Postal Service: Brand New Colony
I've had this song for a while, but recently rediscovered The Postal Service. I really like their music. I love the sound and lyrics of this song... lemme know what u think.

I'll be the grapes fermented,
Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit
Like a perfect gentlemen
I'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick
Where you will sit and contemplate your day

I'll be the waterwings that save you if you start drowning
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink
I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite
Albums back as your lying there drifting off to sleep...
I'll be the platform shoes and undo what heredity's done to you...
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes
I'll be your winter coat buttoned and zippedstraight to the throat
With the collar up so you won't catch a cold

I want to take you far from the cynics int his town
And kiss you on the mouth
We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change,
We'll give ourselves new names (identities erased)
The sun will heat the grounds
Under our bare feet in this brand new colony
Everything will change, oOo oOo...

Sleeping Lessons by The Shins, off their album: Wincing the Night Away!

Go without 'til the need seeps in
You low animal, collect your novel petals for the stem
And glow, glow, melt and flow
Eviscerate your fragile frame

Spill it out on the ragged floor
A thousand different versions of yourself

And if the old guards still offend
They got nothing left on which you depend
So enlist every ounce of your bright blood
And off with their heads, jump from the hook
You're not obliged to swallow anything that you despise
See, those unrepenting buzzards want your life
And they got no right as sure as you have eyes
They got no right

Just put yourself in my new shoes
And see that I do what I do
Because the old guards still offend
They got nothing left on which we depend
So enlist every ounce of your bright blood
And off with their heads, jump from the hook
You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
omg. those words... and the music.... wow! that's all i can say. excuse the language in the post title, but it really is just a great fkn song. that's all i can say. great fkn song. the kind of song that makes you want to stand in a beautiful and natural grassy field with your arms spread wide and just spin and watch the sky. here's a link to a live video, and the music video, it's the best i can do atm. listen to it and tell me what u think.
