There's a girl in the crowd

And she's balling her eyes out

Only girl in the town

With her fingers in eyelids

And we're all fine in the back of your mind

If we do what we like then we could be with you tonight

And if we bleed you dry

We're alright in the back of our minds if we do what we like

Then we could be with you tonight

And if they bleed you dry

Taken half the tide

Taken all your tide

And if we bleed you dry

Bleed you dry

We've taken half your tide

And if we bleed you dry

You are the bearer of a womb without love

You could have had it all

Is that what you said

Is that what you said on a low ride

You said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

You are the bearer of a womb without love

You could have had it all

Is that what you said

Is that what you said on a low ride

You said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

There's a hand in the till

Still believing what she sells

Only girl in the town

With her fingers in eyelids

And we're all fine in the back of your mind

If we do what you like

Then we could be with you tonight

And if they bleed you dry

Taken half the tide

Taken all your tide

You are the bearer of a womb without love

You could have had it all

Is that what you said

Is that what you said on a low ride

You said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

You are the bearer of a womb without love

You could have had it all

Is that what you said

Is that what you said on a low ride

You said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

Bleed you dry

I'm taking half your tide

And if I bleed you dry

[Video] [Indie for dummies] Dutch Uncles / Face in

Dutch Uncles - Face in (2009) 

"Dutch uncle is a term for a person who issues frank, harsh, and severe comments and criticism to educate, encourage, or admonish someone. Thus, a "Dutch uncle" is a person who is rather the reverse of what is normally thought of as avuncular or uncle-like (which would be indulgent and permissive)." [#]

Dutch Uncles, quintetto di Manchester (UK). Il gruppo nel 2009 ha pubblicato un album omonimo (da cui è tratto questo brano) con una oscura etichetta tedesca, la Tapete records di Amburgo, ma si appresta al nuovo debutto nella primavera 2011 con una etichetta inglese.

Jogger - Gorilla meat live@KCRW (2009)

“Gorilla Meat” showcases one of the saddest lyrics of this millennium: “She’s not meeting you tonight/Not tonight, not forever,” amidst a dreamy forest where the trees are all guitar strings and only the synths can lead you away from the spot where you wait; after all, it’s pointless. [#]

[Album] Il teatro degli orrori / A sangue freddo

Questo è un gruppo che vorrei strumentale: non mi piace la voce del cantante, non mi piacciono i testi. Peccato perchè cavolo se sanno suonare! A sangue freddo del 2009 è il loro secondo album studio. Assolutamenti consigliati live.

[Indie for Dummies] Bo Ningen

La prima volta che li ho visti, su Arte in TV, ho fatto tanto d'occhi e mi sono messa a ridere. Però poi, ripensandoci, dato che mi avevano veramente incuriosito gli ho concesso un secondo ascolto. Ecco come ne parla il NME:

London's Bo Ningen (in English - Stick Man) met in Japan but arrived in London two years ago with the aim of creating a retro-future rock behemoth. Job done already it seems. They have a very real and deserved buzz as one of the best new live bands in the country. They sound pretty worth a gander on paper. Something like: 'Four cutie-pie Japanese guys - with waist length hair - going ballistic with pendulous, soul-scraping heavy-rock in totally non-ironic early 70s clothes.'

[CDG] Chapel Club / O maybe I

Chapel Club - O Maybe I (2009)

Oh, Maybe I
Should settle down to a quiet life.
Or...Maybe I
Should chance it all on a perfect night.
Can't you see that sounds cynical?
These decisions ain't made with the head.

Chorus:

Oh, I just can't go through it again, she said.
Nobody asked you to, darlin'.
I just can't pretend that I care.
Well, whoever though that you did?

Oh, Maybe I
Should settle down and be dignified.
Or...Maybe I
Should risk it all on a long goodbye.
What d'you mean I sound cynical?
Can't you see this is more than a grudge?

Chorus x2

I Just can't go through it again.
Nobody asked you to, darlin'.
I just can't pretend that I care.
Well, whoever thought that you did?
...Whoever thought that you did?

Oh, Maybe I
Should take a bite while the fruits still ripe.
Or...Maybe I
Should mess around with someone's wife.
Is it strange I sound bitter when...
I can feel my heart is falling apart?
I can feel my heart is falling apart.
I can feel my heart is falling apart.
