Jenny Lewis

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.

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

David Wax Museum

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?

David Wax Museum - Yes, Maria, Yes:




Lyrics:

Your broken taillight eyes
I get too near
Oh, time runs counter-clockwise
In your rearview mirror 

Yes, Maria, yes
No, Maria, no
Your careless heart
Invites me in just to see me go 

You invite me into your kitchen
For huitlacoche and armadillo
I talk talk talk you don’t listen
You’ve had your fill 

Yes, Maria, yes
No, Maria, no
Your careless heart
Invites me in just to see me go 

To you love’s as light as froth
You skim the top
Just an afternoon’s afterthought
All you can feel are its aftershocks 

Yes, Maria, yes
No, Maria, no
Your careless heart
Invites me in just to see me go 

You spread your kisses out
Just like a blanket
Your mouth is a water foundation
Tell me who will wedding cake it? 

Yes, Maria, yes
No, Maria, no
Your careless heart
Invites me in just to see me go

Slim Cessna's Auto Club - Port Authority Band:

Lyrics:

We came in from Old Tehran
Landed on Ellis Island
And we were greeted by this
Worn and weary
One man band

And his bassoon
Was out of tune
And his bass drum thumped out of tune
We thought their kindness was o' so grand
To greet us with this port authority band

I came here on holiday (It's a Port Authority)
Then they sent us on our way (Meet the Port Authority)
They pushed us off Ellis Island (it's in(?) their authority)
Blaming all our problems
Blame it on the Port Authority Band

They sent us to the doc's exam
The doc's a member in a one man band
He said we look skinny and sick
But we are just built like this
And he proclaimed that we had to leave
And he was flexing his authority
They pushed us back out into the bay
By intense drum(?) as they say

I came here on holiday (it's a port authority)
Then they sent us on our way (meet the port authority)
They pushed us off Ellis Island (flexin' their authority)
Blaming all our problems
Blame it on the Port Authority Band

We went back to Old Tehran
And started up our own port band
But our dock sat in the desert plain
So no one, hell, no one ever came
Salute our country with our tears
Not even Moses will ever wander here
Our anchor does not weigh
This port, this port carries no authority

I came here on holiday (It's a Port Authority)
Then they sent us on our way (meet the Port Authority)
They pushed us off Ellis Island (flexin' their authority)
Blaming all our problems (blame it on authority)
I came here on holiday (it's a Port Authority)
Then they sent us on our way (meet the port authority)
They pushed us off Ellis Island (flexin' their authority)
Blaming all our problems

Blame it on the Port Authority Band

Benjy Ferree - Leaving The Nest (It's A Long Way Down):




Lyrics:

In the morning birds are storing
Far being worms to their babes
Screaming, "Mama!" over the ledge
Angry about their names

Soon they all will be leaving
Before the man comes home
And everyone that's gone
Soon they will be no more

The rain is coming
The fields are a mess
Its all a joke on your missed trends
Don't know when their coming
Don't know if they will
Borrow some money, and pay your pimp.

Long, long way down very high up.
Long, long way to the ground very high up.
Very High up. High up.

From the ground it looks like eagles
To others it smells like planes
Cover up the gasoline
If it sparks it goes up in flames

The eagles are soaring
So please look your best
Its all's a joke on your missed trends
Don't know when they're coming,
Don't know if they will
Borrow some money and pay your pimp.

Its a long long way down very high up.
Its a long long way to the ground very high up.
Very High up. High Up.

From the ground it looks like eagles
To others it smells like planes
Cover up the gasoline
If it sparks it goes up in flames

The eagles are soaring
So please look your best
Its all's a joke on your missed trends
Don't know when they're coming,
Don't know if they will
Borrow some money and pay your pimp.

Its a long long way down very high up.
Its a long long way to the ground very high up.
Very High up. High Up.

Lyrics:


Meet me down by the (mobile down?) trees
There's a thousand things you got to see to believe
Come on, lay those bones down at my feet
We're gonna look to the future, see what we see
Man, I say you future looks pretty damn dim
I couldn't say if you're gonna sink or swim
Give me five dollars and I'll sing you a song
Gonna tell you something you knew all along
That's, uh

Yes, I know we all die at the end of the road
Ain't nothin' round here you can hold
Guess no, guess no, body knows
That when I die, go back home
Yes, I know we all die at the end of the road
Ain't nothin' round here you can hold
When I go, just take my bones
Scatter them from here back to my home

Listen to me, now when I speak
Say, I do my best talkin' when I'm fast asleep
Come on and lay your head down next to mine
You can listen to the spirits of the dead just fine, oh
Come on, help me with these iron wings
We're gonna fly so high we hear the angels sing
Man, it feels good to have my feet off the ground
I hope the good God Almighty that I never come down

Yes, I know we all die at the end of the road
Ain't nothin' round here you can hold
When I go, just take my bones
Scatter them from here back to my home
Yes, I know we all die at the end of the road
Ain't nothin' round here you can hold
When I go, just take my bones
Scatter them from here back to my home

The Builders & The Butchers

The Builders And The Butchers - Bringin' Home The Rain:




Lyrics:

Blood-shot your eyes drop
And the skin's all wearing thin
There's no one here to tell you about the depth of the water
Or the trouble that you're in
You're dancin' with your demons baby
You forgot your former lie
And it was hard swimmin' once
And now you're daily divin' in

And I'm bringin' home the rain
There's no supper on the table
And my feet are in the flame
I'm drying out again

All your kin have all gone on to fields all bathed in sun
And the only things left in your possession is an empty bottle and a gun
And the weekends come and go like tides and they soak you to the neck
And pretty soon the weekdays are all the same

And I'm bringin' home the rain
(I'm bringin' home the rain)
There's no supper on the table
(no supper on the table)
And my feet are in the flame
I'm drying out again

I'm bringin' home the rain
(I'm bringin' home the rain)
A baby's cryin' in a cradle
(Baby's cryin' in a cradle)
And my feet are in the flame
I'm drying out again

Evil are the demons that haunt you
Forgetting what it was that they taught you
And now there's no one left to stop you
Or to catch you when you drop

You're evil as the demons that haunt you
Forgetting what it was that they taught you
And now there's no one left to stop you
Or to catch you when you drop

You're evil as the demons that haunt you
Forgetting what it was that they taught you
But now there's no one left to stop you
Or to catch you when you when you
When you when your

Blood-shot your eyes drop
And the skin's all wearing thin
There's no one here to tell you about the depth of the water
Or the trouble that you're in
You're dancin' with your demons baby
You forgot your former lie
And it was hard swimmin' once
And now you're daily divin' in

And i'm bringin' home the rain
(I'm bringin' home the rain)
There's no supper on the table
(No supper on the table)
And my feet are in the flame
I'm drying out again

I'm bringin' home the rain
(I'm bringin' home the rain)
A baby's cryin' in a cradle
(Baby's cryin' in a cradle)
And my feet are in the flame
I'm drying out again

And I'm bringin' home the rain
(I'm bringin' home the rain)
There's no supper on the table
(No supper on the table)
And my feet are in the flame
Oh the ceiling's closin' in

...Con un po' di ironia...

Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons - I Will Wait:



Lyrics:

And I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun

And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground

And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

So break my step
And relent
You forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way
Shake the excess

But I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

So I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So take my flesh
And fix my eyes
That tethered mind free from the lies

But I'll kneel down
Wait for now
I'll kneel down
Know my ground

Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow

Because I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

Lyrics:

Making a silent switch I sew
Tied to tides to break me
Raised to drown its hold
Till it's undone
You know I've known wrong
You know I've known wrong
Laid on my own one ray
Bleed me till were one spot
Save me break my legs
Make me run
You know I've known wrong
You know I've known wrong
Wake me
Writing step by sole
Washed away by repeat
Named by all I tow
Under the sun
You know I've known wrong
You know I've known wrong
Washed up
Set your sail my way
Leave me till the hook drop
Raise over and stray
Save no one
You know I've known wrong
You know I've known wrong
