5 Responses to New album from Jordan Ireland’s new band, Stolen Violin
I just figured out the lyrics to all the songs. Well most of the lyrics. Good stuff
World of Sun
My world of sun
what have you done
what have you done
my world of sun
did you go
everybody touched you
My world of stars
tell me where you are
where you are
my world of stars
are you driving through fields of flowers
My world smoke
to which I woke
to which I woke
my world of smoke
what a twisted little frail disbelief
Floorboards
Dark skinned woman
Wheeled in your body
Like a sword drawn from the laws (?)
I’m a crooked crooked man
Creaking ‘cross your floorboards
I left you still sleeping
you looked just like a little raincloud
from which I had no shelter
and it’s been raining all of my life
Dark skinned woman
I’m creaking ‘cross your floorboards
Romance at the petrol station
December 25th I lost you at the farm
I found you in the dark at a tropical bar
On February fourth I held you in the back of an east bound silver top taxi-car
I led you to the train that went to federation and I kissed you out the front of the petrol station
And I really think you’d like it here
about this time of year
all of the clouds hang just like a poor man’s chandelier
On march 17th we were drinking at the beach
at the top of the hill we got caught in the rain
I didn’t hear from you from June till December and I waited for you but your bus never came and
I drove past the cane fields looking for something to remind me of something to remind me of you
And I really think you’d like it here
at this time of year
All of the people getting rid of their excess Christmas cheer
And its the first new moon since the new years party
I spilled beer on the photo i took of you at the beach and
I made you look golden for a moment in the garden
like the sun on a cloud that is just out of reach
There’s a new star shining but I haven’t named it
It’s been waiting for you to come back and claim
And I really think you’d like it here
At this time of year
All the moonlight would make all your money look insincere
And at this time of year
I think you’d like it here
all the children are playing and trying to disappear
and I wish you were here at this time of year
with your temperate touch and your tropical tears
the streets are empty and the smoke is almost clear
New Amnesia Skies
The clouds could open like a split in your dress
Of your Sunday best in the alley
With your horoscope kiss
The world is never turning slowly enough
For your body to keep up
And your healing our scars in reverse
Now I’m saving all of my secrets
Till I get through
back to you
Now I’m heading down in the evening
To breathe the breath you left behind
Leave the morning where it lies
Under new amnesia skies
You look so dangerous reflected on the lake
With your streetlight handshake
And shoulders sharp enough to cut
And if some easy way with a lovers trip
Beyond the mountain tip to kiss you once slips away
Now I’m saving all of my secrets
Till I get through back to you
Now I’m heading down in the evening
To breathe the breath you left behind
Leave the morning where it lies
Under new amnesia skies
38 Degree Blues
I saw you down at the station
Holding a photo of dumb luck
I saw you down at the station
Holding a picture of dumb luck
A the conductor took your hands
I heard something come unstuck
I read your notes on the land
Who cast no shadow on the open road
I read your notes on the man
who cast no shadow upon the open road
I heard a monkey squealing
In the belly of the river floatin’
It’s 38 degrees
with a car that won’t start
It’s 38 degrees
with a car that won’t start
You’ve got nowhere else to be
Staying here tears you apart
Took Starlight Seven Years
[something]
She’s got that look
Got that look in her eyes
Tonight
Tonight
Smoke caressing the billboards
Where she stopped on the roadside
Somewhere just inside the Marlborough stretch
Took starlight seven years
Seven years to get here
Just to fall across her shoulder-blade
Her shoulder-blade
Her shoulder-blade
Her shoulder-blade
Her shoulder-blade
Her shoulder-blade
When They Put it All On Red
And the hole in the sky and the ten thousand miles only you
And your hesitant hips and the sun on your lips just for you
and the steam from the bath dancing up upon the glass is for you
is for you
And the wind through the hair that’s stuck in the chair
[something]
and all of the trees are getting naked and falling asleep
[something]
And the light from the street something beach just for you
and the band plays along to the nights all belonging to you
and the needles and trees and the box of bees making honey just for you
the blood off the meat and the button you pressed to repeat your favourite song is for you
[something]
[something]
And I love you its true and you know that they all do too
and they gamble for you when they put it all on red
when they put it all on red
It’s all for you
when they put it all on red
Short cuts to true love
Country lovers
blood suckers
City slickers
Bad lovers
[something]
Black candy in the bad blood
pretty women in a flashflood
and the city [something]
Everything
like a bullet through the dust
We’re (?) looking
for a short cut to true love
We’re looking
like a bullet through the dust
everything like a short cut to true love
a short cut to true love
And your eye’s like an atlas
getting lost on the mattress
on the hotel down the beach
six crosses
dead flowers
lost wisdom
small hours
and the stars are on their sleeve
Everything like a bullet through the dust
We’re looking for a short cut to true love
We’re looking like a bullet through the dust
Everything for a short cut to true love
A short cut to true love
A short cut to true love

WORLD OF SUN – STOLEN VIOLIN (Jordan Ireland)
——————————————————————————-
Tabbed by: Tazman Osborne
Tuning: capo 2nd fret
This is a by-ear approximation of the accompanying guitar. The song has a
pretty wavy nature so you’ll have to feel the timing for yourself and
perhaps fill in any gaps with some extra notes from the appropriate chord…
I’ve put the approximate chord which the arpeggios have been based on above
the sections of tab, below the lyrics.
His guitar in the recording is not tuned perfectly with a tuner, so if you’re
playing along with the song then it probably won’t sound good unless you tweak
your tuning a bit to suit his reference note.
good luck
