Love gather your rosebuds while you may
'Cause once the night arrives it's here to stay
Love gather your rosebuds while you may
'Cause the end is coming but it's okay

We know there's
We know there's no turning back
And the road ahead
The road ahead is burned to black
Love gather your rosebuds while you may
'Cause once the night arrives it's here to stay
Love gather your rosebuds while you may
'Cause the end is coming but it's okay

We're on the train with
We're on the train with no name
We're on the train with
We're on the train with no name, no name

We know there's
We know there's no turning back
No that road behind us
And the road ahead is burned to black

Love gather your rosebuds while you may
'Cause once the night arrives it's here to stay
Love gather your rosebuds while you may
'Cause the end is coming but it's okay

We're on the train with
We're on the train with no name
We're on the train with
We're on the train with no name, I know we're

We're on the train with
We're on the train with no name
We're on the train with
We're on the train with no name, no name

Always think this is Lord Huron, then "oh, yeah - the Veils". Great to dance around with when doing tedious housework-y crap.

Gawd with this song. Make it stop! As if the The Shins didn't get so annoying with their precision nervousness that you want to kick 'em out of the house and to the institution and/or street, whichever comes first. This band is like a dull-knifed The Shins. On a good day. 



Or you're on the wrong station. Try the Mellow mix or PSD or Pandora Dave Mathews Band. His "precision dullness" might suit you. 

Oh no wait!! Alt-J: Precision Limpness!

I like this. Yes, I can see how you could lump it in with a lot of modern radio rock, of the time, but there's actually a bit more to it than meets the eye. Quality stuff. With a pedigree like they have, no wonder!

The lyrics, the album cover, and my current situation is the SF/Bay Area is making this song resonate more so than usual.
 
It does seem like the Bay Area is figuratively burning down. I'm about to move up there as it happens. It's probably a stupid idea....

I take it as a strong suggestion to PRAY THE ROSARY every day while you can... otherwise, you know you're just on a (train wreck) path burned to black!  Take heed!  Hail Mary...  

I'll lay bets that Bill knows what I'm talking about...  he just followed this song with some U2 "Until the End of the World".    ....  Yup.   Get your soul ready!!!   God Bless everyone.   123

The lyrics are a little melancholy, but so is the poem upon which they are loosely based.

If sounding like U-2 is what this band has set out to do, they accomplished their goal. Like U-2, I don't care for them very much. Wimpy and whiney.

Wow.  First time I've heard this song, or anything from this band.  Had to stop and listen.  Good stuff.

Fatalistic, anti- wake up call on climate change, et al? I have more hope in the folks including myself taking action to change course than this ... But love this song beside the point when I feel low ... Then I remember hope ... Doh! :)

Aren't they a bit long in the tooth to be 'promising'? I saw then over 10 years ago and they weren't a new band then! This is their fourth album I think (assuming I have them all) and theirs at least a couple of EPs too...

Love the song and John William Waterhouse too
Posted 10 years ago by Sloggydog    [ Reply ]
I only knew John Waterhouse's "Lady of Shallot" and couldn't have told you that he painted it. Love the "Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May" painting, zepher. Here's another Waterhouse: 

painting by John William Waterhouse: "The Soul of the Rose"
