Lyrics by Lee Ashlin
Music by Concrete City

lyrics

What they said, all true
I said these things, did a few
I spouted off

I stirred the pot
Popped my head up too far
They chopped it off

A little too close
Sewed it back on again
To chat I suppose

I was smart
I was sloppy
I was touristed

Six months in a cell
Conversations, who-who-who
And well-well-well

Prisoner at home
Taking the show on the road
Out in the country

Fresh air and bright sun
Seeing the sights, snapping snaps,
Smiles and good fun

I was sloppy
I was lucky
Only touristed

Three brothers and I
Or a father and his sons
This is how it's done

On buses and trains
In the temples, at tables
They make arrangements

I am unable
To escape or demur or
Contemplate the worst

I got caught
I was sloppy
I was touristed

What would you say to
A roll in the hay, charming man
Wouldn't you know it

They already paid
A few photos to file
Quite compromising

Embarrassing, yes
Surely, my friend, less complex
Than a makeshift noose

Accidental fall
Indifferent pistol in the mouth
Brown blood on the wall

I was johned
Suicided
I was touristed

I was johned
Suicided
I was touristed

Coriky

supported by 6 fans who also own “Touristed”

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
