I live cement I hate this street Give dirt to me I bite lament This human form Where I was born I now repent Caribou Repent Repent Give me wide Ground to run And foregone Lets me knife Knife me lets I will get What I like Caribou Repent Repent
2.
I am not dead I demand I know my rights I know my rights You cover illness with flowers And flowers die And flowers die Waking I feel I follow mirrors that Make sense to me Make sense to me Never let yourself out, I did It ruined me It ruined me To be morally good Are we ready to love A devil pretending to be a god Love is written on paper And paper burns Eternity is not a sunrise Waking I feel I follow mirrors that Make sense to me Make sense to me Never let your self out, I did It ruined me It ruined me

White on white translucent black capes Back on the rack Bela Lugosi's dead The bats have left the bell tower The victims have been bled Red velvet lines the black box Bela Lugosi's dead Undead Undead Oh, Bela Lugosi is dead The virginal brides file past his tomb Strewn with time's dead flowers Bereft in deathly bloom Alone in a darkened room The count Bela Lugosi's dead Undead Undead White on white translucent black capes Back on the rack Bela Lugosi's dead The bats have left the bell tower The victims have been bled Red velvet lines the black box Bela Lugosi's dead

I saw the film said that's the life for me Forsake the mundane for some instability So sue me Now you're hiding upstairs And now I'm not so sure What is it all for I read the book I thought that it meant me Your feverish vision of exquisite misery It threw me Now I'm in free fall I'm empty as a bottle you see through What am I to do I've had my fill I feel that chill I've had my fill I'm tired I'm tired I feel that chill I've had my fill You're still not home it caught me by surprise It's a telltale odor I almost recognize And I can hardly see The pupils in your eyes Now I realize I saw the film said that's the life for me Forsake the mundane for some instability I read the book I thought that it meant me Your feverish vision of exquisite misery
7.
Oh Vivica I wish you well I watch you burn in humid hell No sleeping pills no old tattoos will save you now He'll never change he's just too vague He'll never say you're beautiful Oh Vivica I wish you well I really do, I really do The apple falls far from the tree She's rotten and so beautiful I'd like to keep her here with me And tell her that she's beautiful She takes the pills to fall asleep And dreams that she's invisible Tormented dreams she stays awake Recalls when she was capable Oh Vivica I wish you well I watch you sit I watch you dwell No crooked spine no torn up rag will save you now He'll never change he's not that brave He'll never say you're beautiful Oh Vivica I wish you well I really do, I really do Oh Vivica I wish you well I'll sit right here I'll never tell No tender scar no twist of fate will save you now He'll never change he's just not there He'll never say you're beautiful Oh Vivica I wish you will I really do, I really do She's empty and so beautiful I'll keep her here with me

You're bad for me like cigarettes But I haven't sucked enough of you yet Nothing is sacred and nothing is true I'm no-one that's nowhere when I'm here with you I've lost the power I had to distinguish Between what to ignite and what to extinguish I blew in last night, I'm the ghost from the coast When the lighting is bad I'm the one with the most You left me to choke on a heart up in smoke Smiling through your tears and your tetracycline overdose You're good for me like Coca-Cola I don't get any younger, you don't get any older Everything's sacred and everything's true All of this is possible when I'm here with you I've got a lot to say but I keep my own counsel I'd like to spit it out but I won't speak with my mouth full I blew in last night, I'm the ghost from the coast When the lighting is bad I'm the one with the most You left me to choke on a heart up in smoke Smiling through your tears and your tetracycline overdose

If I thought I knew the reason Why I've gone and fallen in love with you You're the one thing I believe in And I know quite well what I've got to do First you say it's okay Then you say there's no way when I'm making love to you You're the one thing I believe in And I know it's time 'cause I've got to tell you My love is like a flower Daisies are always free Pulling out the petals I wonder if you love me Love me, love me Love me, love me If I thought I knew the reason Why I've gone and fallen in love with you You're the one thing I believe in And I know it's time because I've got to tell you First you say it's okay Then you say there's no way when I'm making love to you You're the one thing I believe in And I'll get my way or I'm going to kill you My love is like a flower Daisies are always free Pulling out the petals

This is our "Music from A Bachelors Den" The sound of loneliness turned up to ten A horror soundtrack from a stagnant water-bed And it sounds just like this This is the sound of someone losing the plot Making out that they're okay when they're not You're gonna like it, but not a lot And the chorus goes like this Oh baby, here comes the fear again The end is near again, oh A monkey's built a house on your back You can't get anyone to come in the sack And here comes another panic attack Oh, here we go again So now you know the words to my song Pretty soon you'll all be singing along When you're sad, when you're lonely, and it all turns out wrong When you've got the fear And when you're no longer searching for beauty or love Just some kind of life with the edges taken off When you can't even define what it is that you are frightened of This song will be here Oh baby, here comes the fear again The end is near again, oh If you ever get that chimp off your back If you ever find the thing that you lack Oh, but you know you're only having a laugh Oh, here we go again Until the end
11.
In my eyes, indisposed In disguises no one knows Hides the face, lies the snake The sun in my disgrace Boiling heat, summer stench 'Neath the black the sky looks dead Call my name through the cream And I'll hear you scream again Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come (won't you come) Stuttering, cold and damp Steal the warm wind tired friend Times are gone for honest men And sometimes far too long for snakes In my shoes, a walking sleep And my youth I pray to keep Heaven sent hell away No one sings like you anymore Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come

Childbirth tears upon her muscle Very first second a screaming icon Babies in time barely even recognise Words that once stroked now bruising tired lips My idea of love comes from A childhood glimpse of pornography Though there is no true love Just a finely tuned jealousy Life becoming a landslide Ice freezing nature dead Life becoming a landslide I don't want to be a man Everyday more numb to agony This the howl this the sigh of the lonely One day I realize oil on canvas Can never paint a petal so so delicate My idea of love comes from A childhood glimpse of pornography Though there is no true love Just a finely tuned jealousy Life becoming a landslide Ice freezing nature dead Life becoming a landslide I don't want to be a man Life becoming a landslide A mile empty inside Life becoming a landslide Desire on its knees

Dance like nobody's watching you Randy And love like you've never been hurt Supersize it when you get hungry Randy And eat like it's the last night on earth You could be nobody in heaven Or you could be a star in hell You could have a billion dollars and blow it all away Randy's hot tonight He's hot tonight He's hot tonight Randy's hot tonight He's hot tonight He's hot tonight Randy's got tonight He's got tonight He's got tonight Randy's hot tonight He's hot tonight He's hot tonight 'Cause we just wanna see the hot hot side of Randy Now Randy said "If you live in Japan You're japanese If you live in Canada You're gonna freeze If you live in a plastic house You'll never die in a fire If you work in television You're a fucking liar" Dont become unfocused Randy And everything'll be ok That confidence will come in handy And everyone will be forced to say That Randy's hot tonight He's hot tonight He's hot tonight Randy's hot tonight He's hot tonight He's hot tonight Randy's got tonight He's got tonight He's got tonight Randy's hot tonight He's hot tonight He's hot tonight 'Cause we just wanna see the hot hot side of Randy

about

A collection of covers mixed and released from December 2018 - December 2019. These were made possible thanks to my wonderful backers on Patreon: www.patreon.com/osirissaline

Many of these contain me experimenting with different recording methods, or making major/minor adjustments in some way (arrangement/tone/instrument families/bpm/mastering/not worrying much about clipping etc). Some work way better than others, but I'm happy with all of them.
