Biography:
Said the Whale is a Canadian band formed in 2007 as a collaboration between songwriters Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft. The pair’s debut EP, Taking Abalonia, featured sunny west coast indie pop, with breezy harmonies, shimmering guitars and lyrical tributes to their home city of Vancouver, “nodding at times to the sea shanties of Neutral Milk Hotel and at others to the boat-shoe-gazing of Vampire Weekend” said The National Post. In 2008, the album was re-released as Howe Sounds/Talking Abalonia

Song: Lady Hourglass, Your Head's on Fire!
Artist: Said the Whale
Album: Howe Sounds/Taking Albonia
Am
Am
Come lady hourglass,
Dm
Take me by the hand
F
I'll shower you with gifts,
Em
If you'll just make the hard times pass
Am
You're tall and blue and crystalline,
Dm
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
F
In this ancient battle against time,
Em
We're bound to make a mark
Am
We gotta get some weight on that tiny waist,
Dm
Yeah, open up that little space
F
With chocolate covered lollipops,
Em
And all that stuff
Am
We'll break the spirits of the sand,
Dm
In every hourglass of the land
F
Sand's rushing to your feet,
Em
Just like your head's on fire
Dm
Your head's on fire!
Am
Your head's on fire!
Dm
Your head's on fire!
Am C
Your head's on fire!

Am
Am
Now it's been seven years inside a month
Dm
And I think I our plan, it worked too much
F
Cause yesterday I woke up
Em
And my life was gone
Am
My hair is grey, my skin is tough
Dm
I'm wrinkled and my voice is rough
F
Tell me lady hourglass,
Em
What went wrong?
Dm
"Boy, you gave me lollipops
F
And chocolate covered lemon drops
C
My waist it grew, the sand it dropped
G
And time flew by
Dm
With every single grain of sand
F
That passes through my crystal hands
C
A child is born, a boy's a man
G
This you have to understand
Dm
So play the cards that you were dealt
F
No matter if you're feeling well
C
The best will come around to you
G
The best will come, the best will come
Dm F
C
The best will come around to you
G
Even if your head's on fire"
Dm
Your head's on fire!
Am
Your head's on fire!
Dm
Your head's on fire!
Am C
Your head's on fire!
