blue eyes, blue eyes Blue eyes, blue eyes, high and dry Blue eyes, blue eyes

Cool In My Book 02:21

Lift me up, lift me up, no, no, no Don't go high, don't go low Wake me up, shake me up, please don't go Why cut me off, cause you are... Cool in my book, Like a writing on the wall, you never know Will it stay there too long Or fade out in a flash You're cool in my book Fooled me then, fool me now, I don't care I will never be prepared Spike the punch, make the waves, life's not fair Why cut me off, cause you are... Cool in my book, Like a writing on the wall, you never know Will it stay there too long Or fade out in a flash you're cool in my book

Instant Forgiver 02:26
lyrics

Now, now, I tried to be on time Time flies in the friendly skies Dark clouds away! You know I hate a bad goodbye Tried hard to pass another round Then one round again Words fish deep in the river Please be my instant forgiver Words fish deep in the river Please be my instant forgiver Right now we are worlds apart Somehow I'll try to turn the page I won't mess around Bummed out waiting out the storm Fresh start is all I'm asking for So don't let me down Words fish deep in the river Please be my instant forgiver Words fish deep in the river Please be my instant forgiver Forgiver, you are my, forgiver...

Genius 03:05
lyrics
buy track
Calm down, baby doll You ain't the one I need Speed up, then simmer down I just can't feel your beat Big deal, you and me It wasn't meant to be Look around, find your clown She's the only one I see She strikes me as a genius Sharp, sound and unconventional She strikes me as a genius I know she ain't tough What scares her makes me laugh I'd like to think her way She means all she says She strikes me as a genius Sharp, sound and unconventional She strikes me as a genius Was I dreaming too long to believe I can have her?

'The four songs on this 7" build off of the Snuff meets Big Drill Car sound of their last album, but they have managed to weave in tighter hooks and bigger melodies, calling to mind the aggressive, but still extremely poppy sound that defined early China Drum. Add in some wild guitar dynamics and vocals that remind me of the sort of thing Bob Mould has built his career on and you'll start to see the picture that Shoplifters are painting. They're taking the influences of the 90's, but they're interpreting them in a way that's clearly their own.

Opener "High And Dry" sets the stage with with it's driving dark pop verse that lurches into a huge chorus with the sort of vocal harmonies that just drive me crazy. But for me, the highlight of these songs is "Instant Forgiver." With its driving rhythm, big hooks and supremely placed handclaps, I can't help but air drum along every time I hear it. It's just such a killer song, and it's only one of the four. I'm don't know what Shoplifters have planned next, but I sure want to hear it. I hope you do too.'
