Wish On The Bone
03:52
|

|
But I’m stuck on the grid
Asphalt and paint
And gasoline saints
That won’t even mind to bear witness
To hands on the gate
And watch while it shakes
And sometimes it’s over
Before it gets started
So call me when the coast is clear
Two evil eyes in a good, good head
Making an imprint in my bed
Wake up and take all your chances
Wish on the bone
And take yours on home
Your soap box has turned to an ice box
You’ll slip as it melts
It’s hotter than hell
And sometimes it’s over
Before it gets started
So call me when the coast is clear
Two evil eyes in a good, good head
Making an imprint in my bed

Dotted Line
03:36

|
Give me something to believe
Give me something I can’t reach
Won’t take too much of your time
“3 easy steps to rewire your mind”
Give me freedom
Give me gold
Tell me that I will never grow old.
All you dream of could be all yours
Cut your hand and I’ll find the cure
It’s easy as 1,2,3
If you just put your faith in me
Let all your problems melt away
Good days ahead after you pay.
I should’ve known better
Turns out it was a lie.
I should’ve known better
Than to sign on the dotted line
I should’ve known better.
Give me something I can feel
Give me something to make it real
Won’t take too much of your time
“3 easy steps to rewire your mind”
It’s easy as 1,2,3
If you just put your faith in me
Let all your problems melt away
Good days ahead
After you pay.
I should’ve known better
Turns out it was a lie.
I should’ve known better
Than to sign on the dotted line
I should’ve known better.
Turns out it was a lie.
I should’ve known better
Than to sign on the dotted line.
I should’ve known better

Rhyme Or Reason
03:35

Disappearing warmth of love
Like the shape of your handprint
Fogging up
It stained it so much I could hardly see
What you thought was disappointing
Wasn’t second rate to me
Just tell me when
And I’ll be waitin’
There is no rhyme
There is no reason
Look into my eyes and tell me
What it is you’re seein
There is no future
You’re only dreamin
Look into my eyes and tell me
What it is you’re seein
The disappearing warmth of love
Like Halley’s Comet
I’ve only heard of it
I’ve never seen its streak
But I have heard it comes fast
And you’ll miss it if you blink
If you blink
Just tell me when
And I’ll be waitin’
There is no rhyme
There is no reason
Look into my eyes and tell me
What it is you’re seein
There is no future
You’re only dreamin
Look into my eyes and tell me
What it is you’re seein

Fake Out
04:22
|

|
If I put my
Tongue to my teeth like this
Would you tell me
To stop opening my lips?
I wouldn’t give it up
Just to fade out
I wouldn’t give it up
Just to fake out.
It’s not my face
I imitate.
You don’t want to
Hear the sounds turn into words
Something you thought
Was only something that you heard
I wouldn’t give it up
Just to fade out
I wouldn’t give it up
Just to fake it but I could
It’s not my face
I imitate.
It’s not my face
I imitate.

Headlight Sun
02:49
|
|||
|
You cast a neon light
When you’re having fun
Like a poetic line in a standard country song.
I thought that something I could give
Could be something you could keep.
How pretty can you get?
Got me lost in the moment
And I’m rambling
Like a rolling stone.
They’re burning the ice
Another restless sleep can wait another night
But for now I’m yours and baby won’t you be mine.
Without a word that I could hear
A message loud and clear
Came ringing from your heart and into mine
Your headlight sun began to set
On my neon moon
How pretty can you get?
Got me lost in the moment
And I’m rambling
Like a rolling stone.
They’re burning the ice
Another restless sleep can wait another night
But for now I’m yours and baby won’t you be mine.
But for now I’m yours and baby won’t you be mine.
But for now I’m yours and baby won’t you be mine.
But for now I’m yours and baby won’t you be mine.

Green Things
02:33
|
|||
|
It’s the token bitter end
To feel the way I do now.
You were just so sweet to me
The sugar blacked me out.
Easy come and easy go
For those with easy strides.
I said no just go ahead
I got tangled on the line.
And you feed me
Green things
And I eat it up.
And you feed me
Green things
And I eat it up.

All The Money
04:00
|

|
What if I could
Be somebody’s baby
Never hurting,
Always loving,
Baby.
But all the money in the world wouldn’t buy
No, all the money in the world wouldn’t buy
What you want.
What if I could
Be somebody’s baby
Never hurting,
Always loving,
Baby.
But all the money in the world couldn’t buy
No, all the money in the world couldn’t buy
What you want.

Peppermint

Sucking on a peppermint
I lose my step
I get back to it
I got one ‘cause I felt sick
And now I’m better because of it
Spin me ‘round
Sucking on a peppermint
Leg over my head
Just to prove it
Pirouette til I’m teacher’s pet
Spot my head so that I don’t lose it.
Spin me ‘round
Spin me ‘round
Again
Again

Three Big Moons
03:54
|
|||
|
I was a heavy weight
Out there in space
Took one for the team
And took a swan dive into nothing
They pinned a note to my collar
It said “we couldn’t save her”
And dropped down the american flag
Like it was a favor
Walked around a few earth hours
Until my feet got sore
Found a nice big crater
24 by 24
Houston, we have a problem
So many that I just,
I just can’t solve them
Now that I’m here on this big rock alone
There’s no way up
The only road goes home
Coming up on a year
In my own little world
I’m the king here
And the prettiest girl
You know the nighttime here
Isn’t so bad
I got three big moons
That I can look up at
Houston, we have a problem
So many that I just,
I just can’t solve them
Now that I’m here on this big rock alone
There’s no way up
The only road goes home
Oh I stand so tall
When nobody’s there to make me small
Oh I stand so tall
When nobody’s there
Houston, we have a problem
So many that I just,
I just can’t solve them
Now that I’m here on this big rock alone
There’s no way up
The only road goes home

Weather Song
02:22
|
|||
|
You complain about the heat
And I’ll cry about the cold
Until we meet
Somewhere in the middle
And let the seasons take their hold
It’s out of our control
All my mornings tend to rise and sink
In subtle harmonies
That fade to hums
And then their gone
And I crave for your touch
Like a lonely melody
I just want you to sing along
I feel you like a song
That is just meant for us
Oh what a feeling to feel so much
When it’s all said and done
I’ll keep you cooled off
And you’ll keep me warm
I’ll keep you cooled off and you’ll
Keep me warm
I’ll keep you cooled off and you’ll
Keep me warm
I’ll keep you cooled off and you’ll
Keep me warm

I Took The Shot
01:53
|
|||
|
I remember when
I thought this place would be my home
Our friends all in the backyard
We let get overgrown
Turns out I don’t hate you
And believe me I did try
But as winter thawed so did my heart
And I don’t wonder why
I was somewhere in between
A vision and a dream
And I’d hoped you follow me
But behind me there was nothing
I waited at our old bar
But you never showed
So I took the shot I bought you
And one more for the road
And one more for the road
And one more for the road
And one more for the road
And one more for the road

One Million Love Songs ♡

I...I... just had to buy it, OK? 😘🍑 Perving aside, this is a great breakup record. It’ll speak to you if you’ve ever felt that heartache: “I keep fucking up.” “The past keeps getting in the way.” “Fuck my dreams, and fuck you too.” And I like her voice, reminds me of Juliana Hatfield.

I bought this already full price on MP3 on amazon, but I have the rest of the discography on FLAC ... so I am a second time buyer. Great band with a bright future.
