Trouble, more trouble can you get anymore<br /> Slow bubble boiling on the bedroom floor<br /> Lonely ain't lonely, someone calling at the door<br /> Someone lovely and she's bringing bad newsShe clenches and she cries and she lays on the stairs<br /> Pounding on the earth and yanking at her hairs<br /> And showing such fear at being found unawares<br /> To be here and be bringing bad newsWell, something bad happens and a lot of people go<br /> Bad themselves, that's how awful it is<br /> Turning half the heart into something hard and dark<br /> And she had to bring here thisWell, she's told, "Hold your buttons and look at the sky<br /> Someone will fix things if you let your face dry<br /> Keep your face near the earth and your heart beat high<br /> And you may transcend the bad news"Well, something bad happens and a lot of people go<br /> Bad themselves, that's how awful it is<br /> Turning half the heart into something hard and dark<br /> And she had to bring here thisFor all hammers and nails<br /> For all leaves and winds<br /> For all love ambitions<br /> And enemies and friendsShe shakes her face so fiercely that all her features go<br /> She lays like a monkey unclothed in the snow<br /> And her voice it decays and before it does she goes,<br /> "I will never again deliver bad news"Something bad happens and a lot of people go<br /> Bad themselves, that's how awful it is<br /> Turning half the heart into something hard and dark<br /> And she had to bring here thisMm, hey little bird hey little bird<br /> Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you<br /> Hey little bird hey little bird<br /> Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you<br /> (Hey little bird hey little bird)<br /> Thank you for not (letting go of me when I let go of you)Lyrics provided by TANCODEhttps://damnlyrics.com/" readonly=""/>

No Bad News Lyrics


Trouble, more trouble can you get anymore
Slow bubble boiling on the bedroom floor
Lonely ain't lonely, someone calling at the door
Someone lovely and she's bringing bad newsShe clenches and she cries and she lays on the stairs
Pounding on the earth and yanking at her hairs
And showing such fear at being found unawares
To be here and be bringing bad newsWell, something bad happens and a lot of people go
Bad themselves, that's how awful it is
Turning half the heart into something hard and dark
And she had to bring here thisWell, she's told, "Hold your buttons and look at the sky
Someone will fix things if you let your face dry
Keep your face near the earth and your heart beat high
And you may transcend the bad news"Well, something bad happens and a lot of people go
Bad themselves, that's how awful it is
Turning half the heart into something hard and dark
And she had to bring here thisFor all hammers and nails
For all leaves and winds
For all love ambitions

And enemies and friendsShe shakes her face so fiercely that all her features go
She lays like a monkey unclothed in the snow
And her voice it decays and before it does she goes,
"I will never again deliver bad news"Something bad happens and a lot of people go
Bad themselves, that's how awful it is
Turning half the heart into something hard and dark
And she had to bring here thisMm, hey little bird hey little bird
Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you
Hey little bird hey little bird
Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you
(Hey little bird hey little bird)
Thank you for not (letting go of me when I let go of you)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Will Oldham (born 24 December 1970, Louisville, Kentucky) is an American singer-songwriter, actor, and musician. His music is often (perhaps inappropriately) placed under the genre of "alt-country". Oldham has recorded under many names, including Palace, Palace Music, Palace Brothers, and Bonnie Billy. He often plays and records with other musicians, including David Pajo and his brothers Ned and Paul Oldham, but is generally the chief creator of the music. He has also been involved in musical projects and bands such as Amalgamated Sons of Rest, The Anomoanon, The Boxhead Ensemble, Tortoise, and The Sundowners as well as releasing his first solo album in 1993. Oldham has said that the Bonnie 'Prince' Billy moniker has many references. These include 'Bonnie' Prince Charlie, an 18th century Jacobite; Billy the Kid, the 19th century American outlaw also known as William Bonney; and the American singer Nat King Cole. He has also appeared in several films, such as the 1987 film Matewan and most recently in Old Joy (released in late 2006). He is also the photographer of the cover image of the slint album Spiderland. Read more on Last.fm.
