Gauloises Blue 04:35
lyrics
buy track
In a dress of Gauloises Blue I thought about laying a kiss on you There was nothing more that we could do For you now I'm Piscean, I'm sensitive Some likes to get, some likes to give But it seems like time has come adrift There's been some unholy seismic shift I'm tireder than I've got a right to be A little messed round by humanity That dress lies crumpled on the floor I can't go visit you No more A man like that you don't even have to try To come up with words to wonder why Things rarely work out like your Mama planned Broken June roses and a tremblin' hand Last time that I wore this dress You said Nursie please I'm in distress Thin white stripes shot with navy blue There was nothing more that we could do I see you now that awful night Our dumb poker faces and our helpless might Your stupid cousin was the final straw You didn't wanna hang around no more I don't know why I get so het up First you can't lay down Then you can't stand up That's how it goes when you're all out of luck And on your way down The best ten bucks that I ever spent Was on Ed McBain when you was inclement Fuck your Gauloises Blondes and your Gitanes too I'm going down with a Gauloises Blue

The Bee 04:37
lyrics
buy track
I let a bee sit on my finger Take a rest upon my knee I did not disturb a wing or Give it reason to sting me I've never felt so still I've never felt so free As when we were sitting there You and me and the bee I move my fingers through your brown hair And place a kiss upon your eye The sweetest buzzing sound was everywhere Was only natural to know why I've never felt so still I've never felt so free As when we were sitting there You and me and the bee We made a home amongst the trees And we made a sacred ground And when the night came with the breeze We did head back into town I've never felt so still I've never felt so free As when we were sitting there You and me and the bee As when we were sitting there You and me and the bee As when we were sitting there You and me and the bee

Nashville High 04:28
lyrics
buy track
Something on the stereo Mismatched boots and nowhere to go Don't let me get excited I get a feeling and I just can't fight it And I wanna get Nashville high Now you're gravitating to me With a feeling that I just can't see A feeling I've been chasing so long Like when they're playin' your favourite song And you got it all goin' on You're calling me the craziest witch The prettiest skirt to ever come unstitched Ah the pleasure of your company It all happens so naturally And here we go again I wanna get Nashville high I don't wanna be your sister I don't wanna be your nurse I'm feeling like the end of the night I'm feeling like a midnight curse I just wanna get that feeling That feeling like the end of the world I wanna get Nashville high You smile so wistfully When you step into the parlour with me Everybody's gonna know And it's a shame to the ninth degree You gotta start coming down Let your high horse ride into town Shoot this baby down Blow this baby down I don't wanna be your sister I don't wanna be your nurse I'm feeling like the end of the night I'm feeling like a heaven sent curse I just wanna get that feeling That feeling like the end of the world I wanna get Nashville high

I Cut My Own Hair 04:08
lyrics

I cut my own hair I don't sleep at night I hear them say 'yeah yeah yeah' Everything's alright I don't believe in nothin' Not a thing that they say All that huffin' and that puffin' Just gonna kill 'em dead or turn their hair grey You can tell me anything Anything at all We can go anywhere We won't fall Darlin' I look up to you You're so tall Oh its like a knife to my heart I said 'Please, turn that off' I sit back in my seat and close my eyes Until my world goes soft I found the secret, boys You just gotta make your words fit I know the secret, girls You just gotta get your skirt to split You can tell me anything Anything at all We can go anywhere We won't fall Darlin' I look up to you You're so tall Maybe there's no paradise But I dig my own grave I will echo you Til there's no time to save I cut my own hair And I don't sleep at night And I hear 'em say 'yeah yeah yeah' Everything's alright

Same Coin 06:29
lyrics
buy track
If we're the same coin How can we meet We must pay together for actions so sweet If we're the same coin We're paying for the same show Or rolling down streets with nowhere to go Or gathering dust Or gathering dew Or lit by the jukebox in nights so untrue If we're the same coin We can't never see the face that you know Ain't the one facing me There's your side but mine Is the one that is true Left in jeans on the floor That stain my room blue The things you can't buy The things you cant lose Swapping pennies for highs And silver for blues If we're the same coin We're in the same pocket Jingling like lovers Until we must cop it Cut from the same cloth Poured from the same kettle Sometimes we listen To country or metal There's your side but mine Is the one that is true Left in jeans on the floor That stain my room blue The things you can't buy The things you cant lose Swapping pennies for highs And silver for blue And when times are hard Gold shines so bright It'll get you through a door And through a long hard night And silver's the difference between calling your name And looking for trouble To keep out the rain And the same coin's the one That spins in the sun And pays twice for your stolen blues So silvery small Coppery dull Its slips in your pocket To pay for what you done

Don't Let Her Slip Away 02:50
lyrics
buy track
So you fucked it up Now you gotta fix it up It happens all the time To better friends than mine Don't let her slip away Use all the tools that you got Use your heat and your heart and yr tears and your snot Just don't let her go Don't let her slip away Show her what a motherfucking man you are Show her the moon and give her the stars Just make her stay Get down on one knee Spell out your love in tears Don't drown it in silence and pity and beer Make it clear Hold her near She's pretty as a flower And wise as a monk And maybe you don't go in for all of that junk But let the girl know Don't let her go Ah you made a fool of yourself once You can do it again Or you'll be sitting in some bar Trying to romanticize What a cunt you are If you said everything Say it again Say it better then I'm just telling you As your friend She's the beginning and she's the end Run to her Or you'll spend the rest of your days trying to pay Most girls aren't made that way Put aside your pride Rip off your shirt and let your waters run wide So you fucked it up Now you gotta fix it up It happens all the time To better friends than mine Don't let her slip away

Cheap Glue 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Well you shouldn't have told me what you said Cos now I can't get it out of my head You'd be better off dead Than running round in my head Friends come to me all the time I say yeah sure, that's fine But I don't have the time I don't have the time There's some what will take care of you When you come unstuck like cheap glue I guess I thought that was you But you didn't have a clue You shouldn't have told me what you done Cos now you ruined all of my fun And I just thought you were someone Who wouldn't spoil all my fun There's some what will take care of you When you come unstuck like cheap glue When you're restless and blue I guess I thought that was you There's some what will take care of you When you come unstuck like cheap glue I guess I thought that was you

Six Strings of Pleasure 06:21
lyrics
buy track
Six strings of pleasure Can't begin to measure The hours that I waited For you tonight All stations to you That's what my darlin' said But he can't catch that train to me 'Til somebody's dead Six strings of pleasure And each a small sin The days are so long I don't know where they begin Six strings of pleasure One for each finger And one leftover Over which to linger Hands running like water Over my skin If you knock in the darkness I'll let you in Six strings of pleasure One for each night Three for the moments I counted tonight I hear a train rumble Three nights vibrate Six wheels are turning Five minutes late Blame it on the living Blame it on the wake Six strings of pleasure Is all I can take An airstrip that's calling And last train gone This spell has me falling Down like a stone Six strings of pleasure Five minutes late For arms long-awaited Three nights radiate

Everyone You Ever Knew (Is Coming Back To Haunt You) 05:14
lyrics
buy track
She's just sitting there In her lace evening wear Lights are low She's solitary That's the status quo Didn't you know He left so long ago It's dead and buried Feel it comin on Like a pantheon I can't stand that old tune Fills the whole room Ooh everyone you ever knew Is coming back to haunt you Are you ready Ooh everyone you ever knew Is coming back to haunt you Hold steady She wonders why you never called her Why her world keeps getting smaller Why the kids keep getting' taller And how could you? He always wanted to know What really happened that night She didn't even want to go But he put up such a good good fight Ooh everyone you ever knew Is coming back to haunt you Are you ready Ooh everyone you ever knew Is coming back to haunt you Already There ain't no grace In coming face to face And there's no surprise When you come eye to eye Movin' on We're movin' on I feel it comin' on Already Ooh everyone you ever knew Is coming back to haunt you Are you ready Ooh everyone you ever knew Is coming back to haunt you Hold steady

Strangers Teeth 02:50
lyrics

What you gonna see with those stranger's eyes What you gonna see The Top of the Town Or the taps running gold But you won't be seein' me How's its gonna feel With those stranger's hands How's it gonna feel Like the lonely night That don't understand Like the hands that grip the wheel How's it gonna sit on that stranger's knee How's it gonna sit Like an itch that won't quit The head that won't lift That's how it's gonna sit How you gonna run With those stranger's legs How you gonna run home to me Mama always told me Don't talk to strangers And I don't know the man that I see Who you gonna bite With those stranger's teeth Who you gonna bite Who you gonna grab in the middle of the night Who'll be left and who'll be right
