Sit down and fire away
I know it's tricky when you're feeling low
When you feel like your flavour has gone the way
Of a pre-shelled pistachio
I know you're weighed down
And fed up with your heavy boots
Laced with melancholy notions all your own
I do — like sugar — tend toward the brittle and sticky when spun
And I know my demeanour can go the way
Of a photo left out in the sun
And I try to keep myself in lilies and flax seeds
Oh what a folly, fooling just yourself
Sit down and smoke away
I wouldn't knock it till you're in them shoes
I watch as our subtlety blows away
As a blush it gives way to a bruise
But seemly we'd freely make the trade off
A dry rot to take the weight off
And swap the boots for red shoes

Too Claudine Longet for me (The Party w/Peter Sellers) circa half a C ago.

Cute and waifish, but without much substance. I'm leaving myself open to it for repeated plays and willing to reevaluate my opinion.

Really glad to see Lisa Hannigan has made her RP debut. Sure, her stuff might not be completely earth-shattering but it's still really solid stuff.
Sounds like any other breathy singer. Not bad but not unique either.
I''m sleeping 
so excited to hear her here! she played the majority of this album at a sweet gig in portland a few years ago. i've been hooked on her since. really excited to hear a new album is on its way too. she is a super talented musician and gracious performer. glad she's found success without whats-his-name.

Such a gorgeous album! Can't wait for her second one later this year.
