Monarchs 05:23
Fly with the monarchs To Baja, California Following My Empress Because the nights here are getting colder Ozone stack Of orange, white and black Here with me As far as the eye can see. Fly with the monarchs To the Gulf of Mexico I am the viceroy With a wingspan that's made of gold Ozone stack Of orange, white and black Here with me As far as the eye can see. Blazing stars bleed Dripping into the milkweed For two lifetimes The mimic bell chimes.

Don't get bitter I try to tell myself I guess its better That you don't want me Go torture someone else But I still wonder where you went 'Cause I'm a glutton for punishment And there's a bomb throbbing in the suitcase Fact is that I still cannot say your name Whatever it was that I said Cant compare to what you did You broke my soul You know it Now you have to live with it But I still wonder where you went 'Cause I'm a glutton for punishment And there's a bomb throbbing in the suitcase Fact is that I still cannot say your name Say your name Say your name I still wonder where you went 'Cause I'm a glutton for punishment And there's a bomb throbbing in the suitcase Fact is that I still cannot say your name

That day out in the courtyard You were trying way to hard A congregated kick-down Like spiders from under ground (under ground) How 'bout you run when I run Gone to oblivion A parallel conveyer belt Your friends saw when you fell (when you fell) Ohh oh oh As we come winding down Ohh oh oh ohh As we come winding down Your gold plated dancers And midnight romancers Just like an after-prom A Spanish fly fire bomb (fire bomb) Ohh oh oh As we come winding down Ohh oh oh ohh As we come winding down (x2) You're perfectly content being miserable Being miserable Ohh oh oh As we come winding down Ohh oh oh ohh As we come winding down (x2)

Mobile 02:15
You've still got a rotary phone yeah That hangs there on the wall now And you refuse To get yourself a Mobile (x3) 'Cause you love To wrap the phone cord Round & round & round your finger While you're tellin' all of your friends More lies (x3) You make wild claims Like how the color of your eyes change With your mood Blue for complacent Green for horny And gray, gray for despair gray for despair, gray for despair

Let not your heart be troubled Fear not who may darken your door I can hear your voice From the bedroom next And your demons crawlin' across the floor Everybody knows You've got midnight of the soul No one there to hold you To hold you now Instead of mending You medicate And tie a crimson thread Around your wrist To remind you of your big mistake The big escape Everybody knows You've got midnight of the soul No one there to hold you To hold you Everybody knows You've got midnight of the soul No one there to hold you To hold you now Let not your heart be troubled Fear not who may darken your door I can hear your voice From the bedroom next And your demons crawlin' across the floor

Sidewalk swells Underneath our feet And the low-slung moon Through the mist Dew glistens On the roses, the grass & trees Let our hands brush Let our hearts crush So that I might tremble I think these streets Were made for you & me I might Tremble Lets go To the places we used to go Be who we were & my heart heaved When you walked by my window yesterday Maybe I'll stay Let our hands brush Let our hearts crush So that I might tremble I think these streets Were made for you & me I might Tremble I mask my fear with a strut So that you cant see the real me Actually, you know what I'm just gonna let it breathe Let our hands brush Let our hearts crush So that I might tremble I think these streets Were made for you & me I might Tremble

about

Jim Pullman's latest release is a 6 song EP clocking in at just under 25 minutes. It left me wanting more as Pullman and his band-mates breathe yet another breath of fresh air into the local music scene. “Monarchs” is a gem, and features a much more cohesive, rocking Pullman band.

This is Jim Pullman “the band”, sounding seamless and larger than the sum of it's parts. The CD sounds fantastic, layered and “big sounding”. Although very different from the previous release, it still has that distinctive Pullman sound, great songs, interesting lyrical themes and top notch production. While EP's may be the latest craze, it left me wanting more, always a good sign. Jim Pullman Band is one of Eau Claire's local treasures, not to be missed live where the music really takes flight.
