about

I found this Vampire Weekend cover in my recordings and thought it was interesting enough to post here. I especially love the change in sounds on the bridge from guitar and crashing waves to an organ and campfire at night…

I can’t recall why I chose this particular song since there are so many on the album I love, but if you haven’t heard Vampire Weekend or are trying to avoid the hype surrounding them, do yourself a favor and have a listen. They’re definitely one of my favorites…

lyrics

Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?
Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod, out of Cape Cod tonight?
Walcott, Mystic seaport is that way
Don't you know that your life would be lost out of Cape Cod tonight?

Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?
Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod, out of Cape Cod tonight?
Walcott, the bottleneck is a shit show
Hyannisport is a ghetto out of Cape Cod tonight

Lobster's claw is sharp as knives
Evil feasts on human lives
The Holy Roman Empire roots for you

Walcott, all the way to New Jersey
All the way to the Garden State, out of Cape Cod tonight

Walcott, fuck the women from Wellfleet
Fuck the bands from Provincetown
Heed my words and take flight

Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?
Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod, out of Cape Cod tonight?
