Always Play Covers is an epic double-album created by fans as a tribute to Starflyer 59. Originating in a Facebook fan group as the simple idea of a tribute album, we quickly received a wealth of submissions - so many, in fact, that we made the decision to split the album in two, thus creating a listening experience at once more manageable and decidedly unique. Thematically divided in half, each side of the album presents the listener with a different take on Starflyer 59: one a little more upbeat and sunny, one a little moodier, more introspective.
lyrics
Tragedy likes trouble
I get the feeling you want double
there's something evil in what you say
you need the needful, an honest trade
now it's done, I won't lie
the Dumb have won
and how it's done
I won't lie
mission accomplished
leave out the long list
So I put in to travel
I got my hands full, so full of trouble
there's something evil when it's double
they leave the needy while others wait
so now it's done, I won't lie
the Dumb have won
and how it's done, I won't lie
