Deal with it
Deal with it
Why don’t you deal with it
Make a list (predictions)
Make Wish (exceptions)
Deal with it
Why don’t you deal with it
Why don’t you deal with it
Make a list (predictions)
Make Wish (exceptions)
Take it back (if you can)
Deal with it
Why don’t you deal with it

Follow Your Heart
01:54
|
|||
|
It’s a very cruel world
You can’t plan ahead
There’s danger with a stranger
But you had me right away
Follow your heart, come on
It’s all you got, come on
We all have things to learn
But I’m a sentimental fool
So I’ll rush in
Don’t care what wise folk say
|

It All Comes Together
01:44
|
|||
|
Don’t you worry
You’re not too late
Let’s just skip ahead
We’re gonna get it done
Just like
The movies
Save the world
Find the gold
It all comes together
Right before the end

But I can’t swim
Under water
It’s so cold

Hey Mazzy, Hey Kim

|
|||
|
Rose, lead the way
Amelia, keep me straight
Hey there, Mazzy
I think it’s time to fade
Chrissie, let’s pretend
Lucinda, can I let go?
Hey there, Kim
The new band’s really great
Laetitia, make me groove
Hey nameless, let’s make a move
Hey, Mazzy
Hey, Kim

Wearable Solution
00:38
|
|||
|
Wearable solution
It’s the price we pay
Internal pollution
It pays to save
Wearable solution
A masquerade
Accidental prison
With no parade

Tasty Marrow
01:02
|
|||
|
There they go
Paranoid
Washed ashore
Young and bored
It’s just their nature
And nature’s rarely wrong
Taking their time
Wasting all of mine
Testing limits
Running in the red
Things like this never get old
Boring stories never get told
There they go
Summer in their bones
All exposed
Tasty marrow
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
Fold the light
Assume you’re right
And not exposed
Let us all delete each other
And have
A quiet day

Lost Among The Waves
01:03
|
|||
|
Something
Swimming
Something
Running
Lost among the waves
It’s been so long
Since you’ve been gone

He Loved Phil Collins
01:46
|
|||
|
He loved Phil Collins
Long before the Disney days
He tried to steal our guitarist
In a progressive way
It’s like that song, but personal
And every now and then I wonder if he found his Genesis
There’s not rush to get on stage
But we will start without you
We pretended we were serious
And kinda sorta were
Its’ like that song, but personal
And every now and then I wish I’d asked for help

On A High Line
01:38
|
|||
|
Maybe I was born a little too late
Maybe I was torn from my fate
I’ve been walking on a high line
I’ve been waiting for a lifetime
But you can’t see me get down
In my miner’s pose
Trying to get the best out of myself
Baby you should know
Never been that close to this place
Baby, baby, babe that’s ok
All I ever do is wait and wait
Come on honey let me be
Everything I am
Tell me what you want
Show me what to do
Take me to
The end of me and you
|

Am I That Shallow?
01:33
|
|||
|
Anytime of day
You can catch me there
Try not to stare
I know you’ve got better things to do
You tell me all the time
That a toy’s gotta shine
To even catch your eye
Oh know
Am I that shallow
I won’t play a part
To make you look my way
But I’m still there
I know you’re tired of me
You tell me all the time
That you wanna forget
That I caught your eye

Johnny Possy he just came to play.
Johnny Possy he can’t get away.
And all his friends will look for him.

Let Me Know
00:32
|
|||
|
It’s time
To go away
Do you
Feel the same
Do you want me
To stay
Reach out
Let me know
For the sound
Everybody gather around
For the sound
Everybody turn your frowns
|
||||

Take My Time
02:57
|
|||
|
My heart skips a beat when you crawl down the street
And bare you soul on your knees
And something says I should take you in (out)
And someone says I should help you out
And I wanted, to want it
But you needed it too bad
Take my time
I like your tee shirt and I love the way you cry
I know it’s not fair and I don’t care why
The things I do to drown you out
The things I do to drown you out
And I wanted, to want it
But you needed it too bad
Take my time
|

18. |
P.S. It's Over
01:47
|
|||
|
P.S. it’s over
Don’t cry on my shoulder
The moment has passed
I thought it colder, much more than normal
Did you not agree?
There’s been a difference, in the climate below
Existence is trashed
This thing was long done, before Armageddon
Everyone agrees

Terminal Romantic
03:14
|
|
||
|
I waited for,
A brighter day.
A tethered sport,
A stunted race.
A severed,
Power source.
A stationary,
Engine room.
The signals failed,
The train is stalled.
I’ve never had a plan,
A chance, or a start.
And I’m a terminal
Romantic.
I’m a terminal
Romantic.

Foam G
01:21
|
|||
|
It means something to you
It means something to me too
Let’s not talk about time
Or other useless measurements
You told me I was wrong
When I thought it was right
It was never a fight
So much I could have learned
If I had another turn
The memories become sacred
It’s a process I know
To put back all the pieces
You must remember the whole

I Can Make You Lucky
01:22
|
|||
|
You don’t have to imagine
It’s too much work
Anyway
Let me take away
You can pull me right out of your dreams
And you can take my hand
I can find all the answers for you
I can make you lucky
There are no complications
I’ll give you sensations
I’m so in love with you
I can make you lucky
|

For The Sound
00:22
|
|||
|
Everybody gather around
For the sound
Everybody turn your frowns
Upside down
Inside out.

Sell You Everything
00:26
|
|||
|
If I take too long. hold on
(Tell about your world and I'll sell you everything. I can teach you girl, teach you how to sing.)
If I wait too long, ride on.
|
||||
24. |
||||

There’s a sea of white flags around me.
And the blood’s as thick as the moon.
Did the letters make them feel better?
Did the power recapture their youth?
I didn’t even try to understand.
There couldn’t have been a plan.
I will never understand.
They thought it was romantic,
Like names on a tree.
They never saw their eyes,
Only felt their pain.
They found it all exciting.
They always knew it would end.
I couldn’t even understand.
A cup of stars spilled out and drowned them out,
And the city can sleep again.
And we’ll try to forget,
What we do not understand.
|
||||
25. |
||||
|
I’m a constant
I like broken things
I get your customs
Bury them at sea
The paper age has come to an end
And everyone can be your friend
You better figure out your deal
Because you could be real
Line them up
You couldn’t get to sleep
And now you have it in your bones
You ain’t so clever
|
||||
26. |
||||
|
Happy, Happy, Happy now you’re just out of control
Did you ever stop and wonder if you had a soul
We don’t need no screwdrivers just to fill in all of the holes
Sometimes filling the holes makes you a part of the whole
No did you ever stop and wonder if you had a soul
And if freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
Then sacrifice means nothing if you have someplace to go
All the kids I school
So sick of the books
I love the punk and the metal bands
And my new wave’s become old school so it’s really not in my hands
|

The Dull Echo
01:41
|
|||
|
The story begins not so long ago
On an ancient tv show
Long forgotten by the world
It was meant to be safe
It was meant to be great
This once great man had fallen far
And only lived as a dull echo
But I gave him a chance
To shine once again
He could have been fair
He could have been great
He was cruel to a fan
And in my world that can’t stand
So I asked him to dance
He dared to disrespect me
I shot him down
I turned him red
He ran away
As I just laughed
|
||||

Like A Gift
04:06
|
|||
|
And for some reason the road is lined with stone crosses
And the farther we go the more it looks familiar
It seems like a gift
And while you’re driving I’m just thinking out loud
Some people can’t see, the forest or the trees
Some people can’t see, the forest or the trees
And sooner or later we’ll need to stop again
And are you sure we haven’t been this way before?
It seems like a gift
And this has stopped being an enormous mistake
Some people can’t see, the forest or the trees
Some people can’t see, the forest or the trees
|

The Outer Shell
02:24
|
|||
|
The culture’s, been tortured,
We need to make amends,
The outer shell, disintegrates,
Now the shield is just pretend,
where they go I won't follow
but I can’t stand in place
Go on, go on, go on, go on,
(On and on and on and on again)
The answers, were sorted
And turned into trends
The constants, surrendered
This all writes itself
Where they go I won't follow
But I can’t stand in place
Go on, go on, go on, go on,
(On and on and on and on again)

It's No Fun 2016
02:21
|
|||
|
It's no fun, to try to please someone.
By the time you're done, you've done everything wrong.
I know, it will all work out.
And I can't wait, until i figure it out.

From The Sea
01:06
|
|||
|
Everytime after and several times before
This is the stuff of lore
And they say
It came
From the sea
And they say
That it followed
Me
And I wonder

Pretend To Jazz

33. |

She says I have to work
Much harder than this
I say I’ve never worked
This hard before
I know
There’s nowhere to go
|
||||
34. |
The Tethered Sport
01:07
|
|||
|
The tethered sport
Won’t let you win
A timorous voice in the wind
Your hero has been summoned
Round with spikes and 4 million likes
And countless other views
The predator lurks
|
||||
35. |
Equally Impressive
01:45
|
|||
|
Forward thinking people
Never failed before
Though producing sequels
Never moved backwards
Equally impressive
Is the will of walls
|
||||
36. |
Numbered Towns
01:31
|
|||
|
Searched all night, searched all day
Seven hours, fifty ways
Twice the time, an endless maze
Counting backwards in whispers
Until I’m back with you
It’s you
Hoping it’s no worse than ever before
This town is yours
At first it hurts, with a delay
The second cut, not the same
Counting backwards in whispers
Until I’m back with you
It’s you
Hoping it’s no worse than ever before
This town is yours

Directions To A Funeral
01:00
|
|||
|
Do you know
The way
To the cliffs
If they start
Too late
I will stay
Come along
My friend
It’s okay
The funeral’s
This way
Directions
To the cliffs
|

Those Are The Breaks
00:27
|
|||
|
Some things you lose, sometimes it’s fate
But you do it again, cuz those are the breaks
Sometimes you lose, sometime’s it’s fate
When the comet comes, those are the breaks
