lyrics

flowers press my hands
down in the dirt
I wish I didn’t have to take them out

because they might be dead
I think instead I’m gonna let them sit
so they can spread the seeds of some generosity

breakfast is the best
you always know what you’re gonna get
a day of uncertainty comes with responsibility

the music is good to hear
the floor is fun to watch
the beer is good to drink
but I wish I brought my cat and dog

*where is the address of the avenue I live on
and why can’t I find it*

household exploration
who needs a neighborhood anyway

slight decomposition
of a face I used to know
days are growing faster with some soil in my eyes

life tastes like cinnamon
but only on the weekends
sagebrush smells wildfire in the kitchen

sometimes I like my hair to grow
and sometimes I like it short
but how I walk around is not your business of any sort

there’s nothing left to steal
space only to pass by
when the roots are in your head
and your feet pressed to the sky

**

a man comes to the party
water flowing out his ears
sailing back from a nonsense dream

making up some symbols
so they don’t make any sense
I wish he would stop talking cause he’s got a big head

next to the house there is a park with a big hill
pretty friendly neighbors
who caress the humdrum spell

the music is good to hear
the floor is fun to watch
the beer is good to drink
but I wish I brought my cat and dog

Guitar tones caress us with a twang of gold as we gaze up in awe. Hanging above us are hundreds of singing pitcher plants, their bodies filled with sweet nectar. There is an undercurrent of menace buried deep within this song, a faint screaming of insects as they are being devoured. The Doll

by Angel Olsen

I guess what separates Angel Olsen from other artists I dig is that I really love her lyrics. Well that's true for most artists I admire, actually. Except Interpol. My god, those lyrics really trip up the songs. In any case, Angel would be a top 3 lyricist in my book but for this: "This time of year the nights fall longer/So grow a spine or catch cold". Is she calling me spineless? Somehow a lesser man? It's bad enough that I avoid the mirror for this reason, I don't need this abuse from Angel. Bill H
