Cubically Contained Lyrics

Good for me for a time
All hell's cubically contained
Starched and bottled
Pressed and altered
And at the ready for the reins
The first tiny little shadows
Of my creepy little thoughts
Inhabit all that matters
And I lose by default

And I'll never promise anything again
I never promise anything again
I never promise anything again

I set a dozen 12-step traps
But they've slid by everyone
I never catch the little bastards
I really do wish that they'd own up

Those paranoid little fuckers
Take their paranoid little time
And when the moon rolls in
They're like a bank-robbin'
And I'm a hostage who will drive

And I never promise anything again
I never promise anything again
I never promise never promise never promise
Anything again anything again
Never promise never promise
Anything again anything again
Never promise anything again

Now I can only do so much
And I will never deviate
I hear myself take a deep breath
And think I musta wanted it this way

I remember all those little traps
I could not keep them in place
They were never stationed anywhere
They were terrorized and maimed

So tonight I set a vigil
And my shadow's all that's cast
And the iron that's encased it
Is doing all that one could ask

And I never promise anything again
I never promise anything again
I never promise anything again
Anything again
Never promise
Anything again
Never promise
Anything again
Anything again
Never promise
Anything again

Headstones is a Canadian punk-influenced alternative rock band that began in 1987 in the bars of Kingston, Ontario. The band was initially active until 2003, subsequently reforming in 2011. The band consists of vocalist Hugh Dillon, guitarist Trent Carr, bassist Tim White, and drummer Dale Harrison.

Best known for their raucous live performances, the band became one of the most commercially successful Canadian rock bands of the 1990s. Over their career the band enjoyed nationwide radio-play in Canada and had several Juno Award nominations. Their musicianship is typically tight and energetic, their music usually heavy and rough; lyrics range from break-ups to addiction, damnation to necrophilia.

The band signed to MCA Records in 1993 and released Picture of Health, with the original drummer Mark Gibson, but he left the band after touring for Picture of Health was over. Dale Harrison was recruited for the follow-up Teeth and Tissue in 1995. The band broke more ground in 1996 with Juno Award nominations for Best Group and Best Rock Album, while releasing Smile and Wave that same year. Three years passed before Nickels for Your Nightmares was released, in which time Carr and Harrison became fathers and Dillon recovered from a drug addiction. The band would release one more album, on BMG, entitled The Oracle of Hi-Fi, before a break up in 2003

Frontman Hugh Dillon has appeared in several films, including the mockumentary Hard Core Logo. He has also played a main role as one of the police officers in the popular show, Flashpoint, shown on CBS/CTV. He heads the Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir.

The original band members reunited in February 2011 for a mini tour. They released the album, titled Love + Fury, on 14 May 2013. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
