- All My Great Designs
Well, I've been hearing things
Voices carry over water.
Things I can't deny
Night after night
night after night.
The broken heart.
You will know when I've been running around.
- Angela Surf City
Angela holds a grudge over nothing
Angela, what's the difference?
today's a day like any other
still the flag snaps in the wind
still your name rings true
you took the high road
- Another One Goes By
Is your skin your skeletons
Splinters my daydreams
Under surface see is it any seed
Shadows fly across the wall
I walk outside and try to see you right in front of me
Silhouette of something sweet and so bright
Don't know what to offer you I'm only broke and lonely
- Blue as Your Blood
i'd give you all my love
i'd give you all my love
But my heart itself is broken
How many nights must lumber by
I sit alone and I wonder why
Oh hazy, lazy days
I could dream of you forever
- Brandy Alexander
Finally close the door
You'd left open wide
Locked it for me inside
Lay me down
Count me out
Watch out it's on you
There's worse ways to see it baby
- Canadian Girl
Lyrics to Canadian Girl :
You are the morning
I am the night
I was the only one
Left at the right time
And only I…
…Still call you mine
- Clementine
You might say you give in, you're sick of this
you might say you'd give up, you've had enough
you know that ain't true, you know that ain't true
you got bored, honey that makes two of us
you might tell me again that you had enough of me
and should we pass on the street, i won't even see you
but you know that ain't true when you're locked in your room
- Don't Get Me Down
We spend a week awake but we leave the calls tonight.
The locals keep us up all day and night.
Seen the northern lights
And we've seen the Milky Way
And I miss home much more than they miss me.
Don't waul, shout it out.
Don't waul, shout it out.
- Donde Esta La Playa
Well, it's back to the battle today
But I wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause tonight we'll be crazy as kooks
I'm dancing, grooving
This lovely wooden floor
The tom-toms are beating on
Eyes are so sore
- Dreamboat
I left you, a million times
I left you, a million times
The irony, ain't lost on me
Oh no no no no no
Oh no no no no no
Virginia, I miss you the most
Virginia, I got so lost
- Emma, Get Me A Lemon
Emma get me a lemon
And if there are none
Get me a lime
And if we got none
Go out and get some
I'm gonna wait here
By your french door
- Hang On, Siobhan
I'll be back tomorrow, that is if you're here
And you promise to keep it between you and me
It's all just a dream, man, it's all just a dream
I've been up half the night, so get off it or leave
We're singing a song, we don't care if we're wrong
Have a drink on each other and call it a day
You're callin' me back, when the money is gone
- Heartbreaker
I have no business, asking you the words
I know the reason, you exaggerate
I know the answers, to all your demands
I have no secrets
I'm not your heartbreaker
Some tender ballad playin
I'm not your heartbreaker
- Heaven
our children will always hear
romantic tales of distant years
our gilded age may come and go
our crooked dreams will always glow
stick with me, oh you're my best friend
all of my life, you've always been
- I Lost You
Drive on, drive on
The highway bright and long
The river's overflowing
The house's burning down
Drive on, drive on
The engines on the lawn
We kiss goodbye and drink up
Some hours before the dawn
- I'm Never Bored
My weekdays
So busy its my schedule
Well giving in my apartments just as full
Those ceilings and white unforgiving walls
And now that’s rigid than the days lined on my calendar
As subways trains they roll
me home late its hard to keep proper intervals of sleep
- In The New Year
Oh, I'm still living
At the old address
And I'm waiting on the weather
That I know will pass
I know that it's true
It's gonna be a good year
Out of the darkness
- It Should Take a While
Found out
Not just now... no
I just know it's not, your good time.
I'm wrong. Even now, I'm Wrong. Even Now
Even now, ...
I don't care that much right now
I'm a mess. I can't get out.
That's the last thing.
- Line By Line
Now I know how the story goes
The wicked all will die
How do we know it?
I just know it
I just know it
Oh I've seen how this whole thing ends
The honest man survives
- Lisbon
The Walkmen are kings of dejection. For about decade now, they've turned their albums into symphonies of disappointment and resentment and regret. Their specific style of indie rock is very rooted in a scrappy, scratchy New York tradition that dates back to the Velvet Underground or Bob Dylan, but their take on it is theirs and theirs alone. On their sixth full-length, they've expanded their sound to incorporate mariachi horns and echoes of 1950s production styles, but their central concerns have changed little: they still make wounded, anxious, and deeply affecting music, and this LP can stand alongside their best.
- Little House Of Savages
Somebody's waiting for me at home
Somebody's waiting for me at home
I should've known
I should've known
And somebody's got a car outside
Somebody's got a car outside
Let's take a ride
- Look out the window
Broken hearted, don't get me started.
That's no way to greet someone.
So quit that laugh and give me some action.
I'm so bored of all these days and all these lonely drawn out ways
I keep indoors and I can't wait to see so far or wake up tomorrow.
We'll go out to look for you. So
Why don't you ever come back home?
I know you're having so much fun.
- Love Is Luck
Gone are the flames
Gone is the world of mystery
The slaughter made (this slight of hand?)
is gonna stay that way
one man he waits
one mans a dancing to his grave
who do I follow?
- New Country
The news is all good
And I'm flying higher
I'm back on my own
Don't worry about me
I got no more baggage
I threw all my old things away
I got your letter
- Nightingales
Lock me up and throw away my name
Mock my love, it don’t break
Wind and grind, it’s only
Wind and grind, it’s how the days go by
It’s only wind and grind
Mark (?) this laugh in front the under-porch (?)
Slap the arm, break my heart
- On the Water
All the windows are glowing
The branches bending low
The skyline is swinging
Rocking back and forth
Walking down this dirt road
Watching at the sky
It’s all I can do
It’s all I can do
- Red Moon
The red moon is rising behind you
The ocean is pounding away
I held up a light to the smoke but
The redness blows it away
And the night is cold
And the clouds go by
Tomorrow morning
- Rue the day
I know you won't be thinking of me now, it's been years.
But I hope you change your mind when we were introduced
We both laughed 'cause we've been friends since long before we met today
But I never thought of you a single day
But yesterday I remembered driving with no headlights
We would tip toe out in the evening
Never done such things before
- Southern Heart
Family comes from Kentucky
And there's bourbon in the blood
They left the country for the city in 1951
Me I'm in between two worlds
Saw you on TV last night
Life looks easy on the TV
We ride into some blue evening
- Stranded
Throw another dime in me my friend
And I'll sing a song I know for thee
If you don't want me you can tell me
I'm the bigger man here oh it's true
You're all pretty now than the last time
But the words aren't coming through
And I'm stranded
And I'm starry-eyed
- The Love You Love
You don't love me, just the kissin
Don't trust the facts, trust the fiction
I'll take the picture
I'll take the picture
What it is and what it should be
Baby I want everything
What it is and what it should be
- The North Pole
maybe it's not good and it's not bad
and maybe that's a problem that we have
cuz everybody knows
I've seen you with your new boyfriend it's funny how you look at him
I know we won't be seeing him again
cuz everybody knows, that's the way it goes
your monday morning train takes you uptown
your friday evening bus brings you back down
- The Rat
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
I know we've been through this before
Can't you hear me, I'm calling out your name?
Can't you see me, I'm pounding on your door?
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
- The Witch
It starts like this
The kiss is a kiss
The kiss is a kiss
The smiles are our smile
Say your goodbyes
Because love will decide
- There Goes My Baby
There goes my baby, movin' on down the line
Wonder where, I wonder where, she is bound?
I broke her heart and made her cry
Now I'm all alone, I'm all alone
What should I do?
(There goes my baby)
(There goes my baby)
- Wake Up
Out of station through my radio
nothings on
it's like a joke thats told with out its final line
where's it going
where had it round
I know
I'm trying
- We Can't Be Beat
I was the Duke of Earl
The Duke of Earl
But it couldn't last
I was the Pony Express
But I ran out of gas
Oh golden dreams
Golden dreams, all lose their glow
I don't need perfection, I love the whole
- While I Shovel the Snow
well they say can't please everyone
but i'm stuck on a winning streak
well today there's clarity
and tonight i see tomorrow
all at once the winter's here
all the lochs are frozen over
as i look in back of me
- Woe is me
There's a girl that you should know
she was mine not so long ago
Had my number and we fell in love
She put me under and I got los... t
my nerve and I lost my head, just about everything I had
Washed out and I ????
I couldn't see my hand in front of me.
