Maritime

Maritime was formed in 2003 from the break up of The Promise Ring and The Dismemberment Plan. Eric Axelson (bass guitaristist) of The Dismemberment Plan and Davey von Bohlen (singer/guitarist) and Dan Didier (drummer) of The Promise Ring started a band called In English. The group quickly signed a deal with the record label ANTI- and hired J. Robbins to produce their record. Robbins had previously produced records for both The Promise Ring and The Dismemberment Plan.

Angel and Ida
Asleep by the pool again
Trying to chase the day away
She always wore red shoes
So I wore a matching tie
And everyone thought that we were a pair

But our teeth are wood
In the rusty air
Our blood is wine
As the year's been good
We stopped time
The votes are in
It's always July
I'm the king of doves
With perfect skin
We're dressing up
And dining in
It's who I am

All of your arms all
Over my problems now
Property just fades away
We'll always have Canada
No one will bother us
The horses and the company play

But our teeth are wood
In the dusty air
Our blood is wine
The year's been good
We stopped time
The votes are in
It's always July
I'm the king of doves
With perfect skin
We're dressing up
And dining in
It's who I am

The year's been good
We stopped time
The votes are in
It's always July
I'm the king of doves
With perfect skin
We're dressing up
And dining in

The year's been good
We stopped time
The votes are in
It's always July
I'm the king of doves
With perfect skin
We're dressing up
And dining in
It's who I am
