John Craggie--Tumbling Dice

 

Mmm yeah! (Woo, woo)
Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me
Make me burn the candle right down
But, baby, baby, don't need no jewels in my crown
'Cause all you women is low down gamblers
Cheatin' like I don't know how
Baby, got no flavor, fever in the funk house now
This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin'
Don't you know you know the duece is still wild
Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumblin' dice
Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry
Don't you see the time flashin' by
Honey, got no money
I'm all sixes and sevens and nines
Say now baby, I'm the rank outsider
You can be my partner in crime
Baby, I can't stay
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin'
Roll me and call me the tumblin' dice
Now baby
Oh my, my, my, I'm the lone crap shooter
Playin' the field ev'ry night
Baby, I can't stay
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin' dice (Call me the tumblin')
Got to roll me (ya yes), got to roll me, got to roll me (Oh yeah)
Got to roll me
Got to roll me (yeah)
Got to roll me (Keep on rolling)
Got to roll me (Keep on rolling)
Got to roll me (Keep on rolling)
Got to roll me
Call me the tumblin' dice, yeah
Got to roll me
Got to roll me
Baby sweet as sugar (Got to roll me)
Yeah, my, my, my yeah (Got to roll me)
Now now now now (Got to roll me)
I went down baby, oh
Got to roll me (hit me)
Baby I'm down

Juarez--Sam Baker

 

Juarez

He wears a blue suede cowboy hat

Got a Juarez women stretched out on his lap

He sings an old song

A song to himself

He sings waiting 'round to die 

​

You see, one border whorehouse it looks just like another

But he first came to this one with his father and his brother

Now, nobody cares one way or another

He sings an old song

A song to himself

He sings waiting 'round to die 

​

Well there's a plump woman, she's attending bar

He holds hands with another plump woman named Starr

Lays a twenty on the table by the pigs feet jar

Sings an old song

Song to himself

He sings waiting 'round to die 

​

There's a beautiful woman

She wraps around his shoulder

Eyes painted like clay

Except colder

She says hell of a deal

ain’t it

Getting older

​

Waiting 'round to die

He sings waiting 'round to die

Waiting 'round to die

He sings waiting 'round to die

​

He thinks 

Who in the world would write a song like that

Then the two plump women

Start laughing at his hat

So he pulls another twenty out

Just like that

​

Sings an old song, song to himself

He sings waiting 'round to die

​

He wears a blue suede cowboy hat

Got a woman in her underwear sitting on his lap

He sings an old song

A song to himself

He sings waiting 'round to die 

He sings an old song

A song to himself

He sings waiting 'round to die

Metropol 47 - Mark Kozelek (Original)

 

Flash your smile and face at me
Open your eyes wide at me
Lay down every day with me
Until the long gone days

Speak a native tongue to me
Say some funny things to me
Roll around and laugh with me
Until the long gone days

Take me around the city streets
Find us pretty things to eat
Find us something good to drink
But buy me one more day

One more day to know this place
To kiss your sweet koala face
To love you deep into the night
To feel you underneath me

Metropol 47 (demo) - Mark Kozelek

 

Flash your smile and face at me
Open your eyes wide at me
Lay down every day with me
Until the long gone days

Speak a native tongue to me
Say some funny things to me
Roll around and laugh with me
Until the long gone days

Take me around the city streets
Find us pretty things to eat
Find us something good to drink
But buy me one more day

One more day to know this place
To kiss your sweet koala face
To love you deep into the night
To feel you underneath me

Falling in Love Again (feat. Alison Krauss)

 

Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
Can't help it

Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn, I know I'm not to blame

Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Fallin' in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
Can't help it

Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn, I know I'm not to blame

Fallin' in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn, I know I'm not to blame

Fallin' in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Damn, he was good.  

CHRIS ISAAK - EXCEPT THE NEW GIRL

Drive your mustang down, to where you hang out
Alone without a friend
Girls walk by you, some in fact have tried you
But once they tried they never tried again
Except the new girl
Except the new girl
Alone and lonesome, trusting no one they say
You've never had a friend
People talk about you, they say they doubt you really
Ever let anybody in
Except the new girl
Except the new girl
I guess there's never been anyone
Except the new girl
Except the new girl
Last time I saw him, he was laughing
She was standing by his side
I've got a feeling, that they're still together
From the look that was in his eyes
There's no one
Except the new girl
Except the new girl
See him smile, he don't care
Says he loves her, and he'll always love her
See him smile, it seems fair
That he finally found her, finally hold her
There's no one
Except the new girl

Damien Jurado--Kola

 

I look back upon my time
See the snapshots of my life
You will not be suprised
See your name across my smile
See your name across my smile
And I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
The way you are right now
The way you are right now
When I first came into view
I was older than you knew
Always going out of tune
Anytime you'd leave the room
Anytime you'd leave the room
And I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
The way you are right now
The way you are right now
And I look back upon my time
See the snapshots of my life
You will not be suprised
See your name across my smile
See your name across my smile
And I will reemmber you
I will remember you
I will remember you
The way you are right now
The way you are right now

Chris Staples “Dark Side of the Moon”

I want to tell you a story
The only way that I can
I'm just replacing a man that came before me
One day the world is going to see
Another man replacing me
That's just the way it's got to be
It's always been that way

On the dark side of the moon
On the dark side of the moon

I want to love you
I want to pass it on
I want to give and give until it's all gone
I want to know you
While we have the time
Because that's all I got to leave behind

I want to love you
I want to pass it on
I want to give and give until it's all gone
I want to know you
While we have the time
Because that's all we got to leave behind

On the dark side of the moon
On the dark side of the moon

And when you stumble
You look the other way
And when you're riding high
Oh Lord, when you're riding high
They don't expect you to stay

I want to love you
I want to pass it on
I want to give and give until it's all gone
I want to know you
While we have the time
Because that's all I got to leave behind

I want to love you
I want to pass it on
I want to give and give until it's all gone
I want to know you
While we have the time
Because that's all we got to leave behind

On the dark side of the moon
On the dark side of the moon

Chris Staples - "Hold onto Something"

 

Well I told you everything that I could tell
But I guess I got a couple of words
That I have to take with me to hell
What do you expect a man like me to do?
Got to hold onto something
If I can't hold on to you
Got to hold onto something
If I can't hold on to you
Got to hold onto something
If I can't hold on to you
Got to hold onto something
If I can't hold on to you
Somethings are made for breaking
Soon enough they're broke
Settling down into dust
Going up in smoke
Well what do you expect a man like me to do?
Got to hold onto something
If I can't hold on to you
Got to hold onto something
If I can't hold on to you
Got to hold onto something
If I can't hold on to you
Got to hold onto something
If I can't hold on to you
Got to hold onto something
If I can't hold on to you
Got to hold onto something
If I can't hold on to you
Got to hold onto something
If I can't hold on

Lhasa de Sela - Love Came Here

There is no end to this story
No final tragedy or glory
Love came here and never left
Now that my heart is open
It can't be closed or broken
Love came here and never left
Now I'll have to live with loving you forever
Although our days of living life together
Of living life together are over
There's nothing here to throw away
I came to you in light of day
And love came here and never left
And love came here and never left

Koop - Koop Island Blues

 

Hello, my love
It's getting cold on this island
I'm sad alone
I'm so sad on my own
The truth is
We were much too young
Now I'm looking for you
Or anyone like you
We said goodbye
With a smile on our faces
Now you're alone
You're so sad on your own
The truth is
We ran out of time
Now you're looking for me
Or anyone like me
Hello, my love
It's getting cold on this island
I'm sad alone
I'm so sad on my own
The truth is
We were much too young
Now I'm looking for you
Or anyone like you

First Aid Kit--A Long Time Ago

 This is for a girl I know. 

I fell in love with you
Long before I knew
What it meant to give everything up
I was a rolling stone
Rolling my way alone
Till you came and made sense out of everything
But you couldn't wait
I couldn't promise you anything
If it was all a mistake
Then I guess we're both to blame
I could have been
So many things
But it would never be enough for you
I was the one
You counted on
But I was never the one for you
Now I know, I lost you a long time ago
City of strangers
Out of danger
In your arms, I was half awake, half asleep
Grab ahold to what I got
Regretting all that I'm not
I couldn't be the one who'd stand by your side
If it was all a mistake
Then I guess we're both to blame
I could have been
So many things
But it would never be enough for you
I was the one
You counted on
But I was never the one for you
Now I know, I lost you a long time ago
I hold no grudges
I come bearing forgiveness
Only love, only love
Even if it's not enough
Only love, only love
Even if it's not enough
Now I know, I lost you a long time ago
I could have been
So many things
But it would never be enough for you
I was the one
You counted on
But I was never the one for you
Now I know, I lost you a long time ago

Damien Jurado - Percy Faith (Official Video)

Mr. Percy Faith, is your masterpiece complete?
I'm in dire need of curing this headache
There are riots in the streets and
We're still not on the moon
And I hear that you've been
Taken from the airwaves
Joseph Raymond Conniff, I am writing from Seattle
Where they now have put a trademark on the rain
And having just arrived I am staying by the airport
It was tough to find a room at the Hyatt Inn
Alice in disguises
Bill Close taken hostage
"Dear Loretta, these are my demands"
I'll be selling Arizona to the next potential buyer
Who comes in from the north in search of sand
Mr. Allan Sherman, I am writing from the future
Where the people never look you in the eye
And there is no need to talk, and the
Sidewalks they walk for you
I know everything and yet no one at all

Greens of June--case/lang/veirs

 

Just in the moment
Everything's changed
My dark disposition
Has been rearranged
And what was I thinking
Out there on the ledge?
Your steady eyes pull me
Straight back from the edge
And all the greens of June
Come blowing through the door
They make me want to live
Like I never have before
From the oriental rug
You meet my gaze
And all my desperation
Retreats into the haze
And lilacs in the vase
Still got the life
By their witnesses
Perfume and light
And all the greens of June
Come blowing through the door
They make me want to live
Like I never have before
Just in the moment
Everything's changed
My dark disposition
Has been rearranged
