Thao Nguyen Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Big Kid Table

Lyricist:Thao Bich Nguyen

You are strong, strong, strong
Stronger than me
With a heart much more
Much more lovely, yeah

And I reached high as high as I was able
Such a small kid at the big kid table
And you followed me into the forest
Positioned and ready, ready for a kiss

But I never gave you nothing not even to hold
Or wear around your neck or rest upon your collarbone
But I've got reasons I have been excused
I want to reconvene I want to tell the truth

That you are strong, strong, strong
Stronger than me
With a heart much more
Much more lovely, yeah

You are strong, strong, strong
Stronger than me
With a heart much more lovely

And it is not as though I do not know it hurts me
It's just I drink only that which makes me thirsty
We are after all locomotives, cannot recall, reclaim
Pretend we did not do it, hey, hey

I've got reasons I have been excused
I want to reconvene I want to tell the truth

That you are strong, strong, strong
Stronger than me
With a heart much more
Much more lovely, yeah
You are strong


2.Fear & Convenience

Lyricist:Thao Bich Nguyen

I have seen fear and convenience
I have never glimpsed romance
All my riches in the company van
I drove much faster than they ran

Did he hurt you in a new way
Did he hurt you in a new way
Did he hurt you in a new way
In a new way, in a new way, hey

All our senses dry as cotton
Petrified hearts let 'em go if you got 'em
And all I can give hot water from my shower
My legs on your bed so I do not think about her

But tell me did he hurt you in a new way
In a new way
And tell me did he hurt you in a new way
In a new way, hey, hey

Did he hurt you in a new way
In a new way, in a new way, hey


3.Travel

Lyricist:Thao Bich Nguyen

Darling, did you hate the way I made you travel
All pain and scrapes, scrapes and safety hazards?
We only, only roll so far
And then I rolled you from my zoomin' car

But I took a million looks
how they ate me up, made me heavy and for what
But you float, you float, how could you know?
I never can tell, I never can show, oh

Oh I, oh I, I, I, I
Oh I, oh I, I, I, I

But I took a million looks
How they ate me up, made me heavy and for what
But you float, you float, how could you know?
I never can tell, I never can show


4.Beat (Health, Life & Fire)

Lyricist:Thao Bich Nguyen

Beat my bra, beat my chest
Beat the ones who love me the best
Oh, how could they be liars?
They assured me how's life on fire

Who, who, who, ooh
Who, who, who, ooh

Oh no, how can you stand it
When I run, when I run like a bandit
I wear him like a habit in the lining of my jacket
And oh my gunpowder and with an emergency
I must battle without her she is surely killing me

Who, who, who, ooh
Who, who, who, ooh

So you're never gonna leave and I'm never gonna leave
But I'm proud to say I've gotta speak
I'm never gonna leave and you're never gonna leave
But you're never gonna love me like I need

Who, who, who, ooh
Who, who, who, ooh
Who, who, who, ooh
Who, who, who, ooh


5.Geography

Lyricist:Thao Bich Nguyen

Oh, geography is gonna make a mess of me
Oh, geography is gonna make a mess of me
My, my mouth a confessional cannon
Run away from me with the most reckless of abandon

Are you unhappy for me? I am unhappy for you
All I can think to do, get you, get you, get you
Good, good, good, good, good, good

But I don't know, what I don't know
Well I don't know, what I don't know
Oh, oh

Fire compels, fire consumes
You are a cheater you are fireproof
You are fireproof I am a smoky plume I am
Up a ladder up to your bedroom, room

But I don't know, what I don't know
Well I don't know, what I don't know
Oh, oh

My blood is thin with aspirin
I throw you in, I throw you in
My blood is thin with aspirin
I throw you in, I throw you in
I throw you in, I throw you in, I throw you in


6.Feet Asleep

Lyricist:Thao Bich Nguyen

Talk soft, so you'll fall asleep
Cook your dinner but you would not eat
Your sharp mouth forgets when you swore
Goddamn, you wouldn't do it again

And I bend back
With an eye full of mud
And I take it on the chin
And then I patch you up

But all these years, my feet are asleep
Move them around that they might breathe
And oh, so little time I, I have grown old

Come back to see me
I know they have a rainy season
Come back to see me
I know they have a rainy season

You, you are mine
So I never would mind
I work my arms so hard
Just to give you an airplane ride

But all these years, my feet are asleep
Move them around that they might breathe
And oh, so little time I, I have grown old

But all these years, my feet are asleep
Move them around that they might breathe
And oh, so little time I, I have grown old


7.Swimming Pool

Lyricist:Thao Bich Nguyen

We are sore the length of our bodies
We restore what we cry
We are nothing if not your granddaughters
We've been nothing but dignified

We, we brave bee stings and all
And we don't dive, we cannonball
And we splash our eyes full of chemicals
Just so there's none left for little girls
Just so there's none left for little girls

Roll, roll, roll, roll up your denim
We've gotta pedal ten hours south
They pour it down from their balconies
You've gotta push all the doubt to the side of your mouth

'Cause we, we brave bee stings and all
And we don't dive, we cannonball
And we splash our eyes full of chemicals
Just so there's none left for little girls
Just so there's none left for little girls

We are sore the length of our bodies
We restore what we cry
We are nothing if not your granddaughters
We've been nothing but dignified

No, we, we brave bee stings and all
And we don't dive, we cannonball
And we splash our eyes full of chemicals
Just so there's none left for little girls
Just so there's none left for little girls
