Holcombe Waller - Risck Of Change:

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:

Choking on the edges of the melody
You used to sing to me
Pull yourself together again
Pull yourself together...

I gotta hand it to you
Who could tell you hide it well
They say you're brave to jump
But I see your eyes
I know you fell

Your face, your face
gives it all away
The sun's not here
But I know it's coming

You are the fire in my spine
Leave no shadow
Burning up my sorrow
You are this melody I can't get out
Gets caught in my ribcage,
turning me inside out

It comes a high, it comes a low
All is quiet in your arms in the early morning
Cars chasing lights below
My love what a mess we're in
Caught up in confusion and skin...

Has the world gone crazy?
Have we all gone mad?
What I wouldn't do to bring you back...

You are the fire in my spine
Leave no shadow
Burning up my sorrow
You are this melody I can't get out
Gets caught in my ribcage,
Turning me inside out

The sun's not here
But I know it's coming...

You are the fire in my spine
Leave no shadow
Burn away my sorrow
You are this melody I can't get out
Gets caught in my ribcage,
Turning me inside out...

(Turning me
Wish I could carry you away from here...)

City & Colour

City & Colour - The Death Of Me:



Link:


Lyrics:

Do I have nothing good left to say?
Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints?
People love to drink their troubles away.
Sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way.

'Cause maybe then I could sleep at night.
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light.
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.
I know, I know.

So here's to living life miserable.
And here's to all the lonely stories that I've told.
Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow.
Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle.

Maybe then I could sleep at night.
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light.
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.

Finally, I could hope for a better day.
No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind.
Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn't seem so heavy.
But then again I'll probably always feel this way.

At least I know I'll never sleep at night. (Sleep at night)
I'll always lie awake until the morning light. (Til the morning light)
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me.
My nerves will be the death of me.

My nerves will be the death of me, I know.

Lyrics:

I spend time of mine burning photographs
And now I'm stuck somewhere in the middle
At least we got a lill piece of me
And listen to the song that everyone is singing

I spend time trying to
Kicking all the dirt and running in the circle
And we lived out lives inside star?
And we ate our that we shared in the temple

I spend time of mine burning photographs
And now I'm stuck somewhere in the middle
At least we got a lill piece of me
And listen to the song that everyone is singing

More meaningless

And lisen to the song that everyone is singing

Lyrics:

Love, why did you run
And call my body poison
I wanted a love that would keep
It was all or nothing

In a poplar tree my hopes got caught
And then you broke my heart
And the branches bent just out of reach
It was all or nothing.

I'm going to be just fine
I'll travel down my crooked line
With these images in my head
Of you lying beside me

I still have your old t-shirt
It's starting to smell like dust
And I barely remember your name
It was all or nothing

I'm going to be just fine
I'll travel down my crooked line
With these images in my head
Of you lying beside me

Walking down Huntington Avenue
Since you've gone my steps have turned heavy
Yet I don't regret a thing
As long as there is spring I'll love again
So when the crowd gathered to see the holy end
I loved so hard I broke in half
And my heart shrivelled to potpourri
But it was all or nothing
All or nothing, all or nothing…

I'm going to be just fine
I'll travel down my crooked line
With these images in my head
Of you lying beside me

Keya keya sorya douse dame da.
Yamerarenai yamerarenai.
Douse damedakedo yamerarenai ne
Keya keya sorya douse ne,
Keya keya sorya douse dame da.
Taerarenai taerarenai,
Douse dame da kedo taerarenai ne

You and me at the edge of the world
With a pretty little smile for me to see
New bright whites and a cage full of ice
And a naked little canopy to feed my disease

And if you're to smile at me
I could cry by land or sea

After you said that you like Big Red
I opened up my mind and skipped a beat
Cufflinks and hands in wrong places and faces
And creepy little movies made me weep

And if you're to say to me
What is mine is yours to keep

Well you know, I'll have to see
If all the stars aligned we could've solved the mystery
It's a partial fantasy
We're living in a land that went astray from history

You and me at the edge of the bed
Looking at the faded pictures for you to see and me to see
Murder and colonies, land without rivers
Raging in the middle of some sad destiny

Take one look to find my eyes
Safety's in your inner thigh

Well you know, I'll have to see,
If all the stars aligned we could have solved the mystery
It's a partial fantasy
We're living in a land that went astray from history

Iron & Wine

Iron & Wine - Joy:



Lyrics:

Deep inside the heart of this troubled man
There's an itty bitty boy tugging hard at your hand
Born bitter as a lemon but you must understand 
That you've been bringing me 
Joy

And I'll only lie when you don't want the truth

I'm only frightened 'cause you finally gave me something to lose
And it's as loud as a thunderclap and you hear it too
But you've been bringing me 
Joy

Deep inside the heart of this crazy mess

I'm only calm when I get lost within your wilderness
Born crooked as a creek bed and come to confess
That you've been bringing me
Joy

And when I'm alive, I'm living for you

Another bluebird dying, but for singing the blues
And it's a heartfelt silly sort of bumbling tune
About how you're bringing me
Joy

Lyrics:

I thought of you when you were gone and the oak tree lost it’s leaves
I thought of you when you were gone and easier to please
And I was just a sorry Judas, walking down by the scarps of stone

Where nothing grows
Where poor souls all call their homes
The Potter’s Field, there ain’t no marker stone
Where they buried my bones

I thought of you when days were long, when I was cruel when I was kind
I thought of you when days went by, when I was drunk when I was blind
And I was just a sorry Judas, went walking down by the scarps of stone

Where nothing grows
Where poor souls all call their homes
The Potter’s Field, there ain’t no marker stone
Where they buried my bones

Where nothing grows
It don’t rain and it don’t snow
The sun don’t shine and the wind never blows
Where they buried my bones

Lyrics:

When your world trembles and quakes
And your footing suddenly shifts and shakes

Take my hand
We'll hide in the corner, hide in the corner
Take my hand
We'll hide til it's over, til it's all over

We have choices to make
We have promises that we can't break
There is nothing left to lose
So hold on to me, I'll hold on to you

Liam Finn - Energy Spent:



Lyrics:

Oh the view of the sea
The Deep Blue Adriatic Sea
The clouds are covering the hills in a madness
That sometimes covers over me

But I'm not broken just a little energy spent
And it's a long way from here
I'm not broken just a little energy spent
And it's a long way from here

With a towel on my hips
And the salt upon my lips
I am starting to look like a homeless
With a beard on my chin

But I'm not broken just a little energy spent
And it's a long way from here
I'm not broken just a little energy spent
And it's a long way from here

From here I cannot see my house
And here I can speak my mind
From here I cannot see my house
And here I can speak my mind

But I'm not broken just a little energy spent
And it's a long way from here
I'm not broken just a little energy spent
And it's a long way from here

From here I cannot see my house
And here I can speak my mind
From here I cannot see my house
And here I can speak my mind

Liam Finn

Liam Finn - Second Chance:



Lyrics:

Sew the seeds
Sew the seeds to life by packing up to make it right
And all I need
All I need to know
Are you too proud to let it go?

Remember me
Well honestly I don't remember who you are

So it seems
And so it seems tonight, you've got that wild look in your eye
What do you need
What do you need to prove?
The woman that you turn into

The memory has never been the best, you want a second chance

You stand around your haunted home
Those demons won't leave you alone
Don't forget me when you grow old

The memory has never been the best, you want a second chance

You stand around your haunted home
Those demons won't leave you alone
Don't forget me when you grow old

Remember remember

Andrew Bird - A Nervous Tic Motion Of The Head To The Left (Live):



Lyrics:

Overprescribed
Under the mister
We had survived to
Turn on the History Channel
And ask our esteemed panel
Why are we alive?
And here's how they replied
You're what happens when two substances collide
And by all accounts you really should have died

Stretched out on a tarmac
Six miles south of North Platte
He can't stand to look back
Sixteen tons of hazmat
It's what goes undelivered
Undelivered

It's a nervous tic motion of the head to the left
It's a nervous tic motion of the head to the left
Of the what, of the head to the left
So exercise yourselves to your bereft
'Cause it's a nervous tic motion of the head to the left of the, of the, to the

Splayed out on a bath mat
Six miles north of South Platte
He just wants his life back
What's in that paper nap sack
It's what goes undelivered
Undelivered

It's a nervous tic motion of the head to the left
A nervous tic motion of the head
Head to the left
It's a nervous tic motion of the, of the, to the
Left

It's a nervous tic motion of the head to the, of the, of the head of the head to the

Over imbibedUnder the mister
Barely alive we cover the blisters in flannel
Though the words we speak are banal
Now one of them's a lie
Now one of them's a lie
You're what happens when two substances collide
And by all accounts you really should have died

Lyrics:

Ah the lengthening hours in the refinery
Belching fire into the sky
We do our best vampire routines
As we suck the dying hours dry
The night is lovely as a rose
If I see sunlight hit you
I am sure that we'll both decompose

Ah the fitful sleep and the fire engines
That I dream of when I dream
Some day we'll both wake up for good
I will try hard not to scream
The evening wind will shake the blinds
You're stirring from your slumber
We've got something hateful on our minds

Oh sing sing sing
For the dying of the day
Sing for the flames that will rip through here
And the smoke that will carry us away
Yeah sing for the damage we've done
And the worse things that we'll do
Open your mouth up and sing for me now
And I will sing for you

Aaron Thomas - Any More:





Lyrics:

Tell me: how's a guy like me
Supposed to get through this?
How'd I end up like a fucking tourist?
I'm shouldering the sun just to get noticed

Well, I'm over it
I've done all I can, I think I've earned it
Give me back my pain, I want to burn it
And how come everybody makes me nervous?

I don't wanna fight with you anymore
Sun's on my back now, I'm moving on
I don't wanna fight with you anymore
Any more
Than I have to

Well, screw this
Take another bomb, this time I insist
I can prove you wrong, I have a witness
I'll wait until you're gone before I blow a kiss

'cause I'm over it
I've done all I can, I think I've earned it
Give me back my pain, I want to burn it
And how come everybody makes me nervous?

'cause I don't wanna fight with you anymore
The sun's on my back now, I'm moving on
I don't wanna fight with you anymore
Any more than I have to

Andrew Bird - Not A Robot, But A Ghost:



Lyrics:

I run the numbers through the floor 
Here's how it goes 
I crack the codes
I crack the codes that end the war 
I crack the codes that end the war
 
The hour  
The hour  
The hour  
The hour
 
I pushed a note under your door  
Here's how it goes
Things come to blows  
But we don't want this anymore  
No, we don't want this anymore  
We don't want this anymore
 
I crack the codes, you end the war
 
I hear the clockwork in your core  
Time strips the gears 
'till you forget what they were for  
I push the numbers through your pores 
I crack the codes
I crack the codes that end the war
 
How's my living, you can call 
Encrypted numbers on bathroom stalls  
There's something burning, 
It casts a pall 
It's melting numbers 
Right off the wall
 
I run the numbers through the floor 
Here's how it goes 
I crack the codes 
I crack the codes, you end the war
 
The hour 
The hour 
The hour

Agnes Obel - Riverside:




Lyrics:

Down by the river by the boats
Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you wont see any rising sun
Down to the river we will run

When by the water we drink to the dregs
Look at the stones on the riverbed
I can tell from your eyes
You've never been by the riverside

Down by the water the riverbed
Somebody calls you somebody says
Swim with the current and float away
Down by the river every day

Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside

When that old river runs past your eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so very near
The river will be your eyes and ears

I walk to the borders on my own
Fall in the water just like a stone
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Why do I go here all alone

Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside (x2)

(Ohh ooh why)x3

Down by the riverside X2
