Say It Twice
03:03
|
|||
One problem that you left me
Was one I couldn’t fix
My heart was guaranteed to break
No matter what I did
I heard it from you one time
That was nice
One problem that you left me
Still won’t go away
I was up all night thinking
Still haunts me the next day
I heard it from you one time
That was nice
But if you really love me
Say it twice
One old flame is still burning
On wood gathered long ago
The room it heats is empty
So you’d never even know
I heard it from you one time
That was nice
But if you really love me
Say it twice
Two is the one
Means she loves you
Two is one
That makes it true
People say many things in vain
But that’s not something you should say
And not mean every word of it
I heard it from you one time
That was nice
But if you really love me
Say it twice

You never make me laugh, you never take me out
And when we're on the phone you never listen to a word I say.
In fact, I hear the television on.
You're always rude to mom,
My friends wonder what's wrong
`Cause every time we get together you're despondent and impatient,
Then duck out early to get baked.
"Oh, baby, I'm just going through a phase"
Yeah, I've heard it all before.
O, the sadness that you've put me through
So that's why, dude, I'm breaking up with you.
You're way too tired to chat but you're good for rolling in the sack.
I used to hear the strings and bells of symphonies
But now I just hear the X-Box on the surround sound.
And though I don't care what you look like - You've really let yourself go.
There was a time when I'd assume I would be doing something wrong
But now I've smartened up.
"Oh, baby, I'm just dealing with some stress"
That used to fly about a month ago.
What was once red-hot is now a faded blue
And that's why dude, I'm breaking up with you.
That's why dude, I'm breaking up with you.
I'm taking the high road; I'm doing it face to face.
I'm taking the high road; I'm never looking back
You never pick up the check
I'm tired of wiping your ass.
Your eyes are wandering just way too much
I'm curious if I'm even present in your mind at all!
"Oh, baby, I'm just a complicated soul"
Then it's time for us to simplify.
Life's too short. I want something new!
So that's why, dude, I'm breaking up with you.
This fragile love never even grew
And that's why, dude, I'm breaking up with you.
I've made my verdict, no more need for clues
And that's why, dude, I'm breaking up with you

Satellite Friends
03:17

We used to hang around the universe’s centre
My friends are moving on they say, to something better
(Satellite Friends)
Don’t need me anymore
(Satellite Friends)
Don’t need me anymore
We’d pass each other every April and September
Now they’ve drifted off and to me they are lost
(Satellite Friends)
Don’t need me anymore
(Satellite Friends)
Don’t need me anymore
Its like gazing
Too long at the sun
Just staring at my door
Knowing no one will come
We used to move in circles now the orbits broken
No longer following the one that shines the brightest
(Satellite Friends)
Don’t need me anymore
(Satellite Friends)
Don’t need me anymore
Its like gazing
Too long at the sun
Staring at my door
Knowing no one will come
(Satellite Friends)
Don’t need me anymore
(Satellite Friends)
Don’t need me anymore
Its like gazing
Too long at the sun
Staring at my closed door
Knowing no one will come
(They drift away, but my orbit stays the same,
In my mind they’re space junk jettisoned,
I won’t make demands of fair-weather friends,
Stay on course.)

Archipelago
03:39
|
|||
We all together in the act hopping in a gunny sack;
Journey's end, we lay a patch.
Does it seem right to put up a vicious fight?
Such competitive nature rains on the brightness of community.
I can see the path I choose to take.
I read the simple credo of a man on a bench in the park down near the Broadway
Bridging the gap between the right and the wrong, I pick my fight
To maintain a guileless plight, but stay protected.
Will I ever find the germ of a true forbearance
Free of contamination and vogue mythology?
I try to keep my head screwed on straight
But often I run away with my desires:
It's a dream in the pipeline that leads to the sea
And I want off this archipelago,
And I will build a raft to wherever I can go.
And I want off this archipelago,
I've been cast away too long
Soar well above the rising shit, be a pillar of true grit,
Persevere and never quit.
O conscience and truth, let your beacon be my guide.
Never ever compromise.
And I want off this archipelago,
And I will find the soil where all my seeds will grow.
And I want off this archipelago,
I've been cast away too long.
Courtesy will root me well
Integrity, now ring them bells
Never ever compromise.
Sing all the notes of self-control
Indomitable spirit, soar!
Thank you, Austin. I am sad we never met.
And I want off this archipelago,
And I will brave the ocean's raging tempest roar
And I want off this archipelago,
I've been cast away too long.

Travel Straight
03:24

Down the Trans-can, its hard to get lost
It only goes one way, East to West
So that's why I follow it close
Don't stray too far
Down on your luck
Hop in the car it starts looking up
I'm out of place
Wherever I go
So I travel straight
Without the need for a home
Down by Vancouver Island
I met some good people who remembered my name
And so I plan to stay pretty close
And not stray too far, in case nobody noticed
I'm out of place
Wherever I go
So I travel straight
Without the need for a home
Down in the dumps
I find it real, real hard
To get back out

Still Keeping It Yeats
03:50

Playoffs cancelled due to sleet
Batting ninth, the strikeout queen
Crossfire friendly or fake
My brittle foundation quakes
And I tell myself “let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go.”
And I tell myself that things could be much worse
And I tell myself “let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go.”
And I tell myself to just leave it be
I ain’t no pretty young thing
I just know how to strum and sing
And I tell myself “let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go.”
And I tell myself that things could be much worse
And I tell myself “let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go.”
And I tell myself to just leave it be
And I can’t pretend not to give a f*** anymore
