| Minus the Bear – Fooled By The Night Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Official lyrics from MTB's website: I’m not going to leave you, not for good You are the real one and I am your fool Fooled by the night and drinking the poison Enough to get right, then to freeze frame vision Freeze frame vision Freeze frame vision I only see in Gone for days in the country and I am alone This old wood stove cooks my food and keeps me warm A dog in the night is singing his song and I’m drinking the poison until my visions gone Freeze frame vision Freeze frame vision I only see in Her heels click on the sidewalk adding tempo to the sound of the city living hard this ain’t no one bar town Holding a new hand she don’t know his last name she doesn’t need the anguish or the pain He had a place that was just up the street if she was down for the walk He had a view that couldn’t be beat and the looks and the talk He put the right music on that music led her astray Touching her just like he should but she was heading that way Moving through her tangent Couldn’t breath couldn’t talk Falling in lust with an accident when sometimes time seems to stop Freeze frame vision Freeze frame vision I only see in The morning’s barely breathing when I awake I need something to kill this dull ache Have you been sleeping or is it still your town? Are you drinking the poison and phasing me out? Freeze frame vision Freeze frame vision I only see in She’s getting close and he doesn’t know |

Official lyrics from MTB's website: Walking down Dayglow Vista Road taking a break to read the stones Sunken graves that seem to say “We’re not here anymore,” and it’s like they never been here before Everybody’s got a shine on walking down Dayglow Vista Road Everybody’s got a high on down by the old path ghosts You look so sweet with the sunlight filtered down on you I’m under your thumb Don’t want to get stuck when the storm comes Everybody’s got a shine on walking down Dayglow Vista Road Everybody’s got a high on down by the old path ghosts What’s a little bit of rain? As we walk on it comes on night and the pathway fades away Lost in a forest graveyard and we’re tripping the night away Everybody’s got a shine on walking down Dayglow Vista Road Everybody’s got a high on walking down Dayglow Vista Road Everybody’s got a shine on |

Official lyrics from MTB's website: (in the reflection) I don’t know you that well, but I like your energy She is a wolf looking through my window And though I’m safe, my love, I want to roam behind this pane, behind this wall of stone Caught in the pull of your green eyed glow I want to feel my skin in the snow She is a wolf looking through my window Caught in the pull of your green eyed glow I want to feel my skin in the snow And though I’m safe, my love, I want to roam behind this pane, behind this wall of stone She is a wolf looking through my window My new love howling in the night outside My new love howling in the moonlight I don’t know you that well, but I like your energy (in the reflection) Caught in the pull of your green eyed glow (She is a wolf looking in my window) She’s a wolf looking through my window I want to feel my skin in the snow (and I am a ghost from a million years ago) She’s a wolf looking through my window And though I’m safe, my wolf, I want to roam (She is a wolf looking in my window) She’s a wolf looking through my window Behind this pane behind this wall of stone (and I am a ghost from a million years ago) She’s a wolf looking through my window |

Official lyrics from MTB's website: You’ve got a rich dad who hates every boy like me I’ve got no money and daddy don’t like my ease I wanna steal you like a pearl I wanna display you like a diamond Let me take you
to a beach in Alicanté Sleep on the strand to the breath of España’s sea until you stray Should I find you’re not around I would surely chase you down lure you in with a lonely sound and then I’ll have you I’m gonna steal you like a pearl I’m gonna display you like a diamond Do I awake alone? a five dollar bill in yesterday’s clothes on the floor of a room off Calle Mayor that a better man paid for Should I find you’re not around I would surely chase you down lure you in with a lonely sound and then I’ll have you I’m gonna steal you like a pearl I’m gonna display you like a diamond You got a real shine set in fool’s gold I am the fool Your pearls are plastic and diamonds glass Now I’m alone Should I find you’re not around I would surely chase you down lure you in with a lonely sound and then I’ll have you |

| Minus the Bear – Excuses Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Official lyrics from MTB's website: Coins I could drop shake in my pocket, they shake like you do Steps that you take bend and they break, they break like I do Running out of excuses When we know what the truth is I’m into you When you hear this song, you’ll say you knew all along, you’re into me too The vibe you send sets me at my end, do you get my vibe too? You’ve held me on for so long with what’s a lie and what is true Running out of excuses When we know what the truth is I’m into you When you hear this song, you’ll say you knew all along, you’re into me too That black and white dress puts me into a trance as I memorize you If this game of chance ends in a loss I just lose it to you Running out of excuses When we know what the truth is I’m into you When you hear this song, you’ll say you knew all along, you’re into me too |

Official lyrics from MTB's website: And I’m in the wind I am going to let it take me where it may Maybe it lifts me to New Orleans or the dark streets of L.A. I’m in the wind I am in the wind and if I fall to where you’re standing will you tend to me? I’m in the wind I am in the wind and if I end up in your arms will you help me stay? I want your comfort for the evening I need to pause and get my head Hold me down, baby or the wind will catch me out again I’m in the wind and I don’t know how long the breeze will let me stay Maybe your kiss will calm the weather down and let me wait I want your comfort for the evening I need to pause and get my head Hold me down, baby or the wind will catch me out again I’m giving you up, I’m giving you up I’m giving you up, I’m giving you up I’m giving you up, I’m giving you up, again. I want your comfort for the evening I need to pause and get my head Hold me down, baby or the wind will catch me out again Hold me down Hold me down Hold me down, just keep me for another night |

Official lyrics from MTB's website: Soft rain falls around us and the moon says it’s getting late Arm in arm, steps in time, we come to the edge of the lake We forget where we are and you’re so loud and the water around our feet can’t find no way out Take me back to this world You take me to the line Take me out of this world Drown with me tonight There is water on the concrete, rivulets on the face You release me from your kiss and do a dance for me and the rain Falling down and splashing up I’m clapping for a second cut your rain soaked pirouette spins me around again Take me back to this world You take me to the line Take me out of this world Drown with me tonight We forget where we are Now I’m reading into your intention and I’m falling through your depth You pull me to the water’s edge and vanish in the black You’re on my mind swim through my time As I float out to you I dream of your caress Take me out of this world You take me to the line Take me out of this world Drown with me tonight We forget where we are |

| Minus the Bear – Summer Angel Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Official lyrics from MTB's website: When we made it to the garden it was well past nine Our hands came to agreement as we walked in time A jealous rose stole a thread from her skirted thigh I clipped it quick with a flick of this switchblade knife That rose was so fine in her hair Her shadow in the moon light The hot summer night’s right My summer angel keeps me on the run Poppies swayed while she spun on how she fell in love “When in Rome, or c’est la vie, when over seas, however you want” Leaning close in she finally threw me the life raft She pulled me in and kept me right until the night left That rose was so fine in her hair Her shadow in the moon light The hot summer night’s right My summer angel keeps me on the run and when her kisses came,
they rained down and when my body moved,
she made sound and when she moved down she made my back arc as I lay there in the moon light dark She sang … That rose was so fine in her hair Her shadow in the moon light The hot summer night’s right My summer angel keeps me on the run |

Official lyrics from MTB's website: Turn off the lights, touch me in the dark, fade into the feeling, whisper in my ear What you want, what you need. Tell me my name, tell me my name again Just yell out my name, baby. I got your nights, I got your days I got you on my time You taste like sweet wine and we are magnified The sweat rolls down your thigh, making moves so blind It’s what you want, it’s what you need— I’m just the same, baby I got your nights, I got your days I got you on my time And you’re holding on to me like an old love that you know every inch of. when I feel you start to go I’ll take it slow until your body’s saying more I got your nights, I got your days I got you on my time You’re gonna be on my time |

| Talking Heads – This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is quite possibly my favorite song of all time. No, let me rephrase that: it is my favorite song of all time. I think this is a rare case of a Talking Heads song being exactly what it is, no hidden messages or meaning. It's about love. Real, amazing, fun-loving, friendship-based love. Love that makes your house your home. It's different because it's a love song coming from the perspective of someone who isn't typically a romantic. But that doesn't mean there's a hidden subversive quality to it. To me, it's the song of a guy who never thinks he'll fall in love, never thinks he'll find another person that makes him feel the things that other love songs are made of, never really even cares whether he will. And then he does. He's going along through life and suddenly: BAM! Love shows up. First verse = falling in love. Feeling of spinning, feeling of floating ("pick me up and turn me round"). I always picture two people lying in the grass, looking at the clouds, laughing, playing, twirling each other around in bare feet. As it turns out, love got him even though he wasn't looking for it ("born with a weak heart"), but it's okay even though he doesn't know how to act in a relationship. They'll just make it up as they go along, being friends and dating and having fun along the way. There's no need to talk about it (the relationship) because it just is what it is. The other person feels the same, falling in love with him ("you've got light in your eyes"), and they start to adjust to actually being/living together, maybe they're even getting married ("you're standing here beside me... passing of time... cover up and say goodnight"). It's the whole transition of everything from meeting someone to dating to making a life together. Second verse = realizing you're in love, in a real meaningful way. Realizing that home is actually the other person, realizing that you can no longer remember who you are as an individual or what life was like before this person came around, because you identify so strongly as part of this couple ("I can't tell one from another. Did I find you, or you find me?"). He's saying, I know that there was life before you, and before us, but I can't quite remember and it feels like our love is unique, but I know that of all the other people in the world, we're not the only ones to feel this way ("There was a time before we were born..."). But then I've given into love and this is where I see myself, with you, for the rest of my future ("this is where I'll be"). I think the real genius of this song is it means so many different things to different people. Because the lyrics are vague but yet meaningful, the emotional connection to them varies from perso to person. To me, this will always be a joyous song. |
