"Souvenirs" lyrics
"Souvenirs"
Last winter you came home
From an island of fire and stone
With fire to relight the life you lost
And stones to weigh out the heavy cost
And the damage
You put my hand to your heart
And ran right through your history
The souvenirs and lost luggage
The shipwrecks and the mysteries
And with your warm chest against my back
Whispered words and this growing crack
My sweet companion, you knew my name
You lit a candle and a moth came in through the window
I put your hand to my heart
And ran right through my history
The souvenirs and lost luggage
The shipwrecks and the mysteries
"Your lips speak a joy
But your eyes tell a sorrow"
How dare you say that to me?
When you know you're leaving tomorrow
I keep these moments as souvenirs
You read my story
Cover to cover
Ear to ear

Holly Miranda - "Waves" I've watched you walk so many times
Of all the years that made us blind
Why you, why you let it all
Be like some prison in your mind
It doesn't need to be

So where do...

Of missing picture winters
You have to give yourself a break
What's the fascination
With lovers at the station
You have to tear yourself away

Jarvis Cocker - "I Will Kill Again" Build yourself a castle
Keep your family safe from harm
Get into classical music
Raise rabbits on a farm
Log on in the night time
Drink a half-bottle of wine
Buy a couple of records
Look at naked...
