Great Peacock
Great Peacock
New album "Forever Worse Better" out now!
Great Peacock’s harmony-driven sound appeals to fans of indie-folk, but the group is different from contemporaries like Fleet Foxes and The Head and the Heart in that their music is inextricably linked with the South. Instead of trying to live in a long-gone past, Great Peacock draws from the same inspirations that once fueled their now-extinct forebears (geography, aging, love/hate family relationships, blood, death, birds), channeling them into an unmistakably modern sound. For Nelson and Floyd, it’s natural, intuitive.
For fans of: Sturgill Simpson, Tom Petty, Jason Isbell

Lyrics
When you’re standing in the doorway
Looking for a sign
Just keep on moving
Don’t fall behindWhen you’re missing that someone
Feeling all alone
Just keep on singing
Singing your songOh, my love is a heavy load
When you’re running out of daylight
But you're burning in the sun
Just keep on working till the work gets doneAnd don’t let go
Don’t give up
I know how much it hurts -

OH DEEP WATER
Oh deep Water keep on washing away these tears
Oh deep Water keep on washing away these fears
Take a little time to make things right
Make a little love in the middle of the night
Take a little time to make things right
And you just keep on rolling
You just keep on going
Tiny star faintly filling up the night
Tiny star faintly filling up my mind
I wonder why, but I keep on going
I wonder why, but I keep on going

Another glass of whiskey
Baby come with me
Back to my place to get drunk Tonight
Takes two to tango
So Why don’t we go
Back to my place to get drunk Tonight
Tell me bout your problems
Everybody’s got some
Tell me bout your old loves
Everybody’s got some
Sing me that sad song
Everybody’s got one
Let’s just get drunk Tonight
Grab that ole corkscrew
We ain’t near through
We’re gonna get drunk Tonight
Another bottle’s waiting

There’s a lion lying round lying through his teethHey baby can’t save me I got lost in the rock ‘n’ roll
hey baby can’t save me I’m losing self-control

down to the ground rotting to its seed

I remember the days
I remember the nights
we pushed and pulled and held each other tight
I remember hello
I remember goodbye

When your body is the air
And your breath is all that’s there
And the night has left you bare
Cuz the truth is all you wear
I’m begging to Stay
When you’re hiding from the reins
And you’re dancing in the flames
And the walls are unashamed
Cuz you’re calling out my name
I’m begging to Stay

All the changing seasons, And all we do is try
We're not getting any younger, It doesn't work that way
We're not getting any younger, I ain't here to stayI won't let you go, won't let you go
Seeing is believing, But I ain't seeing well
This heart is barely beating, but it ain't gone to hell
We're not getting any younger, It doesn't work that way
We're not getting any younger, I ain't here to stayCrawling out of the snow now you're caught in the sun

Take me to the mountain, and wash me in the riverside.
It's such a perfect place to hide, away the night.
Drop me in the valley, when snow is on the mountainside.
And the river's all subside, into the night.Oh, Yeah!
Meet me in the graveyard, When this life has passed you by.
And the memories that you buy, they chase the night.
Float me in the heavens, when you've left the mountanside.
And you're in the by-and-by, without a night -

See the sun, it's hanging in the sky.
Ask yourself the endless reasons why.
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on.
It goes, It goes, it goes, the color's gone.Now you're feeling like a stow-away.
You're hiding in the wings.
You try and find the desert lark.
To teach you how to sing.
You're love is like a hurricane.
It's floating on the breeze.
You try and find the desert lark.
To teach you how to sing.The Middle's always greater than the end.
You try to start, but find you can't begin.
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on.
You're lost, you're found, you're caught within a song.Now you're feeling like a stow-away.
You're hiding in the wings.
You try and find the desert lark.
To teach you how to sing.
You're love is like a hurricane.
It's floating on the breeze.
You try and find the desert lark.
To teach you how to sing.La-La

They told you not to come, but you could not stay away
Yeah, you brought it from the delta, to the Memphis street
Now it's catching on and everybody wants to playWell I climbed to the top of your mountains, and I swan to the bottom of your creeks
And I drank all the whiskey that you've been pouring in to me
I ran from the ghosts of the soldiers walking cross the ancient field

I’m afraid of never being aliveShe said she loved me way back when
But, now she’s leaving and I can’t pretend
It doesn’t matter and I don’t care
I’m tired of praying these empty prayersI ain’t afraid of dying, I wanna ride that high wind
I’m afraid of never being aliveAnd it’s a long way back down to where I’ve been
I ain’t afraid of dying, I wanna ride that high wind
I’m afraid of never being alive -

Hey Old Man
Where you stand is where I’m gonna stand one day
Hey Old Man
Those leather hands are gonna be my hands somedayCould you tell me the secret
Could you teach me how to hurt
Could you tell me the secret
How do you make love workHey Old Man
Where’d you find the time? That’s something I’d like to find
Hey Old Man
Are you ready to go? Cause that’s something I’d like to knowCould you tell me the secret
Could you teach me how to hurt
Could you tell me the secret
How do you make love workWill you still remember me, will you sing my song
Will you still remember me, will my heart stay strongHey Old Man

Lyrics
Don’t wanna walk away
I know that I can’t stay
You got me on the fence
There ain’t no making senseDo you wanna go back in time
Do you wanna set free your mind
There ain’t nothing that I can do
I still wanna make love to youI’m in a strange position
I’m in a strange positionohhh
How do we try and try
How do we say goodbye
You got me in a trance
You had me at first glanceDo you wanna go back in time
Do you wanna see the scene of the crime
There ain’t nothing that I can do
I still wanna make love to youI’m in a strange position
I’m in a strange positionI’m never over you
I’m never over you
I’m never over you
I’m never over you -
