āokay, we need to get changed now.ā
ānow? itās noon!ā
āyes, and that means i only have seven hours to look acceptably human-- now out!ā
SPOTTED: Stella Sachs, 29, recently arriving at Narita International Airport. Itās reported that the actress-musician, who recently released her second live album The Northsix Tapes, would be in attendance at the inaugural Grimaldi Gala happening in Tokyo at the 28th.Ā
taken from a surprise week long stint in brooklyn and recorded by rye guiness, this live album serves as a broad, if incomplete, introduction to popās finest dilettante actor-musician
the show was ending and i had started to crack
woke up in Chicago and the sky turned black
and you're so high, you're so high, you had to be an angel
and i'm so high, i'm so high, i can see an angel
track two. birth in reverse. (3.15)
this too will haunt me through the war
laugh all you want, but i want more
'cause what i'm swearing, i never sworn before
like a birth in reverse
what i saw through the blinds
you could say that i'm sane
in phenomenal lies
track three. move your body (4.07)
your body's poetry, speak to me
won't you let me be your rhythm tonight?
(move your body, move your body)
i wanna be your muse, use my music
and let me be your rhythm tonight
(move your body, move your body)
track four. emotional rescueĀ ā the rolling stones cover. (5.15)
you think you're one of a special breed
you think that you're his pet pekinese
i'll be your savior, steadfast and true
i'll come to your emotional rescue
i'll come to your emotional rescue
track four. shake it out. (4.38)
'cause i am done with my graceless heart
so tonight i'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'cause i like to keep my issues strong
it's always darkest before the dawn
shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
track six. los ageless. (4.41)
the last days of the sunset superstars
girls in cages playing their guitars
but how can i leave?
i just follow the hood of my car
in Los Ageless, the waves they never break
they build and build until you don't have no escape
but how can I leave?
i just follow my hood to the sea, go to sleep
i needed you to please give my reflection a break
from the face it's seeing now
oh, darling would you please giving my reflection a break
from the pain it's feeling now?
i got to do things my own way darling
you should just let me
will you ever respect me? no
do things my own way darling
you should just let me
why you ain't ever let me grow?
track eight. cruel. (3.34)
bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
if you could want that, too
they could take or leave you
so they took you and they left you
how could they be casually
cruel, cruel, oh-hoh
cruel, cruel, oh-hoh
track nine. surgeon. (4.25)
i spent the summer on my back
another attack
stay in just to get along, get along, get along
turn off the TV, wade in bed
a blue and a red
a little something to get along, get along, get along
get along, get along, get along
aināt got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
the pain's inside and nobody frees you from your body
it's the soul, it's the soul that needs surgery
(it's my soul that needs surgery)
plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
then you break when the fake faƧade leaves you in the dark
you left with shattered mirrors and the shards of a beautiful past
track eleven. chandelier. (3.36)
but I'm holding on for dear life
won't look down, won't open my eyes
keep my glass full until morning light
'cause i'm just holding on for tonight
help me, i'm holding on for dear life
won't look down, won't open my eyes
keep my glass full until morning light
'cause i'm just holding on for tonight
on for tonight
track twelve. no light, no light. (4.34)
through the crowd i was crying out and
in your place there were a thousand other faces
i was disappearing in plain sight
heaven help me, i need to make it right
track thirteen. all this and heaven too. (4.05)
but with all my education i canāt seem to command it
and the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
and i would put them back in poetry if i only knew how
i canāt seem to understand it
and I would give all this and heaven too
i would give it all if only for a moment
that i could just understand the meaning of the word you see
because iāve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all
track fourteen.Ā i prefer your love. (3.36)
name-tagged tourists, sick at the sight of them
tight-walking the sidewalk in spite of them
as my headache moves from east to west
mother, won't you open your arms and
forgive me of all these bad thoughts?
i'm blinded to the faces in the fog
track fifteen. something on your mind ā karen dalton cover. (3.05)
let these times show you that you're breaking up the lines
leaving all your dreams too far behind
didn't you see, you can't make it without ever even trying?
and something's on your mind
track sixteen. champagne year. (3.28)
i make a living telling people what they want to hear
it's not a killing, but it's enough to keep the cobwebs clear
cause it's not a perfect plan
it's not a perfect plan
but itās the one we got
track seventeen. ship to wreck. (3.54)
good God, under starless skies
we are lost, and into the breach, we got tossed
and the water's coming in fast
and, ah, my love remind me, what was it that i said?
i can't help but pull the earth around me to make my bed
and, ah, my love remind me, what was it that i did?
did i drink too much? am i losing touch?
did i build a ship to wreck?
track eighteen. fear the future. (2.31)
when the club come and go
to the top of your skull
i run for you, what can i do?
when the war started new
in our bed, in our room
i come for you, come for me too
track nineteen. young lover. (3.33)
no, i, young lover, i'm begging you please to wake up
young lover, i wish that i was your drug
no, i, young lover, i miss the taste of your tongue
no, i, young lover, i wish love was enough, enough, enough
we were in Paris, the Eiffel was shining
all that i wanted was lying on tiling
i heard the robins and thought they were sirens
wake up, young lover, i thought you were dyin'
track twenty. cosmic love. (4.15)
i took the stars from our eyes, and then i made a map
and knew that somehow i could find my way back
then i heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
so I stayed in the darkness with you
track twenty one. my boy builds coffins. (2.56)
my boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
he doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails
he doesn't make tables, dressers or chairs
he can't carve a whistle because he just doesn't care
my boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
kings and queens, they've all knocked on his door
beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
they all come to him because he's so eager to please
track twenty two. rattlesnake. (3.34)
sweating, sweating, no wind whipping behind me
sweating, sweating, no one will ever find me
the only sound out here is my own breath
and my feet stuttering to make a path
am i the only one in the only world?
is that the wind finally picking up?
is that a rattle sounding from the brush?
i'm not the only one in the only world
track twenty three. these days āĀ nico cover. (3.19)
i had a lover
i don't think i'd risk another these days
these days
and if i seem to be afraid
to live the life that i have made in song
it's just that i've been losing
so long
track twenty four. cheerleader. (4.23)
i've had good times with some bad guys
i've told whole lies with a half smile
held your bare bones, with my clothes on
i've thrown rocks then hid both my arms
i don't know what good it serves
pouring my purse in the dirt
but i-i-i-i-i don't wanna be your cheerleader no more
i-i-i-i-i don't wanna be your cheerleader no more
track twenty five. left alone. (4.50)
tears calcify in my tummy
fears coincide with the tow
how can i ask anyone to love me
when all i do is beg to be left alone?
oh, when i try to love
i can love the same man in the same bed in the same city
but not in the same room, it's a pity, but
oh, it never bothered me before
track twenty six. saviour. (3.26)
but i keep you on your best behavior
honey, i can't be your savior
love you to the grave and farther
honey, i am not your martyr
but then you say, "please"
then you say, "please"
track twenty seven. new york. (2.34)
new love
wasn't true love
back to you, love
so much for a home run
with some blue bloods
if i last-strawed you on 8th Avenue
where you're the only motherfucker in the city
who can stand me
track twenty eight. tiny dancerĀ ā elton john cover. (6.01)
piano man he makes his stand
in the auditorium
looking on she sings the songs
the words she knows, the tune she hums
but oh how it feels so real
lying here with no one near
only you and you can hear me
track twenty nine. hunger. (3.34)
i thought that love was in the drugs
but the more i took, the more it took away
and i could never get enough
i thought that love was on the stage
you give yourself to strangers
you don't have to be afraid
and then it tries to find a home with people, oh, and i'm alone
picking it apart and staring at your phone
track thirty. alive. (4.23)
i found solace in the strangest place
way in the back of my mind
i saw my life in a stranger's face
and it was mine
i had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
where the wind don't change
and nothing in the ground can ever grow
no hope, just lies
and you're taught to cry into your pillow
but I survived
