“…if i’m to be the fool, then so it be…”

(“Kiss” – Scout Niblett ft. Bonnie “Prince” Billy)

i’ve taken a huge admiration to Scout Niblett recently (esp. her duets). this is why.

there’s just something about her voice and the way she almost fights herself to sing what she wants to (or needs to) get out there.

it’s been raining an awful lot as of late. i just wish it could be sunny and 75 degrees all the time.

EDIT

i couldn’t find the lyrics ANYWHERE online, so i transcribed them myself.

“Kiss” – Scout Niblett ft. Bonnie “Prince” Billy

your kiss coulda’ killed me
if it were not for the rain.
your kiss could have killed me, baby,
if it were not for rain.
and i had
a feeling it was comin’ on,
and i felt it comin’ in
for so long.
if i’m to be the fool,
then so it be.
this fool can die now
with a heart that’s so old.
i let it come in for so long

and darling, take my hand
and lead me through the door.
let’s kidnap each other
and start singing our song
’cause my heart is a-charged now;
oh, it’s dancing in my chest
and i fly and i’d walk out
from the spell in that kiss

’cause it coulda’ killed me,
it coulda’ killed me were it not for the rain.
oh, darling, let me dream
’cause somewhere in me
i have been waiting
so patiently
for you, you, you
so don’t you
break- don’t break my dream,
don’t break my dream.

let the rain exalt us
as the night draws in;
winds howl around us
as we begin.
what a way to start a fire,
what a way to break it in!
your kiss could have killed me, baby,
if it were not for rain
and i had
a feeling it was comin’ on
and i felt it comin’ in
for so long.

and it coulda’-
it coulda’ killed me,
it coulda’ killed me
were it not for the rain.
