Clementine
04:19
|
|||
You were passing through a phase of seasons
Willing to let life pass you by
And you teased as if you no idea
How you haven't found the right guy
You would act as if you cared
Just because he wouldn't dare
To look back at you through those eyes of blue
How is he supposed to miss you
You were always around
How is he supposed to leave you
You were always so down
"Come on girl, don't cry. It's not you, it's me.
You know, sometimes in life people fall apart,
A'int nobody's business. Wait a minute!"
How it lasted over three long years
No one could could believe when or how
And relationships were so ideal
But you kept on having your cows
You would think he never cared
Just because he went upstairs
To avoid your glare, you were never fair
How is he supposed to miss you
You were always around
How is he supposed to leave you
You were always so down
Don't be so surprised he left you
You kept putting him down
Don't expect that he'll be back now
He was only your clown
Oh Clementine, he loved and he left you and
Even though, you may have deserved it
Oh Clementine, you fell for his charm
Now you're on your own
It's time you carry on...

Body & Face
05:46

We, treasured it in the ground
The seemingly lost would someday be found
someday, somehow
Now, it's laid out in front of me
And new friends are made from old enemies
Unseemingly
It's better to see in the light of day
The light of day will shine upon your
Body, shine on your face
There's no one to tell us what to do or say
We make it all up before hand anyway
Now, are you going to dance?
Take out the hands from the pocket of your pants
'Cause we're not strangers oh no no because
Hey! I know you, hey! I know you, hey! I know you
Plans, they unravel like a quilt
They fall much faster than ever built
It's empty not filled up
Looks like we lost track of time
Waiting around for some magic sign
We can't find
It's better to see in the light of day
The light of day will shine upon your
Body, shine on your face
There's no one to tell us what to do or say
We make it all up before hand anyway
Now, are you going to dance?
Take out the hands from the pocket of your pants
'Cause we're not strangers oh no no because
Hey! I know you, hey! I know you, hey! I know you
It's better to see in the light of day
The light of day will shine
It's better to see in the light of day
The light of day will shine
It's better to see in the light of day
The light of day will shine upon your
Body, shine on your face
There's no one to tell us what to do or say
We make it all up before hand anyway
Now, are you going to dance?
Take out the hands from the pocket of your pants
'Cause we're not strangers, light will shine on your
Body, shine on your face
There's no one to tell us what to do or say
We make it all up before hand anyway
Now, are you going to dance? (Are you going to dance or something?)
Take out the hands from the pocket of your pants
'Cause we're not strangers, no no more because
Hey! I know you, hey! I know you, hey! I know you, hey! I know you

Free Love
04:00
|
|||
Don't let me get so bitter
I have a heart that's made of sand,
I have a heart that's made of sand
My mind tends to wander
When everybody's making plans
I never really stood the chance
Am I late? or am I misinformed?
Away I'll stay, or have my steps be torn, from me
And here I thought I had it figured out
Everyone can surely see
If love is something that I must pay out
I don't know the currency
I can't afford to fall in love
Afford to fall in love
I can't afford to fall in love again
unless it's free...
Why can't friends be neighbors?
And strangers play the loving part
Regardless if I know or not
To stop and to savor
All of the help that I can get
all of the people that I've met
I lack a certain fruit
And all the world's pursuits
They never could conclude it
And here I thought I had it figured out
Everyone can surely see
If love is something that I must pay out
I don't know the currency
I can't afford to fall in love
Afford to fall in love
I can't afford to fall in love again
unless it's free...
And here I thought I had it figured out
Everyone can surely see
If love is something that I must pay out
I don't know the currency
I can't afford to fall in love
Afford to fall in love
I can't afford to fall in love again
unless it's free
I can't afford to fall in love again
unless it's free
I can't afford to fall in love again
unless it's free

Seagulls
04:47
|
|||
Let's go fly to the sea
The salt in the air
The sun in your hair
You the seagulls and me
'Cause we're in good company
The seagulls they laugh, expectedly
but sometimes they can be thieves
Heading out
White washed in the waves
Knowing that were safe
We know we're safe
We know we're safe
So lay your feet in the sand
The water will rise
The water will rise
So lay your head in my hands
Leave your thoughts in the shore
They will be there going nowhere
Think about them no more
Heading out
White washed in the waves
Knowing that were safe
We know we're safe
We know we're safe
And when the silence clears
Open your eyes and your ears
'Cause all of our friends are here
We never knew before
Mended could be the torn
'Cause all of our friends are for us
All of our friends are for us
All of our friends are for us
So lay your feet in the sand
The water will rise
The water will rise
So lay your head in my hands

Nasty Face Funk

I've got to get over
I've got to get over
I've got to get over, that valley
I've got to get over
I've got to get over
I've got to get over, that valley
Call on somebody
A'int nobody got time for that
You know that it's only funny
When they give it to someone else
You better turn around
Before it goes upside down
You better leave it all
Keeping your feet off from the ground
My mama told me
Life just is what it is
Your face left on the ground
Papa told me
Everybody's a fool in love
You know that shadows fall
Without it you'd be no one at all
Just look away
'Cause you know, it's not going to stay
Michael said all you need is a row
Paul left some words in hope of an echo
Pick up the pace or people won't pay
Everybody's a show
This is where the sidewalk ends
This is where the sidewalk ends
This is where the sidewalk ends in the valley.
(I gotta step) This is where the sidewalk ends
(I gotta step) This is where the sidewalk ends
(I gotta step) This is where the sidewalk ends
(Into that valley) In the valley
I gotta step
I gotta step
I gotta step
Into that valley
(I gotta step) I've got to get over
(I gotta step) I've got to get over
(I gotta step) I've got to get over
(Into that valley) That valley
I've got to get over
I've got to get over
I've got to get over, that valley

Love, Alberta
04:56
|
|||
You say, you say love is better, better when it's blind
You say, you say it's better not to have him on my mind
Going and gone, she goes back, back forward into time
Forgetting, forgetting what she has, forget not to
Cry, Cry, crying through the night
Even when there's nothing on her mind
I found you drinking dandelions
You never wanted to grow up
Never wanted to grow old without him
I saw you shooting lavender
Wrinkles where you used to smile
And acting just like an old child
She says it's better when it's mild
But knows that it's not worth the while
But went along with it and smiled
Decades ago, he once held you, held you in his arms
but don't cha know, she says, "He's just working on the farm."
You go, I go, tell her that our papa's gone away
But even so, she loves him more, more and more each
Day each day like the one before it
Everyday she hurts like it was yesterday
I found you drinking dandelions
You never wanted to grow up
Never wanted to grow old without him
I saw you shooting lavender
Wrinkles where you used to smile
And acting just like an old child
She says it's better when it's mild
But knows that it's not worth the while
But went along with it and smiled
Sleepless nights and wakeful sights
Her life, loses sense of time
Placid smiles masked beguile
Sundown 'til dawn, 'til everyone thinks your wrong
Past the iris, who keeps track
What's on, it looks as though you've gone
I found you drinking dandelions
You never wanted to grow up
Never wanted to grow old without him
I saw you shooting lavender
Wrinkles where you used to smile
And acting just like an old child
She says it's better when it's mild
But knows that it's not worth the while
You could see the light, leaving her eyes
Her eyes
Her eyes
Leaving her eyes

Clouds of Sheep
04:21
|
|||
The black sheep would say hello to all the far and near
The white sheep would turn away and quiver back in fear
The white sheep would dance the waves, the wind would guide her way
The black sheep would stand and wait, his hairs would slowly gray
She gives 'til her tears drop and shakes the sky below
He moves not, nor sways still his heart for her will grow
The storm eases, weepings hushed, a come back home she hears
The buds and the flower bees will thank her as she nears
The black sheep who’s weary now his eyes no longer clear
She runs into on the way, a long ago sweet dear
She gives 'til her tears drop and shakes the sky below
He moves not, nor sways still his heart for her will grow

Alive
04:31
|
|||
I never thought I, I never thought I would go
I'd ever go at this alone
I always wanted, I always had it in minds
But now it seems that I don't
Know, where to start or how to play the part
I look around but I always miss the mark and
Everybody knows I'm alone, everybody knows I'm alone
But here we go now, we're going to take it in stride
We might as well 'cause I can't hide
What I'm doing, and it's no trouble to find
That we're just having a good
Time, to see, just what we're really made of
Climb all the steps that have been laid
But I think I need to stop and rewind
I think I need to stop and rewind
'Cause no, no one, can ever say I didn't try
'Cause for now, I feel alive
For a while more or less, for a while I confess
To leave the mess I've made behind
'Cause for once, I feel alive
I never try to, I'll never try to impress
Not everything's a big contest
Just to see who, to see who comes out ahead
Well I could say I did my
Best, to know, that some are kind in show
And others, well they hide their love below
And they like to keep it under disguise
They like to keep it under disguise
'Cause no, no one, can ever say I didn't try
'Cause for now, I feel alive
For a while more or less, for a while I confess
To leave the mess I've made behind
'Cause for once, I feel alive
No one, I don't see
No one, I don't see
No one, I don't see
No
One, cause now I feel alive
For a while more or less, for a while I confess
To leave the mess I've made behind
'Cause for once, I feel alive
You know I feel alive

Shrewd Silence
05:11
|
|||
You know that daily
I get up in solitude
Inside the crazy
Is calling a hollow tune
Who can be sure that this love won’t mean a thing
But strangers to when the impossible meet
Your voice of silk sings
A lovely familiar swoon
Your eyes so haunting
And wilting in spite of you
What lies of truth will bring us to our doom
But strangers to the impossible tune
Who can be sure that this love won’t mean a thing
But strangers to when the impossible meet
Who's the one you're waking for
Who’s the one you’re aching for
Who’s the one you’re taking for
Who’s the one you’re faking for
Who's the one you're waking for (Little Willow)
Who’s the one you’re aching for (Weep for me)
Who’s the one you’re taking for (Little Willow)
Who’s the one you’re faking for (Weep for me)

Mr. Button Blackbird
04:21
|
|||
Winter sang its melodious tune
Who knew her song would come too soon
Lovers side-by-side to stop the light
She clings on tight, but takes the flight
Mr. Button Blackbird are you blue now?
Last I saw you, she was gone
Can you still recall the way she loved you
Oh how she loved you, when you were gone
Orange blossoms fill the fragrant air
Nostalgic sighs, he sits and stares
Day by day he struggles how to cope
And how to love, forgotten hope
Mr. Button Blackbird, you still waiting?
Last I saw you, she was gone
Can you still recall the way she loved you
In winter’s calling, she missed the sign
Who hears you crying when you’re alone
Who hears you dying since she has flown
Who hears you crying when you’re alone
Who hears you dying since she has flown
Weary wings and drooping eyes he has
Each day would pass, he doubts he’ll last
Bright brown eyes that are not of his own
Peers in his heart, a love he’s known
Mr. Button Blackbird, do you love her?
Last I saw you, I heard no cry
Can you feel the rhythm of her heartbeat
Your heartbeat followed ‘til you died
How she cries in the dead of the night
Oh she cries since they all took flight
How she cries in the dead of the night
Oh she cries since they all took flight

Teenager Again
05:01
|
|||
In the beginning it started out fine
We were just messing and taking our time
And for a moment I felt like I was a teenager again
It's something unseen and something undone
There's nothing to lose but nothing was won
And for a moment I felt like I was alive again
But you believe in something better
And I believe in nasty weather
It's passing by, it's passing over me
I tried, I tried, I tried to fly
It's over my head, it's over this life of mine
Oh what a guy, I came to know
'Cause it was too much, and it was too far to go
I never know just where I stand
I'm pacing the floor, I'm waving my hands
How did it start off so good and just end so wrong
'Cause in the beginning it started out fine
Now I can barely just stomach the sight
Of me in this state, me in this state of mind
But you believe in something better
And I believe in nasty weather
It's passing by, it's passing over me
I tried, I tried, I tried to fly
It's over my head, it's over this life of mine
Oh what a guy, I came to know
'Cause it was too much, and it was too far to go
"Cause you believe in something better
And I believe in nasty weather
It's passing by, it's passing over me
'Cause you believe in something better
And I believe in nasty weather
It's passing by, it's passing over me
I tried, I tried, I tried to fly
It's over my head, it's over this life of mine
Oh what a guy, I came to know
'Cause it was too much, and it was too far to go

Anyone Else
07:50
|

A might wind does what it does, a mighty son I never was
I never could just leave the past behind
Conversations here and there, argumentation teeth to bear
I'd run before I'd ever want to find
And meet up with the sound of a cymbal running round and
A house that smells of smoke
Shadows on the ground tell me someone's still around and
It's somebody I know
Separation sings her song, she never knew the right or wrong
Of any side or any other tune
The distance always seemed so far, it's not by plane, it's not by car
forgiveness isn't quite a human truth
I'm planting different seeds, oh I'm pulling all the weeds
All the weeds out from my heart
I thought I was a man, oh I thought that I could stand
But I can't even start, I can't even start
Both my hands are cold, every now and then
I'd like to hold something more than
Empty words unfold, telling me I
Never think of anyone else
A friend is all we need, every now and then
I tend to bleed, pouring out from
something left unseen, all because I
Never think of anyone else, No I never think of anyone else
