Never again
Don't call me friend
These devil eyes are wide awake
Her hands around my throat
Tongue-tied and comatose
Mouth is dry
And palms are wet
I'm a ghost
A memory
She burned our love in effigy
The door is closed
And now you're free
To bury life in secrecy
Tell me the truth
What is the use of being faithful
When she lies
Where should I go
What can I say
Why do I bother to even try
I'm a ghost
A memory
She burned our love in effigy
The door is closed
And now you're free
To bury life in secrecy
I'm a ghost
A memory
She burned our love in effigy
The door is closed
And now you're free
To bury life in secrecy

I want to be out in the storm
I don't want to live anymore
I prayed for my soul to be freed
Love is only a word
Talk is cheap
With tears in your eyes
You say
That I'm a creep
We'll meet in a dream
Someday
And then we'll sleep
With tears in your eyes
You say
That I'm a creep
We'll meet in a dream
Someday
And then we'll sleep
I wish I had never been born
The devil spawn with a tail and two horns
You were the girl I admired and adored
I'm damaged now more than ever before
With tears in your eyes
You say
That I'm a creep
We'll meet in a dream
Someday
And then we'll sleep
With tears in your eyes
You say
That I'm a creep
We'll meet in a dream
Someday
And then we'll sleep
With tears in your eyes
You say
That I'm a creep
We'll meet in a dream
Someday
And then we'll sleep

When we're alone
Out late at night
My tears in the sky
And clouds roll by
I gave you a rose
You drove the car
We fell asleep
Under the stars
Sure enough
When life gets rough
You'll be in my arms
When I have a chance
I'll ask for this dance
Holding your hand
They'll understand
I gave you my heart
You make me whole
The warmth from your love
Cuts through the cold
Sure enough
When life gets rough
You'll be in my arms
Sure enough
When life gets rough
You'll be in my arms

Bribe the judge
Rig the polls
Carry on
Young and old
Don't give in
Play to win
Shame your friends
Start again
Play a role
Act the part
But never tell the truth
They don't know
They don't care
And never had a clue
Don't be kind
Don't say please
They are your enemies
You are God
You are blessed
Get up off your knees
Sell your soul
Buy a yacht
If there's no reply
Assume I forgot
If Mom emails prayers
Press delete
If I piss you off
Wear a sheet
Play a role
Act the part
But never tell the truth
They don't know
They don't care
And never had a clue
Don't be kind
Don't say please
They are your enemies
You are God
You are blessed
Get up off your knees

No one will love you like I do
The only man who can see through
Quicksand of lies that's beneath you
Shadowed walls in your bedroom
Dark rain
Sharp pain
The calm seas
And the view from our window
Willow trees
And the breeze in the meadow
The calm seas
And the view from our window
Willow trees
And the breeze in the meadow
The chandelier on the ceiling
All the lights are revealing
Your lips are moving while speaking
Invade my space as I'm dreaming
Deep sleep
Black thief
The calm seas
And the view from our window
Willow trees
And the breeze in the meadow
The calm seas
And the view from our window
Willow trees
And the breeze in the meadow
The calm seas
And the view from our window
Willow trees
And the breeze in the meadow

Seal a kiss with a candle
Light a wire watch it dangle
Fill your cup
Be a rebel
Live it up like a devil
Sinners pull me in
Bring me down to your level
I'm drifting off with the tide again
I'll go anywhere there is trouble
I don't need you to save or defend my life
'Cuz I'll die by the arrow
Take me out if you like
I want to go home
Jokers laughed at the pharaohs
Modern life is for zeroes
Losers live for tomorrow
A higher plane where they can't go
Sinners pull me in
Bring me down to your level
I'm drifting off with the tide again
I'll go anywhere there is trouble
I don't need you to save or defend my life
'Cuz I'll die by the arrow
Take me out if you like
I want to go home
Sinners pull me in
Bring me down to your level
I'm drifting off with the tide again
I'll go anywhere there is trouble
I don't need you to save or defend my life
'Cuz I'll die by the arrow
Take me out if you like
I want to go home
Take me out if you like
I want to go home
Take me out if you like
I want to go home

The Throne of Saint James New York, New York
The Throne of Saint James recommends:
high & low
by kissed her little sister
This is a brilliant album. 'Discoteque Dialect' and 'The Angel of the Lord' are personal favorites.
go to album
The Coachlight Woods
by Glowworm
Glowworm's album 'The Coachlight Woods' has one of my favorite songs: 'Contrails.' It's perfect. And it's incredible how the dialogue from the film 'Gun Crazy' is used. Highly recommended.

First track off the Summer of Haze EP: 'I▼You.' Bow down. Epic witch house. So good.

Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations.
go to album
Influenced by music of the Pacific Northwest, drowse riffs on detachment, memory and the relationship to "self."
go to album
Gnarly punk rock from the Philadelphia duo is unhinged in the best way, an in-the-red sonic assault a la Motorhead/Stooges.
