So now you know the news is bad
The needle drops, the song is sad
As everyone I ever had
Comes back to taunt me
I never thought the day would come
You can't take back the things you've done
It's funny how you just go numb
And flaunt your misery
I feel a lot like a sailor coming back home
After years out at sea
I recognize all their faces, lined and old
They don't know me
Although nothing's changed
It just seems so strange
They're still dreaming of me
No second chance or anything
No song is left for us to sing
Since everything just turned to black
And swept away the scenery
I feel a lot like a sailor coming back home
After years out at sea
I lie awake in my bed every night alone
In the morning
Although nothing's changed
It just seems so strange
They're still dreaming of me
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
