Menomena - “Rotten Hell”
Well it’s high time we stepped outside
drop the gloves and settle this like a man
Well we might stomp and hem and haw
we might not fight but we won’t walk away
no we won’t walk awayWading through this mess together
hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder
Some may stumble, some may fall behind
Some may stumble, some may fall behind.

Menomena - “Sleeping Beauty”
when everyone’s sleeping through the night
little and for my hands
hotel bathroom
off the deep end
there’s a light on
sleeping beauty
share your wisdom
keep the soak in with a towel
stand back
recollection
will betray us
sleeping beauty
write a memoir
eye through your see
make me honest, should have wrote see
stand back
(when everyone’s sleeping through the night)
I’m beginning to think Menomena might be one of my favorite bands. Seeing as how it’s all I’ve been listening to the past few days.

Menomena - “Dirty Cartoons”
go home, I’d like to
stumble to bed and lay beside you
until we’re even or romantically bored,
whichever comes first
go home, I’m trying
but I’ve been misled by dirty cartoons
you’ll keep me honest for old time’s sake
I’m begging of you, go home, go home
(I’d like to) go home
I’ve mined the graveyard of unpublished poems
you should be so lucky
considers the meaning and shrug it right off
you’ll only encourage me
(I’d like to) go home
I’ve had a combination of like 5 Menomena songs stuck in my head the past few days. Not complaining, mind you.

Well we might stomp and hem and haw
we might not fight but we won’t walk away
no we won’t walk awayWading through this mess together
hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder
Some may stumble, some may fall behind…

Menomena - “Wet and Rusting (Loaf: A Deli Tea Version)”
I made you a present, you’ll never expect it
And when you unravel the secret will travel
It’s hard to take risks with a pessimist
I hope that this shaking will help us awaken
Separated by skin til we let ourselves in
It’s hard to take risks with a pessimist
It’s hard to take risks
I dont think I’ll tire of playing with fire
I hope one will burn me, I know you’ll desert me
(This is the closest I’ve come to touching you the way I want)
The hope can be painful, I’ll try to be faithful
(It’s hard to take risks)
