It seems like you'd be tired of losing face
Like you'd want to put the children in their place The more you have to tell them to do their chores The more you run the risk of being ignored If you're lucky they'll turn out as good as you You tell them that they're good kids But you know that it's not true Your father drank a little You're on liver number two Progress has a way of feigning ease Convenient new inventions bait the tease For though it is impossible to cure A husband bent on cheating The oxygen's depleting A child who's always bragging A wife's persistent nagging We're equipped to live as though it were If you're lucky they'll turn out as good as you You tell them that they're good kids But you know that it's not true Your father drank a little You're on liver number two |

when you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
and how you built a tower tumbling through the trees and holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet and mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder and dad would throw the garbage all across the floor as we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for. and this was the room i knew one afternoon i could love you and from above you how i sank into your soul into that secret place that no one dares to go. and mom would drink until she was no longer speaking and dad would dream of all the different ways to die each one a little more than he could dare to try <3 |

I came out from under her warm sheets
Into the brisk late October If only for one last hope Not wanting my time with you to be over I'm staring up into the sky While all the rain is pouring down now I'm reaching out for your hand While evil beings hold me backwards All shapes and shadows move in and out And hover round my bed Voices arrive and disappear I want to talk to them Darkness disintegrates, I'm rising I'm rising toward a light A light leading over hills and meadows I've risen up from the dead With the burning leaves of autumn If only for one last chance At all of whom have been defeated To put on my father's wool coat To smell my mother's fragrances and perfumes To find my young brothers and sisters To never leave or let them go Houses adorned so beautifully The Marin headland sun Lost verses well up my eyes and ears A lone mandola strums On Tamalpais' warm springs The many places we Laid down in sleepy hidden shadows I see you well and clear Deep in the moonlight dear Your radiant August eyes They are the suns that rise They are the light that lies Lay in these lost verses I came up from under the ocean Evaporated sea saltwater A mist above the skyline I haunt the streets of San Francisco Watch over loved ones and old friends I see them through their living room windows Shaken by fear and worries I want them to know how I love them so Fog horns will sound and wake you Is it my voice you hear? Footsteps are moving across the floor And you know I'm near Laughter carries up from the hills And you are well and clear To fall into the light I follow I feel you oh so near When mourning doves appear And ghosts of April rain Echo and refrain Soon finding their place in these lost verses They fill the foggy days That hide the hills away That steal our time They are the picturesque nights The casting city lights On the bay flowing Into the ocean glowing *electric guitar breakdown |

if i wrote a song like this i'd probably toss it aside and think it's too repetitive with too much banal lyrics (though some of them are good)
i mean i love sun kil moon but he has some songs that are essentially one chord progression with 98 verses |

Yeah he could whittle it down a bit: "houses adorned so beautifully" is emblematic of the myriad show vs tell violations littering what are otherwise some interesting lyrics.

I think that's one of his best songs. No lyricist comes close to Kozelek for me, he can be as indulgent as he wants. I have a hard time with his newer stuff though

i want to clarify that what i meant to say by that was, that it's funny how different people have different criteria for what makes good art, let alone favorites. i could be writing something and think it's bullshit and another guy might think it's gold.
re: kozelek, i do like him, but i find his newer stuff a bit disappointing, in that they're usually less musically inspired, and have to do more with his desire to talk your ears off. "i watched the movie the song remains the same" is a good example. i still enjoy listening to it sometimes, it's got its own introspective journey kinda thing, but Ghosts of the Great Highway stuff was more to my liking |

it's pretty difficult to read lyrics w/o music and get the impact. Sometimes good lyrics sound totally stupid when read aloud like poetry.

in liverpool
on sunday no traffic on the avenue the light is pale and thin like you no sound down in this part of town. except for the boy in the belfry he's crazy. he's throwing himself down from the top of the tower like a hunchback in heaven, he's ringing the bells in the church for the last half an hour. he sounds like he's missing something or someone that he knows he can't have now and if he isn't, i certainly am. homesick for a clock that told the same time sometimes you made no sense to me. if you lie on the ground in somebody's arms you'll probably swallow some of their history. and the boy in the belfry he's crazy. he's throwing himself down from the top of the tower like a hunchback in heaven, he's ringing the bells in the church for the last half an hour. he sounds like he's missing something or someone that he knows he can't have now and if he isn't, i certainly am. i'll be the girl who sings for my supper you'll be the monk whose forehead is high he'll be the man who's already working spreading a memory all through the sky in liverpool on sunday no reason to even remember you now. except for the boy in the belfry he's crazy. he's throwing himself down from the top of the tower like a hunchback in heaven, he's ringing the bells in the church for the last half an hour. he sounds like he's missing something or someone that he knows he can't have now and if he isn't, i certainly am. ilu suzanne vega |

when you face the beast
turn on the light inside that is yourself its alright, if its a crime will the loss of garden reap the beauty that is with ourselves its alive, for this time in the fallout of eden will the eye let you decide or will the moment of innocence slide on the unknown will it slide on, the unknown ... sorry, wrong thread. I did write those... : p |

You don't know me
Bet you'll never get to know me You don't know me at all Feel so lonely The world is spinning round slowly There's nothing you can show me From behind the wall Show me from behind the wall Show me from behind the wall Show me from behind the wall |

a shadow is a dark place
where you can see outside but not be seen and I can sense a smile upon your face and you turn around and don't see me ...why don't you see me? you're happy when you're lying in your bed to know that someone's always thinking of you it makes the doubts fly quickly from your head up up up into the air in your room and you told me that everything was ok I bit my lip a little tighter and walked away you took away the candy from my mouth and filled it up with really old saltines avoided ever being figured out by changing my reality to dreams and you told me that everything was ok |
