lyrics

Oh love, I fear the end now
You know the whole things
Coming down
Yeah we know now

Hey yeah, we had some bad luck
I wish we’d had that
For a place
It was ours any way

Even though we never
Hit the heights,I thought we’d reach
Any way that means nothing to me
I’ll have it for a place

The harbour lights, have left us
Somehow we let them
Slip away
To sea again

The scorecards are unanimous
Just like in
Ali / Norton 3
‘The Black Hercules’

Even though we never
Hit the heights, I thought we’d reach
Any way that means nothing to me

And when you hit those highs boy
Let them know, know you’re alive
Do it like you planned it
You dont understand
You’ re alive, alive, alive
I’ ll have it for a place

Even though we never
Hit the heights, I thought we’d reach
In the end that means nothing, to me
In the end that means nothing, to me
In the end that means nothing, to me
I’ ll have it for a place

IN THE END - IN THE END - IN THE END

Tonight I see myself, I dream

Cousin
by Wilco

supported by 5 fans who also own “For A Place”

I have been out of the Wilco loop for a while now, but this album has pulled me back in. I adore it. Tweedy and co. know how to write gentle, heartfelt songs while adding just the right amount of unusual synth additions. The second half of the record ends INCREDIBLY strongly. If you've been out of Wilco for a while like me, check it out. BobandoCommando

Ode to Joy
by Wilco

supported by 4 fans who also own “For A Place”

Wilco is easily my favorite band right now. 25 years into their career and as relevant today as ever. Love the sparse drums and down tempos of this album. Everyone Hides is a classic sounding Wilco single that just makes me feel great - love the video too. Ryan Evans HTX
