vague and troubled songs about tara markov. cw for themes of sexual abuse and trauma


01; wet blanket - metric

falling for the creep, the body leech, here he comes
vicious hypnosis, clenched fist saying it's wrong
to want more than a folk song
underneath the shaker knit, he's a brick wall
she keep falling for the trick, vegetarian sing-along
give a little kick with your fine thigh-high

do-do-do, we're on to you
tearing her down, talking her down under your breath
making a mess
see, she is happy you wanna break it

02; half dome - aye nako

when your chest starts to
starts to get real tight
remember the good things
breathe in the belly
remember santa cruz
remember yosemite
before the tempest came
destroyed everything
destroyed everything
destroyed every

see how everything's so shiny
but with sand intact
you're self relied
there's always a place
for a seminal place of time
i'm not defined
misery sure has a place for me

03; coming in from the cold - the delgados

try for the right kind of life
i only wish that you'd had a chance to decide
have a look around you, there's no one there
how can you call this fair?

04; medicine - the sundays

and it was such a really cold hand
i held as the wind sighed
"i'm not going & how could i lie?"
just be glad there's no way back there

i need another look at before
though heaven knows how i'd ever
make my way back there

though i know it's hopeless
and i realise it's nowhere
hell here on my own

05; your only doll (dora) - laura marling

i fell into the street, poison in my veins
clambered to my feet and into the night again
back to my home, back to my owner
who screams at my tardiness
put his hands to the sky

put his hand on my shirt
hand on my face,
head to the wall
when you've broken your only doll

and what will you do with a girl
if she refuses to be alive?

06; memory and honesty - gregory and the hawk

you were caring, you had honest eyes
you were perfect, the perfect surprise
til your hands crept up my chest
and gave a stronghold on my neck
you said baby it's true, i'm leaving you

07; canary - liz phair

i learn my name
i write with a number two pencil
i work up to my potential
i earn my name
i come when called
i jump when you circle the cherry
i sing like a good canary
i come when called
i come, that's all

send it up on fire
death before dawn
send it up on fire
death before dawn

08; trigger - lady gaga

they never really knew it then
how to do it when
he had her
they never really knew it then
how to do it with
the safety off the trigger
