Mini Videos and Lyrics Session III-The Mutineers--Its Getting Dark Outside

ITS GETTING DARK OUTSIDE


I've got you right where I want you
With my hands right around your neck
I can feel all your bones, they tremble
While your ghost swims around your head


Can you picture Hitler with his rattle
Doodling swastikas in his crib
don't you know evils been created
well before evils born


Somebody tell me a story
something with a happy ending
something where the mighty heros being tossed in the air
and the villains being buried


Two innocent enter the pine woods
ones got evil on his mind
one walks closer and he enters the water
I'm afraid only one of them is leaving alive


he didn't want to become
a murderer


Run for shelter its getting dark outside
Things aren't what they seems
Board up the windows its getting dark outside
Light up the torches its getting dark outside
Close your eyes before it gets dark outside
and lets hope for a dream

Mini Videos and Lyrics Session II- Blind Dead Duck--Let's Just Escape For A While

LET'S JUST ESCAPE FOR AWHILE
 
Come on down out of your tree
And take a walk, a walk with me.
We can go somewhere nice, 
we can go where there is no light.
Let's just escape for awhile.
 
Somewhere down the road you'll see
just how much you mean to me.
And I will take you by the hand and travel 
all over this great land.
I'll take you wherever you want to go.
 
But this road is long.
And I'm ready to take it on.
As long as you're by my side
I don't have a single thing to hide.
Just put your faith and trust in me.
 
Somewhere up yonder I do see.
A place that was built for you and me
to settle on down and stare at the stars
on a blanket or the hood of my car.
Either way I just want to be next to you.
 
But this road is long.
And I think we can take it on.
Together as one we'll rise above and
overcome all obstacles in front of us.
Just put your faith and trust in me.
 
So come on down out of your tree.
And take this walk, this walk with me.
Don't be afraid to come along,
I'll be beside you singing this song.
I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.
 
But this road is long.
And I think we can take it on.
As long as you're by my side
I don't have a single thing to hide.
Just put your faith and trust in me.

Mini Videos and Lyrics Session I- Ce N'est Rien, All I Can Manage

The Sun Sets On Indiana is starting a new and interesting series called Mini Videos and Lyrics.  We thought about calling it Minivids and Lyrics but the quirky abbreviations isn't our thing so here is the deal.  The members of Sun Sets:  The Mutineers, Ce N'est Rien, Blind Dead Duck, and Mt. Pleasant will be posting mini videos, recorded from our phones and presented to this forum.  We will post lyrics and the rest  is up to you.  All 8-10 of you.  Our first Mini Video is from one of our favorites, Ce N'est Rien.  This song is called All I Can Manage and that instrument is a Ukelele.

All I Can Manage Before

the only promises are ones I can no longer hold you to,

the little lady, her little folded hands kneeling down with you,

and at the foot of her bed

you lead her in a prayer for me

come on, do it again

and make up for a life I shouldve spent with you

and feet I once swept you off would only fail me now

Im right where you left me last

but we continue on, call it Home or not Im not there yet

I been all over thinking sooner or later I am bound to stumble on one

I lead the choir in, take in a silent film

to emulate the sin I have trapped inside my skull

a score that never makes it past the ceiling snow

words like feet are swept away and only fail me now--dont fail me now

Im right where you left me last

it's not my floor to speak

it's a game of 'All I can get out before--'

my voice starts breaking off, come on soldier-up

rope the wall stuck in my throat with every thought of you

but it wont make up for a life I've failed you now.

Bon Iver

Hello again.  Think I am going to buy this cd today because this song sounds pretty great.
