You Ain't No Sailor by Marcus Mumford


Kate wasn't in to moderation
Thats what led to her frustration
And the state of her crumbling heart
Says I'm not a girl for temperance
Though I know its at my hearts expense
But a downward spiral has to have a rock bottom

x

She paints the walls blue and green
Singing about her lovers and dreams
And explains her helpless desperation
Take off your shoes
Unravel your blues
This place is full of beggars and choosers
But the consequence of her liberty was bad

x

My heart wants to go one way
My mind don't agree
Cause they,
They have fallen out recently

x

Know thy self 
She said as she guided me round the land of the dead
Introducing her friends stuck in the same mess
Ships might be built for sailing my love
And easels made for painting
But you ain't no sailor and I'll never be camera shy

x

My heart wants to go one way
My mind don't agree
Cause they,
They have fallen out recently

x

She said
Will I praise again?
Oh will I praise again?

x

My heart wants to go one way
My mind don't agree
They,
They have fallen out recently

x

She said
Oh will I praise again?
Oh will I praise again?

x

Will I,
Will I sing again?
Will I praise again?

Holocene by Bon Iver



Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it friend, it's on it's head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet
x
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
And I could see for miles, miles, miles
x
3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me 'Lip Parade'
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me
x
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle (Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
And I could see for miles, miles, miles
x x
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory
x
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle (Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
But I could see for miles, miles, miles

Winter Winds by Mumford and Sons


As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts
Oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms
Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?
For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt
x

And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no
This time no."


x
We'll be washed and buried one day my girl
And the time we were given will be left for the world
The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague
So let the memories be good for those who stay
x
And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no"
Yes, my heart told my head
"This time no
This time no."


x

Oh the shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved
Was the same that sent me into your arms
Oh and pestilence is won when you are lost and I am gone
And no hope, no hope will overcome
x
And if your strife strikes at your sleep
Remember spring swaps snow for leaves
You'll be happy and wholesome again
When the city clears and sun ascends
x
And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no."
x
And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no
This time no."
