our hopes and expectations

Time - He's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, boy

Time - He flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy

Time - In Quaaludes and red wine
Demanding Billy Dolls
And other friends of mine
Take your time

The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain, and many other last names
I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think "Oh God I'm still alive"

We should be on by now

You - are not a victim
You - just scream with boredom
You - are not evicting time

Chimes - Goddamn, you're looking old
You'll freeze and catch a cold
'Cause you've left your coat behind
Take your time

Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams, I made so many breakthroughs
But you, my love, were kind, but love has left you dreamless
The door to dreams was closed, your park was real and greenless
Perhaps you're smiling now, smiling through this darkness
But all I have to give is guilt for dreaming


We should be on by now

the fisherman's daughter

Always had a drive for sea, lighthouses, ships and folk music. how great combination is that?
Few years ago (um.... like over ten years ago acually), I was fascinated by Ireland. Add everything from above and check the great folk music it gives.

One of the greatest songs ever written, with one of the most beautiful lyrics EVER:


The whole album was my theme for the cost journey last week. And maybe it wasn't what I expected, maybe I got lost in the previous Kings Of Leon album, but still it's worth listening to. You can really feel the sea somewhere there. A lot (the title is This Is The Sea)!

It's also very much 80's style album (dooh!). But trumpets and violins are so good. And lyrics of course. Especially these:



Other songs that come to my mind when I think about the sea are of course Patrick Wolf's - To the Lighthouse for example.

But also check out what's beneath:



And this note could not exist without The Frames, because they're from Ireland and because I first heard them on the cost:
