I was thinking clearly, the plan was all laid down
But I want it now
Yeah, I want it now
You do it, I'll report it
You say it, I'll distort it
You were speaking clearly, you even sat me down
It seemed so easy, I dragged you all over town
Because I want it now
Yeah, I want it now
You do it, I'll report it
You say it, I'll distort it
On Vyvance I know what I'm thinking
It was getting easy, the plan was all laid down
But I want it now
Yeah, I want it now
You do it, I'll report it
You say it, I'll distort it

Semolina Pilchard
There's no form in your arc when you dive
The Deacon of Whitby's here
What'd he say?
"I don't know how to drive!"
Come on fight the florists
Fight the florists, alright
Fight the florists
We'll fight the florists alright
Karate elfboy
There's no guts in the wake that you wade
She's waiting by the mailbox daily
For what?
"I don't know what to say!"
Come on fight the florists
Fight the florists, alright
Fight the florists
We'll fight the florists alright
We're playing happy shovels
There's no air in the sky that you flew
Pretend to get off easy, baby
What's next?
"I don't know what to do!"
Come on fight the florists
Fight the florists, alright
Fight the florists
We'll fight the florists alright
Are you seeing someone?
Just tell me, woman
Are you meeting someone?
Just tell me, woman
Come on fight the florists
Fight the florists, alright
Fight the florists
We'll fight the florists alright

Quasar
04:44

|
Sinking quickly in the deepest of ends
Heart is racing from the panic it sends
No star, the quasar it's only light
Silver fossils in museums of Rome
Wearing gloves because the future is chrome
Stop scuba we all got the bends
Our planet is too hot on the ends
No star, the quasar it's only light
Sinking quickly in the deepest of ends
I don't care if it's the only way out
Yeah
I don't care if it's the only way out
Yeah
I don't care if it's the only way out
Yeah
I don't care if it's the only way out
Yeah
Silver fossils in museums of Rome
Wearing gloves because the future is chrome
Stop scuba we all got the bends
Our planet is too hot on the ends
No star, the quasar it's only light
I don't care if it's the only way out
Yeah
I don't care if it's the only way out
Yeah
I don't care if it's the only way out
Yeah
I don't care if it's the only way out

Dare Devil

Find someone to hold your hand, who can fight
Someone who can hold your hand
That's right
Get a hold of a rusted chain, bound up tight
Now you're gonna break the chain
That's right
But it's all right now, your dare devil won
It's all right now, your dare devil won
But it's all right now, your dare devil won
It's all right now, your dare devil won
Put yourself in a smoky house, set alight
Walk free from the burning house
That's right
Find someone who will tie you down, every night
Someone who will tie you down
That's right
But it's all right now, your dare devil won
It's all right now, your dare devil won
But it's all right now, your dare devil won
It's all right now, your dare devil won
Your dare devil won
Your dare devil won
Your dare devil won

Does it look that way?
Could it happen to be?
If there's no one to blame, I would like that best

Holy Hell And Holy Days
03:40
|
|||
|
It's still surreal and I don't know why
And I don't want to go back in time
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't wanna close my eyes
Holy hell and holy days
Wholly fond of you
You
You turned your head and I stole your smokes
Let my youth be my hope
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't wanna close my eyes
Holy hell and holy days
Wholly fond of you
Holy hell and holy days
I'm losing you
I can still hear you laughing
Over by the sink cleaning ashtrays
But I'm scared
So scared
Lying at the bottom of the big bed
The numbers on the clock are flipping
But I'm scared
I'm so scared
Holy hell and holy days

Any time Jim Bryson releases new music is cause for celebration and Country Wifi doesn't disappoint. Trying to pick my favorite track was like asking me who my favorite child is (okay, I'll admit it's the second one).

A rubbery bassline and a bounding rhythm track propels this earworm dance track from B.C. act Delujn.
go to album
This creative San Francisco guitar band melds trip hop, krautrock, My Bloody Valentine-esque noise, and jangle pop hooks.
