The National - Şarkı Sözleri

The National - Cardinal Song
 
Never look her in the eyes
never tell the truth
if she knows your paper
you know she'll have to burn you

never tell the one you want that you do
save it for the deathbed
when you know you kept her wanting you

and do everything she'd never do

fall asleep with stranger's wives
the wild wives of unknown men
good for you, you've just become
just another one of them

never say you miss her
never say a word

and do everything she'd never do
 
don't let her see your cardinal eyes
don't let her see your cardinal eyes

let her treat you like a criminal
so you can treat her like a priest
girls forgive my human mind
girls forgive me one more time

never tell the one you love that you do
save it for the deathbed

and do everything she'd never do

don't let her see your cardinal eyes
don't let her see your cardinal eyes

jesus christ you have confused me
cornered, wasted, blessed and used me
forgive me girls i am confused
stiff and pissed and lost and loose

jesus christ you have confused me
cornered, wasted, blessed and used me
forgive me girls i am confused
stiff and pissed and lost and loose
 
The National - Conversation 16
 
I think the kids are in trouble
i do not know what all the troubles are for
give them ice for their fevers
you're the only thing i ever want anymore
we'll live on coffee and flowers
try not to wonder what the weather will be
i figured out what we're missing
tell you miserable things after you are asleep

now we'll leave the silver city
cause all the silver girls gave us black dreams
leave the silver city
cause all the silver girls
everything means everything

it's a hollywood summer
you never believe the shitty thoughts i think
we had friends out for dinner
when i said what i said i didn't mean anything
we belong in a movie
try to hold it together till our friends are gone
we should swim in a fountain
I do not want to disappoint anyone

now we'll leave the silver city
cause all the silver girls gave us black dreams
leave the silver city
 
to all the silver girls
everything means everything

I was afraid I'd eat your brains
I was afraid I'd eat your brains

Cause I'm evil
Cause I'm evil

Im a confident liar
Have my head in the oven so you know where i'll be
I try to be more romantic
i wanna believe in everything you believe
i was less than amazing
i do not know what all the troubles are for
i fall asleep in your branches
you're the only thing i ever want anymore

now we'll leave the silver city
cuz all the silver girls gave us black dreams
eave the silver city
to all the silver girls
everything means everything

I was afraid I'd eat your brains
I was afraid I'd eat your brains

Cause I'm evil
Cause I'm evil
Cause I'm evil
 
The National - Daughters Of The Soho Riots
 
I have your good clothes in the car
So cut your hair so no one knows
I have your dreams and your teeth marks
And all my fingernails are painted

I'm here to take you now

You were right about the end
It didn't make a difference
Everything I can remember
I remember wrong

How can anybody know
How they *** to be this way
You must have known I'd do this someday
Break my arms around the one I love
And be forgiven by the time my lover comes
Break my arms around my love

Break my arms around the one I love
And be forgiven by the time my lover comes
Break my arms around my love
 
I don't have any questions
I don't think it's gonna rain
You were right about the end
It didn't make a difference

I'm here to take you now

Out among the missing sons and daughters of the SoHo riots
Out among the missing sons and daughters of the SoHo riots

I'm here to take you now

How can anybody know
how they *** to be this way
You must have known I'd do this someday
Break my arms around the one I love
And be forgiven by the time my lover comes
Break my arms around my love

Break my arms around the one I love
And be forgiven by the time my lover comes
Break my arms around my love

Break my arms around the one I love

Can someone send a runner
For a guardian a runner
For the guardian I lost today?

You must be somewhere in London
You must be lovin' the life in the rain
You must be somewhere in London
Go and marry (?)

I don't even think to make
Never even think to make
You don't even think to make corrections

Famous angels never come through England
England gets the ones you never need
Minor singin' airheads come through England
Minor singin' airheads come for me

Sorry I'm a headache
I am sorry I'm a headache
But a guardian is lost today
 
Sorry I'm a headache
But a guardian is lost today

Sorry I'm a headache
I am sorry I'm a headache
But a guardian is lost today

Sorry I'm a headache
But a guardian is lost today

You must be somewhere in London
You must be lovin' the life in the rain
You must be somewhere in London
Go and marry (?)

Minor singin' airheads come for me

Try to be nice stay the night with the sinners
Try to be nice stay the night with the sinners
Try to be nice cos we're desperate to entertain

The National - Fake Empire
 
Stay out super late tonight
picking apples, making pies
put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
we're half-awake in a fake empire
we're half-awake in a fake empire

Tiptoe through our shiny city
with our diamond slippers on
do our gay ballet on ice
 
bluebirds on our shoulders
we're half-awake in a fake empire
we're half-awake in a fake empire

Turn the light out say goodnight
no thinking for a little while
lets not try to figure out everything at once
It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
we're half-awake in a fake empire
we're half-awake in a fake empire
 
The National - Fashion Coat
 
In a fashion coat I float down my city
don't you think I look pretty anymore
I'll do everything to you but I can hardly come
cause I'm so afraid of you falling

I die fast in this city
outside I die slow

I'm not stupid I swear
I read the foreign news to understand my nation
 
you get two options in The You Estates
black city bloodbath or white country rape

I die fast in this city
outside I die slow
I die fast in this city
outside I die slow

everywhere I am is just another thing without you in it
(repeat)
 
The National - Forever After Days
 
On my feet i stand tonight, stand and step up to the light
an extraordinary man unbroken in the breaking light

forever after days, stand and make myself a crown
to the table i step alone, hold my own above the ground
take my shot under the light, heroes come a common way
pull myself into the sky, wrap me in the banner i made
