Lyrics:

I have your good clothes in the car
So cut your hair so no one knows
I have your dreams and your teeth marks
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 got 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 got 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

Is Leonard Cohen back?...Please Kottke has a better voice ...It's definitely from his genre.

I just bought some brie that tasted a lot different than I expected. Very bitter. Unlike this song.

This song smells like old cheese.

Heehee...I don't know Leo Kottke's voice well enough to agree or not. But that was just damned funny.

Can't believe no one mentioned the Lloyd Cole and the Commotions (c. Rattlesnakes) feel to this...

And by "funniest", you mean "kind of funny", and by "in a long time", you mean in the last 5 or 10 minutes. I hope. or, Ploafmaster thought bubble: "Look at me. I can disagree with some smart-ass negative comment about a song I like and I'm still open-minded enough to laugh at it! Dagnabbit, I have to give myself a 10." :)

Is he singing? Or just mumbling listlessly?

It's a great album... if you love this kind of voice like I do. Worthwhile lyrics.

I uploaded Abel and it got Sorried, so I guess you're right. It is a damn cool song though. I do like this one quite a bit too. Gribnif wrote:
Not their best song. I'd really like to hear "Abel" here on RP, but I suspect it's a little too loud (which is suprising, given this song).

this song just seems to get going a little too late. hope i hear something else from them though seems as if it might have promise.

Reflective, deliciously sexy singing from an otherwise unremarkable voice. A lullaby in sound, but for the topics: "How can anybody know how they got to be this way?" "Break my arms around my love"

Agreed, would be good background music.

Interesting lyrics sung in a very boring way, if you can call it singing.

More creative than the last song but not that great. Good music, needs better lyrics. Faster Tempo!
