Artist picture
Low-fi acoustic indie psychedelic folk motown music for your fragile mind.
The Wheelies are in trouble. They cant play their instruments properly. They are so wasted they are incapable of operating even the most basic recording equipment. They are too paranoid to play live. They cant find a Ringo that fits. Their singer keeps jumping out of trees in his pants and quitting the band. Their lead guitarist has developed a phobia of guitars. Their bassist is incapacitated with a serious case of sand in his eye. Moppy is possessed and lost in transit. They have a band member who doesnt even know he is a band member. Bob Dylan wont return their phone calls. In a nutshell, they are totally fucked. All thats left for you to do is sook the bools, find a comfortable position far enough away from the fall-out zone, and listen while the whole thing falls spectacularly to pieces.

Story behind the song
Motivated just by the almost unbearable urge to create something. It's about picking up the pieces. There are no interesting side-notes so to speak of.
Lyrics
Love, love it can't go back But there's not enough paper to cover the cracks that have formed on the defences we built to keep us safe from the storm Let it slip when it's out of sight and now I'm waiting on you to see the light we might melt away of incompatible lines and I wish I had an answer but I just don't know Who's gonna pick up the pieces when you go? Not me I still love you Baby I was blind but now I see It's true Couldn't be without you And when you hear this song well I hope you'll see it too We got drawn down a worn old road should have halved our sorrows but it doubled our load I should have known It was never this complicated on my own Thought we were one of a kind, pieces in a puzzle that fit just right, but when we came together it was just as bewildering as it was before Who's gonna pick up the pieces when you go? Not me I still love you Baby I was blind but now I see It's true Couldn't be without you And when you hear this song well I hope you see it too So we cashed in our dreams for a compromise I lost another scrap of me with every lie I ever told, til we were drifting like ghosts left out in the cold Now I'll give you back if you return me We could escape through the cracks and take a moment to breathe and maybe then you could tell me all the things you really should have said before Things I just don't know How can we pick up the pieces if you go? I don't know But I know I love you Baby I was wrong but I hope this goes to show I'll be true Couldn't be without you And when you hear this song well I hope you hope it too
