"There You Are Again" Soul never gon' learn when I sink, you return our moves our palindromes Soul, swear you're no bore I swear I've seen you before same rules apply, y'know... I'm more convinced by every moment that you say you're leaving the sent of you still turns my head before my feet can hold me down Are you here with somebody? Or were you here with somebody before Now, are you here with somebody like me (silence) (Ah ah) Think I'd give it up that easy? I'll make the moves so you'll be sure you never go unnoticed I'll play the big chords and the high notes just to get your motions down are ya here with somebody? Were ya here with somebody before now are you here with somebody like me are ya here with somebody? Were ya here with somebody before now are you here with somebody like Cold shoulder return I make a move and get burned the chills are echoing Soul, tell me I'm wrong we plant the seed and we're gone but you're never gone...

"So Long, In So Far..." I've been awake so long, in so far as i can be so long, in so far as you and me so long, in so far as we can see so much for ever getting- I've got a million different visions goin through my mind it's the same as anything you've ever heard, my crimes are consistent with the motives and the way you'll find me sprawled across the floor repeating beats and rambling on that you could wait so long in so far as i can be so long, in so far as you and me so long, in so far as we can see so much, for ever getting- you could tell me where to go, well ya know that i don't need no release but you know, there's no condition that is half the same as you here with me and i'm pleased, but you seem so bent on knowin, every bit as you I'm alone so who are you with the chemicals gone, 'cause i believe so much in so far but i can't tell you from the hell that you dragged me through it's so long in so far as i can so long in so far as i can so long in so far as i can be and I won't be party to all that you need (chorus) so much for ever getting sleep.

"The Dick Stephens Blues" Don’t wanna get up today  Don’t wanna put on a suit don’t wanna fool with them  But what am I s’posed to say?  “Guess I came down with a case of the F--k-Its”?  Should I shave? No.  I’m gonna leave, I gonna leave there.  Will I get paid? No.  Somebody got some big idea, they wanna talk about it.  At 7am...  Gotta put on a damn tie.  Gotta convince some yes-man that I’m right.  That I can do I my own job better than he can  So don’t you bother me  I ain’t pissed but now I  don’t want cause to be.  Make a list, well now there’s  Just three things I need,  Quiet, coffee and work.  And I don't like coffee all that much.  But I'ma need it today...  (I'ma need it today)  Till I can go home to something more familiar  eat lunch with someone more familiar  Or play with someone brand new in my family  So I can go home to something more familiar  eat lunch with someone more familiar  Or play with someone brand new in my family, but now  Gotta put on a damn tie.  Gotta convince some yes-man that I’m right.  That I can do I my own job better than he can  So don’t you bother me  I ain’t pissed but now I don’t want cause to be  Make a list, well now there’s  Just three things I need  (Quiet, coffee and work)  Don't think you heard me, I said  Don’t you bother me  I ain’t pissed but now I don’t want cause to be  Make a list well now there’s  Just three things I need  Quiet, coffee and work.  Quiet, coffee and work.

Save For Me 02:46
"Save For Me" He's over thinkin now, it'll never come He's made a list of things that could pass for love like fear of loneliness or the need for satisfaction in his bed but doesn't have a plan he would ever act upon he's crazy if he thinks he can play along cuz it's creepin ever closer and catchin' on nomatter how he handles the present, past presentations, oh they haven't fallen far enough from memory and his mantra's ringin out but it's breakin up "i'll go the way I go, I don't fall in love" I’ll go the way I go I don’t fall in love I can't fool anybody cuz I'm owned, so very owned and in truth that's how they get you behind them I'll go the way I go I don't fall in love I can't fool anybody Save for me Would’ve thought I had learned by 25 How to show love in a way you could recognize But I feel lost My philosophy’s no cost To anyone I could fall off the radar any time that I want but I can't for very long but my mouth ain’t doin me no good hands ain’t keepin secrets so my feet keep draggin off just crying I’ll go the way I go I don’t fall in love I can't fool anybody cuz I'm owned, so very owned and in truth that's how they get you behind them I'll go the way I go I don't fall in love I can't fool anybody Save for me (repeat chorus at the end)

Getting Up 04:24
"Getting Up" I'll recommend knowin' you won't go what you played, it sounded like you knew it before you had known me, I'd thought and I could go on, I could tell anyone that while we sold out and I would in all effort to be held out for a moment or so more than I had said that I would sit a while now just to be staying put, from what I've seen you want to feel and not believe I know what you mean that sounded like you wanted to go to that old style city that we knew before no longer plays out your tune you said you were gone said you'd be home by June where are you now? inside of your head and further off now than you've ever been you oughta stow it away believe in that voice, believe it don't keep you at bay for all I've seen, I'd rather fail than never be Do you know what I mean? And I'm careful not to speak but if you could just bend the laws or stretch the time before you should go you'd never leave... Nobody ever told him in a way that he could understand it, and he damned himself to play it out again and again. But it rang inside his head with words he first heard only as they left his mouth that Nobody waits for you. I could go on. I could tell the father and son that the battle is won and be done and find a way to explain or I could refrain, but won't for one minute think anything that came out would ever be the same as what I'd find out and the moments spill out into that frozen ground better off now better that we see this out and to that old style city that we knew before the only way out that I knew had a door I haven't fallen yet. Better off now. Better than I've ever been. God help me, I'm pulling my weight. Never before would you have seen my face or known my name. I'm only here for a time, so I can tell the father and son that the battle is won and be done and live on.

Good Day 03:00
“Good Day” I coulda let you go But after a while I couldn’t hold it in There was a kink in our proximity more specifically the lack therein I couldn’t tell you where it’s gonna go From here on out I bet the days’ll be slow I went and got myself spoiled, callin’ into work so you could toil with my plans I woke up knowin’ I can’t go with you But I’m just happy that you drifted my way So I’m committing you to memory And I’ma file it under “Good Day” You light up the morning with a gold trim Honey you blind me from your cheek to your chin Trace the contours of your dimples comparable to mine I got some time ‘fore the alarm goes off to study what I’ll be missin’ I woke up knowin’ I can’t go with you But I’m just happy that you drifted my way So I’m committing you to memory And I’ma file it under “Good Day” From my bottom lip/ to the tip of my nose Is the length/ of your nose if you’d like to know/ That's just where I found myself waking up I never felt this coming but before it goes I'm makin' damn sure I had seen it all if only while your face holds out (scat) I woke up knowin’ I can’t go with you But I’m just happy that you drifted my way So I’m committing you to memory And I’ma file it under “Good Day” I’m committing you to memory My mental pictures I’ll be hitting save I’m committing you to memory And I’ma file it under “Good Day”

about

This is sort of a placeholder album, as the name might suggest. This is where I'm at right now with my music and trust me, much more is on the way. You may see a few of these pop up again in remastered form on the next album, but I hope you enjoy what is here so far.
