Bone House Lyrics
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
I build a home
I wrote a song
Go on and listen
That's all you'll hear
When I go missing
I always get the things I want
I make a nest
For your hair
I lay you down
I lay you there
I build a ship
I sink or sail
Every tooth
And every nail
I always get the things I want
I put your heart
In a vault
That's how I get
The things I want
I lay a road
For your mind
So your mind can
Go go go go
I always get the things I want
I build a house
I build a home
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
I build a home
For your bones
I build a house
I build a home
Go on and listen
That's all you'll hear
When I go missing
For your hair
I lay you down
I lay you there
I build a ship
I sink or sail
Every tooth
And every nail
In a vault
That's how I get
The things I want
I lay a road
For your mind
So your mind can
Go go go go
I build a home
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
I build a home

This song is my favorite off of "Horehound". Very Rage Against the Machine meets convoluted blues.
yeah, my fav by far
This song is incredible
I get the feeling that this is about someone who is in a relationship, and has control over their partner. Also, I get the feeling of some angry lovin' too. :)
I think it's about the beginning of a relationship, and someone laying down the laws. They're going to wear the trousers and the other person either has to like it or lump it, basically.
I think most of dead weather's songs are about relationships where one of them has a lot of power above the other.
But also it's kinda sad if you always analyze it as a BAD thing. It's just what happens if you have a strong personality and fall always in love with passive people. I don't think that the strong one wants to manipulate the situation. As a matter of fact, he just wants to protect the weak one(cause he knows that he's stronger). But in retrospection he knows that it's a wrong reason to affect the other's life, but it's the only way that he knows how to be.
