A pointed, subtle but also catchy number about making mistakes, regret and social division, US artist Mark Oliver Everett and band return with the lead single from the upcoming 16th album, Cookie Happened, out on 16 October via E Works / Play It Again Sam. Everett describes the single as a “bittersweet and beautifully bruised first take of the album” that is “told from the perspective of someone finally confronting their mistakes and is now attempting to set things right.” To explore and enjoy more by EELS, see also the other embedded links below.
Here is the church
Here is the steeple
Open the door, see
All the broken people
Does it make much sense
To build another fence
When no one is knocking on the door
And so I'm coming to you cap in hand
Before you I stand
A broken man who's picking up the pieces
Left unattended
I really upended
The world that we knew
Nothing you could do
Persona non grata
You do what you gotta
When you're not welcome in your home
And so I'm coming to you cap in hand
Before you I stand
A broken man who's picking up the pieces
And so I'm coming to you cap in hand
Before you I stand
A broken man who's picking up the pieces
