Tanya Donelly Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Vanilla

( Pretty Deep 7' )

She strolled into my backyard
Drinking wine from a dixie cup
Like you would

Showed her past my playing cards
Laid it down and I pick it up to see

What am i made of
What am I made of
Water, guts, and blood

And she looks just like my mother
When my mother was a swinger
And she laughs just like a young John Wayne

And she'd smell just like vanilla
If vanilla weren't so sweet

'Cause she's salt and starch and everything harsh
And I think I'm falling with her

And that's what I'm made of
Oh so now that I'm in love

Sinking in your bathtub
And I know I'm not coming up

Flashing in your snagteeth
A vision of my day with you

What am i made of
What am I made of
Water, guts, and blood

And she looks just like my mother
When my mother was a swinger
And she laughs just like a young John Wayne

And she'd smell just like vanilla
If vanilla weren't so sweet

'Cause she's salt and starch and everything harsh
And I think I'm falling with her

And that's what I'm made of
Oh so now that I'm in love

There's a reason why you live
There's a reason why you live


2.Influenza

Lyricist:Donelly Tanya

Two days at the end
The light in here is weak
And so I weep

Two hours at the end
The talk in here is cheap
And so I weep

Did ya catch my American flu?
The world is young and so are you
So tap my American flu

Funny old world
Funny old world

Kill the wine and kiss the girl
And tonight, man, you rule the world

Falling on back again
And put an ending to this losers game
No one will play with you

Did you catch my American flu?
The world is young and so are you
So tap my American flu
I'll steer you up and fly you to

My funny old world
Funny old world


3.Bury My Heart

Lyricist:Donelly Tanya

Bury my heart separately
It's something that don't belong to me
Like Mary did Percy's
Now do this for me
Bury my heart separately

He was a bleeder by '78
Letter to Carter
Squared by the straight
I was the lucky one
I bloom late, I bloom late

He was a blackheart in '78
He was in danger and quarter and great
I followed everywhere
On my own, on my own

Bury my heart separately
It's something that don't belong to me
Like Mary did Percy's
Now do this for me
Bury my heart separately

In the blizzard of '78
You could fall out of our window
And skate all the way to the creamery
It was bitter, it was great

Bury my heart separately
It's something that don't belong to me
Like Mary did Percy's
Do this for me
Bury my heart separately

Bury my heart separately
It's something that don't belong to me
Like Mary did Percy's
Will you do this for me?
Bury my heart separately
(Yeah, yeah)

Bury my heart separately
Bury my heart separately
It's something that don't belong to me

Bury my heart separately
Bury my heart separately
Bury my heart separately
(Yeah, yeah)
Bury my heart


4.Spaghetti

Lyricist:Donelly Tanya

Pull on my tail mister

Pull on my tail mister
If you pull on my tail
I'll drag you down to my hell

Pull on my tail mister

God knows I won't come to harm
Without a man on my arm

If you pull on my tail
I'll drag you down to my hell
Pull on my tail mister

Lord knows I won't come to harm
Without that man on my arm

If you pull on my tail
I'll drag you down to my hell
Pull on my tail mister

He said, 'Come to bed'
I don't feel like it
When my hair was red
Went to bed
Woke up dead
And I won't be coming
Home tonight


5.Last Rain

Lyricist:Donelly Tanya

Sometime today it will rain
One of the last of the 1900's
Should we go out and try to save it
Or just let it go like the days and decades?

This is my stolen time
My piece of the sky
My storyline
My my, how it flies

I am so very proud to be hear with you
So glad to be here it's kind of pathetic
I lose my voice, in this noisy love of ours
I just let it go like the days I've wasted

This is my stolen time
My piece of the sky
My storyline
My my, how it flies

Baby, I'm not sentimental
About a changing of rain
You go on about the end of the world
With your prophecy-ing psychics
Well, I'm sure that rain is just rain
It just falls dumbly down ever
I'm letting go of this now

Sometime today it will rain
(And you won't remember your own name)
Sometime today it will rain
(And you won't remember your own name)
This is my stolen time my piece of the sky
My storyline my my, how it flies

So this is where the story ends
Talking to myself again
When I let you walk, my heart
Went along, now it's gone
