about

“It’s a classic boy/girl love song. If cupid had a switchblade instead of an arrow. Love…like chewing on a bumblebee.” - Kirk Hellie

lyrics

Hey motherfucker
Don’t you steal my smile
Hey motherfucker
You’ve been cruel for a while
For while
For a while

Hey little sunshine
Gone and robbed my soul
Hey little sunshine
It’s my heart that you stole
I want it back
Give it back

Every time you come around
The stars all cease to shine

Hey buttercup you’ve been
Dipping on the side
Hey Buttercup you’ve been twisting and lying
All this time
All this time

Every night you come around
The stars all cease to shine

Hey motherfucker
Don’t you kill my smile
Hey motherfucker
You’ve been cruel for a while
For while
For a while

Every time you come around
The stars all cease to shine
Every night you come this way
It’s love......... that’ll shut you down

With Escape Artist Lovers, Hellie and Phoenix have taken their extensive record collections and filtered those timeless songs through lifetimes of hard knock optimism and an unflagging belief in the power of an insinuating chorus to transform the soul. Upon listening to their music, it’s clear that Hellie and Phoenix aren’t operating in the shadow of history, they’re basking in its sunlight. ... more
