lyrics

This town's made of tar
So, no one gets far
They're stuck in their ways
And there are no better days yet to come
At least not for some

To watch them some nights
Between parties and fights
To try and belong
It feels so very wrong (feels so wrong)

So, in case I don't follow
In case I don't follow this through
In case I don't follow
I think that it's best if you knew

They're the unattached
All their plans remain unhatched
They are just like you
But with nothing to do
They think I'm one of them
But they don't know
I'll send accounts of what goes on
I have files on every one

And midtown's the same
It's all a big game
You want me inside
To prove that we have tried
To regain this nation's glory

Amusement arcade’s
Closed for the day
Thirty or so were gathered on the road
Nowhere to go

Go to them
Talk with them
Learn from them
Be their best friend

Remember us
You will write to us
Speak free to us
But don’t break our trust

My last words to you before I am through
You can't talk of trust expecting us
Without a fuss to always protect you
To always report back to you

We're the unattached
All our plans remain unhatched
We are just like you
But with nothing to do
I am one of them
No longer will I send accounts of what goes on
I know where I belong

Steady
by Sloan

supported by 18 fans who also own “The Unattached”

Sloan breaks absolutely NO new ground on their newest record. And I couldn't care less. Because when the songs are this good, nothing else matters. This kicks ass. Todd Leiter-Weintraub

Duly Noted
by TUNS

It’s really hard to pick a favorite track because every single one is superb! DULY NOTED has become one of my favorite new releases of 2021. I can’t recommend TUNS enough! Danny Cavazzi
