Captain Obvious

Angeregt durch die Blogparade hier mal ein Überblick über meine Lieblingsstellen aus allen Brand New-Songs.
Freue mich echt schon auf das neue Album von Brand New, Daisy wird es heißen und im September erscheinen.
(Und nein, meine absolute Lieblingsstelle ist da auch dieses Mal nicht dabei )

The tickle, the taste of
It used to be the reason I breathed, but now it’s choking me up
Die young and save yourself!
-- Sic Transit Gloria… Glory Fades


So take me out tonight
The ship of fools I’m on will sink
A Milestone/Millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give
-- Millstone

Jesus Christ, I’m alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
’cause this problem is gonna last
More than the weekend
-- Jesus Christ

Goodbye to sleep
I think this staying up
Is exactly what I need
-- Degausser

Hey, you beauty supreme.
Yeah, you were right about me.
But can I get myself out from underneath
This guilt that will crush me
In the choir, I saw our sad Messiah.
He was bored and tired of my laments.
He said, “I died for you one time, but never again”
-- Limousine

So they say,
They say in heaven
There’s no husbands and wives
On the day that I show up
They’ll be completely out
Of their forgiveness supplies.
And I can’t use the telephone
To tell you that I’m dead and gone
So you won’t know
-- You won’t know

I’d drive my car off of the bridge,
If I knew that you weren’t inside,
With the pedal to the floor who could ask for more,
A fantastic way to kill some time.
-- Handcuffs

And I’m sick of your tattoos
And the way you don’t appreciate Brand New
or me.
And I know that you’re a sucker for anything acoustic
But when I say let’s keep in touch
I really mean I wish that you’d grow up
This is the first song for your mix tape
And it’s short just like your temper
-- Mix Tape

This is a lesson in procrastination
I kill myself because I’m so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
Means another lonely night I got to race the clock
-- Failure By Design

I’m heaven sent,
don’t you dare forget
I am all you’ve ever wanted
What all the other boys all promised
Sorry I told,
I just needed you to know
-- Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don’t

I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then it’s you I can do without
There’s nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
-- The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

If it make you less sad
I’ll move out of this state
You can keep to yourself
I’ll keep out of your way
[…]
Call me a safe bet
I’m betting I’m not
I’m glad that you can forgive
Only hoping as time goes that you can forget
-- The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot

If I could I would shrink myself
Sink through your skin to your blood cell
Remove whatever makes you hurt
But I am too weak to be your cure
-- Guernica

I will lie awake
Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
-- Me Vs. Maradona Vs. Elvis
