Eels - End Times

Album review: Eels - End Times (Vagrant/Cooperative)

The soundtrack to a divorce lawyer's waiting room

We like to hope that lawyers specialising in heartbreak and bitter recriminations have Eels ’ eighth studio effort, aka Mark ‘E’ Everett ’s “divorce album”, looping in their waiting rooms. Still brimming with depressing song subjects (‘ Electro-Shock Blues ’ chronicled the death of each of his family members), E tells of talking to birds for lack of company (‘ Little Bird...

Eels - End Times Lyrics

Eels - In My Younger Days Lyrics

In my younger days this wouldn't have been so hard
I would have just shrugged it off but now it's tough
I'm not so rough and I've got a little ways to go
It's not over yet I know but it feels not so far away

More Eels - In My Younger Days Lyrics

Eels - On My Feet Lyrics

I am a man in great pain over great beauty
It's not easy standing on my feet these days
But you know I'm pretty sure that I've been through worse
And I'm sure I can take the hit

Eels - Line in the Dirt, A Lyrics

She locked herself in the bathroom again
So I am pissing in the yard
I have to laugh when I think how far it's gone
But things aren't funny anymore

Eels - Beginning, The Lyrics

She put on her party dress, I put on my jacket
We walked out the door, didn't have nowhere to go
Didn't matter that the night was getting cold
Pulled her close up to me to keep her warm

More Eels - Beginning, The Lyrics

Eels - Gone Man Lyrics

She used to love me but it's over now
That was a good thing that's gone, man, gone
I pass the hours just kicking by
Talk to the dog so I don't head on the life

More Eels - Gone Man Lyrics

Eels - Apple Trees Lyrics

We were on this car trip,
And I was looking at these rows and rows of trees all along the highway.
I don't know what kind of trees, apples or something.
There were just like thousands and thousands of rows of a thousand trees each.

Eels - Little Bird Lyrics

Little bird, hopping along my porch
Know it sounds kinda sad but what's it all for?
Right now you're the only friend I have in the world
And I just can't take how very much, goddamn, I miss that girl

More Eels - Little Bird Lyrics

Eels - Paradise Blues Lyrics

Scary little suicide bomber on her way to paradise
Gonna take herself and me with her
Killing once and killing twice
Well, it's a real hard time singing the paradise blues

More Eels - Paradise Blues Lyrics

Eels - I Need a Mother Lyrics

I need a mother, I'm sorry but it's true
I need a lover, not someone like you
I've been your daddy for too long of a time
Need a little mothering just once in a while

Eels - Mansions of Los Feliz Lyrics

Well, it's a pretty bad place outside this door
I could go out there but I don't see what for
And I'm happy living in the dark on the edge of my mind
And it's nobody else's business

More Eels - Mansions of Los Feliz Lyrics

Eels - End Times Lyrics

Crazy guy with a matted beard
Standing on the corner
Shouting out, end times are near
And nobody noticing

Eels - Nowadays Lyrics

Nowadays I keep to myself
Everybody else can look some other way
Things I say seem to get me in the trouble
That I've been through for too many days

Eels - Unhinged Lyrics

You need help, baby, you've come unhinged
It's clear to everybody, you're on the fringe
Thought I'd stand till I die
But the twinkle in your eye is gone
