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
