Playlist The Walkmen

the walkmen - 138th street

I hear that you got yourself a house
and all your friends you finally figured out
but you go out in the night til you got no place to go
I see you on the corner where you're trying to use the phone
and everyone will say you missed your chance
and everyone will say you've lost youre edge
but it's just something that you've heard about a thousand time before
and every time you're falling then you'll see me on the floor
and someday when you turn around
you'll take a wife, and start a life
it won't be long

I hear that you got yourself a job
and all your friends you finally nailed down
but you go out in the night till you got no place to go
something you aint doing right is haunting you at home
now we've been hanging round for quite a while
so let's get out of here and take a drive
on the parkway tonight
you can hear the engines roar
the flashing lights will nab you when you're driving your way home
and someday when you turn around you'll see the door is closing

the walkmen - all my great designs

Well I've been hearing things
Voices carry over water
Things I can't deny
Night after night
Night after night after night

My broken heart

You will know when you've been running around
You will know when you've been out on your own
It will haunt you night after night
Haunt you night after night

Well I've been seeing things
Lights are shining through my eyelids
All the great designs
Never make it out of my sleep

You will know when you've been running around
You will know when you've been out on your own
It will haunt you night after night
You can't hide what you know night after night

the walkmen - another one goes by

Is your skin your skeletons
Splinters my daydreams
Under surface see is it any seed
Shadows fly across the wall
I walk outside and try to see you right in front of me
Silhouette of something sweet and so bright

Don't know what to offer you I'm only broke and lonely
And another one goes, and another goes by
Sometimes when I step outside I see you standing right in front of me
And another one goes, and another one goes by

Don't know what to offer you
I'm only broke and lonely
And another one goes, and another one goes by
Sometimes when I walk outside I see it right in front of me and so
Bright
And another one goes
And another one goes
And another one goes
By

the walkmen - bows arrows

come on, come on let's have a song
the morning sun is soon to come
we don't have time to linger on

there comes a time, there comes a
time to make it right when I was wrong
and someday girl we'll get along.

Goodbye to all your plans
you can listen to me now
your head is bent out of shape
but your feet are on the ground
but all in all, the ceiling's coming down

I take my time to face the day
it's good to hear you talk this way
so we'll keep this up as friend
this time, nothing's wrong
I'll stand up as I'll shake your hand,
we'll be alright

Then I'll do it all again

That man he is a fraud, but nobody gives a damn
and then all and all, they'll all beweighing in

can I sleep on your floor tonight
give me some time to set this right
where's your head, there's nothing for you here, nothing's wrong
take a look around and you'll see it clear

Come on come on let's get things done, the morning sun has come and
gone, get up, get out and move along
there comes a time, there comes a time, to make it right when I was
wrong and someday girl we'll get along.

the walkmen - canadian girl

You are the morning
I am the night
I was the only one
Left at the right time

And only Iâ?¦
â?¦Still call you mine
Only Iâ?¦.
â?¦Still hanging on

Blown by a strong wind
But it we feared
All that you said to me
Is still so very clear

So take my hand
All the players in the band
They can always find
Always find some number that we know

You will be asleep
When I go
And the happy the news
It will carry on
You are the morning
I am the night
I was the only one
Left at the right time

And only I..
â?¦Still call you mine
Only Iâ?¦
â?¦Still hanging on

the walkmen - clementine

you might say you give in, youâ??re sick of this
you might say youâ??d give up, youâ??ve had enough

but you know that ainâ??t true when youâ??re locked in your room.
you got bored and honey that makes two of us

the walkmen - don 039 t be long

Don't be long so I hear
From her mouth as she's going on
On and on as the land's shaking.
Hey now, don't look so upset.
Hey now, let's get out of bed.
Gone on, gone on, let yourself out and don't call me again if your arm's twisted
Hey now, don't look so upset.
Hey now, let's go get dressed.
You say that's all, where'd â?¦
And it's way too familiar
You say don't go, no and no,
You were placing a prank call
Working an angle.

the walkmen - everyone who pretended to like me is gone

because he knows
our romeo
he can't climb back
he swings in loopholes
when he goes through the air
their vengeance will stretch out

i made the best of it

this velvet rope
has fell before
in vain
clothing crashing the floor
insane
worse than once thought

i made the best of it

the walkmen - french vacation

Ive left my friend

but he never showed up
but he speaks french he's fine
and I'm..

where did you go;
where did you go
I should have known
I should have known
hey I'm glad you've finally cought up
just go get a lounge;
been drank on my own
hey whered you go?

hey where'd you go?
I remember when all our plans were to meet at home
where'd you go?
where'd you go?

the walkmen - girls at night

You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
I know
We've been through this before
Can't you hear me?
I'm pounding on the wall

When I used to go out I knew everyone I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all
I know
We've been through this before
Can't you hear me?
I'm beating at your door

the walkmen - hang on siobhan

I'll be back tomorrow that is if you're here and you
promise to keep it
between you and me
it's all just a dream man it's all just a dream
I've been up half the night so get off it or leave
we're singing a song we don't care if we're wrong, have a drink on each
other, and call it a day
you're calling me back, when the money is gone, that's all and for us
that's as good as it got
it's 4 in the morning the bars are unloading,
I go to the window and put down the shade
you're calling me back, yeah but that was no good,
I got tired of it
day after day after day
so hang on Siobhan, you're a mystery to me but you don't hear me asking around
so hang on, we're coming on soon, it's so hard to get through to you
hang on, we're coming on soon,
we're waiting to hear it from you
hang on. hang on!

the walkmen - heartbreaker

I have no business asking you the words
I know the reason you exaggerate
I know the answers to all your demands
I have no secrets.

I'm not your heartbreaker, some tender ballet play
I'm not your heartbreaker.

These are the good years, are the best we'll ever know
This golden light years.

I'm not your heartbreaker, some tender ballet play,
I'm not your heartbreaker.

You know I'm hopeless,
Oh no, I know you're all wrong
It's not the singer, it's the song
You know I'm helpless
Oh no, no, you're all wrong
It's not the singer, it's the song.

On these short days like the Chinese stars
Let's dance in our uniforms
These are the good years, are the best we'll ever know
This golden light years.

I'm not your heartbreaker, some tender ballet play
I'm not your heartbreaker.
I'm not your heartbreaker, some tender ballet play
I'm not your heartbreaker.
I'm not your heartbreaker.

the walkmen - heaven

Our children will always hear
The romantic tale of distant years
Our gilded age may come and go,
Our crooked dreams that always glow.
Stick with me, oh, you're my best friend
All of my life you'll always be.

Remember, remember,
All we fight for
Remember, remember,
All we fight for.

Don't leave me, oh,
You're my best friend
All of my life you'll always be.
Don't leave me now,
You're my best friend
All of my life you'll always be.

Remember, remember,
All we fight for
Remember, remember,
All we fight for.

the walkmen - in the new year

Oh, I'm still living
At the old address
And I'm waiting on the weather
That I know will pass

I know that it's true
It's gonna be a good year
Out of the darkness
And into the fire
I tell you I love you
And my heart's in the strangest place

That's how it started
And that's how it ends

Well I know you're with me
It's a point of pride
And it's louder than lightning
In this room of mine

Oh, I'm just like you
I never hear the bad news
And I never will
We won by a landslide
Our troubles are over
My sisters are married to all of my friends
Yeah, that's how it started

You took your sweet time
And I waited by without complaint
Til all the pipe dreams made me insane

So it's all over
It's all over anyhow
You took your sweet time
Finally, I opened my eyes

My friends and my family
They all ask me one thing
Ã?â??How long will you rambleÃ?â?
How long will you stay with me
The snow is still falling
I'm almost home
I'll see you in the new year

the walkmen - it should take a while

Found out
Not just now... no
I just know it's not, your good time.
I'm wrong. Even now, I'm Wrong. Even Now
Even now, ...
I don't care that much right now
I'm a mess. I can't get out.
That's the last thing.
I... I can see for the worst anyway.
This could be time for us.
This could be time for us.

It's been fun, let's leave it at that.
Goodnight, sure it's been a long time.
Let's not push our luck this time.
Let's not push our luck this time.

Goodnight, sure it's been a long time.
That'll be enough for tonight.
Let's not push our luck this time.

I wasted hours. I'll forgive.
The hard luck. I'll accept it.
I hope you won't think of it.
I hope you won't think of it.
