SPCA
Go back to bed and start again
This day’s a bust-I’d rather rust
Last night’s events weigh on my head
The noise and the fight, the breaking of lights
Unsteady departure, you love like an archer
Take your aim, hit your mark and then suddenly walk
I should have know you wouldn’t stay
The first time we met, thought I was your pet
Call the SPCA ‘cause I’d rather be stray
Left me out in the cold when I got too close
Said I wanted more and you walked out the door
Unsteady departure, you love like an archer
Take your aim, hit your mark and then suddenly walk
I should have know you wouldn’t stay
I’ll go back to bed-I’ll try and forget
And I won’t look back on a lover who’s whacked
And someday you’ll regret leaving your little pet
I should have know you wouldn’t stay
I should have know you wouldn’t stay
I should have know you wouldn’t stay

DOG EARED, Michael Cerveris' 2003 debut record, recorded with a low key supergroup of 90's indie rockstar friends, is a unique, confessional “family” project for Cerveris, encompassing the skills of his diverse network of musician compadres and friends: co-producer/engineer Adam Lasus (Madder Rose, Clem Snide, Helium), Sleater-Kinney’s Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss, Ken Stringfellow (Posies, REM), Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth), Laura Cantrell, Norman Blake (Teenage Fan Club), Jeremy Chatzky (They Might Be Giants), Kevin March (Guided by Voices, Dambuilders), Anders Parker (Varnaline, Space Needle), Lara Gray (Luna, Ben Lee), Joe McGinty (Psychedelic Furs), strings arranger David Arnold (Bjork) and Alex Lutes (Nightnurse, Retriever) for recording sessions that took place sporadically over the course of six months in locales ranging from Brooklyn’s Red Hook waterfront to Portland, Oregon to Glasgow, Scotland. The album was mixed by Adam Lasus, Cerveris and Nick Brine (Oasis, Stone Roses) at the famed Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound NYC.
