DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE LYRICS - A Lack Of Color

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE LYRICS



"A Lack Of Color"






And when I see you

I really see you upside down

But my brain knows better

It picks you up and turns you around

Turns you around, turns you around



If you feel discouraged

That there's a lack of color here

Please don't worry lover

It's really bursting at the seams

For absorbing everything

The spectrum's a to z



This is fact not fiction

For the first time in years

All the girls in every girlie magazine

Can't make me feel any less alone

I'm reaching for the phone



To call at 7:03 (and) on your machine

I slur a plea for you to come home

But I know it's too late

I should have given you a reason to stay

Given you a reason to stay [x3]



This is fact not fiction

For the first time in years

ANTI-HEROS LYRICS - The Herbert Moonstomp

ANTI-HEROS LYRICS



"The Herbert Moonstomp"






Right around the corner, up the street from Harry May

There's a little house of horror where all the herberts stay

Polish on their sneakers, dax slime in their hair,

Always acting crazy, but fuck it they don't care



[Chorus]

{H-e-r-b-e-r-t, Moon moon moon Moonstomp}



Everyday at Zestos they're working at their jobs,

Another 120 they hate their dead end yobs

Don't sleep on the weekends the gleam stays in their eyes,

Don't you call it magic their brains are full of ice



[Chorus]



Always down at the clubs, on good terms with the skins,

Acting like an angel won't pay for their sins

After ever to do, when all of the wreckage clears,

The herberts are left standing, they'll have a few more beers

A DAY AT THE FAIR LYRICS - The Lost, The Lucky

A DAY AT THE FAIR LYRICS



"The Lost, The Lucky"






Your heart stopped and I still think of where you've been and where you've gone,

I'll be missing you for way too long,

Cause I took chances on your sympathy, and lost the auction when,

I bid the lost and the lucky,



I can't erase what I can't change,

But the guilt still hurts the same,



I know I could've saved you in the end,

In the end,



I skipped town without the last of words, the last of what I left,

You chose drugs, you chose an ending,

A closed up casket shows me that you'd hide the girl you used to be,

So strong, and so forgiving,



Still hear your voice on my machine,

As you ask you if the bigger picture is all it seems,



You killed yourself for what you could've been,

While I was building a life to bring us back again,



Now I,

Can't say, I'm sorry,

It's too late, I'm holding,

All the answers to our dreams,

Now I'm,

Waiting, silent,

As I think of what regret now means,

For the girl, lost and lucky,



You know I knew that I still thought of you and where your life had gone,

This will leave a mark for way too long,

And every bone that aches remembers you, remembers who you were,

You're the loss that I am living,



I feel the world around me change,

I'm coming back to L. A., looked the same,



I know we could've changed this in the end,



Now I,

Can't say, I'm sorry,

It's too late, I'm holding,

All the answers to our dreams,

Now I'm,

Waiting, silent,

As I think of what regret now means,

For the girl, lost and lucky,



And every promise that I didn't make, I wish I did,

Every word I thought, I could have said before you left,

And every promise that I didn't make, I wish I did,

Every word that kept me holding you until these words forgave me,

Loving you until your life can say that now,



Angel, I'm sorry,

It's too late, I'm holding,

All the answers to our dreams,

Now I'm,

Waiting, silent,

As I think of what regret now means,

For the girl, lost and lucky,

THE UNDERTONES LYRICS - His Good Looking Girlfriend

THE UNDERTONES LYRICS



"His Good Looking Girlfriend"






He's never been more popular since he met Marie

He never went to parties and he's drinking wine for free

He says he doesn't know why he never stays at home



Doesn't he know?

Doesn't he know?

Everybody wants to know his good looking girlfriend

Everybody wants to know his good looking girlfriend



He's trying hard to act the part but it never works

They always see through him to her and she's the one that hurts

She hates all his friends and wonders why they're always near



Doesn't she know?

Doesn't she know?



Everybody...



He loves Marie and he's happy at last

Happy to forget his unhappy past



He thinks he's got all those friends but really he's got none



Doesn't he know...

Everybody wants...

THE RECEIVING END OF SIRENS LYRICS - The Salesman, The Husband, The Lover

THE RECEIVING END OF SIRENS LYRICS



"The Salesman, The Husband, The Lover"






Baby boy had a big old heart

Large enough to tear apart

Split evenly in two

Evenly in two



Mom and Dad had a rocky start

Too much head, too little heart

Soon one turned into two

One, two



Dirty hands made separate beds

And folded sheets in which they slept

Oh what's a boy to do?

What's a boy to do?



When Daddy finds ten dollar whores

And liquor stores

Can offer more

Than his family

Than his friends

More than a woman that he wed



"Oh no, what a shameful seed I've sown."



Then one day daddy walked away

From his wife, the child they had made

It must have been too much

It must have been too much



Mommy tried her best to pay

The bills so that her son could stay

In the house that he was raised

The sons fight the father's war



Love for his heels (The place where love grew too old)

He walked out the door

Left his son to fight his war (Too old and broken to appraise)

Left his son to fight his war

You shadow, you ghost (The place where love grew too old)

Look how crooked I've grown

What a shameful seed you've sown (Too old and broken)

What a seed you've sown



Court ordered visits meant weekends with his Dad

Where he had learned his share of lessons on how to drink like his old man

Back home his mother packed her bags and the dreams that she watched down

For a single room apartment in the seedy part of town



Baby boy became the dad

His family had always lacked

A spitting image of the man

Down to the way he turned his back



He inherited his cheating, an heir to his drunken breath

His father willed him arrogance and passed down his empty chest



Love for his heels (The place where love grew too old)

He walked out the door

Left his son to fight his war (Too old and broken to appraise)

Left his son to fight his war

You shadow, you ghost (The place where love grew too old)

Look how crooked I've grown

What a shameful seed you've sown (Too old and broken)

What a seed you've sown



"Be a lightbulb"

I'm a wishbone

"Be a rifle, a telephone"

I'm just here for you to use

I've got nothing left to lose

I'm the wardship battle

I'm the remnants of the precious metals that weigh you both down

We are heavied, oh so heavy

We are heavied, oh so heavy



Love for his heels (The place where love grew too old)

He walked out the door

Left his son to fight his war (Too old and broken to appraise)

Left his son to fight his war

You shadow, you ghost (The place where love grew too old)

Look how crooked I've grown

What a shameful seed you've sown (Too old and broken)

What a seed you've sown
