Looking for you
05:05

I thought it was you and me against the world
How wrong I was
It’s you and her and her and you now.
I don’t claim to be original in any way
We’re all the same, go say the same things now
I read your mails
It came as some relief to know you could feel good again
But still I knew we’ve been losing you and me for years,
I was looking for you
Looking for you Looking for you Looking for you
And I know that you’re not one for looking back and all of that
But take my word, there’ll come a time you will
And you’ll remember then, the cogs in wheels
Where they come from and what went wrong
And where your heart belongs
I saw your face
It hit me like a blow to know you could feel good again
Still I knew we’ve been losing you and me for years I was looking for you
I was looking for you
Looking for you Looking for you Looking for you
And you won’t find that thing inside you gave to me
You won’t find that thing inside you gave to me
I was looking for you
Looking for you Looking for you Looking for you

Still Alive

Will you be my Jekyll or my Hyde
Nothing breaths under cyanide
Your blue bird has fallen from the sky
All things bloom, everything will die
We will over come
We will overcome
Tried to let sleeping dogs lie
Something changed, the river ran dry
You moved on so soon I new
I was right to cut this bloom
We will over come
We will overcome
All my fears turned out to be right
13 years, a 7th of my life
All those words ‘forever hold you tight’
Your French love is running through the night
We will overcome
Tried to be all you wanted
Inside me resisted your orders
Your father’s son
My mother’s daughter
I can’t live where there’s no laughter
Hold on Hold on tight
We’re still alive

Tower of Rivers
03:43
|
|||
|
All of the gardens I ever tended
No matter how splendid, I moved on
I’ll never know the earth again under my feet no,
nor plant a seed nor watch it grow
I fell in to a well to the bottom of the sea
I gave in to the well
Built a tower of rivers
All of the ceilings that I ever painted have somehow been tainted in my mind
And all of the curtains I made out of velvet
They stand in the pulpit of time
Where was my God when he put out his cigarette on my arm when I was small
I’ll never take a train again or pick up a paper
Or see a skyscraper
Or go to the mall
I fell in to a well to the bottom of the sea
I gave in to the well
Built a tower of rivers
I die, I die but my body keeps living
I die, I die but my body keeps giving
I’ll never leave my room again unless you drag me

White Shoes

I was a long time thinking about
The things I love about you
What is forever
Forever is long
That was a long time
That was a long time
I remember the view we first met
You came as the sun set
White shoes
Eyes of blue
Looking through me
That was a long time
That was a long time

Revival of heart
03:16

Where is the meaning
Switching the channel
Your facial expression
Tower is falling down
Down
I am switching on Revival of Heart
Cuckoo’s got a hold
Go
Build another nest
Seasons will come and go
Revival of the heart can be so slow
All will come clean
All will grow old
Legacy is what we leave behind
Trees will lose their leaves
Love is blind
Love
Where is the money
Is all I hear you say
You were the honey
I was the bread while you were making hay
All night and day
All work no play
Cuckoo’s got a hold
Go
Build another nest
Seasons will come and go
Revival of the heart can be so slow
All will come clean
All will grow old
Legacy is what we leave behind
You can eat the fruit, I’ll chew the rind
Love is blind
Love

Sweet Confectionary
02:04
|
|||
|
Working on forgiving you
Not to take it personally
You found someone who’s skinnier than me
Looks more like Charlotte Gainsbourg
Who understands rigidity
Bows down to the patriarchy
Homages to men and so much closer to your dream
Mmm Sweet Confectionary
(you had me in chains)
Mmm Sweet Confectionary
Ours is such a tragedy
Started out as love supreme
We were the cats who got the cream
We were the ones who killed the dream
Change the picture on your locket
Chase the devil in your pocket
Hanging man of Jodorowsky
Chocolate hearts your sweet confectionary
(you had me in chains)
Mmm Sweet Confectionary
(you had me in chains)
Mmm Sweet Confectionary

Go

I knew what love was before I met you
You put me under, now I’ve come to
Ooh there’s no need to lie
Ooh, I wished you would die
I’m dancing in my head
Dancing in my head
Dancing in my head
Save it for the hand
Save it for the hand
See how I’m oh oh oh oh ver you
We built a love on pure fantasy
Something inside me fell at the wheel
Ooh there’s no need to lie
Ooh, I wished you would die
Save it for the hand
See how oh oh oh oh ver you
Dancing in my head
Dancing in my head

Your mouth is moving I can see but darling I can’t hear
I’m under water
You are standing by I see your fear
Did you change the world
Did you make it good
Did you mean it all
Did you live your word
It’s not what you have it’s what you do with it
It’s not what you have it’s what you do with it
It’s not what you have it’s what you do with it
It’s not what you have
Golden hearts and minds and words and love don’t change a thing
It’s what you do with what you feel inside that makes you sing
It’s not what you have it’s what you do with it
It’s not what you have it’s what you do with it
It’s not what you have it’s what you do with it
It’s not what you have
And I can let it go
I can let it go
Golden hearts and minds and words and love don’t change a thing
It’s what you do with what you feel inside that makes you sing
M.A.K.E. M.A.K.E. D.O
Switching on Switching off
Did you change the world
Did you make it good
Did you mean it all
Did you live your word
M.A.K.E. M.A.K.E. D.O
Switching on Switching off Switching on
M.A.K.E. M.A.K.E. D.O I.T

One of you

All the suffers of the body
See all I am
All the world is burning
And we better start again or it’s over
To the top of the hill run
Run Run
I’m one of you
I’m one of you
I’m one of you
I make my own moves
Oh and who started it
All the fires I see
Can we buy
Obviously the sense of unequal services me
Service me me me me me me me
Run Run
(We’re all sick)And the city rubbish
We’re all born equal
Is it true Is it true
Giant otter Amur leopard
The lines are crossing now
The stakes are getting high
Can somebody sell me the future
The Bengal flourican
The tides are rising now
The hopes are rising too
Sumatran tiger Polar bear Koala Sumatran Rhino clownfish The Hawksbill turtles the nightingale
I’m one of you
I’m one of you
I’m one of you
I make my own moves

When you’re losing all your power
Burning ashes in your heart
Hold your head up
Hold your hand out
Let me pull you from the dark
I was wondering is anyone out there tonight
was wondering if anything should come to light
Stepping away from the explosion
Somewhere fallen underneath
All things everybody’s feeling
Caught between the lines of light
Everything was such a fight
All the birds have taken flight
Am I not deserving Am I not deserving
Deafening the silence
Consummated sorrow
LLLLlove boat was sold at sea
Holding a broken heart
I know it will heal
Emulate this love but this one was real
I was wondering is anyone out there tonight
was wondering if anything should come to light
Stepping away from the explosion
Somewhere fallen underneath
All things everybody’s feeling
Caught between the lines of light
Everything was such a flight
All the birds have taken flight
I am receiving
I am receiving

Amazing. Hushed but dark, a cold, bright spark on a moonless night. Both restrained and deeper than it seems at first.

LAMINATE PET ANIMAL
by SNOWMINE
This is the first in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. There’s been talk of an 80s revival of one sort or another since long before the 80s even came to an end. Some long for the angular rhythms … Continue reading Album of the Week: Laminate Pet Animal →

if no one else cares, why should I care?
by Good Good Blood
Pairing lo-fi indie rock with silvery folk instrumentation, the self-described "bedroom pop wizard" casts a cozy, poignant spell.
