lyrics

There's something in the way of what you say and how you say it
It sounds so smooth when you make your move it's so uncomplicated
I wanna do the things you do only to prove it's easy

And every day in every way it's justified
I feel the pulse I know it's false but it makes me feel alive
I wanna do the things you do only to prove it's easy

PRECHORUS:
So I brace myself, against the wall, I have to jump, to learn to fall, I wanna know what happens on the other side

I know it's bad to say I'm glad you're in a losing streak
But it seems what makes me stronger, only makes you weak
I'd like to say it's a mistake but I would just be teasing

Your moves mean nothing you have no pawn to play
I see your roles they come and go put on a silver tray
I'd take you down without a sound but it would be too easy

PRECHORUS

CHORUS
Don't you, know what to do
I know that you know that I know how to play it too
Isn't this your claim to fame
Don't try, to tell me I'm wrong
I just figured out what's going on
You're just upset that I might have beat you, at your own game

RAVEUP

Don't you, know what to do
I know that you know that I know how to play it too
Isn't this your claim to fame
Don't try, to tell me I'm wrong
I just figured out what's going on
You're just upset that I finally beat you, at your own game.

about

The Poubelles Victoria, British Columbia

The Poubelles like a hook. Their original Pop-Rock (heavy on the 'rock') draws on influences from the 80s New Wave and the 90s Alternative Sound but with a twist all their own. Songs of heartbreak and hopefulness, with plenty of fuzz guitar.
