Stephen Bailey In an era where bands tend to downplay songwriting and production ambitions for the sake of seeming "authentic", El Silver Cabs come at you with the best of both and to hell with perceptions. Hooky soulful vocals, fun shreddy guitar playing, and memorable hooks that are in and out so fast you can't help but hit repeat. Favorite track: Local Train.

Rainy Days 02:55
Fine I'll stay I never meant to shit all over your parade But I'm so done with spending all our time this way Just cause it starts with a spark don't mean it won't decay I can't keep faking I love you til we're grey Who descended with haste Every day You used to always have something cute to say I hate the way you lust for rainy days Wishing you could turn the blue to grey I've always known I'd rather settle for something than be on my own I don't want to be old eating cold soup alone No one to laugh at my jokes, no new texts on my phone Just me and my TV means a quiet home I'd rather sit with you stoned Sepia toned At least the problems we have are local grown I hate the way you lust for rainy days Wishing you could turn the blue to grey You turn me off again

Make me a hero Somebody's got to be that guy Back in Virginia They swear that I'm one of a kind Just above zero Spending the winter marred in grime They said take it or leave it I guess I'm leaving you behind And I don't mind I was king for a time And I don't mind I wanna be George Washington I wanna be George Washington Two is enough babe Don't want to keep what isn't mine Bring it back to the people I'm sure that they can choose just fine Heading back to Virginia Run out my clock among the vines They said take it or leave it I guess I'm leaving you behind And I don't mind I was king for a time And I don't mind I wanna be George Washington I wanna be George Washington

Local Train 02:11
Put me on the local train Stare out the window thinking over How it's all the same mistakes That circle around us, pile up and drown us again You said that he's just a friend And those dirty boxers are mine Those half-cooked alibis, why do you insist that we're fine? Together but in separate rooms Nobody's speaking and Bob Dylan's Seeping from the floor below us I know all the lyrics but the last thing I want to do Is baby be friends with you That's 18 months I gave up For you to find a new fuck That's just embarrassing luck You're gonna put me on a train You're gonna put me on a local train
