lyrics

Looking through a diamond back in time - I still remember we were lovers then.
Before the meeting of the mines - I do remember we were lovers then.
And opportunity was ripe my friend
Oh my, so fine!
The means we molded justified the ends
Oh no - where'd it go?
The Silver City Miners -
They took it all from me
The Silver City Miners -
It wasn't meant to be
The Silver City Miners -
Honey you and me couldn't find a finer enemy
Now we're bound to a life in The Silver Lake Mining Company
They came a-crashing through the trees - I still remember we were happy then.
The monster mining company, behind a merry veil of gentlemen.
"We'll get elation in the air again!"
Oh my, what lies!
"And all the money you could ever spend!"
Oh no - what a show!
The Silver City Miners -
They got down on their knees
The Silver City Miners -
We gave 'em all the keys
The Silver City Miners -
With the life we knew flickering behind us in the breeze
Now we're bound to a life in The Silver Lake Mining Company
"I want to go tonight to Silver Lake
I'll put my head upon your shoulder."
"We'll think about the way things used to be -
Forget about the mining company."
We'll put our little world behind us
We'll let prosperity define us
We've got a miracle to guide us
And pretty soon we'll all be miners
LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT
FIRST TO THE LEFT THEN WE GO TO THE RIGHT!!!

EP 2
by Evil Arrows

supported by 34 fans who also own “The Silver Lake Mining Company”

Everything that Bryan Scary touches is musical gold... at first when he branched out from the Shredding Tears to do Evil Arrows I was heartbroken... but these songs are full of the solid power-pop brilliance that his earlier work exhibited, if a bit more guitar-driven. Wonderful stuff! Matthew Laurence
