Junebug

Junebug sitting on your front porch
Where'd you leave your smile
Did daddy take it with his bottle
Did he leave you all alone there child
Can you hear the rain on the rooftop
Counting buttons on your dress
Life was sweeter back in Georgia
Now you never what's coming next
Fly Junebug fly
Junebug dream about tomorrow
When you wake up you'll be old
Will you have a cake and chocolate ice cream
Will you have your daddy's hand to hold
Fly Junebug fly
Fly
Fly

Sarah

Whoever told you life was fair
Never spent much time sitting in the electric chair
Those bruises you keep hidden
'neathe your cotton dress
Won't fade away when you close your eyes to rest
You bought the story sold to you
The curtain came down long
before the act was through
No mother's milk could heal the wounds you have inside
This crazy world has let you down and left you dry
Sarah
the lion sleeps in the sun
and bows her head for no one
but the wind
Is there a place you'd like to go
an Alcatraz that you could have to call your own
Your jewelry box is filled with rubies made of blood
You traded in yourself for a taste of love
Sarah
the lion sleeps in the sun
and bows her for no one
but the wind
but the wind
And when the days turn into years
Will you have more than just
the memory
of your fears
to hold
when you're old
Sarah
Sarah
Sarah
whoever told you life was fair

Malcolm's Song
04:49

Carry me back home
to the hills
that I love
let me taste the water
one more time
If there's any hope
for the days
I have left
I'll find it in
Caroline
Caroline
is smiling
and she's whispering pines
I'll be home by morning
if I drive
when the angels come
and tell me it's time
I'll say
leave me
in Caroline
No one raised me up
to honor the Lord
stole the Sunday offering
to get by
I ain't got no friends
to welcome me in
except for
my Caroline
Caroline
is smiling
and she's whispering pines
I'll be home by morning
if I drive
when the angels come
and tell me it's time
I'll say
leave me
in Caroline
Father take my hand
the bee stings at dawn
cripple child
I left you
far behind
praying for a peace
the needle will bring
then I'll see
my Caroline
Caroline
is smiling
and she's whispering pines
I'll be home by morning
if I drive
when the angels come
and tell me it's time
I'll say
leave me
in Caroline
Carry me back home
to the hills that I love
Carry me back home
to the hills that I love
Carry me back home

Please

Please
set me free
there's a light that waits
for me
somewhere
Please
look at me
I am more
than what
you think
you see
Open your heart to all that
you once had thought
could never be
Please
could it be
that the pain I feel
is not for me
Open your heart to all that
you once had thought
could never be
There's magic in the distance
if you don't look too close
you'll see
Please
Please
I have waited all my life
to breathe
I have waited all my life
to breathe
Please

Sweet Conversation
03:49
|
|||
|
Bleed me from morning to daybreak
Curse me with words foul to hear
You've got your arsenal around you
While I play those games with my tears
Sweet conversation
wearing us down to the bone
Sweet conversation
words are the weapons we know
There is no laughter
to guide us
No Holy man with a cross
Jesus he walked on the water
So why is it we're so damn lost
Sweet conversation
wearing us down to the bone
Sweet conversation
words are the weapons we know
Sweet conversation
words are the weapons we know
Carry me back to the first night
cancel the arm brigade
Where is that face in the mirror
and why is it always the same
Sweet conversation
wearing us down to the bone
Sweet conversation
words are the weapons we know
words are the weapons we know

She Won't Be Quiet
02:24
|

|
You've been sitting in your corner crying alone
Daddy's little girl has finally come into her own
and she won't be quiet no more
no she won't be quiet no more
Yeah she's picked herself up off the
You've had lovers who have kept you tied to a chair
like a spider hanging upside down in the air
And she won't be quiet no more
No she won't be quiet no more
Yeah she's picked herself off of the
Why don't you just stand aside
when she walks by
You know you've got nothing left
to keep her feeling stuck and sorry
for herself
And she won't be quiet no more
No she won't be quiet no
Why don't you just stand aside
when she walks by
You know you've got nothing left
to keep her feeling stuck and sorry
for herself
So forget about the girl that you thought you knew
She's no longer in a backseat kind of a mood
Quiet
Quiet
Quiet
She's been so
Quiet
Quiet
Quiet
And she won't be quiet no more
No she won't be quiet no more
No she won't be quiet no more

Ragdoll
03:46

You think I'm you're ragdoll
You think I'll do anything
That you want me to
That you want me to
You can dress me up
You can call me down
I'll still follow you
I'll still follow you
I'm your ragdoll
I live in the closet
You play with me
When you want to
When you want to
You can throw me down
You can toss me around
I'll be good to you
Oh so good to you
I'm your randall
I can pretend
I don't need you
like I do
but I'd have no life
without you
And in the end
I always wind up on the floor
crying for you
once more
One day when you leave me
alone on your doorstep
like some broken toy
like some broken toy
I won't disappear
No I'll stay right here
And I'll wait for you
I'll just wait for you
I'm your ragdoll
I'm you ragdoll

Blackdog

Black dog
chasing squirrels upon hill
No one told you
you can't catch one
So you will
Old man
dreams about the one
who left him
He once told her to forget him
so she did
Black dog
keep running long as you can
long as you can
Green eyed girl
Daddy left you as a baby
No one thought it'd make you crazy
But here you are
Night is coming cross the ocean
soon this day will be gone
Black dog
keep running long as you can
long as you can
Oak tree
is there something I should know
How can you just watch your leaves fall
And let go
Night is coming cross the ocean
soon this day will be gone
Black dog
keep running long as you can
long as you can
Black dog
keep running long as you can
long as you can

Amelia

Well you dream that you are riding
on a horse made out of glass
and it shatters underneath you
and you can't find your way back
And you'd like to be a dancer
and your breasts are double d
and you smile at all your teachers
cause you want so bad to please
Oh, Amelia
Oh, Amelia
Well you walk into the window
and you feel the other side
and the voice that guides your conscience
is a psychopathic liar
and your friends are baking cookies
and your mother's at the pool
and your father's taking valium
and you hate your rich high school
Oh, Amelia
Oh, Amelia
You sit and watch the world go by
by
instrumental
Well the watchman
sleeps beside you
and you can't stay in your skin
and you burn your feet with matches
till the memory comes again
and you hear the doorknob turning
and you'd like to drive a car
but you can't get past September
and you don't know who you are
Oh, Amelia
Oh, Amelia
You sit and watch the world go by
by
by

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
