Regina Spektor - Consequence of sounds
Tekst :
My rhyme ain t good just yetMy brain and tongue just met
And they ain t friends so far
My words don t travel far
They tangle in my hair
And tend to go nowhere
They grow right back inside
Right past my brain and eyes
Into my stomach juice
Where they don t serve much use
No healthy calories
Nutrition values
And i absorb back in
The words right through my skin
They sit there festering inside my bowels
The consonants and vowels
The consequence of sounds
Got a soundtrack in my mind
All the time
Kids screaming from too much beat up and they don t even rhyme
They just stand there on a street corner
Skin tucked in and meat side out
And shouting - i d like to turn them down but there ain t no knob
Born into picket fences
Not into picket lines
All this hippie shit s for the sixties
Only cliché in our times, but
What if one of these days your heart will just stop ticking
And they sort of just don t find you till your cubicle is reeking?
The consonants and vowels
The consequence of sounds
Did you know that the gravedigger s still getting stuck in the machine
Even though it s a whole other daydream?
It s another town, it s another world
Where the kid s asleep, and the loans are paid, and the lawns are mowed
What d you think--all the gravediggers were gone just cause one song is done?
There s always another one
Waiting right around the bend
Till this one ends
Then it begins squeaky clean and it starts all over again
The weather report keeps on tossing and turning
Predicting and warning and warning and warning of
Possible leakage from news publications and
Possible leakage from news tv stations, that
Very same morning right next to her coffee
She noticed some bleeding and heard hollow coughing
The national geographic was being too graphic
When all she had wanted to know was the traffic
The world s got a nosebleed, it said, and we re flooding
But we keep on cutting the trees in the forest
And we keep on paying those freaks on the tv
Who claim they will save us but want to enslave us and
Sweating like demons they scream through our speakers
But we leave the sound on cause silence is harder and
No one s the killer and no one s the martyr
The world that has made us can no longer contain us
And prophets are silent and rotting away cause
The consonants and vowels
The consequence of sounds
Regina Spektor - Oh Marcello
Tekst :
Oh, Marcello, how I wonderthe madonna, she tell the truth, no?
she been saying, I’ll have a baby
when he grow up he become a killer
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
oh lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood…
Oh, Marcello, never thought I’d
really love you, but I do so
my head waiter’s head on your platter
just say the word and [???] make him kiss my gutters
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
oh lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood…
Oh, Marcello! Oh, Marcello!
Oh, Marcello, how I wonder
the madonna, when she speak she tell the truth, no?
she been saying, I’ll have a baby
when he grow up he become a killer and kill everybody
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
oh lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood…
Regina Spektor - Woolen gloves
Tekst :
Come downstairsI ll put flowers in your hair
Won t you forgive me now?...
Somedays are like woolen gloves
You feel warm but you can t touch things properly
Can t hold on to glass
Can t hold on to rocks
Can t hold on to love
While wearing woolen gloves
Won t you forgive me now?...
If i lived here i would swim every day
My skin would turn darker and i d have babies and they d drink all my milk
But i live in new york
With my woolen gloves
Falling in and out
Of my woolen gloves
Won t you forgive me now?...

Sea bird
Sea bird flies without a word at all
Captivated by the lonely call
Water glistens like a string of pearls
To the beach and through the rocks it swirls
And I gave you all my love
And I gave you all my love
Captivated by the lonely call
Water glistens like a string of pearls
To the beach and through the rocks it swirls
And I gave you all my love
And I gave you all my love
Siren song
Days go by
Adrift upon a rolling sky
The miracles escape my eyes
But I still hope
Time, regret
Is this as good as life can get?
It s only when the spirit sets me free I cope
If I seek in every corner
If I search in...
Adrift upon a rolling sky
The miracles escape my eyes
But I still hope
Time, regret
Is this as good as life can get?
It s only when the spirit sets me free I cope
If I seek in every corner
If I search in...
Too many times
There ve been too many times
when I never said what was on my mind.
How was I to know you d go so soon?
Your God would come to take you home
leaving me stumbling over
stupid lines on a shabby page.
Daddy, sometimes I m filled with rage.

Thousand caves
Elven underworld
Colours of the stars
Their dens seal the love
That lies above
Elven underworld
So far from the stars
Their dens seal the love
For the night and the skies
Woods and wild
Air and light
Bones of the earth
Crafted by the Dwarves
Legacy of Naugrim
Caves of Menegroth
Dwarven illusions
All the cold and grey
Covered with green
Caves of Menegroth
Dwarven...

You and your mans and them just took over the floor
Started doing your thang
And it made me noticeyou even more
The way you turned around and looked at me it seemed as through
You...
