WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS/YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE AGAIN/WELL COME ON!
just posting some of my favourite lurics/quotes at the moment, mainly becuase i cant get them out of my head.
here are some of my favourites form Only skin - Joanna newsom
down to the swimminghole, where there grows bitter herb
that blooms but one day a year by the riverside - I'd bring it here:
apply it gently
to the love you've lent me
scrape your knee; it is only skin
makes the sound of violins
when you cut my hair, and leave the birds the trimmings
I am the happiest woman among all women
I have got some business out at the edge of town
candy weighing both of my pockets down
'til I can hardly stay afloat, from the weight of them
(and knowing how the common-folk condemn
what it is I do, to you, to keep you warm
being a woman, being a woman
you stopped by, I was all alive
in my doorway, we shucked and jived
and when you wept, I was gone:
see, I got gone when I got wise
but I can't with certainty say we survived
but I'm starving and freezing in my measly old bed!
then I'll crawl across the salt flats to stroke your sweet head
come across the desert with no shoes on!
I love you truly, or I love no-one
course i stuggle with the nightshade in my blood
i really shouldnt say, i really shouldnt say it
but i just love what the water does
(david thomas broughton)
We could stay at home man
Call the skag and bone man
Dig our grave out with a spoon
Then in the morning picking flowers
Spirit up for hours
Til the sun becomes the moon
(skag and bone man, the libs)
The mob goes fifteen ways,
I don't know which way to go.
The mob goes fifteen ways,
and my head, my poor head
On rocks i dreamt of where we stepped
