    Artist: Metric
    Album: Static Anonymity EP (2001)
    Lyrics
    I said, I'm sorry to change my mind
    It was a little bit cold that night
    I was dreading the ride back to little Italy
    And needing to hide out from my mind
    When you walk, you move like Moses
    When you look, you look like Red Roses
    Every day breaks bitter river, was a flood
    Why do you leave me in-between Siamese cities
    I saw the sky and you, what do you see in me
    This Rubbermaids had better days
    Shaken out, static anonymity
    Vanity, don't let war die down
    When you take, you turn me over
    From the street, rock radio plays crimson and clover
    Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
    Why do you leave me in-between Siamese cities?
    When you walk, you move like Moses
    When you look, you look like red roses
    Every day breaks, bitter river was flood
    Whyd you leave me?
    Whyd you leave me?
    Whyd you leave me in-between Siamese cities?
    Sha la la la
    Sha la la la
    She is shaken out static anonymity
    She is shaken out static anonymity
    She is shaken (temporarily)
    She is shaken (temporarily)
    She is shaken out, static anonymity
    She is shaken out, static anonymity

      Probably not going to happen. It only had a very small physical release, and has never had an official online release. They're basically acting like it doesn't exist.

    1.) Cut in half and double
    2.) Knives don't have your back (Emily's solo album) With soft skeleton
    3.) Grow up and Blow away
    4.) Live it out
    5.) Fantasies
    6.) Synthetica
    I think I just named every album from emily haines and Metric as a band, Although there are other songs emily does solo you can find on youtube, That aren't listed in Knives don't have your back, They are great too.
    I just gave you 10 more years of music to listen in ecstacy
