The Butchies Album

this is nothing that you've ever felt before
the stage is for you the chance it swarms you
who wants it like it was before
who wants it
like Traffic
like Zeppelin
next to Sheila
she's a giant
towering in blue jeans
and your heart is pounding
you want it
like it was before
1974
hey sweet lady hey sweet lady
where's your tricks tonight
yeah sweet lady yeah sweet lady
am I it tonight
this is sorrow and this is acrobats
her meaningless surrounds her
her magnitude has found her
who are you tryin' to get back
you're livin' in '84
such a bore
let's burn it to the floor
hey sweet lady hey sweet lady
where's the tricks tonight
yeah sweet lady yeah sweet lady
am I it tonight?
yeah lady am I it tonight
at the bus stop
neon tube socks
forgot to wear a top

forget your calculus
who will forget us
maybe everything here's meant to last
bones and articles of clothing pass
buried underneath the lime and grass
directions south or north
my compass broke from course
bury underneath the lime and dirt
fools know more than gold
it's written fools
you wanted it you got it yeah what is the world to you
what is the world to you
treasures and ooooolllld rocks
what will we leave behind
who will remember us?
they say it's fate the archeology of lives

this world's my place this world is not mine
it's such an awful place pass 1999 wish everything
crashed crashing out the lights
come around the women being killed the women
being lost percentages say what's true it's
false don't you see what's going on
the safest place is underneath the earth under space
and matter I'm trying to go home take the
aliens home how'd we end up here anyway
my only mother what would you say
they're killing everything today
they're killing souls and safety
they're killing sanity
my only mother what would you say
2 years up in a tree and it's hard to come down
in the land of the free in the land of the free
Julia what did they steal?
sickness in health hell on the earth
earth in all its wonder wonder
insolence to blame my only other

the cruelest of failures he was a good sailor
ran out past the main deck jumped into the ocean
he was only 18 goodbye raging sea
makes a good man think what a good man made
maybe when you're gone you'll know why you left
head insists on fair whether (weather) storm or calm
in the eyes of the world you'd be better of dead
may you bleed pouring sand shame out your pores
Sarah what did you want to huh huh hear
what did you want to
she made while in living the only true giving
she had no idea she had no one left
with the sinking sun she felt her soul leave
shelter the day seize (seas)
Sarah what did you want to huh huh hear

she said lonely rents videos
hand it over love your radio
maybe it's fine for you to drown
disquiet
I'm not the only one
who sits outside the sun
action action passive activism
action action take 2000 & 10
nuh-uh (always on a fuckin' message board) inside your head
yeah water instead
I'm not the only one
who sits outside the sun
save yourself sell yourself, not no one else
what's the matter with mergers baby
freedom is not anarchy
fuel your fire pretty pinksters
get un-lonely
I'm not the only one who sits outside your son

she walks away from me my said misery
her eyes her eyes are not like mine
in lies the hardest truth 30 days and nothing nothing
nothing
her jawline her jawline is not like mine
go alone go alone go alone go alone go alone
go alone go alone go alone go alone go alone
go alone go alone go alone go alone go alone
go alone go alone go alone go alone go alone
alone alone

the light was empty my hands were still when I heard the news
I already knew you already told me waves goodbye
I'm not saying the end it's going around you
Mandy you are here with me now
Mandy never far from me
desperate raiding cupboards mixing gin and vodka
I honestly believe you kept me away from harm I was seeking
see you made me safely
I'm at ease
I know you are
running
sweetness
I miss you
I miss you
and once upon a time a 10 year old girl
and Mandy you picked me
you picked me
goodbye
I'll see you when I see you when I see you again

The wedding was a disaster
the phone rang all night long
she walks to a cab 7th avenue
thought spirits were telling her
this awful exists here but not
where we're taking you
could someone tell me anything about the woman who took me in
the saddest thing I've ever seen the world came crashing down
hurry central parker blades
on a dismal day when the lightening came
she was struck with the notion of release
she was taken by majesty no one's ever seen
could someone tell me anything about the woman who took me in
could someone tell me something please
about the lady who labored me
the saddest thing I've ever seen the world came crashing down
when the men come to take me home it won't matter
I've become just a shelter for the storm matter
I am part of the rain and mud it don't matter

it was not so immediate but she could feel the warmth
of the blood moving in from somewhere above
behind the football stadium and the bright lights dimmed
another fight is gonna land her back in hell again
time such a beautiful lie
find me a beautiful lie
all her friends gathered round as all her enemies ran
they told her You look like a Boy (deliver the savior girl)
12 years old will she look to the sky to sees the stars spinning
circles
and the moon falling towards her
time such a beautiful lie
find me a beautiful lie

cry the river it's for you for you for you for you for you
it's the devil in their souls
(that brings them to commit these crimes)
it's not about me it's not about me
but I've seen the way she looks
