Elephant
This has got to die
This has got to stop
This has got to lie down
Someone else on top
This has got to stop
This has got to lie down
Someone else on top
You can keep me pinned
'Cause it's easier to
tease
But you can't paint an
elephant
Quite as good as she
She may cry like a baby
Drive me crazy 'cause
I like you
So why'd you have to lie?
I take it I'm your crutch
The pillow in your pillow
case
It's easier to touch
When you think you're
safe
You fall upon your knees
But you're living in
your picture
Breathe, and she may
rise if I sing you down
And she may drive me
into the ground
'Cause I'm lately, horny..
'Cause I like you, will
she take me
Dogs
She lives with an orange
tree
The girl who does yoga
She picks the dead ones
from the ground
When we come over
She gives
I get
Without giving
Anything to me
Like a morning sun
Like a morning
Like a morning sun
Morning sun for me
Girl that does yoga
When we come over
Girl that does yoga
And he lives with a little
house
On the side of a little
hill
Picks the litter from
the ground
Litter little brother
spills
He gives
I get
Without giving
Anything to me
The days they
And the dogs they run
And the dogs they run
The good good morning
sun
Side of a little hill
Litter little brother
spills
Side of a little hill
And she's always dressed
in white
She's like an angel
And she burns our eyes
And she turns
She pulls a smile
We drive her round
And she drives us wild
And she moves like a
little girl
I become a child, man
And she moves my world
And she gets smashed
in (??)
And walks away
and leaves me standing
She lives with a little
dog
That's gone just a little
mad
She's got a wolf to keep
her warm
If ever she's feeling
sad
And she gives
He gets
Without giving
Anything to see
And the day it ends
And the day it
And the day it ends
And there's no need for
me
The girl who does yoga
When we come over
The side of a little
hill
Litter little brother
spills
Gonna be the man
If ever she's feeling
sad
Girl who does yoga
Damien Rice
- Grey Room
Well I’ve been here before
I’ve sat on the floor
In a grey grey room
Where I stay in all day
I don’t eat, but I play
With this grey grey food
Désolé,
If someone is prayin’
Then I might break out
Désolé,
even if I scream
I can’t scream that loud
I’m all alone again
Crawling back home again
Just stuck by the phone
again
Yeah, well I’ve been here
before
Sat on a floor
In a grey grey mood
Where I stay up all night
And all that I write
Is a grey grey tune
So pray for me child
Just for a while
And I might break out
yeah,
Pray for me child
Even a smile
Would do for now
So I’m all alone again
Crawling back home again
Just stuck by the phone
again
Have I still got you to
be my open door
Have I still got you
to be my sandy shore
Have I still got you
to cross my bridge in this storm
Have I still got you
to keep me warm
Coz if I squeeze my grape
And I drink my wine yeah
Coz if I squeeze my grape
And I drink my wine yeah
Yeah, Oh coz nothing
is lost
This is frozen in frost
And it’s opening time
And there’s no-one in
line
But I’ve still got me
to be your open door
I’ve still got me to
be your sandy shore
I’ve still got me to
cross your bridge in this storm
And I’ve still got me
to keep me warm
Warmer than warm yeah
Warmer than warm yeah
Warmer than warm yeah
Warmer than warm yeah
Damien Rice - Accidental Babies
Well I held you like
a lover
Happy hands
And elbow in the appropriate
place
And we ignore our others
Happy plans
That delicate look upon
your face
A mind crystal hardened
Hurting parts of your
garden
With no room for a pardon
In a place where no one
knows
What we have done
Do you come
Together ever with him
Is he dark enough
Enough to see your light
Do you brush your teeth
before you kiss
Do you miss my smell
And is he bold enough
to take you on
Do you feel like you
belong
And does he drive you
wild
Or just mildly free
What about me
Well you held me like
a lover
Sweaty hands
And my foot in the appropriate
place
And we use cushions to
cover
Happy glands
In mild issue of our
disgrace
Our bodies pressed and
hardened
Turning our desire in
With no room for a pardon
In a place where no one
knows
What we have done
Well I know I make you
cry
And I know sometimes
you wanna die
But do you really feel
alive without me
If so, be free
If not, leave him for
me
Before one of us has
accidental babies
We aren't free
Do you come
Together ever with him
Is he dark enough
Enough to see your light
Do you brush your teeth
before you kiss
Do you miss my smell
Is he bold enough to
take you on
Do you feel like you
belong
And does he drive you
wild
Or just mildly free
What about me
What about me
What about...

The
Animals Were Gone
Woke up and for the first
time the animals were gone
It's left this house
empty now, not sure if I belong
Yesterday you asked me
to write you a pleasant song
I'll do my best now but
you've been gone now for so long
The window's open now
and the winter settles in
We'll call it Christmas
when the adverts begin
I love your depression
and I love your double chin
I love most everything
you bring to this offering
Oh I know that I've left
you in places of despair
Oh I know that I love
you so please throw down your hair
At night I dream without
you
And hope I don't wake
up
Cause waking up without
you
Is like drinking from
an empty cup
Woke up and for the first
time the animals were gone
Our clocks are ticking
now so before our time is gone
We can get a house and
some boxes on the lawn
We can make babies and
accidental songs
I know I've been a liar
and I know I've been a fool
I hope we didn't break
it but I'm glad we broke the rules
My cave is deep now yet
your light is shining through
I cover my eyes, still
all I see is you
Oh I know I've left you
in places of despair
Oh I know that I love
you so please throw down your hair
At night I dream without
you
And hope that I don't
wake up
Cause waking up without
you
Is like drinking from
an empty cup
Rootless Tree
What I want from you
is empty your head
But they say be true,
don't stay in your bed
We do what we need to
be free
And it leans on me like
a rootless tree
What I want from us is
learn to let go
But we fade the forests,
fracture the tide
We go blind when we needed
to see
And it leans on me, like
a rootless...
So fuck you, fuck you,
fuck you
And all you didn't do
I said bleed it, bleed
it, bleed it
There's nothing in you
And do you hate me, hate
me, hate me, hate me so much
That you can't let me
out, let me out, let me out
Of hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out,
let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out,
let me out
What I want from this
Is to learn to let go
No not of you
Of all that's been told
Killers re-invent and
believe
And it leans on me, like
a rootless...
So fuck you, fuck you,
fuck you
And all you didn't do
I said leave it, leave
it, leave it
It's nothin anyway
And did you hate me,
hate me, hate me, hate me so much
That you can't let me
out, let me out, let me out...
It's hell when you're
around...
So fuck you, fuck you,
fuck you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave
it, leave it
It's nothing anyway
And do you hate me, hate
me, hate me, hate me so much
That you can't let me
out, let me out, let me out...
Hell when you're around...
Let me out, let me out,
let me out, let me out...
Damien Rice
- Coconut Skins
You can hold her hand
And show her how you
cry
Explain to her your weakness
So she understands:
And then roll over and
die!
You can brave decisions
Before you crumble up
inside
Spend your time asking
Everyone else's permission:
And then run away and
hide!
You can sit on chimneys
And put some fire up
your ass!
No need to know
What you're doing or
waiting for:
But if anyone should
ask?
Tell them I've been licking
coconut skins
And we've been hanging
out!
Tell them God just dropped
by to forgive our sins
And relieve us our doubt
You can hold her eggs
But your basket has a
hole
You can lie between her
legs
And go lookin' for:
Tell her you're searching
for her soul!
You can wait for ages
And watch your compost
turn to coal
But time is contagious:
Everybody's getting old.
You can sit on chimneys
And put some fire up
your ass!
No need to know
What you're doing or
waiting for:
But if anyone should
ask?
Tell them I've been cooking
coconut skins
And we've been hanging
out!
Tell them God just dropped
by to forgive our sins
And relieve us our doubt.

- Sleep, Don’t Weep
Sleep. Don’t weep,
My sweet love.
Your face, it's all wet.
And your day was rough.
So do what you must do
To find yourself.
Wear another shoe.
Paint my shelf.
There's times that I
was broke
When you stood strong.
I think I’ve found a
place
Where I …
Sleep. Don’t weep,
My sweet love.
Your face, it's all wet
‘Cause our days were
rough.
So do what you must do
To fill that hole.
Wear another shoe
To comfort the soul.
There's times that I
was broke
When you stood strong.
I think I’ve found a
place
Where I feel I will…
Sleep. Don’t weep,
My sweet love.
My face, it's all wet
‘Cause my day was rough.
So do what you must do
To find yourself.
Wear another shoe.
Paint my shelf.
There's times that I
was broke
When you stood strong.
I hope I find a place
Where I feel I…belong
Sleep. Don’t weep,
My sweet love.
My face it's all wet
'Cause my day was rough.
Don't weep, my sweet love.
My face, it's all wet
'Cause my days are rough.
