lyrics

Drifting past the windmills
Waiting for sunrise
I was so impressed by you
Always the first in line
Standing there just looking down
The way I always do when you’re around
Just waiting for the headlines now
They’re gonna spell
G-o-o-d-b-y-e

No one else could make you listen
How could I?
It only makes you worse the more I try
It’s a bad sign

And in the end it’s like they say, you know
Though no one’s told you
Hand on the door and looking forward to failure
And you were too

Sittin’ in the backyard
Hating the sunshine
I think that I’ll be leaving now
I’ve been having the worst time
Don’t wanna be where people are
Don’t wanna talk to anyone at all
'cause I’ve got nothing left to say
You’ve heard all of my best lines

You told me once that you would leave it all some day
But I knew you could never walk away
When the time came

And in the end it’s like they say, you know
Though no one’s told you
Hand on the door and looking forward to failure
And you were too

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems. Niek || Add To Wantlist
