Sparklehorseare a rock musicgroup led by singer and multi-instrumentalist Mark Linkous. Essentially, Linkous isSparklehorse (in much the same way that Bill Callahan is Smog). Linkous records much of Sparklehorse's material in his home studio, and his vision (primarily "one of haunted beauty", wrote Kevin Caulfield [1]) guides Sparklehorse. Drummer and multi-instrumentalist Scott Minoris a frequent collaborator. Much of Sparklehorse's music has an introspective, melancholy feel, which Linkous credits to a chemical imbalance.

The Hatchet Song Lyrics

Sparklehorse

Theres too much confusion today
How can I assure its to shy away
And he blew his brains out with a pistol I say
To cover his arse or make a point someway
Meet me on
Lonely street
Meet me on
Lonely street
Now
Stabbed me in the back you know she threw a hatchet
Buried in my chest when I turned to catch it
And my lucky days are stuck in quarantine
I thought I got some kind of warranty
Meet me on
Lonely street
Meet me on
Lonely street
Meet me on
Lonely street
Meet me on
Lonely street
