The Lost Kid Office
Bear Quartet · Eternity Now [2006]
There's no straight story
No comfort, no mean spirit
Here it's all cut and glue
Out of habit
We degraded ourselves
Old habit, oh habit go away
Let's go out, let's walk somewhere
Where nothing is or feels stale
It doesn't run as much as it grows
In out family, in our sad line
Waiting for you
Our demise will spread
More warmth than our entire lives
Goodbye woods,
Streets and friends,
Neighborhoods,
Everything that made us ill
We're OK
No comfort, no mean spirit
Here it's all cut and glue
Out of habit
We degraded ourselves
Old habit, oh habit go away
Let's go out, let's walk somewhere
Where nothing is or feels stale
It doesn't run as much as it grows
In out family, in our sad line
Waiting for you
Our demise will spread
More warmth than our entire lives
Goodbye woods,
Streets and friends,
Neighborhoods,
Everything that made us ill
We're OK
The Lost Kid Office
Released on the 2006 album Eternity Now, The Lost Kid Office by Bear Quartet stands as a defining track of the post-punk revival era. The song exemplifies the group's signature blend of jangly guitars, driving rhythms, and introspective lyrics that often explore themes of alienation and urban life. As part of their broader discography, this recording captures the raw energy and melodic sophistication that characterized their work in the mid-2000s. It remains a staple for fans of the genre, reflecting the band's ability to craft memorable songs that resonate with listeners seeking authentic, emotionally charged rock music from that period.
