Tony Tuthill Every track on this album is a favorite. BUT! PERMANENT was the one that inspired a cartoon video on YouTube dealing with an Ancient Aliens history from Sumerian Tablet Translations!

I'll Be Here Awake (free) 02:08
There's apparently / someone on to me It's so predictable / but still adorable And there's an elegance / it makes a little sense But if you stay with me / I'll make it poetry Take your "self" and lay it under me Don't think smart / I know you'd like to be Make the same mistake / I'll be here awake Train yourself to look a little appetizing And crave a little pain when no one's watching Make the same mistake / I'll be here awake And there's a kind of hate / that tastes like birthday cake All the worst in me / makes it sweet Then there's the fantasy / about you and me It's really nothing new / the other's had it too Take your "self" and lay it under me Don't think smart / I know you'd like to be Make the same mistake / I'll be here awake Train yourself to look a little appetizing And crave a little pain when no one's watching Make the same mistake / I'll be here all night

Permanent 02:53
We only see what we believe / but the rest is audible I can't believe what's happening Is it possible that you tell me what to say? If I say it, will you stay? Because I've only just begun to feel the way that you're supposed to feel When everything is happily in place I didn't mean to cause you any permanent pain Will you consider me? I feel forever young / I must be getting old You'd think I'd be among / the ones with self control I will somehow change if you tell me that you'll stay Because I've only just begun to feel the way that you're supposed to feel When everything is happily in place I didn't mean to cause you any permanent pain Will you consider me? Will you turn the other cheek? Will you just this once please sympathize with me? I didn't mean to cause you any permanent pain Will you consider me? Will you turn the other cheek? Will you just this once please sympathize with me?

Call Me 03:28
I'm in my clothes and I'm all alone I just woke up but no one knows I'll stay in bed / I'll go in late I'll take the chance or make other plans I'll pay the rent and ditch the phone I won't be home I'm still the same / I will not change I'll never be more than you see But if you need something / please call me The mail is in and the lights are out I'm in the dark but I see your doubt The stove is on 'cause the heater's not There's water in here but the plants are gone I'll pay the rest but fuck the phone I won't be home I'm still the same / I will not change I'll never be more than you see But if you need something / please call me

Here To Stay 05:15
I've been watching the fans rotate / I've been watching the leaflets turn I've been watching the plants even though they're fake And I've been thinking about the things I'll never learn I've been watching the stones below / I've been watching the moves they make I've been watching the faces that they'll never know And I've been thinking about what could be at stake So who in the hell got up and re-rung the bell? And tell me who am I fighting for? Or give me a hand because I really can't stand anymore And I'm bored But I'm here to stay / I'm here to stay / I'm here to stay / I'm here to stay I've been watching the insects work / I've been watching the lion's sleep I've been watching the redemption of Captain Kirk And I've been thinking about how they can't make me weep (not for free) So who in the hell got up and re-rung the bell? And tell me who am I fighting for? Or give me a hand because I really can't stand anymore And I'm bored But I'm here to stay / I'm here to stay / I'm here to stay / I'm here to stay I'm here to stay / I'm here to stay / I'm here to stay / I'm here to stay I'm here to stay / I'm here to stay / I'm here to stay / I'm here to stay

Face the grin when I'm here sober / taste the fist when I get pissed Made a wish and now it's over / took the blame but who to you turn to when The feeling is not so intense? It only hurts now and then The owner says I can stay / sleep is on the way So if you would, be gentle / say your name just one more time Take me home this will be simple / once again but who do you turn to when The feeling is not so intense? It only hurts now and then The owner says I can stay / sleep is on the way Sleep is on the way / sleep is on the way Once again but who do you turn to when The feeling is not so intense? It only hurts now and then The owner says I can stay / sleep is on the way Sleep is on the way / sleep is on the way

We used to dance all night and sleep all day Wake up and make love till sunlight Sunday It's been about one year since you left me I'd say that my weekends since have not been quite the same But I'll be OK Today I found someone who was just as lonely Someone who makes me feel like you once did Today I found someone who's gonna save me from ever missin you again And I'm going to save her too 'cause she looks like you We had so much in common, didn't we? We used to talk about all kinds of things I remember everything you said to me You made some promises that she's gonna keep So I'll be OK Today I found someone who was just as lonely Someone who makes me feel like you once did Today I found someone who's gonna save me from ever missin you again And I'm going to save her too 'cause she looks like you Today I found someone who was just as lonely Someone who makes me feel like you once did Today I found someone who's gonna save me Someone who makes me feel like you Today I found someone who's gonna save me from ever missin you again And she looks a lot like you

P.S.A. 02:32
An intention not unkind follows me up to my room and it locks the door behind Pensively, it takes a while to release my inner child; or should I say, it's half a child It seems so mild / unless it's just as it was once described My proboscis or my nose, as the figure of speech goes will erode when I am gone And the Saints will understand when they find my magazines underneath my Rosary Beside my teeth / unless it's just as it was once described In time / you'll certainly go blind You'll make a baby in Heaven fatherless / each time you touch yourself In time / you'll certainly go blind You'll make a baby in Heaven fatherless / each time you touch yourself

I"ll Pretend 03:27
I begin / as you come in It seems as though there's something wrong again In the room and on the bed / somehow it tasted sweeter in my head I can't explain myself tonight But if you see my type around, don't waste your time with them Don't cry / I'll pretend You're the best / I'm just depressed And I'll improvise when covering up the rest Or you say when / and I'll leave then We'll never make this same mistake again I can't explain myself tonight But if you see my type around, don't waste your time with them And you won't know my thoughts tonight But if you see my type around, don't waste your time with them Don't cry / I'll pretend that I'm listening I'll pretend / when we're dancing I'll pretend / that I miss you I'll pretend / when I see you and hold you and kiss you and take you and tell you I can't explain myself tonight But if you see my type around, don't waste your time with them And you won't know my thoughts tonight But if you see my type around, don't waste your time with them I can't explain myself tonight But if you see my type around, don't waste your time with them Don't cry / I'll pretend

Sevilla 08:50
Dropped a princely stare right in front of me / I see Inched his way to you with an accent and those shoes Then you did that thing where you bite your lip and reach for your elbow and rub it It's been so long since you've done that With me / at least he's interesting Is he really fond of me? There's no indication that she's pondering me Launched a soft attack with support from Segovia / I thought he'd bore ya He spoke in Portuguese / I thought you'd laugh at him with me But then you did that thing where you bite your lip and reach for your elbow and rub it It's been so long since you've done that With me / at least he's interesting Is he really fond of me? There's no indication that he's pondering me We'll see We'll see She'll be OK without me while fucking him in southern Spain But when she slips and calls out my name, he'll no longer be fond of me And she'll see And he'll see Is he really just like me?

The bets are in / no one will win The conversation sucks again The tights are loose and somewhat bright but the fetching noose will have to Wait for me 'cause nothing's happening Can't relate 'cause something's still missing Is it cold or am I just getting old? I'll be on my own but at least you've been told The fact is this / you scratch an itch And if it bleeds / you might get rich The problem is / if you resist It still exists until you Wait for me 'cause nothing's happening Can't relate 'cause something's still missing Is it cold or am I just getting old? I'll be on my own but at least you've been told Wait for me 'cause nothing's happening Can't relate 'cause something's still missing Is it cold or am I just getting old? I'll be on my own but at least you've been told
