lyrics

Ulysses

Board up that hungry heart
Drown it tonight like the last one
Tie me to the mast in the storm
Song at our backs
A light on the shore

You never squeezed blood from a stone
Tonight you might try if you had one
Fates become your gracious host
Never to leave, never say no

Lets feast like swine, break bread, drink wine
Tomorrow can wait my dear
You like the way your magic don’t work on me
It’s just the party favors but I’ll never say

Ten days we were blown off course
Into the arms of these flower boys
No one seems wound up about home
Just fill my glass and let me sink like a stone

Heard she can drink all day
Got a thirst that could swallow the sea
Mad as a cat in heat
Drowns all the boys at the bottom of her drink

Lets feast, like swine, break bread, drink wine
Tomorrow can wait my dear
You like the way your magic don’t work on me
It’s just the party favors but I’ll never say

el palomino Vancouver, British Columbia

El Palomino is the creative efforts of Justin Fleming and friends, based out of Vancouver BC. El Palomino’s debut album Badlands, is a down-tempo drive through a soulful, sonic landscape. The album re-draws the boundaries of indie-rock to encompass the no mans land where soul, shoegaze, R&B, and dream-pop intersect. Justin has played in Vancouver indie bands like Run River and Library. ... more
