laura marling - alas i cannot swim
There's a house across the river, but alas. I cannot swim
And a garden of such beauty that the flowers seem to grin
There's a house across the river, but alas, I cannot swim
I'll live my life regretting that I never jumped in.
There's a boy across the river with short black curly hair,
He wants to be my lover and I want to be his peer,
There's a boy across the river but alas, I cannot swim,
And I never will get to put my arms around him.
There's a life across the river that was meant for me,
Instead I live my life in constant misery.
There's a life across the river but I do not see
Why I should please those that will never be pleased.
There is gold across the river but I don't want none (x2)
Gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun (x2)
There is gold across the river but I don't want none
I would rather be dry than held up by a golden gun
Saying 'work more and more' / live more, have more fun. (x3)
laura marling - all my rage
Stole my children, left my son
Of all of them, he's the only one
Who did not mean that much to me
I tip my cap to the raging sea...
Oh cover me up, I'm pale as night
With a mind so dark and skin so white
Is this the devil having fun?
Tip my cap to the raging sun...
Now all my rage been gone
Now all my rage been gone
I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun
I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun...
Stole my children, left my son
Of all of them, he's the only one
Who did not mean that much to me
I tip my cap to the raging sea...
My daughter, she's the pretty one
I married her off to the reverend's son
Now she lives in a sin-free world
Tip your cap to the brave old girl...
Now all my rage been gone
Now all my rage been gone
I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun
I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun...
Now all my rage been gone
Now all my rage been gone
I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun
I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun...
laura marling - alpha shallows
He could fall and she could weep
But as holy are her feet and hard with mention
But dear they may not speak
We fell tight when there is tension and their eyes could make us weak
And his heart was full of fire at the man he had become
And his soul was seldom higher with the falsities of fun
He could embrace sweet desire as in moments as they pass
But he feared it ever more, when he saw it didn't last
We walk up Holland avenue
and watch the rich as they consume
Their product made our hearts exude emptiness unrivalled by
The hunger that I could control
And he'd pray up to his God that he might save his soul
But the grey in this city is too much to bear
The grey in this city is too much to bear
And I believe you are meant to be seen but not to be understood
And I want to be held those eyes
I want to be held those eyes
You'll work your thumbs till they're sore
And you'll work my heart till it's raw
and you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told
and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall
and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall
We are basic lies
We are basic lies
It's going to be pretty tough when you leave
You'll help to take a little part of me
To make sure you don't treat yourself mean
And I want to see all that you'll see
And we are basic lies
And we are basic lies
laura marling - blackberry stone
Well I, own this field
And I wrote this sky
And I have no reason, to reason with you
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered, but I'd understand that I'd never let it go
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered, but I'd understand that the world does what it does
And you never did learn to let the little things go
And you never did learn to let me be
And you never did learn to let little people grow
And you never did learn how to see
But I whisper that I love this man, now and for forever to your soul as it floats out off the window
To the world that you turned your back on,
To the world that never really let you be,
And I am Laura now, and Laura still,
And you did always say that one day I would suffer.
You did always say that people get their pay.
You did always say that I was going places,
And that you wouldn't have it any other way.
But I couldn't turn my back on a world, for what I like wouldn't let me
But I couldn't turn my back on a world for And I couldn't turn my back on sweet smelling Blackberry stone
laura marling - blues run the game
Catch a boat to england, baby, maybe to spain,
Wherever I have gone,
Wherever I've been and gone,
Wherever I have gone the blues run the game.
Send out for whiskey, baby, send out for gin,
Me and room service, honey,
Me and room service, mama,
Me and room service, we are living life of sin
When I'm not sleeping, honey, you are on my mind,
When I'm not sleeping, honey,
I ain't sleeping, mama,
When I ain't sleeping well you know you'll find me crying.
Try another city, baby, another town,
Wherever I have gone,
Wherever I've been and gone,
Wherever I have gone the blues come following round.
Living is a gamble, baby,
Loving's much the same,
Wherever I have gone,
Wherever I've rolled them dice,
Wherever I have gone the blues are all the same.
When I'm not drinking baby, someplace down the line,
When I ain't drinking honey, I ain't drinking mama,
When I'm not drinking, well you know you'll find me crying
Catch a boat to england, baby, maybe to spain,
Wherever I have gone,
Wherever I've been and gone,
Wherever I have gone the blues run the game.
laura marling - candlelight
I have a fear of rejection
But you wont see it in my be-judgment
Arrogance is my biggest fault
But its the thing i hate most of all
But maybe im just, crazy and grew up too fast
This is heaven an hell all at once
This is all i got and all i'd want
But like a lost soul i will, wonder the globe till this feelings gone
Sitting in his bedroom scared as hell
Listening to the libertines on the vinyl player on his self
Getting nervous as i leave his door
Drinking quite a lot and then drinking quite a lot more
But maybe im just, crazy and grew up too fast
This is heaven an hell all at once
This is all i got and all i want
But like a lost soul i will, wonder the globe till this feelings gone
Cigarette by candlelight
Became my view of the night
Summertime was my biggest squeeze
So much to do and so many to please
But maybe im just, crazy and grew up to fast
This is heaven an hell all at once
This is all i got and all i'd want
But like a lost soul i will, wonder the globe till this feelings gone
laura marling - crawled out of the sea
Oh, you crawled out of the sea,
straight into my arms,
straight into my arms...
laura marling - cross your fingers
Look down on the body, that you have grown
The mountains stand around you, they're not your own
Lights squares and bodies are all you see
Since you broke down, since I broke down, Since we broke down
Oh I jump into your grave and die
and on my word you'll give up your whole life for me and you'll be reborn, bigger and stronger
and less alive
oh oh oh...
Chorus:
Cross your fingers, hold your toes,
were all going to die when the building blows
cross your fingers hold your toes,
were all going to die when the building blows
and the house that you were born in is crumbling at the corners
sagging skin and feet of crows, feet of crows
Oh I jump into your grave and die
and on my word you'll give up your whole life for me and you'll be reborn, bigger and stronger
and less alive
oh oh oh ...
oh oh oh...
Oh you crawled out of the sea, straight into my arms, straight into my arms. (x 4)
laura marling - darkness descends
Your holding bits of styrofoam
With your face painted on to your friends
You listen to them whine and moan
About everything you can't understand
Can I just say I don't feel the light,
But darkness descends once more into my life
And suddenly we're all alone
In silence so I take a step away
I look up to the falling snow
As it makes its home upon my face
Well I wouldn't want to ruin something I couldn't save
The gap will keep us safe, the gap will keep us safe
Step away, get me when I'm down
And suddenly I'm 5 years old
And I'm just so cold I want to cry
I haul up on my gentlemen
Who have always been there in hard times
They're just not like that man of mine
Who visits me from time to time
My love, I treasure you
I hear that summers coming back
So I stretch out my back and travel on
The winter though it darkens me
It is pure and clean and all I want
Ill apologise to the ones I love
For leaving them when the sun comes up
Too bright for me, darkens descends
Oh well I'm not well again and once more darkness it descends
The ground is falling under me
And I cant find the means to leave
Convinced that I am going mad
Oh I bury my head into his hands
So sure that I am losing faith
Oh I clear a space in his fathers land
You deal with god far too young,
Before you know it your life has run away
laura marling - devil s spoke
I might be a part of this
Ripple on water from a lonesome drip
A fallen tree that witness me
I'm alone him and me
And life itself could not aspire
To have someone be so admired
I threw creation to my kin
My silence broken by a whispered wind
All of this can be broken
All of this can be broken
Hold the devil by his spoke
and spin him to the ground
And root to root and tip to tip
I look at him my country gyp
And let it up by all his fears
But someone brought you close to tears
Many trains and many miles
Brought cool to me on this sunny isle
water which you wish to speak
did you come here to rescue me?
All of this can be broken
All of this can be broken
Hold the devil by his spoke
and spin him to the ground
But the love of your life lives but lies no more
where she lies is where a flower grows
The arms are fed, the babes of when?
The backs are bled keeping her in turn
But I am your keeper
and I hold your face away from light
I am yours, still they come
I am yours, still they come
eye to eye, nose to nose
with your eyes shut closed in a most peculiar way
eye to eye, nose to nose
with your eyes shut closed in a most peculiar way
laura marling - don t ask me why
I choose to stay far away
From the ones that think
Money is money to share
Don't ask me why
And i'll tell you no lies
Sonny don't come here no more
He don't drink from this well
O he's done with the world
And done with the girl
And i don't ask him why
And he tells me no lies
Those of us who are lost and low
I know how you feel
I know it's not right but it's real
But it's real.
I don't ask for love
And i don't beg for money
I'm just asking for grace and forgiveness
Now honey don't ask me why
And i'll tell you no lies.
Been looking for answers
In unsavoury places
On the highest of mountains
And on the lowest of bases
And i still don't know why
I still don't know why.
Those of us who are lost and low
We know how you feel
We know it's not right but it's real
But it's real.
I took the wind from the sea
I took the blood from an arrow
I took the wisdom of spring
And i was thrown and blown and tossed and turned until
Time found its hand and called an end
Me and time we go way back when
I was a child
And i always knew why.
I knew my name
I knew my road
And i stayed away from heavy loads
I'm still, i'm low
O lord am i low
Those of us who are lost and low
We know how you feel
We know it's not right but it's real
But it's real.
laura marling - failure
He used to be a singer in a rock and roll band
he would write the songs and I'd tremble at his hand but oh, la laa
he lost poetic ethic and his songs were pathetic, and he's a failure now
he used to be the life and soul of everyone around
you'd never catch him looking up and never see him down but oh, la laa
he couldnt raise a smile oh not for a while and he's a failure now
dont cry child, you've got so much more to live for
dont cry child, you've got something I would die for
and if it come to the rain, just be glad you'll smile again
cause so many don't.
And so many go unamed
people push right past me shouting various claims
a preacher pushes me a side and asked to wash my sins i said no, la laa
if he made me in his image, then hes a failure too
and I used to need a couple o people keep my head down
now I need a whole lot more to keep me on the ground but oh, la laa
I gave up something and i gave it up for nothing and I am failure now
dont cry child, you've got so much more to live for
dont cry child, you've got something i would die for
and if it come to the rain, just be glad you'll smile again
cause so many don't.
And so many go unamed
laura marling - flicker and fail
Took a bus to meet me in a bar in a Tuscan hill
Oh a sight I'd never seen, I believe in God still
But you wouldn't be able to stop me if I feel like running away
Wouldn't be able to stop me if I didn't want to stay
And the rain fell on the houses
And on the late swaying trees
It fell its fiercest on the skulls of the willingly deceived
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God
Said he'd been sleeping lonely, spending nights under the stars
Little darling, we're all lonely, we don't all show our scars
It's my heart, and my burden, and I would never bring you down like that
My heart, my burden, I would never bring you down with me
And the rain fell on the towers and on the late swaying trees
And it hammered and it raged on us unwillingly
And the believers were forewarned, and they ran into the storm
And watched the earth's light flicker and fail
Watched the earth's light flicker and fail
Flicker and, flicker and fail
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God
laura marling - ghosts
He walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet
Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
Sat at the table where she sat
And removed his hat
In respect of her presence
Presents her with the pictures and says
?These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you.
These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you?
He opened up his little heart
Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
And read a written warning
Saying ?I?m still mourning
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you?
Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It?s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It?s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
He says ?I?m so lost,
Not at all well?
Do as though there is nothing left to be
Turned out I?d been following him and he?d been following me
Do as though after it was over
We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulders
He?d gone crazy at nineteen
Said he?d lost all his self esteem
And couldn?t understand why he was crying
He would stare at empty chairs
Think of the ghosts that once sat there
The ghosts who broke his heart.
All the ghosts that broke my heart
The ghosts that broke his heart
All the ghosts that broke my heart
the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts
The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you
Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It?s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
Lover, please deny
Fall to your knees
It?s not
Like I ever believed in
Everlasting love
He says ?I?m so lost,
Not at all well?
Do as though there is nothing left to be
Turned out I?d been following him and he?d been following me
Do as though after it was over
We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulders
Do as though there is nothing left to be
Turned out that I?d been following him and he?d been following me
Do as though after it was over
We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulders
Lover please do not
Fall to your knees
It?s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
Lover please do not
Fall to your knees
It?s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
laura marling - goodbye england
You were so smart then in your jacket and coat
My softest red scarf was warming your throat
Winter was on us at the end of my nose
But I never love England
More than when covered in snow
But a friend of mine says it's good to hear
That you believe in love even if set in fear
well I'll hold you there brother and set you straight
I wont make believe that love is frail
And willing to break
(Chorus)
I will come back here, bring me back when I'm old
I want to lay here forever in the cold.
I might be cold but I'm just skin and bones
And I never love England
More than when covered in snow
I wrote my name in your book, only god knows why
And I bet you that he cracked a smile
And I'm clearing all the stuff out of my room
trying desperately to figure out
What it is that makes me blue
and I wrote in a big letter to you
And it's 22 pages front and back
And it's too good to be used
and I tried to be a girl who likes to be used
I'm too good for that
There's a mind under this hat and I
Called them all and told them i've got to move
I'm out man , it's too hard
Feel like running, feel like running
Running off.
And we will keep you, we will keep you little one
Safe from harm, like an extra arm
You are part of us.
You were so smart then in your jacket and coat
and my softest red scarf was warming your throat
Winter will leave us, left the end of my nose
So goodbye old England 'till next years snow
