lyrics
I could never be as great as you
I just need you here with me tonight
Feel like I’m getting eaten from the inside (that night I was getting eaten from the inside) I don’t want you to die
9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-night
One day we’ll joke and we will laugh
Throw a big ol’ party have a gas
Don’t you know that gun won’t make you feel ok They won’t pay cuz they don’t understand
9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-night
That night I just couldn’t hold back the tears Nothing you could do would make it ok
It had finally eaten all my insides
And I could never be as great as you
9-8-7-6-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-tonight
I just need you here with me tonight
Feel like I’m getting eaten from the inside (that night I was getting eaten from the inside) I don’t want you to die
9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-night
One day we’ll joke and we will laugh
Throw a big ol’ party have a gas
Don’t you know that gun won’t make you feel ok They won’t pay cuz they don’t understand
9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-night
That night I just couldn’t hold back the tears Nothing you could do would make it ok
It had finally eaten all my insides
And I could never be as great as you
9-8-7-6-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-tonight

Shoegaze royalty. Often aped, but never beaten, this might be their strongest release yet. Mesmerising.

supported by 15 fans who also own “I Can Never Be As Great As You”
This feels like faithful throwback to the oppressive atmosphere of the Subjection/Subordination EP, but shows the band's evolution over the intervening years at the same time.
