July Jones Lyrics
Come clean
Through the waves
Of debris
The mind's eye
Is first to go
So hang onto that number
Like gold
And get thee
Back to the old truth
July Jones
Because baby, there's a lot
We don't know
One of the greats
On the way
Hold on
Behind the daylight
Who knew
What it could feel like?
Class war
Held your hand
Through your plans
But not me
But stay free
Baby, there are worse things
To be
So lay free
In your faith beside me
But lay low
Because baby, there's a lot
We don't know
Class war
Kissed your lips
Left you stripped
To your toes
And I know
That baby, it's so much
To outgrow
So get thee
Back to the old truth
July Jones
Because baby, there's a lot
We don't know
Through the waves
Of debris
The mind's eye
Is first to go
So hang onto that number
Like gold
Back to the old truth
July Jones
Because baby, there's a lot
We don't know
On the way
Hold on
Behind the daylight
Who knew
What it could feel like?
Held your hand
Through your plans
But not me
But stay free
Baby, there are worse things
To be
In your faith beside me
But lay low
Because baby, there's a lot
We don't know
Kissed your lips
Left you stripped
To your toes
And I know
That baby, it's so much
To outgrow
Back to the old truth
July Jones
Because baby, there's a lot
We don't know

"come clean through the waves of debris"
Wow. That line is amazing. this song is amazing. It is truly a masterpiece that engulfs you when you listen to it. It moves you, while maintaining a relaxed feel. If I smoked, i would totally smoke to this song. But I don't.
probably my favorite new pornographers song. dont really know what its about, but i know it makes me want to turn up the music and close my eyes and be infinite. cliche, but true
haha i know what you mean. i would too
lol agreed. and it's definitely one of those infinite songs.
A freaking mazing
I've always felt this song was about a person struggling to become someone great. They feel like they are lost behind all of the mindless masses, and want to break away and be something more.
