Cover art for some of them were superstitious lyrics by Midlake

The booklet says: some of them were superstitious sitting with their backs facing the orchard all of them with mittens on their hands and feet were waiting there for winter thousands on the freezerail i could never join them there for them we dare not bother but couldn't help but holler yeah there's no use in hiding the joy from the bright of sun i could wait for winter better if it never comes

some of them were superstitious watching them parade around the town square some of them were praising monicle (monocle) men simply cause they don't know better someone to protect them someone to keep track of them no i don't believe them i would rather holler yeah there's no use in hiding the joy from the bright of sun now you say you're leaving but leaving will just bring you down

can you operate machines like that miles a day on tough terrain and grass i'm not sure if we will meet again i guess it depends on which company you're in

when you're gone you're gone so soon so soon so long life it works for someone and you're someone
