art school makes you wild
real school makes you wanna get high
high school makes you crazy
high school made me cry
i am shy to begin with
this is the diagnosis
i can't focus
and i can't keep up cause i'm always running away
all your friends are drunk and wild
all my friends are depressed
my daddy is a fireman
and yours is an actress
i won't go i won't go i won't go i wont go

Birthday Song
01:08
|

|
just because i am a certain age
doesn't mean that i am any older
than i was yesterday
'cause i get all flushed and ugly
wonder how ever he loved me
i am so clumsy
i think how repulsive to you
it must be when i refuse
to do the things you want me to
i hate everybody in this town
so i walk around with my head down
and sit alone
sometimes i just want you joejoe
but i know that that is no no
its so impossible
ooooo

i love my brother owen
though i do not know him
i only dream of you
sometimes eliza too
it's raining in my head
i cry and eat my bread
my tears are what i spread
on convoluted meals
icicles hanging in caves
have very special names
i love my honey's lungs
i kiss him on the tongue
ronnie and frank
holding hands at the bank
undoing what i've done
will not have been much fun

Buses Splash With Rain
02:09
|

i'm the kind of girl buses splash with rain
i'm the kind of girl buses splash with rain
look mom i'm hobbling through
i am gonna be a painter too
i make my canteen so heavy
as if i need anymore water today
cause we are not young
and this isn't a party
i guess i should leave
this party with little bear
i'm the kind of girl
who doesn't care
but we are not young
and this isn't a party
with a shy grin
and a silent tip of a forty

Leonie

everyone is gone
i turn the light on
he shook me around
drove on the wrong side of the road
a bakers dozen of bad affairs
but along came ronnie
i climb up the space between
i'm bitter like olives
thats why you like them and i don't
rarely
i spend 80 dollars
red-mouthed
hulking
i stand beside ali in the mirror
hulking
that's why you like me and i don't
Leonie
I'm lonely
put pipe cleaner gold around me
Leonie
I'm lonely
i'm sitting where we'd sit
but now it's different
meet me at the pier
cigarettes and beer
i'll cut your hair
i don't care
Germany
takes you from me

I Do Too
01:17

|
everybody is nobody
Joey apologizes anyway
when i stay still
i can still feel
my body inside of my body
i am nodding inside of my body
i go to the bathroom
cause they all got the moves
he tries not to think of you
i do too i do too
i could be thrilling
if you are willing
to overlook a few things
i am crazy
i have no idea what i'm doing
when he thinks of you
i try not to, i do too
he tries not to think of you
i do too, i do too

my ass is made of velvet
and my hips are made of stone
and if you really love me
you will leave me alone
i wanna go dancing (dancing) in the public eye
i wanna go dancing (dancing) in the public eye
the ceiling is the sky
and the rug is the leaves
and my honey fell asleep
under the christmas tree
i wanna go dancing (dancing) in the public eye
i wanna go dancing (dancing) in the public eye
you undo all my clutter
leave me alone in the flutter
i try not to be pretentious
but i always get embarrassed
i wanna go dancing (dancing) in the public eye
i wanna go dancing (dancing) in the public eye

Sad 2

he was just a dog
now his body's gone
so what is left? but me and my poem
i am just a normal girl
but my name is frank
i just wanna get taken
on a date
all the crazies on the bus
love me so much
i laugh at all the lights
and feel a little right
what is coffee
and what is wine
i dont mind
if you dont mind
honey you are always so sad
cat's out of the bag
i'm sad 2
dad made the appointment
to kill my best friend
there goes my fear
of death
i just want my dog back
is that so much to ask
i wish that
i could kiss his paws

improving skills?

hard to pick a favorite dc schneider album...leonie and joana are both amazing songwriters and brave and experimental. they make albums together and on their own. these songs are crazy and inspiring.

Bleak, throbbing work that lands halfway between coldwave and shoegaze, this Berlin group hits that spot just under the breastbone.
