Took a walk in the woods
To think of all the things that I could do
To get you off of my mind
Took a long night drive
In hopes to find a sign
That I need to get you out of my life
For good this time
I can’t quit you baby
No matter how hard I try
You’ve got me in a knot
But it’s my fault it’s tied
I’m waiting on you
To make it worth the while
That I’m stuck here
I’m so stuck here
Why do I even open my mouth?
It’s a spell that I’ve got to break now
Even if it’s hard on me I might just tough it out
You can’t make me feel any type of way no, no
I can’t quit you baby
No matter how hard I try
You’ve got me in a knot
But it’s my fault it’s tied
I’m waiting on you
To make it worth the while
That I’m stuck here
I’m so stuck here
I can’t quit you baby
No matter how hard I try
You’ve got me in a knot
But it’s my fault it’s tied
I’m waiting on you
To make it worth the while
That I’m stuck here
I’m so stuck here

Marbles

I think I lost my mind
I think I lost my marbles
Scattered all over the floor
And under the ‘fridgerator
Crawl down onto my knees
Broken glass sticks in my feet
You go pick up the broom
Sweep me up out of my room
I feel so small
Standing next to you
I think I lost my mind
I think I lost my marbles
I didn’t shower today
But always put on my gold chain
Throw on my favorite long sleeve
Got myself ready to leave
Walk down to the Walgreens
Bought myself something to drink
Sugar messes with me
But not as bad as when you leave
I think I lost my mind
I think I lost my marbles
I think I lost my mind
I think I lost my marbles

Twenty

I’m not who I thought I was gonna be
Twenty seems further than it ought to be
Ten years down, how many shots you swallow
I’m not who I thought I was gonna be
I’m not who I thought I was gonna be
Chase my tail and dreams like a fucking freak
Bite my tongue, how many thoughts you swallow
Twenty seems further than it ought to be
Forgive me for waiting to give up until now
I know it’s late in the game but I still got you
Oh, you

What's It Take

You, your stupid hat I can’t get over you
And now it’s hard to move on ‘cause you’re around
You, talking to me like you wanna keep it up
And I wish so badly you meant the words you said
Feeling like you’re lingering
Rip off the bandage super sweet
Feeling like you like the taste of blood on your teeth
Well I thought that I had you
I’m spacing out I’m getting out of my head
You hold me down I just want out I just want out
You got me in a rut I can’t get out of
I know how it is
You’re cold, I’m afraid
Of what has to be said
So what’s it take to be touched by you?
So what’s it take to be touched by you?
What’s it take to be touched by you?
What’s it take to be touched by you?

Hair

My hands wrap around the wheel
Tight grasp, how am I supposed to feel
When you yell from the top of the stairs
Hey girl stop messing with your hair
Hey, hey
You can’t tell me what to do
You haven’t fooled me, get a clue
That I’m done with this game that you play
Have you got nothing clever to say?
Don’t test my patience or my time
You’re so sour ain’t no lemon got no lime
It’s like I’m hardly even there
Hey boy stop messing with my hair
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey
You can’t tell me what to do
You can’t tell me what to do, no
You can’t tell me what to do, no
You can’t tell me what to do, no
You can’t tell me what to do, no!

Better Off

I am a rabid dog after a bone on mercury
I am so tired of waiting for things to line up with me
I’ll raid this town so you best get out or I’ll be after you
I’ve already sunk my teeth in, my mind breaking and I need help
I’d be so much better off
If I knew what the world was handing me
I’d be so much better off
I’d be so much better off
If I’m alone, been gone for too long
How do I learn, I learn to fall in love
Like you’re supposed to
If I’m a goner, if I’m a loner
I can’t be the first one, first lover to wonder
Like you’re supposed to
How do you fall like that?
I’d be so much better off
If I knew what the world was handing me
I’d be so much better off
I’d be so much better off
I’d be so much better off
If I knew what the world was handing me
I’d be so much better off
I’d be so much better off
I’d be so much better off
If I knew what the world was handing me
I’d be so much better off
I’d be so much better off

You got away with all of it
Every single time
Cause I wish you were still around
And that it was my sixty seventh birthday
But where did you, where’d you run off to?
Where did you, where’d you run off to? Oh
Where did you, where’d you run off to?
Where’d you run off to?
I know you’d rather be there
Than over here
But you got away with all of it
And I just wanna know why
But where did you, where’d you run off to?
Where did you, where’d you run off to? Oh
Where did you, where’d you run off to?
Where’d you run off to?
Oh, oh
Where did you go, where’d you run off to?
(Where did you go and did you take the high road?)
Where did you go, where’d you run off to?
(Where did you go and did you take the high road?)
Where did you go and did you take the high road?

All Of This Will End
03:28
|
|||
|
Forget me, leave me be
Forget I ever said anything
I won’t mind if it’s time
To drop everything we had and leave it all behind
I am lost and here we are again
Someone say when all of this will end
I’m no one and you’re the sun
Shining bright for fucking everyone
And it’s obscure why I hurt
I don’t have the slightest clue, it’s all a blur
I am lost and here we are again
Someone say when all of this will end
Forget me, leave me be
Forget I said anything
I won’t mind if it’s time
To drop everything we had and leave it all behind

Falling

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I can’t keep it to myself I just wanna yell
I was feeling real again, I could not pretend
Things are fading out again, will I make amends?
I’m not falling
I can’t keep it to myself I just wanna yell
I’m not falling, I’m not falling
Just forget what I said
Let you get inside my head
Just forget what I said
I won’t let you again
I can’t keep it to myself, got no one to tell
Everybody thinks I am what they see
Feeling like I have to keep quiet
Keep my thoughts inside
Can’t believe I’m real again, I can’t feel the wall
It’s not falling, I’m not falling
Just forget what I said
Let you get inside my head
Just forget what I said
I won’t let you again
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Burst

When I die, may I burst
With a crack of thunder and a lot of glitter
When I die, may I say I lived the best life?
And I might cry, when you say goodbye
Will you say goodbye?
When I die, may I burst
With a crack of thunder
And a lot of glitter
Oh~~~
When a star dies
Will you say goodbye?
Will you say goodbye?
Will you?

This might be the tightest "indie garage pop-tending-rock" album I know of. Arrangements are top notch. Correcting a glaring omission in my collection here by buying the Beths albums while it's still _just_ NZ Music Month! What an opening track! Jump Rope Gazers and Don't Go Away - instrumentation is outstanding on both tracks - tough choice, any one makes for a worthy choice as fave track.
