Life, Love, and Everything In Between

oops,

This is pretty much the story of my life recently, as told by Damien Rice...in two parts. The first is called 'The Blowers Daughter', the second 'Elephant'. It took quite a while for me to decrypt these songs, see if you can do the same...there i have issued a challenge:

Blowers Daughter (Pt.1)

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time

And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her skies

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time

And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes...

Eyes...

Oh, did I say
That I loathe you?
Did I say
That I want to leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind...My mind
My mind...

Till I find somebody new

Elephant

this has got to die
i said this has got to stop
this has got to lie down
with 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

and she may cry like a baby
and she may drive me crazy'cause i am lately lonely
so why did ya have to lie

i take it i'm your crutch
the pillow in your pillowcase
is easier to touch

and when you think you've sinned
do you fall upon your knees?
or do you sit within your picture?
do you still forget the breeze?

and she may rise if i sing you down
and she may wisely cling to the ground'cause i'm lately horny
so why would she take me thorny?

what's the point of this song or even singing?
if you've already gone, why am i clinging?
well i could throw her out
and i could live without
and i could do it all for you

i could be true
tell me if you want me to lie'cause this has got to die
i said this has to stop
this has got to lie down, down
with someone else on top
you can both keep me pinned'cause it's easier to tease
but ye can't make me happy
quite as good as me..well,you know that's a lie

There figure that out!
