The Decemberists: The Engine Driver

Lyrics:

I'm an engine driver
On a long run, on a long run
Would I work beside her
She's a long one, such a long one

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

I'm a country lineman
On a high line, on a high line
So will be my grandson
There are powerlines in our bloodlines

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
My bones

I'm a money lender
I have fortunes upon fortunes
Take my hand for tender
I am tortured, ever tortured

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
I am a writer, I am all that you have home
Home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
My bones

(And if you don't love me let me go)
And if you don't love me let me go
(And if you don't love me let me go)
And if you don't love me let me go

Andy Yorke: Angel

Lyrics:

he built the windows high
said it would last forever
he'd stare all night at the empty sky
to keep his thoughts together

to see the angel once again

she came to him back when
his life was full of promise
and he swore that he had only needed then
swore it would last forever

to see the angel once again
to see the angel once again

you wouldn't let her go
he thought it would last forever
she said that his love was a dead mans love
draining the life from another

to see the angel once again
to see the angel once again
to see the angel once again

and if you're gonna live your life like that
it's gonna let you down
and if you're gonna live your life like that
it's gonna let you down
and if you're gonna live your life like that
it's gonna let you down
and if you're gonna live your life like that
it's gonna let you down

and you won't see the angel once again
to see the angel once again

Andy Yorke: Building

Lyrics:

i'm in a city, where the people help each other to their beds,
say what you want, say what you want.
complete the picture, with a girl who only listens to the dead,
say what you want, say what you want,
and did I choose to be the one who is left,
or is this something sinister?
and is this proof against my ignorance,
or am I meant to waste away?

complete the picture, with a girl who only listens to the dead,
praise to them please, say what you want.
say what you want, (say what you want) and reverance can wait (?)
say what you want, (say waht you want) and now I should behave
just talk

trapped in a building, with the ghosts of all the people I've betrayed.
say what you want, say what you want.
and there's no reason, to step out into a nation that won't see me.
say what you want, say what you want.
and is this proof against my ignorance,
or am I meant to waste away?
and did I choose to be the one who is left,
or is this something sinister?
say what you want, say what you want.
say what you want, say what you want.
say what you want ,say what you want.
say what you want, say what you want.

Thom Yorke: Cymbal Rush

Lyrics:

Try to save it but it doesn't come off the rock
Try to build a wall that is high enough

It's all boiling over a
All boiling over

Try to save your house
Try to save your songs
Try to run
But it follows you up a hill

It's all boiling over
All boiling over
Your little voice
Your little voice

No more conversation
No more conversation
You should took me out when you had the chance
You should took me out when you had the chance
All the rooms were numbered
And the losers turned away
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
