New Cannonball Blues Lyrics


Hey girls, hey boys, no, don't mind the noise
It's just the sound of being dragged ahead
It's just a pornographic annulationship
As we watch the spider's web eat itselfAll this death above, extinguishing
All that you've ever known
Turn your touch screens off and start harvesting
In the seeds that your parents sewIt's got me singing blues that hit you like a cannonball
Loud enough to break your bones
But it was written in blood before they wrote it in stone
So sing it with me like it's your ownIt's got me fucked up and dried up, and fed up, can't get up
And bleeding and crying like I'm mad at the song
I'm a carbon copy, now they got me up
Oh, look at where we're goingIt's got you strung out and bothered, and caught up, and drowning
And feeling, and shot up, and feeling you gotta run
You're a carbon copy, now they got me up
Oh, look at where we're goingYou're getting bothered staying low like under four hundred blows
Makes you feel like you are all by yourself
So when the chance comes along where you could help out a wrong

The bullshit's got you stuck up on the shelfBut it's heavy, I'm not ready
Do you feel like you're swimming in the notes?
Well baby, follow the sound that's shooting out of your crown
There's only one way up from the floorIt's got me fucked up and dried up, and fed up, can't get up
And bleeding and crying like I'm mad at the song
I'm a carbon copy, now they got me up
Oh, look at where we're goingIt's got you strung out and bothered, and caught up, and drowning
And feeling, and shot up, and feeling you gotta run
You're a carbon copy, now they got me up
Oh, look at where we're goingNow gonna kick toe, gonna run right forward
Lord, not the first time we've imposed a locked door
Oh critter, fight back, it's your sole reward
Below with your fist up, brush the dust off
Boy, it's got, got, it's got me singingBlues that hit you like a cannonball
And loud enough to break your bones
But it was written in blood before they wrote it in stone
So sing it with me like it's your ownThose blues, they hit you like a cannonball
Loud enough to break your bones
But wish the rising in love before we're taking the throne
So sing it with me like it's your ownYou better dust off and get up, get ready to push up
Hey baby, get ready 'cause yeah, yeah, it's gonna come
If we want to see what's possible for a, a better way right nowYou better dust off and get up, get ready to push up
Hey baby, get ready 'cause yeah, yeah it's gonna come
When the truth is spoken, love's unbroken
Nothing's gonna weigh us down

TV on the Radio is a Brooklyn, New York, USA-based band that was formed in 2001. Their music is difficult to classify and is often described as art rock or post-punk, but is educated by a diverse spectrum of styles including freeform jazz and a cappella music, psychedelia and trip-hop, modern soul and classic '90s indie rock, giving them a unique and original sound. The core members are Tunde Adebimpe (vocals, loops), David Andrew Sitek (guitars, keyboards, loops) and Kyp Malone (vocals, guitars, loops), but the band is accompanied by additional members when performing live. On record, they've been joined by Jaleel Bunton (drums) and Gerard Smith (bass) (both of whom have recently become permanent members), Martin Perna (flute, saxophones) and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (guitar). Celebration's Katrina Ford and Blonde Redhead's Kazu Makino have both made vocal contributions to various TVotR tracks and even art rock legend David Bowie (an early advocate and advisor of the band) has a vocal cameo on 2006's Return To Cookie Mountain.

Their first album was the self-released OK Calculator (the title being a reference to Radiohead's seminal album OK Computer), the majority of which is wildly different from their later sound, with elements of electro, hip-hop and turntablism. Later they were joined by Kyp Malone and released Young Liars (EP) and Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes (LP) to great critical acclaim, the latter earning them a Shortlist Music Prize. They have since released a second EP, New Health Rock which contains a new track, New Health Rock; a cover of Modern Romance and The Wrong Way, a track formerly available on Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes.

In February 2006, TV on the Radio signed to Interscope Records in the USA, leaving their longtime label, Touch & Go. They are signed to legendary English label 4AD in the UK and Europe. Their highly-anticipated album Return To Cookie Mountain was released in September 2006.

In September 2008, the fourth album, Dear Science was released to great critical success, earning the honor of album of the year from Spin Magazine, Rolling Stone, and Entertainment Weekly. The band embarked on a tour in its support.

The band's fifth album, Nine Types of Light, was released in April 2011. On 20 April 2011, the band's bassist Gerard Smith died of lung cancer at the age of 36.
