Want you to know that I'm done in the back I'm headed home to see my Grace When all I wanna do is feel your embrace "Well you're doing it all wrong" Is what he says when we're all alone Ya turn it to the left, then pull it, lock it shut He grabs me by the tie and tells me "Baby hush" Well I think I'm in love Is what I think when I finally wake up I turn in bed, to touch his thigh He's putting on his pants and he tells me to tell a lie

I tuck my skin into my waistband I can't find my apartment I haven't seen my children The nurse's name is Mildred I know Darling, I know Well I talk a little backwards But only 'cause my back hurts I used to fight the Nazis Now all I play is Yahtzee I know Darling, I know You're not the man you were I know But I'll go first Tell me a joke But then he said, he said Oh Miss would you please dance with me? I know your teeth aren't very pretty I'd like to come and dance with you I know your hair on-top is thinning Oh miss would you please touch my head It's so cold ever since it all left I'll touch your head, I'll touch your chest And I won't make your heart a mess We don't have long left They don't have any tapioca I wanna do the polka Can't taste the Coca-Cola man And I got no Apollonia You're scared Baby I'm scared Well I don't know what her name is She looks like someone famous She says she is my true love But I don't know what her name is It's me Darling, it's me You've got to learn your place I know Next stop's the grave I know, I know But then he said, he said Oh Miss would you please dance with me? I know your teeth aren't very pretty I'd like to come and dance with you I know your hair on-top is thinning Oh miss would you please touch my head Been so long ever since it all left I'll touch your head, I'll touch your chest And I won't make your heart a mess We don't have long left Oh miss would you please touch my head Been so long ever since it all left I'll touch your head, I'll touch your chest And I won't make your heart a mess We don't have long left They'd like to play us off the stage (They'd like to play us off the stage) They won't remember us anyway (They won't remember us anyway) I'm scared to death of what come next (I'm scared to death of what comes next) Don't know if I'll see my love again We don't have long left

Oh my god Look at my funny fridge magnets They're so punk rock They say "cunt," and "fuck," and "bitch," and "shit" Get together now Get inside my polaroid If one more non-smoker offers me a cigarette I think I'll shoot myself in the head Oh my god, Patti Smith The Velvet Underground and old jean jackets Now throw on your Chuck Taylor's and act real pissed And wish that you lived in un-gentrified New York, circa 1976 This is a park Filled to the brim with heroin (Heroin) This is a street Where people are mugged every day But the plus side is the Talking Heads are goin' on at 9 Ain't it so divine Oh my god, Patti Smith The Velvet Underground and old jean jackets Now throw on your Chuck Taylor's and act real pissed And wish that you lived in un-gentrified New York, circa 1976 Oh father please don't smite me Making me grow this tiny mustache Oh mother please don't cry for me Making me wear un-prescription glasses But then I bought my first album on vinyl I don't even own a record player Oh my god Look at you You flannel-wearing piece of shit You ain't got no soul to give, heart to bleed Thanksgiving was the worst because my Nanna saw my tattoo Oh my god, Patti Smith The Velvet Underground and old jean jackets Now throw on your Chuck Taylor's and act real pissed And wish that you lived in un-gentrified New York, circa 1976

You know you make me sick The way you treat your dead You were too busy fighting Couldn't hear a word said Yeah, how you gonna feel When they pump you full of lead? Come lie with me baby In the infinite bed You know you'll never be right At the nexus of your life Nostalgia is a mistress I could fuck her all night Your daily life is listed On a job website Come lie with me baby We'll do this till we die I ain't putting my faith In a downright lie You could waterboard me And I'd finally feel alive Crush a little pill Call me in the night, right? Living the blasé life Sink into what was before Can't you see I'm drowning Can't you see I'm drowning Can't you see I'm drowning I'm drowning I'm drowning I'm drowning

Everytime I play Everytime you go away oh man Everytime you tell me not to go upstairs with wine Oh I'm up there, I'm up there Everytime I see your face Everytime I chip away Every piece of you that ever had something to say I'll grab your coat cause If you wanna go outside tonight I'm just gonna stare, this is not a fight Hey do that thing with your eyes Where you make me feel all alone Is she right I'm acting up Is she right I've had enough Is she right I've never been the man I said I was Oh I'm full of these snakes love Is she right I'm playing games Is she right I'm too ashamed Is she right about the time I hurt my only friend Well I can't see straight, but If you wanna go to Mike's tonight I'm already there, come on out of the light Hey do that thing with your eyes Where you make me feel all alone Why Why Why I wanna die die die Sip a mai tai tai It's not a cyanide tai Wow wow wow You scream "Ow ow ow" But I just wanna stumble through the night in your hands You know I got this line It sounds nice, it's just right Cuz when I say this line You know you will be mine We'll drown ourselves goodnight Just don't say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye If you got the time for me tonight I'd like to play you one more time If you don't wanna fight I'll tune your strings baby just right You'll feel so good baby just say goodnight Just let me in and say goodnight, goodnight, goodbye I don't know where I am I have no fucking clue I don't know where I am I have no fucking clue Come choke me medicine I don't know where she's at Come quickly my old friend And knock this feeling back back back, oh Knock this feeling back back back, oh Knock this feeling back back back, oh Knock this feeling back back back Goodnight, goodbye

about

Mary Shelley Brooklyn, New York

Punk music you can dance to. That’s what you get from the genre-hopping, instrument-swapping members of Mary Shelley. Post- punk rhythms are imbued with elements of dance/disco beats, shoegaze, hip-hop and more, while influences stretch across generations, sounds and styles. Always, the electric 4-piece scraps rules in favor of creative impulse, ensuring each new song sounds nothing like the last. ... more
