Leap Of Faith

How's this for an unexpected cover?? I never really listened to Veruca Salt in their heyday, but now I'm addicted to them. Those ladies ROCK!! Give 'em another listen...those high, floating harmonies and that mid-range guitar KRUNCH! Awesome. In tribute, here's a song I just could not get out of my head...so I threw together a quick cover with me doing all of the singing (with a little vocal fixing, of course).

Victrola (VerucaSalt Cover)

A song about her new lover...

Here are the lyrics:

Dear new lover
now that you've met
her mother
don't you know what's coming after?

One is not enough
and pretty soon
she'll send you off
just like her mom did to her father

Blonde new lover
a nazi undercover
i 'm sure enough you think that
black lives don't matter

So much stronger
than her previous lover
lift up your weights
and take your pills like no other

Well history is repeating
left for a while and lost
the chair i was sitting on
who could wait for more  
a chair wouldn't care...

Her new lover 
just told me not to love her
but my heart aches
so much, i suffer

He said "move on
go out and find another
'cause now i' m the one 
who's friend with her brother"

Well history is repeating
left for a while and lost
the chair i was sitting on
who could wait for more 
a chair wouldn't care...

Her New Lover

Takeover - What Now (1994) (recorded 2021)

Written, Arranged, and Recorded by Amy O’Bryan

Wonderin’ how to make your wishes come true after talking to you on the phone – I said, “Dad, what you want me to do when you’re dead and gone?”

Chorus:
You can throw me in a ditch for all I care,
Leave me on this farm; I wanna die right here,
If you have a funeral they’ll all stop and stare,
Burn me up, whatever you decide, is fair.

Now, I’m confused, I thought you wanted me to bury you with a case of beer?  In a pocket tee, with a carton of smokes, and a worn out pair of old work boots

Chorus

花開く
薫り部屋に満ちる
夜光る
闇、暗みを増して
火を点す
手の器に受ける
扉開け
夜気に潤える影
鬼火燃え
子どもと犬が追う

Flowers bloom.
The room is filled with fragrance.
The night gleams.
The darkness increases its darkness.
Light a candle.
I cupped my hands and catch the flame.
Opened the door.
The night filled with dampness.
I am an ignis fatuum.
A child and a dog follow me.

Ignes Fatui

Thanks again to Amanda for adding her voice to this track (and for keeping that window ajar).  Please listen to her other great tracks on @phoebeelena.

Tie another balloon
to the skyline 
We could hold the sun 
between the shade
We might light the moon
it is high time
that we walked upon the stage

Swing on sycamores
we'll grow wise
we might count the lines til we grow old
Maybe we set sail on the last tide
We're never coming home

I have seen the world
and my faultlines
glitter like the skies of grey and gold
We might be the fools for the last time
but we're never letting go

Cry lightning bolts
Cry Lightning bolts
Cry lightning bolts
Cry lightning bolts

In turn send shivers upon my spine
In turn send shivers upon my spine
In turns send shivers upon my spine
And love send shivers

I have seen the world
and its shorelines
glitter like the skies of grey and gold
We might be the fools
but it's high time
and we're never coming home

Lyrics 
Can you get me my shoes please, can you help me
I am lost, I don’t know where to go
I lost my shoes, I lost love, I lost my mind 
Can you help me, can you help me please

Dark skies, it looks rain
Get me, I’ve looked everywhere in this wasteland of consumer greed
Get me my shoes please
I don’t want to ask
Wont you get them back to me
Wont you help me

Can you help me 
Wont you come on down here
It looks like rain, wont you help me please 
I don’t want to get wet again 
Wont you help me please

Go and get your shoes girl
I want to take a walk with you down the street, in the sun, you and I
We’ll go for a walk, you and I
Come to me 
Wont you help me please 
I lost my shoes, I lost my love, I lost my mind can you help me please 
Dark skies it looks like rain

I’ll go and get my shoes so we can take a walk, down the street, in the sun 
We’ll take that walk, you and I 
Wont you help me please 
Can you help me get my shoes please

Go and get your shoes girl
I want to take a walk with you down the street, in the sun, you and I 
We’ll go for a walk, you and I
Well take that walk
Get my shoes please
