The National - Mistaken For Strangers

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
oh you wouldn’t want an angel watching over
surprise, surprise they wouldn’t wanna watch
another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
- The National, Mistaken For Strangers

The National are veterans of the Blades of Blue Monthly Mix. Here is a tune called Mistaken for Strangers that just might make the next disc. If you happen to be a fan of Morphine, you will have to agree that on some of their tunes, the lead singer of this band sounds a bit like Sandman. Enjoy.



I like that lyric: "they wouldn’t wanna watch another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults..."
