"Hush Now (Stella's Tarantella)" lyrics
"Hush Now (Stella's Tarantella)"
Hush now my sweet little noisy boy
There is trouble enough in the world
Pick up your feet little lazy boy
Come dance with your little girl
Spin me 'round this kitchen floor
Like a carnaval
Troubadour
I know we're only two-bit clowns
In a one-ring circus
But make me a little bit dizzy boy
Swing me on your trapeze
When I'm in the arms of my dreamy boy
It still makes me weak in the knees
Right here on this record player
Is our scratchy song
We're alone
Slide trombones like an orchestra
Full of fortune tellers
Come now my sweet little breathing boy
I'm listening hard to your heart
It's as strong as a lion's boy
Let's leave here and make a new start
I remember once you said
Lying in this bed
The past is dead
Everyday is a one-act play
Without an ending

The sunlight burned my eyes...

wraps cold around my bones
forgive me if I promise
to forget what I have known
ignores and never mentions
I just came waltzing in
with stories tied together

Would they have let you stay where you were?
Not to live here in pain, should not bring you shame
And the light is so hard to deter

Lucinda Williams - "Blue" Go find a jukebox and see what a quarter will do
I don't wanna talk I just wanna go back to blue
Feed's me when I'm hungry and quenches my thirst
Loves me when I'm lonely and thinks of me first...
Neko Case - "Vengeance Is Sleeping" I didn't know what a brute I was
I dipped my cigarette and rode the bus
Vengeance built me hastily
And I drag the clanging notion I was nobody, nobody
Nobody
All I had was my invention...
