Blogovision 2016/My top-20 albums of the year - no.08: The Hidden Cameras - Home On Native Land

I burned everything I own, left it in a pile smoldering

Took about on foot out into the wood like an animal

Hap’d upon a tree, slept there underneath the birds and planes

Woke up to find that I was alone

Took a man’s ride with an eagle eye I was careless

Rolling down the road, in from the cold I was tripping

He took me to his lair said we should be married with a grin

I refuse to make amends

Refuse to wallow anymore

Lyrics from The Day I Left Home by The Hidden Cameras from their album Home On Native Land

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.06: John Grant - Grey Tickles, Black Pressure

The paranoia, the uncertainty
The stupid knowing way they're grinning when they look at me
They say it's me, how do they know
My mind and body have betrayed me and it shows
My brain reboots each time the sun begins to shine
And if I didn't know better then I'd swear to you that it's not mine
I can't control my face, I can't avoid that furrowed brow
Would've thought they'd send someone right over to show me how

Lyrics from Geraldine by John Grant, from the album Grey Tickles, Black Pressure
