Lola Albright - How High the Moon

 

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's music
It's where you are
Somewhere there's heaven
How near, how far
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
'How high the moon'
Is the name of the song
How high the moon
Though the words may be wrong
We're singing it because you ask for it
So we're singing it just for you
How high the moon
Does it touch the stars
How high the moon
Does it reach out to Mars
Though the words may be wrong to the song
We're asking a high, high, high, high
High is the moon
Though the words may be wrong to the song
We're ought to make high, high, high, high
High is the moon

Lola Albright - I've Got a Crush on You

 

How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never never know
It's not that you're attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage that we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush, my baby on you

A Chance Counsel · Richard Buckner

 

Another washout, brake lights showing
Probably gonna slow down, no way of knowing
Let's hear the outline
I see where it's going
I know where it came from
A bubble in the moment

Someone'll find out
Finishing the time
Crashing around
And one night you'll try it
Is something at stake?

Seen off safely, but I could've used
A chance at maybe, a time or two
One for the distance
And speaking of the roar
Stopping just to listen
At her number on the door

Isn't something calling
Coming as you go?
Never and always
And missing the throw?
With hours on the fade

It wasn't where you found it
Returning late again
Waking dressed from before
In some week-long bed
Leave it all still made

Fall to a weak floor
And let it lay
Think of somebody
Too far away
Get something easy
Lost in the fuel?
Come back tomorrow
With a new excuse

Sparklers are passing
To the corners of the night
"I feel the heat, and they move on glowing
But I can pull away"

No More Parades · Son Volt

 

Don't know if your carin' truth is worth tearin'
Though we're miles apart
Front door leavin's the way I've been feelin'
Twenty days overboard

That's the way the hinge turns, just half way round
Believe it all first, finally flickers out
No mood anymore, hold up, hammer down the stake
No more parades

Got to know a friend with a think tank
And a farm and you couldn't ask for better
Works on dreams inside of her schemes
Lives like the words in a song

That's the way the hinge turns, just half way round
Believe it all first, finally flickers out
No mood anymore, hold up, hammer down the stake
No more parades

A pesticide moon hangs cold coffee
And tears flowin' out of the brain
Shoulda caught the bus, shoulda pulled in line
Shoulda made up for that down time

That's the way the hinge turns, just half way round
Believe it all first, finally flickers out
No mood anymore, hold up, hammer down the stake
No more parades

Wakin On A Pretty Day · Kurt Vile

 

Wakin' in the dawn of day
I gotta think about what I wanna say
Phone ringing off the shelf
I guess it wanted to kill himself
Wakin' on a pretty day
Don't know why I ever go away
It's hard to explain
My love, in this daze
You can say I've been most all around
But honey I ain't goin' nowhere
Don't worry 'bout a thing
It's only dying
I live along a straight line
Nothing always comes to mind
To be frank, I'm fried
But I don't mind
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Been diggin'
Layin' low, low, low
I'm diggin'
Layin' low, low, low
Dig, dig in...
To these lives that we are living
Living low, lackadaisically so
Risin' at the crack of dawn
I gotta think about what wisecrack
I'm gonna drop along the way today
Phone ringing off the shelf
I guess somebody got something they
Really wanna prove to us today
Yeah, I'm waking on a pretty day
Floating in place
No use sayin' nothin'
To explain it to my loved ones...
Today
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Playboy's Penthouse Season 1 Episode 1

 

Portastatic - Truckstop Cassettes

Shot from the green cannon of late spring
The map on your lap unfolding
Some states don't rate even a blur
Toothpaste across your reflection in muddy water

We had truckstop cassettes of Isaac Hayes and Patsy Cline
Sang "Strange" in the desert every night at nine
Purple light on your face in the canyon at dusk
I thought I might as well go blind
I thought I might as well go blind

But I thought my eyes had seen it all
I thought my eyes had seen it all
There may lie beauty up ahead that our language can't capture it all
But I thought my eyes had seen it all

Slept all night in the dry scrub
You crawled from the thicket with a new love
Sleep in our eyes and I pulled a bug off your back
You said "Leave me alone, just let nature attack us"

We had truckstop cassettes of Smokey Robinson and Kinks
The tape hit the player just as we hit "Cruiser's Creek"
Our time was turning dusty yellow but the sun on your forehead shone pink
I thought the worst was over, just goes to show I shouldn't think


But I thought my eyes had seen it all
I thought my eyes had seen it all
There may be desolation down the road and just down this hall but
I thought my eyes had seen it all

The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me
The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me
The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me

I promised you at best
A sparkling mirage at worst
A sea to another shining sea
The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me

Ravens & Crows - Dehlia Low

 

When I went to show my color
I carried a heavy load
And when I cried to my mother
She said it's all just ravens and crows
Baby, it's all just ravens and crows

When I saw that ringing hammer
Well it did not shine like gold
Whether it's coal, rock or steel it doesn't matter
It's all just ravens and crows
Hey, hey it's all just ravens and crows

Now the sands from the storms are uniting
At the angle of repose
Them boys put down their guns and quit fighting
Cause it's all just ravens and crows
Brother it's all just ravens and crows

It's a red, red wine in the pulpit
Corn whiskey when I'm low
Well it's just water when I'm hard up lord
And it's all just ravens and crows
Darlin' it's all just ravens and crows

Eleni Mandell - Dreamboat

 

Dreamboat, out to sea
Land lovers, he's leaving me
Someday when the sky lies awake
We'll be together in the city again

Dreamboat, sailing away
Land lovers, hopeless and gray
Someday when the tide is low
You and me, baby
We'll rock back and forth on the waves

Hang on tight
There's trouble below
The blackest blue
We're going to go

To the bottom
Of water so sorry I cried
Looking back up
Are we ocean or sky?

Dreamboat, motoring slow
Land lovers, wave from the shore
Someday when the mountains escape
Swimming for living, we'll drown in our fate

Hang on tight
There's trouble below
The blackest blue
We're going to go

To the bottom
Of water so sorry I cried
Looking back up
Are we ocean or sky?

Dreamboat

Nouvelle Vague - The Killing Moon (Full Track)

 

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
You must wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
You must wait until
You give yourself to him
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
You must wait until
You give yourself to him

Drive That Devil Out · Rod Picott and Amanda Shires

 

Lua - Conor Oberst and Gillian Welch

 

I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
I keep waving at the taxis; they keep turning their
Lights off
But Julie knows a party at some actor's west side loft
Supplies are endless in the evening; by the morning
They'll be gone.
When everything gets lonely I can be my own best friend
I'll grab a coffee and the paper; have my own
Conversations
With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window
Reflection
The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks
Like shit.
I know you have a heavy heart; I can feel it when we
Kiss
So many men much stronger than me have thrown their
Backs out trying to lift it
But me I'm not gamble you can count on me to split
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning
Won't exist.
You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all
Painted black
You just keep going to the bathroom always say you'll
Be right back
Well it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got
It bad
But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning is
Such a drag.
I've got a flask inside my pocket we can share it on
The train
If you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the
Same
We might die from medication, but we sure killed all
The pain
But what was normally in the evening, by the morning
Seems insane.
And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all
Of this
The reasons have run away but the feeling never did
It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way
To live
Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning
Never is
What's so simple in the moonlight, by the morning is so
Complicated.
What's so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the
Moonlight

Gregory Alan Isakov - San Luis

 

Weightlessness, no gravity
Were we somewhere in-between?
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's eye view of San Luis
Oh, highway boys all sleeping in
With their dirty mouths and broken strings
Oh, their eyes are shining like the sea
For you, the queen of San Luis
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's eye view of San Luis
Cutting through the avenues
I'd always find my way to you
Beside the hook, the hammer lies
Fumbling round in the smoke
Spending time chasing ghosts
Hold me down, hold me down, child
Hold me down, hold me down, child
California called you queen
With your golden hair and magazine
Were you somewhere in-between?
Fast asleep, a flying dream
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's eye view of San Luis
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's eye view of San Luis
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's eye view of San Luis
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's eye view of San Luis

Nicolai Dunger : "Dr. Zhivago's Train"

 

Hold on, when the train is moving
through the sound of change
And tell those boys back in town
that there will be a call
Oooo train is comin' on
Oooo train is comin' on
A train is comin' your way
and it sounds like,
just like a chase straight through the season
or why not through your heart
It makes us see the strengh that surrounds us in all
our failures
Just like the train in the film Doctor Zhivago
Oooo train is comin' on
Oooo train is comin' on
A train is comin' your way
and it sounds like,
just like a chade straight through the season
And without a reason, it just blows away
'cause you like the sound of it
It sounds like this....

I Explain Things

 

A secret treat for those who peruse the station 😀.

Kathleen Edwards - Only Love

 

When you were young
And on your own
How did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking of games
That I was playing
Trying to make the best of my time
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?
I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see
If he can come out
Try to lose the down that he's found
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?
I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart

Wonderful · Josh Rouse

 

Oftentimes I sit and wonder
As I gaze out over yonder
I'm so crazy about you
So crazy and it's true
I think you're wonderful
Don't change
I think you're wonderful
Don't change your way
I think you're wonderful
Don't change your way at all
It is the morning, love, you have found me
Reading the paper with my coffee
And before you must go
There's one thing you should know
I think you're wonderful
Don't change
I think you're wonderful
I think you're wonderful
I think you're wonderful
Don't change at all
At all
At all

Cande y Paulo - The Thrill Is Gone

 

Various Stages · Great Lake Swimmers

 

I have seen you in various stages of undress
I have seen you through various states of madness
I have seen your refractions and I did not recognize you
I have seen you in various states of madness

How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?
How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?

I am sorry I had nothing left for you
My mind was willing and my spirit was strong
My lips were tired and tightened from singing along
My eyelids are heavy as anchors thrown over

How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?
How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?

I have seen you in the eyes of a hundred thousand other stranger faces
I have seen you in unlikely and unfamiliar places
I have seen you be reckless in matters of love
I have seen by degrees the boiling point come and go

How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?
How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?
What lies at the end of this long and dark and twisted road?
How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?

Happy When I'm Gone · Sera Cahoone

 

All I have from it now is a waste of time
Pull those shades down tight
She’s got more than I ever had

All there is from it now, she’s got more than I ever had
And I know you’ll be happy when I’m gone
‘Cause your life is just one regret
Shiverin’, shake up all night, you said
I’m already over my head

Oh this drive’s taking me hours, she’s got more than I ever had
And I know you’ll be happy when I’m gone
‘Cause your life is just one regret
Shivеrin’, shake up all night, but you ain’t seen nothing yet
I’m already ovеr my head

For Shame of Doing Wrong · Ida

 

It seems like a lifetime since I saw you
Lover lover I've been away too long
When I see lovers holding hands and sighing
I hang my head for shame of doing wrong

Bus wheels spinning, song birds singing break my heart
Take me back to old remembered days
Remind me of the times we spent together
Times before we went our separate ways

I wish I was a fool for you again
I wish I was a fool for you again
I wish I was a fool for you again

I'm sorry for the things I've said, the things I've done
I'm sorry for the restless thief I've been
Please don't make me pay for my deceiving heart
Just turn up your lamp and let me in

I wish I was a fool for you again
I wish I was a fool for you again
I wish I was a fool for you again
I wish I was a fool for you again
I wish I was a fool for you again
I wish I was a fool for you again
I wish I was a fool for you again
I wish I was a fool for you again
I wish I was a fool for you again
I wish I was a fool for you again
I wish I was a fool for you again
