Count the steps around the park Consider drinking in the yard Hang the words of a perfect stranger in the hallways of my heart 'Cause all the blessings are somebody else's They're flowers in my neighbor's pot I'm torn exactly into two pieces One who wants you and one who's gone dark
But I'm still in sight Your fast machine Always holding your love supreme Our 45's Spinning out of time But honey, I'm still on your side
Are my hopes finally gonna waste me? Am I the worst compass I could know? So I took the bus across the bridge Sold my bedroom from my home Maybe it's the East Coast in the music Or the endless road from the past But while you're praying at the '90s They're carving up anything that lasts
But I'm still in sight Your fast machine Always holding your love supreme Our 45's Spinning out of time But honey, I'm still on your side
Now you're just a stranger that I know best Now you're just a stranger that I know best Now I'm just a stranger that you know best
There ain't no book that I can live by Just these naggings I can't shake A hum coming from the basement A little crying out for crying out's sake 'Cause if I can learn to love your shadow When your shadow hits the light And there ain't no trace of what we've been through Then I'll shout it 'til the day that I die
But I'm still in sight Your fast machine Always holding your love supreme Our 45's Spinning out of time But honey, I'm still on your side
I'm still on your side

Start with ‘Strange Desire’, then follow Jack Antonoff’s route from immediate synth-pop catharsis to the full-band scale of Bleachers’ later records.
Jack Antonoff and co have contributed a new song to the sequel’s soundtrack.
As Bleachers prepare to release their fifth album ‘Everyone For Ten Minutes’, Jack Antonoff reflects on a decade of slow-burn growth, the chaos of modern life, the power of community and why making music that tries to please everyone is “a failure of imagination”.
The new album will be released this spring via Dirty Hit.
