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...

Jenny Lewis - The Next Messiah:



Lyrics:

Living in the meadow,
The mighty mighty meadow.
With too many people,
Sucking all the water.
Yeah my daddy was a farmer.
He was a race car driver.
He is a four leaf clover.
He is the next messiah.

Now he's living in the woods,
The dark and dank woods.
With a cocktail waitress,
Who thinks she's an artist.
Take her down to the river,
Split her right up the middle.
Now there's gonna be trouble,
For a pregnant lamb and a convent.

I sit in the clink,
Dye his hair in the sink.
And the tumor gonna make a
Man out of him.
Now my daddy was a chancer.
He was a bad check bouncer.
But if he had cancer,
He's a survivor.
He's the next messiah.

Covering it up,
Squeezing it out,
Watching it bleed.
You're watching it all,
Taking it back.
She's down on her knees.
When did she come to detest you?
Giving it back,
Backing you up,
Nothing's for free.
You're giving it back,
For locking you up,
Those terrible deeds.
When will they come to arrest you?
When did she come to detest you?

When will they come to arrest you?
When did she come to detest you?

I'm gonna give my love to you on a day you gotta bring it back.
I want to tell you I love you.

I want to tell you I love you.
I'm gonna go out walking baby, better be here when I get back.

I'm gonna give my love to you on a day you gotta bring it back.
I want to tell you I love you. 

He's the next messiah.

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

James Yuill - The Ghost:



Lyrics:

When will I see my children lying in my arms
And hear the sound of echoes echoing my charms
Go wait at the window,
Don't leave it until,
You see better days that are coming
You just have to wait

When will I see my children lying in my arms
I hear the sound of echoes echoing my charms
You stole emotion from the man who needs it most
You gave it to the space between us, that shall now be called the ghost

When will I tell you what is on my mind
Of how to love me and how I can be defined

When will I tell you what is on my mind
Of how to love me and how I can be defined
You stole emotion from the man who needs it most
You gave it to the space between us, that shall now be called the ghost



James Yuill - These Sweet Love: 




Lyrics:

Be the greatest man in history
The greatest man that you can be
Just be

Walk, walk out on the beach with me
Walk out in the sea with me
Just be

All of the time you show me your love
Sweet love
And oh, how you know
This sweet love

Nights, cold nights wrapped in ecstasy
Those times still perplexing be
They just be

All of the time you show me your love
Sweet love
And oh, how you know
This sweet love

All of the time you show me your love
Sweet love
And oh, how you know
This sweet love, this sweet love
This sweet love, this sweet love

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:

A strange arrangement of colours  
You found your feet where you put her 
I'm after you, you're after me  
The things that we say, the things that we see  
We've got to be reminded, Where did you go?  
And what did you see, when you were there?  
What did you leave? leave? leave? leave?
 
The light that is reflected  

The times that you rejected  
Your after me, I'm after you,  
The things that we say  
The things that we do  
We've got to be good looking Where did you go? 
And what did you see, When you were there?  
What did you leave? leave? leave? leave?
 
A lie that is rejected  

A time that we reflected  
I'm after you, you're after me  
The things that we say, the things that we see  
We've got to be reminded, Where did you go?  
And what did you see, when you were there?  
What did you leave? leave? leave? leave?

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

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
