I'm Not Ready to Go
04:17
|
|||
|
It's the beat of my own feet
that makes the only sound
down the sidewalks of these streets
without a soul in town
It's the time of night that some call day
depending who you see
it's about the time I made my way sleep
I know I should wrap things up
I know I should find the door
I know I could push my luck
but what am I waiting for
I'm not ready to go back home
I’m not ready to face my lonely bed
I'm not ready to go back home
I gotta find a place to hide my head
And come to senses while I'm on my own
Given all the places I have gone
I’m not ready to go
It's the longing for her voice
that keeps me wide awake
It's the dehydrated nights
that give my heart a break
It's the people that I meet
in order to forget
the girl that caught me off my guard
upon the night we met
It's the strangers in this bar
and who they take me for
it's that sentimental heart
and who it's breaking for
it's the jukebox in the back
that plays a melody
of an old romantic tune
that she would sing to me
I know I should close my tab
I know I should find my way
I know I should call a cab
to carry myself away
I'm not ready to go back home
I’m not ready to face my lonely bed
I'm not ready to go back home
I gotta find a place to hide my head
And come to senses while I'm on my own
Given all the places I have gone
I’m not ready to go
I know I should close my eyes
I know i should get some rest
I'm starting to realize
this is putting me to the test
but i'll never go to sleep
no matter how hard I try
until I wake up to her by my side
I'm not ready to go back home
I’m not ready to face my lonely bed
I'm not ready to go back home
I gotta find a place to hide my head
And come to senses while I'm on my own
Given all the places I have gone
I’m not ready to go

Pushing up Daisies

Dream of better days
Counting all the ways
We could be flying high
or racing to the ground
We’re the way we are
Never near or far
Never the lonely ghost
that keeps you coming ‘round
On and on we try
Living by the by
Soon enough you’ll be pushing up daisies
Soon enough you’ll be calling me crazy
We’re on the up and up
it’s just the love of the lazy
Soon enough you’ll be pushing up daisies
...pushing up daisies
I’ve seen it in your eyes
The cost of compromise
They call it the 9 to 5
But who’re you working for?
They say it’s not your speed
But tell me, are they the ones you need?
As long as you’re arm and arm
We with someone you adore
So kiss the lips you love
Are they the ones you’re dreaming of?
Soon enough you’ll be pushing up daisies
Soon enough you’ll be calling me crazy
We’re on the up and up
it’s just the love of the lazy
Soon enough you’ll be pushing up daisies
...pushing up daisies
Wishing well
Skipping stones
Never needed much at all
A hungry heart
One more song
Write your name up on the wall
...on the wall
Soon enough you’ll be pushing up daisies
Soon enough you’ll be calling me crazy
We’re on the up and up
it’s just the love of the lazy
Soon enough you’ll be pushing up daisies
pushing up daisies
pushing up daisies
pushing up daisies
pushing up daisies
oh, you’re pushing up

Wedding Vow
04:22
|
|||
|
I’m going under
and I’m taking all of what was left
And it’s a wonder
how you could carry on and waste your breath
You’re like a sparrow
You’re never home but you could find your way
I’m like an arrow
And I’m gonna miss the mark anyway
I could see your eyes in the candle light
Flicker of flame, it's a fire fight
Wanna say I’m wrong when you know I’m right, oh well
Maybe your words are wasted on a wedding vow
Maybe those days are numbered for you anyhow
You find the loosest lips upon a sinking ship
You wanna tell her but you don’t know how
Maybe your words are wasted on a wedding vow
You keep a finger
on a pulse that you would call your own
You never linger
You never could because it’s all you’ve known
You’ve been a fixture
In the hearts of those who have their doubts
You keep a picture
of a lover that had been crossed out
I could see your eyes in the candle light
Flicker of flame, it's a fire fight
Wanna say I’m wrong when you know I’m right, oh well
Maybe your words are wasted on a wedding vow
Maybe those days are numbered for you anyhow
You find the loosest lips upon a sinking ship
You wanna tell her but you don’t know how
Maybe your words are wasted on a wedding vow
So tell me who and when
and what you’re looking for
Am I enough to keep you on the ground?
I keep your letters in a box beside the door
But I won’t read them anymore
I never questioned
I never knew I never said I could
But there’s a lesson
in the words and in the way that you would
Maybe your words are wasted on a wedding vow
Maybe those days are numbered for you anyhow
You find the loosest lips upon a sinking ship
You wanna tell her but you don’t know how
Maybe your words are wasted on a wedding vow

Shadow
04:02

You can see it through
till your face turns blue
But is this the answer
you’ve been looking for?
You can weave your thread
While you’re seething red
When your race is run
you’ve seen it all before
Good Advice
The shadow you cast
races through my mind
and the shadow you cast
is never far behind
How clever... However,
The deja-vu ain’t fooling you no more…
Tell me what you think?
Are you tickled pink?
Do you dream one day
you’ll leave it all behind
Tell me what you’ve seen
With your eyes of green
Is it love
or is it jealousy that’s blind?
Good Advice
The shadow you cast
races through my mind
and the shadow you cast
is never far behind
How clever... However,
The deja-vu ain’t fooling you no more…
Is it too soon for the silver spoon
that’s dangling out your mouth?
Say good night in a dress of white
for when it all goes south
You’ll be living bold in a house of gold
and you’re never looking back
But nothings worse than the curse
of a life in black
The shadow you cast
races through my mind
and the shadow you cast
is never far behind
How clever... However,
The deja-vu ain’t fooling you no more…

Our Own
03:17

I would let her borrow
my shirt for the day
And I’d see her tomorrow
and all she would say
Is how it fit her even better
She’d ask to keep it and I’d let her
All the days are long
All the days are long
All the days are long
She’s shines a light
the likes that I have never known
She sings a song
that brings me miles and miles
from being alone
She keeps the beat
that I will follow till I’m home
She’s by my side, we’re on our own
I’m on the floor in stitches
She’s good for a laugh
And when it comes to riches
An autograph
is what she claims will keep the lights on
when I finally find the right song
All the days are long
All the days are long
All the days are long
She’s shines a light
the likes that I have never known
She sings a song
that brings me miles and miles
from being alone
She keeps the beat
that I will follow till I’m home
She’s by my side, we’re on our own
Now I’m left to wonder
how it would be
If we were sitting under
the sycamore tree
Without a worry on a Sunday
Maybe we could be there one day

Who Knows
03:54
|
|||
|
I’ve been screaming your name
I’ve been shaking my head
I’ve been taking my aim
beneath a lonely bed
I can see your face
in the back of my mind
I can walk in your place
two steps behind
You and I
were all we’ve ever known
but I can see a scar
cut to the bone
Who knows?
Who knows?
Who knows
about the one who haunts your home?
I can smell your scent
And you’re all that I hear
I can taste your lips
I can sense your fears
It’s like I’m holding your hand
six feet from above
it’s all a part of my plan
reminding you of my love
I’ve been left behind
a name on a stone
and all the while you claim
that you’re on your own
Who knows?
Who knows?
Who knows
about the one who haunts your home?
It’s like I’m living life under a sheet
no one can see me anymore
cut out two holes so I can see
what are you waiting for?
It’s like a stab in the dark
It’s like a kiss on the mouth
when all you need is a spark
and a breeze from the south
I found a locket of yours
I found a record of mine
I pick a lock on the door
to go back to the time…
Who knows?
Who knows?
Who knows
about the one who haunts your home?
Who knows?
Who knows?
Who knows
about the one who haunts your home?

Keep On
03:10
|
|||
|
We’re all alone
Well, it’s furthest from the truth
Set the tone
and then claim you’re wasted youth
Keep on, keep on, keep on,
keep on a light for me
Keep on, keep on, keep on,
keep on a light for me
We’re miles away
with a paper and a pen
It’s safe to say
that you’ll hear from me again
Keep on, keep on, keep on,
keep on a light for me
Keep on, keep on, keep on,
keep on a light for me
I would wait
to take the 44
from Nostrand Avenue
and to you door
I think we’re old enough by now to say
there couldn’t be anyone else
I think we’re old enough by now to say
that you’re the only one
We found ourselves
In a quiet place in queens
It’s sure as hell
Better than the in between
Keep on, keep on, keep on,
keep on a light for me
Keep on, keep on, keep on,
keep on a light for me
Keep on, keep on, keep on,
keep on a light for me
Keep on, keep on, keep on,
keep on a light for me
You would write me
letters from the road
And you were through and through
from coast to coast
I think we’re old enough by now to say
there couldn’t be anyone else
I think we’re old enough by now to say
that you’re the only one
You’re the only one

Enough of the dirty words
We’ve been through this one before
And just like a mockingbird
who’s waging an ugly war
And now that you’ve gone to sleep
and found some peace of mind
It’s more than a reverie
Is that what you want to find?
lay down the bottle
pick up your chin
And please, put everybody’s mind at ease
this is where the conversation ends
and you get yourself together
So say, you’ll change your ways of yesterday
this is when you start over again
and you will remember
September
Give up the life you lead
you won’t need it anymore
Never the one to agree
that’s not what I’m asking for
Now that you’ve found your voice
And now that you will be heard
you’re left with only a choice
of what will become your word
You’ve got your reasons
I’ve got mine too
And please, put everybody’s mind at ease
this is where the conversation ends
and you get yourself together
So say, you’ll change your ways of yesterday
this is when you start over again
and you will remember
September
You’ll throw your life away
for the dependency
You couldn’t find a way
to drop the tendency
of finding that bottle
and the things it made you do
And please, put everybody’s mind at ease
this is where the conversation ends
and you get yourself together
So say, you’ll change your ways of yesterday
this is when you start over again
and you will remember
September

The Kid
03:33
|
|||
|
I’m ’a take a walk
down an avenue
and find another pill to swallow
And I’ll never talk
‘less I’m spoken to
Never one to lead or follow
They call me The Kid
the ego and id
They call me a lush
but I’ve had enough
well, they say we come in threes
that’s not what we believe
they call me The Kid
You can rest your head
in an open book
But you can’t tell me what you’re reading
Don’t go back to bed
Go and take a look
At who you shook and why they’re bleeding
They call me The Kid
the ego and id
They call me a lush
but I’ve had enough
well, they say we come in threes
that’s not what we believe
they call me The Kid
Give me the twisted truth
Call me the wasted youth
Tell me you’ve heard it all before
As long as the wheel won’t spin
As long as they let me in
As long as I’m all you want and more
Well, the sun won’t shine
and the breeze won’t blow
unless you get yourself believing
And now I’ll get mine
and I’ll let you know
‘cause soon enough we will be leaving
They call me The Kid
the ego and id
They call me a lush
but I’ve had enough
well, they say we come in threes
that’s not what we believe
they call me The Kid

Head On
04:04
|

|
Keep me in my place
like a page you’re bound to turn
So easily erased
but you’ll never learn
And you’ll curse till kingdom come
and you’ll live to see the day
when the city you come from
will take you away
Am I making sense?
Am I making sense?
Am I making sense?
Or making it up?
Well the words won’t say
what I want them to
Am I in the way
or head on head on head on
head on with you?
Keep me in the light
Don’t you leave me in the dark
You don’t need me in sight
To hit the mark
I’m shaking where you stood
and I’ll shiver where you stand
and I misunderstood
the lay of the land
Am I making sense?
Am I making sense?
Am I making sense?
Or making it up?
Well the words won’t say
what I want them to
Am I in the way
or head on head on head on
head on with you?
I won’t drink a drop
like a sinner on Sunday
but that won’t make us stop
or keep you away
Well the words won’t say
What I want them to
Am I in the way
or head on head on head on head on...
Well the words won’t say
what I want them to
Am I in the way
or head on head on head on
head on head on head on head on
head on with you?
head on head on head on
head on with you?

The Here & the Now
05:10
|
|||
|
I had my doubts
but now I’ll never second guess
The way you peer into our room
It ain’t ideal
but it’s good as it gets
So stick around and watch it bloom
...into the rest of our lives
We don’t see eye to eye
on where our lives will lead
At least we share that point of view
It doesn’t matter what we want
it’s what we need
And all I’m needing now is you
...and for the rest of our lives
And I’m aching for the feeling
And I’m shaking my way to the ground
And I’m breaking to be healing
And I’m taking in the here and the now
And now I’m shivering
like the leaves upon the trees
But I won’t stumble when they fall
Unlike the rest of them
who crumble to their knees
My roots run deep as I stand tall
….for the rest of our lives
And I’m aching for the feeling
And I’m shaking my way to the ground
And I’m breaking to be healing
And I’m taking in the here and the now
And I wonder…
And I wonder…
And I wonder…
And I wonder…
And I’m aching for the feeling
And I’m shaking my way to the ground
And I’m breaking to be healing
And I’m taking in the here and the now

Gimme Gimme Rock & Roll
02:03

I don’t need your hesitation
I’m believe your reputation
A soul to sink
A drop to drink
It’s not what you think, it’s what you know
On your mark, set, ready go
Gimme gimme gimme rock and roll
On your mark, set, ready go
Gimme gimme gimme rock and roll
I’ll be dropping like a domino
She won’t stop to make the cameo
The pills won’t work
from the young turks
who get a kick from growing old
On your mark, set, ready go
Gimme gimme gimme rock and roll
On your mark, set, ready go
Gimme gimme gimme rock and roll
On your mark, set, ready go
Gimme gimme gimme rock and roll
On your mark, set, ready go
Gimme gimme gimme rock and roll
