lyrics

Enamoured of flowers
found in the dustbin
Echoes of mania
dissolved by devotion
In the grip of a cool evening
I find life to be something
of a dream
Sometimes merrily
Sometimes not
Learning to live

I’m aging, I’m humming
and buzzing
Breeze laughter
Nowhere in particular to go
But happy to travel
Love finds company
and hate finds contempt
Strangers and strangers
Friends and friends
Walking the streets
Dizzy dizzy again

Within reach of the sky
Further into the night
Throw me in your cauldron
Hold me in your arms again
I’m your charm

Often but not always
I forget what joy we’ve
set in waiting for ourselves

Often but not always

Broken Down In Morgantown :: Titus Andronicus LLC Mixtape Volume 4 (An Asterix)
by Titus Andronicus

supported by 8 fans who also own “Often but Not Always”

RJ, Chris, Liam and Pat is definitely my fav Titus lineup. RJs backup vocals add a lot to the live experience and his and Chris's time with The Pharmacists make this a supergroup. Also their touring partners for this show Control Top and their label Get Better Records are doing a lot for music right now. Also all the talking interludes make it feel like you're there and add a lot to the personality of this live album. This is a great companion to the Stadium Rock live album. Monsters Breakfastclub

Some catchy tracks on here, and my guy is not afraid to rip a guitar solo. Sounds like Daniel Johnston country at times, and the album cover looks like a hip-hop record. Cidimon Arustavi
