Boxing Day Blues (Revisited) lyrics - Courtney Barnett
How was your day? Mine was okay. Worked my fingers down to the bone.
How about you? What did you do? Spent my whole night dreaming of you.
Like a Christmas tree on boxing day, thrown away.
Why don't you feel for me anymore?
I'm feeling fine, except the times I'm not.
Why are you so calm? I wanna shout. I wanna rip my goddamn throat out.
Like a Christmas tree on boxing day, thrown away.
Why don't you feel for me anymore?
Just like two icebergs in climate change, drifting away.
Why do you feel for me anyway?
How about you? What did you do? Spent my whole night dreaming of you.
Like a Christmas tree on boxing day, thrown away.
Why don't you feel for me anymore?
I'm feeling fine, except the times I'm not.
Why are you so calm? I wanna shout. I wanna rip my goddamn throat out.
Like a Christmas tree on boxing day, thrown away.
Why don't you feel for me anymore?
Just like two icebergs in climate change, drifting away.
Why do you feel for me anyway?
Shivers lyrics - Courtney Barnett
(originally by The Boys Next Door)
I've been contemplating suicide,
But it really doesn't suit my style,
So I think I'll just act bored instead
And contain the blood I would've shed
She makes me feel so ill at ease
My heart is really on its knees
But I keep a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell
But my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a permanent shiver down my
Spine
I keep her photograph against my heart
For in my life she plays a starring part
All alcohol and cigarettes
There is no room for cheap regrets
She makes me feel so ill at ease
My heart is really on its knees
But I keep a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell
But my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a permanent shiver down my
Spine
She makes me feel so ill at ease
My heart is really on its knees
But I keep a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell
But my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a perennial shiver down my
Spiii-yi-yiiii-yi-yiiii-yi-yiyiyi-ine
I've been contemplating suicide,
But it really doesn't suit my style,
So I think I'll just act bored instead
And contain the blood I would've shed
She makes me feel so ill at ease
My heart is really on its knees
But I keep a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell
But my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a permanent shiver down my
Spine
I keep her photograph against my heart
For in my life she plays a starring part
All alcohol and cigarettes
There is no room for cheap regrets
She makes me feel so ill at ease
My heart is really on its knees
But I keep a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell
But my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a permanent shiver down my
Spine
She makes me feel so ill at ease
My heart is really on its knees
But I keep a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell
But my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a perennial shiver down my
Spiii-yi-yiiii-yi-yiiii-yi-yiyiyi-ine
Things To Consider Before RSVPing To A Party lyrics - Courtney Barnett
You said you liked me at a party
I said oh well um
Your flatmate was drinking whiskey
You asked me to get you some
I stole your key from your apartment
So you'd have to come around
Stuffed balls of cotton to my sneakers
So I wouldn't make a sound
I disconnected the gas heating
Then suggested movie nights
It got colder, you moved closer
So I cooked us Party Pie
And I did everything to not let you know I liked you
And everything to let you know that I was still around
Like swapping chairs and coughing loudly
Putting on your favorite songs
Standing hidden in the pantry
Hoping you would come along
Like tracing lines into a napkin
To the shadows of your face
Like dropping you to choir practice
On my U12 study break
And I did everything to not let you know I liked you
And everything to let you know that I was still around
Outside the party it was raining
You were hailing me a cab
I had a plane at seven-thirty
Rain was dripping down my back
I'm pretty sure you said you liked me
But a bottle smashed somewhere
You lent me your road map of Melbourne
I pretended not to care
And I can't stop thinking about what would have happened
If I hadn't gone to Melbourne and gone out to your party
Even though you didn't want me to
I just want you to know
There's still a spot left on my key ring
Just for you
I said oh well um
Your flatmate was drinking whiskey
You asked me to get you some
I stole your key from your apartment
So you'd have to come around
Stuffed balls of cotton to my sneakers
So I wouldn't make a sound
I disconnected the gas heating
Then suggested movie nights
It got colder, you moved closer
So I cooked us Party Pie
And I did everything to not let you know I liked you
And everything to let you know that I was still around
Like swapping chairs and coughing loudly
Putting on your favorite songs
Standing hidden in the pantry
Hoping you would come along
Like tracing lines into a napkin
To the shadows of your face
Like dropping you to choir practice
On my U12 study break
And I did everything to not let you know I liked you
And everything to let you know that I was still around
Outside the party it was raining
You were hailing me a cab
I had a plane at seven-thirty
Rain was dripping down my back
I'm pretty sure you said you liked me
But a bottle smashed somewhere
You lent me your road map of Melbourne
I pretended not to care
And I can't stop thinking about what would have happened
If I hadn't gone to Melbourne and gone out to your party
Even though you didn't want me to
I just want you to know
There's still a spot left on my key ring
Just for you

Three Packs A Day lyrics - Courtney Barnett
1, 2, 3, 4
I'm down to three packs a day
Of Mi Goreng, I can't explain it
Can't wait for you to go away
Cause I just crave that meager taste, yeah
Boil it up, water in the sauce pan
In a cup, drink it from a silver spoon
That MSG tastes good to me
I disagree with all your warnings
It can't be true that they use glue to
Keep the noodles stuck together
Two minutes seems like a lifetime
Burn my tongue, patience is a virtue
I'm down to three packs a day
I sneak away to find a kettle
I withdraw from all my friends
And their dinner plans, I'm sick of lentils
Boil it up, water in a sauce pan
In a cup, drink it from a silver spoon
It is no good
It is no good
You say, "it's no good for you"
I'm down to three packs a day
Of Mi Goreng, I can't explain it
Can't wait for you to go away
Cause I just crave that meager taste, yeah
Boil it up, water in the sauce pan
In a cup, drink it from a silver spoon
That MSG tastes good to me
I disagree with all your warnings
It can't be true that they use glue to
Keep the noodles stuck together
Two minutes seems like a lifetime
Burn my tongue, patience is a virtue
I'm down to three packs a day
I sneak away to find a kettle
I withdraw from all my friends
And their dinner plans, I'm sick of lentils
Boil it up, water in a sauce pan
In a cup, drink it from a silver spoon
It is no good
It is no good
You say, "it's no good for you"
