The Hold Steady piosenki

I guess I met a couple bona fide angels But they all seemed kind of fat and fatigued And now we're trying to match their mouths from the screens Match their heads to their dreams Everybody's searching out of the softest seat All dolled up for the funeral...

(Verse) There were days from last week I couldn't quite complete Skipped ahead to the next afternoon Swept through the sheets, slept in my shoes Hung around with a house of balloons (Chorus) Keep the speed steady, hold the wheel straight We scratch and...

Let's get on with the business! I worry inside about that prick in the parking lot I wanted this to be our year! But they cut off supplies and they sent over some guys And those guys have made it perfectly clear! I know I made them a promise, but those a...

When there weren't any parties she'd park by the quarry Walk into the woods until she came to a clearing Where townies would gather and drink until blackout Smoke cigs 'till they're sick, pack bowls and then pass out Windows wide open to let the hard rock...

The kids are ripping into sugar packets The townies taking off their tavern jackets I'm in the pews sticking bills in the basket Praying that they're cool when I come pick up the package Tonight we're gonna have a really good time But I want to go to hea...

I guess I met her at the party pit She said those kids she's with were selling it So we sailed off on some separate trips She got pinned down at the party pit I went away to school that fall She stuck around with all those stickpin dolls Sped through th...

Woke up in the '20s and there were flappers and fruits in white suits It was right before the crash, we got thrashed throughout the '30s Queuing up for soup with scabby sores Then they sent us off to war We came back in the '40s and there were wheelchairs...

The power of love is a curious thing Make a one man weep, make another man sing Change a hawk to a little white dove More than a feeling, that's the power of love Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream Make a bad on...

The girls want to go to the party, but no one's in any shape to drive So we called up your guy, and when he comes we're gonna ask for a ride We get to the place and she don't want to dance, she says she's not really into this track She wants to know what's...

They found me in a florist, I was fried and out of focus I was kicking it with chemists The scratches on my back, they formed into a choir And belted out a chorus There were clicks and hisses and complicated kisses Gideon's got a pipe made from a Pringle...

It started when we were dancing It got heavy when we got to the bathroom We didn't go back to her place We went to some place where she cat-sits She said, "I know I look tired But every thing's fried here in Memphis" Now they want to know exactly which...

She only pays attention to the prices of cigarettes She says she hopes they'll get cheaper She only takes the pick-me-uppers To counteract all the put-me-to-sleepers She used to be a receiver Went out deep for guys that looked like Johnny Fever Last win...

Don't tell my sister about your most recent vision Don't tell my family, they're all wicked strict Christians Don't tell the hangers-on, don't tell your friends Don't tell them we went down to Ybor City again Don't tell the dancers, they'll just get distr...

Well, the hospital's going to let you go, but the city's gonna stick around Yeah, sure the stars are in the sky, but the money's still down on the ground Man, if money didn't matter then I might tell you something new You can't tell people what they want to...

Southtown girls won't blow you away But you know that they'll stay Southtown girls won't blow you away But you know that they'll stay Southtown girls won't blow you away But you know that they'll stay Southtown girls won't blow you away But you know th...

Once she figures out what's wrong Put another record on She picks it up and she carries her cross Heartbreak hurts but you can dance it off Sure, some nights she'll curse these clubs She's two years off some prairie town She goes out almost every night...

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh) (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh) I gotta lotta old friends that are gettin' back in touch And it's a pretty good feelin, yeah it feels pretty good I get a lotta double-takes when I'm comin' around...

You came into the party with a long black shawl And the guys from the front lawn were making jokes about the white swan Some nights we just need to get touched and rub up against something plush Some nights it's just a crush and some nights it's blood lust...

There are nights when I think that Sal Paradise was right Boys and girls in America, they have such a sad time together Sucking off each other at the demonstrations, making sure their makeup's straight Crushing one another with colossal expectations, depend...

Payne Avenue lives up to its name Some nights it's painful and strange The whole city seemed sane in the day But some nights it seems distressed and deranged The east side is where we met with those guys That said they'd get us high but then changed Now...
