Weak Spot

I have this documented weak spot for the ladies who can sing. Somehow this song reminds me of the high ideals I had while going to college. Everything was so black and white then. Right and wrong never blurred any lines. There was less to loose. We are all trying to for the right kind of life....




Title: coming in from the cold
Artist: The Delgados

Step inside
A better dream job you could never find
A set of keys and bottles heaven wide
Find yourself a seat and settle in for the ride

Raise your glass
We’re going to drink now till the summer’s past
So bring the hats out we all need a laugh
And let the neighbours talk then make sure you lose them
We can

Try for the right kind of life
I only wish that you’d had a chance to decide
Have a look around you there’s no-one there
How can you call this fair

Not to blame
No-one’s telling you you’re not to blame
Things around they just don’t feel the same
And I don’t recognize this person that still remains

Settle down
I really hope that you can settle down
Take your tent and trailer out of town
We’ll find a place to roam where you could escape to
We can

Try for the right kind of life
I only wish that you’d had a chance to decide
Have a look around you there’s no-one there
How can you call this fair

Everybody’s waiting for the big surprise
But nobody will notice when it does arrive
So send it on

Try for the right kind of life
I only wish that you’d had a chance to decide
Have a look around you there’s no-one there
How can you call this fair

We’re coming in from the cold
And everybody’s searching for someone to hold
Have a look around you there’s no-one there
How can you call this fair

Sickeningly Good

Hitchcock Meets Wilco

Hitchcock Meets Wilco

[via FoxyTunes / Wilco]



I have to apologize for the delay. Sorry. To make up for it I have included one of my all time favorites. Quite possibly the best love song ever. In preparation for Valentines day... Love song's, On Fire...right here at Song-a-torium.






Jesus, Etc.
Wilco
Jesus, don't cry
you can rely on me honey
you can combine anything you want
I'll be around
you were right about the stars
each one is a setting sun

tall buildings shake
voices escape singing sad sad songs
tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
bitter melodies turning your orbit around

don't cry
you can rely on me honey
you can come by any time you want
I'll be around
you were right about the stars
each one is a setting sun

tall buildings shake
voices escape singing sad sad songs
tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
bitter melodies turning your orbit around

voices whine
skyscrapers are scraping, your gravelly voice
is smoking
my cigarettes are all you can get
turning your orbit around

our love
our love
our love is all we have
our love
our love is all of God's money
everyone is a burning sun

tall buildings shake
voices escape singing sad sad songs
tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
bitter melodies turning your orbit around

voices whine
skyscrapers are scraping, your gravelly voice
is smoking
last cigarettes are all you can get
turning your orbit around
last cigarettes are all you can get
turning your orbit around
last cigarettes are all you can get
turning your orbit around
