Wolves, Lower

Song available on Chronic Town.

Suspicion yourself, suspicion yourself, don't get caught.
Suspicion yourself, suspicion yourself, let us out.
Wilder, lower wolves. Here's a house to put wolves out the door.
In a corner garden, wilder lower wolves.
House in order. Ahhhhhh. House in order. Ahhhhhh. House in order. Ahhhhhh. House in order. Ahhhhhh.
Down there they're rounding a posse to ride.

Suspicion yourself, suspicion yourself, don't get caught.
Suspicion yourself, suspicion yourself, let us out. Wilder, lower wolves.
Here's a house to put wolves out the door.
In a corner garden, wilder lower wolves.
House in order. Ahhhhhh. House in order. Ahhhhhh. House in order. Ahhhhhh. House in order. Ahhhhhh.
Down there they're rounding a posse to ride.

Suspicion yourself, suspicion yourself, don't get caught.
Suspicion yourself, suspicion ourselves, suspicion yourself.
Wilder, lower wolves. Here's a house to put wolves out the door.
In a corner garden, wilder lower wolves.
House in order. Ahhhhhh. House in order. Ahhhhhh. House in order. Ahhhhhh. House in order. Ahhhhhh.
Down there they're rounding a posse to ride.


Spooky gospel, that's what we wanted it to be.

This song is basically, IMO, talking about 'post-punk' alterna-college-rock southernunderground movement that they were experiencing like fresh air. wolves gather in the corner of a garden. strength in numbers. but there is a posse outside: suspicion yourself and don't get caught by them (corruptmainstreamculture????) - don't forget this feeling - apply it to your life, breath and work....
