about

"The Nice Guy" was recorded mostly on Protection Island BC by David Essig in July of 2009. The tambourine and vocal doubling was recorded in London, Ontario by Andy Magoffin at the House Of Miracles in February of 2010. The idea for the groove of this track was by Jedd House. The "Nice Guy" shall remain nameless.

lyrics

It could have been the geography
Some flaw in the technology
It could have been anything else but you trying to make a fool out of me
Stop shining lights in my direction
I get high on blind affection
It's a breeze that so seldom lifts my wings

They say there's no fury like a woman scored
So I'm telling you now so that you've been warned
There's more sorrow in a woman accidentally swooned
You picked the wrong girl to be so nice to

Intuition is hard not to trust
Imagination can be dangerous
With the night so dark we'd never know what's ahead of us
Thought I was easier to see through
I haven't got a lot to hold on to
With the light of my eyes you can read my cards
I can gamble with a chance of winning
Just wish you would have told me from the beginning
That the deck you were dealing
Was missing all the hearts

Chorus
Bridge -
You were looking for a friend in me
And you'll get one eventually
Gold like yours ain't so easily found
Hey you were nice enough
To let me down

So while I'm sitting here deconstructing
Wondering if I should say something
But I'm too sunk down even to say goodbye
With your fire burning back at home
So many walking wounded out here on the road
Maybe you shouldn't be such
A Nice Guy
