re: What's a song lyric that resonates with you?

It's in my signature line...by Courtney Barnett...words i live by.

Small Poppies....sultry blues

Stop and look at the deer track
grabbin me a beer in the back
Thirty aught six by my side
can you feel dat

The LACS

I got electric guitar
I play my stupid songs
I write these stupid words

And I love everyone
Waiting there for me
Yes I do

Repugnant is the creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to Heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.

“Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream…”

quote:

---

Mirrors in the room go black and blue
On a Sunday morning in Saturday shoes
We don't choose who we love
We don't choose

In a Sunday suit, with the Saturday beat
She don't love who she chose
She don't need what she do

Daylight comes in exposin'
Saturday bruises and cold roses
Cold roses

Nothin' but the sunlight'll help you grow from underneath your bed
You can't see the window
We don't choose what we see
We don't choose

Fortunate and angry just like a child
All that money buys you medicine but can't buy you time
We don't choose what we love
And she don't need what she got

Daylight comes in exposin'
Saturday bruises and cold roses

Cold roses
Cold roses
Cold roses
Cold roses

There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold
The folks moved out of it a long time ago
And they took all their things and they never came back
It looks like it's haunted with the windows all cracked
Everyone calls it the house
The house where nobody lives

Once it held laughter
Once it held dreams, did they throw it away, did they know what it means?
Did someone's heart break
Or did someone do somebody wrong?

Well, the paint is all cracked, it was peeled off of the wood
The papers were stacked on the porch where I stood
And the weeds had grown up just as high as the door
There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawers
Looks like no one will ever come back
To the house where nobody lives

Oh, and once it held laughter
Once it held dreams, did they throw it away, did they know what it means?
Did someone's heart break
Or did someone do somebody wrong?

So if you find someone
Someone to have, someone to hold, don't trade it for silver
Oh, don't trade it for gold
'Cause I have all of life's treasures and they're fine and they're good
They remind me that houses are just made of wood
What makes a house grand, oh, it ain't the roof or the doors
If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure
But without love it ain't nothin' but a house
A house where nobody lives
But without love
It ain't nothin' but a house, a house where nobody lives

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it oughtta be.

Believe me

Never realized until recently the song was about being so blinded by love with someone so as to not see how manipulative they are to you.
