Idlewild - Post Electric Blues (2009) by Idlewild (보컬) on maniadb.com

I'm sick of blowing smoke out,
Trying hard to feel doubt,
My book dropped to the ground,
At the part where the frontiers are all pulled down,
But they couldn't and they wouldn't have,
They couldn't and they shouldn't have,
Bu they coul and they would have,
I inherited a nature,
In a language all worn out,
And wallowed by the windows,
In a rambling house at the edge of what I couldn't have,
I couldn't and I shouldn't have,
I could and I should have,
Someday you will find a heaven,
Full of the good and freedom,
Of somewhere younger than America,
Bordering what we could hope to have,
Through the north woods,
East, out of these slow motion town,
Through the willows and the aspens,
You've been weighted down,
Full of what you couldn't have,
You couldn't and you shouldn't have,
You could and you should have,
Someday you will find a heaven,
Full of the good and freedom,
Of somewhere younger than America,
Bordering what we could hope to have,
And from a first edition,
Of 'East of Eden',
You found a version of America,
Bordering what we could hope to have,
Someday you will find a heaven,
Full of the good and freedom,
Of somewhere younger than America,
Bordering what we could hope,

I'll meet you outside the city halls
I'll be standing on the steps of the hall
I'll be waving till I find you

You said "be there or be square, and meet me outside the hall"
And how could I refuse
Such an eloquent misuse of a phrase that I never would

In the back of your mind you're leaving alone
But after you leave, you'll be breathing alone


What could I circle

Still, by the side of the city halls
Five minutes is a month in the past
When no one's waiting to find you

People stop and stare at me outside the hall
In other lives we don't succeed
But the rain in Albion street
Fills a silence that no words could

In the back of your mind you're leaving alone
After you leave, you'll be breathing alone

What could I circle

You take my life away
You take my life away
You take my life away

To break my life away
To break my life away
To break my life away

And then you look into my eyes
Until I saw the night's surprise
And you saw the night's surprise

And you know that the night
Can bring you back to life
And you know that the night
Can bring you back to life

And there's a chance that it might
If it won't take away your life
Then you'll know that the night
Can bring you back, it brings you back to life

You break my life away
To break my life away
You break my life away

You take my life away
You take my life away
You take my life away

And then I look into your eyes
Until I saw the night's surprise
And you saw the night's surprise

And you know that the night
Can bring you back to life
And you know that the night
Can bring you back to life

And there's a chance that it might
If it won't take away your life
Then you'll know that the night
Can bring you back, it brings you back to life

You follow it back
You follow it all back
Then you take my dreams of nothing
You regard them all with nothing

And through the unknown we go back
You find the new, and you take it back
Until you take my dreams of nothing

Make it in together
So it feels like we belong
To a place we feel together
So it feels like we're all gone
When we're gone for forever
I'll be gone for forever

You follow it back
You follow it all back
Then you take my dreams of nothing
To regard them all with nothing

Between the road and the water's edge
An acolyte of disorder
Then you bury my dreams of nothing

We make it in together
So it feels like we belong
We re-unite together
So it feels like we're all gone
Cause we're gone for forever
Then we're gone for forever
I'm gone for forever

And the moon brings us back
I'm going back over to the islands
In-between your smiles
There's a clue whether to scream or be silent
The wind blows sad and joyful on our arrival onto the island
And with your sense of dislocation
You make the perfect travelling companion

The world will always seem
So much younger than me
When I take the boat out
A crowded world will always seem
Emptier to me
When I take the boat out

Suspicion fills the staranger
Who looks beyond the horizon
All the days that I found love
And left with only my feelings to survive on
I walk the solemn line in with the rhythm
Of the seas around the island
Threre are times to act, times to stand back
And time to show what's needed to rely on

And the world will always seem
So much younger than me
When I take the boat out
A crowded world will always seem
Emptier to me
When I take the boat out

When the sea answers the island
When I take the boat out
It's emptier and silent
When I take the boat out

How come you always seem so real defined
You put your hand in my hand make it my design
And we give what we have, and we do what we can
Put your hand in my hand

How come you always seem so real defined
Put your hand in my hand make it our design
And we give what we have, and we do what we can
Put your hand in my hand

When the sea answers the island

We've gone post electric
I've written down the concept
It's casual to deny
Along sentimental lines

A little bronze age electric
And born for the first time
Returning to the tried and tested methods
Keep it modern and alive

I took it as a warning sign
When the heavens clouded over
I've got to keep it in sight
It's the reason for me being in the morning light
To have a clear, clear vision
Despite all the things I'm told

Broken down and homesick
To hide the disappointment
Because a fortunate life, holds no surprise

When you're looking for distinction
And what it brings
Then it's an easy climb to find
A worthwhile reason

When you're looking for a warning sign
An inhibited persona
Into the lines of empty sky
They're richer than my feelings for the moning light
To have a clear, clear vision
Despite all the things I'm told

Your heart's not the type to go beating by itself
Lyrics aside, then let it beat for someone else
Don't let your heart do the talking for your mind
You'll be living in the shadows of your secrets

But your heart has something I don't have
And your heart has something I want to have it away
I want to have it away

A little hope to give you hope
As doubt sets in your mind
And what you say is too kind
And not worth it's patience
I was there, I was there
I'd complain if I cared
And I'll use the words the way they make me sound

But your heart has something I don't have
But your heart has something I want to have it away
I want to have it away

Your heart has something I don't have
Your heart has something I want to have it away
I want to have it away

I'm choosing words that seem to be forgotten
As I use them
These are the same words that let me be forgiven
The minute I choose them
So I won't try, try, try
To sell my advice

Cause it's meant to be forgotten
The minute you try
The lies take the place
Of advice

I can't say
If I'm awake
Like I say
We're built that way, where I'm from

An extension of Lacan's way
A mirror stage
Of disappointment
Where you're from

Give me a clue when these words were written
In reference to use them
So when they're gone, they intend to be forgotten
The minute you choose them
There's not much point
Accepting your advice

Like 'oh to be forgotten'
It only takes two minutes for you
To change your mind

I can't say
If I'm awake
Like I say
We're built that way, where I'm from

An extension of Lacan's way
A mirror stage
Of disappointment
Where you're from

It's all the little things
Descending in the hope for what tomorrow brings
Depending what you wear and what you choose to sing
But slumped forward on bars, seeing circles in stars
You'll find it hard to define who you are

With acclaim, you find it anywhere you are
It's in the dictionary under 'stars, who think they're stars'
But then judgement doesn't go far
You've broken the bounds of the circling stars

Show me fame
Decide who to blame
Let me think about it all night
Why do you have to show me again
When you were right the first time?

I've watched you turn into a goodbye
Almost into a stranger
The dead have been seen alive
Take my car and drive away, towards the river
Drive to the end of the river

And show me fame
Decide who to blame
Let me think about it all night
Why do you have to show me again
When you were right the first time?

Show me blame
Let me think about fame
I'll think about it all night
Why do you have to show me again?
I believed you more the first time

Show me fame
Decide who to blame
Let me think about it all night
Why do you have to show me again
When you were right the first time?

That age old look is in your face
It's been there a while and tries not to say
That you've had your day

But you have a faith, that looks both ways
The look in your eyes will last a lifetime

So when you reach the end of the road
It still leaves somewhere to go
You don't look for signs at the end of the road

But I won't try to live side by side
And I won't try, when you can take me back in time

That charmless look upon your face
Found its way through the smallest things
That have changed

So when you reach the end of the road
It still leaves somewhere to go
You don't look for signs at the end of the road

But I won't try to live side by side
And I won't try, when you can take me back in time
And I won't try to live side by side
And I won't try, when no one can take me back in time
