Advance setlist confirms the worst: Another round of verse/chorus/adverse No one's bridged Constant four-count burpee marks the speed as fast Cranking up the cans until they bleed their last Build a better mousetrap, but you'll Need a class of mice they don't provide In these blandlands Some futurist should wipe your drive They hit their notes and sorely miss their mark (ooh ooh ooh ooh) The shadows that they cast aren't so long as dark (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

Hey you on the bleeding edge of leisure calling out for your anthem: Hands up now Where we can count them We'll keep the palace carbon neutral By planting burning trees The smoke clears the hives which lines the dance floor With all the busty little bees

Hey world historical failure: Don't interrupt my bacchanalia Spitting hollow invective 'round terror Our boots down where first landed in error It's not what you see just, but also can you see in frames? With selfish way and coded dream, one might discount the blood for dollar signs

Could fear no evil like I fear a sideline Crowding up with eyes content to see Before you broke the past things were wide open So I won't buy where a truth has set me free The greatest fear I hold is that the greatest Means something overcome and over now I have to beat the man I call "opponent" But I never want to see him back... ...down days and bad phases, now, now, now Could never stand to see him in Leg braces, false faces, now, now, now Or fall content to rifle through Old pictures, cold scriptures, now, now, now

Lucky you on Happy Tax Day Happy 'cause privilege never sees itself Don't think your hand Can't be re-dealt I merely threaten you with knowledge Whenever subject you object I doubt once you've ever truly heard yourself A map that's drawn from all your strident voices O lead me not into atrocious choices Once it's my death or your discomfort I'm sure you'll put up a terrific noise Sharp teeth are just one tool The beast employs A 24 hour newscicle Just means new sticky to suck each day Quick! throw another flicker Before a thought could stay A thousand monkeys in the works Should keep the present tense

I swipe at your motions in public up until the cameras move on Until the cameras shy Just enough mistake to keep their attention Their need to print what all mouths say To play it where it lies Speeches in stasis from the gift horse mouth of babes Your straight lines escape me A mighty short path scrapes the knees of my thought Style points and laughs The calendar caper Peace only on paper Like sentences slouching off Gritting as they plod Put through your paces like the gift mouth horse of babes So long to places, a like for which you'll never feel again Sounding familiar like you've never heard before Hindsight is 50/50 Small concerns weren't always with me As we rush to push Exhort, extol, extort, exhume The harsh lights keep the cold in place Stand at the sink to cut my face With razors like attention Cataloging slight improvement Damn faint praise from this flapper movement When damning's not enough Solidarity in liquidity Slimy figures, gross receipts Honor thy Father, honor your corner Start slouching toward Bethlehem 3x a day 3x a day

Planet Amaza, this yogurt bowl is toast They're working out sight lines It's national pastime Get ready for games Word on the crazy streets Is the Dungeon Toads' routine Will trick out your straight lines Diagonaling cut-time So let us all give complicated thanks 'Cause this is Complicated Moves Let me give you now the lay of the land Say "guatamitos" if you understand me It'd also be handy To learn the word "saltosanct" 'Cause it means "complicated moves" These sights ain't for straight minds Your eyes could go square blind You'll never see right angles again Don't be a lizard brain Complicated Moves Complicated Moves

about

Le Weekend Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Le Weekend is a progressive-minded, skewed-pop-leaning, hyphen-employing rock band from Chapel Hill NC, est. 2006. It faithfully and exuberantly generates the sound of itself playing Le Weekend music. It knows a little about a lot of things, and something about the value in hiding and showing. The rest it kind of fakes, but you could totally have fun with it. ... more
