Boyfriends lyrics - Broken Social Scene

They say they're gonna love you to the end of time
But they're not, no they're not
They say they're gonna try to keep an open mind
But they're not, no they're not

And they'll promise kids
And they'll promise love
They'll try to teach you things, things you already know

(Boyfriends)

Try to sing you songs about the open skies
But they're not, no they're not
Write you letters saying that their gonna die
But they're not, no they're not

And they might need a pet
They might need a mom
They're gonna come with threats
About you staying young

Let's get you out of here
Let's get you out of here
There's no need my dear
Let's get you out of here

(Boyfriends)

They say they'll try to release you from the golden smile
But they're not, no they're not
They say their gonna keep you from dramatic cries
But they're not, no they're not

And they'll become their dicks
Puke on your heart
They're gonna make you sick
It's gonna get real dark

Let's get you out of here
Let's get you out of here
There's no need my dear
Let's get you out of here

(Boyfriends...)

(Men today can't live in living rooms)

(Men today can't live in living rooms
They can't live in living rooms)

(Boyfriends...)

1972 lyrics - Broken Social Scene

Back in 1972, I didn't really know
I never really knew how we were moving
'Cause we didn't come to light this loss
Just because

1972, I barely knew of
Lights and sounds and sparkle eyes and reasons to lose
It's ok, got the cemetery goal
Beauty can't console

Life leads, eyes bless
I've got it, you need it, we want it, it's dead
House calm, wives left, we're dying here, we're dying here
I've got it, you need it, we want it, it's love
I've seen it, I've heard it, I steal it, it's death
We're dying, we're dying, we're dying

Blinking in the bright light with you
I really have to believe that everyone and everything
Just shines for the one to find this is loss
And just because

Sparkle like you would for them
Preyed upon, I prayed within
The hearth, the home, the house, the sin that waits until then
The call, the home, the shape, the dead, the centuries dying

Life leads, eyes bless
I've got it, you need it, we want it, it's dead
House calm, wives left, we're dying here, we're dying here
I've got it, you need it, we want it, it's love
I've seen it, I've heard it, I steal it, it's death
We're dying, we're dying, we're dying

All I Want lyrics - Broken Social Scene

Long conversations
Add up to tat
Maybe dive in
Maybe hang back

Summon up the violence of a child
Chop down my foundations
Bring down the house around me
Like Samson on my head
And there's something on the store
Didn't watch the dropper
Phone calls to Toronto
I forgot to sterilize

All I
All I
All I want
All I want to do
All I
All I
All I want
All I want is you

There's no protection from the love
I thought, you think you need it
Jade girl throws the needles
To the bottom of the sea
I don't mend at all
I don't mend at all
From across the kitchen table
Staggering and slow

Summon up the violence of a child
Chop down my foundations
Bring down the house around me
Like Samson on my head
And there's something on the store
Didn't watch the dropper
Phone calls to Toronto
I forgot to sterilize

All I
All I
All I want
All I want to do
All I
All I
All I want
All I want is you
All I
All I
All I want
All I want to do
All I
All I
All I want
All I want is you

Sol Luna lyrics - Broken Social Scene

(Instrumental)

Halfway Home lyrics - Broken Social Scene

You said we're halfway home
You said survive
You said we're halfway home
You said survive

Come right
Into the sunlight
'Cause I see their cold eyes
I fear they still grow
Like it was so what
As if it's so much
All through my fallen face
End to end

You said we're halfway home
You said survive

This is my horror time
This is my fallen fate

'Cause if you never run, never run
How they gonna catch you alive
'Cause if you never run, never run
How they gonna catch you alive

You said we're halfway home
You said survive
You said we're halfway home
You said survive

Dreams change and I know that I'm gonna die
But I don't need what I know now
You were beautiful my love
I see what I wanna hear

(Come right) If you don't believe in headlights
You won't get caught in the mighty
(Into the sunlight)
It's the same no matter what we have here
('Cause I see the cold eyes)
It's crossfire it's the blazing fears
It's fall end to end
(And I fear they still grow)

And you'll forget
Call out for a change
But not believe in anything
You will forget
Call out for a change
And not believe in anything, anything
You will forget
Call out for a change
Not believe in anything, anything
You will forget
Call out for a change
And not believe in anything

'Cause if you never run, never run
How they gonna catch you alive
Yeah if you never run, never run
How they gonna catch you alive

Yeah if you never run, never run
How they gonna catch you alive
Yeah if you never run, never run
How they gonna catch you alive

Protest Song lyrics - Broken Social Scene

How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days go dark the nights are drawn
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days don't end the nights are long
Days don't end the nights are long

Just take it
Just take it like you're strong
You're just the latest in the long list of lost loves (loves)
Just leave it
We all left where we are from
We're just the latest in the longest rank and file that's ever to exist
In the history of the protest song

How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days go dark the nights are drawn
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days don't end the nights are long
Days go dark the nights are drawn
Days go dark the nights are drawn

Just take it
We all left where we are from
You're just the latest in the long list of lost loves (loves)
We're just the latest in the longest rank and file that's ever to exist
In the history of the protest song

It is whatever it is
And you are wherever you are

How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days go dark the nights are drawn
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days don't end the nights are long
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days go dark the nights are drawn
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days don't end the nights are long
Days don't end the nights are long
Days go dark the nights are drawn
Days go dark the nights are drawn

We're just the latest on the longest rank and file that's ever to exist
In the history of
Longest rank and file that's ever to exist
Longest rank and file that's ever to exist
In the history of the protest song

Skyline lyrics - Broken Social Scene

The skyline waits for the world
The skyline waits for the fall
But you shouldn't have come at all

The skyline waits for the world
The skyline waits for the fall
But you shouldn't have come at all

'Cause I know
You're never gonna be
No you're never gonna be that word
You shouldn't have come at all

Yeah I know
You're never gonna be
No you're never gonna be that word
I shouldn't have come at all

The skyline waits for the world
The skyline waits for the fall
But you shouldn't have come at all

The skyline waits for the world
The skyline waits for the fall
But you shouldn't have come at all

'Cause I know
You're never gonna be
No you're never gonna be that word
I shouldn't have come at all

Yeah I know
You're never gonna be
Yeah you're never gonna be that word
I shouldn't have come at all

The skyline waits for the world
The skyline waits for the fall
But you shouldn't have come at all

The skyline waits for the world
The skyline waits for the fall
But you shouldn't have come at all

'Cause I know
You're never gonna be
No you're never gonna be that word
I shouldn't have come at all

Yeah I know
You're never gonna be
No you're never gonna be that word
I shouldn't have come at all
I shouldn't have come at all
I shouldn't have come at all

Stay Happy lyrics - Broken Social Scene

I came away unscathed
You came alive in your own state
I was naked and staring
At the face that I could not see
How could you be and I be

You set me straight at love
With your fists up and your bracelet
You're the belle and you beckon
The hours the minutes the seconds
The more you are will I be
Will I be me

There may be dogs at the door
But you are a lottery winner
And maybe it's my hard head
That keeps me dreaming
Rise and shine with dirt in your eyes
Sun in your head and never forget
That it's alright
Ok
Alright alright alright alright

Original wonder you gave it back to me
Original wonder originally

All the lies and loves that are competing
All the loves and lies that are competing

Original wonder you gave it back to me
Original wonder originally

You set me straight at love
With your fists up and your bracelet
You're the belle and you beckon
The hours the minutes the seconds
The more you are I will be
I will be me
I will be me

The hours the minutes the seconds
I will be me
The hours the minutes the seconds
I will be me
The hours the minutes the seconds
I will be me
The hours the minutes the seconds
I will be me
The hours the minutes the seconds
I will be me

Vanity Pail Kids lyrics - Broken Social Scene

Do you remember your house
Like a super high five
Do you remember your mouth
And all the mythical lies

You wanna be the size of your love
You wanna be the size of your god
You wanna be the size of this trust
You must make sure that you steal it

You wanna be the size of your sex
You wanna be the size of your mess
You wanna be the size of what's next
You must make sure that you steal it

(Oh yeah baby, oh)
(I just feel so good)

You wanna be the size of your love
You wanna be the size of your god
You wanna be the size of this trust
You must make sure that you steal it

You wanna be the size of your sex
You wanna be the size of your mess
You wanna be the size of what's next
You must make sure that you steal it

All the time we wait for more
You don't have it all

Do you remember your house
And all the superman kids
Do you remember your mouth
Before they ruined all this

You wanna be the size of your love
You wanna be the size of your god
You wanna be the size of this trust
You must make sure that you steal it

You wanna be the size of your sex
You wanna be the size of your mess
You wanna be the size of what's next
You must make sure that you steal it

All the time we wait for more
You must make sure that you steal it
You don't have it all
You must make sure that you steal it

All the time we wait for more
You must make sure that you steal it
You don't have it all
You must make sure that you steal it

Hug Of Thunder lyrics - Broken Social Scene

Many years before I kept track of the years I felt I would look back
Otherwise why did I write down everything that entered my mind?
Check out these lines, like -
"I'm Syd Barrett and I'll swim to England in his clothes, in 20 holes"
How could I say at what point I would gain perspective let alone know I had it?

Survival by the soundtrack made of our short lives
Making sense of hologram ecology
I'll be up crying listening to Grace
And hiding in the pages adding up to me

Eternity
'Til I leave

It's like a topography that is made from cartography of me,
All those feelings
Every day the bus stop was the size of the entire world
The ball that broke your tooth
And carving at me all the time was I had done you wrong
I hope I'm sorry
Certain times in our lives come to take up more space than others
And time's gonna take it's time

The Kennys said I broke in over the summer
It was the evening when he climbed that tree
I was afraid what he was doing inside so I followed him to stop a robbery

All along we're gonna feel some numbness
Oxymoron of our lives
Getting fed up by that hunger
Supersize we found inside
They will know it's real, our numbness
Catching up and climbing life
Speaking like a hug of thunder
Lit up by the lights at dusk outside

All along we're gonna feel some numbness
Oxymoron of our lives
Getting fed up by that hunger
Supersize we found inside
They will know us by our numbers
Catching up and climbing life
Speaking like a hug of thunder
Lit up by the lights at dusk outside

There was a military base across the street
We watch them training while we leaned

There was a military base across the street
We watch them training while we leaned
We watch them training while we leaned

Towers And Masons lyrics - Broken Social Scene

They came to wed, and show
We came in late, touch score
Walking along
Avenue
Walking along
Struck in two, and found

Falling, falling
Back to towers and masons
I can't wait 'til the world
To know when
Falling, falling
Back to towers and masons
I can't wait to know
You'll notice
It's a mess

They crawled out
Of shells
They crawled out of
Their shells

They crawled out
Of shells
They crawled out of
Their shells

Victim Lover lyrics - Broken Social Scene

Look at the moon look after you
Look at all the things you didn't do
It's easy to believe disaster tries

Look at the stars look at the cars
Look at the things you pretend are yours
While we choke the sleep that you disguise

I'm still trying
Trying
Trying to decieve that this is right
Yeah I'm crushing
Crushing
Crushing on the prisoner by design

Look at the clues look at the bruise
Look at all the things that you did lose
I don't think this girl could crack a smile

Eat up the hearts, release the charts
Do what you think is why you're who you are
Estimate the dark of gone tonight

Oh, the winter minds, dream of the sea to arrive alive
My war is not better, my better is the best that you will find

Look at the men look at your friend
Look at the one you want to never end
Hostage like to feed the metre dimes

Look at the door look at your floor
Look at the face you want some more
Beaten down by the lonely pride

It's not me, it's not you, not them, not this time
Oh, the winter minds, love to dream to arrive alive
Oh, the winter minds, dream of the sea to arrive alive
It's not me, it's not you, not them, not this time

Please Take Me With You lyrics - Broken Social Scene

Please take me with you
I'm so tired
All the fools are winning
And nobody's wild
It's all about the fingers
Not about the eye
Please take me with you
I need your kind

And we'll run away for life
Yeah we'll run away for life
(S M C Y T I see the light above ya)
(S M C Y T I see the light above ya)

Please take me with you
It's getting dark
And nobody's speaking
Everyone's getting caught
All the men are leaving
There's nothing to start
Please take me with you
I want your heart

And we'll run away for life
(S M C Y T I see the light above ya)
Yeah we'll run away for life
(S M C Y T I see the light above ya)

Please take me with you
Yeah, I'm so tired
(S M C Y T I see the light above ya)
And nobody's speaking
And nobody's wild
(S M C Y T I see the light above ya)
It's all about the fingers
It's not about the eyes
(S M C Y T I see the light above ya)
Please take me with you
I need your kind

Gonna Get Better lyrics - Broken Social Scene

Future's not what it used to be
We still got to go there
Future's not what it used to be
You are all whispers, all whispers
Just a whisper
If you can
Got to go there
Future's not what it used to be
But we still gotta

Things'll get better
'Cause they can't get worse, oh
Things'll get better
'Cause they can't get worse
No they can't get worse
Things are gonna get better

And don't let them speak for you
And don't let them speak for you
I can't hear you
Tell me what you got to say
I can't hear you

Things'll get better
'Cause they can't get worse, oh
Things'll get better
'Cause they can't get worse
No they can't get worse
Things are gonna get better

Things are gonna get worse
Things will get better

Well I can't be the most of you
The temperature, once arose
I don't know what you like
It's gotta be
A photograph
You cannot believe a mouth
Who knows what they wanted
You cannot believe
Who knows what they want

Things'll get better
'Cause they can't get worse, oh
Things'll get better
'Cause they can't get worse
No they can't get worse
Things are gonna get better

Your head in my heart
Your head in my heart
Head in my heart
Head in my heart
Head, heart
Head, heart

Mouth Guards Of The Apocalypse lyrics - Broken Social Scene

How did this happen
Yeah, everybody quit
It's dancer and hatred
And the radio sounds like shit
If you can't help me
Then help someone like me
'cause it all went away, and it went quietly

Words of hope are a joke for the numb
The poets a liar and we all want some
It's me and it's you and it's all I can do
To not jump from the building
Jump right into you

Our heroes are dicks
We don't pay to protect them
If zero's a lover
I can't get a correction
The truth, the truth
That fabulous lie
I'm tired of smiling
While you constantly die

I don't wanna be scared
Or addicted to the dream
This fight is a ghost
Whose suicide was unseen
I'm done, I'm done
I wanna kill all my friends
I wanna grab them from the dark
And show them their end

It's you
It's me
And it's all we believe
I'm trying for the living and I'm staying
So I can leave
