Inside a Boy

Inside a boy
I found the universe
And in his eyes are a thousand stars
On a dark sky
Ooooh
Ooooh
We are clouds, we are whispers
Like fawns and shapeshifters
Our ages can never be found out
Our edges keep moving farther on
We are stars colliding,
though we crash like lightning
into love. Love.
In his arms, I'm alive.
From his kiss, I'm falling into love.
We are stars colliding,
though we crash like lightning
into love. Love

The Ice & The Storm
05:22
|

Open up your heart to me darling
You're resisting this bliss
You've been dreaming only of it
It's just like ice building up inside darling
We've accumulated too much miscommunication
In a beginning everything is soft
Not defensive
Perhaps we begin again shyly
I want to love you loosely
I want to love you loosely
So nothing is stopping me from receiving
From giving out
I want a storm to blow it out
I want to shake myself and turn my heart inside out
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

If I Were Queen
02:37
|

If I were queen
Then you and I'd be neighbours
I'd take you out each morning
For doughnuts and tea
Oh, close by...
Oh, close by...
If I were queen
Then you and I'd be neighbours
We'd collect things
And we could argue where to put them
Oh, close by...
Oh, close by...

Apples
02:28
|

Sometimes in the Springtime
I like to see the apple blossoms with you
Sometimes in the Winter
I like to see the snow falling with you
Once we took apples from my grandfather's tree
But I had nowhere to plant the seed
So we baked them with sugar
and we ate them
Sometimes on Saturdays when it's raining
we do laundry
Especially then I like to watch you
fold so carefully the clothes
Especially then I like to watch you move your fingers slow

Avec une menace doucereuse
Et des manières de champion de boxe
Black and costaud
Black and chic
Black, black, black
Jolly fellow, jolly fellow, black
I punch sir
I boxe you
I punch sir
I boxe you
Avec une menace doucereuse
Et des manières de champion de boxe
Black and costaud
Black and chic
Black, black, black
Black and thick and vrai beau gosse
Vrai beau gosse
I punch your nose
I knock you out
You stupid chose
I punch your nose
I marm'lad you
You stupid chose
Stupid chose
Avec ma voix je marm'lad' toi
Je marm'lad' toi
Costaud
Punch your nose
Black and costaud
Stupid chose

To Pluto's Moon
06:49
|
|||
How i tried to catch you while you ran ahead of me
I lassoed mars to see if you were hiding there
But you'd already ran past jupiter to pluto's moon
And my rope won't reach that moon
This is a state of electrical shock
You were so beautiful i thought you'd last forever
But you came and you went when the lights went out
You went like you came
In a light'ning bolt
Why did you go like this
I slam against the wall
It's crushing my skull
Why did you go like this
I slam against the wall of permanence
And like a ghost i am spinning
In circles the dance of pluto's moon

Bass Player

Bass player
All alone
Makes a sound
Most wouldn't call a symphony
As he plays
Thinks of a maid
Sad and shuffling
She sings
Blow me a kiss
Before I drown
In sorrow me a kiss
Before I drown
He saw her
By the moon
Dress in hand
Her hips were swaying
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/my_brightest_diamond/bass_player.html ]
Melancholy tune
Broken buckles
Tired lips, ooh
She was singing
Blow me a kiss
Before I drown
In sorrow me a kiss
Before I drown
She said I wanna be with the stars tonight
So I can fly above the earth
I wanna be with the stars tonight
So I can fly above
I wanna be with the stars tonight
So I can fly above in laundry

Goodbye Forever
03:53
|
|||
Oh, to love
By fire, by flame
This old feeling
Insignificance
Insignificance
Then I can hear you
Brighter than the stars
Your voice is a razor blade
I can see you shining through the sun
You're so mysterious
Lose the hold
As I throw this
With a goodbye forever
Fear of exposure
Fear of exposure
Then I can hear you
Brighter than the stars
Your touch is lightening
I can feel you
Prickling like a thousand shark teeth
Prickling like a thousand shark teeth
Closer to me
Come closer to me
Come closer to me
Come closer to me
Come closer to me
Still

Like a Sieve
03:03
|
|||
I rest my head on water
I slip under
I descend into the deep
Past the rushes
Past the shipwrecks
Into my tears I float
And like a sieve
I'm catching leaves and sticks
I'm catching planks and fishes
So it washes through me clean
I'm run clean through

My Brightest Diamond Detroit, Michigan
Musical firebrand Shara Nova (formerly Worden) has continued to weave her own way through pop, experimental and classical worlds, this time landing squarely on the dance floor with A Million And One. Nova has marshaled the influences of a youth spent listening to Detroit radio into a visceral love letter to the city, an electronic pop record both vulnerable and full of a fierce fighter's spirit. ... more
