The Jezabels

The Jezabels are an Australian indie rock band formed in Sydney in 2007. They consist of Hayley Mary (born Hayley Frances McGlone) on lead vocals, Heather Shannon on piano and keyboard, Nik Kaloper on drums and percussion, and Samuel Lockwood on lead guitar. They have described their genre as "intensindie" but later said that this was just a joke that they put up on a social networking site, though people took them seriously. From 2009 to 2010 the group issued a trilogy of extended play (EP) recordings, The Man Is Dead, She's So Hard and Dark Storm—all produced and engineered by Lachlan Mitchell. Two of their releases have reached the ARIA Singles Chart Top 40: the Dark Storm EP (October 2010) and their single "Endless Summer" (August 2011). They released the… more »

Oh my love is that a vulture?
Don't tell me it's a vulture
Standing beside you
Do you see your own face in his eyes?
Do you see him like I do?
I used to be that, when you said you believed it,
I would believe it too.
It used to be that, when you said you were leaving,
I'd want to follow you,
But never where the dogs bark
And I remember praying at the dinner table
For you to come around,
Maybe pat me on the back,
When you're able
Now I've a dream of you with half a face
And you take me to a rooftop and skin me,
Come on, Abel, are you going to skin me?
And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark,
When the shadow of the moon won't do,
Because on you, the moon is but a pearl,
Stolen from your mother's bedside,
The day you came into the world.
And still now I can hear the dogs bark.
And I remember praying at the dinner table,
For you to come around,
Maybe pat me on the back
When you're able
Whole cities light up,
But nothing can compare to you, baby.
So I stay waiting,
Laying on the dinner table,
Waiting for you to hurt me
Come on, Abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me.
Come on, Abel, cut me, cut me, serve me ('round the table).
And now it's laying on the table, waiting for you on the table
To carve it up and watch the spray go across the river-bed,
And sweet aromas fill the halls from all the bodies that came before
And that's the body I swear that's the body
I remember, was laying on the dinner table
When you came around, said, "You'll be doing fine when you're able."
Oh whole cities light up,
But nothing can compare to you, baby.
So I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table.
Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me,
Cut me, cut me, serve me.
