It's been ages, and I felt the need to 'write' this down somewhere...
I entered a playlist mania, so I've been gathering new songs to add and 'copy pasting' loads of lyrics. Bare with me, will you?
This song is a favorite, it's deep and it has had many diverse points of view...
Jezebel, by Iron & Wine
who's seen jezebel?
she was born to be the woman i would know
and hold like the breeze
half as tight as both our eyes closed
who's seen jezebel?
she went walking where the cedars line the road
her blouse on the ground
where the dogs were hungry, roaming
saying, "wait, we swear
we'll love you more and holy
jezebel, it's we, we that you are for
only"
who's seen jezebel?
she was born to be the woman we could blame
make me a beast half as brave
i'd be the same
who's seen jezebel?
she was gone before i ever got to say
"lay here my love
you're the only shape i'll pray to, jezebel"
who's seen jezebel?
will the mountain last as long as i can wait
wait like the dawn
how it aches to meet the day
who's seen jezebel?
she was certainly the spark for all i've done
the window was wide
she could see the dogs come running
saying, "wait, we swear
we'll love you more and wholly
jezebel, it's we, we that you are for
only"
South 2nd, by Cocorosie
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
We don't need no baseball bats
We don't need no silver ghats
But we're gonna fight tonight
Put up your dukes and fight
Big brother's just standing on the side
Watching you flex your pride
But you know if they all jump in
Big brother's got your skin
The ice cream truck it sings no more
All the kids from school are keeping score
You swing and you duck and you hit the floor
But you gotta get up at least once more
Mama comes screaming down the stairs
Everybody looks but nobody scares
Mama can't believe that nobody cares
It's her baby boy how do they dare
Mama says bitch come over here
If you're so tough you'll have no fear
But why'd you bring your friends
And the whole damn school
To watch my baby boy go down like a fool
But brother says mama they're the same damn size
Got to let him grow up and get street wise
But mama says baby go get that bat
And come back down and beat some ass
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
One wrong move and it'll be too late
Mama won't be making no birthday cake
It all went down one afternoon

To Lose My Life, by White Lies
He said to lose my life or lose my love,
That's the nightmare I've been running from.
So let me hold you in my arms a while,
I was always careless as a child.
And there's a part of me that still believes,
My soul will soar above the trees.
But a desperate fear flows through my blood,
That our dead loves buried beneath the mud.
Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.
Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.
I said I've got no time I have to go,
And I was more right then now I'll ever know.
He said my heart is faint, will minds regret,
And left him crying next to the chapels steps.
Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.
Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.
He said…
Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.
Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.
He said…
He said to lose my life or lose my love,
That's the nightmare I've been running from.
So let me hold you in my arms a while,
I was careless as a child.
There's a part of me that still believes,
My soul will soar above the trees.
A desperate fear flows through my blood,
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud.
A desperate fear flows through my blood,
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud
