I'll Write You A Song
02:29
|
|||
|
I'll write you a song / a really tasteful song
But you tell me what you want the song to be about.
We can make it loud / or we can keep it down
It's up to you / it's your song but I'll work it out.
We can make it moody / or we can make it fun
We can make it gloomy and then pick it up
I'll write you a song / a really tasteful song
But you tell me what you want the song to be about.
We can even lash out / and make the language strong
We can write a love song / or just ask them out
You’re the seed / I’m the ground
and I’ve been around
Water me / that is free
but you’ve got the sun in your bank account
I'll write you a song / a really tasteful song
But you tell me what you want the song to be about

Love Mine
03:40
|
|||
|
She don’t mind
that I have an overactive mind
She is cool, calm and kind
And she don’t care
that I spend a lot of time on my hair
She is fun, yet firm but always fair
He don’t mind
when I talk about third eyes
and he ain’t ’t scared to cry
He don’t stare
at all the pretty girls walking by
He’s unaware because he’s all mine
This time
everything feels fine
We’re not even tryin’
Did we step on a love mine?
We make due
with music, nature, sex and food
We don’t live to consume
And we speak up
when something feels fucked up
We seek truth, peace and love
This time
everything feels fine
We’re not even tryin’
Did we step on a love mine?
If in time
we lose our minds
play this song to see if it reminds
And if we bend
or if we break
at least we’ll know that heaven does exist
This time
everything feels fine
We’re not even tryin’
Did we step on a love mine?

Spay And Neuter

You see too many
We be flakey
Take your pet to low cost vet
And treat your hood like humans should
Spay and neuter
Spay and neuter
Decreased risk for
Cancer, asshole
Take your pet to low cost vet
And treat your hood like humans should
Spay and neuter
Spay and neuter
Take your pet to low cost vet
And treat your hood like humans should
Spay and neuter
Spay and neuter
Spay and neuter
Spay and neuter

Wealthy Man
03:42
|
|||
|
He sailed all the way ‘cause he don’t like planes
and for 10 straight days, he couldn’t keep a thing down
Leaning, retching, kneeling, retching
When he arrived, he bore a slight resemblance to
Johnny Thunders in the 70’s
He said, “Soon these birds and lads will sing along with me.”
The stage was set but the room was dead
and the gear didn’t work without a converter
Unplugged, acoustic rock-n-roll show
for one drunk Irish man
who said he grew up with Van Morrison
after he suggested adding girls or horns
Lo and behold / whoa ohh ohh
A fighter knows what he knows / but
If he could understand why none of his punches land
he’d be a wealthy man
One more show, it was a 2 city tour
He told his friends back home that there were at least 2 more
London, Bristol, Leicester, Liverpool
Lo and behold / whoa ohh ohh
A fighter knows what he knows / but
If he could understand why none of his punches land
he’d be a wealthy man

Let's Try
03:15
|
|||
|
All hands on deck
It's time to reflect
on where we begin and where this ends
Are we just a season
Or is there a reason
why we make love / but then we push and shove
Some say it's just a game
Some think that that's insane
But what if we are on a ride
designed to open minds and to learn to be kind?
Let's try
We will disagree
And there will be crime
Something's gonna give but we will laugh and we will cry
Live and die
And I know it's not easy
to not want to be Cesar
But I also know that the air is cleaner the higher we go
Slay your ego
Some say it's just a game
Some think that that's insane
But what if we are on a ride
designed to open minds and to learn to be kind?
Let's try

Let Us Not Be Fools
03:17
|
|||
|
Hallowed ground, hallowed ground
It’s all fucking hallowed ground
Can’t you see, can’t you see
we’re dancing on the same mound?
Molecules, molecules
with very, very fancy tools
We can be one
or we can be fools
Hallowed ground, hallowed ground
It’s all fucking hallowed ground
Can’t you see, can’t you see
we’re dancing on the same mound?
Molecules, molecules
with very, very fancy tools
We can be one
or we can be fools
Let us not be fools
Let us not be fools
It matters not the vessel but the intention of the vessel
Let us not be fools
It matters not the vessel but the intention of the vessel
Let us not be
Lazy
Hearts before hands
It doesn't matter who you prey to, it's time to do what you were meant to do
We can be one
or we can be fools
Let us not be fools
Let us not be fools
It matters not the vessel but the intention of the vessel
Let us not be fools
It matters not the vessel but the intention of the vessel
Let us not be fools
It matters not the vessel but the intention of the vessel
Let us not be fools
It matters not the vessel but the intention of the vessel
Let us not be fools
It matters not the vessel but the intention of the vessel
Let us not be fools

50 Years Late
02:40
|
|||
|
The plasticine poetry is killing them dead
The room doesn't care, it's got overhead
The antiques look pretty. No, the tele’s not fake
I have seen this all before
My it sounds great but you're fifty years late
Whiskey, torn britches and earth color tones
Songs about being out on the road
Cigarette placement like Keith from the Stones
I have seen this all before
My it looks great but you’re fifty years late
Destination known with shitty beer in tow
I'd rather be alone than be a No Depression clone
Cosmic or outlaw, they're as dead as Rome
The least you could do is take out a new loan.
Please don’t colorize The Last Picture Show
I have seen this all before
Man it looks fake when you’re fifty years late

Eastwood Park
04:05
|
|||
|
California was not meant to be and the East Coast set just laughed at me
But what if maybe I was being led back to this town (when I thought it was dead)
to make sense
of what it means
to have success?
I was searching for another mess
I was walking straight but soulless
It's only when you think you know the rest that someone stumps you with a simple test
You gave a fool a second chance
to have success
I was aiming at the wrong thing
Mesmerized by the thought of a crowd in every major market town
You came in with your looks and kindness
Slipped right through my defense that was built on a stage of emptiness
I was wrong and you taught me a different song
I was walking around Eastwood Park when the lights came on in this whole damn town
I passed the test and you are the fruit
of my success

I Don't Want Severance
04:45
|
|||
|
Waiting patiently for you
It's true
Something's missing and I can tell
We'd gel
I’m not young but i’m still crazy and I’m not done making old mistakes
I am strong and I can bear
what's fair
But something sweet is in the air
Don't be scared
I’m not young but i’m still crazy and I’m not done making old mistakes
I’m not young but i’m still crazy and I’m not done making old mistakes
But
I'm in love
I've been saved
I'm in love
Like a stray
I'm in love
I can see the fence
I'm in love
And I don't want severance
So much fun without babies; we can leave anytime. It’s crazy.
But you can’t be dumb, can’t be lazy. This takes work, this takes a lot of safety
I'm in love
I've been saved
I'm in love
Like a stray
I'm in love
I can see the fence
I'm in love
And I don't want severance
I'm in love
I've been saved
I'm in love
And I don't want severance
I don't want severance
I don't want severance
I don't want severance

We Are The Rat
02:03
|
|||
|
Oh yeah ya walked in waving your thing around and we dismissed your thing like a paper cut. I don't think it's simply about the money ‘cause you flinch just when there's nothing coming.
I think we just bought a Pinto and backed into our own fucking egos. Now we push and pull to shed all the wool, man. I don't understand.
It takes a real light touch to not screw the pooch. I'll take a real soft hand instead of a brand
We are the rat, mmmmm
We are the rat
Oh no, you can't make a joke now but are we not more than a pronoun? Have we become just like the ones that belittled us? I see the enemy and it's lust.
I think we might be infected with what was once expected. Now we swing for the fences each time we step in, aiming at everything
It takes a real light touch to not screw the pooch. I'll take a real soft hand instead of a brand
We are the rat, mmmmm
We are the rat, mmmmm

So You Say
05:10
|
|||
|
So you say, so you say
Or is it just because I’m far away?
Images stimulate but could the enemy be
a jet plane?
I can feel it in my brains, calculate it in my veins
We are seasoned with heartache
Let’s not treat this like some game
Lullabies, pretty eyes
But, lover what must I compromise?
Hearts they race, lips they taste
but how much time before the picture fades?
I can feel it in my brains, calculate it in my veins
We are seasoned with heartache
Let’s not treat this like some game
I can feel it in my brains, calculate it in my veins
We are seasoned with heartache
Let’s not treat this like some game

Upside Down
03:02
|

|
You move me
like candy
You kill me then you turn my frown
upside down
Upside down
Look at, look at, look at my screen I mean have you ever seen such a thing?
Whatcha, whatcha doin next week? Let’s speak all the way through another show
Hey oh
Let’s go
You move me
like candy
You kill me then you turn my frown
upside down
Upside down
You tell me, tell me, tell me that I’m great, not fake. Just wait, one day I’ll catch that break
And you gimme, gimme, gimme your hard earned money
for doing something that to me comes easy
You feed me
and you
You move me
like candy
You kill me then you turn my frown
upside down
Upside down

Clear
03:33
|
|||
|
What if I told you that I visited the afterlife?
Would you tell me that it was all in my mind?
'Cause last night, I broke through for the first time
I made amends with the light
And now I know / where we all go / when we leave this scary place we thought was home.
They taught us wrong, from a place of fear. It's now my job to make this clear.
It's like the air was sucked out of the room along with my pride.
From there I was taken to the other side
Oh last night, I broke through for the first time
I made friends with some lights
And now I know / where we all go / when we leave this scary place we thought was home
They taught us wrong, from a place of fear. It's now my job to make this clear.

Orange Stain
03:34
|
|||
|
Two in the picture and one in the frame
We were a float in an emotional parade but I stayed
Thought I was empty with just a brain
but you left an orange stain inside my ribcage,
I’m afraid
Now I’m kneeling every time I hear your name
and nothing’s bright enough to wash away your face
I will never be as strong as you, my friend
And I will never comprehend what happened
I was a handful and you were the hand
but I was a soldier at your every command, that’s not so bad
Was I a letdown or was I a snack?
Why did you tell me all those things and then turn back?
I want to understand
Now I’m kneeling every time I hear your name
and nothing’s bright enough to wash away your face
I will never be as strong as you, my friend
And I will never comprehend what happened
Now I’m kneeling every time I hear your name
and nothing’s bright enough to wash away your face
I will never be as strong as you, my friend
And I will never comprehend what happened

I can't seem to make up my mind
if we are doomed or if we're not
but I finally slept last night
You scare me like an atomic bomb
And you disappoint me like a high school prom
but I finally slept last night
Yes, I finally slept last night
If we are meant to go away
I can say it's been a lovely stay
because I finally slept last night
Yes, I finally slept last night.

Martin's Song
02:56
|
|||
|
I once made a new friend and his name was Greg Allman
But I didn't know who he was
And that seemed to please him cause he wanted me to see them go play some blues rock-n-roll. Ohohoh
He asked me to meet him by the bus at 6pm to roll to the show with the band
So I went home to research this generous small ego then I couldn't wait for the show
Aww, man. I'm with the band.
On the way to the show we just sat there and listened as he spoke about Duane and what his kids were christened
Michael, Delilah and Cher's kid, Elijah
Then he said when you love something so
The butterflies know
Event coordinators, cops and caretakers scrambling before the show
And I know this man didn't have no damn halo but that night I saw something glow
It was a hell of a show

Upward Social Mobility
03:45
|
|||
|
I'm on the fence and I want to get down
I don't want to be the one fucking around
I want to make sense of the way that you dress
‘cause I'm in the boat with everyone else
And I've worked so hard to see some upward social mobility
I feel like Andrew McCarthy
in Pretty in Pink but old and grey
It's between you and upward social mobility
I am a 6 and you are a 10
But I take you traveling often
Your family has never left the county
My family doesn't know you're with me
And I've worked so hard to see some
upward social mobility
I feel like Andrew McCarthy
in Pretty in Pink but old and grey
It's between you and upward social mobility
And I've worked so hard to see some
upward social mobility
I feel like Andrew McCarthy
in Pretty in Pink but old and grey
It's between you and upward social mobility

I'm With You Right Now
02:08
|
|||
|
To the murdered, to the raped, to all the casualties of hate
To the sick and to the maimed when someone else is to blame
To the ill and to the wounded where no human intruded
To the ones at death's door; early or late but pleading for more
To the cold and to the hungry, in poor and rich countries
To those grieving great loss and still pondering the cause
To the betrayed, to the enraged and to those who are just afraid
To the awkward and misrepresented who are consistently rejected
To the lost with no sense of control and to those who just feel the emptiness of being alone
To the anxious or frustrated and to those who feel naked
To the low self-esteems and creators of bad day dreams
And to the average Jane or Joe who just stubbed their toe
I’m with you right now
I’m with you right now
As much as I’m allowed
I’m with you right now

Golden Bamboo
04:10
|
|||
|
What do you see when you're looking with your eyes closed?
Nothing new.
What do you feel like when you're doing what you should do?
Like golden bamboo
What do you know about the voice that's always in your head?
Silver or lead?
What do you feel like when you learn how to use this tool?
Like golden bamboo
Only we can make things better for ourselves

A Little Happy
04:16
|
|||
|
You're as pretty as the car that I wanted when I was just a little boy.
And I don't mean a toy
You're as gentle as a first time. You’re a Christmas gift
but I can’t seem to make it fit. I must be really sick.
I swear I’m not a prick.
But I am foolish to leave.
Could I be afraid to be a little happy?
I’m as old as the tv set with a record player and a record cabinet; the one with all the dents.
I’m as lost as the innocence that was once possessed by a
porno actress from Kansas, raised in summer dresses.
And I am foolish to leave.
Could I be afraid to be a little happy?
It’s the cracks right beneath the break
and the stakes that we calculate
that make me lose faith in everything safe.
But I want to kiss your face.
And I am foolish to leave.
Could I be afraid to be a little happy?

When It's No Fun
03:52
|
|||
|
I am afraid of being the same person that I was yesterday.
'Cause yesterday I took the bait and I squandered all my gains.
So here I lay like it's the 1st day; brown kid, white school, 5th grade.
This is lame
I'm afraid
Shoot your demons in the gut and throw their bodies in the rut.
Fill yourself with only love and
remember me, remember me
when it's no fun
when it's no fun
I make the bed like the living dead.
I brush my teeth 'cause Shane MacGowan, you creep
And I can't tell if you are real or if you are just a spell.
I'm not well
But I tend to oversell
Shoot your demons in the gut and throw their bodies in the rut.
Fill yourself with only love and
remember me, remember me
Shoot your demons in the gut and throw their bodies in the rut.
Fill yourself with only love and
remember me, remember me
when it's no fun
when it's no fun

Big Dumb Sea
02:30
|
|||
|
When you were a toddler, I had a half-assed plan
When you were a teen, I really hated teens
And now I’m a monster but i can’t make you scream
or even make you have bad dreams
Let’s go sailing across this big dumb sea
I can make you just as bad as me
When you were a baby, I quit the soccer team
I took Kung Fu and started selling weed
When I was a kid, I never thought I’d be
this damn grouchy or this damn lucky
Let’s go sailing across this big dumb sea
I can make you just as bad as me
When you’re much older, you can scatter me
along the edge of any stupid sea
I’ll wait for you and we can be babies
This time I’ll make more money

Something's in my eyes again
And I can't seem to find my friend
It won't be long now
Stay focused and calm down
On my children's lives, I swear
This ain't easy but it's fair
I don't believe in
original sin
I can hear the sound
Things are turning around
right now
But what if there’s no paradise
and we are just head lice?
And what if there’s no magic?
I can hear the sound
Things are turning around
right now
I can hear the sound
Things are turning around
right now

Have you ever heard of Gastroparesis?
It’s a tough condition
Your stomach moves slower than a season
to absorb nutrition.
The doctors don’t really know the reason
It’s a mystery
But in the meantime five million people are suffering
Everyday this thing gets in the way
They hope and pray for better days
Have you ever heard of Gastroparesis?
It’s a cross to bear
Your body slowly falls to pieces
You need smaller clothes to wear
‘cause the food that you eat comes back to meet you
mostly before the nutrition that you need from the food to feed you
has been absorbed
Everyday this thing gets in the way
They hope and pray for better days
Have you ever heard of Gastroparesis?
It’s a tough condition
Your stomach moves slower than a season
to absorb nutrition.
Have you ever heard of Gastroparesis?
It’s a cross to bear
If you want to help five million people
let them know that you’re aware

How much within?
And how much leaks out?
How many days since the last shout?
I'm counting breaths in
then breaths out
The politics of calming down
The politics of calming down
A victory
Massive to me
The senses push away reality
I'm counting breaths in
then breaths out
I'm holding
longer now
I'm feeling
The politics of calming down
The politics of calming down
How much within?
And how much leaks out?
How many days since the last doubt?
I'm counting breaths in
then breaths out
I'm holding
longer now
I'm feeling
good somehow
The politics of calming down
The politics of calming down
The politics of calming down

Summer's gone away

But we can never stay.

It Would Be So
03:38
|

|
It would be so wonderful if I could be alone
without you blowing kisses with your ghost
I'll always love you but please let me go
I'll always love you but please let me go
It would be so tragic if I were in the ground
still listening to your patronizing sounds
Pretend you love me and please let me go
I'll always love you but please let me
I could have been the affordable toy
spinning only for you
But now that it's through, I no longer trust you
And I won't be your fool
It would be so wonderful if I could be alone
without you blowing kisses with your ghost
I'll always love you but please let me go
I'll always love you but please let me go

We Are Not Done
02:57

No one's ever going to save your heart from itself
Only you can change the weather
Heads are falling, we are stalling
Lift them up, lift them to a place above 'cause
we, we are not done. We, we are not done.
In the middle of a fabrication, what's the point?
What's the point of being so direct?
At the bottom, now you've got 'em
Don't be less. Don't forget that you are blessed 'cause we,
we are not done. We, we are not done.
No one's ever going to save your heart from itself
Only you can change the weather
Heads are falling, we are stalling
Lift them up, lift them to a place above 'cause
we, we are not done.

Cruel Promised Land
05:03
|
|||
|
I notice that the pour is weak
I wonder if it's time for me to leave
But I don't feel
I don't feel like being alone
once again
I want some rest
The kind you only get
next to someone else
who sees the beautiful mess
The doors are closing
but there's some of us still
hoping for a chance to break a heart
even if it's just our own
Will no one take us by the hand
and lead us to this cruel promised land
I'd like to swim with pretty eyes
but I'm choking on my own disguise
Why can't I be?
Why can't I be what someone needs
tonight?
I want some rest
The kind you only get
next to someone else
who sees the beautiful mess
The doors are closing
but there's some of us still
hoping for a chance to break a heart
even if it's just our own
Will no one take us by the hand
and lead us to this cruel promised land
I don't understand
I don't got the moves
And I see too many rules
I want some rest
The kind you only get
next to someone else
who sees the beautiful mess
The doors are closing
but there's some of us still
hoping for a chance to break a heart
even if it's just our own
Will no one take us by the hand
and lead us to this cruel promised land

Your Disease
02:13
|

|
I can see that you are breathing through your mouth
It’s unappealing
But please make yourself at home
I’m just the one who’s pouring your disease
Oxidation at a faster pace
You’re making everyone around you doubt you
Lines are long and baby, lines are facial
Lining in your stomach’s failing to protect you from yourself
Here’s that drink, now transfer wealth
But please make yourself at home
I’m just the one who’s pouring your disease

You And Me

Window’s closing, so they say
but I’m too busy whistling
Come with me, there’s more to see
and less to make you weary
You can bring a friend
but you’ll both have to pack lightly
One, two, three
Step with me
And don’t forget to breathe
Four more chords
just to see what’s in store for you
and me
Waiting patiently, so sweet
This is the invitation
Can you reach and can you leap?
Can you just be happy?
If you’re gonna be
then be the kind you want to be
One, two, three
Step with me
And don’t forget to breathe
Four more chords
just to see what’s in store for you
and me
Canvass open, brush is clean
Stain it with your biggest dreams
One, two, three
Step with me
And don’t forget to breathe
Four more chords
just to see what’s in store for you
and me

I'm Not Falling For You
04:35
|
|||
|
I’m just a lonely boy but I’ve got a few toys
And I’ve got eyes for you
I’m just a fool that bleeds for all the girls to see
How much they mean to me
I was in love once
but that was long ago
I’m much too strong now to be falling for you
I’m not the kind of man to make that kind of plan
But can I hold your hand?
I am the teardrop, I am the good cop
I’ll never float the flop
I was in love once
but that was long ago
I’m much too strong now
I’m not falling for you
I’m not falling for you
I am a lonely girl in a material world
I never pay for shit
I get the weak man to pay the bar tab
because I know I can
I was in love once
but that was long ago
I’m much too strong now to be falling for you
I am the kind of girl who gets a good referral
because I like to twirl
That’s not to say that I will swallow any lies
or make a compromise
I was in love once
but that was long ago
I’m much too strong now
I’m not falling for you
I’m not falling for you
Baby, you can stay with me but only for tonight
I don’t need a lover, I just need a little favor

Flames
Beautiful blue flames
That see
what I can't always see
I find
something new each time
And I don't mind
if it can't be defined
But oh, my my
They are warm
when I am cold
They don’t seem
capable of harm
But I can’t read ‘em sometimes
So I look away ‘cause they’re just way too bright
But my shame still
can't put out those flames. Will
I ever learn it?
They will always stay lit.
And I’m a spreader
of catastrophic render
But the blue flames rise
against the inclement weather
I don’t know why
They are warm
when I am cold
They don’t seem
capable of harm
But I can’t read ‘em sometimes
So I look away ‘cause they’re just way too bright
like sunlight
They are warm
when I am cold
They don’t seem
capable of harm
But I can’t read ‘em sometimes
So I look away ‘cause they’re just way too bright

We were just kickin’
Then I saw you laughin’
I got your name
Upstairs at the bar
After the game
Then Christmas came
And I had to wait
To see your lovely face
Again at that same bar
I thought long and hard
So I searched for you online
And you were jumpin’ fire
I threw my arms up in the air
When I saw you there next time
I knew you’d be mine
July 3rd, 2017 is when the stars aligned
I swear I adore you, my Ria Bear
Ember and Kaeden
Hear what I’m sayin’
We’re lucky ducks
‘Cause your Mom is amazin’
So now we travel
Romance and dazzle
Ocean views, concerts
And great big canyons
We fly like the wind
And we ain’t scared
To see what’s around the bend
I threw my arms up in the air
When I saw you there
I knew you’d be mine
July 3rd, 2017 is when the stars aligned
I swear I adore you, my Ria Bear
I threw my arms up in the air
When I saw you there
I knew you’d be mine
July 3rd, 2017 is when the stars aligned
I swear I adore you, my Ria Bear
My Ria Bear, my Ria Bear
My Ria Bear, my Ria Bear

Happy Mother's Day
02:11
|

I was a little when you took me by the hand and
helped me to understand
the power of the written word and what could be learned
And then we formed a club where we would discuss books
and cultivate what would ultimately become how I would find my way
So happy Mother’s day
You made us who we are today
When brother went away to serve with the brave
you wrote him ever single day
And you ended every letter with the following phrase:
“Remember who you are and whose you are.” Now he lives his life this way
Knowing that you’ll always be there; even if we fail
So happy Mother’s day
You made us who we are today
You taught us strength but you also danced
You had high kicks that were choreographed. You make us laugh
In every single way. We try hard to be like you
To do our best at everything we do. Mom, we love you.
So happy Mother’s Day

54 and waiting by the phone
For someone to come
And throw a little bone
How did I get here? Was it fear?
Was it something that I did
Or is it time to disappear?
Oh no
Don’t go
Back down
To Hell
You were really doing so well
So much for the times that I told
My good friends that were low
Numbers are for show
‘Cause no response and no validation
Just killed my motivation
And my dwindling patience
Don’t take
Any-
thing per-
sonally
What is real is not what you see
What is real is not what you see
What is real is not what you see
What is real is not what you see

Sienta la energia

Wendy please
Can I come over?
I wanna get older with you,
my dear
You make my fear
You make my fear disappear
when you kiss my ear
And you get tough
when I get weird
Wendy please
Can we hit the road?
I wanna be alone with you
on a beach
I think I can reach
I think I can reach my peak
with you next to me
‘Cause when you smile
I’m no longer weak
Wendy please
Wendy please

I’m in love with a stripper
She dancin’ on my ticker
But if you see her you should tip her
‘cause she always pays for dinner
I’m in love with a stripper
I’m in love with a stripper
Yeah, I’m in love with a stripper
She dancin’ on my ticker
I hope she’s not a hooker
But if she is you can fuck her
for getting me to trust her
I’m in love with a stripper
I’m in love with a stripper
She dancin’ on my ticker
I’m in love with a stripper
If you see her you should tip her
Yeah she’s kinda tacky
But man she makes me so happy
I’m in love with a stripper
And she dancin’ on my ticker
And all her kisses taste sweet
but half of ‘em smell like liquor

September, two thousand twelve
We met when things weren’t well
But we build a fortress
Where we could dwell
Through thick and thin we would win
The best lover and my best friend
Eyes, legs and a backside
That make me grin
And like an oak we grow
We’ll be together
When we’re old
I knew when I saw you
This would be true
I am the sun
You are the stars
My beautiful Crystal
Your smile and your love
Energy lift all of us daily
So when we’re apart
There’s an ache in my heart
And when the darkness descends
Only you make the nightmares end
You are an angel
And you always defend
Oh like an oak we grow
We’ll be together
When we’re old
I knew when I saw you
This would be true
I am the sun
You are the stars
My beautiful Crystal
My beautiful Crystal
I am the sun
And you are
the brightest stars
I am the sun
And you are
the brightest stars

Did you spot me?
Or did I spot you?
It doesn’t matter much
One and one is two
Three days in Amsterdam.
Then back to England
I could’ve played it cool but
We traveled to Istanbul
You took a leap of
Faith and came to see
If the fairy tale
Was meant to be
Isabela, Isabela
I want to be
Your new family
And I have to tell you
That I’m a fellow
Who will always
Love and support you
Our wedding in Turkey
With your family
After you said yes to me
The best memories
From South America to
Europe and the Middle East
Or just cuddling in
Front of the TV
It’s always sublime when
It’s just the two us
This is our time
And this is a
Song for us
Isabela, Isabela
I want to be
Your new family
And I have to tell you
That I’m a fellow
Who will always
Love and support you
Oh Isabela, Isabela
I want to be
Your new family
And I have to tell you
That I’m a fellow
Who will always
Love and support you

The fix is in / there's no need
for the calculatin'
It's a con like a coupon
Enjoy the sun / walk or run but
can you love everyone?
That's the rub and it weighs
a ton
No, there are no mistakes
But you / can't walk the rake
Don't be afraid. You'll fall
But there's a happy end
You'll see, it won't be long
To some degree / you're a mark
if you live what you see
But there's a crew with a different view.
They don't dismiss and they don't laugh at what they don't understand
They are cool but they're not with the band
No, there are no mistakes
But you / can't walk the rake
Don't be afraid. You'll fall
But there's a happy end
You'll see, it won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long

I Want You To Know

Meet me in the parking
Lot I wrote to you
On a window with
My finger tip it’s true
And in this parking lot
Is where I fell for you
Those beautiful brown eyes
With gold rings played
My heart strings
I want you to know
That I won't let go
Because you're my best friend
And the one who helps me
To laugh, learn and grow
I want you to know
I want you to know
The best mom in the
World to a lovely little girl
And when you get tense
Your strength is the best defense
We've been through some
Things but you haven't
Lost your wings
And I still look in your
Eyes and get butterflies
I want you to know
That I won't let go
Because you're my best friend
And the one who helps me
To laugh, learn and grow
I won't let go
Because you're my best friend
And the one who helps me
To laugh, learn and grow
I want you to know

I will behave, I will be love
I will not crave, I will not shove
And I'll stay away when I see dumb
But I will share my very last crumb
I look above, I look below
Sometimes I fail to see the show
I look around, I look inside
I kiss the ground, I curse my pride
I will be strong but I will act meek
I'll kneel before every last word freak
And I'll think before I ever speak
Tell myself that we are all unique

The North East window is looking at me
What I think it sees is what I'm trying to not let lead me, see? But it ain't so easy.
The bathroom art is gently speaking to me
And what it says is also in the books that I read. But what I read doesn't always feed me.
Sometimes, when I am fed, I feel calm and brave
Semi-drowned, by a joyous wave that is
Until the fear revives me with the weight of a 109 billion graves
Or the sweat of a fabricated tax break
The dim wall unit light is my concerned friend in the middle of the night
that I turn away from
Only to turn back around and embrace him
The air purifier could be a liar
And the smoke detector just last night, ignored my fire
But I too am a liar
Oh, brother when I am fed, I feel calm and brave
Semi-drowned, by a joyous wave that is
Until the fear revives me with the weight of a 109 billion graves
Or the stench of 4.5 billion digital slaves

I can be the sun if you want me to
And you can be the shade if it makes you feel cool
I can be the sun if you want me to
And you can be the shade if it makes you feel cool

And you can be the shade if it makes you feel cool
I can be the sun if you want me to
And you can be the shade if it makes you feel cool
I can be the sun if you want me to
And you can be the shade if it makes you feel cool
I can be the sun if you want me to
And you can be the shade if it makes you feel cool
I can be the sun if you want me to
And you can be the shade if it makes you feel cool
But I'll be over here when it's longer fun, my love.

This old man
He takes his time
because he owns the land
This old man
He makes makes his living
executing other's plans
Year after year, there's less fear
of all the boos and the jeers
or the tears
Day after day there will be
brand new ways to forget yourself
It's a boomerang
It's just math, you can't get mad
It's a boomerang
It's the slowest goddamned dance
This old gal
She married young
now she's a lesbian
This old gal
She's sitting on the throne
so boys, behave yourselves
Year after year, there's less fear
of all the boos and the jeers
or the tears
Day after day there will be
brand new ways to forget yourself
It's a boomerang
It's just math, you can't get mad
It's a boomerang
It's the slowest goddamned dance
I am old
but I no longer curse the road
This old man
He isn't scared of what he can't understand

Let's Take LSD

We can run, we can seek
We can hide, we can weep
We have all the things we need
We are strong, we are weak
We are bold, we are meek
We’re as perfect as a leaf
I want to run with the jackals and then try on ascetic shackles
I want to wake up feeling like I’ve never been here before
I want the keys to the kingdom when the king gets stuck in traffic
I want to know what it’s like to adore Baltimore
But baby, baby lately I’m feeling shaky
Let’s take LSD
This world is crazy, crazy and sometimes shady
Let’s take LSD
It isn’t easy, it isn’t fun
to have to wake up
before the sun
I think of all the minions with no trace of opinions
Then I wonder what I ever did to deserve us
Oh baby, baby lately I’m feeling shaky
Let’s take LSD
This world is crazy, crazy and sometimes shady
Let’s take LSD
We can run, we can seek
We can hide, we can weep
We have all the things we need
We are strong, we are weak
We are bold, we are meek
We’re as perfect as a leaf

The sexier side of Power Pop. I thought that we were all geeks before this guy came on the scene. This is the best one since, Musicforthemorningafter in my opinion.

They probably don't identify as P-Pop but this record is poppy and powerful so they can eat it. And so can you if you listen to power pop and can't get into this record.
