"Dylan Thomas" lyrics

Better Oblivion Community Center Lyrics

It was quite early one morning

Hit me without warning

I went to hear the general speak

I was standing for the anthem

Banners all around him

Confetti made it hard to see

Put my footsteps on the pavement

Starved for entertainment

Four seasons of revolving doors

So sick of being honest

I'll die like Dylan Thomas

A seizure on the barroom floor

I'm getting greedy with this private hell

I'll go it alone, but that's just as well

These cats are scared and feral

The flag pins on their lapels

As the truth is anybody's guess

These talking heads are saying

"The king is only playing a game of four dimensional chess"

There's flowers in the rubble

The weeds are gonna tumble

I'm lucid but I still can't think

I'm strapped into a corset

Climbed into your corvette

I'm thirsty for another drink

If it's advertised, we'll try it

And buy some peace and quiet

And shut up at the silent retreat

They say you've gotta fake it

At least until you make it

That ghost is just a kid in a sheet

I'm getting used to these dizzy spells

I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel

I'm getting greedy with this private hell

I'll go it alone, but that's just as well

Be Released
Virginia Wing
Album Ecstatic Arrow
 
Tell me: where do you go from here?

I saw a photograph from the past
It showed your family tree all red and gold
It showed your place of birth
And all the colours blurred
Like chalk on a blackboard

And now that you look
It all seems so far away
It's further than it seems

Progress is slow
But it will be easier, it's easier now to say
"I'm home, four doors and all the furniture I own-
Dissolved, I chose to be released from all of this"

It's funny how quickly you forget
And how the smallest of details remain
Flawless and bright
Like the curtains hanging loose
And open in the room
Or your first class when you went to school

And you were last to arrive
You asked your friends for advice
But nothing they said could reach so deep
Or even describe the moment you felt
All alone in your mind
It was the first of five years now -

You're free of all those places
Tell me: where do you go from here?

And now that you look
It all seems so far away
It's further than it seems

Progress is slow
It will be easier, it's easier now to say
"I'm home, four doors and all the furniture I own -
Dissolved, I chose to be released from all of this"

You found a story for yourself
Built from a dream
Removed all inheritance and debt
From here there's nowhere else

And now that you look
It all seems so far away
It's further than it seems

Progress is slow
It will be easier, it's easier now to say
"I'm home, four doors and all the furniture I own -
Dissolved, I chose to be released from all of this"

Four doors
A shelf
A wall
Windows
Chairs
Carpets
And stairs

Song of the Day: Wet - Love is Not Enough

Yet another new band whose vibe I love.

Wet Lyrics
"Love Is Not Enough"

Roll her over in the knee high water
And they [?] a part of her that's never been seen before
And mine is flowing like a scene from the autumn
People showing just to look and laugh

Because love is not enough
No, love is not

Call your sisters and your little cousins
And hide the kids they're laying out on the corner
And they come runnin' when it's all [?]
All their wounds are gone, and you're left with memories

Love is not enough
Don't let them tell you
Love is not enough

And I told you once, but I will say it louder
The love we had — it grew tall like a flower
Then all at once it will [?] over
And it left with yourself and the ghost of another

Love is not enough

Oh, I dreamed you last night
You, you whispered to me
The water is fine, but now the
The wine is flowing
And I wish that we could stay there
Right there forever, but I promise you that I will always remember

Love is not enough
Don't let them tell you
Love is not enough
Don't listen to them
Love is not enough

Mirah Lyrics
"Hot Hot"

If anything tries to hold you back we won't let it
We'll make it stop stop
We'll make it stop stop
Try to keep your tires on the road even when the wind picks up
You can keep it calm calm
Even if you roll on
You've got a good thing baby don't waste it, don't waste it no
Keep keepin' it hot hot
Keep keepin' it hot hot

If we were clouds we'd be makin' prisms of light
Holding up the rain all cool and bright
Wouldn't that feel good, wouldn't that feel so right?
Keep movin' along long
Keep keepin' up what you want

So when I heard that I heard that I could stay
And hold me and hold me so I'm safe
I like when I know me I'm okay
I'll get back to myself one of these days

You got the whole team on your side
We've got this one we do
We've got the life life
We keep the power on for you
If the clouds stay low
Oh sometimes they do
You just might get a little wet
Before they burn through

You know beauty comes with age
You can't help, but keep on
Getting more hot hot
With every brave thought
Hot hot
With every brave thought

So when I heard that I heard that I could stay
And hold me and hold me so I'm safe
I like when I know me I'm okay
I'll get back to myself one of these days
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days

Don't listen don't listen when they say goodbye
Gather up get on the porch take it on back girl take it on back
Keep your heart together
Get your mind relaxed
Step in time together
Let's feel the power coming back

Hot hot
Hot hot
Hot hot

Song of the Day: Squirrel Flower - Conditions

No idea who this artist is yet, just heard this song recently, but I LOVE the song.  It just captures a vibe that makes me want to listen all day.

Squirrel Flower - "CONDITIONS" (Official music video)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg7UPNf6MTU

Lyrics:

I'll be gentle and I'll take it slowly,
Just as long as you say you don't need me.
I'll do you right and I'll take it steady,
But when I say go you better be ready.

Keep you guessing, I swear I won't tell you.
Make you want me and then I'll desert you.
But it's alright 'cause you said you don't need me.
It's alright cuz I kept it steady.

Don't look at me like that, like you'll kill me.
I can outrun you and I'll do it gracefully,
Cause I'm gentle but I can't move slowly.
Don't you dare say you do not know me.

Song of the Day: Broods - Sucker

Looks like Broods have some new music out.  As with a lot of their songs, I just love the vibe.

Speaking of which, I have a bunch of new (to me) music that I need to post, all of which has a great vibe.  More to come in subsequent days...
