Five Years
04:12

|
Does it feel any better now that we don't live together and glow in the dark all white
Does it feel any better that now my hips are narrow leather hunting a narrow road
Do I need to explain that my won-back heart had lost all patience and your won-back heart had, too
Is this how of course it goes: standoffish, wrapped in whalebone, wholly out of time
Five years
Five just a matter of time years
Five what was yours what was mine years
Five years
Five don't know who can provide years
Five at the poverty line years
Five years
Five perfect victimless crime years
Five full red jug wine years

That hum is time taking us apart
And we cannot protect anything
I will

Taos Hum

Hum like New Mexico, Taos
Hum like New Mexico, Taos
Hum like a kettle at a rolling boil
Hum like New Mexican Cholla
Who has teeth like a yellow eel that won't stop swimming
Hum like a head full of red wine, Taos
Hum like New Mexican sky, and
Hum, Taos, Hum
I can tell you what that honeybee's gonna do:
Sleep here in the hollow of my hand
I can tell you what that honeybee's gonna do:
Hum something I can understand
Hum like son, like father, Taos
Hum like a dowsing rod for water
Hum like a kettle at a rolling boil
Hum like New Mexican cholla
Who has an eye like a 30-0 that won't be delayed
Hum like a head full of red wine, Taos
Hum like a New Mexican sky and
Hum, Taos, Hum
I can tell you what that honeybee's gonna do:
Sleep here in the hollow of my hand
I can tell you what that honeybee's gonna do:
Hum something I can understand

Giving Up (Easy Way Out)
03:12
|
|||
|
You and me had a fine thing going
Til you cut down my tree
You and me had an alright thing going
So why'd you swat my honeybee
You and me had it easy, so easy
So where'd you throw my stone
You and me had and alright thing going
So why'd you swat my honeybee
Giving up is such an easy way out
And so that's what we did
Giving up is such an easy way out
And so that's what we did
We took the easy way out, didn't we kid
Such an easy way out

Fly Bird Fly

Fly bird fly
Over the slow, sad world
Fly bird fly
No longer my little girl
Fly bird fly
Never be mine again on all fours
Fly bird fly
I will never be yours
Fly bird fly
Over the bright, sad world
Fly bird fly
Go find another black pearl
Fly bird fly
Never be mine again on all fours
Fly bird fly
I will never be yours
You're not even the bird that you seem to be;
I am the wasp that I seem to be
Fly bird fly
Out of my sight, out of my mind
Out of my worry, out of my mud house
Out of my hum that took us all
Fly bird fly
Never be mine again on all fours
Fly bird fly
I will never be yours

Ella
03:59
|

|
Somewhere in the blood I found a circle of bright white lights
Seated at center, selfishly singing: Ella was never the sake of the song
Muscle and bone, and a howling wind, skipping a stone in a field of stones
Ever the voice, never the music: Ella was never the sake of the song
Sleep in the sand under the moon, rolling around with a girl I know
Singing I'm Free now that I'm better
Ella was never the sake of the song
Somewhere in the blood I found a circle of candles burned out
No one at center, nobody singing: Ella was never the sake of the song

Strange, Strange Times
by The Ugly Kings
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching.

Nothing as the Ideal
by All Them Witches
All Them Witches are back, with more tense, psych-blues numbers that ratchet up the tension & then explode.
go to album
Throwing softness and subtlety to the wind, Stockholm's Lowrider raze a molten, stoner-rock warpath, all fuzzy riffs and percussive grit.
go to album
The band’s fourth full-length album in as many years; an intoxicating LP of jazz-inflected twists and turns.
