I’d say it’s simple: life is hard. The race is long, and the finish is far. It’s cold outside; my car won’t start. And Karma’s a bitch, only if you are. When I’m with you, I don’t feel blue. I feel golden holdin’ you. When I’m with you, I don’t feel blue. I feel golden holdin’ you. Rochester, you’re just like they say. You sometimes cold, but your always grey. And as I prayed for something black and white, you were there hiding in plain sight. When I’m with you, I don’t feel blue. I feel golden holdin’ you. When I’m with you, I don’t feel blue. I feel golden holdin’ you. When I’m green, I’m filled with envy. I see them all as reasons you left me, and yeah, I know you’re coming home. But, I find it hard waitin’ out the day alone. When I’m with you, I don’t feel blue. I feel golden holdin’ you. When I’m with you, I don’t feel blue. I feel golden holdin’ you. I feel funky paisley pinks, faded greys on wasted days, passion and purple, orange and yellow… I feel a lot of things, but I’m not mellow. I love you. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah I love you. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah I love you. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah I love you. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah I love you. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Indie Rock Show 02:34
lyrics

I am so excited I can’t stop standing still. Dude, I love this band so much. I can’t wait to fold my arms and tap my foot. I’m pretty pumped for their new t-shirts. I’m gonna pick one up. You want one? You’re at an indie rock show. You’re at an indie rock show. You’re at an indie rock show. Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! No one has ever spent as much energy moving as those of you resisting the urge. On Monday morning, Jan from accounting is gonna ask you, “What’d you do this weekend?” “I went to this cool dive bar on the west side and saw this awesome band scotch the filmmaker. I had such a good time.” And you’re going to think about this moment and how you should have done something besides tap your foot and nod your head all night. You’re at an indie rock show. You’re at an indie rock show. You’re at an indie rock show. Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance!

Let’s get naked, really naked. Let’s Get it on. I want to talk about, I wanna talk about, feeling fine. It’s only kinky, It’s only kinky, the first time. So let’s get naked, really naked. Let’s get it on. I don’t want to tie you down. I want to tie you up. So baby tell me now, have you had enough. Feeling fine (Don’t tell me you’re feeling fine) Feeling fine (You know I can’t read your mind) Feeling fine (But I know you’ve been lying) Feeling Fine (Baby don’t you waste my time) Leave the lights on Leave the lights on Low Don’t keep me waiting Cause I’m not patient I’m ready to go. If it’s not easy Then it’s not easy Just take it slow. Sharp and pointy Or hot and cold Sensational. I don’t want to tie you down. I want to tie you up. So baby tell me now, Have you had enough. Feeling fine (You’re reaking havoc) Feeling fine (It’s automatic) Feeling fine (push start) Feeling Fine (now) Let’s get naked, really naked. Let’s Get it on. I want to talk about, I wanna talk about, feeling fine. It’s only kinky, It’s only kinky, the first time. So, let’s get naked, really naked. Let’s get it on.

When in rome 04:23
lyrics

When in Rome, do as the Romans do, but when you’re home, you do as you’re told to. And, now that we’re alone, I just want to see you be you. Give it up. You know too much. You’ve got to leave me now. You never loved me anyhow. Give it up. You know too much. You’ve got to leave me now. You never loved me anyhow. I’m a heartbreaker babe. I can’t lie. Someday gone come when I’ll say goodbye. You knew too well what I meant, when I said fear of abandonment. Give it up. You know too much. You’ve got to leave me now. You never loved me anyhow. Give it up. You know too much. You’ve got to leave me now. You never loved me anyhow. She said she’d been thinkin’ that she’d rather be alone. But now she’s been drinkin’ so she calls me on the phone. Is it a show of affection or a cry for help. You say that you’re moving on. But, I can’t tell. You say you can’t love yourself, so you can’t love me. I don’t believe you when you say your gonna leave. After a couple glasses of Chianti, you know you’re gonna want me. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Now you’re home, and you don’t know what to do. You’re all alone, but you push me away from you. On the phone, I’ve got nothing to say to you. Except… Give it up. You know too much. You’ve got to leave me now. You never loved me anyhow. Give it up. You know too much. You’ve got to leave me now. You never loved me anyhow.

Bagan Woman 04:10
lyrics

Well I’ve been around the world and I’ve seen a couple things, but nothing quite gets to me like the way that she sings. She sings to the birds as one of her own beautiful melodies in the tongue of her home. The words are simple. Her voice is soft and light. The temple is deserted just like the night. No I don’t know what you’re feeling, but I think I can understand. I don’t know who you are, and I don’t know who I am. I think I know the feeling. I can see it in your eyes, feel it in your touch, hear it in your sighs. She has an easy sweetness. She sings to the sea. She is an untouched jewel reaching out to me. Well, Children are the joy of the world. But you and I, are just a boy and a girl. Just a reflection Just a reflection Just a reflection Just a reflection Just a reflection We are all just reflections of the sun.

Big Ol' Love 04:32
lyrics

Like a well mixed drink you lit me up inside, and to think we only met you needed a ride. I’m sick of praying for a problem for a problem with an easy solution. Just a little luck and a lot of timing, this is not a silver lining. I’m sick of praying for a problem with an easy solution. I want it all to work out this time. You make me feel You make me feel right You make me feel right at home You make me feel You make me feel right You make me feel right at home right at home I’ve got the windows down and the radio up and I’m feeling good cause I’m in love. I’ve heard these cliches one too many times about life and love and state of mind. I’m not looking for another kind. I want it all to work out this time. cuz... You make me feel You make me feel right You make me feel right at home You make me feel You make me feel right You make me feel right at home Right at home Big Ol’ Love (Repeated) I didn’t fall in love I walked right in I didn’t fall in love I walked right in You make me feel You make me feel right You make me feel right at home You make me feel You make me feel right You make me feel right at home right at home

Love won’t kill you in the night. One of my ex-girlfriends might. Love won’t kill you in the night. Love will kill you slowly It’s not supposed to hurt Love will kill you slowly It’s not supposed to hurt Love will kill you slowly Love won’t kill you with a knife. One of my ex-girlfriends might. Love won’t kill you with a knife. Love will kill you slowly It’s not supposed to hurt Love will kill you slowly It’s not supposed to hurt Love will kill you slowly I want a suicidal blonde a homicidal brunette, someone to love and to keep me in check. I’m gonna work ‘till I die and deserve what I get, a pool of blood and a whole lot of sweat. I thank the sun and the moon and the stars in the sky. I’m a love you until I die. I want a suicidal blonde a homicidal brunette, someone to love and to keep me in check. I’m gonna work ‘till I die and deserve what I get, a pool of blood and a whole lot of sweat. I thank the sun and the moon and the stars in the sky. I’m a love you until I die.

Song about a girl #2 03:40
lyrics
buy track
She’s cultured and refined and impeccably dressed. Her only perfume is the smell of success. In an arrogant tone, she speaks a little bit of french. She’s the kind of girl that makes a man fear death. She’s in love but not with you. She’s in love, if only she knew. And you could say she was smoking ‘fore her cigarette was lit. She had a target in her eyes and a lie on her lips, a wink, and a glace that felt just like kiss. You think she’d be happy but something was a miss (amiss). She’s in love but not with you. She’s in love, if only she knew. Said she was smokin’ on your most important secrets Got tobacco in her eyes. Goodbye on her hips Working for tips Sinkin’ me quick Now I’m smokin’ a cig And having a sit. I’m boyfriend #2 Higher on the list than you. Last week I was #9 Had the potion on my mind Now, I really feel so dumb Cuz girlfriends #1. I got no chance in those pants And she don’t dance she lean back I’m never gonna get those jeans back And I really miss that lean crack I could watch her plumbing all day And she Always looking for the sun no shade Not even an inch on the real estate and it’s making me shake I smokin’ smokin’ smokin’ Wanna peak like the door’s open Wanna beep but the beeper’s broken Wanna B, but I get a c minus Fine just please let me get the car keys Please, can you pay for the parking You know I really don’t mind walking I don’t really have time for talking She’s in love but not with you. She’s in love, if only she knew.

As long as you're there 03:07
lyrics

I used to go to parties and drink way too much Wake up in the morning in need of a crutch I’d love to say I've grown up, The truth is not that much I don't know what the future holds But I don't care if I'm unprepared With no more need for wishes I sold my remaining stars Swept my last under the pattern of my scars You can see it in my face and the holes in my arms. I don't know what that shows, But I don't care if people stare. Maybe baby I've plane old crazy in love with you And just been too afraid to say something so close to the truth Hold me close I know just what to do No, I don't know what the future holds But as long as you're there, I don't care

Real Tall Super Punk 03:12
lyrics
buy track
It’s Tuesday night 11 PM and she just left her friends on a false pretense. A couple more drinks and I’ll be easy to forget. You can just put me out like your last cigarette. Just a quick one cause we’re both drunk. It means nothin’ you say. It means nothin’ Don’t bring him in. Don’t bring him up. If it’s not over, then it’s still too much. And it’s too soon To be the end. This may not be love But we’re not We’re not friends And If you love me still, I don’t wanna know. You say honest I’m just playing but I’m not just a plaything. Her friends tell me it’d be smart to leave But when I make it out the door, She’s there waiting for me. and I’ve given in and I’ve given up I’ve had enough of the same old luck. Don’t bring him in. Don’t bring him up. If it’s not over, then it’s still too much. And it’s too soon To be the end. This may not be love But we’re not We’re not friends And If you love me still, I don’t wanna know.
