It's about time Their records reveal themselves the longer you listen to them.

Off to see them in leeds on Tuesday, am as excitable as a small puppy chasing an andrex toilet roll.

American Mary

give my jewels to the army, my silverware and jeans

give my love to your family; tell them anything.

give yourself to anyone; give yourself away

don't be a nightingale for anyone's space to fill.

if i could, i'd be your star again

fall across your falling sky...



it takes a lot of little rain to make you feel like nothing.

anything, anything you can do, do to me for everything i did for you

nothing.

i didn't try to take your love away

i just never knew i had it...



there is nothing you can say to ever make me want you

american

there is nothing you can say to ever make me leave you

american.



american mary.



if you kiss me, kiss me with your silver eyes

don't look at me like someone you don't recognize

i didn't try to do this.

your arms around my shoulderblades

are useless.



there is nothing you can say to ever make me want you

american

there is nothing you can say to ever make me leave you

american.

Genius

Listen to The national here



Any views expressed by Diccus are not for profit and the result of an obsessive/compulsive disorder attached specifically to The national. There is no treatment. Beware.

i must be in the minority then.....i think they are very average...runs for cover !!

Scotty aims 'average' comment at a group of fervent 'National' baseball fans



The fan's however got their own back later with a DSOTM bonfire

Needs more in depth listen but my initial thoughts were "what's all the fuss about" ordinary American rock. Sorry!

Yup, the longer you wait the more they Reveal

From All the Wine

I'm put together beautifully
Big wet bottle in my fist, big wet rose in my teeth
I'm perfect piece of ass
Like every Californian
So tall I take over the street, with highbeams shining on my back
A wingspan unbelievable
I'm a festival, I'm a parade

Highlights of The National at Glasto possibly not displayed here, but they might turn up you never know.
