send me love and sun to boot

this one comes free from consequence of sound's 100th mixtape with a direct link to the download here. i've been delving into the world of music blogs the past couple of days and am extremely overwhelmed but then i found this and it makes me so happy

i have listened to voxtrot for a while now, mostly to "the start of something" but now they are disbanding! i literally just found out while writing this post cause i was gonna write how i love this song but then i saw they were coming to nyc so i was gonna write that i just got tickets to see them on friday, june 25th then i realized it's part of their disbanding tour. what the hell? they also play the 26th but that show sold out because, of course, it's their last show in any forseeable ever. ugh! so yea i got tickets for the 25th i'm gonna take someone awesome and we'll go experience voxtrot live for the first and last time. hope you check out this song and get concert tickets before it's too late! the band has a further explanation on their website which is worth reading.



Whiskey and water - Voxtrot

Please send me a sign
And set me up against the rain
Give me something I can trust
In all the drama and change

I followed a dream
And if a man has gone too far
Then let me live against my creed
And all the filth of it all

And I can drink
My whiskey and water and
Fix folly and peace
Cause there's a price you pay
To live this way
It's called a release

Please drop me a line
And send me love and sun to boot
Cause I am idle drunk unwell
Busy with nothing to do

This body is cold
I have to make the grade alone
Cause I have traveled far to find
I need a room of my own

Where I can
Bring color with fortune cause
She's something to be
She's spending Saturdays emphatic
With the SSP

And I am
Charged guilty as sin
Because it hurts me to know
That she is working so hard
But for the joy of stock control

But let me
Sing out to myself
And polish off these bottled cries
And send them down to solve your woe
Cos I'm not ready to die

But I
I'm ready to live
Can I make it out with pride
And play the left wing let down king
Fed up with something to hide

And I can
Run to you for cover and
We'll bury the dread
And when the time has come for leaving
I will love you instead

Oh won't you
Sing something in minor key
This stillness is bleak
I could be dreaming with the
Guilt we have for the working week

And in the
Warm arms of a stranger I'm
Too happy to lie
I know we've both been here before
Just please don't ask me why

And I have
Walked here with you close to me
But never alone
But won't you cling to me in nature key
You're the joy I've known
You're the joy I've known (repeated)
Lalalalalalala lalalala
