B i o g r a p h y The
bluesy punk duo the Kills consist of vocalist/guitarist VV, aka Alison Mosshart,
formerly of the Florida punk band Discount, and drummer/guitarist/vocalist
Hotel, aka Jamie Hince. After Discount ended in 2000, VV began exchanging tapes
with the London-based Hotel through the mail, but both of them felt hindered by
this method, so VV crossed the Atlantic so the duo could write faster. In spring
of 2001, they issued a self-released demo that showcased their gritty, sexy
sound and earned favorable reviews from such quarters as TapeOp Magazine. They
also contributed a song, "Restaurant Blouse," to 5 Rue Christine's If the
Twenty-First Century Did Not Exist It Would Be Necessary to Invent It
compilation early in 2002, before their debut EP, Black Rooster, arrived that
summer on Dim Mak. |
Superstition is
Your modern eye
With original skin
And original lie
Your modern shell
Wants to fill itself
You got electric now honey so
What the hell
Superstition is
Your modern eye
With original skin
And original lie
Your modern shell
Wants to kill itself
You got electric now honey so
What the hell
Superstition is
Your modern eye
With original skin
And original lie
Your modern shell
Wants to fill itself
You got electric now honey so
What the hell

Gypsy death and you
You knock on her door
She don’t recognize your voice no more
So she got on an airplane
Na na na na not so long after
Struck down from the fever
Layed down in her hotel bed
Wouldn’t take no phone calls at all
Didn’t want no more voices in her head
If that’s the way that you feel
If that’s the way that you feel
If that’s the way that you feel honey, then
That’s the way that you feel
In the blue part of the evening
Sometimes it's hard
She thinks she hears you coming
But she’s stuck against the wall
Oh she wants what she wants
So she do what she do
But now when she looks at you
She covers one eye
'Cause she can see into your mind
She no longer wants to
If that’s the way that you feel
If that’s the way that you feel
And that’s the way that you feel honey, then
That’s the way that you feel
You're gonna have to step over my
dead body
Before you walk out that door
You charmed me with your magic
Landed looking tragic
"Forever" is the feather you ain't got no more
And all the people you see coming by to save you
You're make believing on in your mind
Your eyes are holy rollin', looking, beating, knocking
The ceiling gets closer to you all the time
This ain't no wow now
They all been put down
Who ain't dead yet
Fled to die closer to the shore
This ain't no wow no more
This ain't no wow no more
This ain't no wow no more
You're gonna have to step over my
dead body
Before you walk out that door
You charmed me with your magic
Landed looking tragic
"Forever" is the feather you ain't got no more
This ain't no wow now
They all been put down
Who ain't dead yet
Fled to die closer to the shore
This ain't no wow no more
This ain't no wow no more
This ain't no wow no more
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like the loose end of the night
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda'
like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like the loose end of the night
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda'

Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like the loose end at the end of the night
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like the loose end at the end of the night
This ain't no wow now
They all been put down
Who ain't dead yet, fled to die closer to the shore
This ain't no wow now
They all been put down
Who ain't dead yet, fled to die closer to the shore
This ain't no wow now
They all been put down
This ain't no wow now
They all been put down
There ain't no wow now...
Hello baby, hello baby
I love you
Good things come to those who wait
Reach out for it
So reach, reach out for it
My face in the mirror
My hands wanting to touch, touch
Your mouth
Climb in your mouth
Take your words out
One eye in the sun, one in the
night
Sleep tight, sleepwalk like honey, honey
O my capital I LOVE U
Put it in a letter honey
I could kiss you underwater
I could in the rearview mirror
X.O, took my heart and crossed it
Set it down and lost it
Set it down and lost it
Say it again...
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter
One eye in the sun, one eye in the night
Sleep tight, sleepwalk like honey, honey
When you want me, you got me where you want me again
Say it again!
If it's personal, say it again!
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out
You got one eye as white as a bride
The other eye, as black as the devil
It's alright!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Crossed wires, sparking a little
Start a house fire with us in the middle
It's alright!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter
Dead Road 7
This dead road leads down
To that dead road and back
To the road where the oldest road
Met the first dead road that cracked
Made the second and curved the third
Forked the forth and said to the fifth
"If you walk just a couple of miles
You're gonna come across the sixth, the sixth, the sixth"
It runs into a ditch
Dead road seven is a bitch
Dead road seven is a bitch
Floating belly flush
Floating belly up, up, up, up
Go down there if you wish
Go down there if you wish
This dead road leads down
To that dead road and back
To the road where the oldest road
Met the first dead road and cracked
Made the second and curved the third
Forked the forth and said to the fifth
"If you walk just a couple of miles
You're gonna come across the sixth, the sixth, the sixth"
Dead road seven is a bitch
Dead road seven is a bitch
Floating belly flush
Floating belly up, up, up, up
Go down there if you wish
Go down there if you wish
Go down there if you wish
Dead road seven is a bitch
Dead road seven is a bitch
Floating belly flush
Floating belly up, up, up, up
Go down there if you wish
Go down there if you wish
Go down there if you wish
The Good Ones
Took a car to the part of the city
Where the city runs out of street lights
God knows, it's the way that it goes
That we're never gonna catch any daylight
My little sister's eyes so wide
They must have been the size of the city moon tonight
My little sister's eyes so wide
That they must have been the size of the city
Did you get the real good ones
Did you get the good ones
Did you get the real good ones
Did you get the good ones
Did you got me the good ones
The real good ones, what you got
Take the water for the water taste good
I took the water and the water was hot
Once in a while, once in a while
You got to burn your lips, keep your feelings alive
Once in a while, once in a while
You got to burn down your house, keep your dreaming alive
So, did you get the real good ones
Did you get the good ones
Oh, did you get the real good ones
Did you get the good ones
Did you get the good ones
Did you get the good ones
Oh, did you get the real good ones

I Hate The Way You Love
I, I, I can't get full
Please could you take my shakes
And would you hold them still
My words fell into the road
I saw it starting to happen
And I could not collect them
Before they were rolled
I could not collect them
Before they were rolled
You love, you love, you love
I hate the way you love
I hate the way you love
May I look into your glass
Because I need some reflection
Yeah, I know it won't last
And look it's over already over
And I did not have the heart
No I did not have the heart
I was loosing a button
Right from the start
I was loosing a button
I was coming apart
I was coming apart
You love, you love, you love
I hate the way you love
I hate the way you love
I know I've seen you before
You bored me then and now you just bore me some more
The clock gets locked, locked
Tick tick, tick-tick-tick, stop, stop!
And now I can't get full
Please could you take my shakes
My eyes feel spikey and small
And I can't get no picture on them at all
I can't get no picture on them at all
You love, you love, you love

At The Back Of The Shell
Kiss all your fingers
What's that for
You'll never get to heaven
With your shirt all tore
Cut through your finger
And cut you loose
Lost a lot a blood
Lost a lot a cool cool cool
Now it ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill
Now it ain't such a thrill
It get's a little dirty
Like the guts of a hack
And you'll never get it back
You never get the damn thing back
Looked a picture
Took up half a roll
The way you went and took off
Half your clothes, and now
It ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill
It started at the back of the shell
And it ain't such a thrill
Running to catch up
The last city bus
Wearing out your yellow
Hulla dress
Lipstick a mess
Your ch-cherry best
Kissing on the window
Just to check on the red
You know, it ain't such a thrill
Now it ain't such a thrill
It started at the back of the shell
Now it ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill...

Rodeo Town
If I'm so evil
Why are you satisfied
If I'm so evil
Why are you satisfied
I had a dream about your ghost
You were breathing down my neck
Idiot style in the shower
Flicking your ashes down the drain
You were telling me how
This ain't no Rodeo Town
I caught the gun
But you made me set it down
You were telling me how
This ain't no Rodeo Town
I caught the gun
But you made me set it down
If I'm so evil
Why are you all satisfied
If I'm so evil
Why are you satisfied
When you left you said
I'm gonna keep an eye on you
Well I don't mind if you do
But you can't keep quiet
You were telling me how
This ain't no Rodeo Town
I caught the gun
But you made me set it down
You were telling me how
This ain't no Rodeo Town
I caught the gun
But you made me set it down
You were telling me how
This ain't no Rodeo Town
I caught the gun
But you made me set it down
You were telling me how
This ain't no Rodeo Town
I caught the gun
But you made me set it down
Murdermile
This ain't murdermile
That's just the way I smile
You're like hot oil
Got your roots down in a fire
Spitting shit like a tire
Got your foot down and your mind down
To it's last little wire
Come on! Come on!
It's a train wreck
You got me on the wrong track, honey
It's a train wreck
You got me on the wrong track, honey
It's piling up one by one
It's piling up one by one
You look bluer, do your do or die
But I ain't pull or push that pin in your side
A body split in two doesn't know how to sleep
A body split in two doesn't know how to sleep
You're standing on your head, while you're standing on your feet
A body split in two doesn't know how to sleep
It's a train wreck
You got me on the wrong track, honey
It's a train wreck
You got me on the wrong track, honey
It's piling up one by one
It's piling up one by one
It's piling up one by one...
Ticket Man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many tickets is the problem, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many problems is the ticket in my hand
Why don't you give it up and get it down
Spend half as much, kills you in half the time
Oh pull on the baby red number, make you hard to hit
Hard to stand and hard to sit around
Nothing's gonna kiss you like the blister gonna get you
From waiting it out
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many tickets is the problem, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many problems is the ticket, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many tickets is the problem, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many problems is the ticket in my hand
Why don't you give it up and get it down
Spend half as much, kills you and half the town
Oh it's a little too easy to always be kind
But the longer it takes, the more you must find
It's a little too easy to always be kind
But the longer it takes, the more you must find
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many tickets is the problem, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many problems is the ticket, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many tickets is the problem, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many problems is the ticket in my hand
U.R.A Fever
Walk you to the counter
What do you got to offer
Pick you out a soda
Look at you forever
Walk you to the water
Your eyes like a casino
You ain't born typical
Find a piece of silver
Pretty as a diagram
Go down to the Rio
Put it in my left hand
Put it in a fruit machine
Everyone's a winner
Laughing like a seagull
You are a fever
You are a fever
You ain't born typical
You are a fever
You are a fever
You ain't born typical
Living in a suitcase
Meet a clown, fall in love
Been dying to have you over
Clown around and break up
Take you to a jukebox
That's the situation
Pick you out a number
That's our arrangement
Dancing on the legs of a new-born pony
Left right left right
Keep it up son
Go ahead and have her
Go ahead and leave her
You only ever had her
When you were a fever
I am a fever

I ain't born typical

Cheap And Cheerful
I'm bored of cheap and cheerful
I want expensive sadness
Hospital bills, parole
Open doors to madness
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane
I'm sick of social graces
Show your sharp-tipped teeth
Lose your cool in public
Dig that illegal meat
'Cause love is just a dialogue
You can't survive on ice-cream
You got to same needs as a dog
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

Getting Down
It's going on five
I want you to know
My spirit's alive
I want you to know
I'm getting down with the awkward moments
I'm getting down with the sour kiss
I'm getting down with the rumours in the back of the car
I'm getting down with it
Signal when you get to the top
Signal when you want me
When you want me to stop
We could, we could crash
We could, we could, burn burn
We could take it
We could, we could take it take it in turns
Getting down
I'm getting down with your new vocation
I'm getting down with your cute cut wrist
I'm getting down with the kisses and cross-stitches on it
I'm getting down with it
Here's a message from my old coat pocket
My spirit's alive and
I want you to know
I'm getting down with the young drunk lovers
I'm getting down with the one-way pact
I'm getting down with the city and the pity of it
I'm getting down with it
Last Day Of Magic
We’re two parties
Two parties ending
What if you move
What if you hide
There's only so much you can miss
Before we both collide
My little tornado
My little hurricano
Last day of magic
Where are you
My little tornado
My little hurricano
We’re two parties
Two parties ending
I'll be the man with the broom
If you'll be the guts of the room
And there's only so much you can hide
Before I corner you
Last day of magic
Where are you
My little tornado
My little hurricano
Last day of magic
Coming through
The eye of the storm
And I hold on to
My little tornado
My little hurricano
I'll be the man with the broom
If you'll be the guts of the room
And there's only so much you can hide
Before I corner you
Last day of magic
Put a hole right through
The eye of the storm
In a single room
My little tornado
My little hurricano
Calvary come
Calvary go
Calvary leave me alone, oh, oh, oh
My little serenado
My little cococaino
Last day of magic
Where are you
My little tornado
My little hurricano
Hook and line
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I'm still blown away
With your hook and line I still blow away
Try your best in your heavy shape
Keep it quiet, keep it cool
Lipstick letters and souvenirs
Make a mockery of your fears
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I'm still blown away
With your hook and line I still blow away
Try your best to make it matter
Tattoo it in the clouds above you
Nail it down with jealous bones
Till it goes like a feather off on it's own
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I'm still blown away
With your hook and line I still blow away
A pawn
A shove
An eerie love
A whip
A crack
You won't come back
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I'm still blown away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I'm still blown away
With your hook and line I still blow away
Black Balloon
Elevator straight into my skull
The escalator rises as it falls
I swear our jet is crashing in my mind
You can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time
Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon
I've stood in a thousand street scenes
Just around the corner from you
On the edge of a dream that you have
Has anybody ever told you, it's not coming true
Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon
Has the weather had its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Has the weather had its way with you
Farewell my black balloon...
M.E.X.I.C.O.C.U
Running into trouble
Running into trouble
You've got heavenly eyes
Thousand highs
Always on a mission
It's not loving, it's not kissing
It's the heavenly ride
You still got wheels, kid
If I go missing
Don't you worry for me
I'm just writing
My side of the story
Just like Jackie
I'm biting my lips
Scoring my mind
With whatever I can find
I'm going down the coast
To M.E.X.I.C.O, see you
I'm going down the coast
To M.E.X.I.C.O, see you
I'm going down the coast
To M.E.X.I.C.O, see you
Shout when you wanna get off the
ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
'Cause it crossed my mind
It crossed my mind
Made my blood thump 7-8-9
Make my heart beat double time
Now I'm only sour cherry on the fruit stand, right
Am I the only sour cherry on the fruit stand
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
'Cause it crossed my mind
It crossed my mind
I'm a penny in a diamond mine
We could be movers
We could be shakers
If we could just shake something out of the blue
And get off the ride
Now I'm the only sour cherry on the fruit stand, right
Am I the only sour cherry on the fruit stand
If I'm the only sour cherry on your fruit stand right
Am I the only sour cherry on your fruit stand

And get something that we can drink
He's the alphabet pony
Oh he's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
What New York Used To Be
Coma comma drama come on
Draw it, scratch it, say it, say it
Make it to the bottom ladder climb it
Drop an apple off the top it stop it
I don't want to eat it
Need it, know it, force it, feed it, leave it, be it
Just keep it in its box
What easy used to be
What love used to be
What drugs used to be
What TV used to be
What music used to be
What luck used to be
What art used to be
What you used to be
Coma comma drama come on
Drawl your skin your mile longer
Love song sure it tells the future
Fingers crushed and run em' under water
Shark infested sea of secrets in the open fire
Beat it, don't believe it
Just keep it in its box
What easy used to be
What fun used to be
What dreaming used to be
What fame used to be
What the city used to be
What fast used to be
What low used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
Come, come, come on
Come, come, come on
???
The Speeds working I see it in everyone
Like a lost idea under lightbulb sun
Your eyes ready for take off melt in your hand
What a beautiful state we are in
The jailers in my mind are all dead
I love you so much, never forget
All of our secrets are coming undone
What a beautiful state we are in
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight another bad morning
Future Starts Slow
You can holler, you can wail
You can swing, you can flail
You can thump like a broken sail
But I'll never give you up
If I ever give you up my heart will surely fail
And after all God can keep my soul
And England have my bones
But don't ever give me up
I could never get back up when the future starts so slow
No longing for the moonlight
No longing for the sun
No longer will I curse the bad I've done
For if there's a time when your feelings gone, I wanna feel it
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can swing, you can flail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
(I don't mind)
There's a time for the second best
And there's a time when the feeling's gone
But it's hard to be hard I guess
When you're shaking like a dog
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can swing, you can flail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can swing, you can flail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
(I don't mind)
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
Satellite
Lost her behind the station
Lost her behind the moon
Operator, operator dial her back
Operator put me through
The satellite gave up the ghost too soon
Rising on the thermals
She's falling in and out the blue
Carried her off on a silver spoon
I've loved her too long
Don't take her too
Oh how he crossed, Old man fate
Your path and mine on a satellite
Oh the mess a little time makes to us
When time and place collide
Operator, operator dial her back
Operator, operator don't take her too
I've loved her too long
Don't love her too...
Heart Is A Beating Drum
Looking in the mirror
Looking back
A look of wild living
Bound to crack
The heart is a beating drum
The heart is a beating drum
It takes more than you wanted before
To keep it on
Howling at the future
Won't you be fast and full
All the noise and hot crossed veins
You, you got in you
Send your love in a rampage
Give her everything you got
And when you come to hate her
Show her more than just a spark
Cause the heart is a beating drum
The heart is a beating drum
It takes more than you wanted before
To keep it on, it's a beating
The heart is a beating drum
The heart is a beating drum
It takes more than you wanted before
To keep it on, it's a beating drum
And you feel like you been here
So many times before
It's not the door you're using
But the way you're walking through it
If you feel like you been here
So many times before
It's not the door you're using
But the way you're walking through it
Cause the heart is a beating drum
The heart is a beating drum
It takes more than you wanted before
To keep it on, it's a beating
The heart is a beating drum
The heart is a beating drum
It takes more than you wanted before
To keep it on
It takes more than you wanted before
To keep it on
Nail In My Coffin
I am no better at this than you are
Unfinished business maybe, due love
I can't change myself into you dear
What you are to me is far too unclear
Could be a nail in my coffin and I don't need another one
Could be a nail in my coffin and lord knows I ain't ready yet
Could be a nail in my coffin and I don't need another one
Could be a line I'm crossing that I ain't ever gonna get back from
I am no better at this than you are
Loneliness never truly leaves me alone
I have made mistakes I can't take back home
I love you just not the way you want
Could be a nail in my coffin and I don't need another one
Could be a nail in my coffin and lord knows I ain't ready yet
Could be a nail in my coffin and I don't need another one
Could be a line I'm crossing that I ain't ever gonna get back from
Could be a nail in my coffin and I don't need another one
Could be a nail in my coffin and lord knows I ain't ready yet
Could be a nail in my coffin and I don't need another one
Could be a line I'm crossing that I ain't ever gonna get back from
Could be a nail in my coffin and I don't need another one
Could be a nail in my coffin and lord knows I ain't ready yet
Could be a nail in my coffin and I don't need another one
Could be a line I'm crossing that I ain't ever gonna get back from
To the doting boys by your side
Riding roughshod on your starless nights
To she who played concertos, foul and black
Upon my heartstrings and never looked back
What became of those wild charms
The deep fry of the tide
The tug of the stars
How it stirs me, how it stirs me now
To think my fire burnt them out
DNA
When it came to pass
Glory passed me by
And fate with a single blow
Has custard pied me now
True I had my chance
True true true I had those wild charms for you
But oh oh oh oh how my fire burnt them out
And we will not be moved by it
We will not be moved by it.
Your mind would never ache
When you were young and sound
The way your heart aches now
Your fears sent them all to ground
Love love love till you've got enough
Dance dance dance if you've got no love around you
Love love love till you've got enough
Dance dance dance till there's no one left to hound you
We will not be moved by it
We will not be moved by it
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Love love love till you've got enough
Dance dance dance if you've got no love around you
Love love love till you've got enough
Dance dance dance till there's no one left to hound you
We will not be moved by it
We will not be moved by it
We will not be moved by it
We will not be moved by it
Baby Says
Baby says she's dying to meet you
Take you off and make your blood hum
And tremble like the fairground lights
Baby says if ever you see skin as fair
Or eyes as deep and as black as mine
I'll know you're lying
Baby says a howl of romance I'll get
From all you sleeping dogs
You thugs of god
I'll get one yet
Baby says for all I've forsaken
Make something of all the noise
And the mess you're making
And all the time it's taken
Baby says there's death in these silver curls
They’ll break open jails
And send you diving for pearls
Without a care in the world
Baby says she's dying to meet you
Take you off and make your blood hum
And tremble like the pinball lights
And baby says a howl of romance I get
From all you sleeping dogs
You thugs of god
I'll get one yet
The Last Goodbye
It's the last goodbye, I swear
I can't rely on a dime-a-day love
That don't go anywhere
I'll learn to cry for someone else
I can't get by on an odds and ends love
That don't ever match up
I heard all you said
And I took it to heart
I won't forget, I swear
I have no regrets
For the past is behind me
Tomorrow reminds me just where
Can't quite see the end
How can I rely on my heart if I break it
With my own two hands
I heard all you said
And I love you to death
I heard all you said
Don't say anything
It's the last goodbye, I swear
I can't survive on a half-hearted love
That will never be whole
Damned If She Do
She damned if she do
She damned if she don't
If history hang, hang, hangs her well
Her memory won't
It's been a procession of
Sweethearts passing through
Some of them left no trace at all
And some left her black and blue
But she come alive when she dying
She come alive when she dying
She come alive when she on her last legs
She come alive when she dying
She come alive when she on her last legs
She damned if she will
She damned if she won't
Some of them left in one piece
And some she damn near broke
Now I am no stranger to the strange
And all his ways
But what can be stranger than
To be stuck outside your cage
She come alive when she dying
She come alive when she dying
She come alive when she on her last legs
She come alive when she dying
She come alive when she dying
She come alive when she on her deathbed
She come alive when she on her deathbed
She come alive when she dying
She come alive when she dying
She come alive when she on her last legs
She come alive when she dying
She come alive when she on her deathbed
She come alive when she on her deathbed
She come alive when she dying
She come alive when she dying
She come alive when she dying
She come alive when she dying
You
Don't Own The Road
You don't own the road boy
Better kick up a storm
You don't own the big city lights
Better carve out your own
You don't own the green pines,
The blue sky, or the smoke
You don't own the dust in your
Big brown eyes when you keep them closed
Yeah, steal them back for me love
Oh yeah, steal them back for me love, oh yeah
You don't own the road boy
And neither do I
You don't own the big city lights
Making my eyes cry
You don't own the green pines
So be careful where you lean
And when you're lost under the blue sky
Look down and you'll find me
Yeah, steal it back for me love
Oh yeah steal it back for me love, oh yeah
Come on over
If that's the way you feel
When you're lonesome steal it
Back when you're lonely
Back when you're lonely, back
You don't own the sadness son
See the tide just comes in
Guilt is played on the violin
By those who never cared to sing
Yeah, steal it back for me love
Oh yeah, steal it back for me love, back for me love
Oh yeah, steal it back for me love, back for me love
Oh yeah, steal it back for me love, back for me love
Back for me love
Back for me love
Pots and Pans
I can't find enough pots and pans
Let alone knives in my kitchen
To keep you cooking
I can't find enough love in my heart
Let alone in my bones
To keep you standing
Ain't enough salt in the ocean
That care enough to keep you floating
Ain't a drop left in my tank
To move move move your dead weight
I ain't joking
You're so good
I ain't joking when I said
You're so good
I can't find enough pots and pans
Let alone knives in my kitchen
To keep you cooking
To keep you cooking
I can't find enough love in my heart
Let alone in my bones
To keep you standing
These are the days we'll never forget
When the dawn, dawns on you
Doing It To
Death
Baby save it, we're wasted
I know we gotta slow it down
But when the waves come, you face them
And you know we can't stop it now
Head's up, we're in a dead club
Put your hands up
Do your dips and your drops and your whine up
We're hanging up
Double sixing it night after night
You copy you paste you lose
We're doing it to death
Doing it to death
Baby lately, the plans we're making
Are the shape of things that never come
Hold your horses, the light's up
Can you feel it coming back around
Listen up, it's picking up
Put your hands up
Do your kicks and your lips and your time's up
We're hanging up
Double six'ing the night 'cause tonight
We're doing it to death
Doing it to death
We're double sixing it
Night after night after night
We're double sixing it
Night after night after night
We're double sixing it
Night after night after night
Doing it to death
Doing it to death
Doing it to death
Doing it to death...
Heart of a Dog
From sea to mountain valley
From flesh to palms a' swaying
Dreamers dreaming on
No matter what they're saying
I need you
Don't ask me why it is
I want strings attached
Unnatural as it feels
I'm loyal
Oh, oh
I'm loyal
From starry eyes colliding
From Mars to someone crying
I'm never far away
No matter what I'm hiding
You copy you paste you lose
I get lost
But I always come around
It's a strange fear
Allows me to be found
I'm loyal, oh oh, I'm loyal
I'm loyal, oh oh
I got the heart of a dog, hey
It's life or death why I chew through the chain
It don't matter my love's the same
Go so far but never long
Can't break the spell in my heart
I'm loyal, oh oh, I'm loyal
I'm loyal, oh oh
I got the heart of a dog
From bars to beds of laying
From boots of lead to changing
I'm hooked from deep inside
Call when you're ready 'cause I'm ready to ride
I'm loyal, oh oh
I'm loyal, oh oh
I got the heart of a dog
You're really getting close to me
So far so close to me
So point me to a Yes No Yes No Yes
Don't tell me maybe
You think you're there to hold my hair
To come and drag me home
You think you're gonna dress me up from head to toe
And then I'll go
You copy you paste you lose
Well I'm a hard hard habit to break
I'm a hard hard habit to break
Your mind's playing tricks on me
You got me where you want me
I'm going left right left right left
Right through the city
And I can's get enough of the heat
And I can't shake it off in a beat
You gotta fix me up or let me go
And I'll quit
It's a hard hard habit to break
It's a hard hard habit to break
Hard hard habit to break
It's a hard hard habit to break
It's a hard hard habit to break
It's a hard hard habit to break
Hard hard habit to break
It's a hard hard habit to break
Always talking about change
What change, what change
Maybe when the lights fade, maybe it's my mistake
(It's a hard hard habit to break)
Always talking about change
What change, what change
Maybe when the lights fade, maybe it's my mistake
(It's a hard hard habit to break)
Always talking about change
What change, what change
Maybe when the lights fade, maybe it's my mistake
Cut your branches at the root
That long have grown that bitter fruit
Cut your branches at the root
That only gave me bitter fruit
You copy you paste you lose
I was conceived in a red cage, from a wild love
I am the seed of a dead age, gone viral
Those feelings I've tried to shake, all my life long
But the demons I'm keeping are hard to face
When you hide them, so long
I gotta cut you at the root
I gotta save my soul from the bad in you
I gotta cut you through and through
You only ever gave me bitter fruit
Oh and it grew like a shockwave
And I was blindsided, oh oh
The fruit that your love gave
Poisoned my mind up, oh oh
I cut your branches at the root
I gotta save my soul from the things you do
I cut your branches through and through
But still I only taste that bitter fruit
Down to the bone
All my love was cut in a single blow
Gone, and I know
All my love was cut in the seed I sowed
I could pray, but can't you see
The kind of things I pray for are cursing me
I could pray, but can't you see
The kind of things I pray for
The kind of things I need
I cut your branches at the root
That only ever gave me bitter fruit
I cut your branches through and through
But still I only taste that bitter fruit
I could pray, but can't you see
The kind of things I pray for are cursing me
I could pray, but can't you see
The kind of things I pray for
The kind of things I need
Cut your branches at the root
That long have grown that bitter fruit
Cut your branches at the root
That only gave me bitter fruit
Cut your branches at the root
That long have grown that bitter fruit
Cut your branches at the root
That only gave me bitter fruit
Days Of Why And How
Something you're doing ain't doing me good
I can feel it in my blood
Thunderstruck
Wheel spun
I'll believe anyone
You copy you paste you lose
Always looking, never found
How I'm keeping my head down
These days of why and how, get so hard
I'm not saying another word
When I hear your name
It's like a freight train
Shake, shake, shake, shake
Shaking me, off my tracks
The one acting a fool is not
I can feel it in my heart
Silence is the loudest shot
A train passing in the dark
All I do is wonder why
Why and how you leave me every night
When I hear your name
It's like a freight train
Shake, shake, shake, shake
Shaking me, off my tracks
When I hear your name
It's like a freight train
Shake, shake, shake, shake
Shaking me, off my tracks
When I hear your name
It's like a freight train
Shake, shake, shake, shake
Shaking me, off my tracks
When I hear your name
It's like a freight train
Shake, shake, shake, shake
Shaking me, off my tracks
Let it drop
You give me the shakes
You give me the cold sweats
You're giving me reasons to turn my teardrops
Into death threats
You're going straight to machine
So I kiss my brothers
I never took off my chains
They never took my colors
You copy you paste you lose
Take 'em on in the morning love
I'm digging deep for my Midas touch
We could be chasing the waves
I know it isn't much
Let it drop
Let it drop
Let it drop
People don't make it easy
Let it drop
Let it drop drop drop
People don't make it easy
Let it drop
Isn't it strange
The way you move me so
You love me with hot hammers
And then your blood runs cold
For my next trick
Gonna be loke where she go
Make an exit
Like adios amigos
It got too complicated
Cool it down and refrigerate it
We could be lassoing the stars
But people don't make it easy
Let it drop
Let it drop drop
Let it drop
Let it drop
People don't make it easy
Let it drop
Let it drop drop drop
Let it drop
People don't make it easy
Let it drop
Let it drop
Let it drop drop drop
Let it drop
People don't make it easy
Hum For Your Buzz
Will you call on me
If I turn my back on you
Fall into the river
Just keep on swimming
I'm looking for
Answers to my wishes and my prayers
You missed most of the words
When I said them
I am a believer
Right on the brink of thinking
I can not be so easily
Brought to my knees
So baby, you need to
Row your boat
A little bit faster now
Or turn around and I'll be
A stranger in the crowd
I'm a believer now but I ain't thinking straight
And I ain't gonna wait for the sun to set
One more time
I am a believer
Right on the brink of thinking
I can not be so easily
Brought to my knees
So baby
You copy you paste you lose
Go for broke
Go lay lay yourself down on the road
Let hell pay your way
As you sit there and smoke
Drink and day dream
I'm a vision you looked for so long
At your door sweetheart
My ears are ringing, ring ringing
Like my mind is gone
I am a believer
But the received is off
Sat on the floor
The hum and the buzz
I can't take it no more
I am a believer
But the received is off
Sat on the floor
The hum and the buzz
I can't take it no more
Siberian Nights
I could whip you up like cream
I could drink your seven seas
Is that too close for comfort
I could make you come in threes
I'm half way to my knees
Am I too close for comfort
For the tyrants in a rut, I got a love
For the gutless dogs, I got a love
For the doomed youth, I got a love
Won't you tell me please
Why they got no love for me
Won't you tell me please
Why they show no love for me
You copy you paste you lose
I'll be charging through your dreams
Riding bare chest silver steed
Am I too close to the bone
Shake a little hup two three
I'm Jesus, rip my jeans
Am I too close for comfort
For the millionth time, I got a love
For the blue eyed boys, I got a love
For the cruel youth, I got a love
Won't you tell me please
Why they got no love for me
Won't you tell me please
Why they show no love for me
Won't you help me get through these Siberian nights
Won't you help me get through these Siberian nights
You know it's hard for me to be alone
Tomorrow we'll go back to our sides
But tonight I need some warmth
That
Love
Will you or won't you cross that road in time
Will you or won't you outrun
What you know you must
You copy you paste you lose
It's over now
It's over now
That love you're in
Is fucked up
Will you or won't you land soflty down
Will you or won't you be around
It's over now
It's over now
That love you're in
Is all fucked up
That love is done
If you get a minute
You can find a whole day and think
Let somebody in that ain't
Cutting like a snake
The thump of the red blooded heart
Is trumped by the art of war
Try the truth and test it before
You lose sight of the shore
It's over now
It's over now
That love you're in
Is a fucking joke
That love
Impossible Tracks
I was carried away
I was carried away
I was moving too fast on impossible tracks
I was carried away
I was easily led
Because I'm easily led
By the moon, by the tide, by whatever you like
I'm just so easily led
Oh my shaking heart
You got me from the start
You got me good
Aim and take a shot
You got me til I drop
Like I knew you would
Oh you get what you give
I don't regret what I did
Well if a real live liar can set you on fire
Then don't you settle for it
Oh don't you take me all this way
To bring me back to earth one day
I'm gonna roll on back on impossible tracks
And get carried away
Oh my shaking heart
You got me from the start
You got me good
You aimed and then you shot
You got me on the spot
Like I knew you would
Oh my shaking heart
You got me from the start
You got me good
You aimed and then you shot
Now I'm coming apart
Like I knew I would
Like I knew I would
There's a full moon over Sunset
Got our feet in perfect stride
And we walk in perfect meter
While we hold our smiles inside
You copy you paste you lose
And we hold our smiles inside
Like we're holding back the tide
And we stride in perfect meter
Like the sun won't ever rise
Oh my shaking heart
You got me from the start
You got me good
You aimed and then you shot
You got me on the spot
I knew you would
Oh my shaking heart
You got me from the start
You got me good
You aimed and then you shot
Now I'm coming apart
Like I knew I would
I knew I would
Black Tar
One hit, one invention
You must pay your ransom
Love, lust, you're too handsome
Fairytales are fair game
The world is looking for you
Sharpening its blade
London's bloodthirsty
Paris is a vein, open
A vein on the pulse of mean
Big brushing out-winged sparrow
I'm gonna catch you by the hair of the night
Fortune's arrow
Prick quick to pick a fight
You copy you paste you lose
The world is tripping for you
Bidding on your blood
L.A. Catatonia
New York black tar runs, over
Runs over you for fun
Big brushing out-winged sparrow
Hot cooking all De Niro Light
Tucked, prim and primed
If chance were so divine, why
Coold thing go mad and crazy
Some dick is looking for a way
White screen field of daisies
Pull em up, but they all stay
Standing in your way
Stay, standing in your way
Echo Home
I'm flowing with the waters
I'm spinning into orbit
So won't you come on home
And make it alright
I'm drifting in the same old boat
With a different crew
So won't you come on home
And make it alright
Won't you echo back
And make it fine
Maybe you'll go out of your mind
You can lose it all if you wanna
Maybe you'll go out of mine
It's been so long
You can keep your own dear life
You can lose it all if you wanna
But I can't keep you out of mine, oh no
We were dancing to a beat of our own
Flying with our speakers blown
Oh won't you come on back
And make it alright
And if I take a turn for the worst
And I call you on the phone
Will you echo home when I call
Won't you echo back and make it alright
Won't you echo home and make me fine
Maybe you went out of your mind
You can lose it all if you wanna
Maybe you went out of mine
It's been so long
You can live your own dear life
You can lose it all if you wanna
But I can't let you out of mine, oh no
You copy you paste you lose
And it's a long long long long drop
From the rocks to the pearls, we got so lost
We got so lost, we got so lost
For so long
And it's a long long long long drop
From the rocks to the pearls, we got so lost
We got so lost, we got so lost
For so long, for so long, so long
For so long, oh
Maybe you went out of your mind
You can lose it all if you wanna
Maybe you went out of mine
It's been so long
You can live your own dear life
And you can lose it all if you wanna
But I can't let you out of mine, oh no
I'm flowing with the waters
I'm spinning into orbit
So won't you come on home
And make it alright
So won't you come on home
And make it fine
Whirling eye
Hollywood, 2 A.M
Questioning everything
Neon red, white and blue
Catching up with you
Got a dream, doesn't mean
You know what to do
You copy you paste you lose
You watch me like a hawk
Do you need what I got
You find yourself alone inside
A mirror and a kiss
What you want is hard to find
And it's hard to miss
Get the vision, get the vision
Get the vision, come on
Get the vision, get the vision
Get the vision, come on
76. High noon
Revving up your lead balloon
Cruisin' on Ventura fumes
When you need more than a smile
Traffic's rough, oh SOS
In your orbit of desire
Get the vision, get the vision
Get the vision, come on
Get the vision, get the vision
Get the vision, come on
Whirling, whirling, whirling, whirling
Eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye
Whirling, whirling, whirling, whirling
Eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye
Get the vision, get the vision
Get the vision, come on
Get the vision, get the vision
Get the vision, come on
Superpowerless
Take a drink of my red wine
I've got enough to go around
Take a drink of mine
I've got enough to go around
'Til you're drunk, 'til you're high
'Til you're fake, ‘til you're crushed
'Til you're drunk, 'til you're high
'Til you're fake, ‘til you're crushed
Come into my shipwreck
Half the time we just sit around
Talking shit over sour milk
Waiting for the rain to come down
'Til you're drunk, 'til you're high
'Til you're fake, ‘til you're crushed
‘Til you're red, ‘til you're superpowerless
'Til you're drunk, 'til you're high
'Til you're fake, ‘til you're crushed
‘Til you're red, 'til you're superpowerless
Take the weight off my mind
I’ve got enough to slow you down
Take a cut of mine-oh-mine
I've got enough to go around
Leave me when you're giving in
When you're last little lie is out
I'll show you just how dark it gets
When the sun really does go down
'Til you're drunk, 'til you're high
'Til you're fake, ‘til you're crushed
‘Til you're red, 'til you're superpowerless
'Til you're drunk, 'til you're high
'Til you're fake, ‘til you're crushed
‘Til you're red, 'til you're superpowerless
'Til you're drunk, 'til you're high
'Til you're fake, ‘til you're crushed
‘Til you're dead, 'til you're superpowerless
'Til you're drunk, 'til you're high
'Til you're fake, ‘til you're crushed
‘Til you're dead, 'til you're superpowerless
Everything is okay
If everything stays the same
'Til you're drunk, 'til you're high
'Til you're fake, ‘til you're crushed
‘Til you're red, 'til you're superpowerless
'Til you're drunk, 'til you're high
'Til you're fake, ‘til you're crushed
‘Til you're red, 'til you're superpowerless
'Til you're drunk, 'til you're high
'Til you're fake, ‘til you're crushed
‘Til you're red, 'til you're superpowerless
'Til you're drunk, 'til you're high
'Til you're fake, ‘til you're crushed
‘Til you're red, 'til you're superpowerless
Passion Is
Accurate
( Run Home Slow EP )
I engineered a heavy heart
You carried the weight of it
I engineered the awkward look
You carry a trace of it
My passion is accurate
My passion is accurate
I engineered the long silence
I engineered the bored kiss
I calculated the nights you missed
You carried the weight of it
My passion is accurate
My passion is accurate
I move in mathematician fashion
I move the problem around a fraction
My passion is accurate
You carried the weight of it
My passion is accurate
My passion is accurate
My passion is accurate
My passion is accurate

This kiss that you gave me is so pretty
This kiss that you gave me oh not mine
You give me meals and it’s your mouth
You give me meals of yourself
This kiss that you gave me is gonna kill me
This kiss that you gave me is oh not nice
You give me meals to keep me feeling
You give me meals to keep me sweet and
Kiss the wrong side
Kiss the wrong side
This kiss that you gave me is so pretty
This kiss that you gave me oh not mine
You give me meals to keep me feeling
You give me meals to keep me sweet and
Kiss the wrong side
Kiss the wrong side
Kiss the wrong side
Raise Me
(Demo)
Honey, won't you raise me
Bring me up right
See me down here on my knees
I'm in a bad way, and you know why
So get down here next to me
Send me a whisper in the morning
Show your shadow by sundown
Any sign that
In time
Things may turn around
You and I can go where the wind takes us
You and I can go away
You and I can go where the waves break us
You and I would be ok
Cos you're my Holy communion
But I don't got a dime to spare
I pledge allegiance I been trusting
On your good will that you care
'Cause there's a pushing and a pulling
You know I feel so ill at ease
You see the highway man hides his dirty hands
But his gaze is sеt on me
Oh please don't hurt mе
If you don't have to
Not a lot of good it'd do
You know I suffer long
Don't make it linger on
When all I need is you
You and I can go where the wind takes us
You and I can go away
You and I can go where the waves break us
You and I would be ok
You and I can move where the ground shakes us
You and I can move around
You and I can sleep where the sun sets us
You and I would sleep so sound
You and I can go where the wind takes us
You and I can go away
You and I can go where the waves break us
You and I would be ok
You and I can move where the ground shakes us
You and I can move around
You and I can sleep where the sun sets us
You and I would sleep so sound
Night Train
( Midnight Boom I-tunes bonus track )
Sleep tight on the night train, no pain
I don't remember
Won't a couple of years do some good for you
No your eyes got bigger
All my lovers take the train
All my lovers, all my lovers
Half Of Us
The night, after the night
After the night is gone
And after they're gone
After they're gone, they're gone
And half of us is lovers missing lovers
And half of us is lovers missing out
And after the night, after the night
The eye of the storm in your mouth and you're gone
And after they're gone, after they're gone, it's out
And half of us is lovers losing lovers
And half of us is lovers losing out
The heartbroken sound of my town
Beats the heartbreaking sound of your town
After they're gone, after they're gone
After they're gone, they're gone
A happy accident
The eye of the storm in your mouth
A happy house
And half of us is lovers missing lovers
And half of us is lovers missing out
Happy now
The heartbroken sound of my town
Beats the heartbreaking sound of your town
The heartbroken sound of my town
Beats the heartbreaking sound of your town…

I wonder, wondered, no wonder
The weakest, the cheapest, hangover
In the end, foe or friend, live apart
Call it hate, call it love, I call it art
A no good, a no one, a no show
A too much, perfection, to say no
In the end, foe or friend, live apart
Call it hate, call it love, I call it art
In the end, foe or friend, live
apart
Call it hate, call it love, call it art
I wonder, I wondered, no wonder
The weakest, the cheapest, hangover
In the end, foe or friend, live apart
Call it hate, call it love, call it art
Forty Four
( Howlin' Wolf Cover )
I wore my .44 so long
I've made my shoulder sore
I wore my .44 so long
I done made my shoulder sore
Well, I'm wondering everybody
Where'd my baby go
Well, I'm so mad this morning
I don't know where in the world to go
Well, I'm so mad this morning
I don't know where in the world to go
I'm looking for me some money
Pawned gun to have some gold
Well, I'm so mad this morning
I don't know where in the world to go
Well, I'm so mad this morning
I don't know where in the world to go
I'm looking for me some money
Pawned gun to have some gold
One eye in the sun, one in the
night
Sleep tight, sleepwalk like honey, honey
O my capital I LOVE U
Put it in a letter honey
I could kiss you underwater
I could in the rearview mirror
X.O, took my heart and crossed it
Set it down and lost it
Set it down and lost it
Say it again...
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter
One eye in the sun, one eye in the night
Sleep tight, sleepwalk like honey, honey
When you want me, you got me where you want me again
Say it again!
If it's personal, say it again!
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out
You got one eye as white as a bride
The other eye, as black as the devil
It's alright!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Crossed wires, sparking a little
Start a house fire with us in the middle
It's alright!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter
( Jonathan Fire Eater Cover )
In every car that passes me on the
street
I search for the particular face
The lipstick trembles under boomlights
The lipstick my own brothers only trace
Was the birthday birthday ashtray
Carried all along this way now
It was a gift from my little sister
On the very same day they took her away
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside your head
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside
In Hollywood I got the phone call
That made my heart and my limosine stall
Falling down in the hotel hall again
Little drunk from the Warners' Christmas ball
Cut by love and cut by switchblade
He's been gone nearly half a decade
Cut by love and cut by switchblade
He's been gone nearly half a decade
I still remember my brother
I see his face on the billboards
And the polaroids that stayed on my pillow 'til they faded
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside your head
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside your head
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside
I took a little of the middle of a
magazine
Wrote it out on a blank sheet
Signed my name and made the crease
It may be my greatest piece
I think I think it's gonna sell
Promise me you'll never tell
Trust me it will be a breeze
It's so easy to please
Ok stop, ok stop, ok, ok stop, ok stop, ok stop
Now everything's going really good
Since I left the neighborhood
Broken Window, no big deal
Most people think that I'm for real
I'm cool now I got the look
I think it's time to do a book
I read one that I really like
But it'll take some time to retype
Ok stop, ok stop, ok, ok stop, ok stop, ok stop
Ok stop, ok stop, ok, ok stop, ok stop, ok stop
So many parties to attend
I look great I can see no end
I think I think I got a steal
Everybody thinks that I'm for real
Ok stop, ok stop, ok, ok stop, ok stop, ok stop
Ok stop, ok stop, ok, ok stop, ok stop, ok stop
( Future starts slow B-side )
Welcome to a blue moon in the sky
A cruel, shine of blue
Hear the thunder of life driving by guess it’s
Finally on the loose
And I smell too sweet
All the sycamore trees
As the branches collide with your thought
I think
And the neighbourhood cat is calling
He can't sleep
He says the oxygen in the needle and pin has,
Sprung a leak
Well he really took a chance
Crossed his heart hoping to die
He was young and he was happy
At the time, at the time
Seems to me like the cinema
Has returned to its old tricks
Magic loses all its magic
And you know what it really is
The young men who used to
Use the knuckles are gone
But the tadpoles keep on multiplying
Down in the swamp
When the pearly gates do open
Dragging their legs out of spite
Inside a woman sits to greet you
Welcome home, to the night
It’s the last motel
With electric she says
Take a seat while the maid goes on and
Cleans up your mess
Honey, it could take an hour
It could take all year
It could take a century
For your bad name to clear
Welcome to a blue moon in the sky
A cruel, shine of blue
Hear the thunder of life driving by guess it’s
Finally on the loose
*** Thanx a lot to Amy for this one ***
Jewel Thief
Jewel thief where do you get all those pretty necklaces
Jewel thief where do you get all those silver pistols
Jewel thief where do you get all those animal heads
With lovely posture you eat bread carefully chewing when they shot you dead
You look like a mannequin with your mouth full
Don't worry baby i'll take care of you
You got a million horses at your door
You got a feeling that you'll need a million more
I got a million horses of my own
In the evening one by one they carry me home
I'll get your telephone I'll run a comb through your dead thief hair
Tell them you're not home
I'll wear your pretty clothes
And shoot your stolen guns
Jewel thief you and I are gonna be best friends
Baby's Eyes
I'm riding along
Along my baby's eyes
She stares and she don't care
She stares and she don't care
No reasoning with her man
No reason to give her man
When she comes to meet you
She waits it out, out on the corner
With her eyes on your shoulder
And just as you get near
See her smile disappear now
A smile disappears
Well she's on it again
Now now she is on the wind
She was just here now she's gone
She stares and she don't care
She stares and she don't care
She stares and she don't care
She stares and she don't care
I'm riding along
Along my baby's eyes
She stares and she don't care
Oh she stares and she don't care
No reason to give her man
No reasoning with her man
Oh when will she land
See how she ran
She stares and she don't care
She stares and she don't care
She stares and she don't care
She stares and she don't care...
I Put A Spell On You
(Screamin' Jay Hawkins cover)
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Stop the things you do
Watch out
I ain't lying
I can't stand
No loving around
I can't stand
No put me down
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Stop the things you do
Watch out
I ain't lying
I love you
I love you
I love you
Baby, I, I don't care if you want me
I'm yours right now
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Run home slow
You play with the dogs
You lay with the dogs
Like it or not man
You lay with the dogs
Chewin' your fingers
Rottin' your mouth
Fallin' in twenty hours
Just to wait for the sound
It's easily done my friend
It's easily done my friend
And you're wild for the night
And you run home slow
And you're wild for the night
And you run home slow
You lay with the dogs man
You lay with the dogs
Little too long man
You lay with dogs
Chasing the taillight
So jump in the bones
Fallin twenty hours
Till they take you on home
It's easily done my friend
Just take it and run my friend
It's easily done
It's easily done
I'd easily do it again
And you're wild for the night
And you run home slow
And you holler and cry
And you run home slow
And you're hit and you're down
And you run home slow
Little bone head
Took the cherry
Took my twenty
Took my skin
And took my bone
Took a car
And took a hit
And took myself
Far away from home
Took your car
Took your messages
And took a look in
To the wall
Turn around
And took a look again
You took my boots
You took my keys
You took a twenty
Took a ten
You'd take a thousand
If you wanted to
Without calling me again
And you're wild for the night
And you run home slow
And you holler and cry
And you run home slow
And you're hit and you're down
And you run home slow
Little bone head
It's easily done my friend
Just take it and run my friend
It's easily done
It's easily done
I'd easily do it again
And you're wild for the night
And you run home slow
And you holler and cry
And you run home slow
And you bitch and you whine
And you run home slow
Little bone head
Took your car
Took your messages
Took a look
To the wall
Turn around
And took a look again
You took my boots
You took my keys
You took a twenty
Took a ten
You'd take a thousand
If you wanted to
Without calling me again
When you're wild for the night
And you run home slow
When you're wild for the night
And you run home slow
When you're wild for the night
And you run home slow
Little bone head
Little bone head
Little bone head
Little bone head
Little bone head
Weedkiller
One, two, three
All I need
All I need
All I need is one drop of weedkiller
You were once the rose I wanted
You were once a rose to me
You've become a twisted tree now
You've become an ugly beast
All I need (all I need)
All I need (all I need)
All I need
Is a drop of weedkiller
Oh you were my badge of honour
Oh you were my favourite one
But you've become a sour poison
You've become my big problem
All I need (all I need)
All I need (all I need)
All i need is one drop of weedkiller
All I need (all I need)
All I need (all I need)
All i need is one drop of weedkiller
Now I'm done trying to please you
Oh lord I know you'll never be
And if love was wrong to feed you
Maybe death is what you need
All I need (all I need)
All I need (all I need)
All i need is one drop of weedkiller
All I need (all I need)
All I need (all I need)
All i need is one drop of weedkiller
All I need (all I need)
All I need (all I need)
All i need is one drop of weedkiller
All I need (all I need)
All I need (all I need)
All i need is one drop of weedkiller
The Void
Flying too close to the sun
Is this where the earthquakes come from
Walked on with helium legs
Weigh yourself, see what you've done
Every looker keeps you lookin'
No one ever told me there'd be scenes like this
Cruising through the cars
Now will you, what will you fly over us next
Been 'round, I seen the mess
Saluted no replace
There's nothing here for you to know
Beauty in the belly of zero
Every looker keeps you lookin'
Back and forth, lights are patient
Cruising through the cars
Now how will you
No one ever told me there'd be scenes like this
Every looker keeps you lookin'
Cruising through the cars now
How will you, what will you fly over us next
No one ever told me there'd be scenes like this
What's it taste like
What's it taste like now
What's it taste like
What's it taste like now
Every looker keeps you lookin'
Cruising through the cars now
How will you, what will you fly over us next
No one ever told me there'd be scenes like this
What will you fly over us next
No one ever told me there'd be scenes like this
What will you fly over us next
No one ever told me there'd be scenes like this
Sugar Baby
Got no sugar baby now
It's all I can do for to see peace with you
And I can't get along this a-way
Oh, i can't get along this a-way
All I can do, all I can say
Gonna send you to your mama next payday
Send you to your mama next payday
Who'll rock the cradle, who'll sing the song
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone
I'll rock the cradle, I'll sing the song
I'll rock the cradle when you're gone
I'll rock the cradle when you're gone
Oh I've got no honey baby now
Oh I've got no honey baby now

Said all I can say, all I can do
And I can't make a living with you
Can't make a living with you
New York
Wait for me, stay for me
You medicate my bad days
Hit all my highways
Speed for me, bleed for me
Steal me away from all the bad guys
'Cause I'm nice
Down here on the Bowery
The city's got me feelin' high
Got me where you want me
In your midnight eve
Always remember, honey
When you need a ride
You got me, got me, got me going'
Got me runnin' wild, 'cause
Yeah, you taste just like New York
Before a storm takes hold
You race likе you are high and armed
And I'm alarmed
But, yеah, I bust my lips on yours
How sweet, the night is dark enough
We're only seeing stars
You're made for me, come back, babe
Leave a knife in the heart of me
Every time you go
I can't keep my eyes on the road, oh-oh-oh
I'm awake and wantin', I'ma take something
Let it be you, you, you, you
Yeah. you taste just like New York
Before a storm takes hold
You race like you are high and armed
And I'm alarmed
But, yeah, I bust my lips on yours
How sweet, the night is dark enough

Rippin' from the deepest root of me
It's easy for you to see
You got me where you want me
Boom, boom, boom
What you do, do, do to me
Rippin' from the deepest root of me
It's easy for you to see
You got me where you want me
Yeah, you taste just like New York
Before a storm takes hold
You race like you are high and armed
And I'm alarmed
But, yeah, I bust my lips on yours

And I'm alarmed
But, yeah, I bust my lips on yours
How sweet, the night is dark enough
We're only seein' stars
Going To
Heaven
Slow dancing with a bottle of lightning
Breaking down your thunder striking
Moving like my body double
You flash your bread and butter
I'll stay and meet them after
Be right back
I'm going to Heaven
Be right back
I'm going to Heaven
Kiss me, and I hear the band marching loud
About to rip my big bad heart out
Moving like a river of trouble crossing
Moving like I can't help it
Be right back
I'm going to Heaven
Be right back
I'm going to Heaven
Be right back
I'm going to Heaven
Be right back
I'm gonna raise Hell
I've been gone for a minute
I've been lost for a minute
I've been ghost for a minute
I've been on it for a minute
Don't panic
Don't panic
I've been off it for a minute
Let me finish
Let me finish
Not gonna talk
Just gonna feel it
Be right back
Be right back
Going to Heaven
Be right back
Be right back
I've been gone for a minute
I've been lost for a minute
I've been ghost for a minute
I've been on it for a minute
Don't panic
Don't panic
I've been off it for a minute
But in spirit
But in spirit
If you let me finish
I'll be right back
I'm going to Heaven
Be right back
I'm going to Heaven
Be right back
I'm going to Heaven
Be right back
I'm gonna raise Hell
Be right back
Be right back
Be right back
Be right back
I'm going to Heaven
Going to Heaven
Going to Hell
I'm going to Heaven
LA Hex
Caught up in all of the drama and all of the fuss
I was day-dreaming of a hundred
Caught up in all of the drama and all of the fuss
Caught by the LA hex hanging above us
Like a drone, like a God
Magicking she into something I don't know what
I don't know what
But I know that once I was fresh blood
And now I know that I'm not
I still got my ways you know
I still got my ways
I still got my ways you know
1, 2, 3 or 4
The city got witchy all of a sudden
All of the blocks dried up and lost
Like you and me
On rough seas
Coast yachts
Bumping alone in the docks
And still all these girls want your pity
Like non-stop
It's hard to watch
You all smitten and twitching
With butterflies in your cock
Hitting your PIN til you drop
I mean
Whatever armor you got
I guess I mean
Whatever armor you got
Pretty much
But I still got my ways you know
I still got my ways
I still got my ways you know
I still got my ways
I still got my ways you know
I still got my ways
I still got my ways you know
I still got my ways
Love And
Tenderness
Kicking at the stars again
I fight the moon
Walk up to the wolves
In a steak necklace
All love and tenderness
With all my love and tenderness
The best man loses all his
All his love and tenderness
The kind of pain that confuses the bruises with
The tingle of a baited kiss
But he never looked better
With his head held under water
With all my love and tenderness
Sweet dreams my ass, I want it back
All my love and tenderness
All your thoughts and prayers
May your cross to bear be
The death of love and tenderness
But you never looked better
Than when you get what you're after
All my love and tenderness
All my love and tenderness
All my love and tenderness
All my love and tenderness
All my love and tenderness
103
Last days in LA you saved me baby from
Strange times
You catch me cooking in the kitchen, looking in
To the fire
Love will probably bake the burning at the stake, a step with me
Under the last palm tree and
Sip a little water from the dirty fountain, this'll be
The sum of it all
Keep me on the tip of your tongue
It's 103 in the sun
You don't know what you got
Or what you want but LA's hotter
Since you made me so damn low
You don't know what you want
Or how to stop when LA's not
What you've seen in me before
But I, I
Blame it on the summer
Yeah I, I
Blame it on the summer
These nights we've been tearing are temporary, but
Spit shines
Surfing the current on an eighty-proof serpent, your
Red eyes
Love above the radar heart, riding soaked up to the nines
Sitting on blocks and
Every elevator in the city says it's going up
When it's on the rocks and
Oh (oh) oh
Keep me on the tip of your tongue
Oh (oh) oh
It's 103 in the sun
You don't know what you got
Or what you want but LA's hotter
Since you made me so damn low
You don't know what you want
Or how to stop when LA's not
What you've seen in me before
But I, I
Blame it on the summer
Yeah I, I
Blame it on the summer
Yeah I, I
Blame it on the summer
Yeah I, I
Blame it on the summer
My Girls My
Girls
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
Homesick for two worlds
I love so hard
My gang is ghosts
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
How far I've come
Still miles behind you
We're all headed down that road
At some point, I'll try to find you
And grow a soul for when my time comes close
But for now
I'm on those middle of the night vibes
Those singing 'til I die vibes
Reminiscing while I cry vibes
Twitching, I'm so high
Like put me in a ride
Like those vibes
Clinging on for dear life
Like I know I should
I picked a bad time
To feel this good
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
But for now
I'm on those middle of the night vibes
Those singing 'til I die vibes
Reminiscing while I cry vibes
Twitching, I'm so high
Like put me in a ride
Like those vibes
Clinging on for dear life
Like I know I should
I picked a bad time
To feel this good
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
Wasterpiece
You got this started off
You wound it up
Like a fat gold watch
Like a last ditched fuck
You dialed it up
Don't act like you forgot
That high on life shit
That doin' alright shit
I'm on fire shit
But I don't buy it
I don't buy it
It's choose a side, kid
It's do or die, kid
But it's not our time
It's not our time
It's not our time
It's not our time
It's not our time
You're VIP in the hall of fame
I'm RIP on the walk of shame
That's just the way
That's just the way
Don't act like it's the same
Like time will jump up
And ride again
But time don't work that way
Time moves way too slow
For that kind of blame
I'm sorry to say
It drops you like you're dropping names
And I must admit
I must've dropped yours down the drain
Remind me again
Remind me again
It's not our time
It's not our time
It's not our time
It's not our time
It's not our time
It's not our time
It's not our time
It's not our time
It's not our time

Hey, hey, hey
So we didn't work the first time
But who knows beyond today
I can see between the shades
Where the sun hides out
It always sounds awful strange
To say we're done like I'm lying about it
No one lost
No one won
Two sharks at the table
Acting like they play for fun
But the hustle is the cradle
Rob it
Kingdom come and get it
Come and get it
Come and get it
Kingdom come and get it
Come and get it
Come and get it
Kingdom come and get it
Come and get it
Come and get it
Kingdom come and get it

Don't resent me
'Cause you think I'm too much like you
Boo-hoo
It ain't a bad thing being wrong
You just don't know who you are
Before you do
I can see beyond the phase that you're in
It will phase out
I put my money on the table and walk away
'Cause I'll see you later
No matter what
Kingdom come and get it
Come and get it
Come and get it
Kingdom come and get it
Come and get it
Come and get it

God Games
A lifetime where I walked
They'd whisper, "Man, he's not there"
That I was in a God Game, so taken
But he's here
Oh man, he's here
Aged by a mad love
But I'm here
Like a matador, they'll adore you
For every heart you tore through
And like every matador before you
They're praying for the bulls to gore you
But you're here
Oh man, you're here
Played in a God Game
But you're here
You're here
Oh man, you're here
Aged by a mad love
But you're here
Blank
I'm blank
Just being frank
I'm not even blue
A blank
Stranger on tape
Talking over you
A daffodil
Hangs its head
It don't care
For love
If love is gone
You walk away
No harm, no foul
Whoever you are
Who was I to love you?
Turn the place upside down
No sign of you
Now, now, now
Nothing on the wall
It's like I dreamt it all
I'm blank
Numb as a fool
What's it to you
A blank
City awake
Always jumping through
Smoke rings
Making jokes with
The late-night crew
About love
When love is gone
You're walking away
No harm, no foul
Took the horns, left the bull
Who was I to love you
Burn the place to the ground
No sign of you
Now, now, now
Nothing but the ground
I'm laying down on
Bullet Sound
The way you're looking at me
Wow
The way you're looking at me
It's so...
Like a bullet sound
Hit me
Hit me with another round
Let it rain down
The way you're looking at me
What kind of killer are you
What kind of love is yours
I'm happy to die for
I hear the bullet sound
Hit me
Hit me with another round
Let it rain down
'Cause no money, no money, no damn amount
No sugar, no honey, no safe ride out
Nothing, nothing, but you could stop my heart
The way you're looking at me
Like a bullet sound
The bullet's not backing down
Your boys are backing down
The bullet's not backing down
Your boys are backing down
The way you're looking at me
Like a shot rang out
Your powder and smoke getting in my throat
Takes hold of my heart
You are the bullet sound
Hit me
Like there's no one else around
Let it rain down
'Cause no money, no money, no damn amount
No sugar, no honey, no safe ride out
Nothing, nothing, but you could stop my heart
The way you're looking at me
Like a bullet sound
The bullet's not backing down
Wow
Your boys are backing down
Let it rain down
The bullet's not backing down
Wow
Your boys are backing down
Wow
Better Days
Better days
Baby, don't go looking
Just let it play out
I know we think we're top-billing
But ha! We're not
There's better days
Better days, better days
Baby, we'll find better days
There's better days
Better days, better days
Baby, you'll find better days
When that whimper dies
And a wild river rises
No man can dam the tide
Or hold it back
For God to take His time
Those big black open skies
All the while
Are calling out for
Better days
Baby, don't go looking
Better days
Baby, don't go looking
For better days
Fate is in our way
But I know we'll be good
God willing
There's better days
Better days, better days
Baby, we'll find better days
There's better days
Better days, better days
Baby, you'll find better days
Bad Blood
(Alison Mosshart & Eric Arjes / The Walking Dead
OST)
Good Lord, take my hand
Dried of this promise land
Afraid that the sun won't rise for me
Good Lord, hear my cries
I've run out of wasted time
Dead just floating out to sea
'Cause I got bad blood, bad blood
You don't want none what I have
Good Lord, find my soul
Waiting to behold, hold those gates
If I don't make it out tonight
Good Lord, give me peace
From life long of pain and greed, but not yet
I'm not done paying for my crimes
Bad blood, I got bad blood
You dont want none of what I have
Don't listen to any word I say
I'd say anything to make you feel okay
I'm not who I thought I was
Not today
'Cause I got bad blood, bad blood
You dont want none of what I have
Bad blood, I got bad blood
You dont want none of what I have
Broken Talk
(Gang Of Four feat. Alison Mosshart / What Happens
Next LP)
He's not a machine
But he's processing that code
Intermittent contacts
Arc as he overloads
You trust in fate
You trust in fate
He don't know
He don't sleep at night
And so he's getting ill
He's in a waking dream
(He's talking broken talk)
He's talking broken talk
He's talking broken talk
Where does he come from
He's got an itch that won't be scratched
Sometimes he guesses he might be wrong
Sometimes guesses that he don't belong
He trusts in fate
He trusts in fate
He trusts in fate
But he checks out by days
Redeemer of coupons in a lonely mall
He don't know
He don't sleep at night
(He's talking broken talk)
And so he's getting ill
He's in a waking dream
(He's talking broken talk)
?
Getting ill
Shakes by the steady
Self-medicator
It may come too late
Detereorating
Will he recuperate
It may come too late
He trusts in fate
He trusts in fate
He don't know
He don't sleep at night
(He's talking broken talk)
And so he's getting ill
He's in a waking dream
(He's talking broken talk)
He don't know
He don't sleep at night
(He's talking broken talk)
And so he's getting ill
He's in a waking dream
(He's talking broken talk)
He's talking broken talk
He's talking broken talk
Cosmic Dancer
(T.Rex cover)
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was out
I was dancing when I was out
I danced myself right out the womb
I danced myself right out the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself right out the womb
I was dancing when I was eight
I was dancing when I was eight
Is it strange to dance so late
is it strange to dance so late
I danced myself into the tomb
i danced myself into the tomb
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself into the tomb
Is it wrong to understand
The fear that dwells inside a man
What's it like to be a loon
I liken it to a balloon
I danced myself out of the womb
I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself into the tomb
Crazy
(Patsy Cline cover / Black Balloon EP)
Crazy
I'm Crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I knew
You'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday
You'd leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wondering
What in the world did I do
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I'm crazy
For loving you

Desperado
(Rihanna cover / Live at the Sirius XM Studios)
Desperado
Sitting in an old Monte Carlo
A man whose heart is hollow
Uh uh take it easy
I'm not trying to go against you
Actually, I'm going with you
You copy you paste you lose
Just want out of here
You ain't leaving me behind
I know you won't 'cause we share common interests
You need me, there ain't no leaving me behind
Never, no, no, just want out of here
Yeah and I ain't no going back
If you want, we could be runaways
Running from any sight of love
Yeah, yeah there ain't nothing
There ain't nothing here for me
There ain't nothing here for me anymore
I don't wanna be alone
Desperado
Sitting in an old Monte Carlo
We've both had our hearts broke
Uh uh take it easy

I can be a lone wolf with ya
Gotta get up out of here
And you ain't leaving me behind
I know you won't 'cause we share common interests
You need me, there ain't no leaving me behind
Never, no, no, just want out of here

There ain't nothing here for me anymore
I don't wanna be alone
Dolls
(Primal Scream feat. Alison Mosshart / Riot City
Blues LP)
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Saw you walking down the street
Holding hands with some other guy
Wearing a sharkskin suit
Black patent leather boots
Big brown flying saucer eyes
I didn't talk to you then
You was kissing your friend
Besides, it was the wrong time and place
I went home and took a shower
Read "Our Lady Of The Flowers" by Jane Genet
I knew we'd meet again
Don't want your diamonds
Don't want your gold
I want your love
I want your soul
Come on, baby, let's have a good time
La la la la la la la
Let's have a good time
La la la la la la la
Let's have a good time
La la la la la la la
Let's have a good time
La la la la la la la
Sweet rock and roll
I searched all over town
Quizzed the dudes hanging around
No one had ever seen a chick like you before
I hit strip joints and museums
Bars and clubs and Jesus
I even prayed in a cathedral for your soul
Then one rainy winter Tuesday
I saw you on the subway
You were headed for the tunnel, me the door
I pressed my face against the glass
You sped by me in a flash
Like a motorcycle crash
You smoked my skull
Don't want your diamonds
Don't want your gold
I want your love
I want your soul
Come on, baby, let's have a good time
La la la la la la la
Let's have a good time
La la la la la la la
Let's have a good time
La la la la la la la
Let's have a good time
La la la la la la la
Sweet rock an roll
Here she comes now
Alright
So there I was walking in the pouring rain
Wondering who and why and where and what you were
I had hallucinatory dreams
Shivers sweats and screams
Like an opium withdrawal, only worse
Then on one hot summer night
I took a motorcycle ride
Saw you looking mean and evil
Spitting fire from your eyes
Voodoo rockabilly queen
'Bout to kickstart your machine
Like a fighter pilot flying off to war
You had a tight black leather jacket
Skull and crossbones on the back
God bless your soul of sweet Gene Vincent
There you were
Don't want your diamonds
Don't want your gold
I want your love
I want your soul
Come on, baby, let's have a good time
La la la la la la la
Let's have a good time
La la la la la la la
Let's have a good time
La la la la la la la
Let's have a good time
La la la la la la la
Sweet, sweet rock an roll
La la la la la la la
Let's have a good time
Good time, good time, good time
Good time, good time, good time
Sweet, sweet, sweet rock and roll

Dreams
(Fleetwood Mac cover)
Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had and what you lost
And what you had and what you lost
Oh thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
They say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know
Now here I go again
I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to
Wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell
Dreams of loneliness like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had and what you lost
And what you had and what you lost
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
Oh thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
Oh thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
They say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know
You'll know
*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one ***

El
Naufragio (Salvavidas)
(Diamante Eléctrico feat. Alison Mosshart / Buitres
& Co. LP)
No hay Dios, no hay ley
En el mar te mueres de sed
Me hundí, naufragué
A mi suerte
A un adiós, al ayer
Nadie puede sobrevivir
En tu luz deja ver
La tormenta
No puedo mentir
No puedo parar
Si yo soy la presa
Y tu animal
La ola me vuelve a vencer
El mundo es el mar, es la salida
La sal en la herida
El piso vuelve a ceder
Tu me haces flotara a la deriva
Eres mi salvavidas
Soltar, fluir
La corriente me lleva a ti
A los restos llegué
Sin brújula ni estrella
La sal, lo fin
Creo que nunca voy a saber
Me salvaste de mi
Del naufragio
No puedo fingir
No lo puedo evitar
Soy el mas de hierro
Y tu eres el imán
La ola me vuelve a vencer
El mundo es el mar, es la salida
La sal en la herida
El piso vuelve a ceder
Tu me haces flotara a la deriva
Eres mi salvavidas
La ola me vuelve a vencer
El mundo es el mar, es la salida
La sal en la herida
El piso vuelve a ceder
Tu me haces flotara a la deriva
Eres mi salvavidas
La ola me vuelve a vencer
El mundo es el mar, es la salida
La sal en la herida
El piso vuelve a ceder
Tu me haces flotara a la deriva
Eres mi salvavidas
England's
In My Bones
(Gang Of Four feat. Alison Mosshart / What Happens
Next LP)
Just like you, I was born alone
I'm like you, but I'm unknown
I stand here gutted, talking to myself
England is in my bones
Windows broken at my home
Dela says there's something I stole
Bring me my bow, a bird in gold
God, you don't know how slow the hours go
England's in my bones
England's in my bones
I've come to the end of the road
No one taught me to think like me
Don't have no rules, make it up on my own
Don't believe anymore than I see
Got nothing in my bag
Nothing I control
Just a sex-text on my phone
Bring me my spear, ? unfold
God, you don't know how slow the hours go
England's in my bones
England's in my bones
England's in my bones
England's in my bones
England's in my bones
England's in my bones
England's in my bones
England's in my bones
England's in my bones
England's in my bones
Fire And
The Thud
(Arctic Monkeys feat. Alison Mosshart / Humbug LP)
You showed me my tomorrow
Beside a box of matches
A welcome threatening stir
My hopes of being stolen
Might just ring true
Depends who you prefer
If it's true you're gonna run away
Tell me where, I'll meet you there
Am I snapping the excitement
If I pack away the laughter
And tell you how it feels
And does burden come to meet ya
If I've questions of the feature
That rolls on your dream reel
The day after you stole my heart
Everything I touched told me
It would be better shared with you
With you
And now you're hiding in my soup
And this book reveals your face
And you're splashing in my eyelids
As the concentration continually breaks
I did request the mark you cast
Didn't heal as fast
I hear your voice in silences
Will the teasing of the fire
Be followed by the thud
In the jostling crowd
You're not allowed
To tell the truth
And the photo booth's a liar
Liar
And there's a sharpened explanation
But there's no screaming reason to inquire
I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes
With things they'd never see
If it smacks them in their temples
Gum
( Black Rooster EP )
Tell me
Tell me do you like that
I like it I think
I think I like it very much
I think I like to chew gum very much
Do you like it when I chew gum
Do you like the sound it makes
Come on tell me
I'm doing this for you
I like this
But I'm doing this for you
Would you do this for me
Would you chew gum for me
Would you make this sound for me
I like this sound I think
I'm making this sound for you
Would you make this sound for me
*** Thanx a lot to Sean for this one ***
Happier
Than Ever
(Billie Eilish cover / Happier Girls Sessions EP)
When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true
Give me a day or two
To think of something clever
To write myself a letter
To tell me what to do
Do you read my interviews
Or do you skip my avenue
When you said you were passing through
Was I even on your way
I knew when I asked you to
Be cool about what I was telling you
You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do
And I'd end up more afraid
Don't say it isn't fair
You clearly weren't aware that you
Made me miserable
So if you really wanna know
When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true
You call me again, drunk in your Benz
Driving home under the influence
You scared me to death, but I'm wasting my breath
'Cause you only listen to your fucking
I don't relate to you
I don't relate to you, no
'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty
You made me hate this city
And I don't talk shit about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
All that you did was make me fucking sad
So don't waste the time I don't have
Don't try to make me feel bad
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
Paid any mind to my mother or friends so I
Shut 'em all out so you could feel big
You ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Just fucking leave me alone
He Is
(Ghost feat. Alison Mosshart / He Is EP)
We're standing here by the abyss
And the world is in flames
Two star-crossed lovers reaching out
To the beast with many names
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And He is
Insurrection, He is spite, He's the force that made me be
He is
Nostro Dispater, Nostr'Alma Mater
He is
We are hiding here inside a dream
And all our doubts are now destroyed
The guidance of the morning star
Will lead the way into the void
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And He is
Insurrection, He is spite, He's the force that made me be
He is
Nostro Dispater, Nostr'Alma Mater
He is
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And He is
Insurrection, He is spite, He's the force that made me be
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And He is
The disobedience that holds us together
He is
Nostro Dispater, Nostr'Alma Mater
And we are falling over the precipice
Hey Lover
(Mini Mansions feat. Alison Mosshart / Guy Walks
Into A Bar... LP)
Hey, lover
I could be like any other
And if another
Tries to come and blow my cover
You would mutter
Hey, fucker
There could be no any other
Than my lover
He's my one and only other
Right lover
Yeah baby
You could drive me fucking crazy
With your ways, see
I'm a sucker and I crave thee
Am I crazy
No, honey
I will give you all my money
Ain't it funny
That it seems nothing but scummy
Compared to your honey
If this is the end
How can we be sure
That we found our everlasting love
The things that we said
Our foot out the door
Don't you know we've done this all before
Now we're crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
Hey, lover
I could be your one and only
If you're lonely
All you've got to do is hold me
Listen closely
Oh darling
Every touch is so disarming
Is it charming
That I find you quite alarming
Would you haunt me
No, never
You're the one true thing I treasure
And I'd never
Do a damn thing that would sever
Our forever
Yeah mama
I've been fucked up, so unstable
And unable
To get up and turn the tables
This is turning fatal
We can't pretend
No, not anymore
Don't know how we've wasted all our love
But now isn't then
We've been here before
On our way to everlasting love
Now we're crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
All the nights that we spent talking
Kept me up for days
Scream and shout until you had me crying
Don't look back girl, just keep walking
I can take the pain
Say "au revoir", girl, now you've got me
Crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
Hit Me
When U-1-2
Black screw, how you're gonna climb back
I’ll lift your finger, from another dead cat
Who’s blacked that liver, oh you think about that
Oh baby you better, not touch, no matter how bad
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I can help you now
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I can help you now
I knew that kid, won’t see the scene
Moving from one to the other, getting its sheep
Oh Clemont’s up, oh Clemont’s up
The way that we Laid the baby, the way it should be
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I can help you now
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I can help you now
Here it comes
Hit me when you one
And I did not
Hit me when you one
Two again she, hit
Hit me when you one
Two do it again she hit
Hit me when you one
Did she get you like that
Hit me when you one, two
Do you move it like that
Hit me when you one, two
Hit me when you one two...
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh....
I can help you now...
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh...
I Don't
Know
(Alison Mosshart / The Turning OST)
You're a virtual, vast love
Your shadow follow us
Me, inside and outside
Oh both had to be love
Is it all in my head
Is it all in your mind
I don't know
I don't know
Is this a game, love
Are you dead or alive
If I think 'bout the devil
I see him more than I like
Is it all in my head
Is it all in your mind
I don't know
I don't know
You seem to need me (you seem to need me)
Your blood in my veins (blood in my veins)
And now I'm drawn to your weakness (drawn to your weakness)
But I can't take your pain (can't take your pain)
Too young and too open
Oh honey, I'm confused
It's the way that you smile
Oh makes me feel used
Is it all in my head
Is it all in your mind
Is it all in my head
Is it all in your mind
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
( The Velvet Underground Cover /
Free Jimmy OST )
I've been set free and I've been bound
To the memories of yesterdays clouds
I've been set free and I've been bound
And now I'm set free
I'm set free
I'm set free to find a new illusion
I've been blinded but now I can see
What in the world has happened to me
The prince of stories who walks right by me
And now I'm set free
I'm set free
I'm set free to find a new illusion
I've been set free and I've been bound
Let me tell you what I've found
I saw my head laughing, rolling on the ground
And now I'm set free
I'm set free
I'm set free to find a new illusion
It's
Just Forever
(Cage The Elephant feat. Alison Mosshart /
Melophobia LP)
Gonna make you mine forever
Never let you leave my sight
You can run, you can hide
But girl, I'm gonna make you mine
It's just forever
It's just forever
I'll never stop until you love me
Even if you treat me cold
I'll love you till we decompose
And the skin falls off our bones
It's just forever
It's just forever
It's just forever
It's just forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
Maybe we can die together
Laying side by side
Even in the afterlife
Girl, you'll still be mine
It's just forever
It's just forever
Promise that you'll never leave me
Promise that you'll follow and lead me
Breathe me all in, taste of my skin
Give me your heart like a hole in the head
Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
It Ain't
Water
(Alison Mosshart)
It's late, getting later, later on
Have you faith it ain't water I want
If I don't think, I don't think of you
If I don't move, I don't follow
I set the place at the table
And become my own stranger
That way you coming from
I don't know your name
But I like the way you look at me
In that unsuspicious way
Wasted, I'm wasted
Easy in my stride
No pain in the world left
Pushing my insides
If I don't think, I don't think of you
If I don't move, I don't follow
I'd set the cup for a spoonful
And today becomes tomorrow
That way you headed now
Could we be the same
I like the way you look at me
In that unsuspicious way
Like there ain't nothing wrong
Nothing to be saved
Oh have you faith it ain't water that I want
It ain't water that I want
It's late and I'm hateful
Loving all the same
I'm nothing in freeing
The guilt which I came
And I did what I've done now
I'll do it again
There in my blood leaving
The way it came in
It ain't water that I want
It ain't water that I want

List Of Demands (Reparations)
(Saul Williams)
I want my money back
I'm down here drowning in your fat
You got me on my knees praying for everything you lack
I ain't afraid of you
I'm just a victim of your fears
You cower in your tower praying that I'll disappear
I got another plan, one that requires me to stand
On the stage or in the street, don't need no microphone or beat
And when you hear this song, if you ain't dead then sing along
Bang and strum to these here drums till you get where you belong
I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand
We're living hand to mouth
You wanna be somebody, see somebody
Try and free somebody
I gotta list of demands written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand
We're living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth
I wrote a song for you today while I was sitting in my room
I jumped up on my bed today and played it on a broom
I didn't think that it would be a song that you would hear
When I played it in my head, I made you reappear
I wrote a video for it, and I acted out each part
And then I took your picture out and taped it to my heart
I've taped you to my heart, dear, I've taped you to my heart
And if you pull away from me you'll tear my life apart
I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand
We're living hand to mouth
You wanna be somebody, see somebody
Try and free somebody
I gotta list of demands written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand
We're living hand to mouth
Call the police
I'm strapped to the teeth
And liable to disregard your every belief
Call on the law
I'm fixing to draw
A line between what is and seems and call up a brawl
Call 'em now
'Cause it's about to go pow
I'm standing on the threshold of the ups and the downs
Call up a truce
'Cause I'm about to bust loose
Protect ya neck, 'cause, son, I'm breaking out of my noose
I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand
We're living hand to mouth
You wanna be somebody, see somebody
Try and free somebody
I gotta list of demands written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand
We're living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth
I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand
We're living hand to mouth
You wanna be somebody, see somebody
Try and free somebody
I gotta list of demands written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand
We're living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth
Hand to mouth
Listen To
Her Heart
(Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers cover)
You think you're gonna take her away
With your money and your cocaine
Keep thinking that her mind is gonna change
But I know everything is okay
She's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she don't need you
You want me to think that I'm being used
You want her to think it's over
You can't see it doesn't matter what you do
Buddy, you don't even know her
She's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she don't need you
And you can't just creep up behind her
And you can't understand that she's my girl
She's my girl
She's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she don't need you
Meds
(Placebo feat. Alison Mosshart / Meds LP)
I was alone, falling free
Trying my best not to forget
What happened to us, what happened to me
What happened as I let it slip
I was confused by the powers that be
Forgetting names and faces
Passers by were looking at me
As if they could erase it
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
I was alone, staring over the ledge
Trying my best not to forget
All manner of joy, all manner of glee
And our one heroic pledge
How it mattered to us, How would it mattered to me
And the consequences
I was confused by the birds and the bees
Forgetting if I meant it
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
And the sex, the drugs, and the complications
And the sex, the drugs, and the complications
And the sex, the drugs, and the complications
And the sex, the drugs, and the complications
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
I was alone, falling free
Trying my best not to forget

One Silver Dollar
( Marylin Monroe Cover )
One silver dollar
Bright silver dollar
Changing hands
Changing hands
And lustily rollin'
Wasted or stolen
Changing hands
Changing hands
Spent for a beer he's drinking
Won by a gambler's lost
Pierced by an outlaw's bullet
Lost in the blood red dust
One silver dollar
Worn silver dollar
Changing hands
Changing hands
Love is a shining dollar
Bright as a church bell's chime
Gambled and spent, and wasted
And lost in a dust of time
One silver dollar
Worn silver dollar
Changing hearts
Changing lives
Changing hands
Pale
Blue Eyes
( The Velvet Underground Cover / Levi's Pioneer Sessions )
Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby you just make me mad
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Thought of you as my mountain top
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had but couldn't keep
I've had but couldn't keep
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
If I could make the world as pure
And strange as what I see
I'd put you in the mirror
I put in front of me
I put in front of me
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Skip a life completely
Stuff it in a cup
She said money is like us in time
It lies but can't stand up
Down for you is up
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
It was good what we did yesterday
And I do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves you're my best friend
But it's truly truly a sin
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Paris Summer
(The Last Shadow Puppets feat. Alison Mosshart /
Live from the Olympia Theatre, Paris / My Mistakes Were Made for You EP)
Walking down some cobbled street
The sound of water near my feet I found her
A hundred thousand flashes hit my mind
Soon my arms were all around her
We lay and let our heart take wings
And fly across the Seine
Love came for us from the sky
Pretending it was rain
Oh Paris summer
Standing on some cobbled street
The sound of water near my feet you found me
I took the wedding ring off of my hand
Before he put his arms around me
I lived my lie and dreamed his dreams
And lay beside the Seine
And when I left the tears I cried
He thought it was just the rain
Oh Paris summer
Walking down some cobbled street
The sound of water near my feet I found her
I took the wedding ring off of my hand
Before I put my arms around her
We lay in and let our heart take wings
And fly across the Seine
When I left the tears she cried
He thought it was just the rain
Oh Paris summer
Oh Paris summer
Oh Paris summer
Restaurant
Blouse
(Album: If the 21st century didn't exist it would be
necessary to invent it)
Music, coat hand, that's good slamming
Slamming crawl down up my head
Hockey sticks to my dead blood
Look man, I don't want a dollar
Drive her a restaurant blouse
Into his hotel house
Feeling up the walls and then
Covering his head
Heard you tell him she was evil
Grew up in an army crew and
Skeleton, bad things and partners
Under blankets that never mood
The minute you would leave
Our hopes just got up
She was the loneliest baby
She was the coldest baby
No shame on the highway
In her tight, white driving gloves
Momma she was a sweet demon
She got the devil moving
Her man on the pier said,
"My fucking car's in there"
We could see her under water
We could in the rearview mirror
Music, coat hand, that's good slamming
Slamming crawl down up my head
Hockey sticks to my dead blood
Look man, I don't want a dollar
Drive her a restaurant blouse
Into his hotel house
Feeling up the walls and then
Covering his head
Caught a ride out to the desert
Dry his body in the sand
But he had a pistol in his pocket
Got a hand gun in his pants
The birds know what that means
Way high in the trees
They fly like helicopters
They want the body
Stretching, confused
Deep, deep down, we're in his veins
Hard ride is part of his traffic
Takes time up in his brains
Take your pretty eyes off
My necklace sister wears
Your voice comes in baby
Ain't got no choices left
Rise
(Alison Mosshart)
My eyes are wide open
We can make it to the other side
Our love is a roller
It's yours life in mine
We will both wonder broken
Certain that we have died
On a day much like this one
We're gonna get back up and we will rise
When the sky is falling
And the sun is black
When the sky is coming down
Baby, don't come back
When the sky is falling
And the sun is black
When the sky is coming down on
Baby, don't come back
We will rise
We will rise up
I've seen people hurting
I've heard stories I swore I'd never live
I've seen misery out there hiding
When there was only happiness on her lips
You and I, we're really happen
To be true, so we soldier on
When you're out there, walk the sideways
I'll be right here on your arm
When the sky is falling
And the sun is black
When the sky is coming down
Baby, don't come back
When the sky is falling
And the sun is black
When the sky is coming down on you
Baby, don't come back
We will rise
We will rise up
We will rise
We will rise
We will rise, rise up
We will rise up
State Trooper
(Bruce Springsteen cover / Alison Mosshart)
New Yersey Turnpike
Riding on a wet night
Beneath the refinery's glow
Out where the great black rivers flow
License, registration
I ain't got none
But I got a clear conscience
'Bout the shit that I've done
Mister state trooper
Please, don't stop me
Please, don't stop me
Please, don't stop me
Maybe you got a kid
Maybe you got a pretty wife
The only thing that I've got
It's been bothering me my whole life
Mister state trooper
Please, don't stop me
Please, don't stop me
Please, don't stop me
In the wee wee hours
Your mind gets hazy
Radio relay towers
Oh lead me to my baby
Radio's jammed up
On talk shows stations
It's just talk, talk, talk, talk
Till you lose your talking patience
Mister state trooper
Please, don't stop me
Please, don't stop me
Please, don't stop me
Hey, somebody out there
Listen to my last prayer
Hi ho silver-o
Deliver me from nowhere
Hey ho silver-o
Hey, hey, hey somebody out there
Listen to my last prayer
Hi ho silver-o
Deliver me from nowhere oh oh oh

I'm dangerous
I'm like a stepping razor
Don't watch my size
I'm dangerous
The Gipsy Hill
(Hard Skin feat. Alison Mosshart / Why Do Birds
Suddenly Appear LP)
Red line of buses at the palace
Round the corner
Gipsy Hill
With a Highstreet full of boozers
At the top of
Gipsy Hill
Where a man has a plan
He knows he'll never leave
Gipsy Hill
The view from the top of the city
Paxton's made a comeback
Gipsy Hill
Stand on the roundabout, dogshit park
This part of town's deep in my heart
Gipsy Hill
Where a man can never fully leave
'Cause he has to be
In Gipsy Hill
Gipsy Hill
Gipsy Hill
Gipsy Hill
The Passenger
(Iggy Pop - Alison Mosshart Solo for Sons Of Anarchy
OST)
I am the passenger and I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped backsides
And everything looks good tonight
Singing la la la la lala la la
La la la la lala la la
La la la la lala la la, la la
Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll see the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
Stars made for us tonight
Oh, the passenger
How, how he rides
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see
He sees the sign and hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine
Singing la la la la lala la la
La la la la lala la la
La la la la lala la la, la la
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window side
He sees the things that he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city sleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride
Oh, oh, singing la la la la lala la la
La la la la lala la la
La la la la lala la la, la la
Singing la la la la lala la la
La la la la lala la la
La la la la lala la la, la la
La la la la lala la la
La la la la lala la la
La la la la lala la la, la la
The
Sky Is A Neighborhood
(Foo Figthers feat. Alison Mosshart / Concrete And
Gold LP)
The sky is a neighborhood, so keep it down
The heart is a storybook, a star burned out
The sky is a neighborhood, don't make a sound
Lights coming up ahead, don't look now
The sky is a neighborhood
The sky is a neighborhood
Don't look now
Oh my dear, Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Banging on the ceiling, banging on the ceiling
Keep it down
Oh my dear, Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Banging on the ceiling, banging on the ceiling
Keep it down
Mind is a battlefield, all hope is gone
Trouble to the right and left, whose side you're on
Thoughts like a minefield, I'm a ticking bomb
Maybe you should watch your step, don't get lost
The sky is a neighborhood
The sky is a neighborhood
Don't get lost
Oh my dear, Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Banging on the ceiling, banging on the ceiling
Keep it down
Oh my dear, Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Banging on the ceiling, banging on the ceiling
Keep it down
The sky is a neighborhood
The heart is a storybook, a star burned out
Something coming up ahead, don't look now
Oh my dear, Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Banging on the ceiling, banging on the ceiling
Keep it down
Oh my dear, Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Banging on the ceiling, banging on the ceiling
Keep it down
(The sky is a neighborhood)
Oh my dear, Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
(The sky is a neighborhood)
Banging on the ceiling, banging on the ceiling
Keep it down
The sky is a neighborhood
'Til The End Of
The Night
( The Stooges cover / James Williamson feat. Alison Mosshart / Re-Licked
Project )
I am so cold
Deep in my soul
Ain't got no love
Even at home
The passion, my darling
Help me complete
I need somebody
Under my sheets
'Cause I love you 'til the end of the night
I love you 'til the end of the night
I am so lonely
I am so blue
Hey there, honey
What about you
I am alone
Give me a pray
Into my love life
Bring it my way
Copy paste is a sin, always on the run is better
'Cause I love you 'til the end of the night
I love you 'til the end of the night
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I am alone
I am so cold
I got nobody
Even my soul
I love my life
Spent in this way
Hey there, my darling
Hear what I say
I love you 'til the day that you die
I love you 'til the day that you die
Tomorrow Never Knows
(Alison Mosshart & Carla Azar / Sucker Punch OST)
Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
Is it shining, is it shining
That you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being
Love is all, love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
But listen to the color of your dreams
It is not dying, it is not dying
It is not dying, it is not dying
It is not dying
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining
It is shining, it is shining
It is shining, it is shining
It is shining, it is shining
It is shining, it is shining
Trying To Believe You're
Mine
(Alison Mosshart & The Forest Rangers / Sons Of
Anarchy OST)
Broken down and burned slow
Hailed high and hanging low
Throw me a little line
Show me some kind of sign
I'm trying to believe you're mine
I'm letting everyone go by
I gamble with the night
Wonder if I do it right
I'm trying to believe you're mine
Sunset rocking in the wind
Stars shooting back to back
Pull me up out of the style
Get me out of here alive
I'm trying to believe you're mine
I've given you what I could find
I gamble with the night
Wonder if I do it right
I'm trying to believe you're mine
Venus In Furs
( The Velvet Underground Cover )
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells
Please don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
What A
Wonderful World
(Louis Armstrong cover / Alison Mosshart & The
Forest Rangers / Sons Of Anarchy OST)
I see trees of green, red roses, too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world
Wild Love
(James Williamson feat. Alison Mosshart & Mark
Lanegan / Re-Licked Project)
Wild lover
Pulling eyes on me
You're the one
I need, I need to see you
Hey lover
Off to my bed
If you wanna know
The loving in my head
You don't love me very much
You don't know me, but I don't care
You don't love me very much
You don't know me, but I don't care
Wild love
Wild lover
Wild lover
In my brain I'm calling
You're the one
In my soul I'm falling

Why I need you so bad
But you're my secret lover
And you're a wild one
And you don't love me
Any lover should
You don't love me
Any lover would
You don't know me
Any lover would
Baby, baby, baby
Gotta shout it out
Right now when I'm moving it along
Hey, hey

Inside my brain
You're my passion, my ???

You're loving so much

Any lover would
You don't know me
Any lover should
Everybody-body-body

Willow
Weep For Me
(Ann Ronell / Baby Says EP)
Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Listen willow and weep for me
Gone my lover's dream
Lonesome as can be
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned
Left my heart a-breaking and making a moan
Murmur to the night and hide its starry light
So ? will hear me sighing and crying all alone
Weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Hear me willow and weep for me
Wishing
Well Fountain
(Written and narrated by Alison Mosshart / Stories
For Ways And Means LP)
Welcome to the big city, baby
How about we go for a walk?
Let's go where gets interesting
Let's go where it's dark
This is the big city, baby
There's a million lights to light the way
Big buzz and flicker, twinkle and dance
At the end of every day
Let's go downtown
Where the coolest animals are
It's not your ordinary zoo
Look at the tiger and the pretty princess
And the rainbow cockatoo
The vampires and zombies are all out too
It's not Halloween, but let's say
"How do you do?"
This is the big city, baby
Where your wildest dreams come true
Let's go to wishing well fountain
I hear it's quite the scene
That's where wishes are wished
And there ain't no fish
Just a copper abyss of dreams
Do you have a wish?
Think of one now, but don't say it out loud
Soon as you have one, make it
Make it without a sound
Let's toss a coin in the petri dish
And wish as hard as we can
This is the big city, baby
You never know which way you'll land
Hold on
Doesn't that dinosaur know wishing well etiquette?
What's he doing waiting knee-deep with a pig and the elephant?
It's okay to wash your feet, but, please, don't take the money
It's not a cool thing to do and it looks a little funny
For every coin that's taken a wish will not come true
The ill-fated well-wishers will be annoyed with you and you and you
Let's keep walking
Let's keep talking
Let's mingle with the bats
They're playing electric guitar music
With the midnight dogs and cats
This is the big city, baby
Soon the sun will come
And all the animals we have met
Will shuffle yonder home
Let's take it all in
The great breathtaking chaos
The wilds of the night
This is the big city, baby
I love you and remember
To hold your secrets tight
You Don't Love Me (No No No)
(Dawn Penn cover / Peter Tosh cover / Live at Radio One BBC)
No no no
You don't love me
And I know now
No no no
You don't love me
And I know now
'Cause you left me, baby
And I got no place to go now
I'm like a walking razor
Don't you watch my size
I'm dangerous
I'm like a steppin' razor
Don't you watch my size
I'm dangerous
No no no
I'd do anything to stay, boy
No no no
I'd do anything to stay, boy
'Cause if you asked me, baby
I'll get on my knees and pray, boy
