The LA pop duo known by the moniker Capital Cities played a live performance as guests at the JBTV studio. Singer and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Merchant and vocalist and keyboardist Sebu Simonian met on Craigslist 2008 when both of them at the time were jingle writers and they began working together to make a few singles and EPs. The song that really launched their careers was “Safe and Sound” which has been featured on a number of national commercials and has been a hit on the radio. After that song was heard by virtually everyone who has a TV, radio, or computer, Capital Cities continued their musical work to release their full length debut album In A Tidal Wave Of Mystery [Capitol] in 2013 that featured the song “Kangaroo Court”. Their live performance of the song can be seen right here on JBTV.
Lyrics:
There’s a dark part of town where the girls get down
And I cannot wait for a chance to go
Wait for a chance to go
I got my bad luck shoes and every excuse to dance these blues away
Ain’t coming home
I ain’t coming home
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up, it’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up, it’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
In a dusty room I come to assume
That I’ve been doomed to lose my mind tonight
Too weak to fight
So I tried to save face then I rest my case
The judge pulls me aside says c’est la vie
Let your darker side come out to feed
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up, it’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up, it’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
All rise
I can’t do sexy
I commit the crime of wasting time
Always trying to rhyme, yes I am guilty
But don’t misunderstand me
I admit defeat, then I move my feet
My history will never be repeated
I won’t ever be repeated
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up, it’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up, it’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up, it’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up, it’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
