about

Include your name, a loved one's, your kid's – anyone's! – in your personalized version of this song that you will receive if you:
1st buy this song and then:
2nd hit up Jon at jon@neckofthewoodsrecords.com and tell him which names to include in your very personalized version of this song!

This track appears on our "Songs from Tuesday" EP amongst four other tracks. By purchasing that EP you are directly funding the recording of our second full length album. Your limited edition copy will be numbered (between 001-100) and you will even receive a personalized Thank You in the sleeve notes as well as a special lyric pdf sheet containing exclusive pictures. None of the songs will ever appear on any streaming site, so the only way to get your hands on these songs is to buy it. We want this to be super-exclusive and fun! Hopefully in ten years you can brag about finding this band early on and your EP is worth ten times what you paid for it. That's just how much we love you.

lyrics

We’re so lost now,
We’re so gone now
We’re breaking in
Into houses of the people
We thought we’re in bed with
For the long haul
But now it’s a thing
The clashes of the classes
And they’re asking

Have you seen me
On the cover of a magazine?
And we’re smiling, smiling wide
Take a look around

The burglars are back in town
And we’re taking our money now
If you insist on keeping your crown
We’re ripping those diamonds out

We’re so cross now
But we’re straight now
They know they’re up
’Gainst the real crowd
Not the breakdown
Of their quarterly crops
We’re not sorry, we just worry
’Bout the next few months
We’re lying to our babies
And that’s why we’ve come

Have you seen us?
Do we look like giving up?
And we’re smiling
Yeah, we’re smiling wide
Take a look around

The burglars are back in town
And we’re taking our money now
If you insist on keeping your crown
We’re ripping those diamonds out
Maria and Luis
Kimberly and Steve
Amina and Rashid
People I’ve never seen

All over the city streets
Beautiful anarchy
No-one needs to bleed
Just money being freed

Take a look around
The burglars are back in town
’Cause what’s yours was always ours
Yeah the burglars are back in town
’Cause what’s yours was always ours

The Fisherman & The Sea Helsinki, Finland

From Finland – a country that allegedly holds more metal bands than park rangers are able to rescue from their gothic photoshoots in the hinterlands, and where disoriented polar bears roam downtown shopping centres – hail singer-songwriter Jon Eden and his band. His roots also put him in Hamburg, Germany thus planting him somewhere in the Baltic Sea in compromise – hence the name of the band. ... more
