Blessing Curse
03:44
|
|||
It’s a blessing it’s a curse
Take a look around it’s getting worse
Better yet lets all forget about it anyway
It’s a treat or it’s a trick
Either way it’s politics
If that’s what you said it’s not what you said to me yesterday
I could never tell, I could never tell, I could never, I could never tell you just what it feels like to never know
It doesn’t happen ever day if they let it happen anyway
Try to change my mind
You can take a moment still, you got time
I could never tell, I could never, I could never tell you just what it feels like to never know
I could never sleep I could never tell you just what it feels like to never know
Keep on believing me that’s what they say
Keep on bleeding me, it’s one more day

Alceste in Silverlake
Alceste in Silverlake
Alceste does it again
Don’t burden me with gimmicks and your frontmen and flash
Alceste does it again
If you’re all show and no go I know we’re gonna clash
Alceste does it again
All you wanna be stars need not apply
I’m not a dramatic guy
It’s one more reason why this saves some time
(He’s really busy)
It saves you time
(Like, busy busy)
It saves me time
I’ll probably run this ad forever
Try to read before we get together
My cat made me do it
But we probably wouldn’t be a good fit.
Alceste in Silverlake
Alceste in Silverlake
Alceste in Silverlake
Alceste in Silverlake
Alceste at it again
I’m not one of these guys who drives out to Van Nuys
Get a hired gun
Don’t take it personally but I’m not the one
Alceste say it again
I’m the most direct guy in all of L.A.
He just wanna play
98% won’t hear from me anyway,
I say what I think and I think what I say in Silverlake!
“On est t’il bien dans le seicle nous sommes,
non, elle est generale est je hais tous les hommes”
Don’t make me move my car
Don’t make me move my car
Don’t make me move my car
Don’t make me move my
Don’t make me move my
It probably wouldn’t be a
good fit from the start
Don’t make me move my car
Don’t make me move my car
Don’t plan to go too far
No matter where you are, I like Silverlake
I like Silverlake
I like Silverlake
It’s all right here in Silverlake
I like Silverlake
I like Silverlake
I’m never leaving, I’m never leaving Silverlake
Obsessed with
Alceste in Silverlake
I’m never leaving, I’m never leaving Silverlake
Don’t make me leave it, I’m never leaving Silverlake
Obsessed with
Alceste in Silverlake
I’m never leaving, I’m never leaving Silverlake
I’d reconsider if we got a lucky break, but I’m probaby never
I’m never leaving Silverlake

Do It Without Me
04:14
|
|||
I get another reason every day not to get a little closer, to go away
People think I’m teasin’ but they’d be wrong so the only thing that I can do is move along
You’ll have to do it without me
You’ll have to do it without me this time
You’ll have to do it without me
You know, it isn’t hard to find out what I’m looking for
If you could change my mind about what I knew before
It isn’t hard
How many times are you gonna sell me out and assume it’s fine? I’m from a completely different world than you and a different time
You just keep on doing what you do, keep on looking right
I just hope that everyone can see, at least tonight
You’ll have to do it without me
You’ll have to do it without me this time
You’ll have to do it without me
And I hope you won’t and I hope you don’t
You know, it isn’t hard to find out what I’m looking for
If you could change my mind about what I knew before
I’d be a different person then and we’ll deal with that if/when
What’s it gonna take? What’s it gonna take to catch this mistake?
What’s it gonna take to catch this mistake in time?
(Spoiler: they didn’t catch it!)

I Got a Feelin'
02:40
|
|||
So listen I just gotta say something. I gotta set the record straight. I mean, I’m totally fine with your decision and it actually works out great. But I just wanted to hang up so bad if I sounded a little nice. It’s just the kind of person I am, it’s almost a vice.
But I get the feeling it’s not “time” it’s the fact that I can’t read your mind
And I get the feeling it’s not me, it seems pretty consistent with the person you seem to be
Ok so look, I didn’t know this was such a big deal. I was not trying to impose. I mean you asked me to be here so how the fuck was I supposed to know? But if you can’t handle it though, that’s totally fine. I totally get it, I just wanna get one thing straight, there won’t be a next time.
Cause I get the feelin it’s just you
They can’t pay me enough to be in that room
I get the feelin it’s what you do and it’s just so pathetic that no one will mess with you.
I got a feelin. I got a feelin and I think I’m right.

Bigger Picture
02:49
|
|||
It’s been going on for a year, and I think I gotta make it clear. We’ve been heading this way for some time but I think I gotta dry the line cause I don’t think that you can see the bigger picture. I don’t think that you can see the bigger picture that I’m right in the middle of.
I don’t think you should take offense, we’re just living in the present tense.
Not the first, it won’t be the last so I think we better just get past this cause
I don’t think that you can see the bigger picture. I don’t think that you can see the bigger picture that I’m right in the middle of.
We can talk about or we can never speak of it again, I don’t see a different outcome in the end, but let’s still be friends
I don’t think that you can see the bigger picture. I don’t think that you can see the bigger picture that I’m right in the middle of.

Poor Gilles
04:20
|
|||
“There’s got to be a party, and it’s got to be true” and everyone wants to know, which one was you? Poor Gilles
Did you actually say that to folks who loved you? What did you want instead? What did you do? Poor Gilles
Everybody feels this way sometimes. Yeah, everybody feels this way sometimes but it never feels that way in your mind
Did you ever see her ever again? She floated away but you think of her now and then. And would you want to ask her where she went that day? When you found that letter, what would it say? Poor Gilles, poor Gilles

Out of My Mind
05:51
|
|||
So this is it, that’s where it ends. Nothing much to lose, we weren’t really friends. Cut it off before it begins, it seems like everybody wins
I’ve been thinking about it and what’s on the other side but I was outta my mind at the time, but at least it was something for something
It’s so funny the things that you find out later, I was outta my mind, I was outta my mind at the time
2nd verse, it’s gotten worse. Hanging on the line to hear you say it first
Note to self beware what you sign for all time throughout the universe
I’ve been thinking about it and what’s on the other side
I was outta my mind at the time, but at least it was something for something
It’s so funny the things that you find out later, I was outta my mind, I was outta my mind at the time
