A Song For Betty
04:39
|

Maybe it’s time to talk about Betty
Time to clean away the marks she left behind
They are the last of our little shrines
But we put your face on a T-shirt
We drank from your cup for so long
We gave you the merchandise
Before we gave you the song
Maybe it's time to sing a song about Betty
Maybe it's time to sing a song about Betty
Let’s all vibe on a black shadow of a song
I'm just so sorry that we took so long
It's time to sing a song about Betty

Ricochet
02:36
|

When I throw stones
They ricochet back off the wall
I can’t catch any
Cause they all seem to tumble and fall
Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah
Oh Yeah
When I feel all alone
And angry and full of hate
I’ll go outside
fix my eye on something far away
Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah
Oh Yeah
When will the end come
Cause I don’t see the end near me
How in the hell would I know
Cause I can’t see the forest for the trees
Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah
Oh Yeah

Dominoes
03:30
|

We are Dominos
Don’t you know
You will fall
And I will follow
Down we fall
Into the sea
We are Dominos
Don’t you know
We are
Dominos

Exactly What It Is
04:47
|
|||
Call it exactly what it is
Speak the words
That you've never really said
You can tell it to the heavens
Or you could tell it somebody else
Call it exactly what it is
Though I may see it
See it for something else
A word is not a weapon
Until the moment that it is
Wield it on your neighbour
Or you wield it on yourself
Call it
Call it exactly what it is
Don’t take from me what I can’t give myself
I’m not quite sure what you would want it for
So many times I've had to steal a story
So many times I’ve had to lose my head
However much I aim
I always miss
I’m not always game to call it what it is

Living in the shadows
Of all the things that past
Go smoke ‘em if you've got ‘em
Not much here is gonna last
Heathen rights, Holy wrongs
Broken in the middle
Torn apart by the songs
Bares no resemblance
Of what it was that we longed
Holy wrongs, Heathen rights
The light of day don’t pierce the night
Heathen rights, Holy wrongs
Everybody
Gotta sing their song
So sing my children
Go sing your songs

Yellow Rose
04:24
|
|||
Time never slows
So what you got to know
Is when to stay and when to go
And when you go out on your own
Learn to leave
Leave the shadows alone
How far
How far would you go
To find a yellow rose
The streets will be all empty
So don’t be fooled
By what you can’t find there
You can search every city park and every garden
Looking for a flash of gold
How far
How far would you go
To find a yellow rose
And you may be the last
The last women
Or the last man
How far
How far would you go
To find a yellow rose
How far
How far would you go
To find a yellow rose
La la la la
La la la la

Bleach Away
04:24
|
|||
All the little things you can’t control
One day you'll let those little things go
You'll find you'll have to chase them all
Chase them all away
And while your waiting for more
Open all the windows and doors
Let the outside air and let the sunshine in
Bleach away everything
And if the little things you can't control
Must come back tomorrow
You'll know now to chase them all
Chase them all away
Bleach away everything
Let the light in
Bleach away everything

On the Plains
03:49
|
|||
I ride out on the plains
Where the sun don’t blow
And the wind don’t rain
Forget the old ways
Steer clear of the new
Wouldn't you
Wouldn’t you want to
Wander Free
Out on the plains with me
I wish
And when we ride
Back home
And slide on in
To old habits
And easy sins
Wander free
On the plains with me
I wish
I wish

July I Wanna Die
03:57
|
|||
If you oughta take me
If you oughta take me at my word
I'm gonna have to take you
I’m gonna have to take you at yours
July July I wanna Die
July July I wanna Die
It’s so strange
It’s so strange to be fearful
I hate
I hate thinking only the terrible
July July I wanna Die
July July I wanna Die
I think you should hold on
I think you should hold on to me tight
If we pull ourselves together
Everything might just be alright
July July I wanna Die
July July I wanna Die
July July I wanna Die

Eve Van Grafhorst

I know you have to compromise
But I don’t want you to go
Eve, don’t leave
Whatever you leave behind
I will always keep
But the bad might never sleep
Oh Eve
How will I ever compromise
When I haven't got the love to give
Eve don’t leave us yet
Oh Eve

Words Between Friends

Together or Alone
04:54
|
|||
When the day does you bad
And life makes you sad
I won’t even ask
And you don't have to tell me yourself
We can suffer together or alone
Maybe two words will do
When you've not got a few
What are words between friends
The more I talk
The more i complicate things
And no one will ever say
What you've got to say
You have to step over shit
Just so you don't step in it
Nothing ever really matters
They say it's written in the stars
We can suffer together, or alone
We can suffer together, or alone
