"First Skeleton Tree" lyrics
"First Skeleton Tree"
Sunday morning, skeleton tree
Nothing is for free
You're laying in, in the window
Nothing is for free, nothing is for free
Falling leaves
Thrown against the sky
A jittery TV by the bed
Glowing white like fire
And I call out the window down to the sea
The echo comes back empty and nothing is for free
And I call out the window
'Jesus was a liar and a thief'
My skeleton tree
Pressed against the sky
A jittery TV on a narrow bed
Glowing white like fire
And I call out the window down to the sea
The echo comes back empty and nothing is for free
And I call out the window to the skeleton tree
'Jesus was a liar and a thief'

PJ Harvey - "To Bring You My Love" I was born in the desert
I been down for years

I think my time is near
And I've traveled over
Dry earth and floods
Hell and high water
To bring you my love
Climbed over...
Tim Buckley - "Pleasant Street" You don't remember what to say
You don't remember what to do
You don't remember where to go
You don't remember what to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down
All the stony people...
Madrugada - "Majesty" So am I
Good or bad
The way that things did turn out
I did only make you sad
And we cried and we cried
On the phone
Oh but in my mind
You were never that all alone
Oh you were majesty
Your roads...
Tom Waits - "Alice" It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond
With a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond
They spell Alice...
Swans - "Blind" Now some of us are weak
And some endure
And some people live their life
In violence that’s pure and clean
But I saw a man cry once
Down on his knees
In the corner of a darkened cell
And his pain...
