Baby wants a broken heart
Hear you found the lynchpin
To keep it all from falling apart
But you keep on rolling
Yes you keep on rolling
Keep on rolling
You keep on rolling
Better find a way
Better kick it from your big brown eyes
I hear it tightens up
When you fall at the fifteenth try
Like a ship at ocean
Like a ship at ocean
Like a ship at ocean
Like a ship at sea
You spit thick and you cross your heart
But the culvert's all run dry
From keeping shotgun-shy
All arise! Just be mine tonight
So the dollar shop shoppers
Broke the lock and they knocked you down
Better call the coppers
If you need someone to push you around
But you keep on stealing
You keep on stealing
Yes, you keep on stealing
Till there's nothing left to steal
You spit thick and you cross your heart
But the culvert's all run dry
From keeping shotgun-shy
All arise! Just be mine tonight
The Decemberists are an American indie rock band from Portland, Oregon, formed in 2000. The band consists of Colin Meloy (lead vocals, guitar, principal songwriter), Chris Funk (guitar, multi-instrumentalist), Jenny Conlee (piano, keyboards, accordion, backing vocals), Nate Query (bass), and John Moen (drums).
The band has released eight studio albums, to date, with their lyrics often focusing on historical incidents and folklore. Audience participation is a part of their live performances, typically during encores. The band stages whimsical reenactments of sea battles and other centuries-old events, typically of regional interest, or acts out songs with members of the crowd.
In 2011, the track "Down by the Water" from their album, The King Is Dead, was nominated for Best Rock Song at the 54th Grammy Awards.
