Simple Song

It's just a simple song today,
I thought that you should know.
It's just a simple song today,
Just before you go.
Every time I get, Every time I get
Caught up,
Every time I get, Every time I get
Caught up, deep in your love
It's just a simple song today,
to blow away the blues
It's just a simple song today,
I hope you don't refuse.
Every time I get, Every time I get
Caught up,
Every time I get, Every time I get
Caught up, deep in your love
It's just a simple song today,
Just been on my mind.
It's just a simple song today,
I hope, girl, you are mine.

My Lovely Laura
03:33

She gave me a look with the weight of the moon
She kept me in line to the beat of her tune
Amidst the scene, of a made of foreign land
She'd be the queen, and I'd be her man
I ran for my life, with a capital "L"
I just couldn't break the bonds of her spell
And as I ran, a free man true and true
Couldn't help but go back,
What could I do without you
My Lovely Laura
Won't you stick around and hit the ground with me
My Lovely Laura Won't you stick around,
And hit the ground
My Lovely Laura
I'm going down
But I know that I'll be saved
This time around
I won't be hurt like yesterday
This time around,
I'll be saved
My Lovely Laura
Won't you stick around and hit the ground with me
My Lovely Laura Won't you stick around,
And hit the ground
My Lovely Laura
Here I stand, strayed from the line
Void of my voice, void of my spine
That sentimental inclination you say I lack
So far removed, how will I get it back?
My Lovely Laura
Won't you stick around and hit the ground with me
My Lovely Laura Won't you stick around,
And hit the ground
My Lovely Laura

Benefit of the Doubt
03:51
|
|||
|
We crash, we burn, our words,
They shoot through the sky
Just like a comet does
We yell, and scream, and lay
Our love on the line ‘til we let it burst
You were standing at my door,
As I paced the kitchen floor
You know, sometimes, there’s never
Ever going to be a right time
And by, the time, you look up
And realize, it’s a lifetime
I guess, I’m living in the past
A passing glimpse it went so fast
What am I supposed to do?
‘Cause I never gave you
The benefit of the doubt
(Amazing Solo...be prepared!)
What am I supposed to do?
When I never gave you
The benefit of the doubt
I look around at all
The empty shops on the avenue
You’d walk on in and look around
If I only changed my attitude
We’d go buy that antique chair
Not to sit, but only stare
What am I supposed to do
‘Cause I never gave you
The benefit of the doubt
I never knew these types of blues
‘Cause I never gave you
The benefit of the doubt
I can’t believe how much I’d lose
When I never gave you
The benefit of the doubt

Spiderweb
03:22
|
|||
|
You got a smile that can stop a heart in a beat,
You got this look in your eye, that you ain't ready for defeat.
The world's gotta move when you're telling it to,
It's got no other choice.
And it melts in your hand at the drop of a hat,
at the sound of your voice.
You got the pieces, you got all the parts,
You got the key to my wisdom,
you got the lock to my heart,
but you're living your life in a shopping cart tonight. Oh no.
Your spiderweb keeps thinning out,
Some kid just ripped your home from the sky.
Where will you lay your silky thread?
Come rest your head on my shoulder tonight.
Your 5'3'' but you feel 2 foot small,
You got your masterpiece,
but the writings on the wall.
The depiction of fiction is only predictions
of what you want to see,
And perfection is always corrected
no matter what you believe.
Your spiderweb keeps thinning out,
Some kid just ripped your home from the sky.
Where will you lay your silky thread?
Come rest your head on my shoulder tonight.

Getting to You
03:48
|

|
I can be what I want to be,
If you let me in.
Green, brown, and red,
I saw it black and white instead,
Until I heard you sing.
I called it magic, the day that we met.
You called it tragic, and lit a cigarette.
I make one, and you make two,
We sure do make a pair.
Three times more I fell for (4) you,
I didn’t have a prayer.
You said it be magic if I disappeared,
I knew you could take it, so I whispered in your ear:
Heaven and Earth could be moved for a day or two.
The gods could be fooled,
for foolin’ is what they do,
If it meant getting to you. Getting to you.
I played my piece, and you just played yours,
And I just checked your king.
My love’s so sure, I’d play the game a thousand more,
If you’ll be my queen.
I knew it was magic, and I never second guessed.
Your love was my tactic, and I just took the match.
Heaven and Earth could be moved for a day or two.
The gods could be fooled,
for foolin’ is what they do,
If it meant getting to you. Getting to you.

Look Left
02:24

Look Left,
Look right,
We're gunna be alright tonight.
Traveling back in time,
My love, I might be late.
I'm distracted trying to dig up our past.
And if tomorrow,
you wake and don't see my face,
well, I'll make a change so our love will last.
Look Left,
Look right,
We're gunna be alright tonight.
Through the shallow depths of space,
I caught a ship.
And I took a nap on my way to Mars.
And when they kicked me out,
Scotty beamed me down,
And our love was written in the stars.
Look Left,
Look right,
We're gunna be alright tonight.

This is the worst song in the world
It makes the hair on your back start to curl.
And once it's in your head, you'll want to be be dead,
Cause it's the worst song in the wold.
This is the worst song that's ever been done.
It made my girlfriend up and run for the light.
And when she heard those tones,
She put herself in a coma that night.
Oh no,
It's been said,
That this song could raise the living dead.
And through all the criticisms,
and brain aneurysms that I know I've caused,
by writing this song.
Cause its the worst song that's ever been before,
I'm sorry to report there is no cure,
And once it's in your head,
You'll want to be dead,
Cause it's the worst song in the world.
Yes, it's the worst song in the world...

Do you remember the day,
When you first called out my name?
We went to the grocery store,
And we picked up more than we should.
Do you remember the day,
When we walked in the pouring rain?
People came to get us, but we ran away.
Thinking that we were insane.
I remember parachutes and lightning boots,
and telling your fortune, the findings on an old baseball card.
I remember singing to the chorus,
Mr. Quigley always taught us despite not knowing any of the chords.
I remember jamborees and jubilees
and mismanaged baseball leagues
Throwing my jersey to the floor.
I remember you and me,
and potpourri, and spitting it out,
I remember what it was all about.
Do you remember the day,
when we talked about us getting grey?
I said maybe I'd get fat,
Maybe you'd buy a cat,
Maybe 9, maybe 10, maybe 11, maybe 12, maybe 13...
Oh my god.
I remember parachutes and lightning boots,
and telling your fortune, the findings on an old baseball card.
I remember singing to the chorus,
Mr. Quigley always taught us despite not knowing any of the chords.
I remember jamborees and jubilees
and mismanaged baseball leagues
Throwing my jersey to the floor.
I remember you and me,
and potpourri, and spitting it out,
I remember what it was all about.

Off My Mind
03:19
|

|
Stop where you are,
I can't believe I let you get this far,
But you did, and now I know.
You came along,
Tapping your feet to your subliminal song,
How could I know soon I'd be singing it too?
I can't get you off my mind.
No matter how hard I try.
I can't get you off my mind.
It's no matter now, I don't want to ever start trying.
Oh what a fall,
It didn't seemed to have scathed you at all.
And I know I'm afraid I won't let go.
You were my dream,
coming at me in the dead of the night.
You lift me up, you answered my prayer.
You gave me a life, and you showed me the light.
So I could say,
Hey, what a day.
I didn't ever want to delay.
Your love, and mine. Entwined.
I can't get you off my mind.
No matter how hard I try.
I can't get you off my mind.
It's no matter now, I don't want to ever start trying.

You Say Yes
01:51

Everybody's gunna wish me goodnight,
with the wave of a hand, and the nod of a head,
despite the sun be shining in the afternoon, but
it shines so bright, they think it the moon, you know
I'm not fighting with the masses,
if it means I'm gunna fog the lenses of my glasses.
But I'm alright, if you're alright
and if you're by my side, then I'll be fine.
Everybody's got a major jump on,
the race we've been running and I'm lagging behind because,
I stopped a few moments just to catch my breath,
and by the time I looked up,
they were on to the next, you know
I drink some water as I lay down,
A half a mile, I had a break down,
But I'm alright, if you're alright
and if you're by my side, then I'll be fine.
I said no, no, no, no, no,
Let her go just to hold her tightly,
No, no, no, no, no
It may be love and you know it's likely,
No, no, no, no, no
If you say yes, then I will never say,
No, no, no, no, no.
My boss been giving me the third degree,
despite the Monday extra help
I only managed straight "C's"
You know she told me that she's worried
that my smile's been gone,
cause any time away from you seems
twice as long, you know
I couldn't picture being in it,
write it down there ain't no other way to spin it.
But I'm alright, if you're alright
and if you're by my side, then I'll be fine.
I said no, no, no, no, no,
Let her go just to hold her tightly,
No, no, no, no, no
It may be love and you know it's likely,
No, no, no, no, no
If you say yes, then I will never say,
No, no, no, no, no.
(...but really, yes and.)

Hopeless for that Night
03:41
|
|||
|
You were hopeless for that night
You were hopeless for that night
When troubles come round
And you’re alley bound
You were hopeless for that night
You were in-and-out of sight
You were blinding by the light
When fogs rolling in
And you’re stumblin’
You were hopeless for that night
A golden Earth girl fathered
A love so deep and bold
I keep coming back for you
No matter how long I’ve been told.
You were losing the long fight
You were sucked into the night
When love came to stay,
There was no escape
You were hopeless for that night
Sing it again now, ooh
A golden Earth girl fathered
A love so deep and bold
I keep coming back for you
No matter what I’ve been told.
You were losing the long fight
You were sucked into the night
When love came to stay,
There was no escape
You were hopeless for that night
Sing it again now, ooh
