They’re burning down the alder wood Sweeping up my dream soot Finding bits of never coulds and always wishes The villains down on Fourteenth Street Suffocating the concrete And their faces look so complete among the ashes I need someone to help me break this family curse Before I’m fixed for the company hearse The factory up on Jutland Road Where we’d go to watch the dolls explode Now houses a different load behind the bricks and mortar The Colonel’s villa is up for lease Upon the door hangs a sympathy wreath From all the ones who had the sense to leave And left this weight on my shoulders I need someone to help me break this family curse Before I’m fixed for the company hearse I really thought it was going to be you But you decided you cannot deny it You’ve much better things to do ooh ooh ooh I need someone to help me break this family curse Before I’m fixed for the company hearse I need someone to help me break this family curse Before I’m fixed for the company hearse It really can’t get any worse Now I’m fixed for the company hearse

I don’t leave the radio on anymore. No I don’t leave the radio on anymore. You were a special girl who only needed one more life. Selfishly spoken as I lay in a ball here tonight. I still see you from the corner of my eye, And sometimes I swear I even hear you cry. But you’re just playing with the loose strings of my mind. And I don’t leave the radio on anymore. No I don’t leave the radio on anymore. And there’s no real reason for stumbling through the door. No I don’t leave the radio on anymore. If I’d been more like you I could see myself through this darkness. Won’t somebody please let me out of this bag labeled loneliness? You always landed square on your feet. I hope this time I can be so lucky, As I fall from a billion stories. All about her and the rattle of the keys, That makes the engine purr, And brought her to me. And killed her curiousity. Emptiness is scratching at the screen. Something’s amiss now things have changed. I cannot speak, my tongue, she’s got again. And I don’t leave the radio on anymore. No I don’t leave the radio on anymore. And there’s no real reason for stumbling through the door. No I don’t leave the radio on anymore.

about

This 7” single marks the first appearance EVER of The JCI on shiny black vinyl. Produced by iconic Canadian musician Moe Berg (TPOH) and performed exclusively by James Clark, Moe Berg and long time JCI keyboardist Greg Condie. “Company Hearse” deals with the universal thought that maybe life has passed one by while “I Don’t Leave The Radio On Anymore” immortalizes James’ sadly departed kitty companion.
