about

'Your Time Doesn’t Exist' lays the entire Elk City story plain: It’s got a solid VU groove that reveals the band’s North Jersey roots and lineage with The Feelies, Yo La Tengo (with whom they share a former label, Bar/None) and Luna (with whom they share a guitarist). And it asks the old New Jersey question once more, but this time with elegance and elocution: Have you got a problem with that?

lyrics

LYRICS:

Time is just a construct
Time is never ending, full of love
As it flows
Flower blooming slowly like a conscientious friend
Time is just a construct in the end
When it’s getting noisy and I need some silence
Time is just a construct in the end
Skipping over water and we feel it splashing
I know
I know
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
When we’re getting older and we need encouragement
Time is just a construct in the end
Skipping over water
Let’s let go and jump in
Time is just a construct in the end
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
