daboliliyvavi I'm not a person that makes impulsive purchases but after listening to the first song from the album(especially with the lyrics available, the non-native English speaker in me thanks you!) I just had to up and buy it, having listened to it in full I don't regret it. Beautiful and very vulnerable! And the last song, Favorite track: Nine Pints Of English Anchors.

I will survive, I'll keep the wolves and the worms outside I'll implode, adding up every minute I'm owed imprisoned by brutish youth and its backward rhythm but I'll survive you find me crying and I don't know why what's left to lose ? must I conjure the gospel of a grown and satisfied man from a bouquet of burdens, from some wild blossom blues ? beyond belief, oh the richness of rage and grief this is no kind of place to labour with grace come dawn what can you do but climb from the crater 'cause love draws you on way out beyond belief
2.
oh god it's gonna hurt, going home is gonna hurt oh god you're looking good , working on your work oh don't you think I know that we're just about done ? some girls just want to have fun we're fucked and it doesn't mean a thing do what you want but don't ever ever touch me again all I want to do is get high like my dad might have done all I want to do is get high and wake up with the wrong man all I want to do is get high and take a train downtown all I want to do is get high and get you out of my life all I want to do is get high and apologize

we're fucked and it don't mean a thing I never said I would be a wise king look at me, I was just lucky I tried to change my mind but I just want to be kissed all the time look at me, I'm still kind of pretty I need more than I thought more than sobering slipknots I'm out of my mind am I out of my mind ? a failed pilgrim with a face full of sun in a funeral band , in the full flame of love and one fine day it won't be enough and the deal that we made will break one of us one fine day it won't be enough I go to work like a prince crying for my old port and stinking of wild mint look at me, I make it look easy but I wonder how to make it pay can't I just stay here and empty your ashtrays ? you and me , that would be dreamy I'm shiny like candy I'm a hotdogging dandy I'm out of my mind am I out of my mind ? I'm not a child , I'm just into astrology right now am I out of my mind? I don't care if it's not enough because you're all that I want

I robbed with good intentions I robbed and weathered a reckoning in my own home I robbed and reaped a fate, or rather a fortune and I won't let go in my infinite wisdom I suppose I knew I'd never make it on my own and now the whole thing hangs on a nicotine patch and the goodwill of my god damn bones I watched my father lose it all and I didn't learn a thing as he cursed and called nine pints of unspent anger untold love righteous whispers and English anchors hanging over my head just waiting to fall I do not understand you, I do not know the way to teach what I was taught is it good enough if we just survive until the end of the day ?

how you gonna get all of us out alive ? I'll get the band back together by the old beehive one good kick and the coals catch fire if you don't dance this time brother you won't survive how you gonna keep us warm ? I'll tell the story of the green and the gold and the honey in the pines I'll find something to burn I'll send you a sign don't I hold my own, did I lose my mind I been here before, worked all my life taking water to the river and wood to the fire let me shake another demon out of this bag let me bind that wound with weeds and rags I got a problem a carolina shag might fix rock me honey, wrap me in your flag I'm nothing but a big dumb dog wild about the ones I love wide awake when it all goes wrong ready to walk with all of you anywhere anywhere we might belong

standing in the iron of a railroad bridge a trail of cold mud, a moonlit ridge but the falling snow will keep it all hid a bad memory whatever we did just kids in trouble trying to make it look right but the deal's been changed, glory denied go cry to mommy, go rot on the vine go take your tiny hammers to the coconut mines take that mess and remember it right the whole foul anthem, sing it in the light bring me in , don't leave us here to lie in the storm's blind eye I saw you win like everyone else it rang through the city like a stolen brass bell all this time and you're still the same you take all of the pride and none of the shame you might be forgiven if you bothered to ask a dime of redemption won't settle the past when it's written , official and understood despite all of our cruelty the living was good
