"Auld Wives" lyrics
"Auld Wives"
Auld Wives' Lifts, Auld Wives' Lifts
How have you got here?
Where do you come from?
What do you tell?
I see his face
I see his face carved deep in the stone
Another mind you have taken away
But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
A trace of all that you've left behind
And the Auld Wives swore that you were born to die
Without a child for to call out your name
Now I call your name
I call your name, but you can't hear me now
No, you don't recognise my face
Who are you?
Who are you and why do you call me that?
How dare you call me that!
But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
A trace of all that you've left behind
And the Auld Wives swore that you were born to die
Without a child for to call out your name
But I call your name
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name
But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
A trace of all that you've left behind
And the Auld Wives swore that you were born to die
Without a child for to call out your name

Vaults - "Premonitions" Let's take it right back to where we used to go
But we never look back, no we only look forward
To all the new pain and violence that we blame
No we never look back, no we only look forward
With all...
Aquilo - "You Won't Know Where You Stand" I wanna walk with you in someone's shoes
From somebody else's point of view
It looks like I'm changing
I wanna be a star without the scars
We'd be running, running, running
With the same old crowd...
Charlie Cunningham - "Answers" One step, two step can be a hard walk
Down a slippery line
Lest ye forget what keeps your heart warm
On the coldest nights
You're never gonna have the answers
To everything all at once
Think what...
Elbow - "Lippy Kids" Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin
Settling like crows
Though I never perfected the simian stroll
The cigarettes senate was everything then
Do they know those days are...
Ben Howard - "Small Things" Oh my mind!
I walk down Mayflower Road again
The wailing sun
Echoes from the park seem so absurd
The bus takes hours
I knew it would
But I can't shake the sting
Can't spend my time
On everybody...
