인디락밴드 Velour 100 출신의 여성 싱어송라이터 Rosie Thomas의 2005년 신작. 본 앨범은 피아노와 기타, 그리고 실로폰 중심의 사운듣를 보여주고 있다. 이것은 나른하고 게으르지만 가끔씩 깨질것 같은 사운드를 보여주기도 하며 여러 영화의 사운드트랙에서 스트링 어레인지를 담당했던 Josh Myers가 참여하였고 한국에서도 인기가 높은 포크 싱어인 Ed Harcourt가 함께 노래를 부르기도 했다. 가사는 대부분이 Rosie Thomas의 개인적인 경험에 비롯되어 만들어 졌다고 한다. 따뜻하고 차분한 전개는 전작과 마찬가지이며 여성 포크 싱어송 라이터들의 음악을 사랑한다면 이여자 역시 그 목록에 끼게 될 것이다. .... ....
I'm wandering I'm crawling I'm two steps away from falling I just can't seem to get around I'm heavy I'm weary I'm not thinking clearly I just can't seem to find solid ground Since you've been around
I'm running I'm hiding I'm afraid you'll never find me because I've always felt lost in the crowd I'm sinking I'm drowning I'm so afraid of losing my head's been spinning round and round since you've been around.
I'm foolish and crazy I just think that maybe I've got a lot of things to figure out I'm winning I'm losing I'm afraid of never choosing this heart of mine was so beaten down before you came around
Put your pretty dress on it's time for you to go to the dance tie your hair in ribbons and lace and wear pearls round your neck And all the pretty princes will see you All the pretty princes will see you Some day Some day
Put your red boots on it's time for you to walk home from school every one will laugh they'll point fingers at you they'll be cruel but cover up your ears and don't listen because you'll know much better than them some day some day
and they'll wave to you and they'll wave to you
put your red coat on and walk with a light in the woods if it gets dark dont get scared there's so much waiting for you cover up your tears and dont show them cause you'll know much better than them some day some day
and they'll wave to you and they'll wave to you and they'll wave to you and they'll wave to you
cause they don't see you like i see you if they did, they'd see the nice litte girl whose grown up to become homecoming queen
put your pretty dress on put your red boots on
and they'll wave to you and they'll wave to you and we'll wave to you and we'll wave to you
put your pretty dress on put your red boots on put your red coat on put your pretty dress on put your pretty dress on put your red coat on put your red boots on put you pretty dress
She's like a sweater, old and used Tossed and overworn too many times through And she used to look so bright All her seams were tightly tied
She's like a sweater that's just worn out Fading, coffee stained, and out of style And she's just about to run Before her stitches come undone
She's gonna pack her bags & leave No more loose, unravelled seams She is young & she still has her confidence And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
She's like a fire in the rain His words will damp her eyes & heat her veins And the love she thought she found was just another Hand-me-down of dwindled grace
She's gonna pack her bags & leave No more loose, unravelled seams She is young & she still has her confidence And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
She's found a refuge for her face While dividing her unfortunate displace Now she stands too high for them to ring her dry She's found her way
She's gonna pack her bags & leave No more loose, unravelled seams She is young & she still has her confidence And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
Boy you said some pretty things Then you close the door on me Then you left me wondering to myself
Where does all the romance go Like we find in picture shows? Maybe I'm feeling sorry for myself
And I know that time will tell Clear as a bell You were not the one I'm sure I'll convince myself To get over you Maybe it will come When the day is done
I hope that you kick yourself Holding hands with someone else Then you realise that she's not the one Some day some boy will fall In love with all my flaws And he sure will be the lucky one
And I know that time will tell Clear as a bell You were not the one I'm sure I'll convince myself To get over you Maybe it will come When the day is done
And I know that time will tell Clear as a bell You were not the one I'm sure I'll convince myself To get over you Maybe it will come When the day is done
Say what you want to say Play this game your way It's over anyway You didn't give it up for love
Take what you want to take Take back the words you'll say They never mattered anyway You didn't give it up for love No you didn't give, give it up for love
When I look through the photographs And I see the smile on your face I remember how you used to feel And I see how much has changed
Say what you want to say I'll carry on the same Maybe you'll look back someday You didn't give it up for love No you didn't give, give it up for love
When I look through the photographs And I see the smile on your face I remember how you used to feel And I see how much has changed
When I look through the photographs And I see the smile on your face I remember how you used to feel And I see how much has changed
Say what you want to say Play this game your way You will know someday You didn't give it up for love No you didn't give, give it up for love No you didn't give, give it up for love
He took me to the hillside He liked to take me there He took me every Saturday He put flowers in my hair
And we laughed like my mother said she once did With my father on his birthday when they went swimming And he took her hand into his And he told her that he loved her And his words held meaning, then
How do we make these moments last? And, how do we get them to stay? When everything passes and time goes away
He took me to the theater He liked to take me there He took me every Saturday We didn't talk in there
And we laughed like my mother said she once did With her sister on her birthday when she was seventeen They took her car out for a spin Along the ocean with the top down And life held meaning then
How do we make these moments last? How do we get them to stay? When everything passes and time goes away
And how do we make these moments last? And, how do we get them to stay? When everything passes and time goes away
I can't, I can't stop crying Everyday I'm so afraid Afraid of dying Death already came and got me Cause I'm not living... I'm not living anyway...
And who am i supposed to be? Everybody seems to see except for me Who cares anyway.... Cause when it's over, It's all over, and what you gain you throw away
When will love ever find me? All my life all I've craved is to be seen Who cares anyway... Cause when it's over, All that matters is the love you gave away
