Robbers On High Street - The Fatalist + 2007 Tour Dates

Robbers On High Street is a trio from NYC. This one came hot off the emailbox from "The Barr". Hey Stephen, "Third time's the charm" indeed. I checked out their MySpace and clicked on the most popular song

I gotta say I was predisposed to like the song, what a great title. I am loving the guitars and vocals (yeah both! Nice for a change)

Robbers On High Street - The Fatalist Lyrics (credits)

I was down for the count
Down, never out, I was determined
But I couldn't catch a break
Always treading in the wake
like I was afraid of it

So I gave up the fight
Let me fall where I might
and maybe I'm set to win
I quit action, I quit plan
I shook that big, invisible hand
and welcomed the Fatalist

Give yourself into its vision
No more struggle, no decisions
Beyond your control so give in and let go
Enter the Fatalist

Oh we try so hard
Oh we try, try so hard to get out of this
What is behind it?
The omniscient it
Yes, Fatalist, Fatalist, Fatalist, the Fatalist

Give yourself into its vision
No more struggle, no decision
Beyond your control
Welcome the unknown
Yes, Fatalist

We got a stop in Aug, nice
