    In a few short clicks you could be the proud owner of The Cooks debut EP! 'Our First Child' has been born, weighing in at (coincidentally) the weight of a generic CD plus a thin cardboard slip. With beautiful Cover art by Kathleen Strumila (Anyavna), this is definitely not a release to be missed. And while you're at it, grab one for your Grandma as well, I guarantee she'll dig it.

lyrics

It's too late to catch the 86 or 19 tram
So I stumble to where I've got to be
But this is exactly what I needed tonight to be alone with my thoughts
As terrifying as that may seem to me

And what's in my mind, you know I wish I knew
From Nobel Prizes to bitter sweet lies
That I will no doubt whisper to you
I got lost in your eyes and that's no surprise
Hanging on every word you said
Which made me miss the last train home

And this is a song for a girl who I'd kiss if I had the time
And my god, you know I've got the time
I'm very out of sight which means I'm very out of mind
I'm just trying my best to be kind
Which leaves me with one question, were is my mind?

And why did I even come here tonight? Will I become engrossed?
Or will I just become one with the ghosts?
A delusional childlike fantasy, that this would work and make me happy
But then again, when hasn't that been exactly like me?

And this is a song for a girl who I'd kiss if I had the time
And my god, you know I've got the time
I'm very out of sight which means I'm very out of mind
I'm just trying my best to be kind
Which leaves me with one question, were is my mind?

I wish I could remember what things were like before the war
That we don't talk about, and I got tired
Am I too altered, or am I too safe?
I like to think I'm never too safe
But what do I know?

And this is a song for a girl who I'd kiss if I had the time
And my god, you know I've got the time
