(by Stacia Proefrock)

After the breakup of Mazzy Star, vocalist Hope Sandoval joined with Colm O'Ciosoig (formerly of My Bloody Valentine) to form Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions. The project retained the laid-back, slowcore sound of Mazzy Star, and much like Mazzy Star, featured Sandoval's sensuous, hypnotic voice. However, it replaced the psychedelic leanings that Mazzy Star was known for with spare, subtle arrangements that reinforced Sandoval's gentle vocal style. In 2000, Sandoval issued her first EP with the Warm Inventions, At the Doorway Again, and followed it up with her debut full-length, Bavarian Fruit Bread, a year later.

Drop

The way you drop
Is like a stone
Making out you're flying
But you've just been thrown

'Til kingdom comes
And through bitten tongues
These eyes get stung
With every curse that's sung

These twisted times
Can't compare to mine
And heaven knows
Where loving goes

I should have guessed
When I took that pill
Do I love her still
Well that's just a chill

Suzanne

Suzanne is waiting at your doorway
But all she does is waste your time
And she looks just like my sister
But she feels just like my man

And all the times I mean to tell her
The cats in here are over-flowin'
She pulls aside a four leaf clover
And makes me feel right on my own

Suzanne, Suzanne
Suzanne, Suzanne

Suzanne is waiting at your doorway
But all she does is waste your time
And she looks just like my sister
But she feels just like my man

Suzanne, Suzanne
Suzanne, Suzanne

Suzanne, Suzanne
Suzanne, Suzanne
Suzanne, Suzanne

Butterfly Mornings

( Cover / Original song from the movie "The Ballad of Cable Hogue" )

Butterfly mornings
Butterfly mornings
Catch me there
Gonna get me there
If I have to climb all the mountains on the moon
I'll be in butterfly mornings
Butterfly mornings
And wild flower afternoons

I found you in a cantaloupe
Down there sitting on a seed
Gonna trace your footsteps
Underneath the weeds
On the petals of a wild flower
With the sun high at noon
I want walks in butterfly mornings
And wild flower afternoons

Butterfly mornings
Wild flower afternoons

On the Low

On the light
On the low
All this time
I always
Held the light
On for you
But I know I'm a fool
Yes, I know

On the light
On the low
All this time
I always
Held the light
On for you
But I know I'm a fool
Yes, I know (yes, I know)

(on the low...)
(ba ba ba...)

On the light
On the low
All this time
I always (I always)
Held the light (held the light)
On for you (on)

(on...)

*** Thanx a lot to Vanessa & Sebastian for this one ***

Feeling of Gaze

Got your hair all done up
Like a woman again
Got a feeling of gaze
At the doorway again

I feel alone for you
I feel alive with you
I feel a sin fading
Celebrate, celebrate

Gonna play my favorite song
Gonna play it all night long
Gonna feel a sense of falling
Gonna hush my heart so holy

I feel alive with you
I feel a sin fading
Celebrate, celebrate

*** Thanx a lot to Vanessa for this one ***

Charlotte

She's got a rose in her smile
She says she knows and she does

And her mind aches
And her heart breaks
'Cause she's silly

Gonna teach her to sin
'Cause I'm always knowing where she's been
Livin' on the wrong side of the tracks
And you know she's never
Coming back

She's got a smile like a flower
She looks so fine by the hour

But her mind aches
And her heart breaks
'Cause she's silly

Gonna teach her to steal
'Cause I'm always knowing
how she feels
Livin' on the wrong side of the tracks
And I know she's never
Coming back

Oh no...

And her mind aches...
And her heart breaks...
'Cause she's silly...

To me (2x)

Clear Day

It's a clear day out
It's a clear day out

It's so clear, day out
It's so clear, day out

Gonna find all your trouble
Gonna send them away
Gonna make you feel happy
Gonna be what you say

It's a clear day out
It's a clear day out

It's a clear day out
It's a clear day out

Gonna walk through your doorway
Gonna be what you say
Gonna take all your trouble
Gonna kiss them away

True

It's a clear day
It's a clear day
It's a clear day

*** Thanx a lot to Shana & Robert for this one ***

Bavarian Fruit Bread

Saw you
On the high street
A little bit out of love for me

Oh well, you'll always be
I've got a brand new machine
I'm gonna make myself treat you mean
I'm gonna spend all of my money
Making you cry

I forgot
I thought freely
You're the one that is untrusty

I've got a brand new set of wings
I'm gonna drive you straight to tears
I'm gonna spend all of my money
Making you cry

Around my smile

Got me going on again
Around my smile
And I've got a thoughtless feeling inside

I've got it going X4
On...

Got you going on again
Around my smile
And I've got a thoughtless feeling inside

Why don't you take a friend
In the shade
Somewhere all the minutes stay around

I've got it going on X4
On...

Got you going on again
Around my smile
And I've got a thoughtless feeling inside

I've got it going...X14

Lose me on the way
I've got a price to pay
Till I heard the north wind sigh
All the world's a flame
this heart will never be the same
She's the flower in your eyes now

What a fool of heart
Such a fool of heart
What a fool of heart
Such a fool...

Lose me on the way
She's the flower in your eyes now
All the world's a flame
this heart will never be the same
Never...

Blanchard

I'm merely standing on holes in the ground
If I fall over, they'll never know I'm found
I may leave, but I'll never go back there
I'm only stumbling on the things that I air

Like those days on the porch of your house
Tell you how to close of ???

All those times you sent my brother down your road
Holding on to the dope that you sold
I knew then that we could never be blessed
I know it this way and I know what I confess

And I'm not
Gonna say
I forget
'Cause I remember
Every day

I play death in the space of my life
That's how I feel, and I'll never think it twice
All these things that I held against you
Who should we blame for the things that we do

Who blames who for the ways that we turn
This all grow and will never see you burn
Inside I feel like a child that's all
I'm only saying the things that I've been told

And I'm not
Gonna say
I forget
'Cause I remember
Every day

Every day

Why not speak about it now
I put things that shade to you
Maybe I've been dismayed
Maybe that's the truth

And we're like the roses
Stoned in the backyard
There is no misery
In the time we grew wild

Why not look out the door
And know what it's there for
To leave or to come back
Safe in the morning

Safely, unwounded
Roaming too late
Suddenly, I find you
In the town we grew up wild

And we're like the roses
Stoned in the backyard
There is no misery
In the time we grew wild

For the rest of your life

Ask her what she found in the hills of your stones
Offer her the bounty that she feels that she owns
Keep your mind silent �cause he's humbled in his gold
Offer many keys to the rivers he stole

Oh for the rest of your life
Oh gonna pay that big price
Oh �cause your woman let you go
Oh it won't be the same that you show

Never let your hand shake when you're firm on your blade
Never keep a keepsake of the spill that you make
Keep your eyes peeled on the bridge that you burn
Never lay your hand in the furnace of gold

Oh for the rest of your life
Oh �cause you'll never be here twice
Oh �cause your mama's in your face
Oh gonna pay that big price

Oh for the rest of your life
Oh with the needles in your eyes
Oh �cause your mama let you go
Oh it won�t be the same that you show

*** Thanx a lot to Zain for this one ***

Lady Jessica and Sam

You've got a lot of feelings
That keep your hands and treasures warm
I came around to see you
And found the ???

Stayed by the river cold
And talked in all the ways you know
Hung all my thoughts from you
Just like the feelings do

Your father in his memories
He hid a razor in your heart
Your mother seemed so faithless
She had the way to tear apart

Stayed by the river cold
And talking all the ways I know
Hung all your thoughts from here
Just like the way the feelings do

And baby Sam
He took your hand
To let you know
It's time to go

And baby Sam
He took your hand
To let you know
It's time to go

*** Thanx a lot to Zain for this one ***

Sets the blaze

Just because my love falls around in the weeds
We'll lay our thoughts for the devil to take his needs
On the rails of my darkening sureties
I rode the way to my own barbarity

All my prayers that never never set me down
From all the kindly like a discarded frown
Sets the blaze on the way to making me feel free
And now I can roam just like the breeze

*** Thanx a lot to Zain for this one ***

Thinking like that

I was thinking like that
About how you let things go
And nobody could
No nobody could

I was thinking about times
You let go of all your eyes
When your sensible ways talked
In the day of my mind

I was thinking like that
How very different things could be
If you didn't worry about me
No don't worry about me

Don�t close your eyes to the shade
That you knew me all those ways
Don't symbolise to your friends
That you always knew and then

All those ways
Got me thinking like
All those days
Got me thinking like
All those days

And I never lost my way
In the colours that you made
Blue and gold each way
Silver-green and red
Got me thinking like that

*** Thanx a lot to Zain for this one ***

There's a willow

Like the hare softly in the woods
I was thinking wildly in my days
That I might be leaving like I should
In my dawn to fix him (?)

Should I go
Should I know
Could I go
How could I explain
All those things to you

And how loud does the wind blow
While we sleep away our days
I was thinking maybe there's a willow
Forgives while under her gaze

Should I know
Could I be fooled
Would I strew
Only if I could
With you

Should I roam
Could I be owned
While I'm still here
On my own
With you, with you

Trouble

The trouble with the trouble
Is the trouble in me
I might be mistaken
Might be forsaken
That sure could be

That seems like lust to me
I don't know what you think

The trouble is
That the trouble says
There's trouble in you

Don't let me say
That I just slipped away
That I just took the car and your keys

The trouble is
The trouble says
It's all troubling

Don't talk to me
If you're not on the leave
I'll never get to sleep

All those things
You sent my way
I never saved a thing

Don't let me say
That I just slipped away
And I took the car and your keys

'Cause the trouble
Is the trouble with me

Fall Aside

Swing that cause inside your fear
Down with the same long-term gait
All those thoughts left in the wake
Close your eyes �cause you�re now asleep

Fall away with an unbelieve friend
Thrust yourself to the very begin
Spend all day with a woman you like
Find yourself a Sunday bride

Fall aside
Fall aside
Fall aside
Fall aside

Spend your life in the part you�re in
Spell your life with a toothless grin
Give a smile when you feel like hell
Stand by the light where you need to be strong
Sway like a breeze when you want a big day
Start at me all that�s champagne
Close your eyes �till the very next day
Sun still rose even it you�re still

Fall aside
Fall aside
Fall aside
Fall aside

Bluebird

Is that the devil in your skies
Is that what's glowing in your eyes
Is it me that wants to leave
Is it me that you should deceive

Is that the devil in your eyes
Is that the way I should be surprised
Should I be fooled by you
Or should I quit

Is that the devil in your veins
Or just some kind of symphony
Should I just laugh
And pretend you were never clear

I'll come around your place
And sympathize until your day's gone
Til your day's gone

Is that the devil in your face
Or just a bluebird that's left his place
In your smile that always sets the sun
In your tears never let me go

Never let me go
Never let me go...

State your way
'Cause you're going down
Get your hands to pray your way out
Satellite 'cause your faith ain't home
Jingle head your heart's made of stone

Don't blaze on your way home
Count your blessings
'Cause you're hazed and don't know
Four days on your head made of hair
Just before you lay yourself down

In the ground where you came
In the place that your sisters made

Put your hands to pray your way out
For the lake 'cause it's all that you have

Don't play me for a fool you say
Happiness is your hearts contents
Count your blessings, all ??
Count your blessings on your way down

On your way down, on your way down
On your way

All This Remains

( Bert Jansch / vocals: Hope Sandoval / Edge Of A Dream LP )

I've been seeing you
In this house of mine
Got your arms away
From my strange disguise
All the things that you believe
Are still in me
As though you please

And they shimmer
On the ends of my memories
I could feel your ghost
In the breeze

I'm telling you this
So you won't have anything
But this to know
Our colours fade
All this remains

And they shimmer
On the ends of my memories
I could feel your ghost
In the breeze

It's not so much
That you should say
You had a love
Turn out this way
It covers your ears
And stops your heart
And holds you near

The shimmer
On the ends of my memories
I could feel your ghost
In the breeze

Angel's Share

( Duet with Vetiver )

Makeshift moon mends a broken sky
Fields of fallow still stands dry
Night not gentle, soon for the night

Her mistake was to trust in him
His bodily excuse again
Yeah, the voices hard like the wind

Said, "I'm tired of you coming home late"
"I will do as I please, Kate
"There's no one gon' tell me how to be"
"Not for my sake, Tom, for the family"

He read guilt when she pled love
Got anxious and began to shove
Clouds have been kept loomed above

Curses raised the kids from bed
They fell down the stairs in time to see
The blood run warm down Kate's head

While the wounds in silence came to scars
Tom kept hitting them jukejoint bars
All the love vanished in the air
Filled with paper vows and the angels' share

I know just what your mama said
Always misunderstood
Gotta tell you something
I saw it in your eyes

I think I left your back seat
And now It's always good
I fell asleep from day
And all the promises

There's a lot of people
That let their will to say
I've got a lot of friends

And they've got beautiful eyes
That make my heart feel surprised
And you notice it
And that's the truth
That's the truth

Have me to you
I shine along underneath your view
I'll be the one
To let you know when you've come undone

I like the stars in the sky
And watch the moonlight go by
I've got a lot of friends
And they've got beautiful eyes,
That make my heart feel surprised.
And that's the truth,
That's the truth (x3).

At the Doorway Again

( At The Doorway Again EP )

He's my friend, don't wake him
He's asleep for sure
Look at his eyes, open stare
Warm smile on his face

Here we go off the steps
Countings all (?), no regrets
Look at his arms
Hollow and cold

I'll never want to make him go
He's my friend, I know
I'll never want to make him stay
But now, he'll never go away

It's the night or the morning
Allan flag (?) and nothing on him
Here or there don't mean much
Sylvia says he's cold to touch

I'll never want to make him go
He's my friend, I know
I'll never want to make him stay
But now, he'll never go away

Down the steps
Fast asleep
Wake up
Make us some tea

I don't think I feel like being shy
Don't think I want to stand here anymore
I just want to say hi
To the one I love
Tell my Cherry Blossom girl
This is True

I never talk to you
People say I should
I just want to go out and go out for a ride
Just want to be sure of what people might say
Tell my Cherry Blossom Girl
This is True
This is true
This is true

Friends Of A Smile

( Suzanne EP )

Won't you let your light shine
Won't you let your light shine
Beneath the city
Under the seas
And soft around

Smiles of a friend
Smiles of a friend
Smiles of a friend
Smiles of a friend
Smiles of a friend
Smiles of a friend

( Death In Vegas feat. Hope Sandoval / Scorpio Rising LP )

You can't change without someone's shadow
'Cause then it's gone
When you still shine
You can't change to solve somebody's name
Don't blink until you're made

When all destroyed, broke all in hell
And you don't need what you could steal
I'm feeling like something I don't know that's wrong
And I know the sad in my heart

Help yourself with
Help yourself with what you need, yeah
Help yourself with
Help yourself with what you need, yeah
Help yourself with
Help yourself with what you need, yeah
Help yourself when
Help yourself when you don't need it
Help yourself

Help yourself with
Help yourself with what you need, yeah
Help yourself with
Help yourself with what you need, yeah
Help yourself with
Help yourself with what you need, yeah
Help yourself when
Help yourself when you don't need it

Killing Smile

( Death In Vegas's album Scorpio Rising )

You can spin your world behind my falling star
The slab beneath you in your long killing smile
I've got the time to spare
But you don't need it
I've got my mind in anyway

You can always shine behind my hidden door
Just like a flame although with you I couldn't tell
I'm not the one who ever walks light
Don't have a feeling that I wanna waste my time
But you know I got to

And you know I want to
With you
All the time
All the time

I'm feeling like I want to hang around
Don't have a leading anymore to let it down
But you know I want to
With you
And you that I could
With you

All the while I spend my time making schemes
Now I know when things are always what they seem
But you know they should
Yeah
And you know I want that
To change
And you know I want that
Please

Louise

( Acetone cover / Live at Cafe De La Danse, France, Paris, 09-12-2002 )

Don't turn your eyes away
And please say that you will stay
A while

I know things could go wrong
But what's the use if you don't try
Louise

Don't turn your eyes away
And please say that you will stay
A while

Oh please
Just go on and take a look and then
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes and see

Don't turn your eyes away
And please say that you will stay
A while

I know things could go wrong
But what's the use if you don't try

Oh please
Just go on and take a look and then
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes and see

Perfume

( The Jesus & Mary Chain feat. Hope Sandoval / Munki LP )

Meeow
Meeow
Meeow
Meeow

Alive, alive, alive

I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Alive, alive, alive

Baby, I'm in heaven
But I don't believe a word
No, I don't believe a word
Going down

I'm on five
I'm on five
I'm on five
Alive, alive, alive

Maybe I got lucky
But I always stood the chance
Yeah I always stood the chance of the prize

Meeow
Meeow
Meeow

But there's no more music, come on

Play With Fire

( The Rolling Stones cover / Live at Cafe De La Danse, France, Paris, 09-12-2002 )

Well, you've got your diamonds
And you've got your pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
But don't play with me
You're playing with fire

Your old man took her diamonds
And tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
So don't play with me
You're playing with fire
But don't play with
