The movies 04:11
I wear no watch, I don't keep time for "Let's go to the movies" I have no sense of what we should've seen before TV These eyes don't keep They itch and leak Filled with dust, a capitalist crush I'd best relax the skins Ooh, etc. The Internet grown desperate Compressing one weird tip until the mind decays And seeing things without meaning things can lead you to stray Into the one place you can't afford i.e. to grow more bored Rent by the dark features Rent by the dark features
2.
Oh, time to pack it in Dispassion Wear your socks out thin Oh man, could I simply be A susurrus of waves The wind through paper leaves? Or I could always be the extra person Oh, whoa, no--it can't be youth Dispassion Always wore out you Don't doubt that it can never be A susurrus of waves Of paper memory Or I could always be I must always be
3.
Old dust 02:50
Freaks of the long form, back in line Or show thyself How to desert friends in a pinch Leak like a nosebleed in the clinch Holding the door for too long Feeling the sink when the moment's on Eyes that sweat old dust Folding my hands underground Peal in my ears on Long Island Sound The waves that wet old dust Burnt is your suntan, hang a towel Or know thyself A wrinkle of New Age in the wild Hung like a nosebleed on a child Hoping for change on a tear Proving me (sic) I can't take you anywhere Mouths that spit old dust You wretched wreck, sick and spent Just gearing up for more punishment The teeth that bit old dust

Solid watch 02:07
This package I will deliver Says your job is gone Nothing personal But rest assured We get the whole idea of people Now I feel alarmed Someone like me is crying out in pain Are there other voices That I don't even hear? What do they say? What are the things they say? What package did they take?
5.
Here's the trick explained: Everything's been worth my weight In blood Stoke your vanity press And hammer on My wayward son Take it seriously though it's not serious So, OK: you're lonely With an average face You got a report that's due on space Some awkward fingers Some awkward clothes Where you cannot wander, I suppose Do you wish you never tried to live a life without regret? This dynasty's an outage Don't pay attention to it yet Not 'till you're growing dark And sort of desperately mature You're a special-but-not-only You're a treatment but no cure

The shrift 02:26
Things getting wrecked at the rectory Sincerely, Junior High My hand glanced against your thigh Let me dub this tape for thee At incredible speed She's got the hooks that bleed I'm cutting loose into subdivisions I cleanly split my screen A couple miles 'till you smell chlorine If these walls could talk you know Doesn't mean they'd wanna Think we could use some drama
9.
In these Greek ruins of a parking deck I can trust myself to drive But cannot trust myself to shave Don't take our meaning, smarts-for-brains Hey speed demons on the highway: Stop rolling by at demon speed Oh there they go Was it worth the note? When minutes become dollars, who's to show The fade into exaggerated pose In our galaxy's central bulge With honest secrets to divulge?
10.
We were convinced by confidence (Not an argument) I'm sure it's true And once we believe, bleed us through But you're telling me It must be 'Cause, like, otherwise You'd share some incommunicable insight Just close our eyes We're snow on television The noise of bygone days Keep moving out Until the closest things sprawl 15 miles away You keep your brick-thick houses Feeling free to throw your stones But you'd best not step outside And you'll never walk alone We're little people giving ourselves a hand 'Cause no one else here, friend...

Go ahead on 01:08
When the lights change we're enough alike (you can assume) to wanna move forward soon, so let's try this: go ahead on and just lift the brake, pay attention to the car ahead, trust it'll do the same as you. Should those brake lights end up looming closer or even fire, just trust the data that are stating: hang back a while.

Tw1st'n'pl0t 02:11
There must not be a will For there clearly is no way To a victory conveyed without a surfeit of bright hate A call for volunteers To take one on the chin A shaving razor wet with faulty sheen

The moves 03:05
That dig at honesty I need to speak my piece But wanna run my mouth Singing about what we already know And waiting to strike when the iron's cold When they grow taciturn (The chiefs of the New Concern) I clear my throat to speak But Chairmen Leek won't yield the floor With the elegant hate of a conquistador He sports the moves of America moving in There's your hit That'll I'll see when I believe in it I lost my hearing the instant the judge tossed the case Oh, wait--I'm thinking of '08 Until you anthemed up and gave us your worst take Down in the South Turned at the mouth Ooh, etc. Hers are the moves of America moving on

about

Le Weekend Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Le Weekend is a progressive-minded, skewed-pop-leaning, hyphen-employing rock band from Chapel Hill NC, est. 2006. It faithfully and exuberantly generates the sound of itself playing Le Weekend music. It knows a little about a lot of things, and something about the value in hiding and showing. The rest it kind of fakes, but you could totally have fun with it. ... more
