The National
Boxer
Matt Berninger’s voice sounds like regret – deep and rich and heavy with worldly wisdom, but sharp with the bitter twang that, somewhere, life did not go to plan. Sucks for him but, trust us, it’s a good thing. Here’s why: his band, The National, are a bunch of former web designers from Brooklyn, and judging by the shimmering guitars that dominate ‘Boxer’, they really like the music...

The National - The National Lyrics
The National - Son Lyrics
And if you follow me son
The window wrap around you
Carry from the ground
You will never be alone
The National - Cold Girl Fever Lyrics
Bottle eyes, glassy blue
I watch the rain come out of you
Sky is white with the flu
I'm terrified of losing you
The National - Anna Freud Lyrics
Everyone is watching
But nobody is watching for you
I don't wanna turn it on
It only makes me sad for you
The National - John's Star Lyrics
I wanted to show you John's star
And lay down with you in strawberry fields.
You said, "you're gonna lay down here;
You're gonna lay down alone."
The National - Beautiful Head Lyrics
You're walking taller than you should
The air is thin around your beautiful head
You're saying things with your mouth to me
That I don't recognize
The National - American Mary Lyrics
Give my jewels to the army, my silverware and jeans
Give my love to your family; tell them anything.
Give yourself to anyone; give yourself away
Don't be a nightingale for anyone's space to fill.
The National - Pay For Me Lyrics
I thought I'd come to you
And your long lazy scene
Instate direction, finger on a magazine.
I'd call you when I need you
The National - The Perfect Song Lyrics
Ten years older than I was
What I brought you down to see,
What I thought would make you fall in love
The National - Watching You Well Lyrics
You stand now, on yourself
A little moon is coming in the room.
You stand there still
Like you were in the arms of everyone you ever wanted.
The National - 29 Years Lyrics
Could you tell the enchantment I said goodbye
I met a girl called disillusionment
Could you tell her I made the headlines
This boy drawed wings on everything
The National - Bitters & Absolut Lyrics
Sweetie, you don't look so good
Your bottom lip is bleeding.
I cut it on your collarbone
Go on, go back to sleep.
The National - Theory Of The Crows Lyrics
Where crybabies cry
In the united states
Bright white on both sides
Like a plate
