lyrics

Carolina

Feel no peace and make no war, so what is it you want?
In coastal climes you’ll wait all time for some silent detente

Mourning for a poet who never spoke a word
Bury your young father with enmity insured

Throw the dishes in the street, no one eats here anymore
Tired of playing house with some disgraced philosopher

Saturdays you work a double at the uni store
I don’t demand your attention like the child I was before

Carolina, I can’t hold you anymore
Seems I never really was when I was yours
Should I feel some shame for hanging on in vain
to the sight of your tongue trying to catch the acid rain?
Yeah, the sight of your light
fading out and in again

Stranded in some century that we left in disrepair
Combing through the dunes like some burner angel’s hair

No mind or no matter, you’re uncomfortably kind
When your windows shattered, there was nothing much to find

Carolina, I can’t hold you anymore
Seems I never really was when I was yours
Should I feel some shame for hanging on so long
to the touch of your hand falling where it don’t belong
Out on the shivering sand as the sun was burning down

Carolina, I can’t hold you anymore
Seems I never really was since I was yours
Should I feel some shame for hanging on in vain?
Carolina, will we never meet again?

Still Life
by Massage

supported by 28 fans who also own “Carolina”

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
