lyrics

Once I was a girl who led the sailors on
And never gave a kiss for free
Dashing all their dreams until the night was gone
Leave them trembling in the cold gray dawn
Pack up my petticoats and travel on
That was the life for me

Then you came along and really blew my mind
And now I need a rescue crew
Washed up on this island feeling unrefined
Cigarettes and Valium for my Valentine
My hair’s a mess, I’m barely dressed
A wreck, it’s true
Slipwrecked on the shores of you

The night turns into day
I’m still in lingerie
I think I’ll take another pill
It don’t make sense to me
How can I possibly
Be so washed up and feel so dirty still?

The moon above me seems to understand
As others walk the avenue
The night you shoved me did not go as planned
Now I'm stranded on this cheap divan
By a natural disaster that they call a man
Slipwrecked
On the shores of you

The night turns into day
I’m still in lingerie
Another pill, or maybe two
It don’t make sense to me
How can I possibly
Be so washed up and feel so dirty too?

O moon above me, understand
And say a prayer for me
To make you love me was my only plan
Now I’m washed up like a fish on land
Just another piece of tail flopping in the sand
And drinking cheap Chablis

My hair’s a mess, I’m barely dressed
A wreck, it’s true
I got the empty bottles
but no S.O.S. gets through
Can’t even get the door
cause I look like such a whore
Slipwrecked
On the shores of you

The Love Markets image

The Love Markets Seattle, Washington

Weimar Berlin meets New Orleans! The Love Markets bring bite and soul to their modern mashup of bordello brass, funky bass and sultry cabaret rhythm, luring you into alleys haunted by pulp heroines and speakeasies rich with subversion.

"Irresistible.. A deliciously dark carnival."
-Seattle Magazine

"Ruffle-clad ruffians...Angie Louise is a singer- songwriter with fearsome chops."
-City Arts ... more
