I saw the erosion of my jaw Over time, as defined by a bone I was looking lonely, brave and young For a family, some land and a home And I have had visions of a time Where building ships, and busting lips is all I know Oh I don’t need wealth or flattery I just want to feel a little loved everywhere I go You told me once that I was a hero Well I’m not a hero But I’ll be bold as bricks for you All for you All for you But you said you needed a mountain Well I’ll be your mountain I’ll be your mountain Don’t want to sink into the ocean Don’t want to fade into the blue So I will find myself a mountain And get over it to you No strife, I want nothing of your life But I’ll be blue collar true all the same I’ve got everything we need A mortgage and my gorgeous family name So try and break me, I am a castle I am a brick wall I will be bold as bricks for you All for you, Awful you But you said you needed a mountain Well I’ll be your mountain I’ll be your mountain Don’t want to sink into the ocean Don’t want to fade into the blue So I will find myself a mountain And get over it to you Don’t want to sink in to the ocean Don’t want to fade into the sea So I will make myself a mountain So you cannot get over me

You are a picture of yourself Beautiful and broad shouldered And I don't think I'm any closer to the day Where I can sing a song and say your name So I will take my tongue and bite it I'll take my love unrequited I'll let my dishes pile up in the sink and Go see a man about a drink I found my words upon the Atlantic And you've got eyes as brown as beer So excuse me if I get romantic When the whites of your eyes disappear I've been stitching up my clothes Turning rags to riches And I don't think I'm any closer to the day I won't be stitching upon my stitches So I'll take pride in all my resilience I'll take a couple words and I'm gonna strive for brilliance And while it never comes out like I need it to I get a way with my words with you But there are some that I'll never tell you Cause they're as hard to say as to hear So I'll get by on the jokes that I sell you When the whites of your eyes disappear

about

The Bawdy Electric Montréal, Québec

The Bawdy Electric make raucous power pop with big, rollicking guitars, fiercely modern hooks, and words as carefully chosen as a first car. They call their sound “Power Pub”, but this is not your Dad's Dad Rock band. They can be mentioned in the same breath as Elvis Costello, The New Pornographers, Roxy Music, or Big Star's “Third”, so long as you take a big enough breath. ... more
