recorded this one playing & singing simultaneously because this song is very out of time
lyrics
I've never done this before,
Slipping out of the track of this record player
Careful with the needle, baby --
Some things are sharper than others
Never had faith in superstition
Anyway, I need this umbrella
Can't you see, it's raining over my bed
You said,
Trust me
Trust me with everything you need to say,
it must be,
must be the love you never gave away
So here, dear
Here
You can cut me open, break me apart,
take the hope in this little heart
But then
you gotta make me a promise to put me together again
Oh, you said, way out west in Arizona,
Trust me
Trust me with everything you need to say,
it must be,
must be the love you never gave away
So here, dear
Here
You can cut me open, break me apart,
take the hope in this little heart
But then
you gotta make me a promise to put me together again
I'm not fragile,
I'm not broken
Baby, I just leave too much unspoken
You know, honesty was easier
when I didn't think my dreams could come true
I've never done this before
but I'm in love with you,
with you,
with you,
you, you.
A revelation of a recording. This track is already amazing, and this take on it wrests the trademark Mountain Goats "relentless hope" into yet another beautiful shape. What a track. What an album. aquazume
A stunning album that feels at once retro and throwback and also immediate and modern. Speaks to the moment it stemmed from and feeling vital years on. bandfan25
