"Sugar Plum" lyrics
"Sugar Plum"
First thought, heard it all before
Not gonna get far with an attitude like that
It's hard to break a habit when it's just so comfortable
And I don't know anybody round here
I sincerely hope to settle in
Let's not, make a big thing about it
They say make hay while the sun shines
But sometimes I wanna just lay around
Read a book, eventually forget about everything
I'm in over my head, yeah, I'm over my head
I'm in over my head, yeah, I'm over my head
And I know I got a sensitive heart
I'm always picking it apart when I throw it to the vultures
They don't want it either, probably too sincere
And up here above the clouds and the crowds
Floating on the outside looking in
It seems like everybody's struggling
You're either drowning in the deepest sea
Or drowning in the kitchen sink
Either way it all feels like drowning
I'm in over my head, yeah, I'm over my head
I'm in over my head, yeah, I'm over my head
I'm in over my head, yeah, I'm over my head
I'm in over my head, yeah, I'm over my head
I'm looking forward to some brighter days
Coz I like the way
That the shadows are falling across the trees
And I sure could use just a couple degrees more
And I'm doing fine, but my brain feels fried
Maybe you were right
I'm watching too much TV every night
By the way, I just wanna say
Yeah, you know those words don't come easy to me
So I'm looking for a little leniency
Ooh, yeah, ooh
And I write it down on the back of my hand coz I'm afraid that I won't remember
Ooh, yeah, ooh
And I learn to breathe again and then when it's over, it'll be a new day there singing
Ooh, yeah, ooh
And I learn to breathe again and then when it's over, it'll be a new day they're singing
Ooh, yeah, ooh
And I learn to breathe again and then when it's over, it'll be a new day

La Luz - "Watching Cartoons" So long, farewell, goodbye
I think I went too far this time
The days all seem so bright
If you look for me, I'll be inside
Watching cartoons
In my room (Ooh-ooh)
Ooh, ba-ba, ba-da-da-da-da...
The Beths - "Expert In A Dying Field" Can we erase our history
Is it as easy as this
Plausible deniability
I swear I've never heard of it
And I can close the door on us
But the room still exists
And I know you're in it
Hours of phrases...
Angie McMahon - "Keeping Time" Now I'm keeping time, or at least I'm learning how to
I'm taking flight or at least I'm just about to
No the ways we could bruise, aren't used to us
And all the things I burnt, I learnt their cost...
Palehound - "If You Met Her" Counting back from one
To the day I come
To meet you in your body
At a show my band was playing
Now it's April 6
First one that you'll miss
'Cause you're off, with all the cancers
You were young, but...
Middle Kids - "Edge Of Town" I cannot remember
Anything you say
When the streets are talking
Yeah, they call my name
And I walk a little further
I could go all day
And the trees are reaching
Pointing out the way
I got all...
