Arkells - Deadlines Lyrics
They're sitting up in the board room
and you see it like a fly on the wall.
You can hear the man in the suit say
we don't have time to stall
We got deadlines to meet.
Oh We got deadlines to meet.
'Cause time equal...

Arkells - The Choir Lyrics
The graveyard is waiting
The church to let up
The church to let up on Friday morning
The pastor is preaching
Tears in his eyes
The shots were set off without warning
The isles don't see
Much traffic these days
Not even for S...
Arkells - Michigan Left Lyrics
Driving to work, I had the radio on,
Only to hear Curtis Granderson's gone.
Reminders they come in empty lots,
67' took these city blocks.
Can we meet in the middle?
Can I turn you around?
Let's talk a little and we ca...
Arkells - No Champagne Socialist Lyrics
Let the record show
It's 1964, in the city of New York
And take the train to Queens
And meet a Jewish family
He's the youngest one of three
And his brothers have left home
And he's on the same road
Just credits shy ...
Arkells - Heart Of The City Lyrics
We stood. In an empty house.
With bottles in our hands against the wall
On the last night of the year,
the lights slowly started to fall
And you say, "this could happen for a reason"
How can you not have any faith
The bea...
Arkells - Abigail Lyrics
Abigail, knew too well
What Zach was thinking
She watched his eyes
Stare at his empty, uneasy hand
He started sinking
In his chair, she knew Zach cared
But Didn't know he was afraid
Of what tomorrow held
Well he'd feel be...

Arkells - Where U Goin Lyrics
Now I heard about your hometown,
From my cousins who live there.
And I heard about the gold found,
Enough for everyone to share.
I heard about the numbers,
And I heard they were high.
Nobody likes to talk about it,
But everyone kn...

Arkells - I'm Not The Sun Lyrics
Slipped through the front door without a key
It's always unlocked when you're waiting for me
And I have to wait 'til your roommates were sleeping
They give you a hard time that I was over
Your eyes light up, always the...
Arkells - Agent Zero Lyrics
I used to find a little peace in the lay up line
When I start sweating I start to unwind
I used to find a little peace under the bright lights
When I start sweating I start to unwind
A lady came to me in 1985
We got in the car and sta...

Arkells - Systematic Lyrics
You walked in to the room like it was some kinda movie
These kind of matters aren't worth disputing
And when the going gets rough, you get a bit sloppy
But it never really mattered, cause you'll always land softly.

Arkells - Ballad Of Hugo Chavez Lyrics
Hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey!
It was a bad idea to give me this kind of time
When they said, "You're gonna be in solitary confinement"
And while the other inmates are outside lifting barbells
I'm in an eight by ten p...

[Verse 1]
I turn to you whenever I'm hurt
And I hang on you and your every word
You're rarely wrong I hate to put up a fight
You're rarely wrong but this time you might

Arkells - Blueprint Lyrics
If my moves could match these words
And my heart beat like those drums
I wouldn't feel the weight of the New Year
I keep wishing time would stop
So I could figure some shit out
I'd make a blueprint of what I plan to do her...

Arkells - What Are You Holding On To? Lyrics
I didn't think twice because I thought about it
You're a fool if you wanna doubt it
It's not too late to get on board tonight
I thought about the way I acted
There's some things that I'd like retracted

Arkells - Book Club Lyrics
I was heading to the bus stop, Matty,
You were reading in your room,
Holed up all day.
You picked me up in a brand new Audi
And said, "She bought it for herself on Mother's Day."
Then we hum along
To some familiar ...
Arkells - Crawling Through The Window Lyrics
We ran into each other from different directions
You asked what it was like; I said "it's not worth the mention"
I wasn't lying. I was just tired
You said "come join if you don't mind complaining"

Arkells - Whistleblower Lyrics
Words, they keep dropping.
They keep spilling from my hands on to paper.
I'm in Virginia.
It's 3am and I can't fall asleep.
Just a little bit of faith is what I want,
it's what I need in my institutions.
So I wa...
Arkells - One Foot Out The Door Lyrics
This time she really tried
Came home and the place was decorated
Put his pictures in frames
Even ones of his friends
That she hated
She smiled from the couch
Awaiting for him to come over
He put down his suitcase
Gave her a kiss on...
Arkells - Bloodlines Lyrics
When a switch turns on she just can't stop it.
Feeling all this weight and keeps losing some.
She's thinking about making appointments,
And I'm hoping that she'll just snap out of it.
I sleep over at her apartment...

Arkells - Round And Round Lyrics
I had the grace of a diplomat on his best behaviour
But throw a wrench into the plan
And I'll prepare a statement you know
I was built on shaky ground
And any day this all could come down
And toe to toe you know that I can...
Arkells - Hey Kids! Lyrics
Heads popped up, the loud speaker blared
A thousand different men, the same feeling shared,
Eyes were all blurry from sleepless night
It was all adding up, this must be a sign
His shoulders were sore, just like he was told
Something ...
Arkells - Never Thought That This Would Happen Lyrics
Beating the drum all night, dancing naked round a fire
Leaving trouble behind, swimming the the water
We found the tent with the flashlight, we were looking out for a hide out
When you're praying for no strings, sometimes you get ti...
Arkells - 11:11 Lyrics
You were all done up, but it wasn't for me
You were up at the front, tapping your feet
I was back at the bar; you had your eyes on the stage
You had an "x" on your hand to tell em' your age
I didn't put money...
Arkells - Pullin' Punches Lyrics
And no you don't hold grudges
Against those who hold that love
You know his renegade escapade
Can all be traced where he come from
There were times when he went missing
But you could always find his heart
When you head back t...

Arkells - Coffee Lyrics
No no really, this one's on me
I'll let you get the next time
We go out for coffee
'Cause I wanna know
All about your history
Open my eyes
We can solve this mystery
Cause I've got all the clues
And I can't ...
Arkells - Tragic Flaw Lyrics
Oh don't say it just don't say it
Ah shit it just came out
Once again, I couldn't hold it in
That's my tragic flaw without a doubt

Arkells - Don't Be A Stranger Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were 17, first time away from home
You lived down the hall
Went to high school in Oshawa
Days would go by, you'd never leave your room
I'd ask what was wrong
You just laughed and said, "C'mon&quo...
