Joanna Newsom - Yarn And Glue Lyrics
Do you know what this is, son?
This is the Panopticon
And all around us blink the brash
And shifty eyes of common cash
Down the path by which one dabbles
In the arts of antediluvian crafts
With yarn and glue?
So gather twilight to your breast
And couch the rabble-rouser's nest
And we will take a day of rest
And we will all be heaven-blessed
And we will gather round to dine
And toast in dandelion wines
To hear their mellifluous chimes
We toast the fallow furrows that we sow,
And we toast the monies that we owe, owe, owe
And we toast the creditors we daily face
Who topple down with gruesome grace
And we toast the aristocrats with blood of blue
'Cause we know that our collars are that color, too
And we toast the artisans of antediluvian crafts
With yarn and glue
We do, we do

Joanna Newsom Yarn And Glue Comments
This is what we need to hear now in the face of total world calamity.
I love Joanna, but somehow I'm just listening to this now. And I CAN'T STOP
don't really know what I just listened to but Goddam I'm excited
If I listened to Joanna when i was in high school, i would have done so much better on the SAT... anyways great music!
I think you mean brilliant.
or it doesn't :(
This song is SO FREAKING WEIRD!!!
It's about the feast in the sky with Christ after the destruction of the world.
aha same! i always some to Joanna when im sad :3
Sophisticated lyrics. Upbeat tune. Enchanting voice. This is music.
@Gary190tube There's also a growing trend these days of over-rated "pop" and rap artists that only sing about sex, drugs and "partying". I'm sorry but it aint my fault if you're tone-deaf. GO JOANNA!
@bendabledoll Cheer up bud! everything gets better eventually.
@Gary190tube what is an example of this?
there's a growing trend these days for female singers to sing in baby-waby voicey-woices......
@StarsManny Lol right! hahahah! boxxy! xP
Sort of like a cross between Kate Bush, Bjork and Boxxy.
Annoying.
How cud Andy samberg date her I love Andy samberg AHHH
And couch the rabble-rouser's nest
And we will take a day of rest
And we will all be heaven-blessed
And we will gather round to dine
And pass the time with wicked rhymes
And toast in dandelion wines
To hear their mellifluous chimes
We toast the fallow furrows that we sow,
We toast the monies that we owe, oh, oh
We toast the creditors we daily face
Do you know what this is son?
This is the panopticon
And all around us blink the brash
And shifty eyes of common cash
So do we die or do we travel?
Down the path by which one dabbles
In the arts of antediluvian crafts
With yarn and glue
So gather twilight to your breast
Who topple down with gruesome grace
And we toast the aristocrats with blood of blue
Because we know our collars are that colour too
And we toast the artisans of antediluvian crafts
With yarn and glue
We do, we do!
Oh wow, I just now discovered her first two albums. It's so interesting to hear how her music has developed over time.
Very pretty. :3
