The Plan
02:23

Never was any kind of plan
Whatever fell into my hands
Was what the Universe had planned
And all these things that you won't know
The greatest moodlight we'll ever know
It's all for me and you,
Well, I don't think that's true
And all I ever wanted
For this project
Was to get there
With a reason
And not have to squint to see it
All of the winter
I got so lost
You found me freezing
Covered in frost
Why can't you be simple?
Just for a day
We could see where we are now
And you could go on your way

Whole New Shaky

whole new shaky
still want you forever
still want you for my best friend
whole new shaky
still love you forever
you're my best friend
and when you trip on the street,
when you trip on the street
it's for a reason that you fall
and when you wait for a table
to become free
or not to become free
i keep passing friends and lovers on the street
streets full of lovers and sunshine
and you see a tree and you wish you could
put the broken branch back on
and someday your heart will feel so big and strong
you'll feel you can give some love to everyone
oh yeah!
whole new shaky x 3
take out all the sarky lyrics
all the snarky lyrics that are not me
that's not what i want
to give to the rest of the world
print out all the lyrics
print them big and make them
easily digestible
many of the songs are going to have staccato lyrics
they gotta have impact and resonance - yeah
whole new shaky x 3
(guitars start melting)

Accident

there was an accident
it was all an accident
you could let me know
if you find something
and the night .. oh the moon
it held me
and the clouds looked so fairytale
and i could fly away
into the cold sky
ice crystals forming now
sleep .. sleep
sleep it's much too late to try
ooh..
and the moon looked down
and what did it see?
saw so much of it in light
spread out before him
and he said..
there's not much to see
there's not much to see
and if i, and you , the jury held my ....
and i would settle down
waive my fate
ooohhhhhh

Last Sunday
04:25
|

|
Last Sunday, last sunday
The sun and the park
Messages coming in on my phone
You had a job to do
That took you out of the state
But you kept me in mind
You kept me in mind as you roamed
Well, you can’t beat the feeling
When it comes thru so strong
And you wonder how you got by before
Just days after feeling..
There’s no going back from the feeling
It’s just me again
Alone on the floor
Never said nothing to lead you along
But we don’t really need..
..words to say
When it all gets to feelings
And something goes wrong
And drains all the sweetness
Away
And it all moved so quickly
From saying “hello”
Now my bed’s
Your home
And you said some things
That sure made me feel like someone again
You come over to see me
To try and find out if there are some things that I’ve learnt
But all you’ll find is a big silly boy
And everything I know just hurts
What did you give me
That I just can’t shake?
All this time I’ve been waiting
I don’t want to sympathy
I just want a little look, a little peak at the cure.

Tickertape Moon
04:10
|
|||
|
oh ticker-tape moon
it beamed back at us
and the city lights
they went out tonight
one by one
and the streets were all hushed
airplanes ceased to fly
but no-one died
we took our time
took us a holiday
some time away
from this place
we keep going to work
like it's so easy now
like we've got it figured out
and there's no doubt in my mind
yes in my mind it's all just fine
but it gets cold out here
yes it gets cold sometimes
with freezing rain
and ice up my spine
and no towel
to get you dry
and we keep going to work
like it's just so easy now
oh moon
why do you test me so?
will you let me know
oh will you let me know
when it's time to go
time to go away?
