Kevin Devine - The City Has Left You Alone Lyrics
Neurotic intellectual
Emotionally unavailable
You're everything you think you should be
But the truth is unavoidable
And every choice intentional
Darling, I don't mean to be mean
But you're see-through as see-thro...
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...
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 - 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

And that surprises everyone
I wanna be your instiga...
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...
Young Widows - Settle Down City Lyrics
Why'd you come around?
The city left you
Should've settled down
Why'd you come around?
The city left you

Should've settled down

Oscar/Kevin - Why You Left Me Lyrics
Morning wake up, alone, again
Dreamin' about you, alone, again
I saw her picture, alone, again
I started trying, alone, again
Why you left me? Why you left me? I was loving you
Why you left me? Why you left me? I could lie for ...
Kevin Morby - Flannery Lyrics
"Look!" Tarwater said suddenly, sitting forward his face close to the windshield. "We're headed in the wrong direction. We're going back where we came from. There's the fire again. The fire we left."

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...
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 - 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...
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...
Aloe Blacc - Soldier In The City Lyrics

Kevin Devine - Alabama Acres Lyrics
So there's hundreds of auburn Alabama acres
With rows of red roofs over warm farmer's daughters
Who've got no intention of inviting me in
Space shines all above me, so I settle myself under it

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 - 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 - 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

Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's ...
Kevin Morby - City Music Lyrics
Oh, that city music
Oh, that city sound
Oh, that city music
Oh, it's coming round
Oh, that city music
Oh, that city sound
Oh, how you're pulling my heart strings and
Oh, let's go downtown
Oh, that city m...
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...
Kevin Devine - She Stayed As Steam Lyrics
All that music in your mouth
Rivers rushing at your teeth
Cresting waves through wading valleys
Flooded language tributaries
Collect and cover over me
Tensing jaw and cork screw eyelids
As if you couldn't bare to see

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."

The Immaculate Crows - In The City Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the city
I wandered around
Left with my anger
No friends around
[Verse 2]
Kicked out of discos
For not having shoes
Out of the womb
Left with the Blues
[Bridge]
In the city
I felt so alone
In the...
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 - Yr Damned Ol' Dad Lyrics

So bring your flask and bring your cross and bring you gun

Just wear your good shoes, cause we're going out my son

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."

Kevin Devine - Before You're Here Lyrics

Hopeful doubts and freckled face
The nurses call "Congratulations!"

Lou Doillon - Left Behind Lyrics

This emerald green
Life takes on so easy
And here our eyes shine bright
And smiles are free
And this golden light
It fits like a crown

And one could almost forget...
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

Strawberry Alarm Clock - Girl From The City Lyrics
Grew up in a great big city
That the people all called L.A.
I went to school in the great big city
And I learned all I know today
Yeah, I left the city tryin' to find the right girl for me
I went through mountains and the valley...
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...

I know you're underneath there
Waiting on an air supply
To feed your darkest secret
The one that's keeping us alive

We've traded places over time
Anger's only fear gone de...
