Lyrics to La Foret

[johnny aka Dxflipm0de]

I know there's some stuff up right now but it's scattered all around and I want to make a thread devoted specifically to lyrics on the new album. I think they're great, but we don't have that many yet. So, if you have lyrics to a song that's not already up here, please feel free to post (interpretation's are fine too). Here's what I've found so far:


Clover

i tried hard to be good to you
i felt peace inside my head
its impossible to just be cool
please please please
dont dont dont
walk like my single hope
we closed our lips and we called it our love
we swallowed a clover made of lead
its unmanageable to just keep on living
please please please
dont dont dont
walk like my single hope
i can only say it
so many times


Baby Captain

black phoebe
theres a candle in my window
black phoebe
it's all inside of you
black phoebe
theres a candle in my window
baby captain
i hope those teary eyes
are only from x
and i hope they dont dry
when (your biking) photos set you free
and you see what a stunner you are
(get me a captain)
i hope that (white gold) girl
forgets about you
your crooked blood seeps up
from her (hope)
you see what a stunner you are
black phoebe
theres a candle in my window
black phoebe
it's all inside of you
black phoebe
theres a candle in my window


Rose of Sharon

its light outside
when you finally see
a quiet failure sleeping next to you
dont think
dont try
dont rush away
when i say you deserve less

you try so hard to be
as sweet as you can for me
but i dont see you for who you are
rose of sharon in my failing light

ringless finger
pretend you dont know how you stand it
cause you know you are nobody

you try so hard to be
as sweet as you can for me
but i dont see you for who you are
rose of sharon in my failing light


Bog People interpretation 1:

why ask
why not it goes with this night
so will it ever stop
will it always be this hard
there will always be a jar of ash
there will always be an unfit mind
there will always be a lonely son
there will always be a humiliated little girl
why ask
is there any reason
why ask
if it'll just let up
why ask
is there any reason
why ask
if it'll just let up
up up up up
there will always be a headless neck
there will always be happiness
there will always be a handless wrist to crush
there will always be a hopeful heart to disrespect
why ask
is there any reason
why ask
if it'll just let up
why ask
is there any reason
why ask
if it'll just let up
up up up up


Ale

shut up shut up
i wanna hear that pin pricking
shut up shut up
i wanna hear that nail scrape
shut up shut up
up your insipid voice
shut up shut up
is that your glass heart clinking?
i want to go to bed every second
wrap your arms around your kitty
she wont cuddle up to your disgusting feet
shes not the only one who wont
the gamecube is on
its tender buttons hide
crazy is the place your gigantic fat body fits
crazily it fits into any bed
shut up shut up
i wanna hear that pin pricking
shut up shut up
i wanna hear that nail scrape
shut up shut up
up your insipid voice
shut up shut up
is that your glass heart clinking?
whats done is done
it cannot be undone
whats done is done
it cannot be undone
whats done is done

thank you for giving credit to the (transcriptionist). you found those on songmeanings.net and i (transcribed) them.

[my two cents]

congratufuckinlations, would you like a brownie as well?

notice how he didn't say he wrote them, but merely stated he found them... if you're more in love with yourself than you are with the music, then you should start a post auctioning off xiu xiu lyrics because it must be obvious that only you can decipher them.

... um.. did you just call her a goat waxer?...

[no]

your crooked blood seeps up from HELL. isn't that obvious?

[DaveOjo]

Uh, rose of sharon is going to be on the new record?

Because it's already on my copy of fabulous muscles...

[Phil J]

then you got some bum MP3-ripped copy of Fabulous Muscles.


the official 5 Rue Christine release doesn't have Rose of Sharon.

the australian release of fabulous muscles apparently has the 7" version of rose of sharon

[DaveOjo]

Yep, I have the australian version.

It has different cover art too (I prefer it.)

[kevin]

rose of sharon (grey ghost version) is actually somewhere in between somewhat and quite different than the previously released version.

[monkey in the clsoet]

i'd like to hear the old version

[DaveOjo]

It's not very good. It sort of ruins the end of the record having it on there.
I always have to jump up quick and switch it off after 'mike'.

[tommmmm]

anyone for muppet face lyrics?
