We Cut Corners have become a reliable source for both great songs and excellent videos.
Their new gentle little single, ‘Pirates Life’ continues this trend. It is accompanied by a stunning video from Polish artistic duo Kijek / Adamski, unbelievably the entire video was hand drawn, frame by frame using markers on paper – impressive stuff.
‘Pirate’s Life’ is taken from We Cut Corners’ debut album, Today I Realised I Could Go Home Backwards, which is out November 11.
Lyrics:
The night breaks into little parts and I’m not used to stealin hearts
its a pirates life for me
You floated over on the tide,
I kissed you on the starboard side
it’s the perfect side to be
Most of the time I spend lying around on the deck
My friend said it’s a gamble I said what the heck
look at me now I’m all out at sea
it’s a pirates life for me
you cursed the sea becomming rough
you said if I believed in love I’d take you home from it
but I’m committed to these crimes
I’ve given up a thousand times but I will never quit
you told me I gave you a lifetime worth of grief
I must be the commonest kind of theif if I only stole from you that which I need
its a pirates life I lead
Woah hoo-oo-oo-oo
hoo-oo-oo
Now I’ll admit it was remiss to sail you the precipis and then lead you there alone
but had I ever told you so you never would have agreed to go and then I’d be on my own
the greatest romances end with a minumus fuss
you live by the sword and you’re hit by a bus
you live by the river and drown in the sea
its a pirates life for me
