lyrics

Well, she had too much to drink
baby tumbled down the stairs
She was howling like a hound
with her heels in the air

nobody cared to notice
I guess it caught you unaware
when that pigeon built a nest
in the tangle of your hair

Ive found it hard to retrieve
your memory from my dreams
to wash your heart from my sleeve
so wet and warm

You wake-up every morning
with that devil in your bed
there's a heron in your heart
with it's wings forged of lead

Baby, I still can not shake-it
all thos silly things you said
as you slithered like a snake
through the voices in my head

Then you swallowed everything
you swallowed everything
you swallowed everything
that meant a damn to me
You Animal

Ive found it hard to retrieve
your memory from my dreams
to wash your heart from my sleeve
so wet and warm

I still can not believe
that you chose to perceive
our love as something you had no
patience for

You Animal!

Winter Creatures
by Grand Hallway

Fact: Tomo Nakayama is one of the greatest songsmiths working today. He's also pretty much the sweetest soul around. I feel honored that he lent his talents to "Farewell, tender heart." The Josey Dears

My Beloved Ghost EP (Plus Bonus Tracks)
by King Dude

So, I lived in Seattle for 13 frickin' years and was never introduced to King Dude or his music. Now I'm crashing on a couch in Brooklyn listening to this shit through headphones and it's slaying me! The Josey Dears

Mean Time
by Davey and the Chains

This cat can do no wrong. All self recorded and produced. Reminds me of early K Records stuff mixed with the Talking heads (or something.) Otherworldly, really. The kinda music that starts trends. The Josey Dears
