Count'Dracula This album is underrated! Great text, good instrumental. Coastline really achieves their main goal to make you feel warm inside when you listen to their music. Would definitely recommend. Favorite track: III. Ratatatat.

Playing on the playground between naps Your cubby partner's over there An older boy just pulled her hair Without a thought you take him to the grass You bloody adolescent fists When mom found out she sure was pissed They took you out of school for a week Your knuckles had begun to swell You made your bruises show-n-tell (Chorus.) Child of man See how much you've grown See just where you stand Child of man Sound of mind See how strong you are See how you shape the land Child of man High school sophomore year you call your dad Your crying in the driver's seat you didn't see him in the street The damage to the car is pretty bad But you didn't hit that little boy The telephone pole you destroyed Dad picks you up and drops you in his truck The silent somber driving home Dad lets you know you're not alone (Chorus.) Child of man See how much you've grown See just where you stand Child of man Sound of mind See how strong you are See how you shape the land Child of man His mother has your hand tight in her grasp She's dressed in an informal gown A flock of small hair starts to crown The nurse beside you sets you to the task To cut the chord that binds him still From all the noises you distill The child of man who babbles in your breast His warm and most distinctive cry Those eager cerulean eyes (Chorus.) Child of man You'll see how much you grow You'll know just where you stand Child of man Sound of mind You'll see how strong you are And you will shape the land Child of man

What is it you're looking for my blue-eyed-one With your hand open flat shielding your face from the sun There's nothing through that glass for you to see The sky's opened vasty and the clouds have long left The air is blowing lowly and your pale form's bereft There's no one in the car but you and me (Chorus.) The desert sun was setting and I couldn't read the time Sweet Lorraline, You called me from the catacombs to clear my cluttered mine Sweet love of mine I reached into the glovebox for a roadmap of some kind Keeper of time And slowly took my journey to the sea Sweet Lorraline I dream of you nightly but you sweep me aside With your menacing gaze, your unshakable pride And your hair reflecting light just like the sea My shirt is hung loosely all the buttons are slack You've turned toward the window all I see is your back I know that you're the only one for me (Chorus.) The desert sun was setting and I couldn't read the time Sweet Lorraline, You called me from the catacombs to clear my cluttered mine Sweet love of mine I reached into the glovebox for a roadmap of some kind Keeper of time And slowly took my journey to the sea Sweet Lorraline Although when we get there, you might not understand That I've driven here for you through this damnable land A memory you have surely proved to be

I. Holiday 02:15
Shopping for sweaters Cold in December Christmas doesn't come here But I'll stay out in the cold So long as you're near Scarfing down cookies Scarf wallet housekeys Checking my coat at the door But I'll be tardy to work If it means seeing you more (Chorus.) And the shopkeepers open their doors And the lights line the houses on streets But I care more for the snow As it falls in sheets Skating on iced ponds Carolers and old songs Watching stuff on TV But I'll watch reindeer play games If you'll watch them with me Lacing my boots up Put on your ear muffs Kissing your frost bitten nose We'll wrestle out in the snow Then take off soaking clothes (Chrous.) And the shopkeepers open their doors And the lights line the houses on streets But I care more for the snow As it falls in sheets

Debra can you tell me something A question I can't solve myself I've waited for our happy ending I don't think being patient helps I'm sick and tired of raging daydreams And fantasies at night But that's alright Yeah that's alright Debra I wake in the morning And roll over upon my bed My lazy ardor aches with yearning And strangulations in my head I'm sick and tired of breakfast headaches This love I fear is trite But that's alright Yeah that's alright (Chorus.) Hey-ey Debra Can you sneak away from him again Hey-ey Debra don't you do this shit to me again Hey-ey Your lies have grown complacent and your manner cold Hey-ey Debra, this shit is getting old Debra do this one thing for me A show of longing and good faith Just meet me in the cemetary Our resolution cannot wait I'm sick and tired of accusations I don't want us to fight But that's alright Yeah that's alright (Chrous) Hey-ey Debra can you sneak away from him again Hey-ey Debra don't you do this shit to me again Hey-ey Your lies have grown complacent and your manner cold Hey-ey Debra, this shit is getting old Debra I can see your phone screen Why do you still do this to me Every single night you steal my heart Then calmly rip it apart Feelings changing with everyday Yet you still won't send me away Debra I am begging you To make this god damn choice (Chorus) Hey-ey Debra can you sneak away from him again Hey-ey Debra don't you do this shit to me again Hey-ey Your lies have grown complacent and your manner cold Hey-ey Dera, this shit is getting old

In sweet september We caught the leaves in our hands We wandered through the fields And there we had our dance Do you remember The smell of fire and freshly falling snow We stood and watched the smokestacks No one but for you and me would know (Chorus.) Pick me off the frozen ground Lover will you hold me down Our secret winter We let the snowflakes melt on our tongues We kissed inside an igloo Lovers on their first and only run January's embers Walkin’ by myself through frozen fields Where does the time go Love is never ended only sealed (Chorus). Pick me off the frozen ground Lover will you hold me down (Bridge) Pack your bags this once my dear Let's get the fuck away from here Just for the day Pack your bags this once my dear Let's get the fuck away from here Just for the day Pack your bags this once my dear Let's get the fuck away from here's Just for the day Pack your bags this once my dear Let's get the fuck away from here Just for the day Pack your bags this once my dear Let's get the fuck away from here Just for the day (Chorus) Pick me off the frozen ground Lover will you hold me down Just for the day.

Walk on pass the brook Bring the firewood You will find me there You will find me there Walk on by the shed Where the tools are kept You will find me there You will find me there Tiptoe through the park Just before it's dark You will find me there You will find me there (Chorus.) Stay the night Talk a while Drift away Alabaster smile Hold me for a while I will keep you near I will keep you near When your windows rock When the wind is rough I will keep you near I will keep you near (Chorus.) Stay the night Talk a while Drift away (Bridge.) Wear your wandering heart on my sweater sleeve Take my aching hands and cross this bridge with me Say you'll play your part and I will never leave Don my winter coat or you'll freeze (Chorus.) Stay the night Talk a while Drift away

A yeoman's bow Broken on the curve Lay down upon The castle Kerklee floor And John could hear From far beyond those walls His brother's fear And quiet anguished callscx (Chorus pt i.) Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest Laughing back and forth at what the other'n had to say Reminiscing this'n that'n havin' such a good time Ooh de lally Ooh de lally Golly what a day And so he said I know it to be true He's nearly dead My Robin won't pull through He stood up swift From underneath the tree And ran forthwith To the barred gates of Kerklee (Chorus pt ii.) Robin Hood and Little John running through the forest Jumpin fences dodgin trees and tryna get away Contemplating nothing but escapin barely making it Ooh de lally Ooh de lally Golly what a day Ooh de lally Ooh de lally Golly what a day He hollered loud The wooden gates stood latched He drew his sword And started to the task To break the doors They shrapneled with his swing His voice grew hoarse With Robin fold your wings (Chorus pt iii.) Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest Laughing back and forth at what the other'n had to say Reminiscing this and that'n having such a good time Ooh de lally Ooh de lally Golly what a day Ooh de lally Ooh de lally Golly what a day Ooh de lally Ooh de lally Golly what a day

Darlin Don't listen To the talk of the town When they say they've caught me Sleeping around I don't care for Sadie And I've never touched Jill I don't even look up When they slide me the bill Those bartending women Aren't really my type What I needs a lady Who's good in a fight (Chrous.) Boxing match woman You sleep like a log You kiss like a lady And you fight like a dog So baby, don't worry I ain't quit you yet You got the best right hook From here to Tibet And if'n I left you This'd surely be true You'd knock me clean out of These old leather shoes You'd break me to pieces You'd tear me apart You't take from this old flesh The weight of your heart. (Chorus.) Boxing match woman You sleep like a log You kiss like a lady And you fight like a dog So next time they tell you That I've been a cheat Just give them a stern look And knock out their teeth

II. Ulalume 02:35
Love, Please take my hand And take my coat From off the stand Love, love Love, And wrap up tight It gets real cold This time of night Love, (Chorus.) You know from the start that I've been yours, my Ulalume. I'd give you the stars you're more than worth them, Ulalume. Love, come hither quick And I will do Your favorite trick Love, loved Love, We'll disappear Have not a worry Have not a fear Love, (Chorus.) You know from the start that I've been yours, my Ulalume. I'd give you the stars you're more than worth them, Ulalume. Come, My meadowlark Just be my torchlight Through all this dark Love, love Now, And when we're old Just use my warmth To fight the cold Love, (Chorus.) You know from the start that I've been yours, my Ulalume. I'd give you the stars you're more than worth them, Ulalume. Love, Please take my hand And take my coat From off the stand.

It's trying as hell just to sleep The air in this cabin's too cold I'm freezing to death in my seat And you've bundled up in my coat I'm reaching for you in the dark Your cheeks are pressed flat to the glass You wake up and turn just an inch The sight of your face makes me laugh (Chorus.) Watching you fall on your knees Lean on my arm, darling please We're lying awake on the train You're quieter now than you've been I like your right here next to me The touch of your warmth on my skin (Chorus.) Knowing damn well you would leave Waste my time love if you please

Tristram was a vagabond who wore a funny hat His only friend was misery and a mangy alley cat I saw him at the drug store and that was all of that The vagrant could be dead now A ratatatat Isaeult was a girl who manufactured yoga mats She lived in new york city in a dirty crowded flat She put her hair in all her work a strand for every mnat The last I hear she's barren A ratatatat My roommate's name is Anselm and he owns a baseball bat He practiced with it everyday swatting at the gnats That swarmed around our kitchen and the garbage in the back I stabbed him with a screw driver A ratatatat

Once in a quiet town down by the sea There lived a young carpenter Henrik was he He dreamed of a paradise down by the sea And eden of solitude Down by the sea Chorus: Dream little architect Dream of the sea Dream of your paradise Dream Down in the naval town there was a girl Hair just like firelight Eyes on the world She dreams of a paradise down by the sea An eden of solitude Down by the sea Chorus: Dream little architect Dream of the sea Dream of you paradise Dream Once that they left that town down by the sea The pair came together they Loved blissfully They dreamed of their paradise down by the sea An eden of solitude Down by the sea Chorus: Dream little architects Dream of the sea Dream of you paradise Dream

about

Ulalume is about a lot of things, but most importantly it's about that fuzzy warm feeling you can only get in your belly when the weather is cold, the fire is hot, and the company is warm.

We want our creations to carry beauty, but never at the expense of authenticity. You might come across some hiccups in our singing and playing, they're there because they are intrinsically us.

Recorded on one cold evening, in the presence of friends, in front of a sometimes roaring fire, bursting with that fuzzy feeling we seek to instill with our songs. We hope they bring that touch of winter to your life. We play them to keep warm.
