A melting of morals, a solder of souls
As sexy as lace but with just as much holes
Doubts were debated and questions were raised
All the stags and the hens were stunned and amazing
The portents and omens rang as loud as the bells
With you at the altar and me in the cells
Are you still breathing?
Are you holding it in?
Was it you I heard sniffing when you were stooped at the sink?
Are we still breathing?
Are we holding it in?
After all of this swimming, are we beginning to sink?
The dress will decay
But be handed down
You can scrub, you can soak
But you can’t wash me out
You can call it perversion
You can call it a kink
But no one can see us
There’s no need to think
Are you still breathing?
Are you holding it in?
Was it you I heard sniffing when you were stooped at the sink?
Are we still breathing?
Are we holding it in?
After all of this swimming, are we beginning to sink?
All of these old stains
All of them ours
Anniversary fingerprints scattered all through the house
Do you even remember what we said in the vows?
God was watching on Saturday
But he is not with us now, with us now
Turn away from me, darling
Face to the wall
Turn the big light out, I have locked the front door
Squeeze on the wedding gloves, your hands to the wall
It’s the only posterity that will crack me at all, crack me at all
Grip me in your wedding glove
Fake silk touched to my face
Tens of years of giddy love come rushing back again
Grip me in your wedding glove
Fake silk touched to my face
Tens of years of giddy love come rushing back again

Frightened Rabbit è un gruppo indie rock scozzese formatosi nel 2003 da Scott Hutchison (voce, chitarra), Billy Kennedy (chitarra) e Grant Hutchison (batteria). Inizialmente progetto solista di Scott, il nome Frightened Rabbit deriva dal titolo di una canzone scritta durante gli studi all'università. Le prime registrazioni erano demo realizzate con un Tascam 4-track, caratterizzate da un suono lo-fi ma già ricco di talento e personalità. Nel corso degli anni, la formazione si è consolidata in trio e il sound ha maturato un approccio più pop, pur mantenendo l'intensità emotiva tipica dell'indie rock. Tra i brani rappresentativi: "The Modern Leper", "Swim Until You Can't See Land" e "My Backwards Walk". L'album di debutto, "Sing the Greener Grass", risale al 2006, seguito da altri lavori apprezzati dalla critica come "Midnight Organ Fight" (2008) e "The Winter of Mixed Drinks" (2010). La band ha collaborato con artisti come The National e Belle and Sebastian. Nel 2016, il frontman Scott Hutchison è tragicamente scomparso, lasciando un vuoto nel panorama musicale indie.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
