lizish Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 that time Crooked Fingers played the living room and had to ask Bachman what the name of the last song was Eric Bachman - Masters of the Deal At the scene Of the slow crime Of the century Wanda Jean awoke Attached to two IVs Lost her name In a shell game To the masters of the deal For the sanctioned closure And the governor's seal By the trains On the east side Near an oil refinery Marvin Lee took hold Of a snitch and let him bleed So betrayed In a shell game Where the jury all agreed Marvin Lee's a ghost Attached to two IVs So what if they're wrong? So what if they're right? Let Lenny live? Or let Lenny die? What should be an old relic by now Should never have been From a tree By a small stream In a trifling Texas town [?] When they shot poor Johnny down Duly framed In a shell game So the truth was not revealed For the sake of closure For the masters of the deal So what if they're wrong? So what if they're right? Let Lenny live? Would you let Lenny die? What should be an old relic by now Should never have been The South is a ghost A ghost is a lie Harassing the roads And haunting the pines His mind may be slow But that killer knows Just how you feel How you feel Just how you feel (At the scene Of the slow crime Of the century) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
timbits Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 It's been a long dark night And I've been waiting for the morning It's been a long hard fight But I see a brand new day dawning I've been looking for the sunshine You know I ain't seen it in so long Oh, and everything's gonna work out just fine Everything's gonna be all right That's been all wrong 'Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning I can see the light of a brand new day I can see the light of a clear blue morning Oh, and everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be okay It's been a long long time Since I've known the taste of freedom And those clinging vines That had me bound, well, I don't need 'em I've been like a captured eagle You know an eagle is born to fly Now that I have won my freedom Like an eagle, I am eager for the sky And I can see the light of a clear blue morning I can see the light of a brand new day I can see the light of a clear blue morning Oh, and everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be okay I can see the light of a clear blue morning I can see the light of a clear blue morning I can see the light of a clear blue morning Oh, and everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be okay I can see the light of a clear blue morning I can see the light of a brand new day I can see the light of a clear blue morning Oh, and everything's gonna be all right Everything's gonna be all right Everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be okay 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Good choice, Timmy! I'm such a huge fan of Katie's gorgeous voice. Got to see her live in L.A. and Pioneertown in September, and she closed both shows with Clear Blue Morning. It sounded amazing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lizish Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Bella White - Just Like Leaving JUST LIKE LEAVING The lights pouring through my window dressing everything all up in gold and I don’t know what I’m doing here. I left the howling winds and the prairies to find some kind of idea, am I full or am I empty? Maybe I just like hurting, building up walls and then ripping them down with my own disposition. My own hurting masks the way I feel about the world and all the little things I wish were different And I’ve been grieving since I left old Carolina. The bars on my window didn’t leave me safe at night. Now i’ve chased your love cause I thought it might feel woolen. Like a dram on a damn cold winters night. Some things they just like leaving, like people love and money and I don’t know what it’s all running from. Perhaps the fear of splitting open, showing some parts of yourself that you don’t even really want to know. And I’ve been grieving since I left old Carolina. The bars on my window didn’t leave me safe at night. Now I’ve chased your love cause I thought it might feel woolen. Like a dram on a damn cold winters night. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lizish Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Fenne Lily - Half Finished On the train home from two days away from you I play the start of your half-finished song I try figuring out what you're singing about I hope it's not something I've done Watching the world outside moving too fast Makes me wonder if we are as well I told you I love you and mean it completely I just can't say the same to myself I have insomnia, you have a job that you hate Four to five days a week You're gone when I wake up at midday to bright light That tells me I'm lazy and weak You ask me if I could change one thing about myself What would it be, and why? I tell you I don't know, but sometimes I can't help But picture a whole different life We miss every sunset we set out to see Under birds flying South from the cold They make it look easy to move with the seasons But change isn't easy to hold If you get the feeling like this ain't worth keeping I'll never stand in your way Thank you for leaving a space without speaking Sometimes, there's just nothing to say He's got tickets to see a band no one knows She's got my name on a shirt that she's never worn, and won't They've got a fear of things changing, but I don't mind I made no promises that I would stay, but I'll try He's got tickets to see a band no one knows She's got my name on a shirt that she's never worn, and won't They've got a fear of things changing, but I don't mind You made no promises that you would stay, but you tried He's got tickets to see a band no one knows She's got my name on a shirt that she's never worn, and won't They've got a fear of things changing, but I don't mind I made no promises that I would stay, but I'll try 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
