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

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 the corner
Down there sitting on the sea
Gonna trace your footsteps
Underneath the waves
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...

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

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

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
