Pacific Coast Highway

Back to the West
Where everyone’s young
we’ll have nothing to do but get high and ride into the sun
I’ve been away so long
swallowing coal and dung
spitting out useless things to keep
but when I’m asleep
and dreaming so deep
It takes me back
Back their ways
keeping everything light
Just don’t make it safe I’m ready to die
I’m lighting a fire and I’m calling it destiny
There isn’t a right and there isn’t a wrong way for me
I’m finding my way back
Pacific coast highway is my way home
Where is the bed
The bed I once owned
filthy and red
beaten and torn
apart of my seams
I’m ready to fly
I’m one with the world I’m one as I die
woe woe woe is me
Pacific coast highway’s my way home

Move Away Towns
03:52
|

Come and see what we can do for each other
Move from town to town and soon we’ll discover
What we’ll give and what we’ll take
We can keep going on and on
We’re two of a kind and there is no other
We’ll trick them with bait and take all what they can offer
And for an escape we’ll take a swim in the water
clean ourselves before we say goodbye
I’ll never get tired living this way if I’m living with you
Running from fires until we’re in the clear clear out of view
I want to make sure that you love me as I
I love you
making our way and I don’t care who you might love too
Let’s go to Nevada maybe Summerland North
Lone Mountain Nevada and the desert shore
grifting through the night
The days seem long but we know the places to run
The fires burn strong whenever we’re left on our own
We’ve got something special here something that moves us along
I’ll never be worried with you
We’ve got horses to ride
I’ll never get tired living this way if I’m living with you
Running from fires until we’re in the clear clear out of view
I want to make sure that you love me as I I love you
making our way and I don’t care who you might love too
Let’s go to Nevada maybe Summerland North
Lone Mountain Nevada and the desert shore
grifting through the night

Away Too Soon
03:34
|
|||
I fell asleep and woke up in the wrong broken bed
I looked around and found stains from my own bleeding head
It’s a shame you went away when you did
I don’t care now
I don’t care where I’m going now
I don’t know how but I would be here anyway
I haven’t you to blame
I’m my own mess
Passed out my buttons undone on the wrong train
woke up with cuts on my lip during my loaded dreams
I don’t care now
I don’t know where I’m going now
If I crawl back where I came from
I could look up see the skylight
maybe would try a new kind of high-life
when I get there
I look back all I see is nowhere
Too old to bear and too young to care
I don’t know how but I would be here anyway

Why I Drink
02:17
|
|||
I say we’re in for a long night stay
Drinking us thin ’til we both fade away
I’m fine to never think
Dance until we sink into a dreamy scenic view
Why Why Why can’t I swallow just a bit more
Why Why Why won’t this pain fall back in the floor
I don’t want to die just yet
I keep the shades shut for another sick day
No one can fill this dark hole it just stays and stays
This is why I drink
driving through the mud
It’s all I know how to be
Why Why Why can’t I swallow just a bit more
Why Why Why won’t this pain fall back in the floor
I don’t want to die just yet

Death of Money
03:15
|
|||
We’re driving so fast down the highway
Going down through the dust of the city
Into the shimmer of the urban lights
We’re doing fine got the top down
California wind through your dark hair
Lean back arms high we’ve got no cares
The radio plays everything we want to hear
We’ve got everything but money it won’t slow us down at all
Old joy wanting for nothing
We’ve got nothing
Old joy wanting for nothing but good weather
But everything feels so unbridled and flowing
We’ll never slow down
We’re on a winning streak we’ll work it some way
We’ve everything between us
Do it my way and they won’t even know
We’ll have to hide away until we’re ready to go
I feel like something’s going to happen and it’s going to be gold
We’re never going to get old
Old joy wanting for nothing
We’ve got nothing
Old joy wanting for nothing but good weather
But everything feels so unbridled and flowing
We’ll never slow down
We’re on a winning streak we’ll work it some way
We’ve everything between us

My Darling
02:25
|
|||
I know you well
I’ve got plenty to tell
A reminder of all you’ll regret
I enjoy your pain
I am no good saint
I will throw you out into the cold wet bank
My darling you’re a liar about everything
My darling don’t think I won’t take back my ring
Your face feels cold and it’s white as the snow
That falls on your lashes so sweet
I’ll leave you here in the thicket in despair moaning with the wind
My darling take me back to the house where I live
My darling don’t leave me alone in this ditch
I enjoy your pain as I take back my ring
and watch the final cloud of breath

God of Gamblers
03:44
|
|||
Tell me if I like it
You’ve got a way of changing my own mind
And then I say fuck it
I’m just confused just to think for myself now
I know what you want
From all of us here we’re making you feel good
It’s all made up
It’s just made up
It’s just a thing to believe in
We’re always looking up at you
You make us feel we know things too
We want to be as close to you in every way
We want to be as close to you in every way
We lay down as prey
You poetry is true enough
We’re losing in your universe
I don’t mind telling you what’s going on
Still I’m locked in everything else is gone
I don’t belong but I’m not strong
To stop and think where to go and how
We’re always looking up at you
You make us feel we know things too
We want to be as close to you in every way
I’d like to be outside and out of view
Enlightened and infused with all you say and do
And I don’t care what’s false or true
I’m chasing some good
You poetry is true enough
We’re losing in your universe

Isolation View
02:45
|
|||
Stick the needle pull the crimson in
Push the plunger see who wins this round
And if you do lie back and you will spin
The weather wraps you safe from all the others
Outside you walk alone on top of the water
Your isolation tank is like a bubble
You touch and speak as if you were double
You look down on yourself the view is skewed and lovely
My isolated view
My isolated view right here

Blue as Blue
04:03
|
|||
You come around with a gun
Blue as blue coldest eyes as tears run free
you’ve got a gift you hand to me
Don’t don’t keep it all just to yourself
don’t you know I’m just like you
It’s you and me Just you and me
Why do we pull the trigger to each other’s chest
Soon to be dead as we watch our last breath
You ask what’s wrong
There’s nothing wrong that we don’t know
It’s all the same round and round so very wrong
Don’t don’t keep it all just to yourself
don’t you know I’m just like you
it’s you and me Just you and me
I’m with the plan
Let’s take the shot it’s time we go
Onto the floor straight through the moon just don’t let go
Just like the dream we’ll go away
Just you and me if you keep close to me
Then this is how we go
beyond what we can know
Sometimes love just goes this way
A passing thought
A love that’s lost
Sometimes love just goes this way
A passing thought
A love that’s lost

Jolie Laide Los Angeles, California
Arising from the collaboration of Nina Nastasia and Jeff MacLeod, Jolie Laide’s debut album features songs that seem rooted in place, evoking classic California ballads, desert dirges and a cinematic sound that could easily be pulled from the score of a Leone or Lynch film. ... more
