I Can Hear the Heart Beating as

Yo La Tengo I Can Hear the Heart Beating as Lyrics
1.Stockholm Syndrome

What's the matter, why don't you answer
What's the matter with me?
It is so hard to be
Free and easy, we'll disappear completely
Hardly as I've known it's glad

Youre heart is broken, and the doors are open
As you're hoping to be
There's brighter places to see
Hands need warning, early in the morning
Hardly as I've known a surprise

No, don't warn me
I know it's wrong, but I swear it won't take long
And I know, you know,
It makes me sigh; I do believe in love

Another season, but the same old feelings
Another reason could be
I'm tired of aching, summer's what you make it
But I'll believe what I want to believe


2.Autumn Sweater

When I heard the knock on the door
I couldn't catch my breath
Is it too late to call this off?

We could slip away
Wouldn't that be better?
Me with nothing to say
And you in your autumn sweater

I tried my best to hide in the crowded room
It's nearly possible
I wait for you, oh, most patiently

We could slip away
Wouldn't that be better?
Me with nothing to say
And you in your autumn sweater

So I looked for your eyes and the waves looked like
They'd pour right out of them
I'll try hard, I'll try always
But it's a waste of time
It's a waste of time if I can't smile easily
Like in the beginning
In the beginning

We could slip away
Wouldn't that be better?
Me with nothing to say
And you in your autumn sweater

We could slip away
Wouldn't that be better?
Me with nothing to say
And you in your autumn sweater
You in your autumn sweater
You in your autumn sweater
You in your autumn sweater


3.Green Arrow


4.The Lie and How We Told It

Talking words, angry words
Hang in the air, we don't dare
Sky went gray, wake in white
Hangs in the air, we don't dare

And there's a thousand reasons
I don't need them to help the fired flare
And even as we near it, I can't hear it
Files in the air
We don't dare


5.Center of Gravity

In crowded bars, at subway cars

Whenever you are next to me,
Center of gravity,
Can't feel both feet on the ground

Walking home after dark, past the softball park

It's clear to me, according to a rule I learned one day in
school
Basic geometry: two halves of a circle, you and me

It's a familial song we've known so long

Your clever cuts into me
As long as you're next to me
I can't feel both feet on the ground


6.Spec Bebop


7.Return to Hot Chicken


8.Moby Octopad

Locked in a kiss, outsiders cease to exist
We'll shut it out (of the fist)
Outsiders cease to exist
We'll shut it out

Eight o'clock, the lights are on at Shea
Phone turned down, we've nothing much to say
Dozing off the TV drones
House key makes them turn and glance for home

Locked in a kiss, outsiders cease to exist
Flayed of the fist
Outsiders cease to exist
We'll shut it out


9.Sugarcube

Whatever you want from me
Whatever you want I'll do
Try to squeeze a drop of blood
From a sugarcube

Try to be more assured
Try to be more right there
Try to be less uptight
Try to be more aware
Whatever you want from me
Is what I want to do for you
Sweeter than a drop of blood
From a sugarcube

And though I like to act the part of being tough
I crumble like a sugarcube
For you

Whatever you want from me
Whatever you want I'll do
And I will try

Whatever you want from me
Whatever you want I'll do
Try to squeeze a drop of blood
Squeeze a drop of blood from a sugarcube


10.Deeper into Movies

I may have been gazing out too late at night
I see a deeper window into my eyes
Every day they screech outside my window,
The crashing cars never seem to collide

Sometimes when I'm staring out my window
To catch the stars, I watch as they go by
I've been getting messages from outer space
They expire light in the window in the sky
There goes my mind

If we dare walk onto my window
I could hear them if I open my eyes

Sometimes flashing lights seem soulful in the window
You may have seen them circle me at night
I keep sending signals into outer space
They expire by your window in the sky
There goes my mind

Every day when restlessness takes over me
I can't see it as I'm closing my eyes
I keep sending signals into outer space
They expire light in the window in the sky

Sometimes when I'm staring out my window
To catch the stars, I watch as they go by
I've been getting messages from outer space
They expire light in the window in the sky

By your window in the sky


11.Shadows

Scold me, that's all you've got to say
Coldly, hurt me and turn away
You say, 'I'm not sorry yet' I'm resigned to what is next
I head for the shadow
Hold me taking it back through tears
You've told me, slowly confessed your fears
But I've got myself to protect. It's too soon for me to forget
I'll wait in the shadows
In the shadows
Though I am alone
They help me, see that I'm the only one in your heart
So until I truly believe that your words convey what you mean
I'll wait in the shadows (2x)
I don't mind the shadows.


12.Damage

Not much Friday night, pinball, Lower East Side
Walked out of the past and into the bar
I used to think about you all the time
I would think about you all the time
Now it just feels weird, that there you are
The damage is done

Feeling like a kid again, my eyes are glued to the floor
I hope I mumbled goodbye as you walked out the door
The damage is done


13.Little Honda

Lyricist:Mike Love, Brian Wilson

I'm gonna wake you up early 'cause I'm gonna take a ride with
you
We're going down to the Honda shop, I'll tell you what we're
gonna do
Put on a ragged sweatshirt, it'll take you anywhere you want me
to

First gear, it's all right, second gear, hang on tight
Third gear, ain't I right? Faster, it's all right

It's not a big motorcycle, just a groovy little motorbike
It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys that two-wheel ride
We'll go on into the hills or anywhere you wanna decide

First gear, it's all right, second gear, hang on tight
Third gear, ain't I right? Faster, it's all right

We'll ride some hills like a champ because my Honda's built
really light
When I go into the turn, lean with me, hang on tight
I think I'll put on the lights, so I can ride mine under the
night

First gear, it's all right, second gear, hang on tight
Third gear, ain't I right? Faster, it's all right

First gear, it's all right, second gear, hang on tight
Third gear, ain't I right? Faster, it's all right


14.My Little Corner of the World

Lyricist:Bob Hilliard, Lee Pockriss

Come along with me to my little corner of the world
Dream a little dream in my little corner of the world
You'll soon forget that there's any other place
Tonight, my love, we'll share a sweet embrace

And if you care to stay in my little corner of the world
We could hide away in my little corner of the world
I always knew that I'd find someone like you
So welcome to my little corner of the world

And if you care to stay in our little corner of the world
We could hide away in our little corner of the world
We always knew that we'd find someone like you
So welcome to our little corner of the world


15.We're an American Band

Driving in the south, the motor's on fire
Let's put it out, before the flames go higher

Monday matinee, in pull we are life's throb
So hard to choose between conceit and rock

Some college in the spring, the sound is all wrong
Reset the mate to our Flamin Groovies song

Driving, night again, they're late, car crash
We'll turn to look unless we're going too fast


16.One PM Again

Well, it's 1 PM again
I guess I'm ready to begin
And it's reeling, there is a feeling
Let's not make any sudden moves

You don't have to show me how
But I'm not ready to right now
There is a feeling, and it's reeling
Let's not make any sudden moves

And if we don't leave today
There's no hurry anyway
I'm on the road here, safe at home here
So let's make sure we're sure
That it is reeling, and I'm pleading
Let's not make any sudden moves
