Told You Before (I Won​’​t Tell You Again)

from 72 Hours (EP) - Limited Edition by Matt McManamon

/

  • Cassette + Digital Album

    Limited edition of 50.

    These 4 tracks will only be available physically in two choices of beautiful colours of cassette.

    Each side opens with an official Single followed by a previously unreleased song.

    So, the only decision is which colour tape to go for either 'Faded Orange' or 'Dollar Bill Green' (yes, those are the official names!).

    Or how about both?

    ...Now there's an idea ;-)

about

Matt says...
“Told You Before (I Won’t Tell You Again)” is probably the hardest sounding song I have ever done. I think I was channelling my inner Pete Townshend of The Who when writing this one.

The song subject primarily deals with indecisiveness and my (sometimes) lack of empathy with indecisive individuals.”

lyrics

Words…
They just fall away
Show me a bright new day
Told you before I won’t tell you again

Far…
As the eye can see
You dig on the dirt in me
Told you before I won’t tell you again

Make it break it how you gonna take it?
It’ll all boil down
Choose it use it now you’re gonna lose it
It’ll all boil down
Sink to the bottom with me

Run…
To a no man’s land
Refusing the helping hand
Told you before I won’t tell you again

Sit…
On a strangers fence
To you it makes perfect sense
Told you before I won’t tell you again


Make it break it how you gonna take it?
It’ll all boil down
Choose it use it now you’re gonna lose it
It’ll all boil down
Sink to the bottom with me

Told you before I won’t tell you again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
And again and again and again and again

Told you before I won’t tell you again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
And again and again and again and again
