lyrics

The king of cold comfort, friend
Your constant companion
Will cancel all your plans
For the crisis out of hand

Undercover, friend
Invisible hand
Will lay the facts bare
Your best laid plans

A force of nature, friend
Read in the papers
Jump off the page
A statement made plain

The king of cold comfort

But time is on my side
If the bell don’t ring
You can spread your wings
Get carried by the wind and say goodbye

To the king of cold comfort

It's no wonder, friend
Invincible man
Stakes a claim again
To your best laid plans

Trace it backwards, friend
We'll give you a hand
We’re all concerned
Bridges have been burned
It's cold comfort

But time is on my side
If the bell don’t ring
You can spread your wings
Get carried by the wind and say goodbye

Truth is in the jest buts its best you don't know
Phoney friends will tell you, but it don’t hit home
If it only rolled off the silver tongue, it wouldn't take much to play along

Fools they
Need sugar on the spoon to
Sip their medicine
If it only rolled off the silver tongue, it wouldn't take much to play along
If it only tasted on the tongue, it wouldn't take much to drink it all

No Guitar
by Curling

Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023

Little Piece of Hair
by Century Egg

supported by 5 fans who also own “King Of Cold Comfort”

Modern rock is so "serious" (political, failed relationships, etc.) we've forgotten to have fun. I love being able to sing along to "Do You Want to Dance" and "Ring a Bell". torrapicus
