lyrics

VI. Dishes and Spoons

I am watching you dry dirty dishes like I've done for years. I will
leave soon like I said I would but I won't mean it when I say that
it's for good. No - not this time. While I'm trying to write you a
love song. Because I know it's time you heard one. I'm trying to
write you a love song because somewhere you know you're some-
one.
The dish is gonna run away with the spoon because we're having
no more of the needle and the spoon. The dish is gonna run away
with the spoon. And they better do it real damn soon because
they're never coming back for you. No they're never coming back
for you, no not for you, not this time.
While I'm trying to write you this love song. Because I know it's time you heard one. I know it's time you heard. I know it's time. I know it's time.
Fairy tales never found me a heroine. heroin was never a heroine.
It just let you play the victim (and we know they love you when
you play the victim). Fairy tales never found me a heroine, but
heroin was never a heroine. no no no - not again and again and
again. and again and again and again and now i am ten and you're
saying you want to die again (and again and again) and we're breaking dishes again and I'm wishing all you're spoons would bend. i am.
i'm wishing all you're spoons would bend. why won't they bend? why
wouldn't they bend. No -not this time. But we're trying to write you
a love song. Trying to write you a love song.
you always told me
you wanted "all of my dreams to come true."
you never told me
about dreams for you. Come tell me 'bout dreams coming true.
Come tell me about your dreams coming true. please -come tell me
'bout your dreams coming true. i need you to come tell me about
you're dreams coming true.

about

Bonfire Madigan San Diego, California

Bonfire Madigan, AKA Madigan Shive, is one of my favorite musicians of all time. She clutches her cello like a life-raft, singing in gorgeous yelps and hums. It doesn’t really matter if you like the kind of music Bonfire Madigan sings, because she does it so soulfully and gracefully, you can’t help but stand there open mouthed, gawking at her vocals and cello.— JS The Mercury Pdx, OR ... more
