fave lyrics today?
*TTPD Spoilers*
I've only listened to the album twice but so far my fave lyrics are:
Fortnight: You sometimes ask about the weather / Now you’re in my backyard / Turn into good neighbours / Your wife waters flowers / I wanna kill her
But Daddy I Love Him: Now I’m running with my dress unbuttoned / Screaming, "But daddy I love him!" / "I'm having his baby" / "No I'm not but you should see your faces"
But Daddy I Love him: Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all
But Daddy I Love Him: I’ll tell you something about my good name / It’s mine alone to disgrace
Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?: I was tame / I was gentle / ‘til the circus life made me mean / Don’t you worry folks we took out all her teeth
I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can): The jokes that he told across the bar were revolting and far too loud / They shake their heads saying, "God help her" when I tell ‘em he’s my man / But you’re good lord doesn’t need to lift a finger / I can fix him, no really I can
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived: Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead? Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?
Clara Bow: The crown is stained but you’re the real Queen / Flesh and blood amongst war machines / You’re the new God we’re worshipping / Promise to be dazzling
Clara Bow: Beauty is a beast that roars / Down on all fours / Demanding more / Only when your girlish glow / Flickers just so / Do they let you know / It's Hell on Earth to be heavenly

"I watch neighbors open // their phones to watch / a cop demanding a man’s driver’s license. When a man reaches for his wallet, the cop / shoots. Into the car window. Shoots. // It is a peaceful country."

If Kindness Becomes Our
It should be better; Kindness becomes our guest,Then she would make a better place for us,Feed stomaches to the merry,And water throats to the satisfy,Being much better where no conflict minds,No hidden agendas, for what Kindness is all.

When the thoughts get loud again,
When the heart starts to ache once more,
I turn up the volume and blast music into my ears.
And suddenly the world is okay for a little longer.

What is it like to watch mouths move as conversations abound with emotion that only facial expressions and hand gestures can reveal? Can we still speak when we cannot hear or utter a word?
