It's all gonna break

Thursday, January 19, 2006

I'm taking a little break from studying, and figured I'd listen to this here tune. I've been obsessed with this song since I first saw Broken Social Scene open up for Dinosaur Jr. in Central Park last summer. They are one of these large rock bands with horns and keyboards and proably someone just banging on sticks in the back. This song in particular has been useful, I know the lyrics don't sound all that uplifting but it's sort of a celebration of the futility of life. Accepting that the good in life is inescapably linked to the bad. Well anyway here's the lyrics to the afformentioned song, a little cryptic and a little less effective without the music but... they're playing next weekend here in New York, I'm pretty sure they're sold out but if you can get hands on tickets I would strongly suggest it. It's all... gonna break Well It's all... gonna break, When I was a kid You fucked me in the ass But I took my pen to my paper And I passed you You know I love this shit 'Cause the shit tastes so good I've got cops just waiting in the woods 'Cause it's all...gonna break It's all... gonna Break. Singers like the sound Sounds like, oh well? I know times like these are the hell, and Waiting through tricks The tricks look so good I've got everyone's waiting in the woods They try to climb away and call me over The skies are red And the skies are sober Minds they fade And minds roll over It's good... And I know that you're dying I know that it's true I know that there's seven thousand things That you'd (rather be and) rather do And I know That you fuck What you love And you love What you fuck I'll keep 'em (all) good I'll keep it true I'll do everything 'cause I obviously love you 'Cause I know That the sound Of your heart Is a god I can trust Like a man Not a boy I don't know I'll just die When the fire goes out in ourselves 'Cause it's all...gonna break You want, you want The lovely music To save your life... Keep it coming There is no lie To save your life Keep it coming This is the lie To save your life Why are you always fucking ghosts... It's been such a long life that we trust Your heart Is it whole And love Is just lust You want But you can't You can't Cause I feel We've got To get Out of here And why are you always, Why are you allways, Why, Why, Why....
