"Jessie My Queen" lyrics
"Jessie My Queen"
Jessie, my queen, you know you have the most ironic of the surnames
Turning upside down a gender that was surely pointing you to nowhere
When they buried you—nothing but your husband's wife
For a maker, we now act caretaker, give a title she's deserving of
Are you coming in or are you going out?
At the Coterie, in the hideout
You're always standing, hat in your hand
Do you really have something else planned?
Jessie, did you know I trampled in your garden, trampled in the Greengate?
Speaking to the neighbors, hearing all your favors—the truth is never too late
I think I saw three skeletons
And I know if you were, here you'd make them, you would make them well again
Are you coming in or are you going out?
At the Coterie, in the hideout
You're always standing, hat in your hand
Do you really have something else planned?
Who needs Paris?
Who needs Paris?
Never weary in my own bubble zone
My white-walled town
Who needs Paris?
Never weary in my own bubble zone
My white-walled town
Are you coming in or are you going out?
At the Coterie, in the hideout
You're always standing, hat in your hand
Do you really have something else planned?
Who needs Paris?

Laura Veirs - "Spelunking" The tiny midnight caravan
Made its way across the black hills
As I watched from a distance
The slow-going glow
Their wandering you know
Made me pine
For the lamplight
Where you lie
If I took you...
The Weather Station - "Atlantic" "My God," I thought
"My God, what a sunset"
Blood red floods the Atlantic
With a wine in my hand
Laid back in the grass of some stranger's field
While shearwaters reeled overhead
Thinking I should...
Beth Orton - "Someone's Daughter" I wanna sit and talk and laugh with you as the day ends
I wanna see your smiling face before the new day begins
You'll never know what it means
To see the sunlight in your hair and dancing...
Low - "Broadway (So Many People)" Last night
Just north of Houston
Broadway
So many people
Through your
First storey window
I see my favourite record store
Where is the laughter?
Where is the laughter?
Smiling
Tasting the irony...
Shearwater - "Wildlife In America" Back before
Back in our school days
You were wild-eyed
Before the damage was done
We tasted that fear in our mouths on Sundays
And you know
You know it's not living
When the wildfires
Were burning...
