Bat For Lashes – Two Suns

Bat For Lashes - Two Suns

This album is AMAZING. It is really all I have been listening to for the past couple of days. I first heard Bat for Lashes in 2007 and I must admit at the time I wasn’t too in love with the first album except for 1 or 2 songs but this album is very different for me. Every song I am in love with, the lyrics, the music … the concept it all works and it works magically. It’s inspired me a lot these past days that have been filled with nothing but rain and a lot of self reflection. Obviously one of the best songs is the first single “Daniel” but there is one song on there that literally made me tear up when I heard it and I listened to it over and over again. I’m not sure how to describe when you hear something that really sounds like the inside of your heart and your mind. So beautiful: “Siren Song” Videos and lyrics below. Go get this album!!

Daniel when I first saw you
I knew that you had a flame in your heart
And under under our blue skies
Marble movie skies
I found a home in your eyes
We’ll never be apart

And when the fires came
The smell of cinders and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed
And in the golden blue
Cryin’ took me to the darkest place
And you have set fire to my heart

When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that’s worst ?
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

But in a goodbye bed
With my arms around your neck
Into our love the tears crept
Just catch in the eye of the storm
And as my heart ran round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again
For home again

When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that’s worst?
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that’s worst
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

Are you my family?
Can I stay with you a while?
Can I stop off in your bed tonight?
I can make you smile.

In the morning I’ll make you breakfast
In the evening I’ll warm the bed
And I’ll always be happy to kiss you
Promise I’ll never get sad

Till the siren come calling, calling
It’s driving me evil, evil
I was a heartbreaker
Loved you the same way I do
But I’ve got so much wickedness and sin
My name is Pearl and I love you
The best way I know how
My blonde curls slice through your heart
And the siren calling, calling
It won’t be long until you’re running

Help you dress yourself up fancy
And bathe you when you get sore
I’ll be good, I think I could
Be all you would want
And more, and more
Be proud when you dazzle the wondrous
Glitter your eyes for the town
Tell every last boy that you’re my man
I’ll try not to let you down

Till the siren come calling, calling
It’s driving me evil, evil
I was a heartbreaker, loved you
The same way I do
But I’ve got so much wickedness and sin
My name is Pearl and I love you
The best way I know how
My blonde curls slice through your heart
And the stars are exploding in lights
It won’t be long until you’re running
It won’t be long until you’re running
It won’t be long until you’re running
Cause I’m evil
Cause I’m evil

48 hours of tears

Twice I turn my back on you
I fell flat on my face but didn’t loose
Tell me where would I go
Tell me what led you on I’d love to know

Was it the blue night
Gone fragile
Was it both men
In wonder steady gone under
Was it the light ways
So frightening
Was it two wills
One mirror holding us dearer now

Thought I had an answer once
But your random ways swept me along
Colossal signs so I got lost
With so many lovers singing soft

Was it the blue night
Gone fragile
Was it both men
In wonder steady gone under
Was it the light ways
So frightening
Was it two wills
One mirror holding us dearer now

breathe me


Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there’s no-one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I’m needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I’ve lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I’m needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I’m needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Worms

Worms

Worms don’t dance
They haven’t got the balls
No matter how do you do it
It’s just you do it, that’s all
You got what it takes
To knock at my door
You wanna get all excited
Never been here before
And now I’m your apple-eatin’ heathen
The original sin
You ain’t got my faith
So best keep your belief
I have waited forever to love someone
I swear I heard you thank your God
That time for having me come along
Chickens don’t fly
But they have got the wings
No matter how hard they try
They bump into things
They’re all running around
With their heads on the ground
They got a wish bone
Where their back bone should have grown
Now I’m your apple-eatin’ heathen
Any old rib-stealin’ Eve
And you ain’t got my faith
So best keep your belief
I have waited forever to love someone
I swear I heard you thank your God
That time for having me come along
Another intimacy
Reduced to cruelty
And I had you believe
That this was meant to be
And I’m low for the magic
But you got away with it
That’s all

Lykke Li – Breaking It Up

If you’re going abroad I can’t help you
If you’re crossing the street I wont be there

If you give it a minute it’s wrong
If you give it a minute it’s gone
If we’re just waiting a second too long
Darling I’ll leave and you won’t come along

So give me the reason to stay
Give me the reason to wait
You know I don’t look to get caught
‘Cause darling we’re here but my true love is not

Breaking it up, before it’s on
Breaking it up, it’s already gone
Breaking it up, I didn’t mean to fraud
Breaking it up

If you’re going abroad I can’t help you
If you’re crossing the street I wont be there

And I call you baby I will and I do
Persuade you in though I know that we’re through
I let you think that I’m yours when I’m not
Keep you here though I’m ready to drop the last line

Breaking it up, before it’s on
Breaking it up, it’s already gone
Breaking it up, I didn’t mean to fraud
Breaking it up

If you’re going abroad I can’t help you
If you’re crossing the street I wont be there

Breaking it up
Breaking it up

Hometown Glory


love this song. LOVE her.

Adele – Hometown Glory

http://www.myspace.com/adelelondon

I’ve been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
“Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I can call?”
“No and thank you, please Madam. I ain’t lost, just wandering”

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I’ve met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides

Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain’t gonna take it
Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I’ve met

Are the wonders of my world

Pyrite Pedestal

Once, while falling into approvals tricky arms
I saw esteem’s corpse
Deafened by allure’s sweet, sweet song
On stygian shores
Affixed like I’m under a spell
That ain’t even like myself
No – things are going to change
That starts today
It seems just yesterday I ate it up
Your yarns were dipped in gold
I swallowed them whole
The real tragedy is that your act is just boring and old
Back and forth with this disdain
That ain’t even why I came
And when I scream
You want me crawling on my knees
I guess these days I’m someone else
I’m better off all by myself
These days I’m just somebody else

Slow Like Honey

You moved like honey in my dream last night
Yeah, some old fires were burning
You came near to me and you endeared to me
But you couldn’t quite discern me

Does that scare you? I’ll let you run away
But your heart will not oblige you
You’ll remember me like a melody
Yeah, I’ll haunt the world inside you

And my big secret – gonna win you over
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

I’ll let you see me, I’ll covet your regard
I’ll invade your demeanor
And you’ll yield to me like a scent in the breeze
And you’ll wonder what it is about me

It’s my big secret – keeping you coming
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

Though dreams can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apart

So I stretch myself across, like a bridge
And I pull you to the edge
And stand there waiting
Trying to attain
The end to satisfy the story
Shall I release you?
Must I release you?
As I rise to meet my glory

But my big secret
Gonna hover over your life
Gonna keep you reaching
When I’m gone like yesterday
When I’m high like heaven
When I’m strong like music
’cause I’m slow like honey, and
Heavy with mood

-Fiona Apple

Nude

Don’t get any big ideas
They’re not gonna happen
You paint your smile
And fill the holes
There’ll be something missing
Just when you found it
It’s gone
Just when you feel it
You don’t
It’s gone forever

She stands stark naked
And she beckons you to bed
Don’t go, you’ll only want
To come back again

So don’t get any big ideas
They’re not gonna happen
You’ll go to Hell
For what your
Dirty mind is thinking

And now that you found it
It’s gone
Now that you feel it
You don’t
It’s gone forever

Make Yourself

If I hadn’t made me, I would of been made somehow..
If I hadn’t assembled myself, I’d have fallen apart by now.
If I hadn’t made me, I’d be more inclined to bow.
Powers that be, would have swallowed me up
But thats more then I can allow.
But…

If you let them make you, they’ll make you paper mache
At a distance you’re strong, Until the wind comes
Then you’ll crumble and blow away.
If you let them fuck you there will be no foreplay.
Rest assured, They’ll screw you complete, Until your ass is blue and grey.

You should make amends with you,
If only for better health.
But if you really want to live,
Why not try, and Make yourself?
Make yourself (Make yourself)

If I hadn’t made me, I’d have fallen apart by now.
I wont let them make me..It’s more then I can allow.
So when I make me, I won’t be paper mache..
And if I fuck me…I’ll fuck me in my own way.
Fuck me in my own way
Fuck me in my own way
Fuck me in my own way
Fuck me in my own way…

You should make amends with you,
If only for better health
But if you really want to live,
Why not try, and Make yourself?
Make yourself
Make yourself
Make yourself
Make yourself
