lyrics

A Glass of Laughter

Quiet what you want from me,
we’ve been through this before
I don’t deny your discontents,
I might even lend you more

It’s clear the days we sped away
are coming to a head
So pour me a glass of laughter,
and take me right to bed

I never learned to make amends
with all this world demands
I could not buy you winter gloves,
but I always took your hand

And now you thrust your fingers
deep in your coat instead
So pour me a glass of laughter,
and take me right to bed

And if I fight your kindness,
I need it all the same
But why you keep on coming ‘round,
well that’s difficult to name

It’s true I do not love you
for your beauty, though it’s yours
It’s just when waves surround me,
I search only for your shores

It’s just some ancient instinct,
deprived of heart or head
So pour me a glass of laughter,
and take me right to bed

Still Life

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems. Niek || Add To Wantlist
