No Country Lyrics


I heard there was a kind of tree releasing spores,
That could enslave a mind, to follow secret laws.
He came home one day and he was changed for good.
Now he'll never walk, under sycamore.I love you like we're in the movies.
I got a Cold War fascination.
Blooming with the day she was.He said "I won't dirty you when I'm making love."
He don't realise. He don't realise.I love you like we're in the movies.
I got a pirate fascination.
Blooming at the gate she was.
But Uncle Johnny, I don't see a way out,
It's like a roller coaster going round and round
in my childhood holiday,
But there all in chains:
My mama's in chains,
My daddy's in chains,
My brother's in chains,
Sister: chains,
Julietta: chains,

Julianna: chains,
Frida: chains.I heard there was some kind of lost metropolis
That could enslave a mind, to harbour
Secret fears.I gotta get paid; gotta get made of make-believe,
'Cause there is no country for young men
like me.I love you starlight,
Hold tight, when you're seeing red,
But it's alright, put my head under the bed.
And singing me to sleep, she was,
but they're all in chains:
My mama's in chains,
My daddy's in chains,
My brother's in chains,
Sister: chains,
Julietta: chains,
Julianna: chains,
Frida: chains.Guess there is no country for young men,
No country for young men,
No country for young men like you.I bet you're at some kind of party.
I bet you're like a superstar there.
I hope you're on an A-3-80 outta here.I love you like we're in the movies.
I bet you're hanging out with Tupac.
I hope you're out there,
Somewhere in the atmosphere.I heard there was a kind of tree releasing spores,
That could enslave a man, to follow secret laws.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Jezabels are an indie rock band from Sydney, New South Wales that formed in 2007. The group's members are Hayley Mary (vocals), Samuel Lockwood (guitar), Heather Shannon (piano/keyboard) and Nik Kaloper (drums).

We are a thing that came out of a few chance meetings at Sydney University. You see, Heather and Hayley had been playing music together for a while. Inevitably came the journey south from Byron - being their place of youth - to Sydney for a foray into higher education. Nik and Sam were studying at Sydney University also. And you know, for some reason you just meet people...

We don't have a manifesto as such, but we do have definite intentions in what we do. We wish to play pop, but with a recognizable element of self-awareness. We wish to be emotional, but with a sense of certainty that our audiences won't walk away thinking that we take ourselves too seriously. What is paramount is an attempt to push this thing called the culture industry in some direction which makes it more human. (I guess this is all too ambitious but oh well... We do try)

Heather studies piano at the conservatorium and reads a bit too much Russian literature. Hayley looks toward her personal canon of pop ballads for guidance in all situations and believes we must return to the way life was prior to the poker machine epidemic. Nik is a science student who imbues his drumming with formulas and mathematical complexities. Sam is a country music-playing, Marx-spouting communist with a love of all things meaningfully subversive.

The Jezabels have released 3 EPs: Dark Storm (2010), The Man Is Dead (2009) and She's So Hard (2009).

Their debut album Prisoner was released in September 2011.
