"The Curfew Bell" lyrics
"The Curfew Bell"
The train departs
On a buck and wing
Toward the end of your suffering
Packed for fourteen
Only needed two
Days pursuing still, their haunting
A kiss on the forehead
You say, "I don't want to go"
The years of my life now
You'll never know
Crying the neck
The curfew bell
The eddying tide
The boat untethered
Howls to the harbour
And all the words leave me
Go on you there to
The ever and after
Lightning strikes, a stormless hour
Sure, there's an elephant in the garden, Ma
I leave your bedside
For to stem my tears
A robin lay on the path where the forest clears
The farmer yells
Out in to the field
To announce the end of his harvest yield
Crying the neck
The curfew bell
The eddying tide
The boat untethered howls to the harbour
And all the words leave me
Go on you there to
The ever and after
Crying the neck
The curfew bell
Rings the fires out
The eddying tide
Draws the boat
One breath from on the harbour mouth
To the silent room
Where doors lead to corridors
To windowless walls a world away
Where are you, where are you
Where?

Manic Street Preachers - "This Sullen Welsh Heart" I don't want my children to grow up like me
It's just soul-destroying, it's a mocking disease
A wasting disease
I don't want my children to grow up like me
It's just soul-destroying, it's a mocking...
Laura Marling - "The Beast" Where did our love go
You will never know
How did you get home
You will never know
Did you catch yourself in the mirror?
It's a sight I understand
You considered it all for a second
And put it down...
I Blame Coco - "Summer Rain" So tell me, have I lost it all
Have I lost my pain
Punch through a red brick wall
I don't feel a thing
But to you, it's all the same
Like a hunter only knows
What's it's prey
Whatever mine is...
PJ Harvey - "Hanging In The Wire" Walker sees the mist rise
Over no man's land
He sees in front of him
A smashed up waste ground
There are no fields or trees
No blades of grass
Just unburied ghosts are there
Hanging in the wire...
My Brightest Diamond - "Inside A Boy" Inside a boy I found a universe
And in his eyes are a thousand stars on a dark sky
We are clouds we are whispers like fauns and shape-shifters
Our edges can never be found out
No our edges keep...
