Swing swing-a-ling swing-a-ling swing a ling
are you down? Where are you now?
hiding in the grass in the moss colours so green
just you and me, staring at them trees
I don’t need anything else on this warm sunny day
but my bike, your blue sweater, and you
Riding around this whole town
good friends we will see, walking down the street.
Come get your fill if you will,
Why did you lick my spoon?
Lets chase the afternoon,
Or go back to staring at them trees...
I don’t need anything else on this warm sunny day,
but my bike, your blue sweater, and you.
Got a little scared when I was all by myself
But you were right by my side
The moment I started to cry...
I don’t need anything else on this warm sunny day
but my bike, your blue sweater and you, and you, and you
Swing swing-a-ling swing-a-ling swing a ling
are you down?
Where are you now?

City Streets

Walking down these city streets I can taste blood in my mouth
Split my lip again, thinking about you
Wanna call you wanna scream out loud that
I miss you, I miss you, my god I miss you
But it seems to me that I mislead you
A girl can dream of a perfect life
I’m sorry for what I said to you
But I was doing all the right things just at the wrong time,
yes I keep doing all the right things just at the wrong time
Because I know that you will never look at me the way you look at her
And that you will never smile at me the way you smile at her
And that my hand will never fit in your like hers did with you but I’ll try oh my god I will try, I will try oh my god I will try
Walking down these city streets I can taste gin in my mouth,
got drunk again, thinking bout you
Wanna call you wanna scream out loud that I miss you
I miss you, oh my god I miss you
But it seems to me that I mislead you
A girl can dream of a perfect life
I’m sorry for what I’ve done to you
But I was doing all the right things just at the wrong time,
yes I keep doing all the right things just at the wrong time
Because I know that you will never look at me the way you look at her
And that you will never smile at me the way you smile at her
And that my hand will never fit in your like hers did with you but I’ll try oh my god I will try, I will try oh my god I will try, I will try oh my god I will try
But maybe one day you will look at me the way you look at her
And maybe one day you will smile at me the way you smile at her
And maybe one day you will take my hand like you took hers so I’ll try oh my god I will try, I will try oh my god I will try, I will try oh my god, why do I try?

Drip drop, drip drop, when will this rain ever stop?
Cuz I’m goin, goin insane
One two, three four, passing around on the kitchen floor
Cuz I’m goin, going insane
Won’t somebody please tell that sun to come back again?
Wont somebody please tell that sun to come back again
Drip drop, drip drop, when will these tears ever stop
Cuz I’m goin, goin insane
One two, three four, curled up in a ball on the kitchen floor
Cuz I’m goin, goin insane
Won’t somebody please tell my baby to come back again
Wont somebody please tell my baby to come back again
Drop drip, drip drop, when will this pain ever stop
Cuz I’m goin, goin insane
One two, three four, don’t wanna think about you anymore
Cuz I’m goin, goin insane
Won’t somebody please help me to forget again
Won’t somebody please help me to forget again
Won’t somebody please, help me to forget again
Drip drop, drip drop, when will this rain ever stop?
Cuz I’m goin, goin insane...

Close Your Eyes

Say you love me, and I’ll always be true
Say you need me, and stand by you
Close your eyes your eyes and kiss me,
and I’ll be right standing next to you
darling if you’re crying, I’ll wipe your tears
darling if your scared, tell me all your fears
close your eyes and kiss me,
and be right here standing next to you
if you think for one minute that my love will go away
if you think for one minute that my love might go a stray
close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes
close your eyes and kiss me, and I’ll be right here standing next to you
cause baby I love you, so ima always be true
cause baby I need you, so ima stand by you
close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes
close your eyes and kiss me
and I’ll be right here, standing next to you.

Leah Barley Vancouver, British Columbia
Bring Out Your Dead almost perfectly balances Barley’s light-and-shade approach to songwriting, from the life-affirming
first single “Mountains” and the rousing boot stompers “I Wish” and “Drinkin’” to the chill-inducing title track and its spiritual cousin “Rise.”
It brilliantly serve as Leah Barley’s calling card, and formally mark the arrival of a vital new voice in Canadian roots music.
