If I was clever I would endeavor
to make things go your way
Every moment would be your own and
you'd always have a say
Just like it was when we were so young and
we made the world with play
Don't be surprised if the plans that you plan
Don't go according to plan
I was a smart guy as the days went by
I became plenty dumb
If I could eat my words I would sure try
and drink would make me numb
Forgive my intrusions but these illusions
are what I'd spare you from
Don't be surprised if the plans that you plan
Don't go according to plan
It's not a point about past mistakes or singing a different tune
Breaking the promises that we make everything happens too soon
I'd give you kindness or peace of mindness
if that would make you free
Some kind of world where things that occurred were
what you had dreamed they'd be
Can't make it real but fiction is better
than this reality
Don't be surprised if the plans that you plan
Don't go according to plan
L.A.'s Smokescreens recall the moment when post-punk transformed into indie pop on their David Kilgour-produced full-length. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 3, 2020
Terrific jangle pop with an edge, somewhere between Television Personalities and R.E.M. with a bit of Kinks in there, too. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023
