Dani 02:29
Your green eyes they do it all the time You walk in, oh baby, you walk in And your long hair it chills me to the bone Wish we could call ourselves lovers and build our selves a home Cause you are the queen of my world I watch you from the shoreline my my surfer girl No matter if you're too far away I still consider you mine Send me a message and I'll receive it in time Your green eyes they do it all the time You walk in, oh baby, you walk in And your long hair it chills me to the bone Wish we could call ourselves lovers and build our selves a home I wish you would fly across the sea A fourteen hour flight and you're here with me No matter if you're too far away I still consider you mine Send me a message and I'll receive it in time Dani rides those waves Dani rides those waves Holding your hands like making sand into a pearl My brown haired, green eyed surfer girl Your green eyes they do it all the time You walk in, oh baby, you walk in And your long hair it chills me to the bone Wish we could call ourselves lovers and build our selves a home

Tennis Shoes 04:00
She climbs through the window even though there's a door She looks at me and says she does what she can It was fun makin' out til midnight may I ask if we can do it again I just bought a new pair of tennis shoes You know this mountain is awfully big I heard you got a boyfriend, But I got a show comin' up Would you come watch me sing Would you come watch me sing Pretty little May had a pretty bad day She worked a double shift down at The Well And she's down at the beach she staring out at the fast sea Shes praying for a ten foot swell Musics just a word in my vocab darlin' Hell I say almost everyday I got the love sick, home sick, Sick to my stomach sick blues it aint going away It aint going away Are you ready for the game baby, 'cause ready or not Do you realize that I know that you know that I want what you got Maybe a sunny day is just another way of saying I'm sorry Maybe Im sorry is just another way of saying goodbye Oh oh baby I I I Whoah Are you down to play the game baby, 'cause ready or not Do you realize that I know that you know that I want what you got Maybe a sunny day is just another way of saying I'm sorry Maybe Im sorry is just another way of saying goodbye Oh oh baby I I I Whoah

Sandcastles 02:44
I stumbled in the local cantina My brains searching for an Irish refrain I had two drinks and something went wrong I forgot the song song song song song I forgot the song song song song song Our conversations turning dim as the light So is the image and the drip drop sounds of condensation You're on my my mind But lately it like every other time You say good bye, yeah You say good bye, yeah I hitch hiked out across the desert to see Knee deep in Sandcastles and nothing debris I had two thoughts but the two thoughts they didn't have me Our conversations turning dim as the light So is the image and the drip drop sounds of condensation You're on my my mind But lately it like every other time You say good bye, yeah You say good bye, yeah Arcadia, you're on my way home Arcadia, do you sleep alone Like I said you're on my way I could pick you up and put you back on on your throne Put you back on your throne

We are holding our breath Even though we aint under water yet And we are laying our money down Even though it aint time to bet But its time for bed So go ahead and lay your head Policeman writes us up and drives away as I Stare at a Santa Barabara Sky And we are counting the days Childish wishes in a smokey haze And we are running around Acting our shoe size Looking for the lost and found And its time to dance Sway your naked body under the moonlight's second chance Policeman writes us up and drives away as I Stare at a Santa Barabara Sky We are in trouble for sure Full wine glass in the passenger seat With a window tap, "Hello Officer" And you can bust us at the scene Next day I'm hitchin' a train All the way to where the grass is green And its shame on me I should have balanced it out and switched it for a tree Policeman writes us up and drives away as I Stare at a Santa Barabara Sky

Yesterday seems like a day ago In fact I think that it was And I been thinking so much because Everyone's in love with you Everyone's in love with you Everyone's in love with you That's why you are how you are I took that picture frame off the wall Yeah the one with the crack And I aint taking those words that I said to you back Everyone's in love with you Everyone's in love with you Everyone's in love with you That's why you are how you are Lazy weekend falling down on me But I worked the week before I showed myself to the window watchers Let the key un-un-unlock the door Everyone's in love with you Everyone's in love with you Everyone's in love with you That's why you are how you are Everyone's in love with you Everyone's in love with you Everyone's in love with you That's why you are how you are

Cruisin' down I-5 Out of us three only one of us can drive In Sutherlin, Oregon I'm never ever gonna go back again, cause L.A. is on fire L.A. is on fire L.A. is on fire And life on the highway is the only way I roll Roll into Sacramento, had a beer on Monday We're yellin' out dead actors names in a dance club on St. Patty's day We lit a cigarette of a dragon with no home Who's made of moonshine whiskey sadness and bones, but L.A. is on fire L.A. is on fire L.A. is on fire And life on the highway is the only way I roll Talks of blondes, surfer songs Senators clothes carbonated water and some ping pong You bought a brand new shirt with colors that can glow We're gonna be late to our own show L.A. is on fire L.A. is on fire L.A. is on fire And life on the highway is the only way I roll And now you're driving away Some where between Hollywood and DeLongpre And now you're driving away Some where between Hollywood and DeLongpre And now you're driving away Some where between Hollywood and DeLongpre And now you're driving away Some where between Hollywood and DeLongpre Hollywood and DeLongpre

Hand In Hand 03:50
Is there anything colder than winter in Chicago Is there anything hotter than Mexico Is there anything more optimitistic than a brand new start Well I don't know See all I know is theres nothing warmer than your heart Well there she goes down the boulevard She heading to the market, whoah Well there she goes down the boulevard She puts her hand in back pocket, whoah Gillian carry that cloud away from my rainy day I'll believe in your hopes and your dreams if you just wrestle my blues away Is there anything groovier than the Rolling Stones Is there anything better than a happy home And is kissing you always the best part Well I dont know And also theres nothing warmer than your heart Well there she goes down the boulevard She flying in a rocket, whoah Well there she goes down the boulevard She puts her hand in back pocket, whoah Gillian carry that cloud away from my rainy day I'll believe in your hopes and your dreams if you just wrestle my blues away We'll be walking hand in hand We'll be walking hand in hand We'll be walking hand in hand We'll be walking hand in hand Hand in hand Hand in hand

about

The Sweet Dominiques Seattle, Washington

Take a handful of the melodic genius of Iron & Wine and Devotchka, coupled with some country finger picking twang, mix it with some solid bass lines and dynamic drum beats. Top it off with simple conversational lyrics and layering about the harder side of love and life in LA and the Washington countryside. What does it taste like? The Seattle band The Sweet Dominiques. In short, a good noise. ... more
