Corrina Repp Complete Lyrics Archive

B i o g r a p h y
(by Andy Greenwald)

Named after Dylan's “Corina Corina”, Repp got an earful of the folk singer growing up. Her father, an accomplished guitar maker, instilled in her a love for the instrument, which she took to as a teenager. Her first steps toward a music career came in the late 90's. Drawing on influences such as Gillian Welch, The Cowboy Junkies, Giant Sand and other country-tinged performers, Repp's first efforts have the earmarks of alternative-country: a world-weariness, a subtle drawl, minor key narratives of lost love, tragedy and redemption. A dramatic shift came in 1999 with a the release of the EP The Other Side is Mud. Here Repp found her unique voice: She tempered her vocal delivery, rarely venturing past a conversational volume. Strummed guitar was largely phased out in favor spare finger picked figures or undulating romantic melodies. The shift toward minimalism heightened the drama of her narratives which also underwent transformation from literal to figurative. The end result was evocative of the ethereal otherworldliness of misty, zen landscape paintings, or the stark In those days Repp did make some attempts to collaborate. The short lived State Flowers-- a band which she co-fronted--recorded and self released one record then fizzled out. A couple gigs with drummers were interesting but lacking something that her electrifying solo performances achieved. Repp soon took to performing a few numbers with a “Dr. Groove” drum machine. Repp's first major recording accomplishment was a sleeper.

Recorded at The Type Foundry with Adam Selzer (The Decemberists, M. Ward, Norfolk and Western) I Take On Your Days is a slow-burning, intimate, cohesive collection of songs establishing Repp's singularity. The songs stretch out and serve as horizon lines for the vocals. Accompaniments of sustained, droning notes are punctuated by her vocal melodies, pretty but never delicate, never girly. Always a woman. The lyrics mix contempt--served chillingly cold--with radiant, sublime love, sidestepping cliches and maudlin histrionics. Witnessing Repp perform her material in 2002, it took Keith Schriener, an accomplished electronic musician (Dahlia, Auditory Sculpture, Suckapunch), several months to build up the courage to ask her if she would like to collaborate with him. After some trial runs, the two embarked on a series of casual sessions which would come to produce the enchanting, symbiotic It's Only The Future. The drill was straightforward: Repp would come in the studio and play her song while Keith found a tempo and suggested beats. Repp played producer, largely taming Schreiner's instincts, reducing beats to rudiments, synth figures to texture. The subject matter of the songs is largely inspired by the slow walk to separation in her marriage, sparking questions of identity and instinct. Once again, the songs bear her musical trademarks: panoramic space, entrancing simplicity, wizened lyrical perspective. Repp will take these songs to the stage again, performing throughout the west with The Decemberists, M. Ward and others

Idyllwild & Lost Horse

Idyllwild and lost horse
Driving arms I don't miss my bed
And the fire burns a season
August irons I don't miss my bed

Everyone is gone
Obligation moves them on
And I don't speak
I'm just sitting
I have nowhere I have to be
Be

They were howling near and far
Sirens in the dark
Obligation moves pulls them on
With the postcards on a shelf
And next to no-one
There's nothing else

Everyone is gone
Obligation moves them on
And I don't speak
I'm just sitting
I have nowhere I have to be
Be

Everyone is gone
Obligation moves them on
And I don't speak
I'm just sitting
I have nowhere I have to be
Be

At The End Of The Night

At the end of the night
When all is done
It doesn't matter what he said
Or what was won

At the end of the night
When all is done
And I should have told you to fuck off
But you're no one

At the end of the night
When all is done
I knew from the minute I walked in
I didn't want to be there

Despite the empty chairs
I gave myself in stare
His big grin didn't bother me
I knew not to trust it
I knew not to trust it
Trust it

At the end of the night
When all is done
Doesn't matter what he said
'Cause you don't
And I'm sticking to my guns
I'm sticking to my guns

Despite the empty chairs
I gave myself in stare
His big grin didn't bother me
'Cause I knew not to trust it
I knew not to trust it
Trust it

At the end of the night
When all is done
And I should have told you to fuck off
But you're no one
You're no one

Everything is okay

( Mile: a hush compilation )

Everything is okay
Everything is alright
Everything is okay
Everything is alright

Bring in the shotgun
Or bring in the saint
If i moved away
Would anything change

Bring in the obstacles
Or bring in the grave
If put my head up
Would you do the same
For me

Oh the other side is mud
Oh the other side is mud

Everything is okay
Everything is alright
Everything is okay
Everything alright

Bring in the confidence
And stand up straight
Put my head up
Would you do the same
For me

Oh the other side is mud
Oh the other side is mud

April fool

And I'm still
Wondering where you went
He said a month or two ago
I'd be your groom
I'd be your groom

I'm Sorry
I say
There's not enough room, for the both of us
It was just too perfect to trust

And I'm still
Wondering where you went
this is the death of me and you
the death of me and you

We found out, you didn't need me
And I found I didn't need you

It was just just too perfect to trust

Minutes will

I feel like such a fool
When I stand next to you
I wish my back was turned
unrecognizable to them

I wish he had something that I could believe in
But that won't change if you try
And the minutes, they'll turn when I'm gone
And the minutes, they'll turn when I'm gone

I feel absurd
When I stand next to you
And if my back was turned
Could I entertain you

Am I the one who should be
In the bright lights
It's too dark, I can't see their face
And the minutes, they'll turn when I'm gone
And the minutes, they'll turn when I'm gone
And the minutes, they'll turn when I'm gone

Raleigh School Birds

When you were mine
When you were mine
Rosiness struck me blind
My head hit the fence
And they swarm, they swarm like bees
And watching them I feel small
And gracefully they fly to sleep
And gracefully they fly to sleep
And they fly, they fall to sleep
And they fly, they fall to sleep
And I am fine, fine, fine

I am fine
I am fine
I am fine

They sang the solo

( Mile: a hush compilation )

I bought a knife
And carved your name
Up on stilts

On the tallest tree
We build a fort
No one could see

And I became your queen
And you became my prince

But I made you up
You don't exist
And you never did
And you never did

And I became your queen
And you became my prince

But I made you up
You don't exist
And you never did
And you never did

Did You Say You Were Grown

Have you had enough
Of me and you
You have no response
You're not happy for me
And you're hanging on
With your tiny threat
With your tiny threat
Are you that desperate
Are you that desperate
I'm not that desperate
Do you seem
And your heart is obvious and you
You want the world to know
You want the world to know
So you ignore me
Did you say you were grown
Did you say you were grown
Did you say you were grown
Did you say you were grown

Opinion

What if I
Never raised my voice
You'd never know
How weak I can be

What if I
Never said anything
But compliments
Would you be happy

Now that you're gone
I think that it would be better
If you found someone who had
No opinion at all
No opinion at all

What if I
Never raised my faith
You'd never know
I could be like this

What if I
Agreed with everything
I would be
Just like you know

Now that you're gone
I think that it would be better
If you found someone who had
No opinion at all
No opinion at all

What happens to the plans
You've made
And haven't kept
He put his head down
After all was said
I won't argue
Over what was said
Now that he's gone
I put the coat on
I put the coat on
I put his coat on
But never quite fit

I raise my wage
With what was ???
You can have it
If you want
I'll take the picture
I'll take the picture
I'll take the picture
From the fourth of July

When the rockets cleared the sky
And he stood by my side and said
You're a good kid
You're a good kid
You've been a good kid
For all of your life

Undertow

You say that our
Best mistakes are
You undertow from ??
Since the day we were born

Moving back and forth
You know that it has no word
And nowhere to go
Just leave it alone

I'm not trying to make you commit
To who you've been
And who you've known
And is it better now that you've grown
And are you better now that you've grown

???
It looks that I've done something right

Good news

You don't want the good news
I don't have any other
If I was confused
Would you like me any better
So you shut them all down
All because you knew how
Is there any good news
Left coming from you

You don't want the good news
I finally have mine
You ran out of the room
And came back with a knife
To ??? down
All because you know how
You brought us all down
All because you know how
Is there any good news
Left coming from you

I Take On Your Days

I take on your days
Even when you're away
I take on your days

And it's hard to be
With you and with me
And it's hard to be

I think of your mother
I think of your father
And I'm homesick after all

I think of the watch he left
Underneath his breath
You're my favorite one

I take on your nights
Even when you cry
I take on your nights

And it's hard to be
With you and with me
And it's hard to be

I think of your mother
Think of your father
And I'm homesick after all

I think of the smile she left
Underneath her breath
You're my favorite one

Gone

The good ones are gone
Taken in arms
I don't want to know
You're gone, you're gone
Wrap yourself in it

And you drag your feet
So willingly
But I'm not pleading ghost
I let most of him go
Go, go
Go, go

And I can't help you now
I pick on myself and how
Did you notice your heart
Far from its shell
You're gone, gone
You're gone, gone

Wrap yourself in it
Wrap yourself in it

Blues For The Unencouraged

When you're old enough
I'll tell you to go
And when you're old enough
I'll leave you alone
I know you won't make it
I wouldn't plan to be
Anything, anything, anything
Anything, anything, anything

And when I'm old enough
I'll push you away
And when I'm old enough
I'll ask you to stay
I know I won't make it
I didn't plan to be
Anything, anything, anything
Anything, anything, anything

Upstairs, Outside

Now you've found your way
Back outside
Softly said I'm alright

Don't wait up for this
Go back outside
You'll begin to fall faster

Come first keeping mine
They don't stay the night
Softly said I'm alright
Softly said I'm alright

You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed
You didn't take me away from me
You let me be when i need to be
Be

And I've changed my mind
I don't need to find appreciation
And anything or anyone but you
Let's call it the truth
And anything, and everyone and you
And anything, and everyone and you

You like me the way I am
I don't need to be anyone's friend
And everything and anyone it's you
Let's call it the truth
And everything and anyone and you
Let's call it the truth
And everything and anyone and you
And everything and anyone and you
And everything and anyone and you
And everything and anyone and you

Lost at sea

If you're lost at sea
Will you wait for me
If i'm shot down
Will you look for me

If i'm locked out
Will you let me in
Now i can't get out
I forgot how

Held all the doors open
Held all the doors open

If i'm lost at sea
Will you let me be

If you can't find
Any reason
Any reason to stay alive
I'll let you go

I'll let you go

If you can't find
If you can't find
If you can't find
Any reason
Any reason to stay alive
I'll let you go

It's only the future

But its only the future
And the fact that you left home
No matter what you do
You're alone

But its only the past
And its what you'll never get back
You take the worst
And let it rest

But its only a lie
And its not there to define
What you know
What they know
Whats not said
You're not alone

But its only the future
And the fact that you left home
No matter what you do
You're alone

You almost made it out, but you turned around

I miss my friends
The ones i grew up with
The boys, the men, the girlfriends
Are you okay

Are you even awake
Are you even awake

Do you take your clothes off
For anyone
With your daughter and your son
In the next room

Did you make it past
The train tracks
The stop lights
Do i have to ask

If you'd leave them behind
With all the best inside
With all the best inside

You almost
Made it out

You almost
Made it out

But you turned around
But you turned around

No one's telling

I put it on you
Its best if i'm alone
What you said was better
Than what you've ever shown

I don't want you to walk me
Home
I don't want you to walk me
Home

No one's telling me to go
No one's asking me to stay
No one's telling me to leave
No one's asked me if i feel better
Today
If i feel better
Today

And i put it on you
Because i'm all alone
With all my reasons to stay

No one's telling me to go
No one's asking me to stay
No one's telling me to leave
No one's asked me if i feel better
Today
If i feel better
Today

And i put it on you
Because i'm all alone
With all my reasons to stay

No one's telling me to go
No one's asking me to stay
No one's telling me to leave
No one's asked me if i feel better
Today
If i feel better
Today

Have + to hold

I'll see you sometime
When the person
You thought i was
You thought i was
I'm not anymore

Whats the point
Of dragging this out
And i'm some kid
And you're some kid
And you're still innocent

Whats the reason
To have and to hold
When you only let go
Whats the reason
To have and to hold
When you only let go

I'll see you sometime
When i'm some wife
Or when i'm alone
Or when i'm alone
I'll haven't let go

Whats the reason
To have and to hold
When you only let go
Whats the reason
To have and to hold
When you only let go

And i'll be there to hold
I won't let go
And i'm some kid
And you're some kid
And we're still innocent

Finally

If you don't look
I won't tell
Finally free to be still
Maybe something's right this time

I'll never look
Theres nothing to tell
Finally a place to be
But you know me too well sometimes

Theres no waiting
No taking a stand
Nothing comes up
That hasn't been had
Some say a place to be
But you know me too well sometimes

If you can't see
I'll have to say
Finally free to be still
Maybe its the other way

Theres no waiting
No taking a stand
Nothing comes up
That hasn't been had
Finally a place to be
But you know me too well sometimes
But you know me too well sometimes

Maybe something's right this time
Okay

Replaced

You know that it fades away
Well all have a way
To be replaced
To be replaced
To be replaced
To be replaced

With someone
Brighter than you
With a future
You can turn to
You can turn to
You can turn to
You can turn to

And i'll forget everything
Until i see someone
Burning like me
To take it on
To take it on
To take it on
To take it on

You know that it fades away
We all have a way
To be replaced
To be replaced
To be replaced
To be replaced
To be replaced
To be replaced
To be replaced

Here's someone else

It'll be good
If you want it
It'll be gold
If you want it

Just stare
At whats behind you
The kids
Have come and gone

Here will i stay
Here in the well
While you think of yourself
While you drink from yourself

I'll have a minute
Here if you need it
I'd hate to miss you
I would cause i need to

Have someone say
"here's someone else"
While you think of yourself
Thats what you do with yourself

S.s. 5000

And its just a shame
That you don't find
Any decent heart
That isn't afraid

And its just the way
Ten years today
He always said too bad
Too bad i wanted it

And now you have it
And everyone's looking to see
What you'll be like
Be like the next time you meet

And you kept wasting them
Yourself and everyone else
Just watched to see
If you went down whispering

You could fall asleep
I'll still let you be
Some unknown
Cause no one's listening

I'll be seeing you

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through

In the small cafe
The park across the way
The childrens carosel
The chestnut tree
The wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything thats light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But i'll be seeing you

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through

All

All
All the things you are
You know I surely go
Be all
All the things you're not
Now you can be
Them all

All the things you are
You know I surely go
Be all
All the things you're not
Now you can be
Them all

Don't say it was me
Don't say it was me
Who pulled you under
Your Not far
Where the mother called you in
Where the father took you out with the men
Your old friends
Wonder when you've been
Wonder why we're both a little gone

All
All the things you are
You know I surely go
Be all
All the things you're not
Now you can be
Them all
Be all, all, all...

Safe Place In The World

Did you come looking for
A safe place in the world
Here next to a girl
What if that safe place has
Secrets no one understands
Here next to a man

I always knew
I wouldn't stay
Too long
It just wasn't you
It just wasn't me
Now I'm here
On the other side

What if that man there has
what he'll never have
Here next to a girl
What if you find someone who
Tell your secrets to
The old days are new
And the old days are new

I always knew
I wouldn't stay
Too long
It just wasn't you
It just wasn't me
Now I'm here
On the other side

Afloat

Where will we go
You know the shore
Will keep us afloat
For awhile

Only 'till the sea
Tell secrets to each
And everyone that comes to be

Taken underneath
By everything
That you'll never sink
That you'll never sink

Leave it at the shore
It's not yours anymore
And it will never be

Know you'll always have
A place to keep
You and me afloat for awhile
You and me afloat for awhile

Let Us Lie Underneath The Night

We can drive half way across divide
We can go anywhere we want to
Let us lie underneath the night
And let us lie
Let us lie underneath the night
Without a home

There's no place left to mark
with all that we demand of self
I know you know
I know you know
And you know it well
There's no sense leaving it to
Leaving it to the rest
Who sleep on it

I'll Walk You Out

I'll walk you out
But everyone knows where I'm from
I don't mind
It won't keep me
It won't keep me

Some girls don't want to stay home
Some girls don't want to stay home
I don't mind
It won't keep me
It won't keep me

I'll walk you out
But they can't look away
What are they gonna do
What are they gonna say
He's coming back for you someday
He's coming back for you someday

Some girls are meant to stay home
Some girls are meant to stay home
I don't mind
It won't keep me
It won't keep me

Heavenly Place (For Charles)

Wait for me
I'll wait for you
All the things that we have lost

In the dark a coat of
Armour does nothing to keep
Us from

A Beating heart
Can't stop and start
Oh! I wish you a heavenly place
Oh! I wish you a heavenly place

When you're hurt
'Cause you love someone
There's a light where it's dark

And you know
That you'll never be alone
Oh! I wish you a heavenly place
Oh! I wish you a heavenly place

Anyone's It

How will you ever know
I can't be yours
I can't be anyone's life
Except mine
Except mine

I always think about
What we miss
When we're sitting here with this
Old friend
Old friend

Your lost love
That you'll never keep hold of
While you wait for it to end
I can't be anyone's it
I can't be anyone's it
Except mine
Except mine

That Which Has No Remorse

Endless Days filling up
Causing rift, splitting blood
That's the way it's going to be
So I will fall in love

So profound was the force
Pushing us closer towards
That which has no remorse
So I will fall in love

Anchor

To complete my plans
To complete my plans
To complete my plans
To complete my plans

If our skin had scales in colorful details
We'd travel the road and never go home
I bleed on a rose and sing what the skin can't show
We hold the rope fearful they watch us float
I'm the white night to someone else
I'm the beacon in the dark

To complete my plans
To complete my plans
To complete my plans
To complete my plans

There's not a dance that doesn't make your hands
Point to the post to the one's you hold close
We move to breathe and how they watch us bleed
We hold the rope fearful they watch us float

I'm the white night to someone else
I'm the beacon in the dark
I'm the restless in your heart
I'm the restless
I'm the restless

Blood Stains

There is a part of you
In the way I move
I look on your face
It's an echo
I can frame
It's a wrack I can leave
It's the blood on (…)
I can name
It's the pieces left in the street
It's the wrack I can leave x2
Bloodstain
A monument x4

I know you
I know what you gonna do
I'll be waiting here
In the shadows
You want blood
I want your blood to
It's the blood on blood done
In your name
It's the pieces left in the street
It's the wrack I can leave x2
Bloodstain
A monument x4

The Beast Lives in the Same Place

Woman, shed yourself again
Real men on a hunt
The beast lives in the same place
It's never really gone away

I feel like I'm gonna bite it
Take my fist and high five it
You were my favorite one
And now you're gone
Gone

I bet you now
Seems like you wanted to be found again alone

Woman, make your way again
In another life
The beast lives in the same place
It's never really gone away
copy paste robots kill the internet
I feel like I'm gonna bite it
Take my fist and high five it
You were my favorite one
And now you're gone

I bet you now
Seems like you wanted to be found again alone

I feel like I'm gonna bite it
Take my fist and high five it
You were my favorite one
And now you're gone

In another life
Gone
In another life
Gone

Pattern the Cut/Calm Ass Mofo

You follow
Follow whenever you want
You show up

And you ride on
You ride on
You ride on
You ride on

I did it
Do it again I pattern the cuts
You only
Hold it in your arms

And take on
Take on
Take on
You're gonna take it on

When I leave
Gonna leave in the wake of your pain
Gonna love it here so I'll stay
And I haven't been this calm before
And now I know I want more

I believe if it's enough, I'm gonna find
Some place to rescue my mind
Out of all the dark places that I'll go
And now I know I want more

Now I know
Now I know I want more

It came from the sea
I explained it to you what I need
Now we'll both of dreaming of our plans
And now we know that we never can

‘Cause now I know
And now I know I want more
Now I know
Now I know I want more

Life for the Dead

Pick the faces in the crowd
They'll be your lovers
They'll be with you now

Seems like you're looking for gold
You're not what you hoped
You're not what you hoped

Seems like you're looking for gold
You're not what you hold
What you hold
What you hold

Save me, I'll live for the dead
You can have my body
You can have my head

You can take another shape
But you're not what you ache
You're not what you ache

You can take another shape
You're not what you ache
What you ache, what you ache

Seems like you're looking for gold
You're not what you hold
What you hold
What you hold
What you hold
What you hold

Woods

I believed in
Believed in what you were
You can't shine your light on me
'Cause I've seen you in the dark

I won't make you like me
You know what's in my heart
You can't shine your light on me
'Cause I've seen you in the dark
copy paste robots kill the internet
I found that I have the same pulse as
I found that I breathe the same breath as
I found that I have the same pulse as you

Is it alive
Or does it take up your time
You can't say you like me
'Cause I've seen you in the dark

I found that I have the same pulse as
I found that I breathe the same breath as
I found that I have the same pulse as

Another Shape

Your love (?)
With your arms laid up in the dark
And you're heard and not seen if you choose
So you'll fly over

But a knife
Carved your name up on stilts (?)
Tallest tree I've been a fool (?)
No one could see

I became your queen
You became my prince
Made you up you don't exist
And you never will

Take your body
Make your way
Make your body
Another shape

Take your body
Make your way
Make your body
Another shape
Another shape
Another shape

I became your queen
You became my prince
I made you up you don't exist
And you never will

Take your body
Make your way
Make your body
Another shape

Take your body
Make your way
Make your body
Another shape

Take your body
Make your way
Make your body
Another shape

Take your body
Make your way
Make your body
Another shape
Another shape
Another shape

Release Me

Release me
From the pattern of electricity
Save me
from the weeping and the wailing
I'm rising, I'm rising
I'm rising, I'm rising

Wake me
I'm in a force without my mind
I'm gonna rise up before I die
I die
I'm rising, I'm rising
I'm rising, I'm rising
copy paste robots kill the internet
Take the thorn out now
Sing a lullaby
Let the lonely child
Imposes a song
I'm rising, I'm rising
I'm rising, I'm rising

Take the thorn out now
Sing a lullaby
Let the lonely child
imposes a song
I'm in a force without my mind
I'm gonna rise up before I die
I die
I'm rising

Set Fire

Oh my God, you're gonna set fire
I feel like my heart's in a flame
It's a simple thing as anything comes you play your drum a little louder

I'm standing where we said we love
Everything we said we never thought of
It's the sweetest thing as anything comes you gotta love a little lighter

I found a secret game
All full of love and decay
When it opens your heart is erased
And you'll live like a ghost in this place

I'll lay down in the fire
I have already, love
I'll still lay down on fire
I have already gone

Through the corn
Through the corn
Through the corn

Oh my God, you're gonna set fire
I feel like my heart's in a flame
It's a simple thing as anything comes you play your drum a little louder

I found a secret game
All full of love and decay
When it opens your heart is erased
And you'll live like a ghost in this place

I'll lay down in the fire
I have already, love
I'll still lay down on fire
I have already gone

Through the corn
Through the corn
Through the corn

Long Shadow (with PB)

Stand there look good together
If you can't pull it down
?? running through your body
I see you now

You cast a long shadow
But I know what it's for
Half-mast, half-full
Play it some more

You can have it, you can bury it
You can make it yours
You can feel the space between us
Or you can make me yours

You cast a long shadow
But I know what it's for
Half-mast, half-full
Play it some more

You can have it, you can bury it
You can make it yours
You can feel the space between us
Or you can make me yours

You can have it, you can bury it
Or you can make it yours
You can feel the space between us
Or you can make me yours

In the Dark You're More Colorful

Dead before the light you came for
When you're dark, you're more colorful, colorful
So you'll find elation
In the dark, you're more colorful, colorful

I found you in a whisper and fume (?)
So we'll go, so we'll go
Neither I and you (?)

You're alright
You're alright
And I'll let you go

I'm alright
I'm alright
Now let me go

You're alright
You're alright
I'll let you go

I'm alright
I'm alright
Now let me go

HOW A FANTASY WILL KILL US ALL

Fierce in the headlights

You're fierce in the headlights
You're gonna stand your ground
You'll have an animal's affection
They'll let you wear their crown

I want
I want it
I want
I want it

You're gonna see their view
If you let them come here
It's just the plain plain truth
It's dark out there for You

You never thought you could run
You never thought you could run
You never thought you could run
You never thought you could run

You're making your way
Into the sound under the ??
It's on the ??

Take it, take it away
Take it, take it away
Take it, take it away
Take it, take it away

Take it, take it away
Take it, take it away
Take it, take it away

You never thought you could run
Take it, take it away
You never thought you could run
Take it, take it away

You never thought you could run
Take it, take it away
You never thought you could run
Take it, take it away...

The End of a Gun

One thousand guiding lights
From the place where you stand
I've seen them following you
With their hearts in their hands

Tell 'em what you've got
It may not feel like a lot to a man
Tell 'em what you've got
It may not feel like a lot to a man

You will remember their names
Spoken by the fire light 'til we're one in the same
Heaven is no place, take me back home
To the start of the race

Tell 'em what thеy've won
You know it feels like the еnd of a gun
Tell 'em what they've won
You know it feels like the end of a gun

Ambulance

( mile: a hush compilation )

An ambulance rushes by
Flashing red and white
To the scene
Two hundred cars
A head screaming
Three miles at most
On the highway

The city shifts its weight
Heading north
You'll be late
I dont know the dead
But i got a chill
I dont know tragedy
But they say i will

Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha

Whatever they mean
They dont care because
Today they cried and stared
A man they dont know
Wont make it home tonight
I drive past in heartache
And in relief

You know what i mean
You know what they think
I'm glad it wasn't me

I dont know the dead
But i got a chill
I dont know tragedy
But they say i will

Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha

Easy To Leave

( With Ben Barnett / Mile: A Hush Compilation LP )

Easy to leave
So cheaply
I can't breathe
Through a mask
I can see past

And you're also scared
Of being easy to leave
Because you're hard to love that way
Because you're hard to love that way

And you won't say anything
Tonight we're through
The tiny holes, the tiny holes
You speak through

And you're also scared
Of being easy to leave
Because you're hard to love that way
Because you're hard to love that way

And you don't say anything (and you don't say anything)
Tonight we're thought (you don't even talk)
The tiny holes, the tiny holes (the silent, the sidewalk)
You speak through (hold you all day)

And you want with that face (and you don't say anything)
And you want with those eyes (...)
Say anything, say anything
To match your size

And you're also scared
Of being easy to leave
Because you're hard to love that way
Because you're hard to love that way

Fall Again

(Kath Bloom cover / Loving Takes This Course: A Tribute To The Songs of Kath Bloom LP)

It's fall again
I just can't listen to your call again
I think I'm going with the leaves again
I'm falling to the ground

And horses passed
My memory is on a funny track
I'm riding but I want you back
'Cause it's fall again

And I feel this high
We called up Howard, what a funny guy
To mow it down and give it one more try
'Cause it's fall again

My memory
Is going nuts, it's going wild on me
I tried to show you, but you never see
That it's fall again

Fall, fall, fall
Moonlight laughters
Dream, dream, dream
We know what comes after

It's fall again
I just can't listen to your call again
I think I'm going with the leaves again
I'm falling to the ground
I'm falling to the ground
I'm falling to the ground
I'm falling to the ground
I'm falling to the ground

Fire at st. Jude

( mile: a hush compilation )

The trees are on fire
But only a few
Their smoke, their breath
Reminds me of you
And the fire at st jude

All of this when
I thought you were winning
Only something up ahead
Your arms bent by your side
A questioning pose
Before an answer arose

At the fire at St Jude
At the fire at St Jude
The red engines roaring
Lights spinning
Everyone's sick
Where's my baby

The fire quick spread
So stand by and watch
It form ahead
Taking on arms
But your kindness
Disagrees with its evil
Your kindness is like water

At the fire at st jude
At the fire at st jude
The red engines roaring
Lights spinning
Everyone's sick
Where's my baby
Where's my baby
Where's my baby

I Luv The Valley OH!

(Xiu Xiu cover)

It's a pill and you've got to take it
It's a pill that you've got to take
It's a pill and you've got to take it
I won't rest until you take it

That's a heart that you made
That's a heart and the both of you made it
That's a heart that you made
I won't rest until I break it

It's the l'histoire de la family
It's the l'histoire de la femme
It's the l'histoire de la family

I won't rest until I forget about it
I won't rest until I don't care
I won't rest until I forget about it
I won't rest until I don't care
La la la la la la la la

That's a razor and you make a threat
That's a razor, make a million billion threats
That's a razor and you make a threat

And I won't rest 'cause I heard it all before
My behind is a beehive
There's a buzz in my backside
My behind is a beehive
And I won't rest while you break my will

Je t'aime the valley
Je t'aime the valley oh
Je t'aime the valley
I am an orphan de la vallée

I won't rest until I forget about it
I won't rest until I don't care
I won't rest until I forget about it
La la la la la la la la

You've been flirting again

All that she said was true
