Slips And Tangles Lyrics
we're rolling neon lights and slinking purple skies squeeze out soft regrets from all our lives as i greet another door that opens in to that place that we repeatedly begin i'm tangled up in tries slipping on i wonder why i face affection not embrace another urban wasteland thick with fears i see lights that shine like frozen television tears or dying embers of another day please tell me what it is i i wanna say i'm tangled up in tries slipping on i wonder why i face affection not embrace affection not embrace

this song is awesome
how can you kids NOT like this song?
people. get on this page.
thank you.
let me elaborate..
the music for this song is so..so..enchanting. and then johns voice makes it perfect. its a most lovely blend.
it seems to be about someone who wants and tries so hard for something, but fails at getting that. say it's love..or just to be wanted. love just doesn't come from words sometimes people need ambrace, people need to be touched/hugged/kissed/whatever it may be. and to be wanted..yeah, i think i made my point.
frozen television tears... WAHH
this song is beautiful
music that brings a tear to your eye.
Are there two versions of this song? I've just listened to it at full volume several times, and at no time do I hear it being with "We're Rolling". Mine seems to just start with "Neon lights". Odd.
@Rie-mix It's right at the VERY, very beginning (0:00) Someone says "We're rolling," (as in "this recording equipment is currently on & recording") in the background, just before the music starts. It's definitely in there, but I'm pretty confident that the "we're rolling" part isn't actually a lyric. It's not sung, & it's not spoken directly into a mic.

i like their slower songs A LOT more
I concur with "swingliner"
and this song is amazing...just like every other Weakerthans song.
i believe he's saying "affectionate embrace". it makes more sense.
