Pilot Speed – Put the Phone Down

Tonight’s tune continues with my recent theme of focusing on Canadian artists.  There is so much gold coming from the great white north right now it is ridiculous.  Put the Phone Down comes to us from the Toronto, Ontario indie/alt-rock band Pilot Speed, and their 3rd full-length release Wooden Bones.  The album was officially released on April 28th, 2009 and can be found on iTunes here.  The offical video for Put the Phone Down was premiered via YouTube 5 days earlier on April 23rd, 2009.  

Broken bottles in the doorway
and I’ve been thinking have it your way
Take the night train right to Jersey
I’ll leave you broken, I’ll leave you wealthy
oh these eyes

oh please put the phone down, put the phone down
lie with me tonight
x2
oh please put the phone down oh please put the phone down

Beneath the violence when it’s raining
your words just stare cold and do my head in
take the fast lane, chase the dream down
tonight the motorway is like a ghost town
oh these eyes

Oh please put the phone down, put the phone down
lie with me tonight
x2
Like you know you should
x4
oh please put the phone down

I won’t forget you, won’t forget you
see these troubled eyes that smile
this city is a graveyard, it’s a graveyard
streetlights show us cold and hard
oh these eyes

Oh please put the phone down, put the phone down
lie with me tonight
x4
like you know you should
x4

oh please put the phone down
