about

Surf rock inspired poetic pop punk, sounds like Shel Silverstein fronted an indie rock band. Recorded at Fraser Studios and produced by Kit Conway (Stello, Del Water Gap). Grinding guitars, big time bass, and propulsive percussion. Dogboy means business.

lyrics

I met this girl in Avondale, walking down the avenue
It’d been awhile, since a stranger, touched me into the afternoon
I was lost, I was free, my blood rushed like good cocaine
Just getting wet and open, like a flower in the rain
And I knew… I was broken.

Her long drawn golden hair, her almost perfect body
She pulls me close with bated breath, we float across the party
So distracted, so discrete, our fingers dance, taking flight
We made a bed on damp concrete, and we touched, into the night
And we were lost… That’s what we wanted.

I don’t know why I’m telling you sorry (oooooh)
Because… That’s what we wanted
That’s what we wanted

I can hear your heartbeat echo, I can hear it sing to me
Climb the mountains of my vertebrae and whisper soft and free
All my thoughts sound like sighs, since the moment I met you
You paint my neck, the color of your breath, just rosy, raw and true
I feel the rush… You let it linger.

There is a moment, you never know it, when the cosmos loses luck
When we got back to her apartment, we didn’t kiss, or make love
4 am and ketamine, dozing off in uber pools
I pet her cat, and just lay back, waiting for the flame to cool
And it was over… But not complete.
Yeah it was over… But not for me.

I don’t know why I’m telling you sorry (oooooh)
We lost control of the fire burning in our bits (ooh ooh)
But that’s what we wanted
That’s what we wanted
That’s what we wanted, that’s what we wanted
That’s what we wanted
