"Grey Lining" lyrics
"Grey Lining"
This house is so clean
Glass tables spread with new magazines
Can I stay for a week?
You can kick me out when I break something
From the guest room I see
Your garden stretch out, it's like oceans of green
The maid calls me for tea
And the tiles depict Mediterranean scenes
And it's all been added up
Laid so a life can lean on it
So please don't bring that up
No one wants to hear that shit
Every night in my dreams
I lift glass figurines from a shelf in the hall
Each delicate piece
When I pick it up, it just can't help but fall
Can't hold anything
All machines, clothes and cars, they just crumble and break
When they touch my hand
'Cause I feel like I'm holding the hand that made them that way
But this house is beautiful
You could live long lives in it
Please don't be so dutiful
No one wants to hear that shit

Joseph Arthur - "Saint Of Impossible Causes" I need the saint of impossible causes
The saint of no return
I need the saint of scented candles
That never really burn
I need the saint of laughter
I need the saint of tears
I need the saint...
My Brightest Diamond - "Golden Star" I always felt so far from you
Like something wasn't right
But tonight
I rest my head inside the crook of your arm
And I feel like a golden star
Exploding
(Tonight we are full
Tonight we rejoice)...
The Decemberists - "Make You Better" I want you, thin fingers
I wanted you, thin fingernails
And when you bend backwards
I wanted you, I needed you
Oh-oh, to make me better
I'll love you in springtime
I lost you when summer came
And...
Dry The River - "Gethsemane" It started with the moon
that turned an inexpensive room into St. Peter's
There's a parabolic story but it's boring
and it ends how you'd expect.
Forever dressing down
I'm like a stranger
hanging...
Elbow - "Charge" I am electric
With a bottle in me
Got a bottle in me
And glory be these fuckers are ignoring me
I’m from another century
I am a preacher
When I’ve got it on me
And I’ve got it on me
And glory be...
