I know you're no good for me

Kid Gloves - Voxtrot

Listen to the sounds, they're ringing out around you
These are the cries of the dying breed
Politics of hate you'd never get around to
Blood over brains that we never need

I saw you in the back, studied and relaxed
Fixed in the pose like a silent stone
Serenity intact, it's the feeling that I lack
Life in the floors of a stable home

I can trace you on paper like a sketch of a smell
You're a breath to the runner in contest
In close to the nerve, but you rest so far away
And I have to give it up someday

Every time I close my eyes, I see you in front of me
Pretending in a love like this
I have no choice but to put you in back of me
Don't cover my footsteps

Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me
Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader
You're dead weight all right, that's fine, you get your hands off me
You have to touch me with kid gloves
You have to touch me with kid gloves

Buy me to the wind, you talk me out of standstill
I never felt so alive at once
Finger to the quick, yes I can feel your hand still
Pressed to the drain of the common months

Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm a miserable fuck
Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm a tireless bore
Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm invisibly stuck
All in myself, yes, I'm a vanity whore

Because it's race and it's power at the center of life
We are blind to the people who need us
But you're the kind of person who could understand that fault
And I hope to measure you someday

Every time I close my eyes, I see you in front of me
Pretending in a love like this
I have no choice but to put you in back of me
Don't cover my footsteps

Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me
Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader
Dead weight all right, that's fine, you get your hands off me
You have to touch me with kid gloves
You have to touch me with kid gloves

Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm a miserable fuck
Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm a tireless bore
Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm invisibly stuck
All in myself, yes, I'm a vanity whore

Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm a miserable fuck
Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm a tireless bore
When you compromise yourself like that it's a dedication
So we went on frenching

Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me
Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader
Dead weight all right, that's fine, you get your hands off me
You have to touch me with kid gloves
You have to touch me with kid gloves

life in the future is blissfully kind

Yeah, everyone I know is losing their minds
Yeah, but everyone I know has a really good time



Trepanation Party - Voxtrot

Lie to me and say you love me
Do it for your sister, honey
Turn me out through leaves of plastic
Seven hours down
Every day I'm late for dinner
Monday night I'm ten pounds thinner
Rollin' through the door with modern
Looking deadly

Girls who love me
Girls who hate me
Girls who never really rate me
Come on out and celebrate me

The great erotic garbage every
Women feeds us starves to death
Staring through the kitchen window
Laughin' at me

All of the time
All of the time
All of the time

Lucy said she used to be
Like me, but now she's doing fine
Mornings at the local bath and some days the road
If you get sad and you get lonely
Call me up, I'll always love you
I'll be there to hold you
When you're seeing double

'Cause you're my friend
'Cause you're my friend

Yeah, everyone i know is losing their minds
Yeah, but everyone i know has a really good time
Drilling holes in my head
Ah, you will never go blind
I will always be the outlaw for your love

One day you will come across
Who you were, and what you lost
One day you will see with me, simple truths about
Simple times and simple taste will drag you out and make you wait
For drums of life are calling anxious

Every beat of every drum
Is telling you, not everyone
As one described, we are man's son
And you just can't see it

Something envied
Something green
Something that you took from me
Dreams of love and growing young

But life in the future is blissfully kind
We've got so many questions, left with so little time
Drilling holes in my head
Ah, you will never go blind
I will always be the outlaw for your love

Yeah, well everyone i know is losing their minds
Yeah, but everyone i know has a good time
Drilling holes in my head
Ah, you will never go blind
I will always be the outlaw for your love

How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be

How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be

Yeah, how does it feel to be
How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be

How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful
One of the beautiful people?

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
