Nicest song I've heard for awhile



Click this link to the band Midlake http://www.myspace.com/midlake and then click the song Roscoe in the music player thingy. I thought it was a new song by Radiohead.

Roscoe

Stonecutters made them from stones
Chosen specially
For you and I
Who will live inside

The mountaineers
Gathered tender piled high
In which to take along.
Driving many miles
Knowing they'd get here.

When they got here, all exhausted
On the roof leaks, they got started
And now when the rain comes
We can be thankful

Ooh aah ooh
When the mountaineers
Saw that everything fit
They were glad
And so they took off

Thought we were devoid
A change or two
Around this place

When they get back, they're all mixed up with no one to stay with

The village used to be
All one really needs
That's filled with hundreds and hundreds of chemicals
That mostly surround you
You wish to flee but it's not like you
So listen to me
Listen to me

Oh, oh and when the morning comes,
We will step outside
We will not find
Another man inside
We like the newness, the newness of all
That has grown in our garden
Soaking for so long

Whenever I was a child
I wondered,
What if my name had changed
Into something more productive
Like: Roscoe
Been born in 1891
Waiting with my Aunt Rosaline

Thought we were devoid
A change or two
Around this place

When they get back, they're all mixed up with no one to stay with

1891
They roamed around their forest
They made their house from cedars
They made their house from stone

Oh, they're a little like you
And they're a little like me
We are falling deep

Thought we were devoid
A change or two
Around this place
(This place)
(This place)

When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with
(When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with)
