Shades

You gave me a present
The paper was blue and green
I unwrapped it with pleasure
These are the best shades I've ever seen
You can be my girlfriend
Forever and a day
I never thought I was worth much
Or that anyone would treat me this way
I'm not
The kind of guy
Who dresses like a king
And a really fine pair of shades
Means everything
And the light that blinds my eyes
Shines from you
It makes me come in the night
It makes me swim with delight
I like this pain
I like this mirror
I like these shades
I could have had a problem
I might have never followed through
The other guys are in trouble
They wouldn't listen to a girl like you
These shades say something
I'll bet they cost a lot
I hope I don't break 'em
I hope we don't break up
I'm not
The kind of guy
Who dresses like a king
And a really fine pair of shades
Means everything
And the light that blinds my eyes
Shines from you
It makes me come in the night
It makes me swim with delight
I like this pain
I like this mirror
I like these shades

Head Full of Nails

There’s an open wound someplace south of my neck, north of my toes
Where the blood spills out of a geysers mouth and spoils my ivory robes
By the river slow and easy, still I don’t know where it flows
I wanna know where you go, when you go
In the poison room of the time hotel every crack is a swollen tongue
That sings to me my eulogy, the last breath of a golden lung
I kept my heart a secret now I bleed naked in the snow
I wanna know where you go, when you go
I loved you like a brother, I kept you safe from sulfur eyes
And you treat me like a Trojan horse just to take ‘em all by surprise
I took my horn down to the club, for I felt that I might blow
I wanna know where you go, when you go
A head filled with nails was found face down in a lake
When they pulled him out the police new it could be no mistake
They found 29 nails in his brain and one lodged in his nose
I wanna know where you go, when you go
I caught time in a cage I kept it captive for a while
I staved it and I beat it but I still got no reply
I asked that it might take me and leave you old to never grow
I wanna know where you go, when you go

I love the seedy, silly, simple, lo-fi, weird feel of this album! Fave: Real Bad Lookin'

Korean Boyfriend makes catchy, wonky, new wave-influenced art-rock with deadpan observations from their personal worlds.

The songs on the latest from Absolutely Free feel as expansive as a cloudless sky, with ringing guitars and bright-eyed melodies.

Geneva Freeport
by Absolutely Free
This EP (which features Meg Remy of U.S. Girls) is punchy dance-punk that operates at a low, insistent simmer.

The sexual energy from this recording intimidates Barry White and Marvin Gaye. Donny B's bass playing is fire. The whole album is great. But this song and its lyrical idea is my favourite - leave your relationship for a one stand with Donny. Who could resist?
