Mates of State – Fluke

I’ve got another track tonight from Mates of State, the indie-rock duo I’ve been hooked on for the last 6 months.  Fluke can be found on the band’s third album Team BooTeam Boo reviews, released in September of 2003.  For all the other Mates of State fans out there, starting April 2nd the band will be co-headlining a North American tour with the indie-rock superstars Black Kids.  Details on dates and locations can be found here.  There are two Canadian dates currently scheduled.

We lied in so many words
We say that we’d take you down
To the water’s edge and watch you drown
We lied in so many words

We don’t need to drive
Hang us out to dry
About to bust

We don’t need to drive, oh no
What you got?

We lied in so many words
I said that I’d take you down
To the water’s edge and watch you drown
We lied in so many words

We don’t need to drive
Hang us out to dry
About to bust
We don’t need to drive
We don’t need to…

Kori:
I saw you walking on the sidewalk
Your head was taller than the trees
The reconstruction had just started
And I knew we’d view it piece by piece

Jason:
I can’t say, who do I believe?
Chance would have it that way
I can’t say, who do I believe?
I’ll follow it at the same pace

What do you think you see?

Kori:
The horses their collision courses
I know exactly what you mean
‘Cause I’m obsessed with what would happen
If we’d had never changed a thing

Jason:
I can’t say, who do I believe?
Chance would have it that way
I can’t say, who do I believe?
I’ll follow it at the same pace

I’m about to bust
