Beth Orton – Stolen Car
‘When every line speaks the language of love It never held the meaning I was thinking of’
‘When every line speaks the language of love It never held the meaning I was thinking of’
‘I can see a fireside turn blue’
Gray shadows and white meadows, a bitter snow is falling My legs fail me, the ground hails me, distant lights are calling Into your hideout, into your hideout now, Into your hideout, Tearing my heart out now
‘I’ll be a shadow in the cedar room And leave just a memory alone with you’
‘Due to lack of interest, tomorrow is cancelled’
‘I would walk through the tall grass Let the milkweeds pull at me and sometimes I would bleed’
‘Love is a dress that you made long To hide your knees’
“I’m a spoiled child of the great imperalist state I cannot kill my meat nor grow the food upon my plate”
‘Here come the flies so shut your mouth (discard the girl) Here come the flies so shut your mouth (discard the girl)’
There’s a girl that wants to stop Been thinking about having a couple of kids Comb a brush around their heads in the morning To be needed, simply and with meaning
‘We nibble and jest about things that drain and the taste of lust’
How do you say good night to An answering machine?
‘Avenues all lined with trees Picture me and then you start watching Watching forever Forever, watching love grow’
‘You had to send a wrecking crew after me…’
