    Accordion-shaped 7″ from Sabot Productions, it’s the “Hearts of Boston/No Matter How Good You Are” w/ paper-lantern “bellows,” designed by Ariana Nicolay and (laboriously) hand-glued & numbered by FN. The B-side is an outtake from the “Do The Struggle” sessions, which Peter Hess described it as “the members of Queen performing the soundtrack to ‘Fiddler On The Roof’ from memory.”

lyrics

(Lyrics by Emilyn Brodsky, www.emilynbrodsky.net)

You’re taking pleasure in taking prisoners
Is that a dull hum or a muted whisper?
Just listen, it’s not a problem if you miss her.

Time doesn’t tell, but time can tame
After the war what can remain?
The ruin, a faith in the refrain.

I never did believe that leaving’d get you anywhere but gone.
I was wrong.
I never did believe that leaving gets you anywhere but gone.
I was wrong.

You trust your gut and you hold your tongue.
Did you really think we were the only ones?
There’s more where we came from.

I hear sometimes it’s time to take off
When it gets too hard or when your skin won’t stay soft
A draw feels like a loss.

I never did believe that leaving gets you anywhere but gone.
I was wrong.

Please take no prisoners
Take heart, or take me home.
It won’t make a difference
Lose heart or lose control.
I never did believe that leaving gets you anywhere but gone.
I was wrong.
