Still Life

The Connells Still Life Lyrics
1.Dull, Brown, And Grey

Out of boredom, i decided i'd get with it
Well, its dull, brown, and gray
Like all the things we do
That don't go away
Its like all the things we do
Its dull, brown, and grey
Well, its dull brown, and grey...


2.The Leper

Words, shallow words
And it all amounts to nothing
Sounds, it just sounds, a little phony

Yeah, its true i was the leper
Yeah, its true i was the lad
Yeah its true i was the better
And the bad

Waiting for the part someone with a heart
Poised and pissed and flowered
Standing on the brink
Trying not to think
I haven't even showered
Yes, i am going to

Yeah, its true i was the leper
Yeah, its true i was the lad
Yeah its true i was the better
And the bad

And the world keeps settling
In my way, in my way
Damn it all, damn it all
And the world keeps settling
Damn it all, damn it all

Christ what a life
And the most of it forgotten
Listen to this
And the rest is pretty rotten

Yeah, its true i was the leper
Yeah, its true i was the lad
Yeah its true i was the better
And the bad


3.Bruise

So they say i'm doing fine
And they say your a friend of mine
Well that's very moving
But its not really soothing
Insincere and color blind

Hey ain't it funny
Everyone knows
How my skin shows

So they say i'm doing fine
They've got nothing on me but time
Time to talk about it
Yeah, that's where i'm going
Do they really know how i find

Hey ain't it funny
Everyone knows
How my skin shows
Black and bruised

Hey ain't it funny
Everyone sees
How my skin shows
But you

Hey ain't it funny
Everyone knows
How my skin shows
Black and bruised

Hey ain't it funny
Everyone sees

How my skin shows but you


4.Curly's Train

Twenty four in a car, in a car
Rolling down a mountain train
When curly asked where you were


5.Gauntlet

Tell you about the first one
Its all the same to me
Might as well be the last one
All the same to see

Everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's so hard

Tangled up for the better
Its all cracked up to be
Everybody's sweetheart everybody's blowhard

Anybody's fool
If you stick around this time
You might get a chance to be somebody
I'll even watch the van for you
While you play

Everybody's sweetheart
Anybody's fool
If yous tick around this time
You might get a chance
To be somebody
I'll even watch the step for you
Along the way
If you stick around this time
You might get a chance
To be somebody
I'll even watch the van for you
While you play
While you play...


6.Glade

Anyday, your gonna to throw it all away
See you got it just throw away
Now here you wind
How its coming in from all sides
You got it coming
Riding in on you
This is what we should do

Lets go to boy island
Book a passage
For a few days in sun
Waiting and watching for girls to come

Waiting, watching

You know
You came up with it too long ago
See it happened
So long ago
How could you know

Lets go to boy island
Book a passage
For a few days in sun
Waiting and watch for girls to come

Waiting, watching
Waiting, watching for girls to come
Waiting, watching

Everyday
You've got to throw it all away
See you got it, just throw it away
That's what i might say
Lets run to boy island
Book a passage
For a few days in sun
Waiting and watch for girls to come

Waiting, watching for girls to come
Waiting, watching

Just like mary waits in the sun
Just like mary waits in the sun

Waiting, watching for girls to come
Waiting, watching

Boy, oh boy...


7.Soul Reactor

It doesn't matter if you are going to wait
But the lesson's learned and its seems ok
And you might not like this at all
But i never thought that you cared much at all

Why don't you beg out of your own disasters?
Hey now, hey now, let it out, let it out
Why don't you lean onto your soul reactor, now?

It doesn't matter if your coming out
When the whole damn world is still in doubt
It doesn't matter if push come to shove
And the best there is, is the rest that was

Why don't you beg out of your own disasters?
Hey now, hey now, let it out, let it out
Why don't you lean onto your soul reactor
Hey now, hey now, let it out, let it out, yeah
Why don't you beg out of your own disasters?
Hey now, hey now, let it out, let it out, yeah
Why don't you lean on to your soul reactor, now?


8.Still Life

Its the way that you repair the broken parts
Its the way that you assemble
And its wondering that keep the stops and starts

Oh, this still life has its virtues
'cause everything in motion leaves
Or is just left behind
And i don't think it could hurt you

It gets colder
Holding out
Holding out
Holding out

There are days when i remember what's been lost
There are days that i have forgotten
Like an old friend that moved to canada

And i held it up
And i held it out
And i stay...

Oh, this still life has it virtues
'cause everything in motion leaves
Or is just left behind
And i don't think it could hurt you

Oh, this still life has it virtues
'cause everything in motion leaves
Or is just left behind
And i don't think it could hurt you
To stay a little while
Only for awhile
We're crossing you in style


9.Crown

The crown is off the one ahead of you
You down and out and side step through
Been pounding out the crowded streets
Ten o'clock in the morning

The streets rising up
Your head is ringing
And everything...

Gonna claim, gonna name, gonna shout it out
Could leave me out again
Gonna call, gonna call, gonna sound it out
Something's really here

You've got a world to tell
In the tower its round about
The cryer's calling out
To warn against the things we want
In the tower its round and round and round and round

Well you wonder
How i once used to be
Its like your brother said
Its only head

Gonna claim, gonna name, gonna shout it out
Its here, its here, its here
Gonna call, gonna call, gonna sound it out
Something's really here
Something's really here

The crown is off the one ahead of you
You down and out and side step through
Been pounding out the crowded streets
Ten o'clock in the morning

The heat's rising up
Your head is ringing
And everything...

Gonna claim, gonna name, gonna shout it out
Could leave me out again
Gonna call, gonna call, gonna sound it out
Something's really here

Gonna claim, gonna name, gonna shout it out
Could leave me out again
Gonna call, gonna call, gonna sound it out
Something's really here
Something's really here


10.Circlin'

Say you going to shed that skin, oh yeah
Will you stick with it man
What i can't understand is

Why have you started circlin'
And did you feel like giving in
Or will you stop at nothing?

If i could just make it through tonight
Looks like your stuck with it man
What i can't understand is

Why have you started circlin'
And did you feel like giving in
Or will you stop at nothing?

Everybody, everybody's wrong but us
Let's hope that stuff is strong enough

Why have you started circlin'
And did you feel like giving in
Or will you stop at nothing?

Why have you started circlin'
And did you feel like giving in
Or will you stop at nothing?

Why have you started circlin'
And did you feel like giving in
Or will you stop at nothing?


11.Gonna Take A Lie

Fever in a blistser out, you know
It will simmer until its cold
Even in a fleeting range
The suffering fills us full

Are you going to win me around again
Play that sound like you always do

Its going to take a lie
Nothing else will do
Its going to take a lie
As if it really matters
Its going to take a lie
This time
I want to see your face when its all through

Why not think of this as pure intention
Why not think of this as pulling through
Will you ever win me round again
Play that sound like you always do

Its going to take a lie
Nothing else will do
Its going to take a lie
As if it really matters
Its going to take a lie
This time
I want to see your face when its all through

Your never going to bring me round again
Play that sound like you always do

Its going to take a lie
Nothing else will do
Its going to take a lie
As if it really matters
Its going to take a lie
This time
I don't want to see your face when its all through

Its going to take a lie
Nothing else will do
Its going to take a lie
As if it really matters
Its going to take a lie
This time
I want to see your face
