lyrics
I travel without a ticket
I want to get caught
I want to be exposed
I want to be punished for what I’ve done
At this time of year there’s no difference
Between the bus the tram and the metro
It’s all draped in darkness
Now anyway
When I said that it was life changing,
I don’t think that I really understood what it meant
You said you knew that I wanted you
The moment I walked into that room
You showed me your bruises
But I didn’t show you mine
Last night I felt like
Like a great musician
But I also felt
Like a horrible person
And I don’t understand how all these other people
Have got everything figured out
They work so hard, and they do so well
And I admire them
When I said that it was life changing,
I don’t think that I fully understood what it meant
What if I’ll never get that feeling
Of peace and contentment again
You showed me your bruises
But I didn’t show you mine
I want to get caught
I want to be exposed
I want to be punished for what I’ve done
At this time of year there’s no difference
Between the bus the tram and the metro
It’s all draped in darkness
Now anyway
When I said that it was life changing,
I don’t think that I really understood what it meant
You said you knew that I wanted you
The moment I walked into that room
You showed me your bruises
But I didn’t show you mine
Last night I felt like
Like a great musician
But I also felt
Like a horrible person
And I don’t understand how all these other people
Have got everything figured out
They work so hard, and they do so well
And I admire them
When I said that it was life changing,
I don’t think that I fully understood what it meant
What if I’ll never get that feeling
Of peace and contentment again
You showed me your bruises
But I didn’t show you mine

supported by 4 fans who also own “Bruises”
The name of this album perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Elizabeth's musical output from the Darlings to Allo Darlin' to these precious songs: an unyielding optimism that is never naive, and by being so, becomes wildly contagious. Some music tells you that "everything will be ok", but her music actually makes you believe it, even when the lyrics hint at doubt.
