about

This stands as the only "cover song" SouthFM ever professionally recorded in a studio. Smoking Umbrellas is a song by the band Failure, from their album Fantastic Planet (released in 1996). Written by Ken Andrews and Greg Edwards, our version was intended to be included on a tribute album for the band, but delays in the project ended up stalling it and our contribution never got included. It was recorded and mixed in one session at Indian Trail Studios in Krum, TX and produced by Alex Gerst. Exact date of the recording is unknown but it would have been well after the release of Swallowing The Pill, likely sometime in late 2005.

lyrics

Woke in my warm bed
Just in time for all the brilliant red lights
They were streaming through my half shuttered windows
Christmas lights in time with my stuttered brain waves

The door knob was glowing
All my photographs were rippled and melting
Through the walls I could hear panicked voices
They seemed to say, go back to bed there's no choices
And nowhere not burned out

The fireman calls out, we've got another smoking
Umbrella left in the hallway
And the fireman calls out, we've got another smoking
Umbrella left here

I gave no answer
To all their shouted questions, just lay back choking
Didn't want to stay but my bed was on fire
Instead of screaming, I fell back into dreamland
Blinking and sighing

The fireman calls out, we've got another smoking
Umbrella left in the hallway
And the fireman calls out, we've got another smoking
Umbrella left here

I don't wanna leave [Incomprehensible]
I never believed in what happened to [Incomprehensible]

The fireman calls out, we've got another smoking
Umbrella left in the hallway
And the fireman calls out, we've got another smoking
Umbrella left, yeah

(Words and Music by Ken Andrews and Greg Edwards)
