Have One On Me - Joanna Newsom.mp3

[00:01.006]From the courtyard, I floated in
[00:05.420]And watched it go down
[00:11.455]Heard the cup drop
[00:13.727]Thought, "Well, that's why they keep them around."
[00:21.956]The blackguard sat hard down
[00:25.848]With no head on him now
[00:31.255]And I felt so bad
[00:35.644]Cause I didn't know how to feel bad enough
[00:44.447]To make him proud
[00:51.396]By the time you read this
[00:53.825]I will be so far away
[01:00.277]Daddy longlegs, how in the world
[01:03.151]Am I to be expected to stay?
[01:08.976]In the night--
[01:11.066]In the night, you may hear me call
[01:17.597]Pa, stay your hand
[01:20.862]And steel your resolve
[01:25.094]Stay where you are
[01:29.352]So long and tall
[01:39.801]Here's Lola--ta da!--to do
[01:42.857]Her famous Spider Dance for you!
[01:47.585]Lighten up your pockets!
[01:55.944]Shake her skirts and scatter, there
[01:59.314]A shrieking, six-legged millionaire
[02:03.990]With a blight in his sockets
[02:12.062]Miss Montez
[02:13.577]The Countess of Lansfeld
[02:17.495]Appealed to the King of Bavaria
[02:27.056]Saying, "Pretty papa
[02:29.146]If you are my friend--
[02:30.766]Mister daddy longlegs, they are at it again!--
[02:35.285]Can I see you?"
[02:38.184]
[02:43.357]Poor Lola! A tarantula's mounting
[02:47.040]Countless Lansfeld's handsome brassiere
[02:53.727]While they all cheer
[02:58.351]And the old king fell from grace
[03:01.355]While Lola fled
[03:03.131]To save face and her career
[03:15.435]You caught a fly, floating by
[03:22.723]Wait for him to drown in the dust;
[03:26.380]Drown in the dust of other flies
[03:31.866]Whereby the machine is run
[03:35.993]And the deed is done
[03:40.643]Heaven has no word
[03:43.099]For the way you and your friends have treated poor Louis
[03:51.954]May god save your poor soul, Lola
[04:01.019](But there is nothing I adore
[04:05.616]Apart from that whore's black heart.)
[04:15.961]Well, doesn't that just beat all!
[04:18.233]Miss Gilbert
[04:19.957]Called to Castlemaine
[04:22.622]By the silver dollar and the gold glitter!
[04:31.190]Well, I've seen lots
[04:32.757]But never, in a million years
[04:36.493]Would think to see you, here
[04:46.158]Though the long road
[04:47.621]Begins and ends with you
[04:49.763]I cannot seem to make amends
[04:52.872]With you, Louis
[05:01.649]When we go out
[05:03.242]They're bound to see you with me
[05:16.669]At night, I walk in the park
[05:19.360]With a whip
[05:20.248]Between the lines
[05:21.606]Of the whispering Jesuits
[05:24.219]Who are poisoning you against me
[05:31.925]There's a big black spider
[05:34.067]Hanging over my door
[05:35.713]Can't go anywhere, anymore
[05:39.709]Tell me, are you with me?
[05:47.206]I called to you, several times
[05:50.994]While the change took place
[05:53.110]And then arrived, all night
[05:58.857]And I died
[06:03.167]But all these songs
[06:04.865]When you and I are long gone
[06:08.000]Will carry on
[06:09.646]Mud in your eye
[06:18.031]You asked my hand
[06:21.427]Hired a band
[06:26.599]"In your heart is all that you need;
[06:30.387]Ask and you will receive," it is said
[06:34.854]I threw my bouquet
[06:36.578]And I knocked 'em dead
[06:39.739]Bottle of white, bottle of red
[06:43.762]Helpless as a child
[06:46.243]When you held me in your arms
[06:48.882]And I knew that no other
[06:51.024]Could ever love me as you loved (love me as you loved)
[06:55.908]But help me! I'm leaving!
[07:00.637]I remember everything
[07:04.111]Down to the sound of you shaving--
[07:06.645]The scrape of your razor
[07:08.291]The dully-abrading black hair
[07:10.772]That remained
[07:12.757]When you clutched at me
[07:16.963]That night I came upstairs, half-dead
[07:20.908]And, in your kindness
[07:22.580]You put me straightaway
[07:24.565]In the cupboard
[07:25.584]With a bottle of champagne
[07:26.864]And then, later, on a train
[07:29.476]It was dark out, I was half-dead
[07:33.734]I saw a star fall into the sky
[07:37.025]Like a chunk of thrown coal
[07:38.958]As if god himself spat
[07:40.578]Like a cornered rat
[07:42.171]I really want you to do this for me
[07:46.246]Will you have one on me?
[07:50.426]It was dark; I was drunk and half-dead
[07:53.717]And we slept, knocking heads
[07:55.311]Sitting up in the star-smoking air
[07:58.028]Knocking heads like buoys
[07:59.908]Don't you worry for me!
[08:03.174]Have one on me!
[08:07.066]Meanwhile, I will raise my own glass
[08:10.410]To how you made me fast
[08:12.082]And expendable
[08:13.362]And I will drink to your excellent health
[08:17.019]And your cruelty
[08:20.075]Will you have one on me?
[08:24.281]--helpless as a child
[08:26.632]When you held me in your arms
[08:29.192]And I knew that no other
[08:31.073]Could ever love me--
[08:39.980]
[09:48.500]From the courtyard, I floated in
[09:51.869]And watched it go down
[09:56.336]Heard the cup drop
[09:58.217]Thought, "Well, that's why they keep them around."
[10:04.434]The blackguard sat hard down
[10:07.961]With no head on him now
[10:12.297]And I felt so bad
[10:15.771]Cause I didn't know how to feel bad enough
[10:24.131]To make him proud
[10:26.978]Well daddy longlegs, are you?
[10:31.471]Daddy longlegs, are you?
[10:34.997]Daddy longlegs, are you proud?
[10:41.319]
