Brand New Love (Sebadoh)

Restless eyes close
Maybe it'll go away
Please rest tomorrow
Bring a satisfied day
The restless urge of love
That's worth the burning for
Maybe it's that one consuming
Love to give you more
Any thought could be the beginning
Of the brand new tangled web you're spinning
Anyone could be your brand new love
Any tithe that holds can be broken
Tear your bitter world to the open
Anyone could be your brand new love
You won't be the first
Your twisted change is normal
Gossiped dirt
Whispered to the nodding head
Thrill you fell apart instead of them
But they will
Cuz any hope for love can be killed
If you need a different face
It's definite time to destroy this place
Any thought could be the beginning
Of the brand new tangled web you're spinning
Anyone could be your brand new love
Follow what you feel
You alone decide what's real
Anyone could be your brand new love
Anyone could be your brand new love

Mermaid (Super Ghost)

Am I just lonely
Or just how boring am I?
Leave on those colors babe
They make the room bright
It gets harder to explain
And I have seen better days in my life
Mermaid in the sand
Why are you on land
Don't you belong in the sea
As far away from me
Mermaid in the sand
You're with another man
And it's not me
All my friends
We're gone all summer
And we're gonna go surfin'

Gimme your hands, show me the door
I cannot stand to wait anymore
Somebody said be what you'll be
We could be old and cold and dead on the sea
But I love you more than words could say
I can't count the reasons I should stay
Gimme some rope, tie me to dream
Gimme the hope to run out of steam
Somebody said it could be here
We could be roped up, tied up, dead in a year
I can't count the reasons I should stay
One by one, they all just fade away
I'm tired of the wait and sees
I'm tired of that part of me
That makes up a perfect lie
To keep us busy
But hours turn into days
So watch what you throw away
And be here to recognize
There's another way
But I love you more than words could say
I can't count the reasons I should stay
One by one, they all just fade away
Oh, I love you more than words could say

Angelfuck (The Misfits)
01:53

Little angelfuck,
It's a shame your luck
Isn't better babe
Did you like the fun
Did you like the times
That I promised you
Open wounds on your brow
Little angel in red
She ain't lovin' you anymore
Little angelfuck
I see you going down
On a fire plug
Little angelfuck
Size for everyone
Let those backs bleed
Dry your thighs and we'll leave
She ain't lovin' you anymore

Write you a letter tomorrow
Tonight I can't hold a pen
Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow
I promise not to blow the address again
Lights that flash in the evening
Through a hole in the drapes
Jesus rides beside me
Never buys any smokes
Hurry up, hurry up, I've had enough of this stuff
Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filth jokes
See you're high and lonesome
Try and try and try
Lights that flash in the evening
Through a hole in the drapes
I'll be home when you're sleeping
I can't hardly wait
I can't wait, hardly wait (ad infinitum)

Atlantis (Box Elders)
02:13
|
|||
|
What could it be
There's a feeling coming over me
Is it sorcery
Fallen angels crawling after me
From a far off land
Cast by sure, steady hands
Oh, honeymoon in Atlantis
It sounds so good to me
Just put your hand in mine
And we'll sink into the sea
The sea, who-o-o-o-a
And if the stars are right
I know that we could leave tonight
Sail across the sea
On a ship with you and me
And we'll start to swoon
Underneath the Atlantic moon
|

Allowed to be
A mile to flee
On the wild tribes I'm playing
Survived and prayed to a degree
And send me letter out
Delivered sermons to the sea
For the girls of wild strawberries
So proud to speak
Of how I otherwise am weak
And now I blind my head
Divine the current from the stream
A child I never loved denied
Reminded who are we
By the girls of wild strawberries
I blind my head
Divine the current from the stream
A child I never loved denied
Reminded who are we
By the girls of wild strawberries

And we'll keep ourselves in a place
Where it's easy to hold onto
And as the last threats came and went
This is the way that wars are played
Always headed for a front, headed for a front
Headed we go, into the obscurity
Of an easy to pass on feeling
Objection is so cliche
A new way on (x4)
So can your pop sensibilities
Sing me the end of the world
Turn gunshots and mortar blasts
Into a metaphor of how we are all the same
And there's a lot of things that should be said
Said, so we're, hammering six strings
Machine guns in audible voices
This is the party we came for
A new way on (x4)
We stand in amazement of motion
In a world that is constantly revolving
With plans of invasion and arms races racing
Yeah, we rock, we rock, we rock to the new sensation
A new way on (x4)

So cold in the night
Where the river flows
Where the river flows
Sail away, hey I'm sorry
Every day's a new day
Hooray for love, hey I'm only
Trying to find a new way
So cold in the night
With the river songs
Singing river songs
CUT IT!
So cold in the night
Hold on, hold on
Sail away, hey I'm sorry
Every day's a new day
Hooray for love, hey I'm only
Trying the alien way
A new way (ad infinitum)

I keep my head up tight, I make my plans at night
And I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep til it's light
Some folks float, some are buried alive
There is an awful sound, this haunted town
And it will not, it will not, it will not just be quiet
Some ghosts sink, some will get called to the light
I spend boring hours in the office tower
In a bus, on a bus back home to you and
That's fine, I'm barely alive
It's just a matter of time, no one gets out alive
And I'm content, I'm content, I'm content to be quiet
Some will sink, some will get called to the light
You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something that'll never arrive
I keep my head up tight, I make my plans at night
And I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep til it's light
Some folks float, some are buried alive
And with our little boots, we built another world
Gonna chain chain chain chain chain to the light
That's fine our blood is alive

This is my least favorite life
The one where you fly and I don't
A kiss holds a million deceits
And a lifetime goes up in smoke
This is my least favorite you
Who floats far above earth and stone
The nights that I twist on the rack
Are the nights that I feel most at home
We're wandering in the shade
And the rustle of fallen leaves
A bird on the edge of a blade
Lost now forever, my love
In a sweet memory
The station pulls away from the train
The blue pulls away from the sky
The whisper of two broken wings
Maybe they're yours, maybe they're mine
This is my least favorite life
The one where I'm out of my mind
The one where you're just out of reach
The one where I still and you fly

Why are there so many songs about rainbows?
And what's on the other side
Rainbows have visions and only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
Who says that every wish
Could be heard and answered
When wished on a morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us shoegazing
And what do we think we might see
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
All of us under it's spell
We know that it's probably magic
Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That calls to young sailors
The voice might be one in the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

Til My Own (Saqqara)
03:07
|

|
You unscrewed me, beat me
Pushed me so that I can't stand
Defeat me, push me til my own
Girl, you know that you are my own
And I've never been more scared
For my life
See you there and I want you here
But when I see your face
I disappear
You just push me, bend me, break me
Why can't you just let me be
Til my own

True love will find you in the end
You'll find out just who was your friend
Don't be sad, I know you will
But don't give up until
True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking can it find you
Cuz true love is looking too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light, the light
Don't be sad, I know you will
But don't give up until
True love will find you in the end
Don't be sad, I know you will
But don't give up until
True love will find you in the end
