Sisters 02:36
You seem surprised When it's stalling You seem too shy But you're shouting You walk around With a strong air No need to pout Sister's rollin' It's not what we wanted It's not what we thought We'll be here forever With tears in our eyes 'Til it always feels right (We'll be under clear skies) You seem to drag When it's floating Your need to cry Always showing You compromise All you've started It's all combined It's not sorted

Sweethearts 03:11
It's not easy When you go Just like the first time We ever knew It's so easy Next to you And it's all eyes Matter what we do We just have it To see it through We could build it any time needed Any thing we do will just turn you on Turn you on If it's not easy When you come The wait for next time Off with you When it's not easy Near you And if we hold on To what we do We could make it See it through Come on let's hold on To what we drew A time has broke off It's nothing new Shoulders roll off Discreet in you

about

Recorded in 2005, these two singles were meant to be the first for The Mercies, for early '06 release. Immediately after the completion of the tracks, the band, excitedly went into recording a full length at drummer Jonny Stevens' home studio. So, these tracks were shelved, although mixed by Bill Racine at his Railroad Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. With the 10 year anniversary remaster of The Mercies full length, (and an additional EP of unreleased songs), this single is FINALLY being released as well, to celebrate this fun little band with big heart.
