The air raids at night, are keeping things serene.
the president's men are closing in on me.
and the crosshair grin you hold me in still doest not propose an argument convincing me to shed the devil's clothes.
electrodes to spine.
tongeuning my wounds clean.
that's when the nightmare stops.
oh yeah I had a dream, I had a dream.
it went - shackled to the lover of another in a chapel so pristine.
baptisted as atheists.
I never felt so clean.
the more I hear dove's cry, the less I want to fly.
the more I hear them crying out...
when does the seizure end?
when does the cyanide kick in?
I'd like to hike you up over this waste of love and back again.
oh my mistress sweet distress your dress is bringing it all back to me.
and we are closer then whores caught up in a roundabout in hell.
twilight isn't in the dark on this one you can play me out on the hotel floor.
the more I hear doves cry.
this is where the plot it thickens.
not behind the ribs but below the truth.
you can use your sleuth, cause I'm begging for proof.
when does the seizure end?
when does the cyanide kick in?
I'd like to hike you up over this waste of love and back again.
oh my mistress sweet distress your dress is bringing it all back to me.
and we are closer then whores caught up in a roundabout.
no need to run away.
the pig was snuffed and laid.
we say this happening all on the front page.
this is the last time we bet on landmines.
we've got a lot riding on this one.
so save your bullets for the call back.
we've got a lot riding on this one.
don't turn your back till you see the blood flow black

    Possibly the best song off the "Found in the Flood" CD. Such powerful lyrics too.

    I agree. One of my favourite songs off FitF. The lyrics are amazing... I haven't figured out what's the song about yet... but that's that beauty with The Bled. Everyone can get whatever they want... everyone percives the lyrics differently. The lyrics are amazing, no doubt.

    I love the bled. Going to see them in a day gosh I've never been so excited

    I love the breakdown in this song. They tease you with it the whollllle song, because it could happen in so many different places. Then, BAM!, at 4:12, it kicks in. Fucking awesome. I'm not one to like metalcore type bands, but I love this band. They put on such a good live show.

    I'm almost positive this is about Hitler's suicide

    seems like it could definitely be about hitler's suicide

    out of the last half of the cd, it's definitely the best, the last 3 songs are pretty lacking

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
