Sleater-Kinney - The Woods (2005) by Sleater-Kinney (보컬) on maniadb.com

On the day the duck was born
The fox was watching all along
He said, "Land Ho!" when he saw the duck
"Land Ho!" and the duck saw him too

Shiny pretty fox thought the duck

The duck came up onto the land
The fox was watching, he just laughed

"I could show you some shiny tricks," he said
"Come along we'll get our kicks," he said
Land Ho! for shiny tricks
Land Ho! for me

Oh Fox! Is this love? Can you tell me? What is love?

That good looking fox only knew one trick
He could break hearts just lickety-split
The duck knew this game she had to quit
And her own pond she was headed to quick

I'll go
I'll go
And there's no looking back

Goodbye little fox
Goodbye my fox

Kenny and Linda on the way to Chelan
Transmission's shot, no back up plan
Will they hitch a ride?
Or get into a fight?

Moved to the West Coast, packed up their things
The winters are gray, now so are the dreams
They tried
To make it all right

All our little wishes have gone dry
Made it to the water, waded in the lies
When we felt the heat
Couldn't turn it into fire
Too caught up in our own desires

Said I do in the month of May
Said I don't the very next day
Will they try again?
Or is it doom for them?

Moved to a city where hippies run wild
Everything's white
Now so are the smiles
They tried to fight the good fight

All our little wishes have run dry
Made it to the water, waded in the lies
When we felt the heat
Couldn't turn it into fire
Too caught up in our own desires

We're spilt right in half
It's making me crazy
A two-headed brat
Tied to the other for life

It's a family feud
The red and the blue now
It's truth against truth
I'll see you in hell
I don't mind, I don't mind

All our little wishes have run dry
Made it to the water, waded in the lies
When we felt the heat
Couldn't turn it into fire
Too caught up in our own desires

Sit down, honey, let's kill some time
Rest your head on this heart of mine
Tell me, honey, 'cause you look so blue
Just how did they, did they get to you?

If it's all just a waste of time
I'm gonna spend it
Yours and mine

Someone's in the kitchen
Cooking hearts over the stove
Don't lie to me, never say goodbye to me
I don't want to be here alone

Someone's at the front door
Selling Band-Aids for our sores
You can bleed it as long as they don't see it
I'm not going to be ignored

Come on darling, let's hang around
Let's wreck their precious, their perfect town
If it's all a dirty shame
I'm gonna do it night and day

Someone's in the kitchen
Cooking herats over the stove
Don't lie to me, never say goodbye to me
I don't want to be here alone

Someone's at the front door
Selling Band-Aids for our sores
You can bleed it, as long as they don't see it
I'm not going to be ignored

Did you ever get the feeling
That you don't belong?
Said the teacher in the classroom,
"I think there's something wrong"

But your desks are too heavy
And your walls are too white
Your rules are all wrong
And it's either run or fight

But I'm still running
I'm still running

Sit down, honey, let's kill some time
Rest your head on this heart of mine
Come on darling, let's hang around
Let's wreck their precious, their perfect town

If it's all a waste of time
I'm gonna spend it
Yours and mine

I spend the afternoon in cars
I sit in traffic jams for hours
Don't push me
I am not OK

The sky is blue most every day
The lemons grow like tumors they
Are tiny suns infused with sour

Lonely as a cloud
In the Golden State
"The coldest winter that I ever saw
Was the summer that I spent..."

The only substance is the fog
And it hides all that has gone wrong
Can't see a thing
Inside the maze

There is a bridge adored and famed
The Golden spine of engineering
Who's back is heavy
With my weight

Be still this old heart
Be still this old skin
Drink your last drink
Sin your last sin
Sing your last song
About the beginning
Sing your song loud
So the people can hear
Let's Go
Be still this sad day
Be still this sad year
Hope your last hope
Fear you last fear
Your not the only one
Let's Go

My falling shape will draw a line
Between the blue of sea and sky
I'm not a bird
I'm not a plane

I took the taxi to the gate
I will not go to school again
Four seconds was
The longest wait

My baby loves me, I'm so happy
Happy makes me a modern girl
Took my money and bought a TV
TV brings me closer to the world

My whole life
Was like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life
Was like a picture of a sunny day

My baby loves me, I'm so hungry
Hunger makes me a modern girl
Took my money and bought a donut
The hole's the size of this entire world

My whole life
Looks like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life
Looked like a picture of a sunny day

My baby loves me, I'm so angry
Anger makes me a modern girl
Took my money, I couldn't buy nothin'
I'm sick of this brave new world

My whole life
Is like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life
Is like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life
Is like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life
Is like a picture of a sunny day

So you want to be entertained?
Please look away, don't look away
We're not here 'cause we want to entertain
Go away, don't go away

Reality is the new fiction they say
Truth is truer these days, truth is man-made
If you're here 'cause you want to be entertained
Go away, please go away

(Woah, oh, oh) Join the rank and file
(Woah, oh, oh) On your TV dial

You come around looking 1984
You're such a bore, 1984
Nostalgia, you're using it like a whore
It's better than before
It's better than before

You come around sounding 1972
You did nothing new with 1972
Where's the smile you?
Where's the black and blue
Where's the black and blue
Where's the black and blue

1,2,3!
Baby, I've had all my shots and I'm fine

1,2,3!
If you haven't had enough of me, get in line
1,2,3!
You too deserve it now, it's all right

1,2,3!
We can drown in mediocrity, it feels sublime
1,2,3!
It feels like someone pushed rewind

1,2,3!
Give it to me easily, my feeble mind needs time
1,2,3!
Make it sweet and syrupy with rhyme

Don't drag me down
I'm not falling down
Don't drag me down
I'm not falling down

(Woah, oh, oh) If your art is done

(Woah, oh, oh) The grip of fear
(Woah, oh, oh) Is already here
(Woah, oh, oh) The lines are drawn
(Woah, oh, oh) Whose side are you on?

Sweet like my tomato red cherry tomato
Down at the market pick out the ripe one
Tempting me sorely and I want to bite one
Wait, wait save it for later

We had a good time at the beginning
It tasted just like all the things I was missing
I'll go at full boil 'till you
St-, st-, st-, st-, stop me later

Stay and I will make you dinner
Taste each dish will be better
After the first bite, say it's delicious
But then appetite isn't what we'd predicted
Would you want to heat it up later?

We had a good time at the beginning
It tasted just like all the things I was missing
I'll go at full boil 'till you
St-, st-, st-, st-, stop me later

Rollercoaster
Want to go back to the way things were
I'm on a rollercoaster
Want to get back on the Tilt-a-Whirl

Rollercoaster
Want to go back to the way things were
I'm on a rollercoaster
Want to get back on the Tilt-a-Whirl

I'm dizzy and faithless, where is the ground?
You said this thing would not go upside down
Rollercoaster
Want to go back to the way things were, alright

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah

Sweet, your my tomato, red cherry tomato
I know that some of our days are bitter
Stay will me honey and things could get better
Wait, wait until later

We had a good time at the beginning
It tasted just like all the things I was missing
I'll go at full boil 'till you
St-, st-, st-, st-, stop me later

I'm tired of waiting on a ship that won't leave shore
I'm tired of waiting on a ship that won't leave shore
The water's bloody with the ones who came before
The water's bloody with the ones who came before

Hey, she made you say it, yeah they'll make you say it
Yeah, you know you said it alot
Hey, you never stay for, now you gotta pray for
Something better than what you've got

I'm tired of waiting on a plane that don't have wings
I'm tired of waiting on a plane that don't have wings
The runway's rotten with the dirt and weeds
The runway's rotten with the dirt and weeds

Hey, he made you say it, yeah they'll make you say it
Yeah, you know you sad it out loud
You never stay for, now you gotta pray for
Something better than what you've got

I booked my ticked
Packed my bags
Flight is leaving
Our time has passed

I'm tired of knocking on a door that just won't budge
Locked out of the engine
It's a wheel that you have spun
But who's to say I don't have wings
But who's to say I don't have wings

My dear, look at my face
I've been waiting for you in the same old place
I've got a long time for love

Jewels could spill from my cup
But it's all locked down and I'm all locked up
I've got a long time for love

A woman is not a girl
I could show you a thing or two
I've got a long time for love

Come on let's go to the mat
Hit the floor honey, let's battle it out
I've got a long time for love

Slow moves and dirty tricks
Want it like you never have
Timing and tiger strength
Strategy will put you past
Show me your darkest side
And you better be my bloody match

C'mon, let's play a game
It won't hurt, just say my name
I've got a long time for love

Roll the dice, take your card
Let's see if your number's up
I got a long time for love

Pony up and try and guess my hand
What have I learned from experience?
I've got a long time for love

Let's call it my royal flush
I can show you what to do with it
I've got a long time for love

Slow moves and dirty tricks
Want it like you never have
Timing and tiger strength
Strategy will put you past
Show me your darkest side
And you better be my bloody match
Let's call it love

It's such a long time
I've wasted such a long time
Been such a long time
I've wasted all my fucking time
All my life I've waited for a

Let's call it love
Let's call it love

It's such a long time
I've wasted such a long time
Been such a long time
I've wasted all my fucking time
All my life I've waited for a

Let's call it love
Let's call it love

My dear, look at my face
I've been waiting for you in the same old place
I've got a long time for love

My body is all shook up
Like a bottle of pop and I wanna go off
I've got a long time for love

Lock the door, lock it on up
I won't let you out until I've had enough
I've got a long time for love

One thing, one thing more
One thing more before you go
I've got a long time for love

Slow moves and dirty tricks
Want it like you never have
Timing and tiger strength
Strategy will put you past
Show me your darkest side
And you better be my bloody match

Oh little light
That shines for me in the dark of night
Oh little sigh
Sometimes I follow you all the way home

I would almost have to ask you
I hate to be led
So give me a spark I can look for instead

How do you do it?
This bitter and bloody world
Keep it together
And shine for your family

How do you do it?
With visions of worst to come
Live in the present
And spin off the rays of sun

Oh little beam
Splitting the fog and the dirt in between
Oh simplify
Like a problem you try to work out in your mind

I would almost have to ask you
It's clumsy when said
So give me a spark I can look for instead

How do you do it?
This bitter and bloody world
Keep it together
And shine for your family

How do you do it?
With visions of worst to come
Live in the present
And spin off the rays of sun
