Scattered Leaves by The Be Good Tanyas
Audio:
Don't you go looking so surprised, baby don't you look so stunned Didn't I tell you that a cold november'd come? And deliver the leaves from green to red, To blowing in the wind stone dead
Well I never used to notice this awful quiet, mmmmh And fall was just the calm before the next spring riot, mmmhh Of wildflowers and lunatic rivers - Sweat jumping off of the skin of love givers, mmh (in the park)
Scattered leaves don't lie Aw' now baby, baby, quit your cryin' Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered Like every love word you heard But that's just the way when you walk your days In the beauty of this world (repeat)
Pretty little disappointments all in a row Been about a year since you disappeared through my door And now you come back with your head on straight, But I got no love or hate left for you, girl
You must be the daughter of the late, late rose - I'm November's son And I'm here to tell you, honey, ooh what's done is done Yeah, I been claimed by the wind and the rain There ain't no going back, naw there ain't no going back again (for us now)
The Be Good Tanyas "Human Thing"
Human Thing (Frazey Ford)
Yer a human thing Who yah think that you're foolin” Yer not foolin”, not foolin' me Yer a human thing Yer so busy frontin' Confusin” courage and acting Move me Move me Could it really be so wrong To let somebody, somebody see. Move me Move me A girl can keep it together Come on now, you know you we'll take the weather Come on now, you know we love your weather You got roots cannot be torn from under Won't you shake it like you've never done before You've got roots cannot be torn from under Won't you shake it like you've never done before You're a human thing
