Let’s stay in a hotel
Get a break from this hell
In a different mirror we’ll see ourselves
Remember what it feels like to be well
Use tiny shampoos
Never leave our room
You won’t pretend that you’re too cool
Maybe I won’t feel so bruised
Cause you’re paranoid
And you never let me breathe
And I have destroyed
Every single fucking thing
We used to fly
‘Round the world just for the thrill
Now we’re inside
And have jet lag standing still
If we finally tire
Of suites with subway tile
We can just fly away in style
Run out on the charges we’ve compiled
Look down at our city
From the window, row 3
You’ll take the aisle to stretch your knees
We’ll drop the baggage we won’t need
But you’re paranoid
And you never let me breathe
And I have destroyed
Every single fucking thing
We used to fly
‘Round the world just for the thrill
Now we’re inside
And have jet lag standing still
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023
