The first single of the album 'Suit of Lights' by cult Portland band Soft Tags. 'Suit of Lights' is the much anticipated third full length album by the band (or possibly their fourth) and comes out July 1.
lyrics
MANY HANDS (Shirk)
take a minute now to stand up, stand up
look at me now look the other way
and we all hate to feel the sense of
how it feels to fall
now im here without my manners
watch me now like a top that’s wobbling
and we all hate to be the one who
has to say it all
these are the many hands
and there are many of us
moving this along
and all that’s said
and all that’s said of us
it’s the only thing we’ve got
whoo-hoo-hoo
what we feel has come to scare us
what we mean and what we have to say
and all the real reminders are right there on your arms
watching you as you shrug your shoulders
and we’ve all been there in some-a-ways
now we’ve got to be our own pall-bearers
and it’s all that we we’ve got
these are the many hands
and there are many of us
but still we feel alone
and all that’s said
and all that’s said of us
it’s the only the thing we’ve got
whoo-hoo-hoo
