- Siamese Cities
Artist: Metric
Album: Static Anonymity EP (2001)
Lyrics
I said, I'm sorry to change my mind
It was a little bit cold that night
I was dreading the ride back to little Italy
And needing to hide out from my mind
When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like Red Roses
Every day breaks bitter river, was a flood
Why do you leave me in-between Siamese cities
I saw the sky and you, what do you see in me
This Rubbermaids had better days
Shaken out, static anonymity
Vanity, don't let war die down
When you take, you turn me over
From the street, rock radio plays crimson and clover
Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why do you leave me in-between Siamese cities?
When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like red roses
Every day breaks, bitter river was flood
Whyd you leave me?
Whyd you leave me?
Whyd you leave me in-between Siamese cities?
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
She is shaken out static anonymity
She is shaken out static anonymity
She is shaken (temporarily)
She is shaken (temporarily)
She is shaken out, static anonymity
She is shaken out, static anonymity

wish this ep would get on spotify already.
4 years later. I'm listening on my recommended on spotify.
love her old songs new 😊
My wish too
I WANT THEM ON SPOTIFY
Probably not going to happen. It only had a very small physical release, and has never had an official online release. They're basically acting like it doesn't exist.
This song is still relevant and I wish I could find it on Spotify
Still not on Apple either- makes me so sad, my songs feel incomplete without it 🥲
my lord get a digital copy. cant rely on streaming services.
my favorite metric song of all time, i wish you could find it on spotify.
there's nothing more exhilarating than finding a new song by your favorite band.
I posted "when you walk, you move like Moses" ten years ago today on Facebook and I had no idea what it was from. So glad I just looked it up. Officially back on the metric train.
Had to pause when this started playing. I'm not yet ready for how awesome this is.
When I think I have heard it all, a wander into a new metric song and fall in love again
Best band from Canada since RUSH!!!! From a 55 year old Trance/House fan!!!
wish Spotify had this EP
This sounds great but the EP version sounds faster and better! I wish there was a full release in the future
There's also nothing more exhilarating than finding a new song by a band you've never heard before! These guys are great!
Do you still like metric?
What an awesome day, another song by metric that I've yet to have heard.
Exactly! Same thing 4 years later :)
Same thing 9 years later!!
My three favourite songs by Metric:
1. Calculation Theme
2. Siamese Cities
3. Waves
Wow, you really go for the obscure stuff. I love Old World Underground, but I gotta say The Twist is my all time favorite.
@@existentialistremnant6231 Thanks. Yeah the Twist is pretty damn good too, and Raw Sugar.
@@psychicbyinternet Such a creative, incredible band
Your comment took me back in time, wow! Doing good, bud?
@@ingrid_inthesky Lol, doing so-so. You?
I wish this EP was available literally anywhere officially. I can't even find it on eBay. What I wouldn't give to get my hands on it someday…
i want to marry this song
Reminds me of some of the old Cardigans stuff; like from Emmerdale and Life.
Very good music!
That’s such a good observation
One of my faves from Metric Ⓜ️⚡
Beautiful poetry jam packed into these lyrics
amazing song
Holy shit this is my new favourite metric song
This is the demo. The percussion sounds much more organic on the actual EP version.
metric is awesome! they should be played on the radio more often.
0 dislikes! These are some smart people!
A beautiful composition.
I hate Metric. Every time you think you've heard their best material, they floor you yet again.
good one lol. I was boutta say-
Bad one. Why dont you just listen to all their music? too busy? Insulting.
@@Bassario Why would you listen to it all instantly? Huge Metric fan for years, and I've saved some tracks. Makes a nice little surprise from time to time. You never get that first exposure again.
I love love love love love Emily!!
this is the hardest song ever made
sha la la la
this is a bit of a trademark in her songs. even in her solo work she "sha la las"
one really brutal shalala is in the last page
Why are we talking about being 16 and going to a show? Go to the Frontrow and say this, that's what it's there for. These comments should be about how amazing the Static Anonymity EP is, and how brilliant song this is.
beautiful song
top 10 song
So chill...
My favourite song by them
G O D O !!!!! SPETTACOLO......
You did more with your voice back in Siam! Love this song.
if you put the song on repeat, the end flows perfectly into the begininng :0
Why do you leave me between limewire and live sale CDs
Jk I pay for this beauty
nice sound love it -3
this song is so effing good.
i love metric. :) :)
This is great. They gotta rerelease this.
They really should!
I wish they would. I don't understand why they don't.
Aw, you know, chillin... thinking about stuff...like how tomorrow will the first day of school I've had in two and a half weeks. Well, of course, listening to Metric goes without saying.
I think i found a new band to listen to :) yay!
loved this song for years
emily haines♥
Very pretty =]
I soooooo wish they would come to Costa Rica, but it seems so unlikely. :(
"From the street, rock radio plays crimson and clover"
Jimmy eat World reference? from A Praise Chorus
"crimson and clover, over and over"
Ben Fernandez crimson and clover is the name of a song from the 70s
Fantasies is pretty damned epic. >u>
I want this Ep so bad, but its so expensive :(
+myjungleismassive1 convert the youtube to mp3 for free. just google it. sadly it doesnt support metric but its better than never getting it
@Karlene7 i concur.
1.) Cut in half and double
2.) Knives don't have your back (Emily's solo album) With soft skeleton
3.) Grow up and Blow away
4.) Live it out
5.) Fantasies
6.) Synthetica
I think I just named every album from emily haines and Metric as a band, Although there are other songs emily does solo you can find on youtube, That aren't listed in Knives don't have your back, They are great too.
I just gave you 10 more years of music to listen in ecstacy
Your welcome :>
Tanner Hockey old world underground
What album is this song from?
Everyday breaks y'all
Hahahaha. I've been spotted!!
I'm going to go ahead and say I have no idea what you are talking about and who this Ariel person is, and I don't know who you are. But.....you're right, Alex, Static Anonymity is friggin' fantastic. :D
Why is this song so hard to find? I love it but can’t download it anywhere!
@BCoy2Pacman Hmm. Didn't think of Ottawa: interesting... Oh, Wait, "was dreading the ride back to Little Italy". Ok, that's [rpbablt Manhatten and Brooklyn. Their 'lifeblood' (the bridges and tunnels) are interconnected so it makes sense on a couple of levels.
Fanfiction brought me here! :3
Wow, that reply of mine sounded dull. I will make it happy.
Yay:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you turn me overrrrr
Please someone tell me how I can obtain this ep.
Grateful Metric Fan
@LilxPipi this must be a record
Do you think she's talking about Kitchener-Waterloo - the twin cities? But they're probably not exciting enough. Maybe she's singing about London and Tokyo. Or Tokyo and NYC. They all seem similar.
hope you had fun ´:)
NO DISLIKES THATS WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT!!!! i've never seen no dislikes before but on this i expect no dislikes
you missed Old world Underground, where Are You Now? in between grow up and blow away and live it out.
Fuck yeah dude.All their shit is amazing.
wow thanks solidgoldivan lisng songs fantastic new this happened.
i love this song
where did you get it?
2:11 I jizzed in my pants.
@RADnItO LOL. Sounds like fun. Wasn't the reponse I was expecting, but much funnier.
a new song where is it
No; I'm not being bitter. I wish youtube comments could carry the tone of my voice. I'm actually just encouraging you to go to the Frontrow. =D There are only like 400 members. I'm glad you're 16 and been and fan for a while, I think it's cute. I send you much love for your interest in good music.
@RADnItO Hi Rad, What makes you think the song is about Valley East and Sudbury. Cheers.
Is this on Spotify? :(

proof of what?
This is the last place I expected to find Homestuck, but ok. I'll toss a like in your direction anyway.
Now all of my replies seem too happy. Dang it. Just can't win.
(now they're even)
emily looks better with out makeup
just stating my opinion man, calm down
To much muthafuck(eye)n (eye)nformat(eye)n
Heard of homestuck? some characters have th(eye)s th(eye)ng called a Qu(eye)rk, an add(eye)t(eye)on to typed speech The whole eye th(eye)ng (eye)s my qu(eye)rk due to a damaged eye 0W- Not a pun,
