Household Items

by Vudu Sister

/
  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    it's probably no secret by now that the reason "A Farmer's Life" is so long because not only is the song itself really long BUT, also, there is a hilarious hidden track called "The Hangman" after a short, subsequent wait in silence. This goofy barn-romper was recorded after imbibing a copious supply of various drugs with some very special friends of ours from the Columbus Theatre. Enjoy!

Revival 03:39
I heard you’re gonna die Heading to the afterlife Can’t keep your precious folks alive I heard you lost a leg Gonna be an amputee Can’t keep your precious parts intact You’re not a loner You’re just alone A life you can indulge No one can pay for Must be a mother’s gift To kill unwanted kids I need a wreckless matriarch She’s not too heavy Just throw her over A life you can ignore No one can save her I know you don’t believe Kinda hard come after three But I’ve seen the faith it takes to lie

Kid Heroine 02:11
Mother, mother haven’t you called? Like no other heaven you saw Can’t stay at home and can’t stay at school Can’t get along Can’t get a job I believe in medicine I believe in killing time Take me back and place me where I was found Used to be somebody’s nightmare Couldn’t feel that good in the day Can’t let it go Let it all sink in Can’t be the one Won’t be your friend I believe in medicine Not the same as killing time Take me back and put me where I was found Mother, mother haven’t you called? I need to feel a deep withdrawal Can’t let it go Let it all sink in He’s not a star He’s a setting sun

Give him a shovel Give him directions His black hands aren't too big for digging Your heart is not too big for the job Nobody cares when John is crying Nobody cares what they're feeding Johnny They won't know if they feed him nothing Nobody is safe when the State is listneing in... Give him a shave Give him a letter Make examples the others can't follow Clean white page, give him another But depart! before he has caught on... Give him a shovel Give him directions His black hands aren't too big for digging Your heart is not too big for the job

Loverboy 05:51
Loverboy Can't you see the blood on her knees? Can't you see what you've done to me Evernight? Evernight, I'm leaving Waking up with the dogs Gotta run from these ugly feelings Breaks my heart, breaks my little finger Have a broken toy I got a gun and a safe reaction Loverboy Lovergirl don't even have a little choice just a violent attachment --- Schoolboy Cruel kid with a crush she teases Waking up in the yard Gotta run from the burnt out classroom Take my time and wash my hands in boiling water I won't do it again... I said "sorry", I heard you the first time Mommy's boy Such a bratty boy I can see through the walls And I can fly as high as he can too...

Got No Time 01:49
I got no time to save a million I got no time to wait for you I got no time to find the Devil And I got no time to kill I got no time for disappointment I got no time to waste on youth I got no time to save myself and everything I'd lose Today ain't a day for stealing Today ain't a day to start lying Today is a day for weeping I'm surrounded by the wounded I'm faced with certainty I just had my last supper with condemned company I got not time

Buffalo, NY 03:34
I’d travel miles from here I’d travel miles of dead-end road To meet you on those city streets Has the Buffalo winter finally got you down? Everyone’s ugly in my home town The girls of the night beg for abuse I feel that useless feeling And the yearning I know when I can’t have a taste I can see Niagra Falls from here I don’t want to hear about Buffalo now… Violent winds are blowing in It’s a massacre to feel a breeze The only thing that’s real to me Is the soothing sound of somebody breaking down Danger on the road No one talks to me ‘cause I’m strange enough I know I shouldn’t stay here It won’t do me no good cause I swear I can See Niagra Falls from here And I don’t wanna hear about Buffalo now…

Daisies 02:56
Stray dogs are hollering They've come to dig the garden The strangest comedies Are ones I have not forgotten Keep pushing daisies and I'll keep my silence Gotta think of tales to tell today She walks on wooden steps Knows how to fake the rest Come on and let me see Let me see those working hands She knows how to trick me as I keep on guessing Some things I should never ever say Gotta think of something wrong Ditching all my dirty clothes Going where nobody is going to stay I'll run with poverty I'll run with open eyes When all the light gets in I'll move across the blackest room With northern lights in as I'm advancing Gotta think of tales to tell today...
8.
Sober Driver 02:31
A great distraction Heart attack Got a tingle in my finger coming from my back Oh my god! We were wrong Nobody's gotta know that you felt so strong Another sober driver heading home... It's a big surprise when somebody dies There ain't nothing you can say to bring them back I understand you're an older man Got another thing coming and it's not your plan She's at peace now He's at peace now We're at peace now

Killing Joke 03:06
About the courage to do when all the fingers are pointing at you raising all curtains so certainly some prize what's a boy to do? Read your book How To do you do? Only arrives to be the break from dawn Only one size and it fits like a glove It figures I can feel it, it's stuck on my face Slow suicide All my circus friends gave me a name But I've got a home Guess they figured I'd stay Only arrives to be the break from dawn Only one size and it fits like a glove I'm only alive so I can break my mold Who can decide what it says on the door? Only arrive to be the break from dawn Who can decide? Who can decide?

Sleeping I’m sleeping Makeshift meadow Unkempt pillow Seeing pool Saw all my dreams Green and yellow Green and yellow A farmer’s life A farmer’s trial Live like druids Saw right through it A farmer’s life My heart was tried Live like druids Saw right through it Time has to die for a change To give an afterlife a chance

about

Household Items was recorded by Ben Knox Miller at the Columbus Theatre in Providence, RI during the autumn of 2012. It is the debut release of the Columbus Recording Company.

"Household Items" represents a complete contrast to The Sister's debut, "Bastard Children", with alt-rock and punk flavor carried out by a consistent rock band lineup.
