Bat for lashes: Howl!

Bat for Lashes "Howl" a B-side to Trophy

Howl into the night
To the still of the dark
Shout into the silence
And etch out your bark
How angry you are
You won't take it anymore
And watch as the people run to your door

They heard your heart
They heard it well
And came to your assistance
In a humanitarian swell

Werewolf howl
Werewolf howl
Roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl
Werewolf howl

(Roar, scream, shriek)
Howl
(Yip, yowl)
Howl
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek)
Howl
(Yip, yowl)
(Werewolf)

They came from the sky
They came from the fields
They rode in on sinking boats
Rented their gloves and coats

They heard your heart
They heard it well
And came to your assistance
In a humanitarian swell

Werewolf howl
Werewolf howl
Roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl
Werewolf howl

(Roar, scream, shriek)
Howl
(Yip, yowl)
Howl
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek)
Howl
(Yip, yowl)

(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl)
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl)
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl)
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl)
(Werewolf)
(Werewolf)

Thanks again for posting this & splicing B4L's beautifully barking & crazily catchy song with your brilliantly chosen pics. Just thought I should suggest one slight amendment to your listed lyrics: reckon the line after 'They rode in on sinking boats' is actually 'Ran in their gloves and coats'. Makes more sense in the context IMAO; plus Natasha (a Brit from Brighton, round the corner from my home town incidentally) wouldn't pronounce 'rented' to rhyme with 'ranted'. Hope I'm not ranting here!

To quote Lugosi's Dracula on hearing the wolves howling: "The children of the night, such sweet music they make!". This rare gem of a song confirms Natasha Khan's status as a spiritual child of the night, not to mention astounding singer / songwriter of course. Love the weirdly beautiful juxtaposition of comforting yet melancholic strings during the chorus. Is she (or we for that matter) more the angry wolf or loving 'humanitarian swell'? Thanks for this & the suitably atmospheric gothic images!
