The Stantons

The Stantons started life as a hybrid of country and indie pop marrying banjo, boy/girl vocals and various folk and alt.country-flavoured instruments.

Their debut album, “Welcome To Stanton Country” quickly gained praise from the likes of Is This Music?, The Daily Record, Radio 1 and The Skinny. Gigging with the likes of Monica Queen (Thrum) and Southern Tenant Folk Union at Tigerfest, El Rancho Relaxo, Leith Folk Club and Kelburn Garden Party helped spread the word and gain the band an enduring fan base.

Now with a more eclectic sound, their recently released album, “Le Cirque de Muerta” mixes songs drawing from the traditions of gypsypop, American folk, sea-shanties and acoustica.

For the release of “Le Cirque de Muerta”, the band devised a unique coming together of music and theatre, showcasing live performances of songs from the album blended together with a specially written piece of live theatre which was set to a backdrop of projected visuals.

Story behind the song

When relationships go bad!

Lyrics

There once was a girl who lived in a bubble			
Found herself in a whole heap of trouble			
Cut herself off from the world outside and shut her eyes		
I’m not shutting down, it’s just temporary			
I don’t want to talk till I’ve sharpened my tongue		
You know when I argue, I get a little scary…so you’d better run	

I saw you, we dated, we watched all the movies I hated		
But now I think I’m running out of patience			
What happened to that thing we had?				 
You were great, now you’re a pain in the ass			
Sleep with one eye open					

When we first started out it was sweetness and light		
Breakfast in bed and the curtains pulled tight			
But something went wrong and I don’t know why		
I’m scratching my head						
You let down your guard and I just stopped pretending		
There’s no harm in letting you know where you stand		
But now every argument we have is never ending		
And I just can’t see why you can’t understand			

Chorus

Everything I stand for you hate with a passion			
So we might as well just face the facts				
You’d be better off dead and I’d be better in prison		
Than a lifetime sitting with a face like that			

I’ll poison your drink, put flies in your bacon			
I’ll hire a hitman and you won’t see him coming			
I’ll be out in the garage when the shit hits the fan		
You’ll be six feet under with your head in your hands, oh	

Because I saw you, we dated					
And we did all the things that I hated				
But now I’m sick, bored, and starting to turn			
I can’t see the point of the lessons we learned			
So I’m going to stay here and brood in my bubble		
And maybe then you’ll see					
Sleeping with one eye open					
Won’t get the better of me
