Well I've slept out on these streets before
And I've drowned myself in every bar
But not like I did with you
Now I've got one more night of tellin' lies
I hope they never televise
The things that I used to do
And now I'm on the run again
For the dumbest thing that I ever did
And I don't know what I should do
You said "You can hardly see you won't get far"
So I let the dog drive the car
And hoped that I'd make it through... And I did but I might be...
Goin' away for awhile x 2
They might be shippin' me away to dead man's isle
And if I can't find a way to win this dreadful trial
I'll be goin' away for awhile
I'm practiced up in stumblin' round
But that night really knocked me down
And now I don't know what to do
Now that that dog ran off and I can't blame him I gotta get gone outta this mess I'm in
Or I won't be going home too soon.. Oh no I might be..
Goin' away for awhile x 2
They might be shippin' me away to dead man's isle
And if I can't find a way to win this dreadful trial
I'll be goin' away for awhile
Well I never shoulda let that dog drive
I never shoulda let him in
I never shoulda drank that last rye
I never shoulda drank that gin
Now I've got one more night stuck inside of a police station
And I don't think I'll see that dog again
I've got one more night of seeing stars
Till' they put my ass behind the bars
I guess they found out where I've been... And now...
I'm going away for awhile
I'm going away for awhile
I guess they're shippin' me away to dead man's isle
Now I've got one more night of telling lies
I hope they never televise
This one last night of crooked eyes
Let's light this city up tonight
Cause I am going away for awhile

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO.
The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me. Rabbit
This New Haven duo write bright and emotionally resonant folk music where sweeping strings elevate gorgeous melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 23, 2021

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo
