"Ballad Of The Broken Seas" lyrics
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan Lyrics
"Ballad Of The Broken Seas"
I bring you a tale of the broken seas
And I'm drowning in whisky and beer
My doctor reports if I don't stop soon
I'll drown in an ocean of tears
I looked to you and saw my desire
Went from the frying pan into the fire
Surrendered to sorrow and was undone
Now I'm praying that it won't be long
We fucked up the sun into kingdom come
You are under my blood and my skin
Living life at each other's throats
In the gilded sailboat of sin
Ours was an ocean to swim around in
Ours was an ocean I should have drowned in
My doctor reports that we must be strong
But I'm praying that it won't be long

Grinderman - "Electric Alice" Don't the stars look good tonight
Thought Electric Alice
In the pale moonlight
Don't the moon look big and bright
Thought Electric Alice
In the pale moonlight
I think I hear a baby cry...
Antony And The Johnsons - "You Are My Sister" You are my sister, we were born
So innocent, so full of need
There were times we were friends but times I was so cruel
Each night I'd ask for you to watch me as I sleep
I was so afraid of the night...
Mad Season - "Long Gone Day" So much blood I'm starting to drown
Runs from cold to colder
Time to time the sky's come down
To help me lose my way
Tears and lies for answers
You and open veins, God knows I'm gone
Girl I just want...
