about

it was kinda fun anyway

lyrics

these city lights are makin' my head spin
i ain't accustomed to the pace
or this rate race of free thinkin' women
but I'll change for you and follow you around
to lock you down I'll try my best but It'll be hard I reckon

cuz there's a problem that persists and even I can see it
it's that I love you all too well and you resent me for it
so I must fly away, way down south
to a simpler life of corn and cows
and I'll rue the day when you move on
but for now I've got way too much time
on my hands to wonder why

why do I love you so much better

the voice inside my head said "get her"
but I didn't see your scarlet letter
now I'll bury my head in sand
head in hands

hush now little lamb, rest your feeble mind a while
as I try my best to show you through placating smiles
that I don't think like you do, in vectors and hard lines
I aim to flow free through the days and I'm no slave to your time
so while you entertain these grand ideas
of me dressed in white
I'll be counting down the days and hours
'til I rid you from my life

but thanks anyway, thanks anyway, my dear
thanks anyway, it was kinda fun anyway, my dear

why do I love you so much better

the voice inside my head said "get her"
but I didn't see your scarlet letter
now I'll bury my head in sand

why do I love you so much better

let me out
let me go
set me free
on my own

Turtle Recall Washington, D.C.

DC pop folk rock: fiddle and playful vocal harmonies intertwine atop punk-inspired rhythms to give these Reston, Virginia natives an unpasteurized sonic profile. The group's 2012 debut LP, Thanks Anyway, features story songs steeped in nostalgia, dramatic and unapologetic tempo fluctuations, a hint of musical theatre, and even a foray into the most-likely-completely-misunderstood world of dubstep. ... more
