Drowned In Sound

I ride in my imaginary car with my imaginary bride

On Fake Shore Drive
On Fake Shore Drive

I don’t know what I’m doing here
I think things are moving too fast
And I am filled with a sudden fear
That things aren’t going to last

On Fake Shore Drive
I ride by never-ending tides tied to the never-ending sky  
On Fake Shore Drive

I don’t what I’m doing here
All the walls are caving in
I am filled with a sudden fear
It will end before it begins
I get the sense that nothing’s real 
The future’s becoming the past
So don’t tell me you cannot feel that
Things aren’t going to last
No, things just cannot last

On Fake Shore Drive
On Fake Shore Drive

I don’t know what I’m doing here
I’ve no divine right
The months turn into years 
As the day turns into night
The day turns into night
The day turns into night
And things aren’t going to last
No, things just cannot last
Coz life just moves too fast
And things just never last
Your future’s now the past
Nothing ever lasts



Fake Shore Drive

Dancing in the Sea of Tranquility 
That’s where I will be
When they come look for me

Tiny Mix Tapes I have managed to fake my own death
Tiny Mix Tapes nobody knows except yourself
Tiny Mix Tapes I like to be the reason people cry 
Tiny Mix Tapes they’re all shaking their heads and asking why

We’re gathered here today to celebrate the life of someone who was led astray
So let’s bow our heads and pray for the souls of all those sinners facing judgement day 

Tiny Mix Tapes apparently I was a decent man
Tiny Mix Tapes my enemy just shook my father’s hand

We’re gathered here today to celebrate the life of someone who was led astray
So let’s bow our heads and pray for the souls of those sinners facing judgement day 

We’re gathered here today to celebrate the life of someone who was led astray
So let’s bow our heads and pray for the souls of all those sinners facing judgement day 
We’re gathered here today to celebrate the life of someone who was led astray
So let’s bow our heads and pray for the souls of all those sinners facing judgement day 

Amen
Amen
Amen

I’m going to try my best to find
The wild honey pie
The wild honey pie

I’ll use my eyes to identify
The wild honey pie
The wild honey pie
I shall identify
The wild honey pie

I don’t want to even be considered an artist
These songs of mine are a shrine to my vanity
Don’t you know I asked my folks for some money just to help me get started
I should know by now that money doesn’t grow on trees

And so why do I still I try
Try to find the wild honey pie


The Wild Honey Pie

Pop matters coz that is what you are
Pop matters that’s why you don’t like superstars
Pop matters coz no one knows your name
Pop matters coz being no one brings you shame

Pop matters to very many men
Women, children, children’s children, it all starts again

Pop matters maybe not a lot to you
But you’re deluded if you like it when no one talks about you

Have you never had a dream in which your enemies have reason to complain?   
Have you never had a dream in which you’re idolised by people you disdain?

Pop matters that is your revenge
Pop matters it’s the only way you’re going to change 

Pop matters who is laughing now
Pop matters bitterness is not allowed

Pop matters to very many men
Women, children, children’s children, here we go again

Pop matters and if you are not sure
Can you say if you tried, you’d be glad to stay obscure

Have you never had a dream in which your enemies have reason to complain?   
Have you never had a dream in which you’re idolised by people you disdain?



Pop Matters

Don’t be afraid to be terrified
Don’t be afraid of what you haven’t tried
Don’t be afraid of what might wind up being your suicide
Just ride the four oh five

Don’t be a slave to memories of darker times
You’ll be amazed once you have reached the other side
Don’t be afraid of mountains you thought you could never climb
Just ride the four oh five

You will feel so alive when you ride the 405 (the 405, the 405, come and ride the 405)
You will feel so alive, if you die, you won’t mind (the 405, the 405, come and ride the 405)

Don’t be afraid of what lies deep inside
The hidden maze that is your frightened mind
You are crazy to go look for things you’ll never find
Just ride the four oh five

You will feel so alive when you ride the 405 (the 405, the 405, come and ride the 405)
You will feel so alive, if you die, you won’t mind (the 405, the 405, come and ride the 405)

I’m holding on
I’m holding on 

Don’t be afraid of never feeling strong
You’ll be amazed once you have crossed the Rubicon
Don’t be afraid of being that guy who always gets it wrong
Just ride the four oh five





The 405

Give me a sign
Nialler 9
Now is the time
Nialler 9
Help me to find
Where I’m supposed to go

Sitting in my room trying to induce a state of panic
Trying to establish the existence of free will
But I cannot do it and so now I understand it
Now I understand why people kill

Nialler 9
Give me a sign
Nialler 9
Now is the time
Nialler 9
Help me to find
Where I’m supposed to go

Sitting in my room trying to induce a state of wellness
Wondering if I will gain admission to your club
But finding out if she is there will only make me jealous
Now I understand why people love

What is the reason for the seasons do you know?
Why have I the feeling that she will have to go?

Nialler 9
Give me a sign
Nialler 9
Now is the time
Nialler 9
Help me to find
Where I’m supposed to go

Some songs just get under your skin
Whether you like it or not
Whether you let em in

And some songs burrow into your soul
Whether you like it or not
You’ve no control

It’s stereogum
Stereogum
It’s Stereogum	
Stereogum

Some songs just will not go away
They’ll be stuck in your head
For the rest of the day

It’s stereogum
Stereogum
It’s Stereogum	
Stereogum

I wish that I was always stuck inside your head the way that you are always stuck in mine
I think about you as I climb into this empty bed, and how true love is just so hard to find

Some songs will play tricks with your mind
They won’t change your life
But they might make you smile

And some songs may mean nothing to you
But that doesn’t mean what they say isn’t true

It’s stereogum
Stereogum
It’s Stereogum	
Stereogum

I wish that I was always stuck inside your head the way that you are always stuck in mine
I think about you as I climb into this empty bed, and how true love is just so hard to find

It’s Stereogum

It’s Stereogum

Once upon a time there lived a largehearted boy
And he lay in bed wondering what it’s like to die
And the mother of this philosopher worried all the while
She loves him but she wished he were an ordinary child
Like the boy of the mother down the road

But the large hearted boy
Just keeps staring into what he likes to call an empty void
And the mother often wonders if there’s nothing to be done  
But to whisper to the wall beyond which lies her only son and go 

You are you, you are nobody else
You are you, you are nobody else
You can choose to be kind to yourself
You can choose to be kind to yourself

Whatever happened to the largehearted boy
He never learned to laugh, to love - a life without joy
But he knew how it felt to be on your own
He never went off the rails and hung himself at home 
Like the boy of the mother down the road


Largehearted Boy
