B i o g r a p h y
 (by Richie Unterberger)

If psychedelic music had a voice in '90s post-punk, Mazzy Star may have been its strongest reincarnation. That doesn't necessarily mean that fans of the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead will find the band to their liking, however. Mazzy Star much prefered the dark side of psychedelia, as exemplified by the most distended tracks of the Doors and the Velvet Underground. Their fuzzy guitar workouts and plaintive folky compositions are often suffused in a dissociative ennui that is very much of the 1990s, however much their textures may recall the drug-induced states of vintage psychedelia. Although Mazzy Star was nominally a full band, they were basically the core duo of guitarist David Roback and singer Hope Sandoval with backing musicians. Roback boasts a long history in the paisley underground, with the Rain Parade and Opal. He came across Sandoval after hearing a tape she had made as part of a folky duo, Going Home. (The Going Home album that Roback subsequently produced remains unissued.) Sandoval ended up replacing Kendra Smith on Opal's final tours. After Opal dissolved, Roback and Sandoval continued to work together as Mazzy Star, and released their first album for Rough Trade, She Hangs Brightly, in 1990. Rough Trade's U.S. branch went under shortly afterwards, but luckily Mazzy Star were picked up by Capitol, who kept the debut in print and issued their follow-up, 1993's So Tonight That I Might See. There isn't much to differentiate the two albums, though that's not necessarily a criticism. Both share similar strengths and weaknesses: appealingly dreamy and atmospheric arrangements, rambling distorted guitar workouts, and lyrics that mix the haunting and the meaninglessly vague. Tonight That I Might See had been around for about a year before it suddenly got hot, reaching the Top 40, and spinning off a small hit single, "Fade Into You." Even in the wake of this surprise success, Roback and Sandoval remained as enigmatic and aloof as their music, rarely submitting to interviews, and offering mysterious, unhelpful replies when journalists did manage to talk with them.

She Hangs Brightly

Halah

Well I think I see another side
Maybe just another light that shines
And I look over now through the door
And I still belong to no one else
Maybe I hold you to blame for all the reasons that you left.
And close my eyes 'till I see your surprise
And you're leaving before my time.
Baby won't you change your mind?
 Surely don't stay long I'm missing you now.
It's like I told you I'm over you somehow
Before I close the door
I need to hear you say goodbye.
Baby won't you change your mind?
 I guess that hasn't changed someone
Maybe nobody else could understand
I guess that you believe you are a woman
And that I am someone else's man
But just before I see that you leave
I want you to hold on to things that you said
Baby I wish I were dead.
 Surely don't stay long I'm missing you now.
It's like I told you I'm over you somehow
Before I close the door
I need to hear you say goodbye
Baby won't you change your mind?

Blue Flower

Waitin' for a sign from you,
Waitin' for a signal to change
Have you forgotten what your love can do?
Is this the end?
 Walkin' through the city
Your boots are high-heeled and are shinin' bright
The sun was sparklin' on the shaft of your knife
Flower in the morning rain,
Dying in my hand
 Was it all in vain?,
Superstar in your own private movie
I wanted just a minor part,
But I'm no fool
I know you're cool,
I never really wanted your heart
Your feet rough heat
 Nothing seems to bring you down
It's not that cool when I'm around
Flower in the morning rain
Dying in my hand
 Was it all in vain?
Superstar in your own bright movie
I wanted just a minor part
But I'm no fool
I know you're cool
I never really wanted your heart

Ride it on

Ride it on baby,
Into my view
Ride it on baby,
Into your side
Ride it on baby
Just like you used to do
 Did you want me to love you, well,
I'm just here for the call
And you said that you're so low, well,
I won't really do you any harm
Won't you ride it on baby,
Just like you used to do
There's no love that you're over feeling
And you still want to be with me
But you're leaving like you said that you would
I'm waiting for the call
And you love like you always say now
But you know it won't do you any harm
 Ride it on baby,
Just like you said that you would
Oh then ride it on baby,
Just like you know it's understood
 Ride it on baby,
It's still into your view
Ride it on baby,
I only want to be with you
 I'm dreaming that you're going far,
And you lie, take and whine
Won't you ride it on baby,
But you're so heavy for the price
Ride it on baby,
Just like you said that you would

She hangs brightly

She hangs brightly from the tree
Wonders what she's done to me
I'm aware of your game
Come and watch me
Watch me come down
 Takes me down deep and wide
Pulls me through to the other side
She's the winner of her game
Come and watch her
Watch her come down
 It stays down
Sour in truth
Lies of lovin'
The story's cheap
 She's the winner of her game
Come and watch her
Watch her come down
Deep and wide
Inside, inside, inside

I'm sailin

I'm sailin' sailin',
Place I've never seen
That's way down south,
Sweet 'ol New Orleans
'Cause my hometown friend treat me awful mean
 If I could holler, Yeah holler
If I could scream and cry,
It hurts me so
When I look up in the sky,
'Cause my friends turn their heads,
As they pass me by
 Now it's rainin', It's rainin'
The wind's blowin' cold,
Lord I thought I heard
My train whistle blow,
Now I'm gonna sail so far
'Till I won't be back no more
 Pardon me, pardon me,
It's so hard to stand
I ain't got no money,
Uncle Sam has called my name
Now there's not a soul,
To give me a helpin' hand

Give you my lovin

Give you my lovin',
Seven days a week
I'll be a honey,
If you'll be sweet
I know I'm the only one for you
I know that you think this is not true
 Man says it's rainin', Rainin' outside
I'll be out there in a little while,
Cause you see Rain reminds me of you,
And everything has turned to you
 See you in places,
I'm following you
You'll be upstairs,
And I'll be there too
Everywhere you go I will follow
I know it won't be the same tomorrow
 People give me warnings,
Stay away from you
They say you'll hurt me,
I don't think that's true
Discomfort arouses when I speak of you
As if you've been sayin' something bad
About me
 When I see you,
I want to kiss you
But I know that ain't right
So I ask if I can hold you
Oh babe I need you so bad
Oh babe I only want to make you
Glad

Be my angel

They say it's me,
That makes you do things
You might not have done,
If I was away
And that's it's me,
That likes to talk to you
And watches you,
As you walk away
Don't say it's useless,
Don't say forget it
Don't bring me wishes,
Of silly dreams
Just say it's all,
From too much freedom
Too many fingers,
And to anything
 They say it's you,
That washes the weary
And brings the night into the day
If you won't notice,
How can I show you
All of you worries,
Have all gone away
 Don't leave me lonely,
Don't leave me unhappy
Just bring me up into your fate
If you don't need me,
Then don't deceive me
Letting my freedom turn into stone
 Just be my angel,
If you love me
Be my angel,
In the night
Be my angel,
'Cause you need me
Be my angel,
And treat me right
 Don't say you love me,
If you don't need me
Don't send me roses,
On your behalf
Just take me down,
And walk through your river
Down the middle,
And make it last
 Holding on to you,
Holding on to me
Holding on tight,
'Till my love is crossed
Don't say it's useless,
And don't say forget it
You are my spirit,
Now you are gone

Taste of blood

Red oh red,
The taste of blood
On lips of wine
 Red so silent,
Wait a minute
Or just a little while
 What are you looking for,
The taste of red,
The taste of fear
 From your seemingly convincing smile
 Red oh red,
The taste of blood
On lips of wine
The time is waiting maybe
Takes away from your demise
From your demise
Say you're slippin'
Maybe so
It's not easy
Now you know

Ghost highway

You're a ghost on the highway,
And I'll love you forever
Ghost on the highway
And I'll love you forever
Forever and ever
And ever and ever
 Your eyes are an island
And I'll own them forever
Your eyes are an island
And I'll love them forever
Forever and ever
And ever and ever
 You're a ghost on the highway
And I'll love you forever
Ghost on the highway
And I'll love you forever
Forever and ever
And ever and ever

Free

I fell asleep in the silence
Before the street fights the fire
 Free in the world that you've given
Lay in the sound,
The water still calls,
Still calls
 Afraid of the dark that surrounds me
Hide in the dirt of the ground
Free in the wind that surrounds me
I'm not afraid to sleep in the night
Not afraid,
To sleep in the night
 Free like a bird of the holders
Holding the wake of the sun
I know the road that you send me
I know the way it leads to home
 Real like the bones in my body
Real like the flesh that covers the grave
 It's real,
Like the flesh
That covers, The grave
 Wait for the guards that you send me
Before I'll show myself,
Wait for the storm that comes to me
Maybe I'll just change my mind
Plea for the will of forgiveness
I'm not afraid to say I was wrong
I was wrong
Maybe I won't
So long
So long

Before I sleep

If it's
The truth
That's all I know
I look for you
And just say
I know
The lie
That was
Is now
The last
I'll go
For you
Before I sleep
I hear you say
You say
I stay
Near the edge
And waste my time
Just waste my time


So Tonight That I Might See

Fade into you

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there.

 Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

 A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

 Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

 Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew

Bells ring

Bells ring into the night
 Sounds like a mistress on a rainy night
Hold your throw down together
 And see the light that goes away
Leave my heart down by the water
He spins inside my soul
It isn't true but you follow
Just hold me down by the water
 They say you look like a believer
Look up to see the weakness in the sky
Nobody's out to buy your story
Nobody wants to know your reason why
 Hold your hands out towards the water
In front of me to know I'm with you
Don't put it all into your hero
Look on if you believe
Look on if you believe
Look on if you believe
 Don't want to say that I'm through with it
 Just want to be , Right by your side,
Right by your side

Mary of silence

Oh Mary of Silence,
You pick my heart with a smile
Oh sweet Mary,
Come inside for a while
Help me get a hold on you,
Or I look in the night
I thought of myself beside you
Take me into your skin

 Oh, Sweet Mary of Silence
 Oh, Sleeping Mary of Silence

 We have a steady confusion,
You're looking at fear
It doesn't seem like the first time,
You walked out in a hurry

 Oh, Sweet Mary of Silence
 Oh, Sleeping Mary of Silence

 I look in , In your window,
To check my head in your pane
My last thoughts , they come to me,
I can't take the pain

 Oh, Sweet Mary of Silence
 Oh, Sleeping Mary of Silence

 Help me walk with you, To the sky that we see
Shuddering in myself, in-my-self
 Oh where
Oh when
Oh well
Sweet Mary of Silence X4

Five string serenade

This is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And while I'm playing for you
It could be raining there too

 This is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And while I'm playing for you
It could be raining there too

And on my easel I drew
While I was thinking of you
And on the roof of my head
In came my five string serenade

His is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And while I'm playing for you
It might be raining there too

And on my easel I drew
While I was thinking of you
And on the roof of my head
In came my five string serenade

This is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And though I'm playing for you
It might be raining there too
 This is my five string serenade

Blue light

There's a blue light, In my best friend's room
There's a blue light, In his eyes
 There's a blue light, yeah,
I want to see it, shine

 There's a ship, that sails by my window
There's a ship that sails on by,
There's a world under it
I think I see it,
Sailing away

I think it's sailing,
Miles crashing me by
Crashing me by,
Crashing me by

 There's a world ,
Outside my doorstep
Flames over, everyone's heart
Don't you see them shining,
I want to hear them
Beating for me

I think I hear them
 Waves crashing me by,
Crashing me by,
Crashing me by
 
She's my baby

 She's my baby, She belongs to me
But yesterday she walked home all alone
Everybody else, looks at my baby
Then they wandered over to me
 But baby's feelin' bad today
She said she's thinking of goin' away
Oh baby I'm cryin', And my body's flyin'
But I remember you

 She's my baby, Ain't that something
But I know she belongs to you
 Yesterday was another day, when I,
Saw your baby, walkin' home alone,
I'm feelin' sorry
 I called you but I
I guess that I forgot your name
 Baby's feelin' bad today
She said she's thinkin' of goin' away
But she's just like lightning
She goes right through you
Then you know you'll never
Be the same
 Now everybody looks
All around the corner
Just to see your baby
Walkin' home

 She's my baby
Ain't that something
But I know that she belongs to you
She belongs to you

Unreflected

Once it's life's fortunate
Isn't this so
The unreflected feeling
Of a shortened final soul
The life that cuts the cold
Now is in your past
In our memories
We don't have much to say
We don't have much to say
We don't have much
 Follow anybody
Is that what you do
Maybe it transfits
Done something else with you
Now we know what we'll be in the past
Another story
Another life that's left
Another life that's left
 
Wasted

 After I stuck my
Hands into your ground
And pulled out
Somebody else's son
 I felt a little unfortunate
A little mistaken
 I felt like I'd been wasted
All day long
All day long
After I bent myself to my knees
And raised my hands up
Right above my head
I felt a little, little
A little bright patch
 I felt like I'd been wasted
All day long
All day long
 After I took my eyes
From the west
And brought myself back
To my place
 I felt a little light for awhile
A little light stone
 I felt like I'd been wasted
All day long
 All day long

Into dust

Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
 Around broken in two
'Till you eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
'Till my hand shook with the way I fear

 I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate

 It was you breathless and tall
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers turning into dust
Turning into dust

So tonight that I might see

Come up crash with the muses fells dust into ash
Come so close that I might see the light inside me, I might see
Let me hold you tight and arms tight and arms you lost your chance
Come so close that I might see the crash of light come down on me
With good luck I'll find the dark, stop me now
Find me to your heart
Let me hold you tight like rain and sunshine on a rainy day
See the lights
Come so close that I might see, see the light come down on me
Searching like the fresh goes by small like wind refuse to die
Free me now so I can see the taste of wind who lock me
Does the wind indeed like me
Does the wind indeed like me
With good luck I find the dark stop me now
Find me to your heart
Let me hold you tight like rain and sunshine on a rainy day
Let me hold you tight and arms tight and arms you lost your chance
Come so close that I might see the crash of light come down on me
The crash of light come down on me
The crash of light come down on me
Let me hold you tight and arms tight and arms you lost your chance
Come so close that I might see the crash of light come down on me
With spin luck I'll find the dark stop me now find me to your heart
The crash of light come down on me
So tonight the crash goes by
Small like wind and refuse to die
The crash of light come down on me
Come so close that I might see, see the light come down on me
I hold you tight like rain
Sunshine on a rainy day
Sunshine on a rainy day

 

Among My Swan

Disappear

Just because
You call my name
I cannot hear
It's not the same
You close your eyes
And knock me back
All the things that I had to have

And now you choose the thorny cave
I can't believe what I had to say
All the things you never say
I'll never be what you want me to be

Now I can't disappear

Close your eyes and look at me
I can't believe what I cannot see
Everything is like you say
Change your mind and you'll have to forgive

And I can't disappear
Now I can't
Now I can't

Flowers in december

Before i let you down again
I just want to see you in your eyes
I would have taken everything out on you
I only thought you could understand

They say everyman goes blind in his heart
And they say everybody steals somebody's heart away
And i got nothing more to say about it
Nothing more than you would me

Send me your flowers, of your december
Send me your dreams, of your candy wine
I got just one thing I can't give you
Just one more thing of mine

They say everyman goes blind in his heart
They say everybody steals somebody's heart away
And i've been wondering why you let me down
And I been taking it all for granted

Rhymes of an hour

Cannot hear what your saying
Could i tell you so
And i can't believe my troubles
And i'm going home

Lie and sleep
Under deep
You know

While the cold winter waitin'
While it's turning cold
All these things we were searchin'
Now we just don't know

Lie and sleep
Under deep
I think you know

For the rhymes of an hour
Now i'm going home
And I can't believe I'm nothing
'Cause I'm coming down

Lie and sleep
Under deep
Do you know?

Cry, cry

Cry, cry for you
Just like you knew I wouldn't do
Cry, cry for you
Just like a song in the last light

Should I leave it all away
Not like the kindness that you gave
That's why it never seems the same
Behind your eyes

I stood behind when no one asked me
And took you home after the fight
I drove my car into city lights
Drove down the road that I am on

Cry, cry for you
That's what you think I want to be
Cry, cry for you
An empty heart that sees me through

Cry, cry for you
Just like you knew I wouldn't do
Cry cry for you
Just like a song in the last light

Cry, cry for you
Just like you knew I wouldn't do

Take everything

I can't believe your thinking
Save everyone, inside you
Take everything
Fake everything
Save everything
About me

All of you, all right
Just because, I want to know
Do you still come last night clear eyes pale
You never got there even though you say you will
Sorry now that you've fallen from my eyes
That's the truth

Why are you telling me about everything
Why tell me about anything
You're just waiting for her to come apart
You're just waiting for her

Take everything
Fake everything
Save everything

Still cold

You really had a million hearts to break
Now it's time that I never left you in the moonlight
How comes always someone else driving your car
Taking you different places in the sunlight

Still cold like the stars
That's just the way you are
Still cold like the stars

You used to say your heart felt like a stone
Now everything you ever wanted is your own

Still cold like the stars
That's just the way you are
Still cold like the stars

All your sisters

And I knew I was close to you
And I knew
Catch me flying in the sun
Catch me drinking of your wine

I'm gonna put something in you
Make the devil feel surprised
All your sisters wanna fly
Around my golden sky
Around my golden sky

Just because you feel, hollow inside it's real
Just because you feel, hollow inside it's real

I'm gonna put something in you
Make the devil feel surprised
Make the devil feel surprised

And I knew I was close to you
And I knew
Catch me flying in the sun
Catch me drinking of your wine

I've been let down

I've been let down
And I still comin' round
I've been put down
And i'm still comin' round for you
Comin' round for you

Take away everything that feels fine
Catch a shape in the circles of my mind
Make me feel like i belong to you
Make me feel even if it ain't true

Catch a train on a silver afternoon
A thousand miles and i'm getting there too soon
Take me there when i should be going home
Tell me why i still feelin' all alone

I've been let down
And i'm still coming round
I've been put down
And i'm still comin' round for you
Comin' round for you

Roseblood

Everyday you can see
Changes in her hair and smile
I can wait a million days
While her smile goes away

Sometimes i feel dizzy
By the slices in her hands
Secrets in her lipstick mouth
Shiny on her again
Shiny on her again

Capture her smile and then that's all
You won't know her so it's okay
Funny how things change
Funny how things change

Happy

Field of light
They hold me inside
Count my stars
They're all lucky in the sky

There's a time
When you go off the light
And all my things look like someone else's memories

Cold outside
Burns a great big hole in my heart
I just wait till you're happy
And your smile makes it bright
It makes it bright

Sleep inside
Ocean has miles
It shimmers and it glows
For some people
I know it shines
I know it shines

Stay inside
Don't the colors make you blind
They hold me inside
Count my stars
Let them shine
I know they shine

Umbilical

She should have seen the thing in mother's belly
Grew up along side her sister of ethnical
She reached up for nourishment and fall from her mother's umbilical cord
With her sister in the womb

One day she opened her mouth wide and swallowed wide her surroundings
The red, and orange and the sounds all around her
Now she was in her corner
Now she was in her corner
Her eyes closed with some kind of complete
Happiness
Some kind of complete
Happiness

Now she can walk in the sunlight with a quiet of relief inside her
Now she walks in the sunlight
An extra feeling inside her soul, makes her cry

In her mother's belly her mouth opens wide her sister
One day she opens her mouth wide and swallows her surroundings
The red, and orange and the sounds all around her
In the sunlight, makes it go away
Now she was in her corner
In the sunlight
Now she was in her corner she listens.
Her eyes closed with some kind of complete
Happiness
Some kind of complete
Happiness

And now she walks in the sunlight
With the extra feeling, inside her
Now she walks in the sunlight
With the extra feeling, inside her
Inside her

Look on down from the bridge

Look on down from the bridge
There's still fountains down there
Look on down from the bridge
It's still raining, up here

Everybody seems so far away from me
Everybody just wants to be free
Look away from the sky
It's no different when you're leaving home

I can't be the same thing to you now
I'm just gone, just gone
How could I say goodbye
How could I say goodbye
Goodbye

Maybe I'll just place my hands over you
And close my eyes real tight
There's a light in your eyes
And you know, yeah, you know
Look on down from the bridge
I'm still waiting for you

 

Seasons Of Your Day

In the Kingdom

I took that train into the city
You know the one that goes under the bridge
I thought I was listening
To a band that played a song that chained me

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Walked up the stairs
The sunlight hit my face
See all the people just standing around
If all is right in the kingdom tonight
You know your place ain’t into this town
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

I took that train into the city
You know the one that goes under the bridge
I thought I was listening
To this band that played a song that chained me

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

California

I think I'm going back to California
So distant and it's so far away
It's so far
It's so far, far away

I think I'll drift across the ocean now
Clouds look so clear in your eyes
Let me bring all my
Let me bring all my friends
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I think I'll fly across the ocean
I can watch the sky turning grey
I think I'm going back
I think I'll go back

I think I hear the whisper of my oldest friend
I think I hear the bells ringing in the square
California
California

I’ve Gotta Stop

I’ve gotta stop
Making you stay
I’ve gotta know
You’d never say
Those words are meant
Not to be thrown
God hears you say
You put me on
But when you’re weakened in my arms
Shining

You look so strange
From someone’s window
You’ve got that ray
Like Palm Shore ray
But something’s wrong
I’m sure you know
You seem to say
You’ll never go
But when you’re weary in my arms
Shining
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
I’ve gotta stop
Making you stay
I’ve gotta know
You’ll never say
I’ve got that thought
To pass the time
God hears you say
That would be fine
But when I’m weary in your arms
Shining

Does Someone Have Your Baby Now

Does someone have your baby now
Does someone flame your fire and day
Count your skies in the dark
And turns your head around
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Does someone know your smile and laugh
Does someone send ???
Spins your world around
And I’ll lose the right thing as well

I don’t wanna get it on with you
Don’t wanna get it on

Does someone have your baby now
Does someone flame your fire and day
Count your skies in the dark
And turns your head around

I don’t wanna get it on with you
Don’t wanna get it on

Common Burn

Simple things like your over coat
And your beauty
That's still burning me
Let me hang around
Even if it's just some way to have

Some common burn
A common burn

So I spend the night in someone's house
That you clouded
Oh simple me that you fled
But we have that in common
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
A common burn
That common burn

Aware of atoms, I said
So many times before
You could sit around and have
Everything that you scored

Just don't come home and say
You've been asleep
When you know you're burning
Someone

That common burn
That common burn

Seasons of Your Day

Won’t you let me come inside
I’ve only stalled all of my pride
And I know you’re alone
'Cause I’ve been there

I was storming all of the day
Outside your door it’s misery
That the rivers are never
Streaming right before

I know you’ve been missing me
Well, you know
I’ve been missing you too
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
And all my miles away
Let me know your reason
It’s my mistake
Not ‘til you understand
The seasons of your day
That you change

Won’t you let me come inside
I’ve only stalled all of my pride
I know you’re alone
'Cause I’ve been there

I know you’ve been missing me
Well, you know
I’ve been missing you too

Lay Myself Down

Just like that, she follows me
My wings are under her tree
She says one thing and that's just enough
It doesn't matter how much

Would I forget
Laying myself down
Just to regret
And that's all
Would I forget

I'll go with her
I'll never know how far, how long
She keeps her diamond inside her door
She don't have a clue
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Would I forget
Laying myself down
Just to regret
And that's all

Would I forget
Laying myself down
Just to regret
And that's all

And that's all
And that's all

Sparrow

You used to say
Don’t give me a thing
Look at me with your cold eyes
You know what I’m saying

You used to say
I got a heart like a sparrow
And a smile
Just like a blade

And I’ll become what would soothe you
And a smile from my heart would suffice
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
You used to say
I’ll be fine on my own
Give me one bottle of wine
And two for the road

You used to say
I’ve got a heart like a sparrow
And a smile
Just like a blade

Spoon

I ain’t no spoon
Ain’t nobody gonna turn me around
I ain’t no spoon
Ain’t nobody gonna turn me around
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Put your sapphire away
On the window ?? day
That’s right
That’s right

I ain’t no spoon
Ain’t nobody gonna spin me around
I ain’t no spoon
Ain’t nobody gonna spin me around

People so fine on the right
Far enough if I’m the left side

I ain’t no spoon
Ain’t nobody gonna spin me around
No, not me
No, not me

Put your sapphire back
On the western light
That’s right
That’s right

Flying Low

Well, I'm flying low in London's past days
It's not the first time that you've heard it this way
Maybe the last time you thought you could tell
What you hoped for from the wishing well
In the parlour room
In the parlour room
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
It's sad somehow your love started this way
That somebody else that doesn't see it the same
Who, where is he, where does he do
Seldom is home for you

Right now you got your life in your hands
You spent your simple days counting them down
Counting them down

This is the way that you heard it one day
Explain to me that I'm speaking the same
Who, where are you, where do you do
Seldom do you speak the truth

*** Thanx a lot to the Mazzy Star Boulevard Members ***

Non Albums Tracks

Before I sleep ( Alternate Version )

( Live track )

The light that was
Is now the last
I go
For you
If it's the truth
That's all
I'll stay near the edge
And waste my time
Just waste my time

Hair and skin

( Green on Red Cover / Flowers in December EP )

Your hair and your eyes
I saw them in the night
Your face, your disguise
I felt it in the night
Your cool clammy skin
It could be right beside me
I saw you swimmin' over here
You looked so fragile
And don't you know her eyes were red?
Your hair and your skin
I know my desire
I felt akin
To my desire
Your eyes and your face
I dreamed them in the night
Your hair and your skin
I saw them swimmin' over here
And don't you know you're life itself

Had a thought

( Flowers in December EP )

Had a thought that you might be coming home
Made myself up while I was alone
You said one thing and now it's a shame
That you're leaving without anything
To say
You believed that the stars come from the left
I have something you might need to know the rest
You believe
It's okay
Everybody's just looking out north
For that one dream that comes every night
In your smile there are many a ways to cut
Your pain
Uh-huh

I'm Gonna Bake My Biscuit

( Fade Into You CD single / Minnie McCoy Cover )

I've got a brand new skillet and a brand new lid
I ain't got no stove, but I'll bake my bread

I'm gonna bake my biscuit
I'm gonna bake my biscuit
I'm gonna bake my biscuit
Ain't gonna give nobody no

I'm gonna lock my doors, keep my windows all down
You know about that, I want no bones around

I'm gonna bake my biscuit
I'm gonna bake my biscuit
I'm gonna bake my biscuit
Ain't gonna give nobody no

I ain't got no flour, I ain't got no meal
If you got no man, you've got to rob and steal

I'm gonna bake my biscuit
I'm gonna bake my biscuit
I'm gonna bake my biscuit
Ain't gonna give nobody no

I'm might tell you somethin', don't know if I'm right
But if you want my bread, you got to stay all night

I'm gonna bake my biscuit
I'm gonna bake my biscuit
I'm gonna bake my biscuit
Ain't gonna give nobody no

Come here, come here, won't you come here now
Boy, I ain't got time cause my bread ain't brown

I'm gonna bake my biscuit
I'm gonna bake my biscuit
I'm gonna bake my biscuit
Ain't gonna give nobody no

I'm Less Here

( a.k.a 'It speaks the distance' )

Behind my life
Is different colors
They go away
And come back to you
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
It's just no where
It can be found
It's just with me
Come on take it

The touch of your hand
It speaks of distance
It speaks of distance
In your heart

Come on
There's no question of why

Behind my life
There's a silent storm
It brings a vision
Into your mind

It's in-between
The colors have faded away
My heart it screams
For nothing you have to say

Come on
There's no question of why
Come on
There's no question of why

It's in-between
On the darkened hearts
Behind the unknown
That there's no chance

He has his hand
Among my swan
Keep it there
Now that you've gone

Come on
There's no question of why
There's no question
No maybe

Beat your door
Too black and blue
He took his words
His solitude

And so often
My eyes long
And so often
My eyes long
???

The touch of your hand
It speaks of distance
In your heart
Behind my life
I know

It's a shame

( Live track )

Hold a candle to my face
I just want to see the lights
You and me, we went our separate ways
And ....
We went driving in your car
And you took me by the hand
Now I don't know just where you are
I wanna ?? my chance
I miss your smile
I kiss your face
I tell you good-bye
And it's a shame
Don't you wake me cuz i'm not dreaming
I don't want to ??? mistake??
I ain't to be nothing??
....
I miss your smile
I kiss your face
I'll tell you good-bye
But it's a shame
We went driving in your car
And you took me by the hand
Now I don't know just where you are
I wanna know ?? my chance
I miss your smile
I kiss your face
I'll wish you alive
But it's a shame
It's a shame

Let that be

( Unreleased )

I don't care if you're leavin' on the train
I think all of your music's done in vain
And I don't care about the girls that you lay
I'm not the one who sees you anyway

You came to that
If I can set you free
Let that be
Won't you let that be

I don't care if you're going home
I think all of your music's done all wrong
And I don't care if you live in misery
Things apparent are the things you just can't see

You came to that
If I can set you free
Let that be
Won't you let that be

Now that you're gone

( Live track )

When you were down
I was around
But don't you call
Out my name
Because you know it ain't the same
Anymore
Anymore
When you were young
I was around
But I wouldn't listen to you
'Cause you're driving me wrong??
But you know it ain't the same
Anymore
Anymore
Because when you're young and so in love
So in love inside
But even though i tell you this now
I really, really don't care
No I don't care
No I don't care
When you were young
I was always around
But I wouldn't listen to you
'Cause you're driving me wrong??
But if you hear me i guess you know
What I think??

Rock Session

( Live track )

Do you want to die?
Do I want to die?
Think I want to jump in the water?
Do I want to die?
Do I want to jump in the water?
I'm a rocket machine
I ??
Do you want to die?
Do you want to jump in the water?
I'm a rocket machine
I had a love a ??
Do you want to die?
Do you want to jump in the water?
I hear you say

Tell me now

( Batman Forever Soundtrack )


Three days of spirits
Tell me now
I'm here like a spell
That's bearing me to drive

Tell me now
That there are three days in a week
Tell me now
To make it so
Make it so I can't speak
Make it so I can't speak
Well I'm here like a spell
That's bearing me to drive

Eyes of blue
Sea of red
Take me to
Where I've never been dead
Where I've never been dead
Hey, it's between myself and me
It's a very lonely place
Between myself
It's lonely
Between myself
It's a lonely
Place
Crimson red
Yourself
Back up to me

Tell your honey

( Flowers in December EP )

Tell your honey
Living all alone
?
I guess i'll always be
I guess i fear
Go and tell your honey
Can help from what i've seen
I don't feel true
Do you anyway
I can see you sometimes
And then i just don't care
She loves (loathes?) me
She loves (loathes?) me
I don't think i could ever see
Tell me that you're near
So free that i'm leaving you behind
Don't plan to let you say you're sorry
Indeed so
Or maybe you'll be high
Be high X3
Shiver in a bath
I feel nice
And see the light

Under My Car

( Fade Into You CD single )

Saw you layin' under my car, but you took it too far
Don't you know
Held your hand, well I knew you slipped away
Watched your eyes, turn to grey, in mine
But you're still lingering
I see it somehow
You know what I mean, don't you
Don't you

Say what you mean
I've said it so well
Me and my own
I still, but you're damned
My eyes are crying, as you slip from my view
I guess you know it, I feel for you
Yes I do

Saw you layin under my car, but you took it too far
Don't you know
Held your hand, as you, slipped away
Watched your eyes turn to grey tonight
Me, I'm alone
I'm just driving away, from the side of you laying in death

Goodbye before I cry
I know you feel for me too
And I do
But it's the end
Goodbye my friend

Where did you run to

( Live track )

Looking for something
....
Trying to be something good, trying to be something
Looking through the world with those big black eyes
Where did you run to, baby?
Where did you hide?
All around i see great big falling stars
People outside the windows in great big jars
??? close my eyes
Those are my eyes you walk with
That I can't see
Being a king I guess it's all fine and well
You're the star i guess it's just as well
Even when i have something to do with this world
???baby
Haven't found a place for you
....
When you die you ain't gonna have any place to go
Your brand new sports car not one day run you down
Did you ever face the facts?
