    TBH was recorded over the summer of 2005 in the Eastern Townships outside of Montreal near the town of Sutton. We set up a makeshift studio in a barn and basically tracked everything while the insects buzzed and birds sang during the day; and the crickets chirped and the coyotes howled at night.

lyrics

BATMOBILE

Oh, Lily, I am waiting at the secret hiding place
The leader’s chair is open just for you
That time I made you follow me through the cemetery gates
You swore you hated me, now was that true
You can always catch the bigger frogs and almost spit as far
And when we race we’re mostly close to tied
Whenever we arm wrestle, I never tell you this
I let you win just once, the rest I really tried//

Now the Batmobile, lost a wheel
The Joker got a way
And I don’t feel like playing much today
No I don’t feel like playing much today//

I still have never French-kissed, you’re right it was a lie
But I was thinking maybe that we could someday try
I hope you’re not forgetting the night we slept outside
We pinky-sweared you’d marry me as soon as we could drive
So I dug up the jar of coins we saved and those cigarettes
The army knife we cut our hands upon
And I’ll work until the jar is full and buy that rusty car
That sits upon the blocks behind the neighbor’s lawn

Now the Batmobile, lost a wheel
The Joker got a way
And I don’t feel like playing much today//

If you lean outside your window
I’ll pull a wheelie on my bike
And hold it all the way to Maple Street
I’ll do my monkey imitation the way you always like
And write our names into the wet concrete
Because your brother says you’re sick
Much sicker than a cold
Kind of like what Mister Sutter had
If you start to lose your hair you can wear my lucky cap
And I’ll live with you in the hospital
Lily it won’t be bad
Lily don’t be sad//

Now the Batmobile, lost a wheel
The Joker got a way
And I don’t feel like playing much today
‘Like playing much today
‘Like doing much today//
