Fiery Furnaces piosenki

I went on down to the duplexes of the dead Where the shades are drawn and the shadow’s shut Unless you know the magic word, seldom said but often heard Bite your lip then spin around three times On our honeymoon, my husband sat still With a look in his...

I was wielding my axe Drank whiskey at the bar Every night coming home Out the windshield of my car I would look through my boughs And think I saw my lucky star I was spreading my sheets Took dinner all alone Every night of the week Awaiting for the...

One of those blonde ladies had a certain hold on me. I went to all her seminars by the Airport in the Double Tree. I even let her use nephew's sea plane in the Bahamas for free. But she means nothing to me now. I tell myself that everyday: She means not...

Now, as for my aunt, Who told on me. She was always wearing her turbans. Sailing back to Greece on the Normandy. Having dinner at the captain's table, sitting on the deck with 5 men surrounding her, with uncle Sam in the back row. Back at home, ridi...

Gale, gale blow Gale, gale blow My umbrella can't take it you know Been caught in a hail storm A blizzard tornado's nose But nothing, no nothing Can beat this gale blow 

"Well, good for you. But we have something too." So said my aunt. A bowling alley and lunch counter filled with fellas on their lunch break, from the Western Electric plant at a slant across the street. And next door when So-and-So's men would come in,...

Last day in May the afternoon Remember Black marks of charcoal from the dune Remember I thought it wouldn't be too soon We'll wait at least until it's June The twenty-ninth of March it rained Remember You'd look so sad that I explain Remember You k...

I slit my wrist with my swing line Copied myself 500 times I pierced my ears with a three-hole punch Ate twelve dozen doughnuts for lunch So next week I'ma walk Next week I'ma walk And the week after that I'm gonna run I swam in an Olympic-sized poo...

In my little thatched hut The blue-green grass grows by the brook I lounge and I look (I lounge and I look, I lounge and I look) For my own true love to return To come rowing in his rowboat back I'll go to the flower stall And get a violet to put in m...

In the cracker barrel dumpster I found a bag Red white striped I opened it--gag Mummy day pizarro dressed in a Inca rag Call on in to work quick Tell 'em that I'm seasick Uncle Ricky's schooner's docked Pompano Beach Weigh anchor and me and him each N...

Down at the Shell shed, the boys are picking out the pearls The home I'm in lets the rain get in I bought 22 ounces of the petrol, park, wait at the light I'm never going to make it back in time 'fore Geraldine and me to begin Mr. Rayne in his Japanese Sl...

I pulled my kerchief out of my pocket Wiped my nose and said hello I bought a tambourine at the millennium dome It jangled 2000 times in a row I caught a cold when I was way down south Standing out in the heat Now my eyes are all itchy And I can't tell...

Came a card marked Mason City From my forwarder. Shut the door, don’t let my dad see; Read aloud dear sir: Understanding you account an upright gent- lemen Aetna Life agreed and lent. As agreed, my fee is 2.6 percent. Write again the Riceville widow SA...

…I kicked my dog I was mean to him before I guess that’s why he walked out my door. I really wish I could see him some more. I looked under the mats and I asked all the cats I went to the vet have you heard anything yet My dog was lost but now he’s found...

I never thought it could have happened to me. But on the morning of my eldest daughter's Second wedding, I blacked out. They said it was just stress, but I didn't think so: I couldn't remember the 15 minutes before. A white-haired half Samoan girl from...

I got warnings from jealous friends; Cases of borrowed clothes And a vial of Dramamine from my mother. And she said, "Forget what mom likes 'cause things have changed"; Taught me how to make booze at home: call it "Old Uncle Zeke" and drink it early next...

There's a town I know called Nevers, no Nevers never wasn't was what it weren't. When it wasn't once. Knew Nevers? Knew Nevers? Nothing never I'll ever learnt. There's a village I visit, that's vaguely; Sorta vaguely. Vaguely yes I seem to recall....

I was in Tahoe, on the California side, waiting in the lobby at 665 1/2 Frontage Road when two extra-blond short sleeve button-down white-shirt blue-tie mystery Mormons came in and put this music on: came in and took me by the arm, and as they had me mar...

At last when the choice was neither nor, Bottom of the bay we’re set ashore. Went into town beg what we lack: 200 stripes on horseback. Wearing my yellow coat, Rope tied around my throat: Great green wax candle unlit; Silence! And then the sentence spit...

Forget the dogs and forget the sheep- it's only you who affects me. On the fun fair track road, a helter skelter fall, on my ice skater's bruised knees. Vibrate buzz buzz ring and beep tell me what time is it now. Vibrate buzz buzz ring and beep tell...
