Dirty Projectors – About To Die Lyrics 13 years ago
>>

If the search has been long and futile
and brutal,
and if you squint trying to recollect the bosom
of your hoodlum love...
(Hey, baby)

You reach out and into the absence
and, gasping,
the vastness grabs you like an alien embrace,
your face to its face...

No end, and neither beginning.
You're spinning --
you're breathless, orbiting a dark and hateful star,
an evil world.

Where would I ever be without you?
How could I hope to seize the tablet
of values
and redact it?
Foolish I know.

But I'm about to die,
about to die,
about to die,
about to die.

Your life must surely be ending,
and, trembling,
you realize you never lived a day at all, (Wait...)
and it's all your fault. (Wow!)

It all seems unspeakably vile,
and while
you wretch the memory of all you understood,
the vandal laughs into his hood.

Where would I ever be without you?
How could I hope to seize the tablet
of values
and redact 'em?
Foolish I know.

But I'm about to die,
about to die,
about to die,
about to die.

Look there, the goblin's dressed up like a wound.
Mutants are vagrant and hateful.

Look there, the mirror: a zombie stands staring,
vacant and glaring, pronouncing your name.
As you're saying...

('bout to die, 'bout to die...)
About to die,
about to die.
('bout to die, 'bout to die...)

Where would I ever be without you? (...no fucking clue.)
How could I hope to seize the tablet
of values
and redact it?
Foolish I know.

But I'm about to die,
about to die,
about to die,
about to die.

('bout to die, 'bout to die...)
About to die,
about to die.
('bout to die, 'bout to die...)

(You're already dead... but you're about to die)

Zoo Kid – Out Getting Ribs Lyrics 13 years ago
And hate runs through my blood
Well, my tongue was in love
and my heart, it was left above (?)

I've gotta be leaving now
I thought I'd never be shut down
But, girl, I'm black and blue
So beaten down for you
Well I'm beaten down and blue...

(Don't break away)
(I'll waste away)
(Don't break away)

And lay me out across the grave
Hours I should have kept at bay
I had no chance to get away

I can't escape my own escape
Even more when it's sweet to the taste

Red stairs lead sense astray
I look up and see the faith (?)
But, girl, just lean over and say

You'll lay me down
(?)
You take my crown (?)
(?)

But wait, I'll make my last request
See, this could be the best
But, boo, I need to rest

Well, I've been broken down
So much has lost it now (?)
I'll just stop and say,

Girl, don't you worry bout a thing

(Girl, baby blue...)

Zoo Kid – Lizard State Lyrics 13 years ago
I don't care about sunny days
gonna keep it out of sight right under the shade
I'm gonna keep it out of sight right under the shade
It's gonna be like this
and that's alright
and that's OK
Is that OK...?

Well I might settle for (?) lines (?)
in my head I'm dead tired of this shit
you've caused, you fuckin bitch
You dont know where to stop
You're a bunch of fuckin fat bitches
(Fuckin fat bitches)

Well I got myself trapped in the black of your heart
And now I'm gonna fuck things over cos that's a start

Well if I can't have it then no one can

But, babe, what am I to do?
I've given up on lovin you
I know it's not nothing new

So please do what I ask of you
And please do what I want you to do
It's not fair
(Baby blue, it's true)

One day I'm gonna have you
but for now I don't care
I still feel the pain
of you not lovin me the same
There's not much I can do...

Well I got everyone on my back
I'm not gonna crack like you cracked
You're a fuckin pussy, boy
(?)
You got no legs to keep anywhere near my height (?)
So don't try and get near my height
Well you're trying to keep out of my way (?)
I wanna see what you have to say
I wanna see you reach the state
If that's OK
and if that's not OK...
(That's not OK...)

Well I don't wanna be in the black of your heart
And if I'm gonna make it clear then I'll tear you apart

From the inside to the out

But, baby, what am I to do?
I've given up on lovin you
I know it's not nothin new

So please to what I ask you to
And please to what I want of you
It's just not fair
(Baby blue, it's true...)

One day I'm gonna have you
but for now I don't care
I still feel the pain
of you not lovin you the same (?)

Girl, what am I supposed to do?
I'm so hung up on lovin you (?)
I know this is something new
cos all I want to do
is whatever I have to do

Well, they all knife me in the back (?)
and I can't believe you're slippin away like that...

Wild Beasts – End Come Too Soon Lyrics 14 years ago
>> Here's what I think are the lyrics...

Break some bread.
The night’s been blessed
with a neverendingness,
but nonetheless...
end come too soon.

Sweet concubine,
the night’s divine
in an neverending line
of lovers...
end come too soon.

On the cusp,
the both of us
without any maybes, but musts
that carry us
to the end too soon.

Ink begins to blot.
My eyes are bloodshot:
they’ve seen things they wish they had not,
but it won’t stop
the end coming too soon.


Whose butter-fingers read me like Braille?
Whose dirty mouth would have made Mary hail?
Whose wholesome heart had borne down on me?
Who ushers dreamers into such harems?
Whose skin looked waxen in the failing light?
Who downright danced me like a sailing kite?

-

>> Here's some of the stuff in this song...

Infinity / end
Divine, dreamlike / dirty, visceral
Eucharist / coitus
The sheepish brute, 'the old dog'/ 'my [innocent] darling, my dumpling'; 'wholesome heart'
