The End Of An Album

[zeb]

Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, baby blue

[Simple Torture]

Hold on, Magnolia, to the thunder and the rain
To the lightning that has just signed my name to the bottom line
Hold on, Magnolia, I hear that lonesome whistle whine
Hold on, Magnolia, I think it's almost time

[zeb]

Of the beginning, of the beginning

[Norah]

I'll do it for you, honey baby. Can't you tell?

[Norah]

[epilogue]

You've got a good heart, baby.
You've got a good heart, it's true.
Mine's not so strong, but, you know, I've got this song.
And if you keep the beat, I'll keep the tune.

[Norah]

I always thought it was I'll keep the time.

[Norah]

To the lyric sheet!

[epilogue]

I'm wrong a lot, chum.

[Norah]

So am I.

[Norah]

The Internet says I'm wrong.

[epilogue]

Now I'm curious. I'm gonna check the LP liner notes... hold please...

[epilogue]

LP liner notes say "I'll keep the tune."

[Strat]

well you're high on top
of your mountain of woe
come on up to the house
well you know you should surrender
but you can't let go
you gotta come on up to the house

Potentially off-topic because it looks like we're talking about lyrics. Since the board has been discussing Tegan and Sara lately (what with Danny O'Malley's work with them, and bmacsmith's distaste for the latest album), I think the way "The Con" wraps up is wonderful. The last song is called "Call it Off": lyrically and musically, it resolves a lot of the themes of the album. But my favorite thing is that the percussion track is the sound of a drum kit being pulled apart and put away.

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end

[Jorge]

The branches spell "Alice"
and I belong only to you.

So awesome. And akin to the sound of Jeff Mangum setting down his guitar and walking out of the studio to end Aeroplane, and vanish for a decade.
