Camera Obscura - "My maudlin career" (lyrics)

Brilliant, melancholic, bucolic songs I've been looking for for ages and I found at last!
The latest album from this Scottish band is simply sublime...

Lyrics

.

You kissed me on the forehead

Now this kiss is giving me a concussion

We were love at first sight

Now it's crush

It's crushing

Now choose two stops through the city though

I'm lost easily

I took to the desert but my heart just whines

and deceive me

.

Now we're in love again

And you're wherevers

I'm not a child I know

We're not going steady

.

You're pain's gigantic but it's not as big as your ego

Promise not to abandon you, please let me go

.

Now I've been hurting your feelings

Yeah they were worth protecting

They say I'm too kind and sentimental

Like you could catch affection

.

Oh in your eyes there's a sadness

Enough to kill the both of us

Are those eyes overrated?

They make me want to give up on love

.

I'll brace myself for the holiness

Say hello to feelings that I detest

.

This maudlin career has come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career has come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

.

This maudlin career has come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career has come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

Bill Callahan - "Too many birds" (lyrics)

American singer. For years I've been waiting for listening to a song like this...

Lyrics

Too many birds in one tree

Too many birds in one tree

And the sky is full of black and screaming leaves

The sky is full of black and screaming

.

And one more bird

Then one more bird

And one last bird

And another

.

One last black bird without a place to land

One last black bird without a place to be

Turns around in hopes to find the place it last knew rest

Oh black bird, over black rain burn

This is not where you last knew rest

You fly all night to sleep on stone

The heartless rest that in the morn, we'll be gone

You fly all night to sleep on stone, to return to the tree with too many birds

Too many birds

Too many birds

.

If...

If you...

If you could...

If you could only...

If you could only stop...

If you could only stop your...

If you could only stop your heart...

If you could only stop your heart beat...

If you could only stop your heart beat for...

If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart...

If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart beat.
