It should be easy, like a monkey driving a speedboat

OR like a monkey playing with drumsticks.

Ok, so I find art-housey projects weird sometimes. This, is weird to me. I wish I could be all, YEAH! I love this stuff! But, I find it kinda creepy. Art provokes and at least I get that (like it or not). What I'm saying is that I don't really care for the video/stage production for the song.

What I actually DO like though, is the song itself. I heard the live version when it first hit the stores and grabbed it off of iTunes not too long after. So, enjoy the song (whether you watch the video or not). I believe I heard this sometime in 2007 (from the Live DVD package), so it's been out for a while. My post is late.



Marble House by The Knife


I cut your nails and comb your hair
I carry you down the stairs
I wanted to see right through from the other side
I wanted to walk a trail with no end in sight

The moment we believe that we have never met
Another kind of love it's easy to forget
When we are all alone then we do both agree
We have a thing in common this was meant to be

You close my eyes and soothe my ears
You heal my wounds and dry my tears
On the inside of this marble house I grow
And the seeds I sow will grow up prisoners too

The moment we believe that we have never met
Another kind of love it's easy to forget
When we are all alone then we do both agree
We have a thing in common this was meant to be

Now where's your shoulder
What is it's name
What's your scent
Say it again
If it goes faster can you still follow me
It must be safe when it's on TV

I raise my hands to heaven of curiosity
I don't know what to ask for
What has it got for me?
The others say we're hiding
It's as forward as can be
Some things I do for money
Some things I do for free
