FemBots – Get in the Van

I started writing this post about 4 hours ago.  After “resting my eyes” on the couch for 7ish episodes of Family Guy, I’m conscious enough to finish this thing off.  Today’s track is from the Toronto, Ontario indie-rock band FemBots.  Get in the Van can be found on the band’s fourth full-length album Calling Out, released in September of last year.  Marking a change from their previous albums, Calling Out was their first release via the Canadian independent label Weewerk; the three previous albums were released by the often discussed (by me) Paper Bag Records.

We scratched our way up to the bottom
Scraped our shins skinned our knees
Money is always a problem
The rest is sweet misery

I dream of rolling in the van
I dream a car crash and wake up on the backseat bench

Across a country without maps
We lost our will and our way
Distance divided by hours
Tomorrow is just another day

They whisper something in my ear
When its loud like this I can’t hear a word you say

It’s all right, it’s all right tonight
It’s all right, it’s all right tonight

You’re never far away
If I can reach you on the phone
And when I think I can’t do this again
Someone says

Get in the van
