Boy & Bear - Milk & Sticks Lyrics






Born from a soldier's arms
But our spirit keeps a-moving on
One metre at a time we fall
It's a bloody hill in a broken war

We've been singing like a lunatic
Knee-deep in our Milk & Sticks
Just a kid with a broken arm
A slingshot and a hail of harm

Ooh I'm hungry for that feeling honey
Cos it's moving faster than the speed of sound
I left you a lizard by the lake my lover
It was so profound
While we found
While we found

Torn like beaten man,
It's another dog in a foreign land
And keep on carrying a broken stone
New tricks and a buried bone
(We were) born to motivated
Cut off and cultivated
I promise you when the time does come
We'll be down river with my loaded gun

Ooh I'm hungry for that feeling honey
Cos it's moving faster than the speed of sound
I left you a lizard by the lake my lover
It was so profound
While we found
While we found
While we found
While we found

Just like the rest,
You'll be coming back, you'll be looking for paradise
For the silver line
That separates your body from your mind
What a mess we're in

There's a monster in my head
There's an animal screaming down upon my neck
Oh no you better get up my friend

There's a monster in my bed
There's an animal screaming down upon my neck
Oh no you better get up my friend
What a mess we're in

Oh no you better get up my friend
Oh no you better get up my friend
Oh you know you better run my friend

    Keep going boys! You are without question the most talented band in the country so please give us more real music as you are doing, rather than the manufactured crap that we see from other people these days. This song is a masterpiece.

  14. b.... ....

    Where was this shot? Quintessential Australia. Looks like traveling up to Barringtons.

    b.... ....

    This was shot at the top of the Hunter Valley NSW. From Gundy to Moonan Flat. The "Bells Bridge" crosses the Hunter river 1k past Moonan Flat and turn left towards Ellerston/ Nundle. Had it comfirmed by B&B on there FB page today.

    I have faith things can get better now in the popular music of young people.After being suppressed by Anti Music (Beep beep & Blip / bang crash sounds) true talent will eventually surface.

  19. g.... ....

    Nobody reads names on youtube, get over yourself.

  32. r.... ....

    this is quite good.

  33. b.... m....

    My fav genre of music? youtube sidebar of course

  34. M.... ....

    I'm a girl, not a he. Yeah, everyone took it so offensively. It was meant to be funny, not mean. Having said that, I'm taking offense to you saying 'he'. Clearly 'megan' isn't a guys name.

  35. M.... ....

    I hope you weren't referring me when you said "He probs just put up that generic comment for likes rather than his own personal opinion".

  36. T.... ....

    how about Rise Against?

  37. v.... ....

    fuck these advertizements are ruining youtube.

  38. T.... ....

    STOP DAMN TALKING ABOUT VEVO! Talk about how awesome this song it, ITS AWESOME!

  39. c.... ....

    It's strange how much I love this video.

  40. f.... ....

    yea that also annoys the shit out of me. but still without VEVO there was no music on youtube.

  41. M.... ....

    I know, right.

  42. M.... ....

    Pardon me?

  43. M.... ....

    Yes, true. But I was also rejected from watching the 2011 Indie Playlist because it was not available in my country. It was a message from VEVO, not the uploader or YouTube

  44. M.... ....

    I'll Tell You What Fucking Sucks would be a fun name to say.

  45. M.... ....

    Nonsense, I use Google Chrome.

  46. E.... V....

    They don't show you videos if you live in Narnia

  47. T.... O....

    *you're

  48. s.... ....

    Your listening to Triple J

  49. w.... ....

    At 0:38 was i the only one who jumpped a little :S hahaha

  50. I.... B....

    yeah, because having only one mirror is not mainstream

  51. b.... ....

    The people who hate on VEVO probably use Internet Explorer

  52. E.... A....

    Why does this song remind me of Where The Wild Things Are?

  53. M.... A....

    me too via 3fm, die laten vaak geweldige platen horen!

  54. T.... ....

    en (natuurlijk) via 3FM weer hier ;) Topplaat!

  55. f.... ....

    @12lmeganl12 lol VEVO is awesome?

  56. T.... ....

    2:50 when the song really starts :D

  57. R.... W....

    @TheDJRobbieK In the magical land of Australia, they drive on the other side of the road, unless we are riding kangaroos, they have right of way and are allowed to take up as many lanes as they wish.

  58. P.... ....

    Chevy driving on the wrong side of the road.

    P.... ....

    Papyrus uh, it is on the right side of the road. This was filmed in Australia. That's the side we drive on :)

  59. L.... R....

    amazing amazing amazing song..

  60. K.... ....

    One of the reasons why I hate VEVO is, that I can't watch videos on my phone.

  61. R.... W....

    @gottalovelepricorns Seriously? he is the drummer

  62. e.... t....

    thumbs up if communion sent you here

  63. t.... h....

    wow, that an exceptional Chevy!
    A 66?

  64. l.... ....

    I want to marry his voice!

  65. A.... S....

    @kubi89 Can't watch vevo videos on youtube apps = no point in having a youtube app = vevo sucking balls.

  66. J.... T....

    VEVO cencures every bad word in video's but this band doesnt use bad words so kinda lame to play a VEVO hate reaction on this Video

  67. M.... ....

    @CJEditss Ah cool. The top two comments are in relation to each other. But that kinda sucks, because instead of people having to find my comment, they have it right there and people are thumbing it as much. Could you just delete your comment and then it'd save my issue? Thanks a bunch :)

  68. M.... ....

    @lullabiesgoparalyzed Aw yea.

  69. f.... o....

    @LOOKoutITSspiderpig ...thankyou. here is my interpretation. BOY....somebody the foo fighters are very interested in. BOYFRIENDS......people that hang around bands like the foo fighters and boy and boyfriends.

  70. C.... ....

    @figbat1 BOY- a male child or young man. BEAR- a large, heavy, mostly omnivorous mammal of the family Ursidae that walks on the soles of its feet, with thick fur and a very short tail. I hope this clears things up. :)

  71. M.... ....

    @kubi89 Well, for one, I clicked on a link to the top Indie bands of 2011. VEVO said the entire playlist wasn't available in my country. VEVO, why advertise something I can't watch. Also, it wasn't just one video with a message from YouTube saying it wasn't available, it was a message from VEVO.

  72. k.... ....

    @12lmeganl12 What is wrong about Vevo, you moron?

  73. f.... o....

    @TroutyPout .....i bet you also like the foo fighters and the communards dont you nanncy!

  74. L.... G....

    I can't believe this song hasn't had a million views by now. Its THAT good.

  75. f.... o....

    @Electricballoons ....hello balloon -boy. no i hadn't thought that "boy and boyfriends" was my most hilarious moment....but now that you mention it......it has moved up the ladder a few notches. i like to think that dave grohl is on his couch right now with buble and his giant bieber blow up doll listening to this c r a p followed by a grinderman chaser.

  76. E.... ....

    @figbat1 I hate Bieber and I'm indifferent to Buble.

    The fact that you seem to think that "boy and boyfriends" is the most hilarious thing in the world sort of tells me that I should look at you with a deep pity, so that's what I'm doing right now. It's OK *pats head*. It will all be OK.

  77. f.... o....

    @Electricballoons ....go back to your boy and boyfriends, girlfriend. i bet you love bieber and buble as well.

  78. E.... ....

    @figbat1 Funny, you said that on another video. I'd have thought that anyone with something that even loosely resembles a life would click away from a band they don't like and move on. Not you though. I admire your endeavour, but only a little.

  79. N.... S....

    2:35 ..... Ponting-esque pull past square leg for four.

  80. f.... o....

    F U C K THIS SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!

    boy and bear?....what does that mean?

    should rename themselves boy and boyfriends or augie march pahse 2.

  81. J.... M....

    alot of masks on most of der videos

  82. M.... ....

    great great !!!

  83. j.... ....

    Seeing them tonight baby!

  84. R.... ....

    These Aussies are amazing.

    I'm wearing suspenders now.

  85. J.... C....

    4:02 epic picture :O her eyes look so amazing :O
    I love the concept of their videos :D

  86. k.... w....

    I've found paradise!

  87. J.... W....

  88. M.... K....
