Kevin Devine - Fiscal Cliff Lyrics
Talkin' shit about a "fiscal cliff"
A lot of effort at imagining
A situation, even a crisis
Just a distraction from the main event:
They gave you credit
Then cut your card up
Gave you a student loan but there'...
Cliff Richard - The Touch Of Your Lips Lyrics
The touch of your lips upon my brow
Your lips that are cool and sweet
Such tenderness lies in their soft caress
My heart forgets to beat
The touch of your hands upon my hair
The love in your eyes a shine
And now at last, the moment...
The Fratellis - I Am That Lyrics
Talk with me in your vacant tones
Take my heart in your bare hands, keep it beating
I never wanted anything but this
I never saw myself fading or repeating
So help me God I was sold
A promise from a liar
Religion for a blindf...

You're up with the sunrise
And down when the work's been done
Your excellence industry
Diligence naturally
I would like to be you
Just for a few habit-forming years
Laziness cuts me l...
Chris De Burgh - Love Of The Heart Devine Lyrics
And he laid her down in a field of corn
and the sun was on his back
up above there was a clear blue sky
she held him by the hand
She had known him since they both were young
he'd been always in her life
and the first time that he had ...
Kevin Devine - For Eugene Lyrics
My neighbors came to me
They asked if I would leave
I've got nowhere to go
I've got nowhere to go
My father built this place
In 1928
I've got nowhere to go
I've got nowhere to go
Where would I be?
My li...
Kevin Devine - No One Else's Problem Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was consumed with proving you were a liar
But what good would that do?
We both know the truth;
We were there and we lived it
But then we kept rewriting and revising it
Rehashing and repeating
It was bad for us b...
Kevin Devine - What's Keeping Us Young Lyrics
Now you're in the mirror
Sketched over me
My curve of my smile
And the cut of my teeth
Gave me a mouth back
With heat in my blood
Courage to carry it
I hope you gave me enough
I learned from my mother
Her heart is sha...
Kevin Devine - Little Bulldozer Lyrics
Some nights, I bolt and sleep in the car
From the hood, talk at your face in the stars
I tell you versions of everything
We share a smoke in the dark
I need you c-c-c-closer, Little Bulldozer
Wake up - I'm nowhere, drifting d...
Kevin Devine - Bloodhound Lyrics
When I was a boy
I dreamt like a man
I knew something was coming
And I should be waiting
I was assured
The ground wouldn't hold
All those nights in my bunk bed
Learning to float
That's how I got here
With a broke...
Kevin Devine - Private First Class Lyrics
Private Manning standing in a court room
Pleading guilty; she shouldn't have to
Truth be told, she should be floating down parade routes
But - the truth WAS told, and what good did that do?
If it was you
You might wish you...
Kevin Devine - 11-17 Lyrics
I thought I was in love
It felt like it from close up
But someplace to spill my blood
Was all it ever was
I felt I was in debt
Each night spent in your bed
A dream I let drop dead
And never had again
You were the moon ...
Kevin Devine - You Are The Daybreak Lyrics
It's going straight to my head:
I think I'm falling in love again
Such simple miracles have happened
Since your steady hands have come and stopped my unraveling
Your fingers, built for the piano
Work out the knots tha...
Kevin Devine - Working In Quiet Lyrics
I go to the places where you are
I find you hanging out
I paste my eyes wide open
And I turn everything inside out
I am turning into everything I hate
And you are graceful and absolutely fake
I am fake
I hear you laughing, am ...
Kevin Devine - Harvest Moon Lyrics
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away
But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's ...
Kevin Devine - Guard Your Gates Lyrics
You were savaged and shook by the cretinous crooks in your crib
On the 5th of July, all that grease from the night on your lids
From the crypt of your room, drilled a hole in the moon, where you hid
'Til your power supply shorted...
Cliff Richard - Really Waltzing Lyrics
Is...this...me here, really waltzing?
Is this me here, being so square?
Although I know this kind of mu-sic
Makes me sick and you sick
Still I'm aware...
Yeah, it's me here, really waltzing
To a Viennese one-two-three
An...
Longward - Spotting Owls Lyrics
I try to keep a safe distance
While I watch the rise and fall of an empire
Too soon to tell from the faint reflexive pulse
Though we proclaim that this algorithm will work
To supply us with an infinite
Collage of empirical evidence
But it ...
Kevin Devine - Couldn't Be Happier Lyrics
Out in the crosswalk
Reeling after you
Shot through with a soft shock
Rescued and renewed
The world still showed sharp teeth
Angled at our throats
But you said, "We're an army
And I won't let them close."

alexthomasdavis - From The Top Lyrics
From the top looking down
All the faces slide off
Like the cliff that's by the town
All the seagulls drop off
From the top looking down
All the seagulls drop off
Like the wind that shifts around
All the water drifts off
From th...

VERSE 1
At first we step into the garden of our life alone.

The fool and innocence, we gather and we crawl.

Kevin Devine - Wait Out The Wreck Lyrics
I don't do that shit to myself anymore
I keep it away from me
I don't want to live like I'm dead anymore, so
Keep that away from me
We broke all the bread
Argued through every side, now
What's there to do but...
Kevin Devine - Matter Of Time Lyrics
Sunday was short and slow and lovely
Slept in past noon, woke up, made coffee
And somewhere between the sheets and shower
We talked about the son and daughter
That we don't have but imagined at our side
Well, it's onl...
Kevin Devine - Sleepwalking Through My Life Lyrics
Some days stand up
Fixed at attention
Some days race by too fast to mention
Those days I wonder if I'll ever get it right
Sleepwalking through my life
Sometimes I'm sure
Most times less certain
If anything's ...
Kevin Devine - Safe Lyrics
"You can't hurt me forever, James
If that's what you're trying."
Your mother, the Capricorn
Warned your father, the Lion
While you from your bleacher seat
Texted, "Hey Brian
I'm changing my min...
Kevin Devine - Before You're Here Lyrics
Watch your mother in the ocean
Hopeful doubts and freckled face
The nurses call "Congratulations!"
So now you're both alive on every wave
I love you before // you're even here
You're even here // with m...
Kevin Devine - The Only One Lyrics
I am the only one that thinks I'm going crazy
And I don't know what to do
And I am the only son of a pastor I know
Who does the things I do
But if it was you
I don't think that it would matter
And if it was true

Kevin Devine - I Used To Be Someone Lyrics
Fix your eyes at middle distance
Rich queens, fur fezes, twin ridiculous
Avenue of the Americas
Between 45 and 46
Debt clock married to its uptick
A trillion brilliant blinking digits
Oh, the overwhelming evidence
Incontrov...
Demented Are Go - Satan's Rejects Lyrics
Satan's rejects
Nobody's slave nobody's fool
Nobody's tool nobody's judge
Kicked out of Hell 'cause they were too bad
Kicked out of Hell 'cause they were too good
Fall down a cliff
Impale your heart ...
Kevin Devine - The Worm In Every Apple Lyrics
Seems like every bird I see sings her siren song for me
Though there's music sounding sweetly in my home
And I admit I get confused by each arbitrary muse
But every dog is duty bound to chase his bone
Seems like everywhere I lo...
Kevin Devine - I Can't Believe You Lyrics
I know you're underneath there
Waiting on an air supply
To feed your darkest secret
The one that's keeping us alive
You blame me; I don't blame you
We've traded places over time
Anger's only fear gone de...
Kevin Devine - Both Ways Lyrics
You can't be the bully
Then conveniently claim you're oppressed
Can't blow people's countries apart
And demand that they clean up the mess
Can't be a bank baron oligarch
Then plead, "brother, spare...
Kevin Devine - Redbird Lyrics
Daydream dying
Covered corners, jigsaw mind
Black site
Flood lights
Halls of hornets
My oh my
It's getting weirder
Than I projected
It's saying something
In all directions:
"I held the fear in my mouth
I...
Kevin Devine - Nobel Prize Lyrics
Are you a nightmare or an oracle
Unavoidable?
Are you the future, or a plausible
Worst-case scenario?
You've visited in my sleep
Every night this week
Curled yourself in my lap
And smiled while you spoke:
"Once we&...
Kevin Devine - From Here Lyrics
The car went quiet and dark as we crept close
The sand was plowed into piles like snow
My friend got heavy and far as we crept close
Flooded houses, destruction in rows
He's from here
So words don't cover it
He's ...
Dornik - Mountain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Girl I stare and I see heaven in your eyes
I know what you're thinking, the stakes are so high
But I can love you unconditionally, so patiently I wait 'til you can see
Just how great things could really be betwee...
Kevin Devine - Bubblegum Lyrics
Dug your shoulder into mine
To see if I was there
Constellated candles trapped a ghost in
Union Square
A sea of street novenas
We had names for every one
That one's Gabriel
That one's Bubblegum
There's Another...
Issue No. 108 - Te iubesc Lyrics
Te iubesc cum n-am iubit
Ne vedem la rasarit
Ziua ce vine poate devine
Prima zi in care sigur ai iubit
Pare ca ai o mie de defecte
Dar toate pentru mine sunt perfecte
Am ascultat de mine si n-am gresit
Fiindca te-am gasit
Tot ce ...
Kevin Devine - You Are My Sunshine Lyrics
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke dear, I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'l...
Kevin Devine - Instigator Lyrics
I keep it dumb, do it just like you tell me to
I draw it straight as I possibly can
I come as close to the truth as I ever do
I take some liberties
I am what I am
[Chorus]
And that surprises everyone
I wanna be your instiga...
