about

Dinosaur est une chanson lente et sensuelle, qui parle d'émancipation et de maturité . Une femme qui sait danser seule, marcher seule. Le refrain porte ce charmant conseil déguisé en conseil de jardinage : "Let no men steal your thyme". C'est un clin d'oeil aux chants du folklore ancien, au féminisme comme principe de survie, qui a toujours existé, de tout temps et sous mille formes à travers les âges.

lyrics

I once found love but now it's gone
and born into some other's arms
What does it mean to love someone?
Does it mean a thing at all?

I saw you at the party
I saw you at the party
I thought that you were mine
I thought that you were mine
I saw you at the party
I saw you at the party
I thought that you were mine
Thought about it all the time

like a dinosaur
a lonely dinosaur
my lonely dinosaur
lonely dinosaur
like a dinosaur
lonely dinosaur
my lonely dinosaur
lost in the end of times

I thought about what she said
I thought about what she said
And she was right
And she was right
I thought about what she said
I thought about what she said
tonight

« LET NO MAN STEAL YOUR THYME »
« LET NO MAN STEAL YOUR THYME »
« LET NO MAN STEAL YOUR THYME »

And when you think you found love
RUN BACK
run back run back
Run back !
BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM

I gave you love now I take it back
and I run back run back run back
to my life without you
I gave you love now I take it back
and I run back run back run back
back to my life
back to my friends
back to dancing along, walking along
JUST FINE
dancing along walking along
JUST FINE

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

Such good healing energy on this album. Perfect for recovering from surgery. Thoughtful, plaintive, free of kitschy standard rock moves. Probably still good without the surgery. ;) spencer_huggies
