Emily Haines : What Is Free to a Good Home ?
歌词
1. ROWBOAT
I've been told I'm living a lie
I've been taught all my life
I haven’t got more than one dress mostly
I wear it out walking to work
Who else am I?
Getting it wrong almost every time
Where else, where else am I?
Living alone in my head
Rowboat left in the rain
Drifting out on the lake
Where could my one love be?
Oh rowboat left in the rain
Drifting by on the lake
Rescue my one love from the grave
2. THE BANK
Whatever it is spit it into a bottle and sell it to me
I’m looking to buy freedom from my sobriety
Just like Huey Lewis
I need a new drug
I need a new drink
I need a new drug that does what it should
So take me to the bank
Take me to the bar
Can you take me to the hot spot?
This is what we worked so hard to afford but...
Take me to the bank
Can you take me to the bar?
Can you take me to the hot spot?
This is what we worked so hard to afford but how I wanna hide
The next time you visit me here
How about coming out to my place
We can sit on the floor and play my brother’s records
We can sit on the grownup bed
Couple with the coin
Lighting up to join the coping crowd
My big brother said to stay unsatisfied
Never work a day to pay off your desire
Couple with the coin
Lighting up to join the coping crowd
3. TELETHON
When i'm on will you leave me on?
And when i'm down will you let me get older?
Take cover, can't hide without a house
Newspapers blow over
Can't walk past the driveway who asking for directions
So full of stupid questions
When the daylight's like flourescent lights
I'm going to take my time night by night
I hang my hands over your eyes tonight
When i'm on will you rescue me?
I want to watch that telethon
Got hung up on the work, can't get it over, soldier
She says nothing isn't much, she doesn't mean dont try to fix it
Make plans with your otherhand
Dream without concession
When the daylight's like flourescent lights
I'm going to take my time night by night
I hang my hands over your eyes to hide
Bruised Billy Joel new york state of mind
Take cover, take pleasure
4. BOTTOM OF THE WORLD
Is it true? You used to be my friend
What did I do? Why didn't I get into your cool crew?
You got a modern loft and a new tattoo of your own name
Got a single room overlooking the highway under microwave
For you
Heartbroken and
I've been for you
Is it true? You and the other girls
You all stood in a circle
Sophie left me in a bar at the bottom of the world
All followers put the word out around the room
I'm on my way out, always remember you to stay on the move
It's true
Heartbroken and
I've been for you
It's true
5. SPRIG
Fresh when sleeping meant every other night
Falling asleep for the fifth time
Early in the morning
Awake in terror, words staring back at him, never to be used
Their hands on hold
So quiet, they could hear eachother's thinking, denying
Garner interest, eachother's thinking, denying
Making of life, a forged painting
Life's big magnet tug, tugging
And listeners like you
6. MOSTLY WAVING (TODORK REMIX)
Young, thought as I was
Thought as I was
Thought as I was
Done, thought as I was
Thought as I was
Thought as I was
Get, get the line down
Get the line down
Get the line down
Don't elaborate like that
You frighten off the frat boys,
Use your baby talk.
Frighten off, frighten on
This fog, the blues are brown
So turn your horse around now
Blue's a brown
Missing and mostly waving
Thought as I was
Done, thought as I was
Young, thought as I was
