You are Looking for trouble Looking for trouble In this world You keep looking for trouble looking for trouble Don’t you girl You think He will come to you But you Don’t know what he’ll do And still you’re Looking for Trouble Looking for trouble All the time You’ll keep Looking for Trouble Looking for Trouble till you die If you Ever stopped this chase Would you Recognize his face And Some day When you find Trouble When you find Trouble You’ll know why You’ve been Looking for Trouble Looking for Trouble all your life

Cover me Snow Cover me Bury me deep inside your sweet white powder I’ll go to sleep I’ll dream of you for hours When I wake up I will shake you Gently from my hair All the secrets I have whispered Will melt In the air Snow Cover Me Snow Cover me Let me pretend I’m safe within your silence There I will stay Lost in a haze of violet When I wake up I will shake you Gently from my hair All the secrets I have whispered Will melt In the air Snow Cover me Snow Cover me Morning will come Just like a dove to greet me Under the ice I’ll close my eyes and see me

If Love 01:59
If love were a song Would you sing me a tune If love were your arms Would you break me in two Would you break me in two If love were a dove Would you dress me in white If love were a boy I would take him inside I would take him inside If love were a girl Would you mock her in vain If love fell apart Would you sew her again Would you sew her again

Spinning 03:07
Spinning Inside my head I won’t get out Until I’m dead And I wonder how it feels To be free Mourning Another day The night will come And end my pain And I wonder how it feels To be free Silence Where have you gone Did I forget To turn you on And I wonder how it feels To be Free To be
5.
Buttercup 03:01
She sleeps everyday Buttercup your life away She doesn’t know her mind Buttercup until you die What good is smiling all the time? She thinks it’s all a dream Buttercups of red and pink She says that soon she’ll wake Buttercups lie on her grave Why don’t the petals ever change? In a field she goes Without a winter coat She says she shouldn’t be Buttercup inside a tree She thinks the world is cruel Buttercup what will you do Buttercup what will you do In a field she goes Without a winter coat And the snow comes down And buries her Alone She sleeps everyday Buttercup your life away Buttercup your life away Buttercup your life away

Oh Butterfly 02:55
Oh butterfly Is there someone to hold your wings Oh butterfly When morning comes are you still free You wade into the stream Oh butterfly I wish that I could be like you Oh butterfly When morning comes are you still you Just a simple shade of green Flying through the trees Oh butterfly You wander through the fields all day Oh butterfly Where do you sleep when you’re afraid Is there someone you can trust Oh butterfly Why don’t you spread your wings a while

Ugly little toad Where you gonna go When your pool is dry And you've swallowed every fly Ugly little toad Sitting by the road Baking in the sun Waiting for your dinner to come dinner to come Ugly little toad Make the world your own Standing on the heads of helpless insects Ugly little toad Lies are all you know If you had to live On truth you'd starve to death You'd starve to death Ugly little toad Will you ever know What your greed has done And just what you've become What you've become Ugly little toad

Heaven 06:25
My mother tells me I will go to Hell My mother tells me that I won’t be saved My mother tells me that she is afraid That I won’t go to Heaven I won’t go to Heaven My mother cries my father is a jew My mother reads the Bible in her bed My mother says that when my father’s dead That he won’t go to Heaven He won’t go to Heaven We are sinners We are sinners We are sinners In her mind My mother calls my sister late at her job My mother tells her Christ must be her King My mother tells her that she must believe Or she won’t go to Heaven She won’t go to Heaven My mother worries we were not Baptized My mother worries we can't be with her My mother says it’s written in the verse We won’t go to Heaven We won’t go to Heaven We are sinners We are sinners We are sinners In her mind My mother holds a candle to her lips My mother wears her mother’s crucifix My mother says that only Christians live We won’t go to Heaven We won’t go to Heaven We won’t go to Heaven We won't go to Heaven

The Alphabet 03:49
B stands for bear E stands for egg In the alphabet G is the girl you gave away R is regret It’s a shame letters can’t be changed in the alphabet I was the first line of your poem You were my last Love is a syncopated note That fades too fast It’s a game No one can explain in the alphabet Y is the question that you ask yourself When you’re alone A stands for adolescent love S is the sun K is the kiss you never had When you were young Seasons change But things will remain in the alphabet Seasons change But things will remain in the alphabet

Elena 02:59
Elena You are beautiful With your long blonde hair Around your face I can see your ears Elena Walking in the rain With your rain coat on And your yellow boots Jumping in the mud Men would cry To touch you Everyday I want you Elena You’re a photograph A music box Reminding me Of symphonies Elena Staring back at me With your skin so pale You look like you Could blow away Men would cry To touch you Everyday I want you
11.
Little One 02:25
Wait for the sun Little one Little one Wait for the sun To shine You’ve got the trees Little one Little one You’ve got the trees To climb How can you say That it never will come How can you know What you’ve never begun Open your eyes Little one Little one Open your eyes For me You’ve got the world Little one Little one You’ve got the world To see How can you say That it never will come How can you know What you’ve never begun Wake up and smile Little one Little one Wake up and smile For me The sun will come Little one Little one The sun will come You’ll see

Mother Do you know when you had me I was somewhere up above Mother Do you know when you found me I didn't want to be found at all I was talking to God and running on the moon I was counting all the stars before I came to you Mother Why'd you ask me to come here I was happy where I was Mother Do you think I could go back and live with all the others I was talking to God and running on the moon I was doing all the things you never let me do Mother I'm yours forever whatever that may mean

about

diana darby Chicago, Illinois

Uncompromisingly spare, the songs of Diana Darby are psychotropic ballads that long to be sung from the dark corners of the room. Diana Darby's I V (intravenous) is a brand new album of songs retaining what Pitchfork called, "minimal, whispered rendition(s)" of "powerfully fatalistic evaluations of hope." ... more
