YO LA TENGO Stuff Like That There LYRICS
album: "Stuff Like That There" (2015)
All Your Secrets
All of the thoughts we thought would stay unsaid,
Have made their way here instead, before the riot,
As the days ahead become behind,
Replace the tape as we rewind, before the riot.
Tell me all your secrets,
Say it slowly and clear so you don't have to speak twice.
And if there's things that I'm afraid to know,
I should have learned them years ago, before the riot.
I don't believe we're hopeless as we fear,
Or as good as we appear, before the riot,
I could be strong inside your sleeping eyes,
Unafraid of truth, unafraid of lies, before the riot.
Think of what we're missing,
Well take that thought and put it out of your head.
And if we can stop a restless night,
Won't give up without a fight, before the riot.
I can feel the time is coming, sure it's coming soon
Do what we do, hiding out from view, Sure it's coming,
Say the worst should happen,
Would we plan for that, even if we could [?]
And if we can stop a restless night,
Won't give up without a fight, before the riot,
Here it comes, before the riot.

The Ballad Of Red Buckets
I wonder what's on your mind
I wonder what's on your mind
Look around and see
What it does to me
I wonder what's on your mind
I think I'll throw it all away
I think I'll throw it all away
And if dreams come back to me
I'll pretend that I don't see
I'll just cover my eyes instead
It'll surely come
It'll surely come
Here it comes again

Friday I'm In Love
(originally by The Cure)
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate
I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Oh Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate
Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday I'm in love
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Mondays you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Automatic Doom
Is there an automatic doom that's waiting for you?
Can there already be a bullet with your name emblazoned boldly?
As you lead your life with anxious and repetitive behavior
Automatic doom
Is there a magic floating chalice waiting for you?
And would you be depressed if you determined that your quest is over
And you lead your life with anxious and repetitive behavior
Automatic doom
Is there a crystal cosmic sparrow floating away?
Is there a neo-pterodactyl coming to prey?
Are you prepared to see the bad things that you say emblazoned boldly
In gold letters on your tomb?

Deeper Into Movies
Late at night, gazing out into the late at night
I see deep in the world till I open my eyes
Every day brakes screech outside my window
Those crashing cars never seem to collide
Sometimes when I'm staring out my window
Catch the stars and watch as they go by
I've been sending signals tune to outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky - it blows my mind
Every day I'm drawn to my window
I can hear it if I open my eyes
Sometimes flashing lights seem so familiar
I know I've seen them circling me at night
I've been getting mesages from outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky - and it blows my mind
Every day the restlessness takes over me
I can hear it as I open my eyes
I've been getting mesages from outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky - and it blows my mind
Like a finger in the sky... [repeat]
