OccultHawk

Lame not following the rules


I wear skin like Jesus
Sick of bull**** preachers
Concerned with aborted fetus
But don't give a **** who feeds us

Neapolitan

When I'll buy my mansion I'll invite the world to stay
So everyone can see a picture of Dorian Gray
We'll sit by the river drinking lemon tea
And there's a thousand midget Russians in midget submarines

you drew an airplane flying through my head
i might as well be dead
let those fireflies chew off my legs
cause i don't wanna ever dance no more

Neapolitan

Sapphire her burning eyes
Model euphonic paradigms
Awkwardness happening to someone you love

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat."
"We smoked the last one an hour ago."
So I looked at the scenery. She read her magazine.
And the moon rose over an open field.

And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

Sage Francis - Slow Down Ghandi
But some of y'all still haven’t grown into your face and your face doesn't quite match your head
And I'm waiting for a brain to fill the dead space that's left you're all, "Give me ethnicity or give me dreads."
Trustafundian rebel without a cause for alarm
cause when push turns to shove you jump into your forefathers' arms


Florence and the Machine - Various Storms and Saints
And the air was full of various storms and saints parading in the streets as the banks began to break
And I'm in the throes of it somewhere in the belly of the beast
But you took your toll on me so I gave myself over willingly
You got a hold on me and I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream I am teaching myself how to be free


Florence and the Machine - Strangeness and Charm
It started from your arms and it's a catalyst
You're a chemical that burns there's nothing like this
It's the purest element but it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent, a drug for angels

The fight's begun, they've been released.
Killing foe for peace...bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang...
And they're giving me a wonderful potion,
'cause I cannot contain my emotion.

In the deep cold of night
Winter calls, he cries "Don't deny me!"
For his lady, deep her illness
Time has caught her, and will for all reasons take her

September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619

"They declared me unfit to live
Said into that black void my soul'd be hurled.
They wanna know why I did what I did?
Sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world."

Bruce Springsteen, "Nebraska"

Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless.
Dearest, the shadows
I live with are numberless.

Little white flowers
Will never awaken you.
Not where the black coach
Of sorrow has taken you.

Angels have no thought
Of ever returning you.
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you?

Gloomy is Sunday,
With shadows I spend it all.
My heart and I, have
Decided to end it all.

From Hey Juana off Jeffrey Lee Pierce's solo album, Wildweed.

Tell Baby Romi
Call Murray the Man
We gonna grab that can
And bring it on home

then skipping a bit

Now, Nick the Cave
He spent all his pay
On a bottle of gin
And a shark without a fin

First verse references the bassists for The Gun Club at the time, and I believe who played bass on his solo album, the second I listed obviously makes reference to Nick Cave.
