HOW DO I EXPLAIN
04:48

grey clouds all round on a july day
a quiet car ride you slept the whole way
out to the lake
where for the weekend you were gonna stay
with grandma and grandpa
and you will see cousins and aunts
mom packed your swim trunks
clothes and a new summer hat
by the time i left you
you scrapped both your knees already
my mind was terrified over leaving you
at the lake
where for the weekend you were gonna stay
i've loved you for longer than you've known
how do i explain
how do i explain
how do i explain that that will never change
...
crossing corners without holding your hand
letting you walk home from school alone with friends
from two to nine seems like such a short time
forever for always
as long as i'm living i said
to you every night that i put you to bed
i cant wait to see the future that you have ahead
from chocolate bars to restaurants
whatever you want
from two to nine seems like such a short time
i've loved you for longer than you've known
how do i explain
how do i explain
how do i explain that that will never change

PITTER PATTER
03:37

|
where's your sunny disposition
the tenderness the touch your missing
not closer now not side by side
by what we've signed not husband bride
clusterfucked and farther gone
father mother kids say what went wrong
where's the beauty when all i see
are scars for what i want and need
pitter patter
pitter patter
pitter patter waste my time
what's the use of lettered lines
littered paper pitter patter
my scars are stars that shone and shattered
...
my stomach is tight...
...
clusterfucked and farther gone
father mother kids say what went wrong
where's the beauty when all i see
are scars for what i want and need
pitter patter waste my time
what's the use of lettered lines
littered paper pitter patter
my scars are stars that shone and shattered
that shone and shattered...

SHINY SHINY SHINY
04:47

i wanna see how another heart breaks
how thee other love aches and boogies
or how you cope when you lose someone
that's so god damn good looking
dont get down when you get
when you get down
when you get down
...
when they cut so deep
they get under your skin
do you shed yourself
or let them back in
when they know so much
that you got nothing to say
conversations are tough
but try and mumble on anyway
...
shiny dont get down when you get down shiny
dont get down shiny dont get down shiny...
...
wont fall for you and emotions got stirred
through my vision though blurred i could see it
consumption quickly of alchohol
i think is what we both needed
...
when years of routine build up
you dont know which ones to keep
you dont know which friends will stick around
your building headboards to help you sleep
...
all the while being so un-shy
through the thick and thin
it's different now why and how
can they change the skin they're in
now they're just another her or him
(la dee da da)
...
shinny dont get down when you get down...
shiny dont get down when you get down shiny
dont get down shiny dont get down shiny...

THE GASOLINE DARKNESS
02:58
|

drink gasoline
and watch the ambulances all come and go
know what i mean
have you ever felt like just letting go
and cause a scene
like one you've never quite caused before
know what i mean
or is it something that you've always ignored
...
i'm holding on,
could you lead me on out through the darkness
could you lead me on out through the darkness
could you lead me on out
could you save could you love maybe all thee above
could you harness the thoughts that i'm thinking of
...
eat vasoline
let it coat your innards full and complete
fascinating
how it reminds me of my nights on the street
like kerosene
and the fascinating people i'd meet
my dopamine
has altered my levels of activity
...
i'm holding on,
could you lead me on out through the darkness
could you lead me on out through the darkness
could you lead me on out
could you save could you love maybe all thee above
could you harness the thoughts that i'm thinking of
...
drink gasoline

TWO PIECE BAND

my two piece band
lost a member now we are down to one
if things keep going this way
we'll lose another single number then we're done
we'll lose another single number then we're done
the lost nights
in the city where our hook ups had no names
for weeks straight
call it a bender call it heaven all the same
call it a bender call it heaven all the same
...
should i have made arrangements
to deal with certain changes
the planned re-arrangements
have you picked a replacement
...
ordinary felt uninspired
no ray of light or high or fire
or positives that wake me up
like narcotics in my coffee cup
i've developed a taste i guess
i've shaved your legs i wore your dress
dramatically and overblown
i'm all for love or all alone
...
call it closure
call it time of death
call it a last hoorah
or a last exhausted breath
or a last exhausted breath
...
should i have made arrangements
to deal with certain changes
the planned re-arrangements
have you picked a replacement
...
should i have made arrangements...

well you throw it up against the wall
babe why do you see me at all
please dont make me beg and crawl
and whimper dont you make me bawl
...
well i never
i never meant it like that
...
cause i've been meaning
yes i've been meaning to be your babe
...
well you make me keep on staying out late
i'm early but your making me wait
i'm tired but we're out on a date
and you say that i am out of shape

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
