A PLACE WE DO NOT GO
05:05
|
|||
cold embrace, endless love and a hairdo
left out words, reasons why and the pain too
that is a place
we don't, we don't go
...
a cracked whip, furrowed brow followed violence
dead air, hums and haws broke the silence
that is a place
we don't, we don't go
...
i know you're meant for someone but not for me
as painful as that is for me to see
...
why i'm here, asleep like a starfish
where you are, when you don't want an accomplice
that is a place
we don't, we don't go
we don't, we don't go
...

A VIOLENT FEEL
04:00
|
|||
smoking on scarth your ankles are bare
catcalls with a violent feel to the air
look out for shawdows they're everywhere
and footsteps well timed well i would be scared
...
how was i to know where you would go
i could have followed you
through the path you left in the snow
...
the benefit of doubt it seems
could do more harm than you'd like to believe
...
would you accept an innocent kiss
do you see the danger in a question like this
warm up be safe but do not deny
the evil behind the charm in the wink of an eye
...

BABY BLUE
03:09
|
|||
don't spill your milk or blow your nose
my goodness how your hair grows
i think a cut is in order soon
i think a change is as well
but you put your order in you're hungry i can tell
prioritie in the morning plus cartoons
you turned the storage into a jungle gym
finding all the spots you can get stuck in
curious afternoons because you're bored
i'm trying but there's only so much i can do
like reading books and such
till everything we have you have explored
i'll always be there for you
always there and there's nothing
i would'nt do for you, my little baby blue
...
the floor is littered with the contents of your plate
are you not hungry or just in a grumpy state
or just trying to act out
your eyes have been rubbed and i filled the tub
washed your hair as you squirmed and shoved
and cried as we tried to get your tangles out
lately you won't sleep by yourself
you need just a little help
and lately it's hard to say no
so i cuddle up in a comfy place
and then you wrestle round and lay right on my face
till we sleep then we repeat tomorrow
i'll always be there for you
always there and there's nothing
i would'nt do for you, my little baby blue
my little baby blue.

DETROIT 1960's
04:47
|

i'm detroit 1960's or so she says i am
stay up all night then go to church
effortless yet grand
are you still my lover or do your eyes still seek
the boys that hide in shadows am i asleep
i will turn the lights off cancel visions sight
so i can try and fool you to let me stay the night
tucked in and curled beside you skeletons entwined
with broken body problems you ease my mind
i'm good at keeping secrets i broke a tooth today
i'm good at keeping quiet i spit it down the drain
i can feel the raw nerve ending as it rubs under my tongue
i can feel my age descending the decline has begun
has infactuation soured has lust just worn away
am i just overthinking am i just scared to say
i wish to have no other my eyes no longer seek
either i'm in love or i'm asleep

HEY LOVE
03:10
|
|||
i've been trying to get your contact
blue and blinking eyes
so you can see that i adore you
is that a statement that you like
i'll whisper it verbatim
the phone book line for line
i've been trying to get your contact
and hoping you'd like mine
hey love, only you understand
...
someday i hope you get your airlock
your wet sauna maybe too
an avalanche of intrigue
into your wednesday night revue
i've been trying to think more even
rationale and grown ass man
and positively thinking
as often and as best i can
hey love, only you understand
...
what i can do with my hands
what can i do with my hands
...
i'm not the best at making contact
with your eyes at times i know
but positively thinking
i can into your avalanche of snow

as i slip into the clothes from the night i wore before
in a bedroom where i've never been
a womans voice from the bed morning hun is what she said
but her face is one i've never seen
how did i get here, what have i done
can i chalk it up to just some drunken fun
...
mumbling goodbye as i slipped out from her eyesight
and tiptoed through the dark hallway
on the wall there was a sight a picture that caught my eye
the girl in her gown on her wedding day
but the part that confused me and threw my head for a loop
i was in the picture too dressed as the groom
...
now what was i to do thoroughly confused
and hung over a bit to boot
was i thinking this out loud she was there as i turned round
and said my darling whats the matter with you
i stood there speechless words would not comply
then in a burst and a flash my life passed by in my mind
...
i collapsed on the floor for a minute less or more
and remembered her panicked scream
and the feeling of her hand on my arm she helped me stand
deja vu or so it seemed
how did i get here what have i done
was i too drunk and fell asleep in the hallway hun

OH ME OH MY
07:08
|
|||
anxious and anger
and seldom an ear that'll lend itself to you
yet still will comment about your private health
i guess i've seldom been told what i should
and should not do
and faced with either choice is made being looked down to
...
side eyes and glances never seemed or felt evil
or made me nervous with danger looming large before
i guess i've never questioned if my skin stood out
or faced a person because of you changing their route
...
living in fear my oh my
oh me i love that country pie
living in tears, loss and despair
call me for dinner honey i will be right there
...
desire for affection publicly or do you dare
wonder if someone sees will someone care
i guess i've seldom been made to question this before
or faced with family seeing then not seeing you anymore
...
dying to belong or dying to belong in a different sense
to me doesn't make any or little sense
i guess i've never been put in such a trepid place
or faced with daily looks from eyes that make you feel displaced

january 1st 1949
in cook county intelligent design
his royal majesty lord chancellor creates
the empire of celestial space
affirm or declare
and become aware
of the vibration
a declaration
...
ruth had three sons glen duke of selenia
ruth had three sons todd duke of the milky way
ruth had three sons dean duke of mars
and cooper i owned the space above
he owned the space above
...
switch words
...
to secure the beauty and benefits
of sympathetic people wherever they may live
a vast domain a spiritual vastation
yet unclaimed by any state or nation
affirm or declare
and become aware
of the vibration
a declaration
...
together

RUSE AND SUBTERFUGE
02:38
|
|||
bent out of shape half asleep and a pounding head
late afternoon and i've still not left my bed
replaying the things you have and have not said
my life is a ruse and kinda weird in my head
...
i cannot talk i barely make a sound
sometimes i wonder why you stick around
it seems you could have any boy or man in town
my life is a ruse and kinda strange i've found
..
no one belongs here more than me myself
and i feel i used to be
able to handle or cope with things more suitably
...
late at night looking out in the dark
feeling cold like i dont got no heart
no value for you but did i at the start
my life is a ruse and a subterfuge and dead at certain parts
my life is a ruse and a subterfuge and dead at certain parts
...

SAVE ME FROM THIS SONG
02:19
|
|||
made room for memory
saved while i went
did as i could and
prayed and repent
but the bridge is a stutter
and the stutter repeats
one thing leads to another
till i admit my defeat
...
i think you'll save me from this song
...
the anger is building
one day i'll break
this fucking computer
for st. peters sake
...

THE GIRL FROM MONTREAL
02:18
|
|||
from coast to coast to coast
from the wine you brought to the holy ghost
i thanked the lord under candlelight
on the hardwood floor where we spent the night
...
you were evasive and shy and a bit bizarre
when we met at the back of the bar
then back to your place we both went
i told you i loved you but you knew what i meant
...
from your kitchen decor to the smell of your bed
from the records you played to your library read
the life you lived from the glimpses i've seen
i told you i'm sorry (do you know) what i mean
...
no love letters were sent no phone calls were made
one of us left one of us stayed
i thanked the lord under candlelight
on the hardwood floor where we spent the night
...

TRIED ALRIGHT, TRIED OK
03:12
|
|||
call me a seamstress i've unravelled
i've tried diy but found that i can't
find me a waitress i've got a thirst
i'm dry as a dried up cactus plant
get me a masseuse i am aching
i have been running incredibly thin
when these things all add up back to back to
back it's a rhythm of shit that i'm in
...
i've tried alright and i've tried ok
but i'm getting tired of trying them over and over
and over again and again
and again
...
score me an asprin my head is pounding
i've been staying up late and feeling quite rough
fetch me a coffee black no sugar
for it is bad and i'm sweet enough
land me a critic i've been lazy
haphazardly writing seldomly
who am i asking to get me these things
i don't think anyones listening

the Lambta Da's regina, Saskatchewan
The music's expression is paradoxically less solar and extraverted than the character of the seasons would lead us to believe. More than strength or richness there is an intensity, a sensation replete with freshness and firmness, which is remarkable. This deep and confident presence that persists over time becomes the memory of the music, possibly for always. ... more
