What An Odd Thing To Say 03:03
lyrics
download
Words dance and duck they're never where you think they are you make them jump through every hoop they spin away each time I try to untangle them they're circulating in an endless loop so every time you call my name I wonder what you meant by that and when you say I love you, I think, hey, what an odd thing to say Words twist and twirl you've got them bouncing on a rubber band every time I try to pin 'em down they do their tricks just the way you trained them to no wonder that my head keeps spinning round chorus on this one occasion maybe you're just being direct that's the last thing I'd expect

Plenty Of Time 03:49
lyrics
download
Standing up, holding ground I will not take this sitting down I do not believe our lives are passing us by passing us by Why are you in such a hurry we got better things to do than worry someday the stars will all align we've got plenty of time Life is all, give and take in the end, it's only what you make it and we've made it pretty nice we're doing fine, doing fine Why are you always in a rush I think we're going fast enough we just left the starting line we've got plenty of time Just relax now, face the facts now things were always gonna be what they're gonna be time keeps marching on and on and we've got time before it's gone...

There's Never Enough 03:27
lyrics
download
The clock is never still I'm over on the downside of the hill I know it and it's such a bitter pill but that's the way it goes Although I feel OK the calendar gets thinner every day still I manage to fritter time away what is wrong with me? We get time every day but there's never enough save it up anyway but there's never enough time keeps ticking by, it keeps ticking by, it keeps ticking by and there's never enough We need a chance to speak but my schedule is looking pretty bleak it'll have to wait until next week how's Thursday for you Someday I've got to find an hour and a half I can call mine I hope before I lose my freaking mind that really would be nice

I've Decided 03:57
lyrics
download
There's something in the wind that keeps telling me this has to end and it's fogging up my mind I feel like I'm going through this life blind and divided, I've decided I don't want this life I can't take it anymore I don't want this life 'cause I'm tired of being at war with myself and everyone else I'm sick of saying it's fine everyone can see the end of the line when it's been coming on so long I've looked deep inside, and there are no more songs none provided, so I've decided chorus You can say I took the easy road didn't look so easy from here you've got no idea, the things that I fear

Falling 03:39
lyrics
download
I hear the phone, I let it keep on ringing don't wanna hear, the news that it might be bringing it might be you, I guess there's just no telling and I don't know, if you're buying what I'm selling there's only one way to find out and I'd rather wonder than remove all doubt Because I'm falling I'm falling so hard for you and I hope you're falling are you falling for me too because I'm falling I don't want to hit the ground I'd rather keep falling 'cause I won't be falling down, if you're around I hear the phone, but I'm not gonna get it might ring forever, but that's OK, just let it I still have hope, one bad call might remove it don't know the truth, and I don't want to prove it you want to give me the word I can't be disappointed in what I haven't heard Call me a coward yes, I'll confess but please don't call me unless the answer is yes

Could You Boil It Down For Me 03:06
lyrics
download
My head's in endless spin I've lost it once again such a confusing thing to be Can't keep up with the chase such a complicated place could you boil it down for me Oh, you don't know how I've tried I need to see the world simplified I am a simple man I just don't understand all the crazy things I see could you boil it down for me My train is off the rails bogged down in details I just need a summary of what it's all about help a brother out could you boil it down for me could you boil it down for me could you boil it down for me

Life Goes On And On [not safe for work] 04:56
lyrics
download
I've lived this day before I hope to live a million more it's all OK by me I've used this coffee cup ten thousand times I've filled it up and that's OK by me The sun, comes up the rooster crows, the day begins and life goes on and on and on and on the sun, goes down comes up again tomorrow morning life goes on and on and on and on I've lived this day before and once I step through my front door it's all OK by me I drive this way to work get cut off by some thoughtless jerk but that's OK by me chorus Ghandi had to get up every day and Blondie has to get up every day Tom Brady's got to get up every day and Lady Gaga gets up every day Neil Young still gets up every day Mao Tse Tung used to get up every day Charlie Sheen gets up every other day Cee Lo Green says "fuck you", gets up anyway Dakota Fanning probably gets up every day Peyton Manning didn't get up, but he got up yesterday

Crescent Moon 03:15
lyrics
download
Everything I ever need to know I learned before I turned 15 at the time, I wouldn't have believed it I didn't understand the things I'd seen These days I get it there's never been a tune that wouldn't sound better under a crescent moon Everything has a place and time and time keeps marching on among the things experience has taught me it's the things you miss when they are gone These days I get it there's never been a tune that wouldn't sound better under a crescent moon The little things, they take you by surprise the things you don't anticipate they're the ones you never can recapture and you won't know 'til it's too late These days I get it there's never been a tune that wouldn't sound better under a crescent moon

In A Strange Land 02:58
lyrics
download
Don't try to make conversation don't look me in the eye if you say anything to me don't get upset when I don't reply and don't ask me why, cause I am a stranger I am a stranger I am a stranger in a strange land Don't pretend that you know me and don't act like you care it's probably better for both of us if you just act like I'm not there cause I'm not anywhere I am a stranger I am a stranger I am a stranger in a strange land Never again never again Don't believe you'll convince me where so many have tried I built a fortress around me no one else will ever get inside you'll be denied, cause I am a stranger I am a stranger I am a stranger in a strange land

We Need To Talk 03:17
lyrics
download
It's hard to believe you weren't raised by wolves you live in society and don't know the rules it takes a special gift to always say exactly the wrong things in every way but it's all right I'd gotten used to it that's what I thought but then after all there came that one last straw broke the camel's back let's take a walk we need to talk It's hard to believe you weren't abandoned at birth must have been obvious you were destined for less you've totally lived up to those ambitious plans you set the bar so low... way to go what, were you raised in a basement? didn't they let you out of the basement?

I can't catch up I can't catch up my feet keep failing me they're not fast enough just go on without me I can't catch up I can't catch up I can't catch up I'm totally buried in useless stuff just leave me for dead, boys I can't catch up I used to be in front I used to lead the way but now I'm just the roadkill in the gutter where I lay [weirdness] I used to be the man I used to lead the pack now my legs are waving like a turtle on its back [more weirdness] I can't catch up I can't catch up I'm a lifetime loser the world is calling my bluff I'm as good as gone, boys I can't keep up

Behind The Door 03:00
lyrics
download
Behind the door and up the stairs there is a room where no one cares they try to sleep. but sleep won't come behind the door, they're on the run In the dead of the night the faces hide from the light but the dawn will come once more and you can't hide behind the door You've got to face what you've done in the hard sight of daylight under the sun Behind the door, you want to stay because the truth gets in the way but we all know what you hide from behind the door, your day will come You've got to face what you said you've got the sword of Damocles over your head Behind the door, you want to stay because the truth gets in the way but we all know what you hide from behind the door, your day will come

Olive Oil And Worcestershire 04:07
lyrics
download
Don’t know where you are but I’m writing you letters In my head every minute Today I was making a grocery list And found myself writing you in it Oranges and ginger tea I hope that you remember me Thinking of you always, dear Olive oil and worcestershire There are so many things I need to tell you You left without a goodbye I’ll tie this list to a pigeon And hope that he knows where to fly It’s been a couple of years now I’ve walked a few hundred miles Pacing the floors in the markets Walking the condiment aisles

about

All these songs, with the exception of the second verse of #3, were written and demoed in February 2012, in conjunction with FAWM (February Album Writing Month, which you should check out at fawm.org ). Because, what else do you have to do in February, for cryin’ out loud? March was spent updating the demos and/or redoing them entirely. Then I pared the 23 songs down to these 15 for mass consumption. So consume.

I don’t know if this makes for the most cohesive album – the time constraints of FAWMing generally force you to take your first idea and run with it, without considering how a particular song or style fits with the others, or with whatever "image" you have of yourself and your particular “thing”. So in addition to the usual power pop stuff I gravitate towards, there’s at least a few little hints of country, blues and other things poking out of these songs. And I’m OK with that.
