Song Review
I had planned on putting a Boxing Day post together, but as so often is the case around the holidays, family Scattergories was beckoning. Tonight’s song comes from the Toronto, Ontario indie-rock threesome Magneta Lane. The all female act of Lexi Valentine, Nadia King, and Francine DiBacco have released 3 full-length albums since their inception in 2003; Lady Bones can be found on the band’s 2009 LP Gambling with God, released on September 15th. The band supported the release by opening for Canadian indie-rock legends Sloan on a North American tour in 2009. For more from the band, check out their MySpace below.

When I learned to know
That other feeling I could know
I turned around and let him go.
And how it made me work
Lady Bones oh how they hurt,
But for the real things I will burn.
Here I go again
Trying to defend all the things I love
I’ll learn to let it go.
And darling, I have tried
Since all their lies were mine
But if you walk beside me
You’ll know that there they lie.
You’ll know that there they lie.
A man has lost it, Bones.
I can see his honest good
I close my eyes I knew I would
Reached out for his wrung hands
Could they catch me if I fall?
I’d catch him right back after all.
But here I go again
Trying to defend all the things I love
I’ve learned to let you go.
And darling, I have tried
Since all the lies were mine
But if you walk beside me
You’ll know that there they lie.
You’ll know that there they lie.
Here I go again
Trying to defend all the things I love
I’ll learn to let it go.
And darling, I have tried
Since all the lies were mine
If you walk beside me
You’ll know that there they lie.
You’ll know that there they lie.
