Skeleton Tree

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree





Sunday morning, skeleton tree
Oh, nothing is for free
In the window, a candle
Well, maybe you can see
Fallen leaves thrown across the sky
A jittery TV
Glowing white like fire
Nothing is for free
I called out, I called out
Right across the sea
But the echo comes back in, dear
And nothing is for free

Sunday morning, skeleton tree
Pressed against the sky
The jittery TV
Glowing white like fire
And I called out, I called out
Right across the sea
I called out, I called out
That nothing is for free

And it's alright now
And it's alright now
And it's alright now

All my life I've been a lonely man
Looking for love all over this land
Found a fine love about a year ago
With a check-out girl at a grocerystore

She was looking for a millionaire
And I was looking at her derrière
I was playing the blues in a popy band
She said: That's allright
Just gimme what you got
Just gimme what you got


Well you like your cookies and you like your pies
I like big boobies and big fat thighs
You can't cook and you can't sew
And there's a whole lot of other stuff that you don't know

Just write your number on the palm of my hand
Sweet little lady, I'm a full-grown man
I'm ready to rock, ready to roll
Don't worry 'bout a thing girl
Just gimme what you got
Just gimme what you got.

You can do a lot for me
And I can do a whole lot for you
You know, love is more than just a word
Love is the only thing we know is true

What do you mean 'you want to take it slow'
I'm allready pumpin', ready to go
Can't you see I'm serious
'Cause we don't walk, we ride the bus

Together we can make it, we can go far
And one day we'll buy our very own car
But the very best things in life are free
So don't worry 'bout a thing girl
Just gimme what you got
Just gimme what you got

Love oh love
oh careless love
love oh love love love love
oh careless love

You make me
you make me weep
And you make me
you make me moan

you make me leave
my happy home

Don't you never
drive a stranger
from your door

don't you never
don't you never never never
drive a stranger from your door

It may be your sister
or your brother
you'll never know
don't you never drive a stranger
from your door

Careless love
you drove me
through the rain and snow
careless love
you drove me, you drove me
through the wind and snow

You robbed me
out of my silver
and you robbed me
out of my gold
I'll be damned
if I let you
rob me out of my soul

Melody Gardot - If Ever I Recall Your Face

Melody Gardot - If Ever I Recall Your Face



Forget all that's said and done
when your heart's a lonely one
and see my dear that heaven is a place
whenever I recall your face


Life can be so lucky now
some may win and others don't know how
but I could drop my losing hand with grace
whenever I recall your face

While leaving town you leave behind
the ones you love for who you find
but love no other arms could take your place
whenever I recall your face


In the oceans of your eyes
lies a look I recognize
a glance that leaves me dancing polonaise
whenever I recall your
If ever I recall your face

James Blunt - breathe





Take this bloody war of mine away
I'm lost for words to say
Will they greet me at dawn

Take these muddy thoughts that are my walls
I'm not ready for the call
That will greet me at dawn

I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what i don't need
It's nice to watch somebody breathe

Well now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company

And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
And I thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me
Won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

Race me to the horror at the end
I've lost myself again
In the mirror of my past

Let me, let me scratch at my own skin
I'm dying to get in
To the mirror of my past

I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what I don't need
It's nice to watch somebody breathe


Well now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company


And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
And I'll thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch

When you say that you're in love with me

Won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

And won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own


Well now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company

And I sat here for eternity
No Wife and no family
And I'll thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me

And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Been wasting time like it just
Doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company

Won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

And won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own


The Antlers - Palace

The Antlers - Palace Lyrics






You were simpler
you were lighter when we thought like little kids
Like a weightless, hate-less animal
beautifully oblivious before you were hid inside a stranger you grew into
as you learned to disconnect

Now he hangs your mirrors separately
so one can’t show you what the other reflects

When he heard I was on his tail, he emptied your account and hid a part of you that’s so invaluable
the part of you unsellable at any amount
He left the tallest peak of your paradise
buried in the bottom of a canyon in hell

but I swear I’ll find your light in the middle
where there’s so little late at night, down in the pit of the well


Then when heaven has a line around the corner
we shouldn’t have to wait around and hope to get in
if we can carpenter a home in our heart right now
and carve a palace from within

We won’t need to take a ton of pictures
It won’t be easy to believe
the day we wake inside a secret place that everyone can see

Sweet-faced ones with nothing left inside
That we all can love, that we all can love, that we all can
Sweet-faced ones with nothing left inside
That we all can love, that we all can love, that we all can

When I see you messing me around
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want to
Did I see you messing me around
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want

Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain

Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts

Pieces of a wreck of mankind
That you can’t create, that you can’t create, that you can’t
Pieces of a wreck of mankind
That you can’t create, that you can’t create, that you can’t

When I see you messing me around
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want to
When I see you searching me around
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want

Went down to Tin Pan Alley
See what was going on
Things was too hot down there
Couldn't stay very long
Hey hey hey hey, Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I heard a woman scream
Yeah and I peeped through the door
Some cat was workin' on Annie with a
Lord with a two-by-four
Hey hey hey hey, Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin


I heard a pistol shoot
Yeah and it was a .44
Somebody killed a crap shooter cause he didn't
Shake, rattle, and roll
Hey hey hey hey, Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Killin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I saw a cop standing
With his hand on his gun
He said "this is a raid, boy

Nobody run"
Hey hey hey hey, Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
Yeah they took me away from Alley
Lord they took me right back to the pen
