What's True Love?
05:16
|
|||
|
(person one)
I've got a little heart that never falls too deep
Never ever!
It's not enough enough to make tears form
Leaves for much simplicity
But, how beautiful is love?
One two three
Where I'd like to be is caught in true love
Is true love a spider spinning me round
her pounding heart beat?
Is her love poison that I want in me?
What's true love?
Is true love like diamonds hidden so deep
that when you find them your rich forever ever?
What's true love?
I've got a little heart that never falls too deep
Never ever ever!
It's not enough to make knees weak
Cheeks rose
Honestly not enough!
I need to feel love!
(person two)
True love's a junk yard with everything you need
True love's a dirt road that bends and never ends
True love is the space between you and I

Mountain Lion

Mountain Lion
Oh, mountain lion!
You're calling through the thicket of my dreaming
Mountain Lion
Oh, mountain lion!
Have mercy i'll be gone by early morning
Sweet summertime, blessed starlight
all sinkin' in as I'm further from the highway
HIgher and higher Im a-climbin'
Then I lay me down on mothers forest floor
Late at night, ain't no vigilante!
I'd be huckin' sticks and stones at babies wakin' me!
Laid beside this old mountain lion
with a face full of her own mountain stones
Now I'm slidin' down this old hillside
Skatin' down, mad, in my brown dress shoes
nearly lost my fiddle stash spot
cross the highway california
Mountain Lion
Oh, mountain lion!
Mountain Lion
Oh, mountain lion!

Ah! But Rightly So!
02:13
|

Leaves are bustling ‘round all along the orchard
oh but how they blow blow
oh but how they blow blow
Trees are rustling ‘round all along the ocean
how the wind does know them
oh! but rightly so!
Greens are turning brown, reds a-turning golden
soon the land is snowed in
soon the land is snowed in
Winds are whistling round all the little sirens
soon to be reminded
ah! but rightly so!
Seven Seas are thrashing round, see the endless storming
while the leaves doth blow blow
while the trees doth sow sow
peace shall not be found! not to be rewarded
how the wrath was ordered
ah! but rightly so!
Dearest frail one! fall into your grace love
all will have repentance
all will have repentance
Dearest frail one fall into your grace love
Ah the last remembrance
ah! but rightly so!

the Squat Fire
03:59
|

listen while i tell you about the squat fire
it happens around noon
smoke fills the air
the days are getting long
tis very high noon
HAh! Someone calls to you!
HAh! Someone calls to you!
everything was about
chamber of a boy of 14 years in there
palm leaves on the ground
worn down to fine hairs
No one could have expected this
Such a merry band
Believe it must be for the best!
Simply reminisce
Everyone comes round
to stick their high nose in it
everyone needs a glimpse
of the once green soot pit
Hard as stone or the other
we all must carry on!
Doubtless it will be together
Everything is different now
and the squat fire burns like it wants to burned
the boats move along just the same
the dragon flies decend to the waterside
flee from the hill

All Along the Canyon
03:10
|

|
Well you carry on swiftly how the rivers run
and you take it from the evergreen fountain
You let her down easy when the dole's low
And let her know where she may find you:
All along the canyon
through the brown valleys and high above the reaches of the mountain
Long bustling highways
Through all your follies
you ride with an air of bounty!
Well you let go quickly of the beasts to your life
But theres a fire that just keeps on burning
you Peeter down easy for to rest the night
Then arise to meander in the morning
All along the canyon
Through the brown valleys and high above the reaches of the mountain
Long bustling highways
Through all your follies
You ride with an air of bounty!

Heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart
Heart of gold and diamonds
Virgin hands on sweet skin
Blessed we are sweet friend
Spoons of stars sifting down, down
Down from your eyelashes batted slow
Makes me cry moons and sing loon sounds
Southern swoons swing low down
One hundred horses charge I
But with you I fear not
With you I share a thought
"Forever in swoon love"

This Hearse
02:59
|
|||
|
Oh! I remember pretty waltzing 'round
I remember those days well!
And Oh! You went down to the edge of me
But I, never you
We highjacked our own hearse
And it rides forever down
I drive overnight while you lay sleeping in the back
Believe what I say girl we gotta ditch this ride
We'll drive it to the lake and send it in
This hearse rides upon the wings of fate until its bitter end
And I thought bitter fate was mine to change
So I turn the last bend
Upon the hill we stop the car
And peer through one thousand eyes
Two for every moment shape us
What we've got and what we've lost,
by light of hell fire, shown
We pushed the car into the fire

'Cause You Want Me Love
04:40
|
|||
|
well, it's a long road that leads to you
and I'm a soft hearted weary bard!
Now I wont cry, i never do cause I know, darlin', what is true
So I wont fall hard in all I do
I wont crawl past folk in twos
'Cause you want me love
'Cause you want me love
So, now it's summer and I am pleased
Such wonder and I stay for these
My friends all are scattered and free
LIke you darling and like me
So I don't fall hard in all I do
I don't crawl past folk in twos
'Cause you want me love
'Cause you want me love
Yeah i Don't want nobody new
A bit tired of leaving but seems to be what i do
We've home girl
But you want me love
But you want me love
Like stones, we all have learnt to be
Like a stone I often can sink deep
But I roll well and I think you two
Wrong! I roll faster than i'd like to do!
But i don't fall hard in all I do
I don't crawl past folk in twos!
'Cause you want me love
'Cause you want me love
Yeah i don't fall hard in all i do
I don't crawl past folk in twos
'Cause you want me love
'Cause you want me love

Now that the lords bearing no power more
how rouge the peoples actions, rouge the peoples souls
i am a gentle barterer oh dabby oh!
Once i believed in the creeds i was told
but weary is any barter to whom god is sold!
I am a gentle barterer oh dabby oh!
Released this night was the demon that will take this world under
I tried to trade him my fairest daughter
Released this night was the guardian that smite me with his thunder
What a terrible fit of shame I had I drown me in the water
Peace is a dream woven round your lifeless body
Beauty is a different matter dear
and love is certainly another
I was a simple field man with many a pretty daughter
love is an entertainer
peace is the death of laughter
Released that night was the demon that would take the world under
i tried to trade him my fairest daughter!
Released that night was a guardian who smite me with his thunder
Now Im am a simple field child of only seven years
I am a simple field child of only seven years

The Cat Brain You Washed
02:49
|

|
Look at that! Synthetic is your one love instead of all of your art!
Having been stored
Can't find your other one
I wasn't the cat brain you washed
Cat brain you washed
Can't envy no one!
No one loves you much!
In a parallel,
I wasn't the cat brain you washed
Cat brain you washed
Cat brain

Goodbye! Goodbye!
02:24
|
|||
|
Your pouches are filled
with small change that jingles when you step
You step like a crane
and your neck stretches to the sky
Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!
I'm just your song bird
I'm just your song bird
Who's gone flown on by
Give it rest, rest, rest
Your broke and you need
But you can't just get!
Im sad to displease but thats all I've got
If you want me to be something I'm not!
Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!
I'm just your songbird
I'm just your songbird
Who's gone flown on by
