The Twilight Sad

The Twilight Sad are an indie rock band from Kilsyth, Scotland, comprising James Graham (vocals), Andy MacFarlane (guitar), and Mark Devine (drums). The band are currently signed to Fat Cat Records and have released three full-length albums, as well as several EPs and singles. Their 2007 debut album, Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters, drew widespread acclaim from critics, who noted Graham's thick Scottish accent and MacFarlane's dense sonic walls of shoegazing guitar and wheezing accordion. The Twilight Sad's notoriously loud live performances have been described as "completely ear-splitting," and the band toured for the album across Europe and the United States throughout 2007 and 2008.

So you just stepped out
Of the front of my house
And I'll never see you again
I closed my eyes for a second
And when they opened
You weren't there
And the door shut shut
I was vacuum packed
Shrink-wrapped out of air
And the spine collapsed
And the eyes rolled back
To stare at my starving brain

And fully clothed, I float away
Down the Forth, into the sea
I think I'll save suicide for another day

And I picture this corpse
On the M8 hearse
And I have found a way to sleep
On a rolled up coat
Against the window
With the strobe of the sun
And the life I've led
Am I ready to leap
Is there peace beneath
The roar of the Forth Road Bridge?
On the northern side
There's a Fife of mine
And a boat in the port for me

Fully clothed, I'll float away
Down the Forth, into the sea
I'll steer myself
Through chopping waves
As manic gulls
Scream "It's okay"
Take your life
Give it a shake
Gather up
All your loose change
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
(I think I'll save suicide for another year)
Another year, another year, another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
