the shins - 40 mark strasse
Is it all so very simple
and horribly complex?
You?re suffering a thimble and
there?s nothings coming next.
Your mom smokes in the kitchen.
Her voice a cutting drone.
They?re creeping out.
You?ve passed the bar,
your father?s second home
that leaves you on your own.
Nights I?d often watch you
float across the grounds
out the gate
to the motorway.
What secrets have you found?
You had to know I wanted
something from you then.
Too young to know just what it was,
something more than a friend.
Is that you at the end?
Where you play
in the street at night
and blow like a broken kite.
My girl, you?ve given up the fight.
Are you going to let these Americans
put another dent in your life?
My mother says you?re dirty,
they?re going to find you dead,
but have you got that final chapter
writen in your head?
?Cause every single story
is a story about love.
Hope the overflowing cup
and the painful lack there of.
You?ve got the heart of a dove,
but you play
in the street at night
(in the street out at night)
and blow just like a broken kite.
(the broken kite)
My girl, you?ve given up the fight.
(given up the fight)
You have to lose these childish notions
if you?re going to let these American boys
put another dent in your life.

the shins - a call to apathy
Untie me, I've set my bow (this should be "I've said no vow")
The train is getting way too loud
I gotta leave here my girl
Get on with my lonely life
Just leave the ring on the rail
For the wheels to nullify
Until this turn in my head
Let you stay and you paid no rent
I spent twelve long months on the lamb
That's enough sitting on the fence
For the fear of breaking dams
I find a fatal flaw
In the logic of love
And go out of my head
You love a sinking stone
That'll never elope
So get used to the lonesome
Girl, you must atone some
Don't leave me no phone number there
It took me all of the year
To put the poison pill to your ear
But now I stand on honest ground, on honest ground
You want to fight for this love
But honey you cannot wrestle a dove
So baby it's clear
You want to jump and dance
But you sat on your hands
And lost your only chance
Go back to your hometown
Get your feet on the ground
And stop floating around
I find a fatal flaw
In the logic of love
And go out of my head
You love a sinking stone
That'll never elope
So get used to used to the lonesome
Girl, you must atone some
Don't leave me no phone number there
the shins - a comet appears
One hand on this wily comet,
Take a drink just to give me some weight,
Some uber-man I'd make,
I'm barely a vapor
They shone a chlorine light on,
A host of individual sins,
Let's carve my aging face off,
Fetch us a knife,
Start with my eyes,
Down so the lines,
Form a grimacing smile,
Close your eyes to corral a virtue,
Is this fooling anyone else?
Never worked so long and hard,
To cement a failure,
We can blow on our thumbs and posture,
But the lonely is such delicate things,
The wind from a wasp could blow them,
Into the sea,
With stones on their feet,
Lost to the light and the loving we need,
Still to come,
The worst part and you know it,
There is a numbness,
In your heart and it's growing,
With burnt sage and a forest of bygones,
I click my heels,
Get the devils in line,
A list of things I could lay the blame on,
Might give me a way out,
But with each turn,
It's this front and center,
Like a dart stuck square in your eye,
Every post you can hitch your faith on,
Is a pie in the sky,
Chock full of lies,
A tool we devise,
To make sinking stones fly,
And still to come,
The worst part and you know it,
There is a numbness,
In your heart and it's growing.
the shins - australia
Time to put the earphones on?
No!
Born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies,
All you want?s one more Saturday.
But look here, until then
They?re gonna buy your nice time
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
To the day.
You come in doing cartwheels
We all go out by ourselves
And your shape on the dance floor
Will have me thinking such filth and gauge my eyes.
You?d be damned to be one of us girl
Faced with a dodo?s conundrum
Ah, I felt like I could just fly
But nothing?ll happen every time I try.
A dual tone under wall
Selfish fool and hoped you?d save us all
Never dreamt of such sterile hands,
You keep them folded in your lap,
And raise them up to beg for scraps,
You know, he's holding you down,
With the tips of his fingers just the same,
You'll be pulled from the ocean,
But just a minute too late,
Or changed by a potion,
We?ll find a handsome young mate,
For you to love.
You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes,
You know you'll change your life for any ordinary Joe,
And though your night will go on,
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold.
Been in love since you were twenty-one,
You haven't laughed since January,
You try and make this up this is so much fun,
But we know it to be quite contrary.
Dare to be one of us, girl,
Facing the Andrum's conundrum,
Ah, I feel like I should just cry,
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin,
You?re humoring your cote,
You don't know how long I've been,
Watching the lantern dim,
Starved of oxygen,
So give me your hand,
And let's jump out the window.
the shins - bait and switch
I finally had all my ducks in a row,
Peace and quiet, the means of subtraction
And how she got in, I'm not sure that I know
Two weeks on and my spine was in traction,
My eyes in a basket...
Well, god, my heart is so out of phase,
And that kind of girl she nobody's daughter
I?m just not used to these powerful waves
She shallows the breath and I?m taking on water
What am I to do now?
I call on a beautiful wish with a moral compass
I better swim...
Hide from my psychic derailer,
Drive this car to the sea,
Spend the night as high as a cannon in a towering hemloch
But it's no use you can always be found
A creature of habit has no real protection
I'll tell her i leave if she don't settle down
She sees it?s a lie on closer inspection
Like everyone else does...
The running, a terrible chomp,
All this smoke in my eyes
I?m just a simple man
Cursed with an honest heart
Why?d she go and tear it all apart?
The running, a terrible chomp,
All this smoke in my eyes
I?m just a simple man
Cursed with an honest heart
Why?d she go and tear it all apart?
the shins - black wave
This goose is cooked, these tongues are tied,
Around the block and airborne blind,
But looking on the brighter side,
There's far less to which I?d be obliged,
In the meadow where the black breeze blows,
Where underneath the waves, you were most alone,
Can you hear a subtle, aching tone?
Through the water, through the Earth, trimmed up bone,
Looking on the brighter side,
Looking on the brighter side,
Looking on the brighter side,
Looking on the brighter side
the shins - bold city girls
you slide out at night to show your self
you need to hang yourself
under water and your cold friends
memorized a thousand lines and kissed your thousandth guy
none pack more than wood
so you wake up
the taste of the night before
has grown somehow
you memorize your make-up
you're free from their eyes
and all they laughed about
sailboats that never float and lids of lead
they hold your ego down
what's it take to bend the lens?
as someone who might just help you row
but never can amend the trends
towards the rocks
weilding the knives
beneath your breasts
and all your waves t
hey never break
within our sight
so come on
treat me right
if you could keep him
you'd dub him
the rock what aced them two to one
the powder from your empty boxes
resounds from your whole empty youth
and still you wake up
the taste of the night
the moon has grown somehow
you take off your make-up
you're free from their eyes
and all you laughed about
the shins - caring is creepy
I think i'll go home and mull this over
Before i cram it down my throat
At long last it's crashed, it's colossal mass
Has broken up into bits in my moat.
Lift the mattress off the floor
Walk the cramps off
Go meander in the cold
Hail to your dark skin
Hiding the fact you're dead again
Undeneath the power lines seeking shade
Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason
It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when you know we should fold
On rocks i dreamt of where we'd stepped
And the whole mess of roads we're now on.
Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is.
One day i'll be wondering how
I got so old just wondering how
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.
This is way beyond my remote concern
Of being condescending
All these squawking birds won't quit.
Building nothing, laying bricks.
the shins - eating styes from elephant s eyes
They want trash
They want you batting a lash
They eat styes from elephants' eyes
They're in touch
With there inner crutch
They wont stab but they'll grab
And that's just like the other
We got news
And we drown it in booze
We take lives from elephants' eyes
They're in bed
With their kids eating lead
It wont stop if you shop
With the lovers of bloodshed
I went to school, and saw slides
Of where I'm meant to be
We read time
Like a kid eating limes
We're in town we bees are let out
We get laughs
From an orgasmic plant
We're attached to the past
Cause our future's a black one
I went to school and saw slides
Of where I'm meant to be
the shins - fall of 82
I do relate to you in so many ways
But I didn't go through what you must have in those early days
You had to be strong at such a very young age
A new life on lemonade
So won't you listen to me now
There's something I never told you
And I'm about to try
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
You moved back in with us in the fall of '82
I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through
You told me that a downturn would eventually improve
And you were right, so I'm thanking you
So won't you listen to me now
There's something I never told you
And I'm about to try
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
Footholds eroding
Had you never been my friend
I wouldn't be quite what you see
I wouldn't be the man I am
Sister you've known me
Lost in a strange world
What has it shown me
What has it gone through
Sister you've known me
Been lost in a strange world
But has it shown me
What has it gone through
October chill in that old dusty town
Halloween came, I was still feeling down
Mama, lost my sweet tooth, what's the point in going 'round?
Your boy is losing count
Maybe try the lost and found
the shins - fighting in a sack
Just last night I woke from some unconscionable dream
And had it nailed to my forehead again
To keep this boat afloat
There are things you can't afford to know
So I save all my breath for the sails.
But you'll find those lingering voices
Are just your ego's attempt to make it all clean and nice
And make a moron out of you
Walking a bridge with weakening cables
Huddled up in fear and hate because we know our fate
And it's a lot to put us through.
Most ideas turn to dust
As there are few in which we all can trust
Haven't you noticed I've been shedding all of mind?
So let's abandon that track
And leave our fathers fighting in a sack
Cause we are way too wise-assed for that.
You might find some fools at your doorstep
Hustling the latest changes to the book
That's the strangest in an attempt to multiply
Marionettes on weakening cables
Huddled up with fear and hate
Because they know their fate and it's a lot to put them through.
We've taken on a climb
And it's long enough to put the best of us on our backs
Walking up a slide
And there are those we know who'd have us five miles off the track.
But you'll find those lingering voices
Are just your ego's attempt to make it all clean and nice
And make a moron out of you
Crossing the brindge on weakening cables
Huddled up with fear and hate because we know our fate
And it's a lot to put us through
the shins - for a fool
Young and bright
But now just a dim light
Off in the distance
A falling stone
Following the path
Of least resistance
If I still fight, it's just that I'm
Afraid I'll slide under that spell again
Taken for a fool
Yes, I was because I was a fool
Tell me what you do
I lost my way in shades of neither school
So many times
Caught up in my head at night
With a leash and a label
If I can learn
Anything from this, then I'd be like
The fox in the fable of
If I still fight, it's just that I'm
Afraid I'll fall into that spell again
The way we used to carry on
Is stuck in my head like a terrible song
Taken for a fool
Yes I was, and I was a fool
Following their rules
Guess I was a very honest tune
Taken for a fool
Yes I was, because I was a fool
the shins - girl inform me
Girl inform me all my senses warn me
Your clever eyes could easily disguise
Some backwards purpose
It's enough to make me nervous.
Do you harbor sighs, or spit in my eye
But your lips when we speak
Are the valleys and peaks of a mountain range on fire.
So let me walk these coals till you believe
I can cut the mustard well enough
Cause you know as soon as breathe we scrutinize
Unknown quotients, you must be using potions
How else could you tie my head to the sky
This new convection has left me wondering why
I can't concern myself with ordinary tripe.
Like what's this morning's paper got to say
And which brand of coffee to make
This is no umbrella to take into the wind
And before we begin is there nothing to kill this anxiety.
But your lips when we speak
Are the valleys and peaks of a mountain range on fire.
So let me walk these coals till you believe
I can cut the mustard well enough
Cause you know as soon as breathe we scrutinize
The paint away.
the shins - girl on the wing
One wound up punch of intuition
Lays flat my whole take on us.
You're the girl on the wing of a barnstormer
The tidal rabbit who came of age before her time.
We could have been so good-natured
If i'd relented when you insisted,
But we've been backed against
All nature's walls far too long.
You felt abandoned by me,
I recall the sunshine as you were melting
And though the comedy softens the fall
They still hear us with their ears to the wall.
I sold all my evil motives,
No icicles stuck in my hide.
I'm through with riddles, i know we're little
Just help me feel warm inside.
Before we take this ride and let it slide
Into the cracks where fall and winter collide.
I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love.
Remember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind.
We could have been so good-natured
If you'd relented when i insisted,
We take a week off, let the garden grow by itself
And let the gluttons fill themselves with all the worst of the gory ninties.
And though the comedy softens the fall, we still fall short.
Before we take this ride and let it slide
Into the cracks where fall and winter collide.
I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love.
Remember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind.
the shins - girl sailor
The gutter may profess its love,
Then follow it with hesitation,
But there are just so many of
You out there for rent
A stronger girl would shake this off in flight,
And never give it more than a frowning hour,
But you have let your heart decide,
Loss has conquered you,
You've won one too many fights,
Wearing many hats every time,
But you wont win here tonight,
You've made it through the direst of straits alright,
Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?
You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes,
And I cannot lecture you,
And does anything I say seem relevant at all?
You've been at the helm since you were just five,
While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger,
But, you've won one too many fights,
Wearing all of your clothes at the same time,
Let the good times end tonight,
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,
This time,
Just a moment or two from now,
Not a mind will retain even a trace,
Of the thoughts that I struggled to tell
And how our stack of cards just fell,
So settle this once and for all,
The light no longer shows the cracks around my door,
And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight,
You are not some saint who's above,
Giving someone a stroll through the flowers,
You've got so much more to dream of,
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,
This time,
This time,
This time.
