Biography:
Alternately explosive and restrained, the aptly titled The Bloom and the Blight is a meditation on past and present - melodic fury matched with the eloquent, confessional lyricism that has made Two Gallants an enduring favorite of both fans and critics.
Capturing the sound of a new beginning, The Bloom and the Blight celebrates the band’s much anticipated reunion following a multi-year break. It is the work of Two Gallants, fully matured, the band fearlessly exploring new ground in search of a sound that defines a very personal catharsis.

The Throes (Two Gallants)
(Capo +3)
Intro: C Em Am G
1.
C Em
'Well I don't know if I can take this anymore'
Am
she's thinkin' as he shoves her 'gainst the wall
G
Screamin'. 'Well than what good are you for,
C
you don't give me no pleasure at all.'
Em
'Oh now I know I need to leave'
Am
so she tells herself again,
G
wipes a little blood upon her sleeve,
but she don't tell herself when.
F C Am G
And baby starts a cryin', daddy sits back down,
C G Am G
sinks another drink to bring his temper down.
C G
And his image there reflectin' on the TV screen,
F C Am G
reminds her of a better day she thought she'd seen.
Refrain:
C G
But now take your time before you grieve,
F C
and keep your heart hid off your sleeve,
F C
cause ain't no one but you deceived,
Am G
your sympathy is soon to leave.
C G
And now hide your mouth before you speak,
F C
or better yet just turn a cheek
F C
I watch your interest growin' weak,
F C
but still you say that I'm the freak
Em G C
and I guess that's fine with me.
Bridge: C Em Am G
2.
C Em
But he's probably had a long, long day,
Am
she's thinkin' in the kitchen while she weeps,
G
puttin' dinner's leftovers away
C
as he stumbles off to bed and then to sleep.
Em
Surely he'll be better come the dawn,
Am
when I rise to cook him breakfast 'fore he goes,
G
wakes without a word and then he's gone,
C
he's got that kind of love that never shows.
F C Am G
And baby starts a wailin', daddy comes back down,
C G Am G
'Shut up that child', she hears him shout,
C G
and cradled in her arms she tries to calm the sound,
F C Am G
'How am I to sleep', he screams and slaps her down.
Refrain:
C G
But now take your time before you grieve,
F C
and keep your heart hid off your sleeve,
F C
cause ain't no one but you deceived,
Am G
your sympathy is soon to leave.
C G
And now hide your mouth before you speak,
F C
or better yet just turn a cheek
F C
I watch your interest growin' weak,
F C
but still you say that I'm the freak
Em G C
and I guess that's fine with me.
Bridge: C Em Am G
3.
C Em
And when she wakes her head don't cease to pain,
Am
body's broken and her clothes are torn away,
G
still the threat of emptiness remains,
C
s she struggles to her feet to get away.
Em
'Hell, where has my child gone',
Am
she screams as she runs from room to room.
G
Every sound of silence lingers on,
not a single kick inside her womb.
F C Am G
And her mind drowns into shadows, mama falls back down,
C G Am G
where the walls that shape her world seem taller from the ground.
C G
And no more breath to scream her throat just drifts away,
F C Am G
and no more life to lose as if there were to save.
Refrain:
C G
But now take your time before you grieve,
F C
and keep your heart hid off your sleeve,
F C
cause ain't no one but you deceived,
Am G
