Little Green Cars - Harper Lee Lyrics






Like a crash I wait for the impact
And like a train I wait for the smoke
Like a storm I wait for the silence
And like a bluff I wait till you fold

Oh there’s a gun in the attic let me go grab it
Oh I’d blow holes in my soul just so you can look past it
Oh ye there’s glass on the floor there’s a hole in the roof
Oh ye the chandelier fell now the rains falling through

Like a dog I wait for my owner
And Harper Lee I’ll kill me a bird
And I sit back and I just watch it happen
And just like you I won’t say a word

Oh there’s a gun in the attic, let me go grab it
Oh I’d blow holes in my soul just so you can look past it
Oh ye there’s glass on the floor, there’s a hole in the roof
Oh ye the chandelier fell, now the rain’s falling through

Oh I put mice in the kitchen to see if you’d kill them
Oh oh no you let them live now there’s twelve thousand kids
Oh oh ye you let them breed now I’ve got mouths to feed
Oh oh ye you let them stay now they have taken my place
Oh ye you left them alone now they’re eating our home

  9. M.... O....

  10. R.... L....

    The first time I'd heard this song was on the radio. I felt young again. Good times to feel those moments in life again. ✌😛

  11. C.... ....

    This song, and band in general, are sadly very unknown :/

  12. k.... a....

    I put mice in the kitchen to see if you'd kill them...oooOOoo

    Oh yeah, you let them breed now I've got mouse to feed

  13. N.... ....

    I'm strangely attracted to him

  14. l.... p....

    He looks like Edith from Downton Abbey. Anyone?

  15. V.... K....

    How old is Stevie?

  16. G.... ....

    Anyone know how to contact Vince Gilligan..?? Can really feel some Litlle Green cars Music in Better Call Saul..

  17. S.... T....

    This is the first time listening to them. Damn. They're wonderful. The music video is pretty interesting and the lyrics just got to me. Can't wait to hear more! :)

  18. G.... ....

    Watched this incredible Band live in Shorrts last night.. Blew me away..

  19. J.... N....

    I luh diz song!! <3

  20. T.... W....

    Used to love this song 3 years ago, still loving it now that I picked it up again :)

  21. G.... ....

    Lifts Me up.. We all need lifting up...

  22. T.... ....

    NASA live feed brought me here! Such an amazing find!

  23. A.... J....

    Saw them at Electric Picnic in 2014 and last week at Iveagh Gardens... excellent band, wonderful interludes, excellent musicianship, and amazing harmonies. New fav band :)

  24. g.... ....

    I saw them live with free tickets.We had a great laugh but the band were incredibly boring so we left before anyone could ask for an encore.

    g.... ....

    go away

    g.... ....

    your loss, they're brilliant.

  25. S.... Q....

    Anyone else think he sounds a little bit like the lead male singer in Grouplove, no?

    S.... Q....

    He Reminds me of Dave Couse.. another Irish Musical legend.. :)

  26. B.... R....

    It gives me a little embarrassed to admit that I like Little Green Cars ... cause they are very delicates to their image and music ... but, fuck !!! Harper Lee is a fantastic song!

  27. S.... D....

    Saw them Live, They were just as amazing!

  28. O.... F....

    good band.

  29. D.... Z....

    their Red Bull Stripped Session is definitely worth checking out too!
    http://www.redbull.com/uk/en/music/stories/1331777512751/irish-indie-rock-band-little-green-cars-return-with-new-album-and-live-session

  30. E.... P....

    great song!!

  31. J.... P....

    R.I.P Harper Lee

    J.... P....

    +Aissling Gazzo The person Harper Lee is dead, therefore the RIP

    J.... P....

    That is so sad.😭 I want to cry!

  32. A.... z....

    what bugs me is the videos with the actors wanna be..you're musician, just perform onstage or rehearsal let us imagine things thru the SONG dont MAKE a video to stop our imagination...and if you wanna be an actor ok, fine..GOOD LUCK..(so annoying)the way Hozier RUINED the song i loved with the video of paranoia, straw man argument-persecution which is minimal, criminal and just isolated aberrations...and gay male love whatever..

    A.... z....

    +An zgh k

    A.... z....

    +Rarest of Lambs are you saying i'm not FREE to opine? in youtube the opinion forum? HAHAHA that's even funnier and sadder than dumb videos

    A.... z....

    +An zgh I think you need to understand that +Rarest of Lambs didn't say anything about not letting your opinion allowed on YouTube. All that was said that musicians are allowed to choose wether or not they want a music video to unfold their songs. So settle down

    A.... z....

    oh put a sock in it.

    A.... z....

    dude, that was a YEAR ago, a little late to lecture me...i said that cuz it sounded condescending ..but looking back it can interpreted in two way but i dont even know why i came to see that video, never heard of the band till today and i dont really CARE...so maybe YOU need to settle down now? "polanco" :))

  33. J.... H....

    Which musical genre is this? :D Love it!

    J.... H....

    +Johanna Herrera I'd judge Indie Rock

    J.... H....

    +Johanna Herrera You'll find alot of major irish bands are similar to this :) Coronas, walking on cars, riptide movement, hudson and taylor, Gavin james. all great irish musicians. Little green cars are very indie tho ya. I seen them a few days ago live. They're great.

    J.... H....

    I think this would fall under "Americana"

  34. T.... P....

    I hear R.E.M a little bit

    T.... P....

    +Tony Pelzer
    Definitely.

  35. T.... O....

    You guys were great in Portland!

    T.... O....

    +Tom Otero i knew them before, but after i saw them live i completely fell in love.

  36. J.... ....

    great song, good band, shiiiiiiiit video.

  74. J.... T....

    I just found Little Green Cars and I'm not the least bit embarrassed to say that I'm completely obsessed and in love!!! The lyrics are absolutely fantastic and your style is so unique! The emotion in all the songs is raw and present! Can't wait to hear more! I'll be listening you guys at the iTunes Music Festival!!!!!

  75. G.... T....

    Probably because the fathers like the "Neil Young" vocals....

  76. T.... ....

    Pretty sure it's about a passive guy snapping and killing his partner after being subject to a lot of aggressive people. Check out the Triple J Interview for this song, they make a little mention about it.

  77. T.... ....

    Love them creepy eyes, psychotic thriller played to a T. Scary thing is they are all attractive, is it wrong to be infatuated by killer eyes?

  78. C.... j....
