La Maison de Mon Rêve

CocoRosie began in Paris, France and formed by Sierra Casady (Rosie) and Bianca Casady (Coco) in 2003. Sierra and Bianca Casady are North American half-Cherokee sisters. Sierra, the older of the two, was born in Iowa, and Bianca was born in Hawaii. Their mother nicknamed them Rosie and Coco, respectively, from which their musical act takes its name.   In 2003, Bianca was growing restless and decided it was time for a change. Leaving her apartment in Brooklyn to travel the world, she ended up at Sierra's apartment in Paris. 

Am                            F
It was just before the moon hung
Am                     F
Her weary heavy head in
Am                           F
The gallows and the graves of 
Am                    F
The milky milky cradle
Am                                 F
His tears have turned to poppies
Am                      F
A shimmer in the midnight
Am                  F
A flower in the twilight
Am                  F
A flower in the twilight

Chorus:
             Am     C    
And our screaming
             G      Em
Is in his screaming
       Am   C                G        Em
Our screaming in the willow tree.

        Am                    F
They took him to the gallows
     Am                         F
He fought them all the way though
       Am                          F                         
And when they asked us how we knew
     Am      F 
His name
      Am            F
We died just before him
       Am                  F
Our eyes are in the flowers
       Am                    F
Our hands are in the branches
      Am                F
Our voices in the breezes

Chorus:
             Am     C
And our screaming

Is in his screaming

Our screaming in the willow tree

         Am                  F
We're waiting by the willow
       Am             F
Our milky milky cradle
       Am                      F
Our lockets long have rusted
      Am                      F
His picture worn and weathered
       Am               F
Our hair is in the garden
       Am              F
The roses in our toeses
       Am                   F
Our heart are in the blossoms
       Am                  F
Our eyes are in the branches

Chorus x2
             Am     C
And our screaming
             G        Em
Is in his screaming

Candy Land

In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fight

Am             C
Broken sundown fatherless showdown
G                                          Am
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip yeah I suck dick
             C             G
Lose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
Am                  C
River sweep away my memories of
G
Children's things a young mother's love
           C
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
      G
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh
Am              C                  G
A young brother skinny and tall my older walks
                      Am
Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping
C
Flowers in the water,
G
But I'm just his daughter
Am              C
Walking down an icy grave
G
leading to my Schizophrenic father.
Am             C
Weeping willow won't you wallow louder
G
Searching for my father's power


Am
I'm a shake you off though
C
Get up on that horse and
G
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse


Am                 C                  G
He's a black magic wielder some say a witch
                                     Am
Wielded darkness when he was wilein' on his mom's
         C                    G
And born child and he was the bastard that broke
                          Am                     C
Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage
           G
And he was born with the same blue eyes
                            Am            C
Crystal ships dripping with ice, diamonds coruscate
             G
In the night fireworks electric bright
Am                   C
And now he's got his own two sons
      G
Tried to hide his tears in a world of fun
    Am                C
But loveless bedrooms filled with doom
      G
Bring silent heartache July to June
Am         C
Swoon over new young hot flame
G
Mourn the memories later

Laugh now alligator



Am      C
Oh in a dream
   G
My father came to me
    Am      C              G
And made me swear that I'd keep what sacred to me
       Am        C
And if I get the choice
   G
To live in his name
  Am                      C
I pray my way through the Rain
        G
Singing Oh happy day



Am                        C
I don't mean to close the door
            G
But for the record my heart is sore
Am                       C
You blew through me like bullet holes
     G
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul

Am                     C
You left me broke down beggin' for change
       G
Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged
Am                       C
He had your hands and my father's face
G
Another western vampire different time same place
Am                C
I had dreams that brings me sadness
G
Pain much deep that a river
            Am                          C
Sorrow flow through me in tiny waves of shivers
G
Corny movies make me reminisce
              Am           C
Break me down easy on this generic love shit
      G
First kiss frog and princess

Am
I'm a shake you off though
C
Get up on that horse and
G
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse 

Am
I'm a shake you off though
C
Get up on that horse and
G
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

Am
I'm a shake you off though
C
Get up on that horse and
G
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

Am
I'm a shake you off though

Lemonade

G
Now that I'm alone I feel the lonely brokeness
D
Of all the wicked avenues I've ever sold my love on
Em
All these moments of meekness and trembling subsided
D
In the outright abandon of this orphan child
G
Home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace
D
I guess I'm waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse
Em
And to wake up half empty
           D
Only to be filled again with mourning
        G
He's my evil shadow dove
                        D
My black Palamito Can't break him like a diamond skull
                      Em
I can't seem to do so Can't just rob him out like the
                  D
mob used to do so Like memories of porno and tearstains
              G
and tobacco O its a miny disastro
                        D
Bigger than the ice age don't know if baby dinosaurs
                             Em
Maybe could live through it, or indians and butterflies
                                 D
What's crushed is my spirit, O I fear it is too fragile
Like fall leaves burn like paper

G             D
I always knew I would spend a lot of time alone
Em
No one would understand me
                 D
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals
G                 D
Spend all my time amongst the animals
    Em                                        D
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea
To be amongst the animals


G
Oh I'm just a fill leaf something simple and shy like that
D
That's how my heart lies down beside the sidewalk
Em
Like an empty restaurant filled with perfume and balloons
D
I sit and entertain the bizarre ghosts of my soul
G
His name still lingers maybe lactates on my tongue
D
Perhaps I'm just teel him for a foreign fallen destiny
Em                   D
Miserable but mine I look like his mother
                     G
Or Sophia Loren in a old fashioned movie
                                  D
Slow motion motion I cling to my child desperate for love
Em                                  D
On day soon my brother died made me remember all the

Subordinate feelings I cast aside
G
Maybe I had lied when I said I was ok
D
Just getting along like a little song that stops to sing and say
Em
“Wild willow, windy winter won't you blow through me 
D
My who eternity”

G             D
I always knew I would spend a lot of time alone
Em
No one would understand me
                 D
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals
G                 D
Spend all my time amongst the animals
    Em                                        D
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea

To be amongst the animals

Animals

C            Em
I once fell in love with you
F                                 C
Just because the sky turned from gray
     Am
Into blue


C      Em   Am
It was Good Friday
C                Em       Am
The streets were open and empty
C       Em      Am
No more passion play
C      Em         Am
On St. Nicholas Avenue


C                Em
I believe in St. Nicholas
       F                 Em
It's a different type of Santa Claus    
C                  Am
I believe in Saint Nicholas

Good Friday

C                    Em            
I undressed you with my eyes I have
           G 
Maybe even raped you
G                                Am 
In a dark and eerie corner of my mind
Am
I tucked you there
Am
And touched you in a dream last night
           D
Pushed you aside when you entered
D                         C
My thoughts at the wrong time
C             Em   
I have sat up upon your lap and
G
Saddled my thighs around your hips like ropes
        Am  
I rode you on a chair and in the shower
                 D   
And all the while I clung heavy to your back
C         Em                       G
My desire deeply harnessed in your spine
        Am
While I squeezed you like a tree trunk
D
You may have been one
                         C
Sexless and comfort in your mind
Em                G
Even barer than a child's
    Am                                D
I'm riding recklessly through a thick and humid
D    C         Em               G
Jungle growing anxious with the deep and primal
G
Yearning that stirs
       Am
Deeply pulsing up toward the surface
D                              C
Like sap rising or honey or tar

Honey Or Tar

[intro]
F Am Dm Am A# Dm Gm C

[Verse 1]
             F 
Baby really hurt me
                Am 
crying in the taxi
                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm

into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am

Am

    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am

And then they are bored of me

I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am

Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"

So they pull back make other plans

        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave

I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]

VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]

I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time

I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words

There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.

And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

No Bravery

You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me oh sister


       G
Well I cannot claim this advice as my own

I learned it in the gutter one night coming home
           C                                                     G
She said "Don't you look ridiculous" I checked her out meticulously
   Em                                Bm
I would've stopped to argue but my teeth were broke
             Em                             Bm               D
I said "I'd love to contradict you but my life's a joke oh sister"


Chorus:

          G
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          C
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
G
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
D
Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
C                                               G
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on

  
      G
Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she

And maybe this is just the way it has to be
          C                                               G
It's all based on speculation seems a crazy occupation to me
              Em                            Bm
And though I didn't much believe her I was bound to call
          Em                            Bm              D
I really didn't want to miss a single thing at all oh sister


Chorus:

          G
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          C
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
G
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
D
Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
C                                               G
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on

Chorus:

          G
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          C
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go

C                                               G
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on
   D
I haven't seen her lately man I have to ring her
C                                                  G
Put your hands together for the acid jazz singer come on
