Flowers and Gardens 02:19
lyrics

So you missed the train Standing in the rain You watch it disappear again This time it was so close Right in front your nose You really need someone to blame And I think you take it well You never had the gift To discover or to lift Pick a winner is always risky It’s a tricky one Time can prove you wrong You need a nose to pick a whisky I think you take it well And slashing is so simple Anyone can spot a pimple But I think you take it well Well I was told today You wrote a wide array Of books on gardening and plants Maybe I was wrong Misjudged you all along Maybe you can when I just can’t So keep exploring that well And I can loathe myself

Length Of The Ride 03:41
lyrics
buy track
I can’t even remember now, the first time that we spoke It must’ve been sometime early spring We were never meant to be close to close Little did I know what time would bring It’s funny, lucky, or maybe sad We don’t know where we’re heading at Or the length of the ride Many times I’ve wondered why I’ve been ignored With all my loved ones still on board Maybe this is where my luck finally runs out, just as yours and you will be my first cause If you only fill your bag, and never do unpack you know that someday it will burst It’s funny, lucky, or maybe sad We don’t know where the train is going Or the length of the ride Many times I’ve wondered why I’ve been ignored With all my loved ones still on board One year on you’re out of it, a sigh of relief But still something has changed The kryptonite has got to me, vaporized my shield The incubator’s cracked, splinters fall like rain While I was busy writing this, and you busy getting well Someone else left the train

Takeoffs and Crashes 02:16
lyrics

I hope we’re going to be friends I hope we’re going to be friends Always going to be friends And you know I knew from early days Walking to school through those alleyways That somewhere further down the line We we’re destined to be partners in crime And if that plane came down in fire and fumes Would I take care of you children for you? Yes I would Yes I would I hope we’re going to be friends Always going to be friends The plane won’t crash, the kite won’t fail It will just take off, and you away There’s many chapters in this tale Many seas for you to sail And if late one night I’d receive a note That you’re about to write The last episode You know I will drop what’s on my mind Let my worries off the hook And I’ll be on the morning flight To be there when you close your book Yes I will I will I hope we’re going to be friends I hope we’re going to be friends Always going to be friends Always going to be friends

Grand Piano 03:34
lyrics

Suddenly it’s so quiet Like a joke that missed the mark Just the thoughts inside the head Sparkles longing for the dark It’s remnants of what is lost Like neutrons gone astray Running out of control That collide and detonate And the words that I wrote you On your grand piano Now rings untrue And the promise that I gave you Sounds so futile And so out of tune I want to be that crutch I want to lend that hand I want to be that ear But time is your only friend The only one to hear And to understand I read the words that you wrote me The meaning coming through It all comes from you And the promise that I gave you Although futile Still might someday come true

Just a Boy 02:47
lyrics
buy track
It’s so liberating watching you play So mind-boggling to stay that way Swing from tree to tree From game to game I am thinking: That’s the way to stay and not come down Carefree in infinity No responsibilities But baby you’re a big boy now You sweep into the office In your immaculate suit A smile that open vaults Words that seduce You sip those drinks with ease and grace One hand free to steer away From any iceberg threatening your convoy Cause you’re in charge of this whole fleet A whole world is at your feet But baby you are still a little boy You sip those drinks with ease and grace One hand free to steer away From any iceberg threatening your convoy Cause you’re in charge of this whole fleet A whole world is at your feet But baby you are still a little boy

The End 03:37

Money can take you far Beauty can take you far Parents can take you far Friendships can take you far Schooling can take you far Handshakes can take you far Uncles can take you far Spouses can take you far But taking it for granted It’s the end It’s the end Implants can take you far Language can take you far Genetics can take you far Secrets clubs can take you far But taking it for granted It’s the end It’s the end I say this because I love you I say this because I care I say this because I wish you All the fortune that you can carry But if you don’t carry it yourself It’s the end It’s the end

Ain't Gonna Happen 02:26

Walking down the aisle with Mr Perfect take that final class, get your diploma stop worrying about those extra kilos Get an overnight apartment in Barcelona Get up early, start the day out running Finishing the novel in your drawer Give up gossiping about absent friends Have a word of truth with your employer It ain’t gonna happen… Get a backup disc and store it safely stopping by your grandma at the center return the book you borrowed from a schoolmate learn another language, and then another It ain’t gonna happen… Moving to a house with your new boyfriend Quit your job and open a taverna Be a better more supportive parent Be a better more supportive daughter Spend the summer reading Marcel Proust Tell your friends how much you really love them Tumble down the stairway in Odessa Sell the second car and join a car pool Walking down the aisle with Mr Perfect

Children 04:20

You hate your mother For not letting go You hate her weakness And for letting it show You hate your father For being overprotective For all the fears That he just projected Spit out that poison Spit out that taste Go get your crayons And wipe out that slate You hate your mother For not being there ‘n You blame your father For her disappearing Suck out that poison Spit out that taste Cut off that hate-line Reboot, update You hate your father For giving in to whims You hate yourself For being him Spit out that venom Spit out that taste Don’t give your children Someone to hate

Stoneage Romeos 02:44
lyrics

There was a girl helping me get over somebody else Helping me get over somebody else Helping me get over somebody else Helping me get over somebody else That I used to love We kissed goodbye, you said you’d call me or that maybe I should call you You walked away, never looked back to see if I was looking back at you And I walked away Looking back She helped me get over that girl She helped me get over that girl She helped me get over that other girl She helped me get over that other girl That I used to love You walked away over the bridge to have a talk with your ex-boyfriend And I went back and passed the shop we’re we just stopped to pick our phones up And I went in and bought a record back that I once gave away to a girlfriend Yes I went in and picked emotions up I once gave up when I thought I surrendered And I went home With Stoneage Romeos You helped me get over her You helped me get over her You helped me get over her You helped me get over her Her that I used to love

Titles and Frames 03:25
lyrics

In a world of games titles and frames where one is cast aside like change in favor of someone with a slightly more promising name It’s a treacherous path through marshy plains one foot wrong and it’s all down the drain it’s a slow ascend, a life-long climb the guard must never be let down It’s not enough to stay alive it’s all about sailing in style It’s a treacherous path through marshy plains one foot wrong and it’s all down the drain it’s a life-long climb to reach the top Never rest, always up You must always know, as you ascend on whom to step or to befriend there is no room, to hesitate Success, she never waits So look for signs, in words, in clothes and be prepared, to let them go Enter: you, saying who is this this person that’s in front of me no formula, no recipe just curious, just empathy Exit you into the void Board your ship, across the sea and it’s plain to see, that when you leave That’s the way we ought to be

The Universe (The One She Loves) 03:00

For a fraction of a milli-micro-second time stops Planets hanging in limbo Earth stops spinning Motions blocked As Universe dives in to pick Out the one she really loves And the world spins on And the world spins on And the world spins on…
