My Red House Painters fix-
Red House Painters - Have You Forgotten
can't let you be
cause your beauty won't allow me
wrapped in white sheets
like an angel from a bedtime story
shut out what they say
cause your friends are fucked up anyway
and when they come around
somehow they feel up and you feel down
when we were kids
we hated things our parents did
we listened low
to casey kasem's radio show
that's when friends were nice
to think of them just makes you feel nice
the smell of grass in spring
and october leaves cover everything
have you forgotten how to love yourself?
i can't believe all the good things that you do for me
sat back in a chair
like a princess from a faraway place
nobody's nice
when you're older your heart turns to ice
and shut out what they say
they're too dumb to mean it anyway
when we were kids
we hated things our sisters did
backyard summer pools
and christmases were beautiful
and the sentiment
of coloured mirrored ornaments
and the open drapes
look out on frozen farmhouse landscapes
have you forgotten how to love yourself?
Red House Painters - Summer Dress
Summer dress
makes you more beautiful than the rest
Lovliest girl that i know, and the sweetest
spends her life inside, she thinks she isn't blessed
Summer dress
separates you from the rest
Easiest days of her life have been spent
Wonders if she is loved, if she is missed
Says a prayer as she's kissed
by ocean mist
Takes herself to the sand
and dreams
Says a prayer as she's kissed
by ocean mist
takes herself to the sand
and dreams
Red House Painters - I Feel The Rain Fall
I feel the rain fall
Down my back
I'm going back
To my place of work
To get things done
To get them right
But i'll mess them up
And i always do
Buried in words about you
This year, oh what a year
I layed around
Just feeling down
And from our happy room
I watched the seasons as they flew
And then when christmas came
I layed my head to rest in chains
Cause with my finished work
I turn my head back
Still didn't work
And i put it to bed
You often swore to find me dead
Too many times enough
To start again
To give it up
And then the morning came
Til i felt day
Til i'm awake
Cause with my finished work
I turn my head back
Still didn't work
I feel the rain fall
Down my back
I'm going back
Red House Painters - Another Song For A Blue Guitar
She comes apart at the seams
Cause she never dreams
As she lays up awake
Cause her feelings ache
And the one thing she found
As she gazed at the sea
Was that she lost her faith
Her faith in me
And in the early morning
I can't make up a thing
And a barely can play
I don't like to sing
So i picked up my brush
Painted blue guitar
And i ripped off the chords
From 'bron y' aur'
So i played her a song
But the timing was wrong
Poor choices of chords
And the words were forced
And the one thing that i found
As i gazed at the sea
Was that she lost all hope
All hope in me
As she gazed at the sea
Was that she lost her faith
Her faith in me
Palace Music - "West Palm Beach"
I can't get the sand out of my shoes
This being in Florida's done a number on my blues
Just the way the women walk round here
It's plain to see the way the sand and the sea have done a number on me
And the sky is threatening black and gray and the sun is a festering red
And her head is claiming her stats; she ain't yet risen from bed
So breakfast again delayed, postponed, I wont be fed
The surf has swallowed him up, he's a memory now
And the water's warmer than it has been in weeks
Grandma lives just down the road, she's making supper for me tonight
She's been nice to me since '73 when her sun lost his lights
And now his ghost is a rising host above the briny blur
I would that soon some maid would swoon and his soul would capture her
He's still a fine kid, what with all that he did, he's a fan of mine
I wasn't planning to spend so long in town
But the break in the weather has got the partner down
She won't get out, she's shotgun, seems she's sewn to the seat
It's a dirty old trick that I've yet to lick and she's yet to beat
You can see it in her eyes, she was born unwise, she was born for me
If she mourns too long I'll know something's wrong and I'll leave her be
You can tell by his shoes he was born to lose, he was born for me
Red House Painters - San Geronimo
Somewhere, up fifteen miles
Sifting through crackling vinyl
Lost memories of my youth
Are coming into view
Between lost hills divide
Quietly we sleep inside
Lost summers of my youth
I spent them all with you
Take ways by withered creeks
Lizards sunning in the streets
Small kitten stretches through
Green, empty yards you knew
Weekend in San Geronimo
Love how the starlit skies show
Weekend in San Geronimo
Sentiments within me glows
Somewhere, up fifteen miles
Barefoot on kitchen tile
When nights are warm and true
I'll spend them all with you
Weekend in San Geronimo
Love how the starlit skies show
Weekend in San Geronimo
Sentiments within me glows
Weekend in San Geronimo
Love how the starlit skies show
Weekend in San Geronimo
Sentiments within me glows
Weekend in San Geronimo
Love how the starlit skies show
Weekend in San Geronimo
Sentiments within me glows
Weekend in San Geronimo
Love how the starlit skies show
Weekend in San Geronimo
Sentiments within me glows

Alice in Chains Jar of Flies, There was so much emotion, so much pain, in Layne Stanley's voice, they spoke to people on very personal level, it sucks that drugs took Layne Stanley and Mike Starr, one of my favorite bands ever, I was too young to appreciate them in their hey day because I was just a kid but it was listening to Dirt for the first time and hearing Rooster that I could feel the power in Layne's voice, after I listened to Facelift. Anyways here is Jar of Flies. They have a new album out called The Devil put Dinosaurs here.
Friends Together Together Forever
Diggin' My Potatoes
I enjoy that album—Nutshell being my favorite track on it. The way Layne Staley died is so damn depressing.JesusChild
What I'm listening to right now:
The Walkmen- The Rat
The Walkmen - Wake Up
Out of a station through my radio
Nothings on it
Like a joke that's told with out its final line
Where's it going
Where had it belonged
I know
I'm trying
I'm trying to wake up
Wake up
And I tell by you way too far
Looking back I had a casing sentimental suns and shade
Won't they ever spin around
Forward
They're trying
They're trying
And so they do
In the call of a new world
As I climb to the next floor
Haven't we
Met before
Under brighter skies above
Above
And in a way its fine
We're walking through wind
Unfamiliar scenes
We're choking to live
And we're shaking hands with someone we don't know now
Wake up
Wake up
Boards Of Canada - Roygbiv
One of the best bands I've seen live!
Boards Of Canada - Reach for the Dead
(off their new album, 'Tomorrow's Harvest'
Bill Callahan - Our Anniversary
It's our anniversary
I leave it ajar
And go outside
To look at the driveway stars
The crickets are chirping
They stop at my step
I stop my step
And they start up again
Its our anniversary and the bullfrogs
And everything that can sing is singing
Its mating song
The soil is steaming
Grass is swooning
Guns or fireworks are popping
Down in the town
A woman is running
A man jumps up and down
Its our anniversary and youve hidden my keys
This is one anniversary you're spending with me
I slide in the front seat
The drivers side
To hotwire and hightail crosses my mind
But still in the driveway
Fixed like the stars
I flip on the headlights
And go back inside
The climates controlled
While the battery dies
Clipping the wings of your morning flight
The night will end
In some form of excess
Pants around ankles
Too weak to fully undress
Its our anniversary
A celebration of
And heres to next year
Maybe you'll join me in my car
We'll drive together
But not too far
We are far from flowers
Cut and dried
So let us thrive let us thrive
Let us thrive let us thrive
Just like the weeds
We curse sometimes
