Le psychédélisme acoustique et décharné de Swell a pris quelques rondeurs. Plus riche en sucre et en instruments divers, For all the beautiful people est un disque d'infime renouvellement.

Today realaudio
Bored and I'm sure, there's nothing gonna be remembered
Lord only knows, there's nothing gonna be denied

Still ain't fine I'd say... forever
Still ain't fine I'd say... today

Maybe I'm right, why don't you slow it down and listen
Maybe I'm wrong, don't have to be that someone's right

Still ain't fine I'd say... together
Still ain't fine I'd say... today

Got your advice, no room for being sentimental
Smiling inside, guess I'll be sick much later on...

Still ain't fine I'd say...
Still ain't fine I'd say...
Still ain't fine I'd say... forever
Still ain't fine I'd say... today
Today


Oh my my realaudio
Can't stay
Got a ways to go, we got a ways to go, it's easy

I bet,
You'd limp a thousand miles, you'd limp a thousand miles, to tease me

Sweet and low your sunny side takes all my time
Stay out side. They're subtleties but oh my my

Promise you will get all this
Promise you will get all this
Promise you will get all this wrong

I'd say
That you could straighten up, that you could straighten up so easy

I hope
You drink to kerouac, you drink to kerouac, not kesey

Four years
And such a momentary, such an ordinary little thing

Don't stay
If you ain't gonna be there when it's strong

Sweet and low your sunny side takes all my time
Stay out side. They're subtleties but oh my my

Promise you will get all this
Promise you will get all this
Promise you will get all this wrong

Sweet and low
Stay out side

Promise you will get all this
Promise you will get all this
Promise you will get all this wrong

Promise you will get all this right

I promise, I promise, I promise...
I promise, I promise, I promise...


Make up your mind realaudio
Good start
Just let me be aware
Don't miss
Just let me be aware
Make up your mind
And let me be aware
Hoping to make it all right

Swing time
Just let me be aware
You drive
Just let me be aware
Wake up your mind
And let me be aware
Hoping to make it o.k.

The gun the storm the way we run
Want you want me?

Damn wired
Just make me be aware
So bored
Just make me be aware
Shake up your mind
And let me be aware
Going to make it all right

The gun the storm the way we run
Want u want d?

The sun the storm the day we love
One two one three

Oh, grateful solitude - one fine day gone...

One fine day...


I hate Christmas realaudio
Usually, I end up hating christmas
No, I don't hate christmas

Off in my head realaudio
I'm walking to the party off of my head

Now it's out a sight
The difference is slight
Slipping into all-together's
All-together nice

I walk into the party off of my head

Drift from side to side
All our friends have died
A funny, funny, miracle
We're giving up, who tried
Sure it's all a tease
Noting hell could freeze
A simple little paranoia
Growing like a weed

I'm walking through the party off of my head

Panic through the trees
Freaking like the leaves
We can't afford the luxury
Of being semi-pleased
Cheaters they will talk
And try to beat the clock
We're near the end of everything
It's close enough, let's walk

I'm walking to the party off

Some would say it's not
It's like a world of soul and menace who could top
But it's easier to find connections lost
If you catch them soon

I was shimmering down the side of the road
And it was late
And I was late
So I got in the back of a cab
And the driver looked at me in the mirror and said
Where to chief?
And it was late
And I was late

I'm walking to the party off of my head


Something to do realaudio
So I phoned in from bed
One more day, like the rest
But, she's something to do
A small play, from the past
Walked out first, got home fast
And I still think of you

Maybe now who knows we could
Learn to write and speak good
Something someone somehow knew
Learn to write and speak real good

As I fell from the house
I just guessed what you'd say
Sure, she's something to do

Maybe now who knows we could
Learn to write and speak good
Something someone somehow knew
Learn to write and speak real good

And I stay cause I
Shouldn't stay and I
Want some way cause I
Shouldn't stay

And I saw where you go
And I know what you know
Still, you're something to do

Maybe now who knows we could
Learn to write and speak good
Something someone somehow knew
Learn to write and speak real good

Speak real good...


Pink pink rain realaudio
Instrumental.

Blackmilk realaudio
You think you're right, it's so reverse
I guess we died, but you died worse

I love your mind
I'm being kind
This stupid thing is wasting all my time

You think you're sad, I think that's crap
You're black as milk, and milk ain't black

Love is blind
I'm being kind
This stupid thing is wasting all my time

Gotta wait
Cause it's late
Not here and not gone

I love your mind
I'm being kind
This stupid thing is wasting all my time

Gotta wait
Cause it's late
Not here and not long

I don't care what you choose I no longer... Thank you
Someplace shiny and new I no longer... Blame you
Save yourself, hope you do, 'cause I no longer... Hate you

Someplace shiny and new


Everything is good realaudio
Don't decide who, so... so you make me high
Right on through we go... so you make me low
Fourty days of no... so you make me higher than I need to go

Ruby red just goes
Shining down on those
Fourty days of no

Let's not worry now
Let's not worry now

Let's not worry now
Cause we're right
And they're wrong
And it's over

Let's not worry now
Cause it's night
And we're strong
Maybe sober

I'm afraid of it
Rise in praise of it
Fourty days of it

Let's not worry now
Cause we're strong
And we're right
And it's over

Let's not worry now
We won't start
We won't fight
Panics over

Let's not worry now
You were wrong
We were right
Never sober

Let's not worry now
No disguise
We decide
Let's go south to night

Let's not worry now
Cause we might
You were right
Going south to night

Let's not worry now
You were wrong
We we're right
Never sober

Everything is good
Let's not worry now
Everything is good


Swill 9 realaudio
Come inside
We'll make you well
Every word, the less you know
Light enough
To be gunned down
Every thing, just let it go

Clocked out for sure we are
Un-resentable
Slowed up to wish we've come so hard
Un-regrettable

Yes I'm outside and its smooth where we are
Just let them go,
Can't decide in the back of your car...
Yes, I found out last I don't want much
Just let them go,
Carry on in the back of your car

Watching tv's goddamn shadows
Singing mickeys song

I begin to warm and dry
I change the schedule
Not impressed
I make your mine
Raise the flag it's take you over time

Yes, I found out last I don't want much
Just let them go,
Carry on in the back of your car

Ease on
It's gone

And I made them go down
Yes I made them go down
Down, down, down, down...


Tonight realaudio
Be sure
There's love
And bones
We are
Until
Who knows
I'll drive
I'll dream
Too young
Too old
Too night

We start
And then
Once was
You win
I trust
You've found
Your fool
Your crown
Too dark
Too cold
Too night

As I look back
My side or others
One last goddamn
Evening wanders
Right off through the highway's warning shoulders
Yeah, maybe life is like a cut
Here's hoping something fills it up
Forget about
The way it goes
You could not sleep there
Undiscovered
One more day not one more hour
All I really want is
All I really got is
Tonight

The stars; The sun and we go till then
The stars; The sun and we go tonight
Tonight


Don't you know they love you ? realaudio
Don't forget they love you
And I love you
Too much
Lonely..
Yeah...
