Beverly & Barbara Do LA

Last of all the soldier
To leave her kind behind
Empty glasses become a cathedral
When you let the light in
Am I really going to let the darkness win again tonight
Let me sleep
I’ll be back on top in a week
I wrote a script and titled it
Beverly and Barbara Do LA
Baby there’s no room to try the new things
You never taught me how to hold em’ and when to fold the cards
I’m spinning a thousand plates in the air at the same time
Make me strong
Let me sleep
I’ll be back on top in a week
I wrote a script and titled it
Beverly and Barbara Do LA
How am I still standing
Do you just say the first thing that comes into your mind
You can’t save me
You can’t save me
No one can save me from myself
But you’re right I gotta leave some things behind
Babe you gotta leave this here
Let me sleep
I’ll be back on top in a week
I wrote a script and titled it
Beverly and Barbara Do LA
Let me sleep
I’ll be back on top in a week
I wrote a script and titled it
Beverly and Barbara Do LA
Mama you gotta leave some things behind
Girl you gotta leave some things behind
Baby you gotta leave some things behind

The Worst

The way it goes back together again
The way it goes back
You're the worst
You're the worst
Ah
The worst thing you can do is nothing at all
One step at a time straight up a wall
I'm crawling out my skin
Ah
I'm crawling out of a burned down house
Can we get back together again
Can we get back
You're the worst
One step at a time straight up a wall
Because the worst thing you can do is nothing at all
Yeah the worst thing you can do is nothing at all
For what
What was it all
What was it all for
Absolutely endlessly I fall
Absolutely endlessly I fall
You're the worst
You're the worst
Ah
You're the worst
Mmm
The worst thing you can do is nothing at all
Yeah the worst thing you can do is nothing at all
The worst thing you can do is nothing at all
Yeah the worst thing you can do is nothing at all
You're the worst

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Well, you started out with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please
Please
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor
Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you

Magical Thinking
02:44
|
|||
Who thought it would end like this
The great arbitrator in the sky did
Waiting for you at the Arclight
At the end of a date night
Smelling like popcorn
At the end of our relationship
All of the nights
Pretending that magically
I’d be fine
To close the door on the break up
The truth always comes out in the morning
Maybe if I break your heart as a warning
I’m always trying to hold on
It’s magical thinking
I think I’m broken too
and I’ll be broken for a long, long time
I believe in redemption, but I don’t know if it applies to me
I should have cancelled the subscription while the trial was free
I needed a project
And I didn’t want that project to be me
And then you showed up
You were bright as the light at the end of the tunnel
So we started the drumroll
And then I got hit by a truck
The truth always comes out in the morning
Maybe if I break your heart as a warning
I’m always trying to hold on
It’s magical thinking
I think I’m broken too
and I’ll be broken for a long, long time
I wish I could wake up
I wish I could wake up
The truth always comes out in the morning
Maybe if I break your heart as a warning
I’m always trying to hold on
It’s magical thinking
Think I’m broken too.
And I’ll be broken for a long, long time

Acapulco
02:41
|

She need a permanent vacation
She told me a thousand times
But I had the music on
Sitting in the laptop light
Going through some photographs
Of people that I never liked
And now I realize
Now i realize
I can’t do this without you
All the time that you’re there
Slipping through my hands again
Falling back into the sand
Acapulco
Acapulco
Baby moved to acapulco
She told me a thousand times
But i had the music on
While she got her look just right
I couldn’t even meet her eyes
She took the next flight
To Acapulco
Acapulco
I can’t do this without you
All the time that you’re there
Slipping through my hands again
Falling back into the sand
Acapulco
Acapulco
Acapulco

Barbara Wants
05:08
|
|||
Even though it feels
So much like life
Doesn’t have a point
And we’re just paying rent on earth
Wasting time
Excited to die
Nobody asked me before
Do you want to be born
My barbara wants
To kill herself
My barbara wants
To kill herself
And I
Just want to figure it out
Have you ever been in love
With someone
Who doesn’t want to get better?
There’s no telling her what to do
But I can tell you this
My barbara wants
To kill herself
My barbara wants
To kill herself
And I
I
Barbara wants
Barbara wants
Barbara wants
Barbara wants
I love her even so
My barbara wants
To kill herself
My barbara wants
To kill herself
My barbara wants
To kill herself
My barbara wants
To kill herself
And I
Just want to figure it out
Loyal
Aren't you glad I'm loyal
Aren't you glad I'm loyal
Aren't you glad I'm
Aren't you glad I'm
Aren't you glad I'm
Loyal
Aren't you glad I'm loyal
Aren't you glad I'm loyal
Aren't you glad I'm
Aren't you glad I'm
Aren't you glad and I'll follow you
I'll follow you underground
Loyal
Aren't you glad I'm loyal
Aren't you glad I'm loyal
Aren't you glad I'm
Aren't you glad I'm
Aren't you glad I'm
Loyal
Aren't you glad I'm loyal
Aren't you glad I'm loyal
Aren't you glad I'm
Aren't you glad I'm
Aren't you glad and I'll follow you
I'll follow you underground

The Sometimes Island Los Angeles, California
If Daft Punk and Fleet Foxes had a lovechild, this band would disappoint its parents and be sent to boarding school for
sounding like The 1975.
This is exactly what tropical indie-pop band The Sometimes Island are made of. Synth-heavy pop laced with introspective lyrics and bright, colorful sounds, it’s music you can both sway your hips to and appreciate both physically and intellectually.
