HeartSongs - 20170605

  • Written by  Marky Edison

Welcome to HeartSongs, our regularly scheduled (probably) look at songs and the people who write them. We spoke to Julia from Altanta punks The Coathangers about their recent single ‘Captain's Dead’

“Easy come, easy go; what you reap is what you sow. Sometimes people that you trust fail you miserably by falling victim to their own ego. They start believing their own hype, fancy themselves a leader, but they lead nothing. It's based on a personal experience, but this track has taken on a larger meaning given our current political weather. It's feeling stormy - the ships made out of shit will sink themselves.”

I know it was a good time

I know it was a good ride

And I’ll see you on the other side

I'll see you on the other side

 

Captain of a dixie cup

You thought you had it all but you made it up

I'm feeling sea sick

I can't believe it

 

Out on a treasure hunt

And you're acting like a little cunt

Guppy better hold your breath

Cuz now we know, ya now we know

 

Easy come and easy go

What you reap is what you sow

Easy come and easy go

Adios amigo

 

Won't be such a long time

Before they're on to the next one

Cuz you sold the ground you stood upon

The deed is done

 

I know it was a good time

I know we had a good ride

And I’ll see you on the other side

The captain's dead, goodbye

 

Easy come and easy go

What you reap is what you sow

Easy come and easy go

Adios amigo

 

 

Easy come and easy go
