The New Pornographers – Failsafe Lyrics 18 years ago
Ready to bolt at the first glimpse of failsafe;
Signing my checks with a name that's not mine.
Clocking the hours that spin 'round through the tail end,
There's gold in these hills ahead...
We both had a hand in it...

You and me both, kid.
You and me both, kid.

Raising a flag at the first sign of failsafe;
Another red flag, and we've lost half the team.
I left the game to find you at the Days Inn...
There's gold in these hills ahead...
We both had a hand in it...

You and me both, kid.
You and me both, kid.


At first I thought it sounded like 'it's cold in those hills ahead', but I'm 95% sure now it's 'there's gold in these hills ahead' instead. That's what my hi-fi headphones tell me, at least!

Sounds like someone jumping ship in a relationship, where at least one of the two acknowledge that the fault for it rests on 'you and me both, kid'.
