Biografía:
Destroyer es el proyecto más personal del canadiense Dan Bejar, también en The New Pornographers, Swan Lake y en el grupo recién formada Hello, Blue Roses.
Aunque Destoyer sigue siendo miembro activo de los The New Pornographers y sigue aportando canciones a su repertorio, Dan lleva el último par de años centrado en su proyecto personal.
Considerado uno de los compositores de mayor talento de nuestro tiempo (e indiscutiblemente uno de los más prolíficos), Bejar disfruta con el cambio sorprendiéndonos en cada uno de sus trabajos.

[Verse 1]
C E
You can huff and you can puff
Am
But you'll never destroy that stuff
Dm G
Finally, I see why, I suppose
Dm
Kid, you better change your feathers
F C F
Cause you'll never fly with those... things
C F
In 'These Nights,' the boys sing
C
"Hello, emptiness
F
I heard you're alright
C
I've heard you're alright
F
I've heard of you"
[Verse 2]
C E
A body aching, fragile, and pale
Am
Dark valleys house its trail
F G
Why can't you see that a life in art and a life of mimicry
Dm G
It's the same thing?!
[Instrumental]
C F Dm G
C F
[Verse 3]
C Am
The room was crowded
C Am F
And, though you couldn't care less about it, that much was true
G
That month
F G
Another version of this miniature Rome to set fire to
F
Why did we stop fucking around you?
G
Girls like gazelles graze
F G Dm G
Boys wearing bells blaze new trails in sound
[Instrumental]
C F Dm G x2
C F
[Verse 4]
C G
I looked up, I looked around
F Em
A famous Toronto painter shot me down
Am D
"Oh, I've busted my ass on these streets too long," he said
F G F
I set fire to the bed and tore his gown
[Outro]
F Em Dm C F
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada
F Em Dm C F
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada
F Em
Felt some mercurial presence, hitherto unknown
Dm C
It was the sun, it was a stone falling through blank space
F Em Dm C
It was that jewel-encrusted roan getting in my face
F Em
Looked across the way to The Princess Rooms
Dm
I saw brides and their grooms
C
I heard the sound of bells ringing!
F Em Dm C F
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada
F Em
Cinders look back fondly upon a house on fire when across
Dm
An ocean we go
C F
We row and we row and we tire
F Em Dm C F
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada
F Em
Now, step out of the darkness and into the light
Dm C
Yeah, it's common knowledge I've been doing alright
F
No, I can't complain
Em Dm
On the East side, midwives' lives go down the drain
C F Em
All cause our babies are dying, oh-oh-oh!
F Em Dm C F
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada
F Em Dm C F
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada
F Em Dm
I lifted the veil to see nature's trickery revealed as pure shit
C F Em
From which nothing ever rose cause nothing ever could
Dm C F Em
I swear somewhere the truth lies within this wood
Dm C F Em
I swear, "Looters' Follies" has never sounded so good
Dm C F Em Dm C
And, win or lose, what's the difference?
F Em Dm C F
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada
F Em Dm C F
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada
F Em Dm C F
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada
F Em Dm C F
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada

Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada
