Alex Cameron - Mongrel Lyrics






She just wanted to hold his heart in her hands for a while
Drops of blood in a green glass vial
He could tell her a thousand times not to stare when he gets wild
Drops of blood in a green glass vial
Drops of blood in a green glass vial

Makin' money is the devil's art, they could trade their food and wine
Growing grapes on a fence-tied vine
German shepherds and caged magpies under corrugated iron
Drops of blood in a green glass vial
Drops of blood in a green glass vial

He made decisions like a seasoned vet, with a gun to the sky
Quadrabykes and a telescopic eye

Drops of blood in a green glass vial

In the evening marauders came off, fear was on her breath
My sweet girl, so scared you forgot about death
Death is the pulse in your eye on your very last breath

  1. M.... P....

    This is all about Another Green World by Brian Eno (1979). Give it a listen.

  2. P.... ....

    The fact that (in this video) he is just six years older than me is so irritating. I thought he was much older than 26. He really seems like fallen out of time.

  3. c.... ....

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  4. J.... S....

    Saw him live in Philadelphia recently and he didn’t perform this song. I was so sad 😞 This might be the greatest song ever. Dance moves included. I’m in my 40’s and I bust out these dance moves in random public places 😬

  5. G.... ....

    2:56........ One of the best melodies to every grace my ears

  6. H.... �....

    I like his vocal.

  7. M.... R....

    this is my favorite thing at the moment. this moment is lasting.

  8. D.... R....

    Drops of blood in a green glass vial would visually cancel each other out making the drops look muddy brown. So cool! Love color theory I never thought of this until yesterday

  9. J.... K....

    Is that a Chandler move?

  10. M.... P....

    I think you need your co worker

  11. V.... B....

    Man, this video reminds me of watching 120 Minutes on MTV in the early 90's.....

  12. B.... G....

    Seeing him live in St. Louis in November, can't wait!!!!!!

  13. T.... R....

    I would like to see and hear Ariel Pink and Alex Cameron collaborating

  14. S.... S....

    nice true Russian background in the beginning :))))

  15. c.... ....

    I love his dancing too! Alex Cameron taught me to have fun dancing for the first time since I was a child or even the first time in my life! Never really liked it before.

  16. Q.... V....

    fkn Novorossiysk suka blyat

  17. L.... D....

    Saw Alex a few times now with The Killers. Love the guy.

  18. J.... B....

    Very good.

  19. j.... ....

    This past weekend I saw Alex live in Minneapolis with Roy Malloy, the show they put on was absolutely fantastic, complete with a google chair review from Roy between songs. At one point the music box cut out, Alex and the audience sung and clapped the rest of the song Gospel style. One of the best concerts I'd ever seen

  20. 8.... ....

    Masterpiece! I need more of that synth and solo.

  21. A.... R....

    Alex reminds me of Bryan Ferry. Hes so damn cool 🖤💕

  22. A.... H....

    this is too good

  23. �.... D....

    inşalalh troldür trolse komik değilse daha komik

  24. E.... K....

    Where was this amazing song filmed?

    E.... K....

    Ah Romania

  25. E.... P....

    i was born in 79, it all reminds me my childhood

  26. B.... B....

    Anyone know a good drum machine for this kind of sound? Thanks.

  27. D.... R....

    I love this song!! Keeps getting stuck in my head.

  28. B.... E....

    Is this one of the Big Enough guys?!

  29. F.... C....

    Incredible Artist!!!!

  30. D.... R....

    This is my favorite song/video! So cool. Also reminds me of Lucious Malfoy 😆

  31. V.... C....

    Вот от куда Грибы взяли это движение

  33. i.... n....

    LOL who tf is this shithead

  34. F.... C....

    *Perfect* !!!!!!

  35. v.... ....

    Such a good song. Man that guitar/synth bit that comes in at like 2:50 sounds so much like an Eno bit off of tiger mountain or another green world

  36. A.... B....

    I'm seeing him in Atlanta tonight, I am pumped.

  37. C.... W....

    This is what would happen if the guy from the Room made a music video

  38. D.... M....

    this is awesome!

  39. E.... A....

    "Death is the pulse in your eye on your very last breath"

    That is the best line in the entire album.

  40. m.... e....

    NOW In 2018 i AM IN LOVE

  41. J.... O....

    Dude I just want to dance with this guys music!!!

  42. S.... ....

    These hair.

  43. J.... S....

    o cara e foda e a dança e mto engraçada

  44. K.... L....

    The start is like when you really don't know the opening act but you wanna show your support by dancing anyway

  45. K.... ....

    When I watch this video I think of him as mocking Drake's dancing.

    Great song and music video 👍👍

  46. �.... �....

    наконец-то, глоток оригинальной, интересной музыки, которую хочется слушать! Браво!!!

  47. A.... C....

    After listening to this about 100 times, I've finally realized what it reminds me of: Arcade Fire. That's a compliment I swear.

  48. L.... S....

    link to sunglasses? asking for a friend

  49. J.... ....

    Well apparently Rhaegar was a talented musician...

  50. K.... S....

    He moves the same way I do when I'm pretending to be an alien to freak my teen kids.'Running out of time' is the best alien moves.

  51. M.... ....

    He’s like the musical equivalent to Wes Anderson

  52. s.... ....

    It's like David Bowie, Andy Warhol, and Peter Gabriel fucked and had a.... him.

  53. C.... ....

    God dammit this is so good

  54. K.... N....

    Rare to find an artist that makes music you love and dances the way you do.

  55. D.... ....

    that move:
    looks like you're riding a chick while singing

  56. G.... G....

    This is addictive.. I can't stop listening to his music!

  57. R.... P....

    absolutely brilliant

  58. g.... m....

    Oh... Génial!! Ma dernière grosse sensation.

  59. N.... S....

    0:49...that move! haha love

  60. T.... ....

    You’re not David Bowie. Kay?

  61. T.... G....

    reminds me a lot of the moves Bowie was making in Lazarus and Blackstar videos

    (and himself actually!!)

  62. S.... E....

    I don't know which is funnier: this or Lotus Flower?

  63. J.... G....

    dang really good writing along with the music

  64. D.... P....

    Like the V stand homes

  65. B.... D....

    He dances like Alex Turner hahahaha

  66. P.... B....

    Aegon, Visenya, and Rhaenys

  67. K.... J....

    Alex and Roy Best Men Ever!

  68. p.... ....

    Pumping your bicycle tyre at 0:11

  69. l.... ....

    no wonder this didnt go very viral
    theres no screamin dad

  70. K.... B....

    Fucking awesome

  71. c.... ....

    I feel like he's a guy with a look and a sound that comes completely from within existing 80s and 90s music. I wouldn't ever give someone this and say "you gotta hear this, he's doing stuff you've never heard before!!!" But it _works_ so well, I can't fault it really.

  72. H.... ....

    New Bowie ?

    H.... ....

    I was laughed at for making that same comment. I believe it to be true.

  73. S.... S....

    His dance moves remind me of the video for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Fifteen Feet Of Pure White Snow

  74. M.... A....

    Nick Cave Jr.

  75. n.... ....

    Addicting very much!!!

  76. b.... ....

    2m54s One of the greatest melodies and lyrics in music history - but we just don't know it yet.

  78. P.... L....

    his moves remind me of lykke li.

  79. Q.... M....

    Nick Cave x Bruce Springsteen

  80. P.... ....

    this is the type of music that plays when the serial killer in silence of the lamb checks himself out in the mirror and says "yeah, i'd fuck me!"

    P.... ....

    Pretzels722 Haha was just thinking the same thing about his music in general.

    P.... ....

    goooooodbye hoooorses

    P.... ....

    Bounced on my boys D for hours to this

    P.... ....

    perfect

  81. J.... R....

    Alex Cameron is fucking brilliant all round. As a human, writer and performer. And so is that badass saxophonist Roy for that matter.

    J.... R....

    And the girl sending beautiful pictures of her eyes who's actually a Nigerian dude

    J.... R....

    James Ranno what girl? I dont see

    b.... ....

  84. B.... F....

    Mac DeMarco meets Nick Cave, right? Why do people like this music?

  85. S.... G....

    how did i only discover this now...

  86. M.... ....

    Lucius Malfoy seems to have great talent in music

    M.... ....

    Mr.Scintillant well he had to find a hobby waiting for a dark lord to return again

  87. i.... ....

  88. S.... ....

    Neo Psychedelic Furs ?

  89. F.... ....

    WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

  90. y.... ....

    Muy bueno! Hay que creer! We must to believe! The dance of Alex! Yes, He is Alex Cameron huge dance!

  91. Y.... D....

    The movements he makes in the beginning part are trippy as, he moves like some sort of computer game character. great track by the bye.

  92. D.... ....

    Alex dances like an episode of Twin Peaks. And I love it.

    D.... ....

    ooʞs ooʞs this whole thing screams twin peaks loll

    D.... ....

    This is exactly how I dance except I'm more shy. Props to Alex Cameron, because he just goes for it and doesn't care if he's awkward.
