Breathe It In 03:53
lyrics
Breathe It In Why must we wait for the night? I’m not afraid of the dark But I’m scared to be seen Way out of mind out of sight You warm my body And I hold your heart to the light To decide If I can let myself be free here with you tonight Chorus Let it down Let the sounds that crowd your mind get stripped away Take it off Let the beating of your heart be all you hear Breathe it in Let the fire inside you clarify your sight Breathe it out any self control that quiets you tonight Why does my head sound so loud Why can’t I fly away Silently watch from a crowd I see the love in your eyes Can you see mine I find it so hard to disguise But I try So I can let myself be safe here with you tonight Chorus

No Future 03:56
lyrics
No Future Tell me again of the way it was then I’ve got a minute to kill till I’m gone Smile at Me kindly and try to remind me Life is more than the pills than I’m on Cause your deafening silence and unspoken violence Have taken away my time There’s nothing to live for So take back your peace-core Your values have caused this crime My Phone My Looks My Likes My Pain My Hair My Ride My Size My Ex My God My Score My Judge My Pride My Soul My Dog My Rank My Nails My Lawn My Weight My Job My Boat My Bank My Name My God My Fate Tell Me tomorrow of you Infinite sorrow And I’ll try to shed my tears Your habits are lawless and Blameless: your solace But that doesn’t calm my fears Your manhoods in peril Your conscience is ferrel The first word you spoke was “me” Now that you’re older A corporate stake holder You’ve got nothing left but grief Chorus

In Bed With Two Brothers 04:30
lyrics
In Bed With Two Brothers Your brother’s on my left His brother’s on my right I’ve been your middle spoon For many a fun filled night You tie me to your wooden bedpost You share me like a plastic toy I’m a gift from Dad for you both to enjoy Your hands reach past my face You hold each other in a warm embrace And I keep real still And pray that I don’t be replaced Chorus: How Can I live without your love? (You said I couldn’t live without you) How can I live without you? I feel suffocated trying to talk to you You’ve got all the words friends think you’re the best There’s a heavy weight upon my chest I’d like to leave and yet I don’t protest maybe I’ve been blessed How can I live without you love? How can I live without you? You crack the whip, you dress me up, tell me what to say. You bring your friends around and you put me on display I clean the mess they left a nasty oily stain You never follow through on our promised wedding day It’s time to raise my head Kick these fat men out of my bed Cut the Greasy Ties Take the Blidnfold off of My Eyes Wipe the bedpost clean Cut this brotherly love-scene Gotta stand on my two feet Put the boys back on the street. Come on (let go)

Power and Great Glory 03:33
lyrics
Power and Great Glory Luke 21:27 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Seek the truth but seek it silently Many the rules apply to you not me Man came first so you must follow me Glory be mine tonight Don’t try to teach me I’m a man by God And you are my servant so sayeth the lord you picked the fruit and now the snakes all crawl Glory be mine tonight Boy, We Gotta Find a Better Way To Prove Our Might This Book of Rules is wrong as often as it’s right. And I still believe that it’s a fantasy. This burning tree saying you belong to me

Now Take Me Home 02:47
lyrics
Now Take Me Home I think you’re the girl I might have known My kids are old and now I’m grown please hold me tight, and don’t let go oh what's your name I’d like to know my memorys hazy now thats true when i first cried did you cry too? or was it you who said I do Would you help me find my other shoe? I’ve had a good life now take me home Tuck me in while the kids are still full grown you’ve taught me every little thing I know tonight I’ll sing this song … a lonely night so long ago you sent me off to school I wore that uniform and learn the golden rules when I came back you held me tight and married me in June or was that you? last night I shouted out your name but the words I heard werent quite the same you held me close and said it’s alright Mama’s here to stay with you through the night tonight I’ll sing this song alone Of how my love for you so brightly shone Though I’m confused some days I know I’ll be with you no matter where I go Please tuck me In I’ve got to go Please tuck me In I’ve got to go

Smile Smile Smile 05:41
lyrics
Smile Smile Smile Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag And smile smile smile While you’ve a Lucifer to light your fag Smile boys that’s the style boys What’s the use of worrying It never was worthwhile Smile boys smile So, pack up your troubles in your old kit bag And smile smile smile Smile Smile Smile Pack up your troubles in your old kitbag and Smile boys, smile boys, smile boys Lemonade and playing ball Pressing apples in the fall Fresh baked bread that smiles so fine Hiding whisky, making wine Gazing at the starts at night Your Jasmin pendant in the moonlight Seeing futures in your eyes Horseback riding, apple pies Autumn harvest rocking chairs The moon reflecting from your hair Fixing curtains, flying kits Putting kids to bed at night

Typical Guy 03:18
lyrics
Typical Guy I’m just a typical guy, I know May Sun rise and fall with me I’m just a typical guy Every mirror still casts a reflection of me Cause I’m just a typical guy I am the crucified man take my hand cause the Scales tip in favour of me I am the crucified man, my son Every day of the year has been offered to me Except one But boys lets sing to the world of injustice Give us back our day you can trust us To be your saviour on earth and bare witness I am the king of the world Every girl wears her pearls as a tribute to me I am the king of the land And my eyes and my hand opens gifts up for me Cause I am the king of the land But if you were queen of my world You would know it The portraits I sent from the Throne room would show it The envious ladies in court would cry oh no no I am the image of god, my dog Rest your neck and your head on my knee I am the image of god And I spare not the rod as I part the Red Sea. Cause I am the image of God. Chorus 3: But some of my children would bid me deny it They took our rule book and tried to rewrite it. Bend their knees and bid them be quiet. I’m just a typical guy I know May Sun rise and fall with me I’m just a typical guy Every mirror still casts a reflection of me Cause I am the image of God. I am the king of the world I am the crucified man I’m just a typical guy

The Blue Sky Doesn' Cry At Night 03:56
lyrics
The Blue Sky Doesn’t Cry at Night Gotta admit we had some really good times Trying on t-shirts in the waiting room line flying our kites until they carried us home Playing Atari, Watching Home Alone You tried to believe me when I said I felt fine You raised a Kool-Aid glass, I couldn’t raise mine sitting beside me as your other friends played And I must confess I felt so lucky you stayed But like our kites the time has flown away And like Atari we woke up in El Paso yesterday Kevin left home, through the hole, with the kool aid man oh yeah And I’m gonna fly and you know why The blue sky doesn’t cry at night Why did you sit with me each day after school when you could be outside in a warm sunny pool Ya softly remind me that I am your best friend And you’d be beside me every day til the end But like our kites the time has flown away And like water wings in the sunny pool in May And like the grounded southpaw who never gets to play I won’t betray like an airway in year by year decay So I’m gonna fly and you know why The blue sky doesn’t cry at night

So White, Invisible 03:56
lyrics
So White, Invisible (Dedicated in humility to the residents of the Portapique, Nova Scotia) I glue my moustache And comb back my hair Brush my teeth and give an Icy cold stair I check my name tag and straighten my tie I look the part. Do you see through my disguise? False ride, wounded pride Bought stickers in the mail I am the hero of this bedtime fairytale I have a message One last lesson left to tell: Respect the man or else I’ll see you in hell Dark night, moon was bright Red shadow on the road I move from house to house And make my message known You should have sung my praise But now the earth’s about to quake Cause I’m not the law and yes this badge is a fake This is my march, my final celebration This is my fight, against this forced castration My marble arch will tell the world my story Until the end comes Keep singing songs of my glory Oh what a shame things had to end in such a way I bought my tank of gas and never got to pay I’d sink my teeth in every rotten stinking’ mouth But now my jobs complete and I’m heading south I am the man, the son and soon I’ll be the ghost My name will ring out across the land from coast to coast You tried to take away my seat above the rest But you’ll regret that when I win this final test

When Lost For Time 04:09
lyrics
When Lost for time Had I seen All I had Had I known There’s No Plan These are our thoughts when lost for time This was the calm we sought to find Our limitations well defined Who built this cage inside my mind? These are the looks from which we shied These are the doubts that drowned our pride Our hearts and bones we dust with lime These are the fears we hold inside Until you find your minds inline with times design Your cries and lies supply the flies inside the souls a foal you can't control a lump of coal, a bowl, a goal, a role, a grassy knoll But it's all we've got to clime Cause we're all just lost for time! This is the choice we agonized These are the legs we paralyzed Our precious time we normalize our truer selves lobotomized This is the choice we agonize These are the legs we paralyzed Our precious time we normalize Our Truer selves lobotomized This is the love we thought contrived This was the joy our shame denied Our sacred hearts we pushed aside These are our thoughts when lost for time
