Coming Up Weeds

from Michelles by Michelles

/

lyrics

Need a pinch of something need a speck of relief, but
Nothing will grow the birds ate all the seeds, and
Everything and comes up turns out to be
Weeds

Who knew it’s be so hard to nourish a shoot
Convince a tiny germ to take up and root, but
Everything has its own sense of time and
Space, and they never want to cooperate

You were told from very young that you’re supposed to be the
Chosen one, what a mistake
You bought it all for years and years and atrophied between the
Ears, waiting for someone to hand you a break

Don’t want to stay this way forever
I’ve got a feeling I won’t last that long
No use in looking to the future
Still trying to figure where it all went wrong

Feel the rain a comin there’s a creak in my knees
No one’s gonna hear you so just go ahead and scream
Who’s gonna save you now it’s just you and me
Come on let’s see a smile my only aim is to please
I could snare a couple birds and feed ‘em to the bees
And drown every dog I see just to kill the fleas

You were told from very young that you’re supposed to be the
Chosen one, what a mistake
You laid around for way too long now there’s no places in the
Sun, you’ll be lucky for a spot in the shade

I could stay out here forever
Stretch out my legs and let the wet soak in
I’ll leave no answer for the folks back home
I hope they ask each other where I’ve been

It’s a bit of a stretch to call Michelles a band, as it is the singular vision of Michael Daly, who writes and plays nearly every sound heard on every recording. ... more
