St. Vincent - Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood Lyrics
Just like an amnesiac
Trying to get my senses back
(Oh, where did they go?)
Laughing with a mouth of blood
(Oh, what are you laughing at?)
See I traded my plot of land
For a plane to anywhere
(Oh, where do you go?)
And I can't see the future
But I know its got big plans for me
(Oh, what does it see?)
All of my old haunts are now all haunting me
Holed up at the Motel Ritz
With a televangelist
(Oh what did he say?)
At the bottom of a swimming pool
With all the water out of it
(How'd you get in there?)
I'm sending consolation prizes
To my next of kin, allies
(Oh, they'll be so thrilled)
And I can't see the future
But I know it's watching me
(Wonder what it sees)
All of my old friends aren't so friendly
All of my old haunts are now all haunting me
Tell my sister that I miss her
Tell my brother that it gets much easier
Tell my sister that I miss her
Tell my brother that it gets much easier
All of my old friends aren't so friendly
And all of my old haunts are now all haunting me
All of my old friends aren't so friendly
And all of my old haunts are now all haunting me

St. Vincent Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood Comments
KB-wannabe
... imagine a sad woman...
I love to read all the intertextuality xd
again and again... and where did they go?
This is hillarious i love her so much😂😂😂💀
Oh god... This says it perfectly. what a beautiful woman! i'm
not being objective, this is the truth, inside and out!
I LOVE THIS ST.VINCENT SIDE. PLEASE ST. VINCENT COME BACK TO THIS SIDE OF YOURS SO CUTE
Just discovered this video and it is G E N I U S
One of those rare videos that come from across the pond, once in a decade, that is actually amusing. Hey the video was made in 2010 so just a year to go, I can’t wait for the next one! Who says the Americans don’t have a sense of humour? The music, by the way, was excellent, which the Americans are good at.
I want us all to live in that bookstore while Annie keeps playing songs!
This is a great artist, a superb song, and what a video. Anybody has told it was so funny ?? ;-) or, is it because I'm ..French ? ah ah !
Tbh st vincent is the reason I started watching portlandia
Haha 1:15 When did the flyer go up...? My life.
Whenever I am low this is a must see🎸
Theres a flyer up higher
It's so weird that this is pre Portlandia
imagine a sad woman
Carrie Brownstein knows how fans act at shows and does the perfect impression. So freaking funny. Especially when you start playing and people leave or turn around hahaha
It would make my heart feel better if you would be quiet.
Damn girl how did I miss this video. Funny! How did you keep a straight face? Awesome guitar work.
my heart. <3
When Lorde and Lana Del Rey were popular, I told my friends, "fuck it" "If you want 'real' and 'earthy' - take my advice and listen to this woman.
Portlandia + St.Vincent = my life complete
I knew this had to be a single
Bookstore concerts are the best.
whoa . . . awesomeness song!!!! brilliant woman
God Portlandia is so unfunny
ModernEphemera It really is. The only thing funny are the guests sometimes, and that is sometimes.
Kindof really fucking depresses me that the opening advertisement chosen for my [apparent] demographic is for diaper rash ointment. That's how it works with advertising that's permitted to be more offensive due to its 'algorithmic' nature, right?
Why have humans not learned that nothing we create will ever be random, because we are so much a part of each other?
Is it because many of us only identify with the people we know, and not enough with the ones we don't?
Certainly the advertisements directed towards men don't suggest that something the size of a watermelon grew inside of their body and had to be be forced out of an opening which was perhaps the size of a lemon. The inherent trauma and emotional confusion/degredation should be implied. It doesn' take extraordinary powers of empathy to understand that, for those individuals who aren't personally affected by the destructive ways of human reproductive practices.
I've almost been led to believe breeding ISN'T the only purpose men serve on this planet.
I've definitely been led to believe it's mine.
I always imagine advertisements chosen for males depict vacations or cars or something. Something PROMISING and INDICATIVE OF A FUTURE THEY CREATE FOR THEMSELVES.
Not a future created for them. No women know 'freedom' in a world controlled by penises.
["Don't point. It reminds me of a penis."]
This video is so funny because so many artists have experienced the same exact crap from non-promoting venues and fans w/o boundaries - love it
Annie is just delightful, love her character, so sweet and polite and one of the prettiest girls ive ever clapped eyes on!! Lovely soothing voice too!!
Superb song, that strings sample is beautiful...
Didn't know about Portlandia when I first watched this, three years later now I get it
This song is a wonderful commentary on this world
carrie and annnieee. YES
Her voice is so pretty. <3
she should play on steven universe
Peeing myself- 🤘🏽
lovely song lovely singer.
What with the little symbol that kind of looks like the orthodox cross.
Ha, this reminds me when I ran into some people practicing a song and they played it through for me but after a minute or so I suddenly felt awkward standing in front of them by myself like a one person concert
i feel angry at them for making her leave,even though i know that this was staged
wow she was good back then
Love the captions on the shelves.
"Magic, Science" ;D
Forever in love. Im waiting to call me Annie. You need someone to lean on after your breakup with Cara.
worst advertising ever.
Is this Portlandia?
why is the man dressed up like a girl?
Portlandia, its a show
+Debra Duval oh ok
I sort of wish that she wouldn't wear carefully-applied make up. It is very distracting. (And I don't agree with the naysayers who dislike the video. I think it is refreshing, and hilarious. )
What a great sport she is
THANK GOD. I finally found a song of hers without that scratchy sort of guitar that she uses in a lot of her songs. Her voice is so beautiful so I'm glad I found a song where it's more of the focus.
A lot of "Actor", the album this is from, is lighter. She was inspired by old Disney soundtracks so a lot of the album is really symphonic. "Strange Mercy" is really chill. Really the only album that is super BLARGH and guitar heavy is the most recent one.
A lot of her earlier work doesn't rely on her custom guitar-type, but her self titled and most recent album uses that new direction of sound
👉I💓Portlandia👈
I love how even though I know its just a silly video it still makes me cringe :)
love st vincent!!!!
omg... this woman blows me away, talent to write sing and play.. and geesh.. I do hope she is the "real humble" which makes her so very beautifully attrictive, and I mean that on top of her lovely looks..
Toni is my most favorite character on Portlandia.
I love when you can see Carrie almost start to break character and laugh right before Annie plays the song!
Can't be more funny
Of all of her videos that I have seen, this is the worst. The sensibilities of the video and the song are in too much contrast. Plus, a solo performance to the sound of a full band seems amateur .
it isnt really hers, its portlandia a tv show
I would have let her play more. She clearly wanted to.

LYRICS:
Just like an amnesiac
Trying to get my senses back
(Oh, where did they go?)
Laughing with a mouth of blood
From a little spill I took
(Oh, what are you laughing at?)
See I traded my plot of land
For a plane to anywhere
(Oh, where do you go?)
And I can't see the future
But I know its got big plans for me
(Oh, what does it see?)
All of my old friends aren't so friendly
All of my old haunts are now all haunting me
Holed up at the Motel Ritz
With a televangelist
(Oh what did he say?)
At the bottom of a swimming pool
With all the water out of it
(How'd you get in there?)
I'm sending consolation prizes
To my next of kin, allies
(Oh, they'll be so thrilled)
And I can't see the future
But I know it's watching me
(Wonder what it sees)
All of my old friends aren't so friendly
All of my old haunts are now all haunting me
Tell my sister that I miss her
Tell my brother that it gets much easier
Tell my sister that I miss her
Tell my brother that it gets much easier
All of my old friends aren't so friendly
And all of my old haunts are now all haunting me
All of my old friends aren't so friendly
And all of my old haunts are now all haunting me
Le Dan Theman Playlists up
??? ive never seen this video before
"...Why don"t we just tell people in wheelchairs to look up and read the flyer...?"
love everything about this!
Is this cannon ?
Beautiful song. Stupid video.
+Snaporaz100 I've never seen an episode of Portlandia in my life and I thought this was hilarious.
@Steven Boland you are my kind of human LOL!!
@Dave Obsessed Thanks. XD Dave Grohl is my hero. (pun intended)
@Steven Boland what a coincidence mine too haha!!
+Snaporaz100 video isa bout my friend who laives in kolbuszowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
i love portlandia and i love st. vincent, this is possibly the best cross over i have ever seen
The 49 people who dislike this just gotta be the stupidest ever.
@Zara McInnes Ikr with no taste in such amazing music.
Just discovering her music. Better tardy than not at all at the party. What an excellent musician/songwriter. If I didn't know Portlandia, I'd be very confused...
Skip to 1:56
I think this is so funny!
oh now i know who these people are!!
I get the feeling the employees are depicted as not caring for the song; they're just looking at everything else in the store and they "clap clap clap" near the end like "nice, it's over."
They're characters from the show, 'Portlandia'. That's the point
@kristincharity1 Thanks. I haven't watched that show outside this.
"I traded my plot of land for a plane to anywhere" = "I traded my grave for a ticket to Heaven"?
Song starts at 1:50
PORTLANDIA!!!!!
Adore this song <3
Oh god, I love her voice so much!
I think I'm in love.
you are the embodiment of love Katie. Have no fear; you are loved!
Go for it, girl!
this was so bizarre i love it
how have I not seen this before?
Please season and chapter!!!!!
The family in the "cruel" video are less creepy than these two!...
Great Humor.. Fantastic lyric´s - She`s cute.. ;0))
I wish I was Carrie. I would ask Annie to marry me. Or maybe Annie would ask me to marry her :-)
Carrie and Annie...
and Fred...
You mean Annie and Tony... And Candice
Thunder Ant? Treat her better next time? Please? Love this song, St. Vincent deserves better.
Awesome video - I seriously love this girl!
This track sounds a bit like Foster the People.
I am hooked on this song.
'sometimes when i'm sad i'm low to the ground,and imagine a sad woman'
"Just like an amnesiac, trying to get my senses back"
Her voice is so damned soothing.
st vincent and carrie brownstein lovers :)
@landondonovanify the most musically talented offspring, if only if only.
+landondonovanify sorry now Cara :D
that guitar creates a lot of different sounds! amazing!
Would love to hear her on a duet with Van Hunt.
I DIG this video, amazing song, amazing artist, and icing on the cake is Portlandia. Very nice!
Lol hilarious show. Beautiful girl. Beautiful voice.
I've never had a fictional sketch make me so uncomfortable before.
@ManinManchester because it looks terrible and forced
@joe hendrickson Thats the point
Do watch Portlandia?
one of her very best songs....such a beautiful piece of orchestration.
