Truth Or Lie
03:42
|
|||
My girl got engaged to some guy before she even knew my name
I’ve been trying to live my life out anyway
So I’m gonna spend the rest of my years shacking up with my regrets
‘Cause I didn’t come out swinging like a real dead ringer on the chapel steps
But it all comes to light, how we feel
I can’t keep a secret babe but I’ll make you a deal
When it all comes to light, over time
Truth or lie
Your ex wife’s way more into sex now that you’re not married to her
People change and love is strange I’ve learned
It’s real hard trying to tell the truth when you know you gotta hurt some one
Feels like staring down the long, cold barrel of a loaded gun, and then
It all comes to light, how you feel
I can’t keep a secret babe but I’ll make you a deal
When it all comes to light, over time
Truth or lie
Wading through the bullshit every day really is the hardest thing
Damn it if it hasn’t given me some real swell lines to sing
The old cats tell me that a day will come it’ll all make sense:
And living my life like I’ve always done
When it all comes to light, how I feel
I can’t keep a secret babe but I’ll make you a deal
When it all comes to light, over time
Truth or lie

Already Know

Rolled up my blue jeans into a bag
Rings around my eyelids beginning to sag
Lean out the window when you take a drag
I’ve enjoyed staying now I must grow
Drum up a lifestyle bet on a hunch
I was the quiet one of my bunch
When I go rambling hold onto your lunch
Look at me now, look at me grow
Up like a baby, down through the night
Pay me attention, I’ll be alright
My day to day living has levelled a blow
You say I’ll be fine but I already know
Put on Paul Simon, he’s always been hip
Tell me the tracks you want me to skip
Heard this one’s lifted, man that’s a rip
He stuck it on Graceland like no one would know
Drove like a baby, rocked like a ship
Thank you Hidalgo, thanks for the tip
These new allegations have levelled a blow
You said I’ll be fine, but I already know
You said I’ll be fine but I already know
You said I’ll be fine but I already know

Get Out Of The Game
05:05
|

Meet me on the desert sand, get out of this camper van
I want to get back to the land, back behind the wheel
Too much sleep is a disgrace, stop for food and lift the pace
If you’re the queen and I’m the ace, how’re we gonna deal ?
Told you once I told you then
You know you’re my true best friend
If we fall in love again let’s give our girl your name
God help us if it happens soon
So much time we’ve yet to lose
To meet with our demise or get out of the game
Dip below the greater lakes
Windy city cold will shake you
Get that weather off my face I wanna smile bright and true
Duck on down to Yellowstone
Wild sage the bison roam in
Rolling fog the valleys grown a wild yellow hue
I told you once I told you then
You know you’re my true best friend
If we fall in love again, let’s give our girl your name
God help us if it happens soon
So much time we’ve yet to lose
To meet with our demise or get out of the game
Get out of the game
Somewhere down the line we made a promise that no pain
Or money would change anything
Emerald city shine again
Portland must of come and went
I was listening to you vent
We’ve been cooped up for awhile
Techies on the Bay agree
No road to the island’s free
Oh, paradise you’re killing me, charging by the mile
I told you here I told you there
You and I make quite a pair
If she gets your golden hair let’s give our girl your name
God help us if it happens soon
So much time we’ve yet to lose to meet with our demise
Or get out of the game
I’m sorry I just can’t stay
Where do rent cheques come from these days
Here’s to you you’re good to pay you always spot me cash
Best that I be getting on
Tank is full the brights are on
If you’re a big fish I’m a prawn you’re kind to let me splash
I told you once I told you then
You know you’re my true best friend
If we fall in love again let’s give our girl your name
God help us if it happens soon
So much time we’ve yet to lose
To meet with our demise and get out of the game
Somewhere down the line we made a promise that no pain
Or money would change anything
Get out of the game
Somewhere down the line we made a promise that no pain
Or money would change anything
Get out of the game
Somewhere down the line we made a promise that no pain
Or money would change anything
Get out of the game
Somewhere down the line we made a promise that no pain
Or glory would change anything

Don't Cry For Me
04:25
|
|||
Walking down the road all alone
Doesn’t seem to matter anyway way I go
Each time I'm out on my own, looking for a thrill
People wanna treat me kind
Keep em working for you or they rob you blind
Give a little rope and if you slack the line they come in for the kill
Don't cry for me I'm halfway gone, trying to break through, trying to make sense to you
To you
Working til my debts are paid
Get a little older and your bed gets made
Bags get packed and plans get laid like puzzles upside down
A crown without a proper king
A funeral dove that never knew that it could sing
Or a classic love without a ring slow dancing in long lace gown
Don't cry for her she's halfway gone, wasted her youth, trying to make sense to you
To you
The evening never seems to end
Sleep away the morning when you're on the mend
Call you on the phone like an old best friend when business is slow
To dangle hope like show and tell
Anyone who's ever broken through your shell
Knows fondness ain't a simple spell that anyone can throw
Don't cry for them they're halfway gone, what's the point trying to make sense to you
To you
Sleeping in a back house; East LA
Little jasmine trellis on the garden gate
Those who do believe in fate will never tell you why
Speed freak crashed the neighbours shed
Found him in the morning he was halfway dead
Eyes rolled up inside his head he fell into the sky
Don't cry for him; he's halfway gone, moving his lips, trying to make sense to you
To you
One day we run out of time
Nothing good about it but it’s not unkind
World spins out upon a dime while the second line is playing
I’ll be glad when my time comes
Glad I made it out of these pretentious slums
Don’t cry for me if the deed is done there’s nothing more worth saying
Don’t cry for me I’m halfway gone I’ll never get free trying to make sense to you
To you

Survival
03:55
|

Evening’s on my eyelids, smog’s on the horizon
Making all the colours burn orange and red
Grateful to the sunrise, thank you for the moonshine
Back home around this time I’d be wallowing
Hiding from a world both solemn and mean
Scrubbing at my nails until the water runs clean
I’m the lone defender of an innocent dream
I call survival
I’m out for a bimble, boys, pass me a thimble
This second-hand dodge caravan is blowing out seams
I pull off in North county, two coyotes howling stir
impressions of a lover who got through to me
Begged for my redemption from a highway queen
Took blood and sweat and skin off both of my knees
She was my protector before the love got lean
I called her survival
We’d like to make it look so easy
It’s hard to make it look so easy and feel alive
I’m giving you a look at how I feel inside
No place to run no place to hide
Not looking for some 70s revival
Just for survival
I swing out of my weight class, yes, I can be a smart ass
Ripping on the green grass when the field’s serene
Puff those clouds awhile, least until I’m smiling
Baby let’s forget all of the miles we’ve seen
Been me against the world since I was sixteen
And trying to grow apart if you know what I mean
Don’t call me a pawn in the elaborate scheme
Call me survival

Nowhere Bound
02:42
|

French doors are open, spirits run
In and out of the house I was born in
Sunlight comes washing through the hearth of the home where I live
Don’t try and wash me clean, don’t try and make me eat
Baby I’m nowhere bound
When nowhere I go am I free to unload of these sorrows slung low down
You know I’m nowhere bound
Wild summer flower on my piano - let me sing you a song about dying
Ashes to ashes, truth can be sour baby don’t come to me when you’re crying
Trying to wash yourself clean, trying to make me eat
Baby I’m nowhere bound
You’ve nowhere to go to be free to unload of your sorrow slung low down
You know you’re nowhere bound
The ages have spoken, I blew my last token to fall like a man from the gallows
Down in Hoboken now, battered and broken how am I to crawl from the shadows
Don’t try and wash me clean, don’t try and make me eat
Baby I’m nowhere bound
I’ve nowhere to go and be free to unload of these sorrows slung low down
You know I’m nowhere bound

Here's To The Future
03:46
|

Catch me on the Golden Coast, I’m long due headed down
Left my family waving slow back when the time ran out
Took dad’s Camry, drove it dry and let those tears run clean
All the sadness from my eyes from everything I’d seen
All this sadness, all life’s lessons,
These confessional songs we sing
Lead me higher to salvation
Cheers to all the future brings
Woe and trouble take the highways, byways shake my blues
Well my heart up with affection each time I get loose
From all my sadness, all life’s lessons
These confessional songs we sing
Lead me higher to salvation
Here’s to all the future brings
These past years have been cloaked in silence
Sprung from deeper wells of sorrow
Here I’m standing feeling gracious
Pain today is gone tomorrow
Homesick vagrant, damp and cold, no love could set me free
Fragrant as an LA rose she drew something out of me
All my sadness, all life’s lessons,
These confessional songs I sing
Lead me higher to salvation
Cheers to all the future brings

Money
03:23
|

All of my friends gotta turn the page
Give up the the dream and learn to act their age
Live their lives to see their wives and kids
So strange old ghosts like me don’t get a glimpse
Since they left my whole lens went fuzzy
Use to make time now we just make money
Used to write songs, now we just write cheques
Used to look inside, to figure out what’s next
Used to feel strong now I just feel slow
Used to belong to someone long ago
But now she’s gone my whole lens is fuzzy
Used to make love now we just make money
When all of your ideals grow too distant
Old confidants will feel inconsistent
The answer is a lesson you forgot
Love is not a thing that can be bought
What’s right is wrong, the whole world’s gone funny
Since she’s gone my whole lens is fuzzy
Now you’re gone my whole lens is fuzzy
Used to make time now we just make money

Everyone
03:33
|

Everyone is waiting for a train
Heading back the way from which they came
Everyone who’s walking in the light
Most of them will make it out alright
Just when they begin to understand
Someone has to go and change the plan
Everyone knows someone working hard
Half-way finished paying off the car
Some of them can see the other side
Some get turned away when they arrive
Everyone who’s walking in the light
Some of them won’t make it out alright
Just when they begin to understand someone has to go
and change the plan
Everyone is cleaning up a mess
Making peace with some kind of regret
Anyone can learn to be alone
That’s the way we come, the way we go
Everyone who’s walking in the light
Most of them will make it out alright
Just when they begin to understand someone has to go
Just when I begin to understand someone has to go
and change the plan

Streets of L.A.

Lose someone the first time
Doesn’t come easy babe
Wednesday they were on your mind
Thursday they were gone
Lately I’ve been shaking hands
With visions of my old man
Sending old lovers away
Walking the streets of LA
Found love for the first time
It hasn’t been easy baby
When you crossed my mind back then
Everything was dry
I knew you all long
I never knew a love this strong
My heart was ripped and flayed
Walking the streets of LA
Lose the fight to growing up
Lose the right to choose
All the hype that comes it comes
To feel like abuse
Now the years are slipping
Like shuffling shoes
All across my avenue today
Walking the streets of LA
Turning old lovers away
