Fleet Foxes - So Long To The Head Strong Lyrics






This morning I received air mail letter 3 from my connection overseas.
I pulled the paper back,
you begin your attack and it means:

Of all the places I laid down my head,
I think of two I regret
Love isn’t easy my baby you’re sayin' today

But tell Mr. shoemaker I’ll be away
On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay
On a continental steam ship sailin' away
On a one way ticket on a 1st class airplane
I wanna know what you’re thinkin' about
Don’t just let me go

Four hundred days have passed since I’ve heard from you last
I’m getting worried, I admit
Maybe it’s nothing much
There’s nicer shores in sight
Oh I just don’t know

Of all the places I laid down my head I think of two I regret
Love isn’t easy my baby we’d tell you today
But tell Mr. shoemaker I’ll be away
On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay
On a continental steam ship sailin' away
On a one way ticket on a 1st class airplane
I wanna know what you’re thinkin' about
Don’t just let me go

I’m sayin' so long
I want my baby back
I know it’s hard to see
Why she’s in love with me
I’m sayin' so long
I want my baby back
I know it’s hard to see
Why she’s in love with me
So long to the headstrong
I wasn’t qualified to lead that city life
That’s all I have to say

  1. W.... P....

    puts too much lemon juice in my eyes

  2. A.... ....

    Sounds like File Select from the Zelda games

  3. J.... D....

    hahahah the fucking zelda song

  4. D.... T....

    Fleet Foxes refuse to release this EP to the public for some reason. These six songs are pure gold.

    D.... T....

    They're releasing this on vinyl/CD/digital this November I believe. It's a box set with this, the Sun Giant EP and something else. The CD/Digital are really cheap too considering what you get!

  5. R.... ....

    Why are these not on spotify?

  6. J.... T....

    I have reason to believe you dedicated all of these songs to Dee Dee

  7. T.... ....

    Why isn’t this album on Spotify?

    T.... ....

    the song is on spotify

    T.... ....

    Never released i think

  8. m.... _....

    Of all the places I laid down my head,
    I think of two I regret...

  9. c.... ....

    This is one of their best songs!

    c.... ....

    makes me too sad

  11. E.... ....

    0:47 Zelda/mu/ brought me here.
    Edit: Thump up

    E.... ....

    +EphReinhard Hah your right

    E.... ....

    Zelda's lullaby is in the middle of "hot hot Rays" off of the same album as well haha

    E.... ....

    It's the Great Fairy Fountain Theme! I know how to play this on the guitar- it's incredible Fleet Foxes used a part of it :p

  12. t.... ....

    i wouldn't mind if the third fleet foxes album's gonna be like their first EP...

    t.... ....

    te0nzin
    That would ruin my month

  13. V.... G....

    this song is amazing. definitely a favorite

  14. Z.... ....

    That's understandable because it's literally the exact same chord progression.

  15. p.... ....

    pura labia :v

  16. I.... S....

    this reminds me the great fairy fountain from zelda O: 0:46

  17. D.... ....

    This is one the only songs I've ever heard that had from the first song that was sang. Beautiful. Also, Quiet Houses was one of them too.

  18. R.... a....

    I hear a very strong The Zombies influence in their older songs.

  19. J.... B....

    wow, it sounds so different from their stuff now

  20. J.... B....

    love it

  21. B.... ....

    Just think of Neil Young. He can be so sparse and acoustic, and so loud when his Old Black is plugged in. Got no doubt these guys love Neil's music.

  22. E.... ....

    I love their EP tunes. They make me feel happy^^

  23. b.... ....

    i really really love this ep. their electric sound is so great and different from their folky sound

  24. a.... x....

    <3 <3 <3 <3

  25. D.... ....

    well since nobody seems to have any manners...
    THANK YOU for uploading those wonderful songs from their EP ;)
