Mildenhall - The Shins[00:00:00]
Written by:James Mercer[00:00:00]
At fifteen we had to leave the States again[00:00:12]
Dad was stationed at an RAF base they called Mildenhall[00:00:15]
Black moss on a busted wall[00:00:21]
The cobblestones made it hard to skate[00:00:26]
I thought my flattop was so new wave[00:00:29]
Until it melted away in the Suffolk rain[00:00:32]
Well god damn you miss the USA[00:00:39]
Then a kid in class passed me a tape[00:00:48]
An invitation not the hand of fate[00:00:55]
I guess my shoes said I might relate[00:01:01]
Somehow she knew I'd like to stay up waiting with her in the cold[00:01:05]
For cheap beer and rock 'n roll[00:01:10]
Which in time put lots of things in my mind[00:01:14]
A kid in class passed me a tape[00:01:23]
We saw some bands down at the corn exchange[00:01:30]
I wonder where my sister was that night[00:01:37]
Back at home under the tanning bed lights[00:01:40]
I can still see the glow[00:01:43]
Strange rays from her window[00:01:46]
Each night as I was skating home[00:01:51]
Started messing with my dad's guitar[00:01:59]
Taught me some chords just to start me off[00:02:02]
Whittling away on those rainy days[00:02:05]
And that's how we get to where we are now[00:02:12]
A kid in class passed me a tape[00:02:20]
A band called the Jesus and the Mary Chain[00:02:27]
I started messing with my dad's guitar[00:02:34]
He taught me some chords just to start me off[00:02:38]
Whittling away on all of those rainy days[00:02:41]
And that's how we get to where we are now[00:02:47]
And that's how we get to where we are now[00:02:54]
