The Bomb
03:35
|
|||
You are the lightbulb
Every time they interrogate me
A match made in heaven
Just to burn my family tree
Oh my love say a prayer for me
I'm the bomb
When this whole tone is over
Won't you beg for my TV
But I'm not a soldier
You can't drink my blood for free
Oh my love say a prayer for me
I'm the bomb
This world is a pearl
Take off your silk hat and lay with me
And make me a diamond
With heat pressure & scrutiny
Oh my love say a prayer for me
I'm the bomb

Letdown
04:18
|

I put my trust in you
I put my pride in everything I do
But then you rubbed me wrong
So I sing another rock n roll song
You let me down before
You left my heart still beating on the floor
You hang around my door
Yeah, you tie me up and let me down
I run the bases
And I try my best melt some faces
But yours is turned away
And you can't bring back your glory days
You let me down before
You left my heart still beating on the floor
You hang around my door
Yeah, you tie me up and let me down
Your life is full of lies
But you're a sight for these weary eyes
I'd love to kick the stall
But you were raised by sheep in a shopping mall
You let me down before
You left my heart still beating on the floor
You hang around my door
Yeah, you tie me up and let me down
You sure got a leg over me
But you'll get yours, you wait and see

Mockingbird

|

Mockingbird don't try to say
Mockingbird don't fly away
Mockingbird mmm mmm please
Mockingbird don't fly away today
Mockingbird your eyes are bright
Mockingbird don't cry all night
Mockingbird put up a fight
Mockingbird don't cry all night again
The night is long and there's still more songs to sing
Mockingbird dry your eyes
Mockingbird don't say goodbye
Mockingbird don't tell no lies
Mockingbird don't say goodbye again
The night is long and the liquor is strong
The night is long and there's still more songs to sing

Black Eyed Soul
04:43

Drunk in the afternoon
It all happened too soon
Rollin' & tumblin'
And stepping out in my blue suede shoes
Oh sweet mama
She don't wanna sing the blues
Tell your friends
Start spreading the news
You ain't got a thing to lose
This jive is getting old
My blood is hot but my hands are cold
A deeper shade of red
Is bleeding on my black-eyed soul
These brown eyes
They don't want to see no more
Tell your friends
Start spreading the news
You ain't got a thing to lose
Traveling down that road
I carry a heavy load
And I can't stay here long
Torn up picture of you
A soul to match my shoe
And I can't stay here long
I can't play with you no more
Drunk in the afternoon
It all happened much too soon
Rollin' & tumblin'
And stepping out in my blue suede shoes
Lawdy mama
She don't wanna sing the blues
Tell your friends
Start spreading the news
You ain't got a thing to lose

Sink or Swim
03:57
|
|||
I was sinking lower andI fell in love with a dream
Adrift in black water surrounded by every extreme
When I'm constantly in motion the pain of the emotion recedes
Naked as a baby on a lotus leaf in the latrine
I was going under when you threw a rope to me
The truth of the illusion is I was setting out to sea
In the order of confusion sometimes I play with fantasy
In a place that is nowhere in time that'll never be
I find that getting over is merely getting off for free
I was going under when you threw a rope to me
I would rather die than become a cog in this machine
It's a true and tragic fact that I'd become a casualty
With a pantheon of ghosts coming back to take the piss out of me
I would rather die than become a cog in this machine
I would run away but you'd come looking for me
Rolling on the waves of a song
I could rise above
And you could really see the value in me
And could really heal the pain within me

California Smile
03:43
|
|||
I come from a place of cold wind in my face
Where the rain falls down from the sky above
I've always been told there's a land of gold
Where the breezes blow from an ocean of blue
California
Sunday morning
Dawning golden
From the rain and snow
Hallelujah I'm gone
The year was thirteen and the city obscene
And the snow on the ground was as black as a nun
Yeah in my brain I'm high on a plane
On westerly course to my home in the sun
California
Sunday morning
Dawning golden
From the rain and snow
Hallelujah I'm gone
I only got one
One good good reason
I only got one reason to stay and that's you
I come from a place of cold wind in my face
Where the rain falls down from the sky above
Yeah in my brain I'm high on a plane
On westerly course to my home in the sun
California
Sunday morning
Dawning golden
From the rain and snow
Hallelujah I'm gone
California
Every morning
Dawning golden
From the rain and snow
Hallelujah I'm gone

Comes with the Fall
03:00
|
|||
The first time that I met you I knew you'd be in my life
But just as things started getting fun you said you had to be my wife
I don't need a partner but I could use another friend
And if you let me call on you tonight we wouldn't have to pretend
It's blind faith and dumb luck
That gets us through these years
I'd love to say I'm sorry but
That's not the words you need to hear
So I'll say goodbye my dear
They say the darkest hour comes just before the dawn
I'd love to show you the light right at the moment you turn me on
I know you probably thing that I will always be your fool
But I promise most sincere, baby, that I'm taking you to school
It's blind faith and dumb luck
That gets us through these years
I'd love to say I'm sorry but
That's not the words you need to hear
So I'll say goodbye my dear
It comes with the fall my darling
With the winter winds that blow
No summer breeze can tell you, baby
All the things you need to knwo
Oh my dear, my darling should come with a warning
It's blind faith and dumb luck
That gets us through these years
I'd love to say I'm sorry but
That's not the words you need to hear
So I'll say goodbye my dear

Hobbit Rock
04:34
|

Spent time in the woodman's scene
To find the faraway dream
I was following the mantis green
On the wind, on the water, underground
The songs of winter can be found
We bring kindness to the world for we are
Bound to the source of all sound
Tripping in the noonday sun
Is a power for everyone
It'll be here when we're long gone
On the wind, on the water, underground
The songs of winter can be found
We bring kindness to the world for we are
Bound to the source of all sound
Wooden arms and legs have grown
From a body made of stone
Underneath beats a heart of gold
On the wind, on the water, underground
The songs of winter can be found
We bring kindness to the world for we are
Bound to the source of all sound

Even
02:59

Even when the stars fall from the sky
Even when the sun longer shine
Even when you cry out in the night
I'll be by your side
Ever when the birds no longer sing
Even when the dust covers everything
Even when this world no longer spins
I will will be your friend
Even when the people no longer care
Even when the smoke fills up there air
Even when people no longer care
I will still be there
