"Bury, Bury, Bury Another" lyrics
"Bury, Bury, Bury Another"
We had jobs then we were happy
Because we had jobs that we liked
Now it's just hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry us up
We got to get it done tonight
And the roads that you built
Won't get us there fast enough
And the shadows on the hills
They don't shade us enough from the beating-down sun
Maybe distance might wash away your loved ones
That left you all at once, just because
It was bury, bury, bury, bury another
You'd wash your feet
As you make your way up
To some overly quiet place
You never looked hard enough
For your own last name or someone you liked at all
To keep you standing there with flowers
We had love then
We had attachments
And we had carelessness on our side
Now all the afternoons between romances
Keep us hanging on
We wish our ex was by our side
And the loves that you had, they didn't please you enough
Now your face is in your hands
And you wonder if anyone ever will, ever will, ever will
Thanks to Andrew for correcting these lyrics.

Camera Obscura - "James" James, he came to my place
He said he had to see my face

And, James, he came to the door
Wanting to know for sure
Why...
Neko Case - "That Teenage Feeling" Now that we've met
We can only laugh at these regrets
Common as a winter cold
They're telephone poles
They follow each other
One, after another, after another
But now my heart is green as weeds...
Maria Taylor - "Speak Easy" We'll bathe in rose petals, red
And lie in violet lilac beds
And through the darkness of the night
We'll watch our future shining bright
And out of everyone I've met
It's you I can't forget...
Sleater-Kinney - "Buy Her Candy" Hey don't you wanna
Run and call her name
If I buy her candy
Will she know who I am
She's famous
She's the best
Cannot lay
My heart to rest
She is selfish
She is kind
No one can say
She is mine...
Okkervil River - "Pink-Slips" Three brides before breakfast. These rails just wrecked us. My right hand on my heart while my left hand snaps your necklace.
Each day gets a little more scary. We're holding on, in a way, but just...
