Stay

When you call, I already know
From your tone of voice
When it comes, it knocks you down
You don’t have a choice
What kind of pain do you feel
Descriptions make it real
We keep track, keep hoping that it’s
Not worst case
Hear you moving around, it wakes me up at night
Listen close for the sound, know that something isn’t right
Promise I will stay
Until it goes away
We can’t run away, so we turn on the light
Senses rush awake, meet an unwelcome sight
Promise I will stay
Until it goes away

You love the routine
I feel so guilty
When I come home late at night
But you make it alright
You say that you’re sorry but
I don’t think you’re sorry, bud
You’re dragging your feet around
Like you’re stuck in the mud
Help to step outside of me
When everything’s too much
Some kind of spirituality
You love the routine
If you could talk please tell me
How to give you the best life
Want to get it right
You love the routine
You look so happy
When I come home every night
You make it alright
You say that you’re sorry but
I don’t think you’re sorry, bud
You’re dragging your feet around
Like you’re stuck in the mud
Help to step outside of me
When everything’s too much
Some kind of spirituality

Scab
02:43
|

Why do you come here if you don’t want any help
Maybe you just want to hear it from someone else
Stuck inside it
Casual violence
If I stick to a plan, will I start to feel better again
Stuck to the pan, pick it off like a scab
It’s so easy to believe
In what may not come true
It’s not always visible
Don’t know what to do
If I stick to a plan, will I start to feel better again
Stuck to the pan, pick it off like a scab
Stick to a plan, start to feel better again
Stuck to the pan, pick it off like a scab
I thought if I tried hard enough
Then maybe it would go away
But no matter what
It’s with me every day
It’s with me every day
It’s with me every day
But if I
Stick to a plan, will I start to feel better again
Stuck to the pan, pick it off like a scab
Stick to a plan, start to feel better again
Stuck to the pan, pick it off like a scab

I’m blasting off in a rocketship
To a different planet
‘Cause I’m sick of this
Spend my days with
My head stuck in the clouds
I might as well not
Try to come down
Stand on solid ground each day
Can I open up my heart
And escape
The world keeps spinning but I just want to move on
I find myself retreating
Into another daydream
You can see the empty look on my face
I’m not really here
I dissociate
It’s so dark out in space
I hope that I can find a better place
The world keeps spinning but I just want to move on

Unlucky Buddy

Feel like you walk around with egg on your face
When you look at yourself, the mirror starts to break
Another black cat passes by across the street
Every day feels like it is Friday the 13th
It’s just not your day
Things never turn out your way
You hold your breath as you pass by the graveyard
Reshuffle the deck but you’re drawing the same card
Is it a curse, is there something else to blame
It’s not too late, maybe your bad luck can change
It’s just not your day
Things never turn out your way
If you could only find four leaf clover
Then all your troubles would soon be over
It’s just not your day
Things never turn out your way
Unlucky buddy

When you wear that fur trimmed coat
It makes you look like a villain
Puffing out cigar smoke
Blowing hot air
While I’m just chilling
Interrupt, excuse, pretend
Explain what I already said
Lay down, army crawl your way
Back into the conversation
Go on and tell me
All the things that I do wrong
Show me your success
I promise it won’t take too long
Insincere smile
You’re treating me like a child
Every conversation feels like
I am put on trial
Go on and tell me
All the things that I do wrong
Show me your success
With no acknowledgement
Go on and tell me
All the things that I do wrong
Spill all your secrets
I promise it won’t take too long

Unusual You
02:22
|
|||
|
Too proud to talk about it
I’m not out of line
When we speak, it’s in opposites
Are we wasting time
It hurts to see how hard it is for you to find
Compassion for another living thing
Where do you learn this stuff, the logic’s feeling pretty rough
You know you speak with so much certainty
Being cruel
Is not unusual
Unusual is you
When you speak every single thought out loud
It leaves you without time for listening
Clawing for a sense of common ground
Is not the way that I want things to be
Being cruel
Is not unusual
Unusual is you

Ponytail

You’re driving me home
I’m in the backseat
Just like when I was a kid
Staring at the back of your head
Sitting in the silence of
a missed opportunity
You saved some of my hair
Chopped off blonde ponytail
From when I was a little girl
Now it’s like
Dirty brown water
We keep changing but I’m forever your
Daughter
When did your hair start to go grey
When I’m not there
I miss the gradual change
Feeling old and still afraid
Wish I could see
Where I’m supposed to be
Please don’t lose your joy in gentle things

Lucky

We were wishing on plastic stars
Ignorance was easy
Healing is hard
Now I stand at the edge
And regret is staring right back at me
Was I trying my best
I think I have finally started listening
Remind me
I should consider us lucky

Cold Walk
04:05

Wearing my sister’s jacket
Gloves in the pocket
I’ll grip them like a hand
So much time but still can’t sleep
Dreams make more sense than reality
Fall deeply, wake up
And try again
When I look at my face
It’s like a drawing
I wish I could erase
And try again
Why do dogs run away
Learning the desire of escape
Now we take walks every day
Sad dog barking in the yard
Tired of being alone
Wants to go inside
But no one’s home
I forgot to take a picture of you
It’s like I’m looking straight through
I forgot to take a picture of you
It’s like I’m looking straight through
I forgot to take a picture of you
It’s like I’m looking straight through
To prepare for a time without you

Expert In A Dying Field
by The Beths
supported by 29 fans who also own “No Shadow”
So Kiwi it hurts. In a fantastic, life-affirming, charming, self-deprecating manner, replete with self-aware ironic smile tugging at the corner of the mouth. I love the timing & key changes. Top notch indie jangly guitar-pop tending rock. Hooked. "I Want to Listen" , and "Change in the Weather" Liz channels Anna Burch and manages to upstage her. I'm off to mix some drinks with my messages, then I might pin some hopes to the wrong pincushion! ❤

This might be the tightest "indie garage pop-tending-rock" album I know of. Arrangements are top notch. Correcting a glaring omission in my collection here by buying the Beths albums while it's still _just_ NZ Music Month! What an opening track! Jump Rope Gazers and Don't Go Away - instrumentation is outstanding on both tracks - tough choice, any one makes for a worthy choice as fave track.
