"We wanted to make sure that our inexperience showed," says Jesca Hoop about her entrancing debut album, Kismet. "This album was a process of discovery, and this is what that discovery sounds like. I wanted to hear something new, so I made what I think is something new – or fresh to my ears, anyway. I made the record that I wanted to hear. That was my motivation." Indeed, Kismet is filled with continually unfolding discoveries – from the shimmering wonder of "Summertime," its lustrous opening track, to the off-kilter elegance of "Love and Love Again," which brings it to a swooning close. Each of the album’s eleven song wanders into surprising sonic places – woozy keyboards, pop riffs that turn themselves surreally inside out, lyrics that flirt with multiple meanings and refuse to settle in any one spot. The result is a shifting, dreamlike atmosphere in which everything follows an internal logic that makes perfect sense for the length of each song, and then evaporates as the next song begins to take its equally individual shape. The album is seductive, fun and entirely mesmerizing. How it came to be is a story in itself. Hoop was raised a Mormon, but eventually left that world behind to create her own path – and her own visionary worlds. She traveled in the West – California, Wyoming, Arizona – and, finally, worked for five years as nanny to the children of Tom Waits and his wife, Kathleen Brennan. Hoop had already been writing songs and performing with a band, and Waits took an interest in her songs. Through him, an early version of "Seed of Wonder" made its way to Lionel Conway who in turn gave it to Nic Harcourt, the musically adventurous and influential host of "Morning Becomes Eclectic," on KCRW in Santa Monica. Harcourt began playing the song, and it became one of the most requested tracks in the station’s history.

"Nic was willing to play this weird, six-minute song that had only guitar and vocal on it on the radio," Hoop says, appreciatively. "He deserves credit for that, and I want to acknowledge him, because that's what I want to hear from deejays – for them to try something new. He did, and it's done a world of good for me." Record company interest ensued, and Hoop signed with 3 Entertainment, a partnership with Columbia Records. "From the moment I heard her demos I knew I had found a special artist," proclaims Harcourt "a unique voice, a unique songwriter, a unique record." Hoop describes Kismet as a collaboration between herself, producer Damian Anthony, and Tony Berg, the co-founder of 3 Entertainment. An industry veteran, Berg has produced the likes of Edie Brickell, Michael Penn and Aimee Mann, and much of Kismet was recorded at his home studio, Zeitgeist. "It took a little while to fall into our dynamic," Hoop says. "Tony has his production style. Damian and I had no defined production style – we were discovering our style. We wanted to keep it young and naïve, but we also wanted to make sure that it had the smarts and savvy of someone who did have experience. Tony provided that guidance." The trio managed to strike that balance. For all of its unpredictable turns, Kismet never runs off the rails. The fleshed-out, though no less provocative, version of "Seed of Wonder" on Kismet, for example, includes drums by Stewart Copeland, one of Hoop’s favorite drummers from her childhood. "That was a serious treat!" she says. "It’s a complicated song, because the structure is not...normal," she continues, laughing. "So he just sat down for an hour or so and did the most mad drumming I’ve ever witnessed – breaking sticks, throwing sticks. I'm a longtime fan."

Hoop's improvisational flair as a singer is one of the album's most significant unifying aspects. She delivers her vocals as if she is making up the melody on the spot. You listen just to see where she’s going to go next. It's an effect that often underscores the themes of her songs, as in "Summertime," where an abrupt key change and drop in pitch signal a move from a childlike world of innocent pleasure to a more adult realm of erotic longing. "It takes a funny turn," Hoop says of the song. "It's like, what about the deeper side of summer, where you're that kid who wanders off and has your first sexual experience? Or even if you’re a grown woman – there’s the heat of summer and all the sexiness involved. You have the age of innocence, and also the ripening of that innocence." "Money," meanwhile, takes a wry look at the rampant commercialism of the music industry – and the culture at large. "Money makes the world go round/Money make you change your sound, if the price is right," she sings. On another note, the haunting folk melody of "Enemy" reveals a strange beauty in the scars of love's wars – "the jewels of my story," as the singer puts it. And the mournful "Love Is All We Have" commemorates the destruction of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. "It's a way to reflect upon that wound in our country, to lend a heart to it," Hoop says. "And to let the people there know what we're thinking of them." For all of its artistic ambition and near obsession with sound and sensual wordplay ("it burned and it burned and it burrowed in/soar through the source searching/hammer and ping"), Kismet is an album of profound emotional power. That aspect of Hoop's music is especially palpable on stage, she says. "I love that people will come and lend their imaginations to words that I’ve put on a piece of paper, and that I’m singing to them at that moment," she explains. "The songs affect me, because they come from a pretty emotional place. And if I think about it affecting the people listening, it will inevitably make me cry!" She pauses and laughs. "The people who know me best, the ones who come to every show, know that I cry a lot," she continues. "These songs are very personal. There’s just nothing like the joy of playing for people." The word "kismet," of course, means fate. There's no doubt that many of the fans who discover Jesca Hoop with this album will come to feel that somehow they were meant to hear these deeply moving songs. Kismet is that sort of album, and Jesca Hoop is that sort of artist.

Summertime

Corn is getting high
And the well is getting low
Fields are getting dry
I'm gonna catch a lizard's eye
So I got to lay low
Playing in the rye
La, la, la, la...

Summer
Summertime
Summer
Summertime
Summer
Summertime
Summer

Rattle rattle, rattle grass
I hope that you won't bite
You can save your venom
Let me pass
I'm headed to the hive
La, la, la, la...

Summer
Summertime
Summer
Summertime
Summer
Summertime

Summer baby baby
Find me in the field
Follow my trail till the grain is
Higher than your ears
Bring a soft blanket baby
Lay it down for me
And roll me daddy daddy
Roll me in the wheat
La, la, la, la...

Moon is on the rise
And the sun is sinking low
Swim in a lake at night
I'm gonna sing with my cricket cicada choir
Owl on a wire
La, la, la, la...

Summer
Summertime
Summer
Summertime
Summer
Summertime
Summer

Seed of wonder

Once my love stood still like a stagnant
Well for so long, you could hear
The song of spiders, strumming fibers
Calling her to the web
My river sits in ebb
The little ones lean over
Laughter echoes
Bounce down the dark until it hits the floor
Singing come on baby come on child, call your flo
Like a seed of wonder, faith of mustard
Oh yeah oh oh yeah

All is dark
All of the light
Is vanished it is gone
Like something large
Hovering high
Has covered up the sun
And something quiets
The silken ringing
Something breaks the strum
A wish has finally come

All I want is to be writing to be writing
All I want is to be writing and it goes something like

Once that wish did land
Like a star in my hand
It burned and it burned and it burrowed in
Soar through the source searching
Hammer and ping
And tapped my virgin spring
And prime the vein with milk of mother
And wet my river bed
Pearls strung up on silk thread
The starry one
Beams a light
He’s working under
Digging through the dark gathering particles
Finding everything you ever wished for in your soul
Like a seed of wonder faith of mustard
Oh yeah oh oh yeah

Finally that tapped spring
Come running like a river my song it came
Right away I went writing I went writing
Right away I was humming I was humming
Right away I was singing I was singing
Right away I was loving
And goes something like…light
I haven’t always been under such a blue
Only you have seen such storming in my life

All I want is to be writing to be writing
All I want is to be writing and it goes something like

Once my love stood still like a stagnant
Well for so long, you could hear
The song of spiders, strumming fibers
Calling her to the web
My river sits in ebb
The little ones lean over
Laughter echoes
Bounce down the dark until it hits the floor
Singing come on baby come on child, call your flo
Like a seed of wonder, faith of mustard
Oh yeah oh oh yeah

All is dark
All of the light
Is vanished it is gone
Like something large
Hovering high
Has covered up the sun
And something quiets
The silken ringing
Something breaks the strum
A wish has finally come

All I want is to be writing to be writing
All I want is to be writing and it goes something like

Once that wish did land
Like a star in my hand
It burned and it burned and it burrowed in
Soar through the source searching
Hammer and ping
And tapped my virgin spring
And prime the vein with milk of mother
And wet my river bed
Pearls strung up on silk thread
The starry one
Beams a light
He’s working under
Digging through the dark gathering particles
Finding everything you ever wished for in your soul
Like a seed of wonder faith of mustard
Oh yeah oh oh yeah

Finally that tapped spring
Come running like a river my song it came
Right away I went writing I went writing
Right away I was humming I was humming
Right away I was singing I was singing
Right away I was loving
And goes something like…light
I haven’t always been under such a blue
Only you have seen such storming in my life

Enemy

Beautiful
Alone with my enemy
And share a bitter cup
Of poisoning

My countenance
To see his face in mine
And follow every line
Back to my enemy

You are mine
Pennyroyal wine fly
Like an innocent child
That followed every line
Back to my enemy

Beautiful
Falling fast from a state of grace
And trusting there's a light
In darkest place
My dirty knees
Hold the ground till it's done with me
I've come to see that beauty
Is a thing
That is without grace

You are mine
Pennyroyal wine fly
Like an innocent child
That followed every line
Back to my enemy

Beautiful
At home with my history
And run the scarlet ink
With the tears of mercy
My battle wounds
Lay to rest in a treasure box
And thinking of the scars
As the jewels of my story

You are mine
Pennyroyal wine fly
Like an innocent child
That followed every line
Back to my enemy
Enemy
Enemy
Enemy
Enemy

Silverscreen

Stolen crown
Pillow down
All tangled in my hair
Evening gown
The lights downtown
All dangle in the air

The gates of heaven open
There is me
On the silverscreen
I hope they did good editing

Bell and beau
Buck and doe
A love of tender age
Jill and Joe
Dosy do
A tragedy on stage

The gates of heaven open
There is me
On the silverscreen
I hope they did good editing

Bye bye baby bye bye
Hello to my beautiful mind
Bye bye

Bye bye baby bye bye
Hello to my beautiful mind
Bye bye

Crystal ball
Padded walls
A bright blue TV Glare
A moth to light is as lost as I’m found
Far down cellar stair

The gates of heaven open
There is me
On the silverscreen
I hope they did good editing

Bye bye baby bye bye
Bye bye baby bye bye
Bye bye baby bye bye
Bye bye baby bye bye

Money money makes the world go round
Money money'll make you change your sound
If the price is right
If the price is right

If you want paper
If you want gold and silver
Learn now not later
People pay for what's familiar
No need to know yourself too well
You can trade in that saga you tell
For the song you know will sell

If you want cheddar
If you want smoke and roll better
Take off your sweater
To earn your varsity letter
It's a virgin feast for all
See how gracefully they fall
Into the mirrors on the wall
'Cause if you want to belong you write a sing-a-long

Money money makes the world go round
Money money'll make you change your sound
If the price is right
You forfeit your style without a fight
Who will be your beacon
The dark of night
Should have been truly bright

Where do we go
The freaks
On the fringe
When the edges are all rounded out
We just dangle out in space
You can call us when you need to find out
We go
The misfits
On the fringe
When the edges are all rounded out
We just dangle out in space
You can call us when you need to find out
What the real stars are all about

Time has turned and the scenery has changed
And all the books have
Burned
But the lyrics remain
Let the motherfucker burn let's change the refrain
Nobody need history
Repeatin’ tin tin tin tin

Money money makes the world go round
Money money'll make you change your sound
If the price is right
If the price is right

If you want skrilla
If you're a cheddar gorilla
Stack up your bills as
You sign away your free will
There's no need to represent
The truth of self has been well spent
Moving from mortgage out of rent
‘Cause if you want to belong you write a sing-a-long

Money money makes the world go round
Money money'll make you change your sound
If the price is right
You forfeit your style without a fight
Who will be your beacon
The dark of night
Should have been truly bright

Dreams in the hollow

Why do we
Want to be
Ballerinas when we grow up
Little boys dream the night away
With fighting fires
When we grow up

Torlege relevé rond de jambe
And round and up
Round and up
Firemen slide on down the pole and sound
The siren
Everybody up

All is well
In my sorrow
Isn't she a beauty
Burning hall
Ash and shadow
Here comes the hero

Little eyes
Small but wide
Young but wiser
All looking up
All looking up
For your hat
And your axe
And your yellow jacket
Daddy get up
Ash to ash dust to dust
None could muster
Daddy get up
Daddy get up
They see what you couldn't do
When consumed by fire

Days glow
Sleep in the hollow
Dreams in the hollow
Pesky old crow
Heather and thistle
No prints to follow
Hope that they follow
Hope's all they know

All is well in my sorrow
Isn't she a beauty
Burning hall
Ash and shadow
Here comes the hero

Oh I tried to put it out
But the big tree was falling
And now I find him reaching out
But the big tree it fell

Cross the sea
Her dancing broken dream
So I’m lacing up
I'm lacing up
For musing starts
In broken hearts
The most courageous beauty
So I’m lacing up
Mother's milk
Ragged silk
Chalk's in the hall tree
Tattered toe shoes
Broken toes
Relevé turn and pray
For mother's broken dancer

Days glow
Sleep in the hollow
Dreams in the hollow
Pesky old crow
Heather and thistle
No prints to follow
Hope that they follow
Hopes all they know

All is well in my sorrow
Isn't she a beauty
Burning hall
Ash and shadow
Here comes the hero

Love Is All We Have

The night before the night she came
Katrina the hurricane
Oh was calm
Calm for a land untame
That spill the boarders of New Orleans
Oh was calm
The plow boys played their old favorite "the city's on parade"
On parade
But deep in the heart of
The ocean
Their beds were made

Love me now
Love is all we have
Love me now
Love is all we have

And the rains that came
With the force of a runaway train
Oh run away
And the waters rose and the levies the levies
Broke
Oh run away
And the cradle broke my beloved
The cradle broke
Oh I must stay
For deep in the heart of
Our home
My beloved was washed away

Love me now
Love is all we have
Love me now
Love is all we have
Love me now
Love is all we have
Love me now
Love is all we ever really had

The old church bell
Is in the graveyard
The old church bell
Oh lace and stone
The naked feet
Pound the pavement
Of nameless streets
Oh faceless homes
But deep in the heart of
The American
Prayers for New Orleans

Love me now
Love is all we have
Love me now
Love is all we have
Love me now
Love is all we have
Love me now
Love is all we ever really had

Intelligentactile 101

Can I borrow your bones and marrow till i get my own
Lovely lovely lovely bones till i get my own
I won't tell my new friends that they're on loan
They won't know
It's no smart thing to do when you're far from home

Lucky lucky lucky lucky with a special friend
Well I hear that on planet earth that it's a sin big sin
We'll all the more fun for me to get lucky then

Oh I’m gonna be a baby girl
A round trip ticket to a blue planet
Flip a uuueyy at mars
Oh I’m gonna swim in the water first
Blowing up her belly though she didn't plan it
I took the invitation when she rocked the hammock
Pulling all the wild cards
And now I’m swinging from the stars
From an umbilical cord from an umbilical cord
From an umbilical cord feels like I’ve been here before

On my tongue on my tongue
I want your fingers on my tongue
I want some intelligent tactile
When foreign play things come
I'm gonna study ‘em with my tongue
I want some intelligentactile 101

Can I borrow your hips and your lips
And your wink and curl
Is I is or is I ain't one flossy girl
I'm gonna paint that planet red
‘Cause I’m in the world
In the world
And leave a trail of kisses when my loves unfurled

Will you steady my ground
Dizzy ground when I’m turned around
Dizzy dizzy dizzy ground
When I’m lost you'll found
Well I’m headed to planet earth to search the sound
Deep sound
So keep my compass wound when I’m on the ground

Oh I’m gonna be a baby girl
A round trip ticket to a blue planet
Flip a uuueyy at mars
Oh I’m gonna swim in the water first
Blowing up her belly though she didn't plan it
I took the invitation when she rocked the hammock
Pulling all the wild cards
And now I’m swinging from the stars
From an umbilical cord from an umbilical cord
From an umbilical cord feels like I’ve been here before

On my tongue on my tongue
I want your fingers on my tongue
I want some intelligent tactile
When foreign play things come
I'm gonna study ‘em with my tongue
I want some intelligent tactile
On my tongue on my tongue
I want your fingers on my tongue
I want some intelligent tactile
When foreign play things come
I'm gonna study ‘em with my tongue
I want some intelligentactile 101

Havoc in heavan

Red ribbon on which we ride
Carry us over horizon as the sun setting
Night puts on a phantom cloak
Sing violet light and evoke
The protection that violet evokes

Fasten your focus on your sole cause
Is your fruit and flowers on red ribbon
Swift justice comes delivery white bone demon

Oh oh oh oh
Begun the havoc in heaven
Oh oh oh oh
Begun the havoc in heaven

Deep deep in the green sea
There is a weapon for me
A pin that is fixing the sea
A pillar gold shiny
And if I can pull it free
The cudgel is coming with me

Fasten heave ho
Pillar of gold
Runs through the deepest darkest stone
Cudgel undone weighing one ton
Bring on your force white bone demon

Oh oh oh oh
Begun the havoc in heaven
Oh oh oh oh
Begun the havoc in heaven

Don't believe your eyes
When the maiden does arrive
You fool
She is the enemy
And do not trust the guise of a woman old and wise
For truly she is the white bone demon

Dance makaku’s round the fire
Warrior drums, banshee cryer
Call to them visions of her piar
Fulled by the demons throne
We shall subdue her to bone
And ashes to ashes her home

Fasten your focus on your soul
Cause is your fruit and flowers home
And in one blow
I smite down my foe
And ashes to ashes welcome home

Oh oh oh oh
Begun the havoc in heaven
Oh oh oh oh
Begun the havoc in heaven
Oh oh oh oh
Begun the havoc in heaven

Out the back door

When we rock the house watch the roof go bump
Watch the swingers swing on the floor
And all the brick houses
Gonna shake da rump
And all the swingers gonna swing it some more
And all you players gonna round em up
And all you lovers get ready to score
The beat gets harder when the love erupts
And all the flames shooting out the back door

And all the flames flicker red and then blue
And we cut that time in two in two
And baby I’m turning purple like you
When we move we move with wings on our shoes
Sickest angels you ever knew

And we're out the back door

Mellow in the cloudy
Knock it back get rowdy

Tick tock and it do not stop

Love and love again

( Written by Jesca Hoop and David Baerwald )

Come the sun
Heaven's rays
And the stormers are gone and the white cloth is raised
Golden days
And the city is in love again
And we dream
In a daze
And we drink and we dance and we throw cares away
Lovers gaze
And the city is in love

My heart was so dark dear
With you not here
And the cold wind's
All that would meet me at my door
I waved goodbye and wished you well
Life's a carousel
When it brings you round it never never tells
When you'll find yourself in love again

Love and love again
Love and love again

The merry-go-round never ends

I waved goodbye and wished you well
Life's a carousel
When it brings you round it never never tells
When you'll find yourself in love again

Bitter rose sour plum
And the birds sing to soothe where the roses were stung
Hearts undone
And the world is in love again
There's a spell on the air
And the sailors all drift and get lost in her hair
Hearts are bare
And the soldiers come home again

My eyes they grew dark dear
With you not here
And the cold wind's
All that would dance me round my floor

I waved goodbye and wished you well
Life's a carousel
When it brings you round it never never tells
When you'll find your self in love again

Love and love again
Love and love again

The round and round ride never ends

Whispering light

And we walk the road as long as the road goes
And we try to dodge the rock the valley throws
Revealer
Caught a fever
We all have a sinking stone

And when the road presents a twisting case of fate
A meaner irony to contemplate
The season
Comes with a reason
We all have a setting sun

Distance, mark of distance
Your burden is your brilliance
There’s a vessel
A hidden vessel in the stone

Difference not indifference
Your passion marks you different
And you wrestle
And how you’ll wrestle to come to know

The whispering light
The truth is often quite
Like it’s whispering in light
It can tell you how to break the fever
With light, the truth is often quite
Like it’s whispering in light
It can tell you how

And light is less and light is more in some
But don’t confuse the weather for the sun
Revealer
Magic healer
And when will your vision come

And lightning rods will guide your journey home
And revelations from a fist of bones
And when the rock weighs heavy in your soul
Just tell it that you have earned the right to know

Revealer
How to break the fever
You’ll carry it in
Like this demons your kin
And you’ll render its secrets then

Distance, mark of distance
Your burden is your brilliance
There’s a vessel
A hidden vessel in the stone

Difference not indifference
Your passion marks you different
And you wrestle
And how you’ll wrestle to come to know

The whispering light
The truth is often quite
Like it’s whispering in light
It can tell you how to break the fever
With light, the truth is often quite
Like it’s whispering in light
It can tell you how to break the fever
With light
The truth is often quite
Like it’s whispering in light
It can tell you how to

The kingdom

All of the fallen on the ground
Hollarin ground
I lay down a shrine and I
Come with the autumn
To tear it down
Orange and brown
And I lay a soft down
For all are waiting
All in line
Brethren bathin’
Bones in brine
Separate your light from lime
Our mortal bind

Under the spell of full November moon
Light on the broom
Frost in my room
In through the window
Came a ghost I knew

She paid me a visit while I was in my bed
Sleepy she said
"Sleep as though dead
For in the morning you are called"
Is what she said

To the high desert
War is raging
You must go to the battlefield
And follow the cry of men rampaging
And gather the ones that won’t heal

Down through a cloud of smoke to the promise land
Many are dead, river runs red
“For my god and for my king” is what he said

I came to my knees with my lips to his ear
My hand to his chest
his wounded breast
For my god and for my king I will not rest

But in the high desert
You are dying
For your god and his ghost and the son
Do not hold to the earth on which you are lying
For the kingdom can never be won

All of the fallen under ground
Hollarin ground
I lay down a shrine and i
Come with the autumn to
Tear it down
Orange and brown
And I lay a soft down

For all are waiting
All in line
Brethren bathing bones in brine
Separate your light from lime
Let go of the earth

Feast of the heart

And there’s a light switch, baby you turned it on
Don’t you ever leave me here in the dark
And there’s a red room deep in my house
You come and meet me and I’ll lay down a feast of the heart

And there’s a light switch, baby you turned it on
Don’t you ever leave me here in the dark
And there’s a red room deep in my house
You come and meet me and I’ll lay down a feast of the heart

'Cause your skin’s medicine
Wanna bear it all, wanna wear it on me
Lose all reverence ‘til we become one with god

Your beautiful body
I want more, more
Hold it upon me
'Cause I'm yours

I wanna eat my heart
Boy you make me feel
Wanna eat my heart
You make me feel
Wanna be your blood
Boy you make me feel
Wanna be your blood
Boy you make me feel

And there's a light switch baby you turned it on
Don't you ever leave me here in the dark
And there's a red room deep in my house
You come and meet me and I'll lay down a feast of the heart

And there's a light switch baby you turned it on
Don't you ever leave me here in the dark
And there's a red room deep in my house
You come and meet me and I'll lay down a feast of the heart

'Cause I’m your kiss to kiss
Your intimate kitten, pleasure mission
Lose it all to bliss ‘til we become one with god

Your beautiful body
I want more, more
Hold it upon me
'Cause I'm yours, yours, yours, yours

I wanna eat my heart
Boy you make me feel
Wanna eat my heart
Boy you make me feel
Wanna be your blood
Boy you make me feel
Wanna be your blood
Boy you make me feel

Wanna eat my heart
Boy you make me feel
Wanna eat my heart
Boy you make me feel
Wanna be your blood
Boy you make me feel
Wanna be your blood
Boy you make me feel

Wanna eat my heart
Boy you make me feel
Wanna eat my heart
Boy you make me feel
Wanna be your blood
Boy you make me feel
Wanna be your blood
Boy you make me feel

I’m your kiss to kiss
Your intimate kitten, pleasure mission
Lose it all to bliss ‘til we become one with god

Angel mom

Today on my birthday
You were home when I arrived
You were standing in the doorway
When I pulled into the drive

An excitement came over me
And I rushed out of the car
And I jumped up
To be carried in your arms

I haven’t felt that way
Since I was a child
A grown woman jumping up and down
Like I was a child

The dream went dark when I awoke
And I remembered that you are gone
And I struggled there to fall back asleep
When I remembered that you are gone

And my grief was deep and my joy was high
Because you visited me from beyond
On my birthday
You visited me from beyond

I haven’t felt that way
Since I was a child
A grown woman jumping up and down
Like I was a child

My love
My love’s missing
My love’s far gone
And where will I find her

My heart
My heart’s rambling
My heart’s far gone
And where will I find her

Hey hey hi do you hear me
I feel somehow you are here
For when I talk to you
I intensely feel you are listening
My only wish
I wish that I could hear your voice
Angel mom

Later that day
Driving in my car
We turned on the radio
We were watching the graveyard stones pass by
And the songs that come and go
And the DJ played a song called Enemy
It was a song you knew I wrote
On my birthday
You were telling that you know

I haven't felt that way
Since I was a child
A grown woman jumping up and down
Like I was a child

My love
My love’s missing
My love’s far gone
Where will I find her

My heart
My heart’s rambling
My heart’s far gone
Where will I find her

My love
My love’s missing
My love’s far gone
Where will I find her

My heart
My heart’s rambling
My heart’s far gone
Where will I find her

Hey hey hi do you hear me
I feel somehow you are here
For when I talk to you
I intensely feel you are listening
My only wish
I wish that I could hear your voice
Angel mom

Four dreams

Come and bring your stereo
Come and bring your stereo
And lay down on my pillow
Down into a dream we go
Down into a dream we go
You never know where we’ll go

Under the shelter of a willow tree
Sam and I awoke where we were once sleeping
The bed that we lay upon is chamomile
And it smells like bubble gum for real
Skunk and owl and doe
Gather round my radio
Oh

Then with a resonance that split the earth
The skunk cried a call like one I’ve never heard
And from the crevice a cuckoo clock emerged
And from it a little wooden bird
It spread apart its beak
And time began to speak

I’ll gift you one two three
Songs as old as me

Come and bring your stereo
Come and bring your stereo
And lay down on my pillow
Down into a dream we go
Down into a dream we go
You never know where we’ll go

Climbing a statue that stands fifty feet
The cast of a woman that looks just like me
To find that my character was caught completely
Cemented from head down to my feet
A bee flew from my nose
He said come and bring your stereo
Oh

Down through my throat to what seemed my teeth
The bee tuned the stereo to bump a beat
And she began a buzzin’ in the key of B
All to instigate the crumbling of concrete
The mask fell from my skin
Left me younger than I’ve ever been

I’ll gift you one two three
Youth eternally

Eta, my sweet little Loretta
I love it when you put the warm milk and honey in my bowl
Get up now don’t you go and get up
I'm gonna show you how I love my Jelly Roll

Oh how I love my Johnny boy
And if you ever leave baby me I’ll be destroyed
Let's make a baby Johnny boy
Right here in this living room and we’ll call her June

Come and bring your stereo
Come and bring your stereo
And lay down on my pillow
Down into a dream we go
Down into a dream we go
You never know where we’ll go

One summer evening at a block party
The juice from the ghetto blaster was fading
So we highjacked electrical piracy
Because nobody had a battery
And the gods of rock and roll
Hypnotized my stereo

I'll gift you one two three
Ad Rock, MCA, Mike D

Come and bring your stereo
Come and bring your stereo
And lay down on my pillow
Down into a dream we go
Down into a dream we go
You never know where we’ll go

Tell me bring your stereo
Tell me bring your stereo
And lay down on my pillow
Down into a dream we go
Down into a dream we go
You never know where we’ll go

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

Murder of birds

I'm not a bird
I'm a murder of birds
Shifting my shape
When your tongue finds the words

Like I hate you when I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the most

This shape of a snake
In a defensive coil
Same retracted lips
Of the one foolish girl

Says she hates you when she
Loves you the most
Loves you the most
Loves you

And I’ve got demons when I need 'em
Don't ask to see them they're not supposed to be used against
You oh

Can we build a safe house
Far from the bitter bride
And we'll make a home with a brown recluse
And the cobra locked outside

For the spider we'll give a web
To the cobra a lullaby
And keeping the demons happy
You make free for me to fly

And the shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
In a wake of twisted thread
From the loving words you said
Hmmm

And I think I’m alone
In desire for grace
For you unleash your mood
And I’m no longer safe

I say I hate you and I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the most

This shape of my breast
And a shape of my kiss
Dement and coil
With a slither and hiss

Said I hate you and I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you

And I’ve got demons when I need 'em
Don't ask to see them they're not supposed to be used against
You oh

Can we build a safe house
Far from the bitter bride
And we'll make a home with a brown recluse
And the cobra locked outside

To the spider we'll give a web
To the cobra a lullaby
And keeping the demons happy
You make free for me to fly

And the shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
In a wake of twisted thread
From the loving words you said

The shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
In a wake of twisted thread
From the loving words you said

'Cause I’m not a bird
I'm a murder of birds

Bed across the sea

LA is hot as fuck
And Manchester is about to freeze
You’re on your way to the mail
To get a letter from me

And as of our seperation
At the Ancienne Belgique
I rock you every night
In a bed across the sea

Words are all we have for touch
They are our fingers
And I love our words so much
Write your lips to kiss me now
And I can taste you as I read
Your words out loud

You rise and start your day
With toast and black tea
While I’m in the still of night and pushing back sleep
And I ride the hands of the clock
‘Til they fall upon three
And drop me in our virtual garden for elevenses

Words are all we have for touch
They are our fingers and I love our words so much
And write your hands between my legs
And I can feel you as the words jump from the page

The sky is bruised
It’s a lusty dusk
With lover's rouge
Wet with sap and musk
Under you
Under dream spell dust under you
And it's true
And I know that I must
And with you
I immediately trust
And it’s so
That I fell at first blush
And it’s snowing in Australia

Just now your letter came
And the pages did say
That you’ll fly from your home to mine
On January 8th
And just now I find that I can just barely wait
And from now until that time
I'm counting down the days

Words are all we have for touch
They are our fingers and I love our words so much
And write yourself inside me now
And I can feel you as the words come pouring out

Words are all we have for touch
They are our fingers and I love our words so much
Write your dreams out line by line
And I will stitch them in this heart of mine

It’s me
I’m in Australia

Tulip

Ada, my rarest bulb from the desert valley
Your hair of fire and skin of snow
Have caused me to the heights of the desert mountains
In search of a cure for a rampant fever
Your beauty’s power has plagued me now
I come and scour the land for the desert flower

For beauty and perfume I stake my house and my lands
The gold is sleeping in the river but the flower’s in my hand
With a paler leaf and a broken petal I’ll bait the king and queen
And to the goldsmith with my flower I’ll buy a wedding ring

Tulip, tulip, with one what I did buy
Oxen, sheep and wheat and rye
And land on the north seaside
Tulip, tulip, with one what I did buy
The finest dresses man could buy
And a pearl for to bait my bride

Then with my rarest bulb to her father’s garden
And like gold for lamb or wool for clam
I gave that man the bulb for his daughter Ada
Your heart is mine and it’s mine forever
And she replied “My faith that lies on yon horizon’s tethered me to the sky”

The match arranged and vows exchanged and the dove flew away
The bells spilled out the hollow canyon on our wedding day
To me she gave her hand until death do us part
But the birds will nest with the one that she has promised her heart

Tulip, tulip, with one what I did buy
The bed from which our sons will rise and the window where she cries
Tulip, tulip, with one what I did buy
A net to catch the birds that fly from the window where she cries

He reaches out and I withdraw
Spilling the flowering bribes from his paw
The broken petals climbing the walls
Stealing my oxygen, no air at all
From the bed I hear him call but I answer cooing when the night falls
The cotton sword is storming the hall
Cutting my vision to no sight at all

I tied the tulip round her neck like a red lead sinker
And blindfold her and spin her round and round and round
To the banks of the river
And then walk my true love in to the rushing water
And by her long hair bleeding red hair
Pull my love there under until she drown

For beauty and perfume I’d stake my house and my land
My love is sleeping in the river but the flower’s in my hand
With a paler leaf and a broken petal I’ll keep her all to me
And to the river with my flower I’ll hear my true love sing

No water is still my friend
Ready to drown
Water, water, oh water my kin
Carry me out
This iron river is mercy at last
Die as she laughs
For he is waiting where the doves nest
My true love

Tulip, tulip, with one what I did buy
The veil that parted over my bride
And her breath as my true love dies
Tulip, tulip, with one what is did buy
The veil that parted over my bride
And the blue from her bluest eyes

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

Hunting my dress

And the tall trees all fall down
And they scatter seeds on the ground
And one is lost and one is found
Water is moving underground

When I was a young girl
I would sleep in a tall tree
On the down of bending boughs
And from the mount of his shoulders
I would traverse the valleys
Through his dusk
And dawning eyes

“I will let you in,” said the doe to my arrow,
“And you will wear my bones and my skin”

Hunting my dress
Love is ruthless

And in a nest from the forest
I would carry and ember
And with a burning heart we’d walk
And when he asks me to rest with him
I would lay down my fire
And in that heart we’d sing and talk

I am a raccoon and you are an owl
I will run from you in the mid of night
And we will strike a truce in the billowing tower
And we’ll eclipse the moon with our firelight

Hunting my dress
Love is ruthless

You love me in my dreams
It’s easier when I’m fast asleep
But I don’t want you to come to me anymore
The river bed has married me
But I don’t want you to come to me anymore

And out of ashes comes morning
And the ritual if bathing
In the pools at bridal falls
And from the mouth of my lover
I would drink of the river
And kiss his jade and marble walls

You will spill the red from my heart with your arrow
And you will make my bed under the red grass
And I will give my flesh
And my blood and my marrow
And you will wear my bones and my skin

Hunting my dress
Love is ruthless

And the tall trees all fall down
And they scatter seeds on the ground
And one is lost and one is found
Water is moving underground

And you're the one who showed to me the sky
It's so much more than you and I
And darling I wish I had the time
The river is whispering goodbye
Bye
Bye

Born To

Held all within these flesh walls
Pair of dice and domino
Seven fingers and thirteen toes
Wind her up and watch her go
Spin her out of dust into rock and fire
Oh holy water
Throw her to the earth through the burning air
Oh bang survivor

And now you've gotta get it with what you’ve got
With what you’ve been given or not
Now you've gotta get it with what you’ve got
With what you’ve been given or not
I was born to

Held all within these flesh walls
Envelopes and time capsules
Mark her fingers and mark her throat
Spin her round and let her go
Send her like a cup to her mothers table
Swallow, drink the water
Watch her play her part in a long fixed fable
Oh as her father’s daughter
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And now you've gotta get it with what you’ve got
With what you’ve been given or not
Now you've gotta get it with what you’ve got
With what you’ve been given or not
I was born to, I was born to
I was born to, I was born to

Through the burning air
Through the burning air

And now you've gotta get it with what you’ve got
With what you’ve been given or not
Now you've gotta get it with what you’ve got
With what you’ve been given or not
I was born to, I was born to
I was born to, I was born to
I was born

Pack Animal

In the mirror
The mirror
There you are again
Wearing my green eyes
My brown hair and my aging skin
My body is your bed
Dear reflection you're my oldest friend
And where you go I go
End of eternity and back again

And I don’t wanna be here
All by myself in this strange house
It won't let me out
Don’t wanna be here
All by myself in this strange house
It won't let me out

It's a new day
A new day
Here you are again
Speaking in my voice
With my tongue
In my brain
My voice is echoing
Dear reflection it's a sad refrain
How we endure the hours
And in my arms we sleep alone again
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And I don’t wanna be here
All by myself in this strange house
It won't let me out
Don’t wanna be here
All by myself in this strange house
It won't let me out
It's unnatural
I'm a pack animal

I need it heart to heart
Mouth to mouth
And bones to bones

And I don’t wanna be here
All by myself in this strange house
It won't let me out
Don’t wanna be here
All by myself in this strange house
It won't let me out

Don’t wanna be here
All by myself in this strange house
It won't let me out
Don’t wanna be here
All by myself in this strange house
It won't let me out

Don’t wanna be here
Be here, be here

Peacemaker

Put on your peacemaker blue
Warrior, warrior
Powder horn pepperbox boom
Warrior, warrior
Matchlock rifle cycle axe and club
Talon dagger marble razor

Put on your peacemaker
And call upon your
God of war, god of war

Enyo anat chemosh oracle
Arm us guard us bring us home
Stay home I beg you oh my lover
My lover, my lover
Or I will not serve you as your lover
Your lover, your lover
Dita corset stockings and thigh cuffs
Hornet playsuit oil diamond dust
Until you draw action from a higher resonance
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I will tamp the lamp light in our window
I will drown the fire in our bed
Through my legs I will withhold from you passage

And from my lips to take
Tongue and taste
Sex and make
Milk in your baby
Swords enraged
Fuck me babe
Pray abstain girls reign

Put down your peacemaker blue
Warrior, warrior
Beaten and broken and bruised
Warrior, warrior
Come and I'll unlock your chain link armour
Seven baths absolve your blood stained honor
Your honor
Tell the water of

The bread in the basket
The game on the fire
The milk in the jar
The milk in the jar
The babe in the cradle
The mothers in bed
Asleep in the dark
Asleep in the dark
Your circled the cabin and broke down the door
You broke down the door
You broke down the door
You emptied the cradle and ravished the bed
You ravished the store
And fired your torch

Now I take you to the bed and there you lay
I drop my dress and feed your hungry eye
Until you draw action from a higher resonance
I will tamp the lamplight in our window
I will drown the fire in our bed
Through my legs I'll withhold from you passage
And from my lips to take
Tongue and taste
Sex and make
Milk in your baby
Swords enraged
Fuck me babe
Pray abstain girls reign

Hospital (Win your love)

Just my luck
Today’s the day, man, that hurt
It's worth the pain
There’s a new queen in this house
She’s plastered up
Behold the sight, just look up
Fluorescent light
Have I gone to heaven or to hospital

I'm dreaming of the hospital
I'm dreaming of mom and dad
Look at me like they did back when
I’m born again
Daddy’s girl and Mama’s princess
Sister Jen
She doesn’t exist till when
I need something
She’ll bring me ice creams

'Cause I’m in hospital
I’m dreaming of the hospital
I’m dreaming of the date with the doctor is a golden ticket
I want your attention now I’m gonna get it
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And now come on you cunt come come on and hit me
There’s no kind of attention that a black eye wouldn’t get me

And there’s nothing like a broken arm to win your love
There’s nothing like a fresh abrasion to win your love
You can work on your bedside manner
And you can kiss it till it feels better
And there’s nothing like a broken arm to win your love

Oh my old friends
I’m voting you out or in
You envy me
I walk through red carpet to my cast signing
A crayon or a marker pen
And all of the It girls ask me what it’s like in hospital

I’m dreaming of the hospital
I’m dreaming of the hospital
It's dreamy

And the date with the doctor is a golden ticket
I want your attention now I’m gonna get it
And now come on you cunt come come on and hit me
There’s no kind of attention that a black eye wouldn’t get me

And there’s nothing like a broken arm
To win your love
There’s nothing like a fresh abrasion to win your love
You can work on your bedside manner
You can kiss it till it feels better
And there’s nothing like a broken arm
To win your love

I got five weeks, forty one days, one thousand glorious hours
To wave my arm and get what I want with my new found powers
But this is not a fairytale with a happy ending
When the clock strikes twelve will I ever find your love again

And there’s nothing like a broken arm to win your love
There’s nothing like a fresh abrasion to win your love
And you can work on your bedside manner
And you can make me feel like I matter
And there’s nothing like a broken arm to win your love

The House That Jack Built

I carried a bag of rock and stone full of memory
Of our family
Aboard a plane to Tulsa
Five years of waiting for his life to end suddenly
Tearing its way through me
All of the way to Tulsa

It’s not enough
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
To know you through them

I walked through the door of living room that I do not know
To a couch where he slept alone
In the bone yard of the house that jack built
My brothers were sorting through his fine shoes and fine cologne
Pictures of our childhood home
The glory of the house that jack built
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
To know you through them

Purple hearts and racing cars and the words for her you wrote
Your deal was raw but you loved us all and we know it note for note

Now they tell us of your life until the end
Your sister and your best friend
The stories are a revelation
All of a brother and a sailor and an honourable man
A boy driving as fast as he can
To this man I have no relation

It’s not enough
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
To know you through them

Purple hearts and racing cars and the words for her you wrote
Your deal was raw but you loved us all and we know it note for note
Purple hearts and racing cars and the words for her you wrote
Your deal was raw but you loved us Pa and we know it note for note

Ode To Banksy

My pencil is dull
My pencil is dull
There’s not much lead left in my pencil
My marker ran dry
Was a scribblin night
And there’s not much lead left in my pencil
There’s not an activity at all
There’s no wheels a turnin in my skull
In my skull, in my skull

Oh oh oh
I'm in love with Jacques Cousteau
You take me deeper than I ever go
And that’s the reason why I'll leave you

Oh oh oh
Making love when ad we’ve just begun
I need assistance from your aqualung
And that’s the reason why I’ll leave you

And oh my mystery man
You’re so oh oh oh
You’re so provocative so underground
And I never wanna see your face
You come oh oh oh
You come invisible to paint the town

My pencil is dull
My pencil is dull
There’s not much lead left in my pencil
My marker ran dry
Was a scribblin night
And there’s not much lead left in my pencil
There’s not an activity at all
There’s no wheels a turnin in my skull
In my skull, in my skull
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Oh oh oh
Suicide bombers just need a hug
Get that bomb strapped on nice and snug
Let my divine love relieve you

Oh oh oh
Tonight’s the night go and oil your gun
We’ll turn the quick stop to emporium
Let my divine light lead you

And oh my mystery man
You’re so oh oh oh
You’re so provocative, so underground
And I never wanna see your face
You come oh oh oh
You come invisible to paint the town

Go on guerrilla pull your hoods up
And the billboards yours this time
And shake your paint can and throw your piece up
Then you run for your righteous crime

Oh oh oh ring around the fat man
Around little boy
Daddy gave me this fantastic toy
Let's go and find out what it can do

Oh oh oh
Ashes to ashes and we all fall down
There’s nothing standing for miles around
I guess we found out what it can do

And oh my mystery man
Oh my mystery man
You’re so oh oh oh
You’re so provocative, so underground
And I never wanna see your face
You come oh oh oh
You come invisible to paint the town

My stencil is dope
My stencil is dope
Just follow the rope to my stencil
Tiananman square mickey d’s in the air
'Cause there’s not much lead left in my pencil
There’s not an activity at all
There’s no wheels a turning in my skull
In my skull, in my skull
In my skull, in my skull
In my skull, in my skull

Dig This Record

Dig this record
Dig this record now
Dig it like you never dug one before
'Cause it's so far out

Find your lover
Lay your lover down
Make a moment to remember
And relive through this sound

Dig it out of the basement now
Out from under the Van Gogh owl
Dig it out from the discard and onto the record player
Now that I’m gone and far away

I am in a flood
I'm about to sink
I am tits up in the water without a drop to drink
I look for my saviour
He’s nowhere to be found
So I hang on to my guitar like a lifeboat till we both drown

Dig it out of the basement now
Out from under the Van Gogh owl
Dig it out from the discard and onto the record player
Now that I’m gone and far away
Now that I’m gone and far away
Now that I’m gone and far away

Dig this record
Dig this record now
Dig it like you never dug one before
'Cause it's so far out

I am on the drift
I am out to sea
You know this poor world couldn’t put a price on the likes of me
Turn to your lover
Kiss your lover's mouth
There’s no others I'd rather be with as my song plays out
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Dig it out of the basement now
Out from under the Van Gogh owl
Dig it out from the discard and onto the record player
Now that I’m gone and far away
Now that I’m gone and far away
Now that I’m gone and far away

Now that I’m gone and far away
Now that I’m gone and far away
Now that I’m gone and far away
Now that I’m gone and far away

DNR

Winter’s dark morning woke my dad
The diabetic didn’t feel his feet step out of bed
The truck filled with TV dinners
Needing delivering round town
He would drive behind the paper boy throwin’ them headlines out

And no antidepressant of sort
Could change the weather report
When the wind chill factor was high he took the whole bottle down
He’s got his paperwork now

DNR, DNR, DNR
DNR, DNR, DNR

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, he raised his kids up right
But being raised in the light of Christ adds insult to injury that night
When the mail order brides and the phone sex and his negligence became real
The wall covered in spit how’s it to make your teenage daughters feel
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
He called his flame that never died
She could hear something weren’t right
Now we’ve got one more failed attempt at a suicide
Keep it right by your side

DNR
By no heroic measure
DNR
Restart restart his heart
DNR, DNR, DNR, DNR

A lonely heart was the black hole that did him in
From the first attempt to his current critical condition
Now we're talking over who will take the dog if he’s gonna make it through again
And we're taking turns tell him the stories of the good times worth remembering
And then my sister asked
Are we praying for him to pass
And no one dared speak out loud but we all knew
And pushed the paperwork through

DNR
By no heroic measure
DNR
Restart restart his heart
DNR, DNR, DNR
DNR, DNR, DNR
DNR, DN

Deeper Devastation

I don’t trust anyone
Not you
And the closer you come
Deeper devastation

I’m a baby bird
I’m a hungry bird
And I feed from your gut
And the wind blows
And the tree shakes
And your beak stabs my throat

Under the power of
Our one and only sun

There’s a kink in the pattern
Do you do the right thing
There’s a hole in the fabric
Do you do the right thing
You cannot trust a human being to do the right thing
Do the right
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Under the power of
Our one and only sun

And there once was a time
With you
But it turned on a dime
And tales call the decision

I’m a lover wild
I’m a loyal child
And I’ve burned your eyes on mine
When the bones collide
And the rocks catch fire
And your greed swallows me whole

Under the power of
Our one and only sun

There’s a kink in the pattern
Do you do the right thing
There’s a hole in the fabric
Do you do the right thing
You cannot trust a human being to do the right thing
Do the right

Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only sun

I’m a bleeding heart
I’m a hiding heart
And I can bleed and hide and still love
When the truths blown wide
And my faith’s capsized
I drift in loss and sorrow

Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only sun

There’s a kink in the pattern
Do you do the right thing
There’s a hole in the fabric
Do you do the right thing
And it is all in the planning
Do you do the right thing
You cannot trust a human being to do the right thing
Do the right

Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only

When I’m Asleep

You gotta bring the bread to the table
You gotta bring the bread on home
So you dance for the rain and the sun and the wind
And you pray for your crops to grow

And every morning till sundown
You work your hands to the bone
You keep your head high and your eyes wide
Diamond in your mind and you bring the bread home
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
But when I'm asleep
When I'm asleep
I'm not anyone
You’re not anywhere

But when I'm asleep
When I'm asleep
I'm not anyone
You’re not anywhere

And you know I gotta win your heart babe
You know I gotta win your love
So I promise the moon and the stars and the sea
And I pray to the stars above

With every beat my hearts skipping
You’ll know what I'm made of
I keep light on and the bed warm
Shelter from the storm and I'm keepin our love

But when I'm asleep
When I'm asleep
I'm not anyone
You’re not anywhere

When I'm asleep
When I'm asleep
I'm not anyone
You’re not anywhere

And my mouth doesn’t talk back to me
And my plans don’t have to be
And my back doesn’t feel gravity
And my dreams go back to sleep

And you know I gotta make it to heaven
You know I gotta save my soul
So I marry the lord and I drink from the scars
And I swear off my worldly ways

And every second a baby
Is born through his mother's bones
And torn from grace gotta find your faith
Or the devil's gonna claim your soul

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
I'm not anyone
You’re not anywhere

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
I'm not anyone
You’re not anywhere...

Baby boy

( Live )

Because my baby boy
He's got my heart in wraps
Better believe my baby knows he's met his match
Oh yes my lover boy
He always got my back
If ever an adversary attacks and that's a fact.

In two days tarot reveals cupid's arrow
Aurora I might have to glow, oh
Feathers of a dove guide
And ??? Our love
Because you love her, love her, love her

And your love turns into punch
And you'll do anything drunk
Uh my ocean
And 'cause he sunk

On a champagne descent
Whilst you live is therein
Because you love her, love her, love her

Baby boy
You've got my heart in wraps
Better believe my baby knows he's met his match
Oh yes my lover boy
He always got my back
If ever an adversary attacks and that's a fact

Strong arms
Wrapped around
Delirium
On the ground

Under the sky her deeper blue eyes
Make the ocean feel shy
On a desert dry skin
There grows a garden
Because you love her, love her, love her
And now in the garden
You say that since you pick your lip
On a granite smiles and face
And you keep on digging
Throughout the winter fat or thin
Because you love her, love her love her

On a stormy ship
On a sunny ??? ???
Fashion bringing back blue
On a paramount
In a god of fon???
I am always in love with you

Sing it with me
Baby boy
You've got my heart in wraps
Better believe my baby knows he's met his match
Oh yes my lover boy
He always got my back
If ever an adversary attacks and that's a fact

Strong arms
Wrapped around
Delirium
On the ground.

Big Fish

( Silverscreen Demos EP )

I made up my mind
I’m leaving this town
I’m leaving this town
You won’t find me look around

After twenty years of carving my name in the wet cement
Hand your head down and lament
You won’t find me look around

Baby boy, baby boy
Don’t follow me
I’m a seed, I’m a seed, I’m a seed
From a dandelion wish
With intent to be big fish
In the sea in the sea in the sea

I made up my mind
I’m leaving this town
I’m leaving this town
You won’t find me look around

After twenty years of carving my name in the wet cement
Hand your head down and lament
You won’t find me look around

Baby boy, baby boy, set me free
Don’t sabotage
Don’t hide away my key
I’m a lark inside a cage
And the world is but a stage
For to sing, for to sing, for to sing

I made up my mind
I’m leaving this town
I’m leaving this town
You won’t find me look around

After twenty years of carving my name in the wet cement
Hand your head down and lament
You won’t find me look around

From a dandelion wish
With intent to be big fish
In the sea in the sea in the sea
In the sea in the sea in the sea...

( Live )

Lay your head on my breast close your eyes and call upon rest
Your could be my baby child, how tenderly I feel about you
And I can see for miles and miles the foreign land in my mind
And would you come here be near me
Lay awake with me till dawn breaks
And take my love no price to pay
I don’t wanna make you mine
I just wanna hold you baby so fine
Lay your head on my breast close your eyes and call upon rest
I have let down I have let down I have let down a wall I have let down
We fall and humble down to grace
Boy you take me down since you endeared me to you all of my pain has gave way
And love has healed my wounded dove
Boy you take me down
Lay your head on my breast close your eyes and call upon rest

City bird, city bird
Fly away from my window
From my window
'Cause you don't sing
Like the birds from home sing
Your song is dying

I set the table
For the ghosts in my home, my home
And pour the wine, and raise a glass
For the guests in my home

They enter in
In their skin and in their bones, still in their bones
The vision scares, but none compares
To the dread of drinking alone

After the tower was turned to a tomb
The underworld refugees all refused by the banker
They can never go in
So I let them in

Oh city bird, city bird
Fly away from my window
From my window
'Cause you don't sing
Like the birds from home sing
Your song is dying

I light the candle
For the ghosts in my home, my home
And say a prayer to please send care
For the guests in my home
But in their sleep
They claw and scream the devil home
(The devils come home)
But that nightmare
Does not compare to the demons in sleeping alone

After the tower was turned to a tomb
The underworld refugees all refused by the banker
And with nowhere to go
They wash up on Skid Row

Oh city bird, city bird
Fly away from my window, from my window
'Cause you don't sing
Like the birds from home sing
Your song is dying

If there is trouble in the deep blue sea
There is trouble in me
Trouble in me now
Trouble in the deep blue sea
There is trouble in me
Well your house in the hill
The fat on your face
Your green rolling bills
And your heavy iron gate
If you live in the big bad world-
No stone steel or name
Could separate your from beyond
That gate in any type of way.

You just might be protected
By the front lines from attack
But on levels of soul dear you
You can’t avoid impact

If there is trouble in the deep blue sea
There is trouble in me
Trouble in me now
Trouble in the deep blue sea
There is trouble in me

Fixit men

( Silverscreen Demos EP )

You got to keep them fixit men fed you get
You got to keep them buttered and breaded
You got to keep them sweet
Sweet things said
No love at the door they won't come no more.

My oh my
My pipes is dry
What I’m gonna do with dry pipes
Forlorn it's early morn
What I’m gonna do with dry pipes

I call my man but he won't stand
Cause all I paid him was a bag of sand
Now baby what I’m gonna do with dry pipes
Oh boy, now what I’m gonna do with dry pipes

You got to keep them fixit men fed you get
You got to keep them buttered and breaded
You got to keep them sweet
Sweet things said
No love at the door they won't come no more.

No fun my car won't run
What about the car that won't run
Work work gotta get to work
What about the car that won't run

I call my man but he won't stand
‘Cause all I paid him was to shake my hand
Now baby what about the car that won't run
Oh boy, now what about the car that won't run.

You got to keep them fixit men fed you get
You got to keep them buttered and breaded
You got to keep them sweet
Sweet things said
No love at the door they won't come no more

Roof roof got a leaky roof
What I’m gonna do 'bout that roof
Drip drop the rain won't stop
What I’m gonna do 'bout that roof

I call my man but he won't stand
Cause nothing’s sizzling in the frying pan
Frying pan

You got to keep them fix it men fed better get it
Got to keep them buttered and breaded
You got to keep them sweet
Sweet things said
No love at the door they won't come no more
No love at the door they won't come no more
No love at the door they won't come no more

Flume

(Bon Iver cover / The Voice Project Session)

I am my mother's only one
It's enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

I am my mother on the wall
With us all
I move in water, shore to shore
Nothing's more

Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leery loons
Leaving rope burns, reddish ruse

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

( Live )

It wasn't the leprechaun
It wasn't the Easter bunny
It wasn't Santa Claus
With his cider paws
And his bag of coal
That stole my child
Made me grow old

The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man
The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man

It wasn't the day go down
It wasn't the burning sound
It wasn't years go by and mama died and went under ground
That stole my child made me grow old

The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man
The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man

Now daddy was a man like the heroes on TV
Until I caught him chasing the cat up a tree
And he made the world go round
He made the sun go down
The day I met my dad was the day that I met gravity
The day I met my dad was the day that I touched down
Touched down
Touched down
Touched down

The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man
The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man

Do as I say to do
Not as you see me do
Well I saw you do it
Saw your soul go down in hell
It's just as well
Better than lies

The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man
The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man

Now daddy was the man like the heroes on TV
Until I caught him chasing the cat up a tree

And he made the world go round
He made the sun go down
They day I met my dad was the day that I met gravity
The day I met my dad was the day that I touched down
Touched down
Touched down
Touched down
Touched down

( Silverscreen Demos EP )

The come and they go
My woes and my joy
I know getting attached to that temporal toil
Is…is…is…is ignorant

They ebb and they flow
My frowns and my smiles
I know getting attached to that miracle mile
Is…is…is…is ignorant

State of bliss
Tell me are you happiness
Something’s gone terrible wrong
If you are the other than this

Turn out the sun
All of your golden days are gone
There’s a world better than this one is your favourite song

Observe and then note
The flux in your power
Your efficiencies in spinning your hour to hour
Is…is…is significant

Deserve and then don’t
Your bouquet of flowers
The universal candy is bitter-sweet-salty
And sour get …get…get…get used to it

State of bliss
Tell me are you happiness
Something’s gone terribly wrong
If you are other than this

Go get your gun
No need in leaving the safety on
I’m going higher one day is your favourite song

Yeah they come
Sure as they go
Yeah they come
Sure as they go
So they come
Sure as they go
Yes they come
Sure as they go
Sure as they go

Life within a life
Has ended and begun
Again my tune is sung
Oh yeah
We sail into the sun
Light and brightest night
Dark and dismal day
Has ended and begun
In out and in of one
We sail into the sun

Life within a life
Has ended and begun
In out and in of one
Oh yeah
We sail into the sun
Light and brightest night
Has ended and begun
In out and in of one
We sail into the sun

Light and brightest night
Dark and dismal day
Has ended and begun
In out and in of one
We sail into the sun

Make me dance

What I know is it's raining and I’m alone
Ooh I like to call you on the phone
If only I had your number
I'd take you for my lover
All my own

Do you know
I rehearse the lines
I'll say to you
Then you'll say to me
And how I set my eyes
I think about all the things I did say to you
Now I’ve been wasting time
Waiting on our coincidental meeting
I'm hanging on your line
Oh you got your strings tied to me
Well if you're such
The puppeteer
Then while you have me here

Make me dance
Make me dance
Make me dance
Oh no no no no
Woah lord there's a fool on the floor
From flopping his ?chance/chairs?
Oh no no no no
Me dance
Make me dance
Make me dance
Oh no no no no
Woah lord there's a fool on the floor
Come on for the ants crawled up my pants
Me dance

I think of a lingerie
To the cafe
My sisters my ???
I want people staring at me
I'll sting my lips with sugar peas
I wear high heel galoshes
Oh the 'oh my goshes' that be

Do you know
I rehearse the lines
I'll say to you
Then you'll say to me
And how I set my eyes
I think about all the things you did say to me
Now I’ve been wasting time
Waiting on our coincidental meeting
I'm hanging on your line
Ooh you got your strings tight on me
Well if you're such
The puppeteer
Then while you have me here

Make me dance
Make me dance
Make me dance
Oh no no no no
Woah lord there's a fool on the floor
From flopping his chance
Oh no no no no
Me dance
Make me dance
Make me dance
Oh no no no no
Woah lord there's a fool on the floor
Come on for the ants crawled up my pants
Me dance

What I know is it's raining and I’m alone
Ooh I like to call you on the phone
If only I had your number
I'd take you for my lover
All my own

( Live )

Choo da choo choo
Come the chariot to carry me away
Boohoo da boohoo
Carry me away my misery
All alone trying to beat
The cold in my shack
Feel the work and the lack
Of touch on my back
Smart people say
You don’t know what you have
Tell it’s gone away
Who is gonna miss me
Who is gonna miss me
All the tests
And all that’s missed and lost
Honey you can’t afford the cost
Bailing rain bailing rain
Bailing rain soaks bones in pain
Well I must have something
Cause I’m overwhelmed with joy
Like a brand new baby toy
Leaping around with my arms
Open wide living out loud
Singing come inside inside inside
Hello hello hello
Hello hello hello
Wave goodbye
And hear the rail go clack
Engine rolls
Blows coal on down the track
Carry carry me
Carry me my misery
Who is gonna miss me
Who is gonna mis me
Choo da choochoo
Come the chariot to carry me away
Boohoo da boohoo
Dig my grave dig my grave
Dig my grave dig my grave

In my chest of a cage
Wrapped with a gold velvet ribbon
In the cage of the bird
???

For the moment you had turned to me

In the bird there's a heart
Keeps a wind under her feathers
In my heart there's a song
Makes you feel like we're together

In the moment you had talked to me
My boo my boo
My boo my boo

In the song there is a flame
Burning the length of a candle
In the flame there is a wish
Soon you will be holding my hand

In the moment you had turned to me

In my hand there is a love
Like a long awaited letter
In the love there is a road
One that you and i walk together

In the moment you had turned to me
My boo my boo
My boo my boo
My boo my boo

In this darkened heart of mine
Your love has shined a light for me
When you're gone i pine and long
Write this song over don't be gone too long

And don't go
And don't go
And don't go

Down the road there's a house
Under a milky way sky light
In the house there is a room
Where I will wait through the long night

For the moment you had turned to me

In the room, there is a bed
Under ??? of daisies
In the bed brand new boo
Careful to not wake the baby

In the moment you had turned to me
My boo my boo
My boo my boo
My boo my boo
My boo my boo

( Live )

Everybody needs their own oasis
Their own paradise to call their own
But ?while the penny's scratched? For single spaces
Move in with some strangers and call it home
Oh no

They greet you with some smiles and lemon meringue
But there is something sketchy about the pie
Soon enough the crust will start revealing
All the filling failed to catch your eye

The floor is made of eggshells
The roof is made of rain
The walls are opaque paper
The bones are a brittle ?frame?

But nonetheless the life is mostly normal
But there was trouble brewing deep inside
And sure enough one night our star crossed lovers
Turned into dr. Jekyll and mrs. Hyde
And through the night I suffered intimate violence
She would bite and kick and he would cry
And by the time I’m begging god for silence
She let out a scream as if something just died
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Oh terror on paradise
The price for a rented room
And a pot to piss in while they smoke their lives
Into a paramedic doom
'Cause that girl is a powder house
With an abbreviated fuse
And he's a sucker for a tramp like a ?mess?
He's a trigger fool

When the tempest past
The worst is over
The underwear was washed and on the line
But as for me the innocent bystander
I fear their underwear has stained my mind
Oh no
Oh no

Happy days again
A dinner party
She served her rack of lamb and sadistic too
For all the wild hair big eyes batting
Add an apple other than ?her ???

The food turned into foreplay
The wine turned into truth
Desires walking her way
But what she'll leave is you
The floor turned into quicksand
Sinking where he stands
He needs me to be his saviour
He needs me to take his hand
Inevitably the house caved in
Me a desperado and a pile of wood
I listen to him bash but then I gave up
When he said I’ll leave her if I only could
And she runs down in the ruin like a lone soldier
Riding her little engine that could
She pulled him from the dust and said 'we can rebuild it'
He took her in his arms like a lover junkie would

Oh terror on paradise
The price for a rented room
And a pot to piss in while they smoke their lives
Into a paramedic doom
'Cause that girl is a powder house
With a schizophrenic moon
And he's a sucker for a tramp like ?a master?
He's a trigger fool

Phonograph

( Live )

I fell in love
With a brilliant boy
I gave him my heart
When he captured my voice
He carried it cross the sea
How did he
Tangibly

Black was my true lover's hair
His eyes were green and his skin was fair
I bent to kiss the ground where he is
Standing there
The sugars rose
When springtime came
The fields were green
When I took his name
Our love was ripe as summer's rain
When they cut down that cane

Then the word came to my door
All the world had gone to war
He dropped his papers on the floor
He was called for the draft
I see him now in silhouette
Fading toward an army jet
Carrying with him bayonet
And a phonograph

I fell in love
With a brilliant boy
I gave him my heart
As he captured my voice
He carried it cross the sea
How did he
Tangibly tin a needle crank
The cylindar round
Until we meet again
Send the men underground
Bands of angels clean the blood from your brow

Through the smoke of firing guns
Man by man the war is won
One another father son
Your children all pass
Then at last his letter came
The poem read of love and shame
All I have to keep me sane
Is my phonograph

I fell in love
With a brilliant boy
I gave him my heart
When he captured my voice
He carried it across the sea
How did he
Tangibly tin a needle crank
The cylindar round
Until we meet again
Send the men underground

( Snowglobe EP - Dreams in the hollow french version )

Et pourquoi on veut toutes être ballerines
Quand on sera grandes, quand on sera grandes
Et la nuit les garçons rêvent d’éteindre des incendies
Quand on sera grands

Dégagé, relevé, rond de jambe et tourne et saute
Tourne et saute
Les pompiers glissent le long du mat et sonnent l’alarme
Tout le monde debout
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Tout va bien dans mon chagrin
N’est-ce pas qu’elle est belle
Hall en flammes, cendre et âme
Voila le héros

Petits yeux, larges yeux jeunes mais sages
Tous sont levés, tous sont levés
Vers ton casque et ta hache et ton ciré si jaune
Papa lève-toi

Toute la cendre et la poussière n’ont pu te rendre
Papa lève-toi, papa lève-toi
Ils voient ce que tu ne faisais pas
Quand le feu te rongeait
Jours radieux
Blottie dans le creux
A rêver dans le creux
Corbeau odieux
Chardon et bruyère
Pas de pas à suivre
On espère qu’ils vont suivre
L’espoir fait vivre

Tout va bien dans mon chagrin
N’est-ce pas qu’elle est belle
Hall en flammes, cendre et âme
Voila le héros

J’ai essayé de l’éteindre
Mais le grand arbre tombait
Et le voilà qui tend ses branches
Le grand arbre tombé

Au delà des mers son rêve de danse brisé
Je noue mes rubans, noue mes rubans
Car des rêveries d’un coeur brisé naît la plus ardente beauté
Je noue mes rubans, noue mes rubans
Lait de la mère, soie en loques, craie dans la penderie
Orteil cassé, pointes en loques
Relevé tourne et prie
Pour la danseuse cassée

Jours radieux
Blottie dans le creux
A rêver dans le creux
Corbeau odieux
Chardon et bruyère
Pas de pas à suivre
On espère qu’ils vont suivre
L’espoir fait vivre

Tout va bien dans mon chagrin
N’est-ce pas qu’elle est belle
Hall en flammes, cendre et âme
Voila le héros

Snowglobe

( Snowglobe EP )

Under the deep Wyoming snow
Water runs over rocks
Like blood and bone below
Her long white robe
Eyes alive with stars
Of brighter light of hope
We have all come home
To take her side
At the mountains foot
We left the past behind
I’m your child
In a snowglobe
This precious moment froze in time
We have all come home
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
How are you
How long, be gone
Feeling quite well
Feeling quite well
For I love you
How are you
Feeling quite well
Feeling quite well
For I’m loved

She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye

And as the earth spins steadily on
So my snowy globe spins steady towards the sun
Water runs
Ice drapes thin over the rocks like mother's skin
We have all come home
To take her side
Singing “we are going”
In a chamber choir of five
Mother's pride
“I know” echoes as she slips to cross the great divide
We have all come home

How are you
How long, be gone
Feeling quite well
Feeling quite well
For I love you
How are you
Feeling quite well
Feeling quite well
For I’m loved

How are you
How long, be gone
Feeling quite well
Feeling quite well
For I love you
How are you
Feeling quite well
Feeling quite well
For I’m loved

She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye

You sit up there
Did you know what you were in for
The change in air
When you walked through the door
You were blue, but now you're green
For now you belong to me
In the way storms may grey the sea
You belong to me
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Maybe you feel a bit brighter by now
Maybe you hear the violet in your crown
Maybe you see your troubles wash out
Showering your colors with sound
And let them wash away

You sit out there
Did you know what you were in for
The change in air
When I stepped to the floor
You were blue, but now you're green
For now you belong to me
In the way storms may grey the sea
You belong to me

( Snowglobe EP )

While you were away
You were away
I made
Bricks of bread
Bricks to break
From home grown grain
Planted in rows
And gathered when gold
And ground by my hand stone

While you were away
You were away
I slept past the dawn
The sun would set
And the sun would say
This night will be long
So I lit up the stars
On this ceiling of ours
And I wrote song for hours
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
So your home is warm
'Cause I kept it warm
And alive while you were gone

So your home is warm
'Cause I kept it warm
And alive while you were gone

While you were away
You were away
I made
A charm of herbs
Herbs that pray
And the charm is brave
It’s guarding the glass
And it's guarding the doors
And it guarding the floor boards

Through the storm, through the storm
The windows fought the wind
And the rival oak’s broken arm
But they never gave in
So I’m tending the fire
That you built before you left
It’s not gone out once

So your home is warm
'Cause I kept it warm
And alive while you were gone
