John Grant

John Grant - Chicken Bones:



Lyrics:

When I got out of my bed this morning
I noticed that it didn't have a right side
And my head feels like it's filled to the top
With pop and rocks and cyanide

There's an earthquake coming and you think you know
Where it started, but it started very long ago
I need a mongoose baby, and some calgon to take me up outta here

Some days just chicken bones
You'd better fuck off now, you'd better leave me alone
Cos I'm about to explode, just like a wonderbread bomb
And I don't care what I know, because I can't be wrong
Some days just chicken bones
You'd better fuck off now, you'd better leave me alone
Cos I'm about to explode, just like a wonderbread bomb
And I don't care what I know, because I can't be wrong

Yes I know why you need it, cos your car broke down
And you wanna take the next bus outta this town
But if anybody's getting on the bus, dog, it's gonna be me

I know I don't need what you've got for me
Baby I do feel ready for me
You'd better watch out sugar, cos I'm about to get my old spice on

Some days just chicken bones
You'd better fuck off now, you'd better leave me alone
Cos I'm about to explode, just like a wonderbread bomb
And I don't care what I know, because I can't be wrong
Some days just chicken bones
I'm all jacked up on DC at my place alone
And I don't care what you think about my attitude
Because I can't be bothered with the likes of you

Some days just chicken bones
You'd better fuck off now, you'd better leave me alone
Cos I'm about to explode, just like a wonderbread bomb
And I don't care what I know, because I can't be wrong
Some days just chicken bones
I'm all jacked up on DC at my place alone
And I don't care what you think about my attitude
Because I can't be bothered with the likes of you



John Grant - Marz:



Lyrics:

Bittersweet strawberry, marshmallow, butterscotch
Polar bear, cashew, dixieland, phosphate, chocolate
Lime, tutti frutti, special raspberry, leave it to me
Three grace, scotch lassie, cherry smash, lemon freeze

I wanna go to Marz
Where green rivers flow
And your sweet sixteen is waiting for you after the show
I wanna go to Marz
You'll meet the Gold Dust Twins tonight
You'll get your heart's desire, I will meet you under the lights

Golden champagne, juicy grapefruit, lucky Monday
High-school football, hot fudge, buffalo, tulip sundae
Almond caramel frappé, pineapple, root beer
Black and white, Big apple, Henry Ford, sweet heart, maple tear

I wanna go to Marz
Where green rivers flow
And your sweet sixteen is waiting for you after the show
I wanna go to Marz
You'll meet the Gold Dust Twins tonight
You'll get your heart's desire, I will meet you under the lights...

Jane Vain & The Dark  Matter - We Are See Through: 


Jane Vain & The Dark  Matter - C'mon Baby Say Bang Bang: 




Lyrics:

All the pretty boys and girls are out breaking my heart
They all look so cool I can hardly tell them apart
They're all looking for a little bit of love power and control
But that's all right 
Because tonight our heads are going to rock and roll

Let's stay up all night and figure
Whose guns are bigger
You can put yours right between my eyes honey
If you promise to pull the trigger

We're all so damn enlightened
We're so self aware
We're all looking at each other
But when we notice
We pretend that we don't care
And no matter how much we had
We always wanted more
And that's all right because tonight our heads are going to hit the floor

Let's stay up all night and figure
Whose guns are bigger
You can put yours right between my eyes honey
If you promise to pull the trigger

It was a glitter glamourama party of lies
But all that human drama, well it was burning my eyes
And everyone so seriously
Danced together
And the reflections
From their diamond encrusted gold plated guns
Enhanced the greens and the blues in their peacock feathers

And they looked so beautiful
So red faced and forgetful
And no matter how hard they tried to take the moment in they couldn't

We've got the bottles for the buyers
And the suckers for the liars
All this heat is causing fires
We're a bunch of real live wires
We're real live wires

Let's stay up all night and figure
Whose guns are bigger
You can put yours right between my eyes honey
If you promise to pull the trigger

Iron & Wine

Iron & Wine - Free Until They Cut Me Down:



Lyrics:

In our days, we will live 
Like our ghosts will live 
Pitching glass at the cornfield crows and folding clothes
Like stubborn boys across the road 
We'll keep everything
Grandma's gun and the black bear claw that took her dog
And when sister
Lowery says Amen, we won't hear anything
The ten-car train will take that word, that fledgling bird
And the fallen house across the way It'll keep everything 
The baby's breath, our bravery wasted and our shame


And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire
All the more pair of under water pearls
Than the oak tree and its ressurection fern


In our days we will say what our ghosts will say 
We gave the world what we saw fit and what'd we get
Like stubborn boys with big green eyes 
We'll see everything 
In the timid shade of the autumn leaves and the buzzards wings


And we'll undress by the ashes of the fire
Our tender bellies are wound around in baling wire 
All the more pair of under water pearls
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern



Iron & Wine - Resurrection Fern:



Lyrics:

When the men take me to the devil tree
I will be free and shining like before
Papa don't tell me what I should've done
She's the one who begged me
"Take me home"

When the wind wraps me like the reaper's hand
I will swing free until they cut me down
Papa don't tell me what I could've done
She's the one who begged me
"Take me home"

When the sea takes me like my mother's arms
I will breathe free as any word of God
Papa don't tell me what you would've done
She's the one who begged me
"Take me home"

Iron & Wine

Iron & Wine - Sunset Soon Forgotten:



Lyrics:

Be this sunset soon forgotten
Your brothers left here shaved and crazy
We've learned to hide our bottles in the well
And what's worth keeping, sun still sinking
Down and down
Once again
Down and down
Gone again

Be this sunset one for keeping
This june bug street sings low and lovely
Those band-aid children
Chased your dog away
She runs, returning, sun still sinking
Down and down
Once again
Down and down
Gone again

Lyrics:

I don't know much, but I know you
You are the kind of magic always breaks my heart in two
The house all trashed, the wine uncorked
Maybe I should call you when I get back from New York
The barlife strays along your street
Poor girl's got a cough and that man's checking out my feet
They look for signs and they make plans
To forge for the better good of all those children in their hands hands hands hands

Home on the range, who knew life could be so strange
All boils down to a risk of change
Pick up the pieces of your life and rearrange
All boils down to a risk of change
Change

The midnight shoppers stretch for miles
Bundled up all coffee cups and cigarettes and smiles
I search the stars across your chart
Through the constellation of your hands, your head, your heart
This city's tiring out my feet
Penny rolls a joint, and all the men who pass smell sweet
Oh penny I can't win this race
Boy you are like Jeff and you must walk to that dark place place place place

Home on the range, who knew life could be so strange
All boils down to a risk of change
Pick up the pieces of your life and rearrange
All boils down to a risk of change
Your pretty eyes cut like the devil through my brain
They're so smooth, so sharp, so strange
Pick up the pieces of your life and rearrange
All boils down to a risk of change
Change

I think I'll sleep alone tonight
Cuz babe we both know I could never love you right
The house all trashed, the wine uncorked
Maybe I should call you when I get back from New York
You've got your barbs, you've got your stones
Pool them in your pockets with the ox meat and the bones
I've got my bags, I'm on my way
Cruising like a bandit 'neath the dark Northwestern day
I don't know much, but I know you
You are the kind of magic always breaks my heart in two
I've got my wings, I'm on my way
Cruising and communing with the vine to meet the Saints
The river sleeps alone tonight
Tucked around those cities that will never treat her right
I've got my wings, I'm on my way
To cruise and commune with the vine and the spirits and the Saints
Saints, Yajé, Yajé, yes

Home on the range, who knew life could be so strange
All boils down to a risk of change
Pick up the pieces of your life and rearrange
All boils down to a risk of change
Your pretty eyes cut like the jewels on your pretty frame
And you're pretty hot, and you're pretty cool and you're pretty strange
Pick up the pieces of my life and rearrange it
All boils down, it all boils down
To a risk of change

Hey Rosetta! - Tired Eyes:

Lyrics:

I raised my head from the riverbed and I tasted the air
I built my home of oak and stone and I feasted on the animals and earth
I raised my kids in modern beds and I taught them to take what's theirs
I built this town on god and doubt and science (an economy of fear)
I drained the pond and the woods beyond for dinner, and the river for a song
The more I've got the more I want. I'm blinded but I'm waking up!

Tired eyes, open wide
Blossom iris into lily white
Tired eyes, open wide
Salty brine, bluest sky
Tired eyes, open wide
Either side, all these veins of light!

Here We Go Magic

Here We Go Magic - How Do I Know:



Lyrics:

How do I know if I love you?
When I sure like your bread
The way that you tucker and straighten your bed
But how do I know if I love you?

How do I know if I know you?
When you come out clean from the shower
You squeak to the touch and you smell like a flower
How do I know if I know you?

Some men die in a fall
Not trusting their nose to show them the way
Some men die in a fall
The sun ain't no keeper in the pit of that day

How do I know if I love you?
When all these things come and go?
You can't stand them together in some neat little row
So how do I know, how do I know, how do I know?

How do I know if I know you?
When the light in your house isn't on?
I thought I heard movement but maybe I'm wrong
So how do I know if I know you?

How do I know if I love you?
When you've drawn the imaginary line
The way that you walk in two steps behind
How do I know if I love you?

(How do I know, how do I know, how do I know?...)

Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Young Girls & Happy Endings: 



Lyrics:

You know young girls like happy endings
Well I guess that's the way it's got to be
'cos without all these happy endings
what would happen to my industry ? 

(You know that you)
You know I wrote this shit to sell ya, sell ya,
(You know that I)
You know I never mean a word I tell 'ya
(You know that we)
You know I wrote this hit to sell ya, sell ya,
(You know that I)
You know I never mean a word I tell 'ya

Ivory towers wrapped round in silk
A young calf with his mother's milk
Victorian England shining so bright
Two lovers kissing in the moonlight

(You know that you)
You know I wrote that hit to sell ya, sell ya,
(You know that I)
You know I never mean a word I tell 'ya
(You know that we)
You know I wrote this shit to sell ya, sell ya,
(You know that I)
You know I never mean a word I tell 'ya

And the feeling's stronger
The reason's longer, oo...

You know young girls like happy endings
Well I guess that's the way it's got to be
'cos without all these happy endings
what would happen to my industry




Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Diamond Dew:




Lyrics:

Awake, awake to love and work, luck is in the sky
Fields are wet, diamond dew, worlds awake to cry
Child comes home, home from school, singing merrily
Room is warm, organ plays, house by the sea

And we'll think it all again so lets
Keep the fire burning, and take in all the sights
Like the encovering of the bodies as the giant sun soars up
Oo, and we'll think it all again

Awake, awake to love and work, luck is in the sky
Fields are wet, diamond dew, worlds awake to cry
Child comes home, home from school, singing merrily
Love is warm, organ plays, house by the sea

And we'll think it all again so lets
Keep the fire burning, and take in all the sights
Like the encovering of the bodies as the giant sun soars up

Well there's evil in his eyes, as the child disobeys
And they play the sport at lunchtime as the giant sun soars up
Oo, and we'll think it all again

Lyrics:

All the vegetation in the settled world is stirring
I’m blurring into sun-burnt and heartbroken worrying
About how the day took such a long time to die
When it was reeking of women I once had on my side
But now that I’ve found another smell to believe in
I’m buzzing like hell just to hope I can breathe it
And resurrect the simplistic calm in some eyes
That are trying to find you or
Bury your nightmind
And it will take
Time

Oh your tongue and the twilight marina
When so young and brave and still dreaming
Getting to know you lash by dark lash
The rooms where you sleep in
The floors where you crash
And gas-stations are pleasantly blowing
Thunder rolls for dresses you’re wearing
On a body so unknowing
Of what that blowing’s for or preparing
And patience is never affording
When prettiness and sweetness are pouring
Out from you and
Onto me and
Dampness of sweat is the sweetest recording
And you can lay with your head on my body
The worlds of the night and disease try to rob me
All the vegetation in the settled world is stirring
But stillness and calmness are all that I’m hearing
Now
And it will take
Time

Fossil Collective - Let It Go:

Lyrics:

I'm on the inside everybody knows what you will say
Leaves on the ground, already came
We were an island, you were the one who broke away
I was a mess before you came

We started something, tried to make a fire without a flame
Why it wasn't right I couldn't say
There's a light in the sky and it's coming up high
And why did I ever go - the longest night I've ever known

Only when the moon is high enough
Only when the stars are lining up

Let it go - now is not the answer
How can anybody else have known
Let it Go - now is not the answer
Call me when you see the sun lie low

You were the ocean - I was drawn into you
But you can't always get where you are going to
Where are we going ... where are we going
There are mountains to climb so let me carry you

Death Cab For Cutie - Doors Unlocked And Open:





Lyrics:

Isolations, dotted lines
Seas of concrete, wild eyes
Streaking colors, blurred to one
Always moving, blinding sun
Blinding sun
Coldest comfort, safety glass
Seasons turning, dying grass
California, gilded crowns
Idle workers, counting down

Somewhere down, down
Down in the ocean of sound, sound
We'll live in slow-motion
And be free
With doors unlocked and open
Doors unlocked and open

Isolation
Isolation
California, gilded crowns
Idle workers, counting down

Somewhere down, down
Down in the ocean of sound, sound
We'll live in slow-motion
And be free
With doors unlocked and open
Doors unlocked and open

Somewhere down, down
Down in the ocean of sound, sound
We'll live in slow-motion
And be free
With doors unlocked and open
Doors unlocked and open
Doors unlocked and open

Somewhere down, down
Down in the ocean of sound, sound
We'll live in slow-motion
And be free
With doors unlocked and open
Doors unlocked and open

Somewhere down

Doors unlocked and open
Doors unlocked and open
Doors unlocked and open

David Wax Museum - Born With A Broken Heart:




Lyrics:

I was born a broken-hearted boy
Give or take an ounce 

And the world wouldn´t give me a break
Waiting, ready to pounce 

I was born with a broken heart
With a broken heart, sure was broken in two 

If you´re out wandering the streets
Knock on my window it´ll open 

My bed is small, but so are we
Let love lay us low -- here´s to hoping 

You were born with a broken heart
With a broken heart, sure was broken in two 

Sometimes we get so confused
We get taken for a ride
We get worked over
Some of us come with new hearts
Most of us come with used hearts
Baby, why do you look so sad? 

There are men who will stand accused
But they won´t be told the why 

They were strong so were beaten down
But the stars look gold through blackened eyes 

They were born with a broken heart
With a broken heart, sure was broken in two 

Were you born with a broken heart
With a broken heart, sure was broken in two?

Dark Dark Dark - Ashes: 




Lyrics:

On that evening
No later than nine
You called out for me
And heard no reply
You found me under the willow tree
Cut me down and tried to catch me
But I fell into the river deep
Ain't nothing more to do 
But just let things be

I know you want to scatter my ashes
I know you want to scatter them far and wide
Don't scatter my ashes
I want to walk by the seaside

My lonely body washed ashore
Red ring around my leg shows I can't take it no more
Don't ask no one my soul to keep
Ain't nothing more to do but just let things be

I know you want to scatter my ashes
I know you want to scatter them far and wide
Don't scatter my ashes
I want to walk by the seaside

And you might cover me with 
Sand and empty rocks
That might mean if you must
She won't wake up words
That come to rest, for you are still breathing
You...

You might get second thoughts 
And want to throw me to the sky
That's okay, people you're wrong
'Cause you know that what's left of me 
Is already gone
Is already gone
Its already gone...

I know you want to scatter my ashes
I know you want to scatter them far and wite
Don't scatter my ashes
I want to walk by the seaside

Lyrics:

You always cared for me
That was easy enough to see
You always cared for me
And I pushed you in the dark
And I wanted to tell you
I wanted to tell you
But I lie, I lie
Oh, I lie, I lie

I hurt myself,
I hurt myself,
Nearly as much as I hurt you.
And I wanted to tell you,
I wanted to tell you
But my bright, my bright 
Oh my bright, my bright 
Oh, my bright

Oh you the sweetest one,
You the brightest one.,
You the sweetest one,

You the sweetest one,
You the brightest one .

I wanted to ask you,
But my bright..
And I wanted to ask you,
I wanted to ask you,
But my bright
Oh my bright,
Oh my bright ,

Dark Dark Dark - Daydreaming:




Lyrics:

Think of a place I would go,
I’m daydreamin’,
Where the sycamore grow,
I’m daydreamin’,
And oh if you knew what it meant to me,
Where the air was so clear,
Oh if you knew what it meant to me,
Anywhere but here.

Oh now look to the east,
Great mountains remember me,
Oh I wound around you for miles,
I sat down right there and stretched my bones.
And oh if you knew what it meant to me,
Oh if you knew what it meant to me,
Oh if you knew what it meant to me,
You would see, too.

Oh the unspeakable things,
It’s land I can see for miles,
With only the wind whispering,
Land I can see for miles,
With only the wind whispering,
Oh land I can see for miles,
With only the wind whispering,
Oh I’d run as fast as I can
Land I can see for miles
Oh I’m searching,
With only the wind whispering,
Oh if you knew what it meant to me,
Oh if you knew what it meant to me,
Oh if you knew what it meant to me,
You would see, too.

Oh the unspeakable things,
Oh the unspeakable things,
Oh the unspeakable things,
Oh the unspeakable things.

Dark Dark Dark

Dark Dark Dark - A Cloud Story:




Lyrics:

Let me tell you of a dream I had
Sleeping one late summer's night
I couldn't believe what I was seeing
From where I lay inside

When I awoke from my slumber
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I awoke from my sleep
The clouds had fallen from the sky (x2)

As if whales had gone from the sea
It seemed the clouds pulled from the sky
And laid upon the beach so breathlessly
And patiently waited to die

Now the air, it sticks
The air, it sweats
The air, it blocks all the by
The air looks like it did in my dreams
As I laid in bed that night (x2)

As if whales had gone from the sea
It seemed the clouds had pulled from the sky
And laid upon the beach so breathlessly
And patiently waited to die

Everyone's asking around
About the beautiful world they knew
Me, I just look to the ground
And the clouds cover my shoe

When I awoke from my slumber
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I awoke from my sleep
The clouds had fallen from the sky (x2)

Dana Buoy - Call To Be:

Lyrics:

Surprising you and others,
we elevate. We lift. We conquer.
Letting you discover, what a promise kept can offer.
Keep in touch uncover ideas left to drown no longer.
Hold your breath go under.
Rise again in loving waters.

Oh oh I, this is just a call to be true to you.
Oh oh I, flying high we fly so close, so bright, so wild.

Heating up it bubbles.
Steaming out our previous mantras.
Leaving lost our troubles,
Communicate the wish diminishing.
This goes out to lovers
Standing up embraced enamored.
Keeping feet square under looking back and forth to wonder....

Oh oh I, this is just a call to be true to you.
Oh oh I, flying high we fly so close, so bright, so wild.

Surprising you and others,
We penetrate. We lift. We conquer.
Letting you discover, a promise kept make trust these offers. Keep in touch uncover.
Ideas found they drown no longer.
Hold your breath go under. Rise again in loving waters.

Lyrics:

Too cold too cold
Drop below at night
We still go out side
We still go out side
Too cold too cold
We will not relax
Relaxing's just another way for saying you're getting old

You're getting old
You're getting old

This city shuts down
Yes, everybody's still hanging around
Still not warm, too cold, too cold
Still refuse our home, still refuse our home
Relaxing's just another way for saying you're getting old

Old, old
You're getting old, old
You're getting old, old
You're getting old
You're getting old

This city shuts down
Yes, everybody's still hanging around
Still not warm, still not warm
Still refuse our home

Old, old
We're getting old, old
You're getting old, old
We're getting old
We're getting old
We're getting old, old
You're getting old
You're getting old
You're getting old


It's cold, too cold
It's cold, too cold
It's cold, too cold

And we still go outside

Cocoon - Sushi:



Lyrics:

In the morning I'll go down to the graveyard
To make sure you're gone for good
To make sure you won't hurt again
May you rest in peace

Pony riding, sushi cooking
May you be where you wanted
Oh, we talked about it
After one or two beers

And the worst days that life brings
All the bad movies and all the earthquakes
All the worst days are just buried into the snow

Holy water, plastic flowers
At the end you got what you were
Always running after, always running after

And the worst days that life brings
All the bad movies and all the earthquakes
All the worst days are just buried into the snow

By the meeting of the roads
I just fell to my knees
When I knew I had to make a choice
It's a shame you said
That I may never know
How far I can sometimes go
How far I can sometimes go

Refrain :
While my boat is drifting away
By the shore of Miami Bay
I'm still trying to figure out
The end of what I was starting to say

And you found all the footprints
That I left in the lawn
When I spied on you every night
And I wish there was a secret
That you said in your sleep
Just a word that I could keep
Just a word that I could keep

Refrain

And I wish I was a comet to crash on your field
Just to be remembered
And I wish I was a comet to crash at your feet
Just to be remembered

In your old car
We have lost our way

Hello, hello

Eating your Chupa Chup
A plane is making a loop
The beavers are so cute !
A tree gave me a fruit

Hello, hello

Nous sommes allés à la campagne
Dans ta vieille voiture
Nous avons tant de fois
Perdu notre chemin.

Salut, salut
Je t'emmène en voyage
Salut, salut
Je t'emmène en voyage

Pendant que tu manges ta Chupa Chup
Un avion fait un looping
Les castors sont si mignons
Un arbre m'a donné un fruit

Salut, salut,
Je t'emmène en voyage
Salut, salut
Je t'emmène en voyage
