I'm editing a tag on this blog to relax and came across a reading from exactly a year ago that told me to water the plants outside my bedroom window. I need to water them again. Shit.

Hey you! Could I get a lyric reading? Thx!

baby please don’t goI say some women like to be wine’d and dinedwell we always seem to worryTom making a Mantua [cape] for a Lass of Pleasurein 14 days we were told to move out

From: “Baby Please Don’t Go" by Billy Lee Riley; "Muff Diving Man" by Chinga Chavin; "Where Eagles Have Been" by Wolfmother; "Tom the Tailor" by The Baltimore Consort and the Merry Companions; "Haul U-Haul Haul" by The Flying Fish Sailors.

goddamn, all my painfully obscure music showed up at once >_> if you want me to transcribe the ones I couldn’t find lyrics for I will try my best, but I have trouble processing auditory stuff and lyrics are absolute hell for me

Lyrics for Tom the Tailor, since I have the CD case:

Tom making a Mantua for a Lass of Pleasurepull’d out his long and lawful measure.But quickly found, tho’ woundily streight lac’d Sir,nine Inches would not half surround her waist Sir.Three inches more at length brisk Tom advances,yet all too short to reach her swinging Hanches.

Note to people reading this: I’m not doing more right now because this was from a few days ago, I just like to do things for mutual follows.

My rule for these is to skip instrumentals but not non-English songs, and I can't find translations for the first and third lines, so... sorry. o.o
