"Raise The Roses"
(written by Tanya Donelly)
The kids were flying today
'Don't call her girlfriend' we were saying
And I was locked into a frame
But listening again
Don't wait up for me, I know what god wants
Raise the roof
Don't pay rent
Raise the roof, get high
I was purified today
And feeling now I can be pretty
And he is feeling very rude
But listening again
I hear my pillow screaming 'find him'
Raise the roof
Don't pay rent
Raise
the roof, get high
???
Quiet down, all you noisy girls
He loves those noisy girls
He wants to beat them up, he loves them
so much
Don't call me
'girlfriend'
Don't call
me 'girl'
This is no
light thunder
My ears
are humming with him
And
he's dancing 'cause it's raining
This is no light fever
My face is burning with him
And I'm building, but I'm losing
(Raise the roof)
If
I leave you
(Don't pay
rent)
Please don't call
me back again
(Raise
the roof)
You know where
I stay
In my lauding
room (get high, get lost, get low)
With that clause is
(Raise
the roof and space out the proof and pick up the roof)
I keep everything of yours (and raise the fences)
You keep me (raise the rent and pick up the roof)
Because I called you love
(Raise the roof and raise the roses)
That's the music, you know
From the box you gave to me long ago
When my room was cold
Now the sun falls on through the window
And she warms the wood
I can sit here all day with you
