Engineers - How Do You Say Goodbye

"how do you say goodbye
to an old friend
you don't want to know

how do you wave goodbye
to a new friend
when you don't want to leave

(chorus)

craving times ahead
keeps me hungry every day
with this bitter rush
i can slowly drift ahead
to deal in life instead
keeps me hung by your sole hand
with a single wish
i can slowly drift ahead

why do we trade fine lines
for a real truth
we don't want to know

why did we break our ties
with our old friends
when they don't want to grow

(chorus)

would you dare
would you dare fall flat on your face
get your answer approved
by the state
by the state of friends of that you knew
a friend who went through"

"Engineers are a British shoegaze band, composed of Simon Phipps (vocals/guitars), Mark Peters (vocals/guitars/bass), Dan MacBean (guitars/keyboards), and Andrew Sweeney (drums).[1]

Engineers formed in London in 2003. The band's sound is often described as a mixture of psychedelia, shoegazing and post-rock, though they themselves claim their influences range from The Cocteau Twins to Curtis Mayfield[citation needed]. Sweeney has remarked that "We've always said if more people started taking acid we'd clean up."

They were signed to the Echo record label, and the band recorded and released the Folly EP in September 2004. The EP featured the singles "Come in Out of the Rain" and "Forgiveness" (which the band would re-record for their debut album), as well as a cover of Tim Hardin's "If I Were a Carpenter." Their eponymous debut album followed in March 2005, preceded by the top 50 single "Forgiveness" in February. Later in 2005, they recorded a version of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren" for the 2005 tribute album Dream Brother: The Songs of Tim and Jeff Buckley."
