Seen Not Heard

lyrics

It seems that one thing leads to another
when you're paying a price just to listen to another person's
point of view
That's not fair. You're paying a price just to prove that you care well..
Maybe it's me, maybe I'm wrong but this song has been in my head too long.
I'm putting it out, this meal for two.
I've been keeping secrets, keeping secrets from you.

I'm only saying it because it's true.
You know and I know there is nothing we can do except
drop the subject and just move on.
You probably won't remember by the time the night is gone.

It seems I may have mislead you over this conversation.
We skipped to the end a little way too soon.
We're not there. We both seen it happen but we didn't seem to care.
Oh my god...what a surprise. Everything you said turned out to be all lies.
So I guess we're done now.

You know I'm on your side but it really should be easy to
bridge this little divide.
I wish you wouldn't hide from the truth that I told you,
I don't want to control you but you know you're always right.
There's so many things that I'd like to say but I'm choking on my words
trying to find a way to make you see.
I know when I'm wrong, stop making it hard so we can just get along.
Seen not heard. I say it because it's true.
Seen not heard. There is something you can do.
Close your mouth and open your eyes and you will be surprised.

about

The Hostiles South Ayrshire, UK

The Hostiles capture the upbeat energy of US west coast ska punk in the slightly less-sunny climes of west coast Scotland. Spirited and infectious, they combine distorted guitars riffs, low-slung rhythms, in-your-face vocals and a two-pronged brass backbone of trumpet and trombone. Good times guaranteed. ... more
