일레트로닉 포스트 록 밴드 라이카가 2003년에 내놓았던 작품. 발매되자마자 전과 마찬가지로 평단과 팬들로부터 높은 평점을 획득하였다. 앨범에서 라이카는 사운드의 확충보다는 내실에 더욱 초점을 맞추며 한층 집중력이 높아진 구성의 미학을 일궈냈다. 바로 본 음반이 2집과 함께 그룹의 양대 명반으로 손꼽히는 이유이다. 'Girl Without Hands', 'Barefoot Blues', 'Diamonds & Stones' 등의 탁월한 트랙들을 이를 금세 파악할 수 있다. .... ....
They're moving out boxes Piled in the hall Birthday gifts and houses Redirect them all I need you like water I love you like air But I am the girl in ill-fitting underwear
Walk into nighttime No more than a name Baggage and raindrops Feeding the flames Like footprints in fresh snow I'm easy to see
Seemingly hoping For moss to grow on me Watching and willing at you Intoxicating Injury as something to do All reciprocating
Still in the same skin All the old clothes Nothing changing Nothing to know A point in the distance A drop of a man Bet double or nothing And never understand
Watching and willing at you Intoxicating Injury as something to do All reciprocating
Silence please now I don't want a word Got deep in trouble And my hands got burnt
Ain't nobody love me That's how I got here With pockets full of nothing And a head full of fear
You broke a heart a many a time But you'll never break this heart of mine You broke a heart a many a time But you'll never break this heart of mine
I'm a fish outta water A soup in a basket Gotta get to where I'm going But don't know how to ask it
Believed in a young man That's where I went wrong And now I'm in the gutter And I ain't got long
He was a callous boy That much I could see But the heart's a crazy fool When it wants to believe It loses all directions Forgets how to drive That honey saw me coming And skinned me alive
You broke a heart a many a time But you'll never break this heart of mine You broke a heart a many a time But you'll never break this heart of mine
You broke a heart a many a time But you'll never break this heart of mine You broke a heart a many a time But you'll never break this heart of mine
Let me out I'm a cloud I can't live here anymore Turn the sky inside out I can't live here anymore Fish for nails in a drought I can't live here anymore Always ash in my mouth I can't live here anymore
I can't live here anymore I can't live here anymore I can't live here anymore I can't live here anymore
I can't live here anymore I can't live here anymore I can't live here anymore I can't live here anymore
We talked like giddy schoolgirls It seemed we turned a corner I remember smiling It was a piecemeal resolution With only best intentions And i'm going frustrations Words designed to pacify It helps the sun is shining
And on and on and on and on and oh And on and on and on and on and oh And on and on and on and on and oh And on and on and on and on and oh
You're feeling so much better And how you're looking well With only best intentions Imperfect recollections With eyes as big as headlights I remember smiling Words designed to justify It helps the sun is shining
And on and on and on and on and oh And on and on and on and on and oh And on and on and on and on and oh And on and on and on and on and oh
We'll talk and we will whisper But touch me and you'll burn Girls as sweet as sweet can be I remember smiling With only best intentions And on going frustrations Words designed to crucify It helps the sun is shining
And on and on and on and on and oh And on and on and on and on and oh And on and on and on and on and oh And on and on and on and on and oh
Wind blown A lazy sway Creeping like fire From a slow spark
Birds without wings Out of the dust of dreams Head out to sea Seeking the stars
Nothing can wake Nothing will break His host Of teasing fancies
With aches and fears Sighs and tears We roll like water Caught in a stream
A pilot on the wing A weary thing Feeding my soul And reading my mind We can be hurt A piece at a time As the curtains of night Draw back with the light
