Biography:
Said the Whale is a Canadian band formed in 2007 as a collaboration between songwriters Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft. The pair’s debut EP, Taking Abalonia, featured sunny west coast indie pop, with breezy harmonies, shimmering guitars and lyrical tributes to their home city of Vancouver, “nodding at times to the sea shanties of Neutral Milk Hotel and at others to the boat-shoe-gazing of Vampire Weekend” said The National Post. In 2008, the album was re-released as Howe Sounds/Talking Abalonia

And each year things got more serious.

Am C
But we're just dumb animals with our paws in the hole, grasping gold.
F G
Now we're stuck in a small town,
Am C
out on the shield, but it lost it's appeal long ago.
F G
We wake up at dawn and kiss our wives on the forehead
Am C
and we slowly make our way into the caves where we will forget,
F G
the faces of our children and our small regrets
Am C
Like, I should have kept that lucky penny while I had the chance
F C
We never meant to stay here.
Enjoy.
