written by Owen Ashworth (BMI)
you can‘t deny that cut flowers given time will surely die
but they‘ll do fine with candles
& some wine but it‘s a crime
yeah it‘s a crime that you‘re kissing on that girl for all to see
& it‘s a crime that she‘s going home with you & not with me
it‘s plain to see that boxes of candy will make her sigh
but confidentially they‘ll just rot her pretty teeth & it‘s a crime
yeah it‘s a crime that you‘re kissing on that girl for all to see
& it‘s a crime that she‘s going home with you & not with me
it has been proved that pups & kittens too will make her swoon
but it stands to reason that animals give fleas & it‘s a crime
yeah it‘s a crime that you‘re kissing on that girl for all to see
& it‘s a crime that she‘s going home with you & not with me

as someone with a sort of shitty relationship with christmas, listening to advance base (particularly this album) as well as Owen's christmas specials have been my own little way of celebrating the season <3 tulpa toad
The Cleveland band temper uncompromising metalcore breakdowns with infectious jangle-pop melodies and ample dark humor.

Beautiful songwriting, less is so much more. I don't know how someone could make a record so catchy while also being heartbreaking in a fun way. rahlinrigsby
