"Of one so young, so rich in nature's store, who could not say, 'tis pity she's a whore?"
JOHN FORD.
(WHEN I WAS A YOUNG GIRL) FEIST
When I was a young girl I used to seek pleasure
When I was a young girl I used to drink ale
Out of the ale house, down into the jail house
My body salivated and hell is my doom
One morning one morning one morning in may
I saw this young lady all wrapped in white linen
All wrapped in white linen and called out the plague
(A LEADER ALWAYS CARRIES A STICK) GRIZZLY BEAR
A leader walks with force
A leader makes the most of what he can
A leader flaunts his strength
A leader takes command of what he can
But he always carries a stick
A leader fills the bags
A leader joins the ranks when he can
A leader takes good aim
A leader plays the game when he can
But he always carries a stick
(IT'S ONLY DIVINE RIGHT) THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS
Come true for the new martyrs,
with your hair parted like the Red Sea
You're addressing the world from your bed
all alone in the crowd like you said
Come true, it's only divine right
Here's Leda in her white glory, all her back-story has been wiped clean
Just another apocryphal mess
never promised them anything less
(VENUS IN FURS) THE VELVET UNDERGROUND
Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there
(BROTHER OF SLEEP) SOAP&SKIN
I dreamed of you
Every day
and every night
(CREATOR) SANTOGOLD
Tell me no, I say yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion
Me, I'm a creator, thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place up on the radar
Me, I'm a taker, know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood, got to play our cards
(THE FIVE GHOSTS) STARS
When I was a little girl the world was small to me
All the light in my life filtered softly through the trees
The shadows in the photographs, five ghosts who followed me
I was only truly frightened once
They called my name and said they wanted me
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die, oh, for one sweet second without the eye
When I grew in age and fame and traveled through the world
All the rivers of the city like flags of blue unfurled
Me pressed against the railing, me taken to a room
Me breaking in the morning, dark with a sense of coming doom
(THE CROOK OF MY GOOD ARM) PALE YOUNG GENTLEMEN
.
You start to worry about your health, when you reach a certain age
So in a careful tongue, I have chosen one that I believe is safe
In the crook of my good arm
All the liars I know tell me the course is bleak.
They can go to hell, I know that story well, and maybe I am weak
But not the crook of my good arm.
And you might hear them say it isn't mine to claim
But I don't really care, you see the world ain't fair, they'd probably do the same.
(RAW SUGAR) METRIC
I don't want to say it, the news is not so good
We'll never get away and even if we could
We'd just play the tambourine around an open flame
Oversleep and burn to be back in the game
'Cause summer never comes, nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes, nor the harvest moon
(WHAT HE WROTE) LAURA MARLING
begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
begged him to stay by the light of this ship
me fighting him, fighting light, fighting dawn
and the waves came and stole him and took him to war
he wrote, I'm broke, please send for me
but I'm broken too and spoken for
do not tempt me
(YOU ARE A RUNNER AND I AM MY FATHER'S SON) WOLF PARADE
I got a number on me, I got a number
won't make it through the high noon sun
I am my father's son and I am my father's son, his bed is made
I was a hero early in the morning, I ain't no hero in the night
I am my father's son and I'll build a house inside of you
I'll go in through the mouth, I'll draw three figures on your heart
One of them will be me as a boy, one of them will be me
And one of them will be me watching you run
(EVENING ON THE GROUND, LILITH'S SONG) IRON AND WINE
We were born to fuck each other, one way or another
But I'll only lie down by the waterside at night
Hey man, tiny baby tears, I will collect a million years
And you can blame me, blame me
I will wear it in the empty hollow part of my garden
Garden wall of Eden, in the clamor as they raise the curtain
You will, you will never make me learn to lay beneath the mountain
(EXILE VILIFY) THE NATIONAL
Exile, it takes your mind again
You've got sucker's luck, have you given up?
Does it feel like a trial? Does it trouble your mind the way you trouble mine?
Does it feel like a trial?
No, you're thinking too fast, you're like marbles on glass
Vilify, don't even try
(VIVA LA VIDA) SCALA AND KOLACNY BROTHERS
I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
