Hit me

your glasses on
don't stare at all
the less you talk, the better
now tell them why
despire your lies
this is not a set-up
I wonder if you're happy
I wonder why I should care
hate everything
and be a shut-in
but if you're smart, just get up
little did I know
of everything they said
forget the stuff you've heard
hit me where it's bad
despite the fact I know
the mess is in my head
pretend that you know me then
hit me where it's bad
why should I care?
I'm hungry and sore
unpleased and bored
the less you dress, the better
your curves in gauze
that gaze and all
a legìt betrayal
I wonder if you're happy
I wonder why I should care
hate everything
and be a shut in
but if you're smart, just get up
little did I know
of everything they said
forget the stuff you've heard
hit me where it's bad
despite the fact I know
the mess is in my head
pretend that you know me then
hit me where it's bad
ittle did i know
I guess I just don't care
if it's true these are
the black lines in my head
the wires I've ripped off
the thoughts that are not there
pretend that you know me then
hit me where it's bad
why should I care?

Slo-mo

close your eyes
if you close em tight
you'll be fine
I'll be fine
And I've never been the guy you keep asking about
all in all it's really nothing to be feeling down
every morning there's a song that I hate
keeps poppin' in my head
right out of the bed
leave your mind
if you're lost
there's a ball of yarn to get you back home in no time
you'll be fine
And I've never been the guy you keep asking about
all in all it's far too easy to be feeling down
every morning there's a song that I hate
keeps poppin' in my head
right out of the bed
I'm the slo-mo motherfucker who's never around
always yawning and too tired to be going out
every morning there's a song in my head
I hate it so bad
it's worse than I said

Back to you
03:49
|

sometimes I can be rude
I don't know any better
when you try so hard to pick a fight with me
maybe
you may think that I'm crazy
but you're not supposed to tell that to my face
You know how I always give my heart back to you
but now we're really through
I know my voice is shaking
maybe that's because you're breaking my heart
you try to play aloof
as you don't really care for me
but it's not so hard for anyone to see
you're faking
you may think that I'm crazy
but you are not supposed to tell that to my face
You know how I always give my heart back to you
but now we're really through
I know my voice is shaking
maybe that's because you're breaking my heart
and you know what makes me blue? it's you
and the fact you lack the sense of what it's bad and good
all my efforts not for one, but two
me and you
You know how I always give my heart back to you
but now we're really through
I know my voice is shaking
maybe that's because you're breaking my heart
and I know that I can do it
I don't know if I can make it alone
and you know, you should be happy
cause it sounds you had it planned for long

Shoes

How many more years
how many sad tears
how many good things should I give up to convince
myself this time
since I've dipped my toe
in rock'n roll
I've been losing my mind
How many more years
how many sad tears
how many good things should I give up to convince
myself this time
since I've stepped my shoe
in rhythm and blues
I've been losing my mind
How many more years
how many sad tears
how many good things should I give up to convince
myself this time
since I've tasted you
I was gone for good
I've been losing my mind
once you step your shoe
in rhythm and blues
you'll be losing your mind

Rules
02:28
|

when I understood
I got nothing to gain, nothing to loose
playing guitar and singing the blues
I was finally free
of obeying my own rules
and I don't need your name
on a piece of paper, telling I'm game
telling I can put out my stuff
listen up and you'll see
that my word is enough
no need for stage; or lights; your show biz connections
got voice, got hands, guitar; the song is the attraction
and it sounds about the same
well If I must say
it sounds better without you in the way.
when I understood
I got nothing to gain, nothing to loose
playing guitar and singing the blues
I was finally free
of giving up on my dreams
and I don't need your name
on a piece of paper, telling I'm game
telling I can put out my stuff
this music is reaching somebody else anyway
and it's more than enough
no need for stage; or lights; your show biz connections
got voice, got hands, guitar; the song is the attraction
and it sounds about the same
even if they don't know my face
I feel better about that anyway
when I understood
I got nothing to gain, nothing to loose
playing guitar and singing the blues
I was finally free
of obeying my own rules

Ties
03:00

Heard you were miserable, dry as a bone
convinced you can't it through the fall
'back on the road again', it's you favourite phrase
with a smile to disguise your escape
well it's feasible, selling the ship to get back to the coast
when the wheather gets worse
people just leaving home, to discover how their country is called
in a six strings life boat
and ties at minimum
with the world they know
there's a fantasy land when you're strung
out and miserable
and the things that you own
will turn out to dust on the go
every conceivable
word that you know
won't really help me at all
get up and ride again
this is what you used to say
with a smile you can lie to my face
it is practical
to sell yourself cheap
to get back to the coast, when the battle is lost
people just leaving home
and in spite of what could be appropriate they keep all em strong ties at minimium
and ties at minimum
with the world they know
there's a fantasy land when you're strung
out and miserable
all the things that you own
will turn out to dust on the go
you've always denied
this thoughts were in your mind
blindly accepting the ties
of those real things and real lives
a word of advice is to keep
your ties at minimum
with the world you know
there's a fantasy land when you're strung
out and miserable
all the things that you own
will turn out to dust on the go
keep your ties at minimum
with the world you know
there's a fantasy land when you're strung
out and miserable
all the things that you know
turn out to dust
when the blue sky will fall

Hole
04:18

down
the sickly feeling when you are not around
ease that frown
they said you had to do it, then that you got it wrong
flee your town
the place you're gonna live in is yet to be found
on your way out
don't drown yourself in bad thoughts
because
down, down a hole
when you feel strange about the things you've said and done
well you don't know what to make of all those things
d-d-d-down
down a hole
it gets so crowded when you'd like to be alone
and you don't know what to make of you and me
d-d-d-down
the teary eyes when we talk
sorry, i was wrong
the fear we're coming across
all around
a perfect balance is yet to be found
on your way out
don't let yourself get down in bad thoughts
because
down, down a hole
when you feel strange about the things you've said and done
well you don't know what to make of all those things
d-d-d-down
down a hole
it gets so crowded when you'd like to be alone
and you don't know what to make of you and me
d-d-d-down
down, down a hole
when I feel strange about the things I've said and done
well I don't know what to make of all those things
d-d-d-down
down a hole
it gets so crowded when I'd like to be alone
and you I 't know what to make of you and me
d-d-d-down

Rain
02:59
|

it should have rained all night long
to wash away all that dirt we carry on
and even 'tho it did not rain at all
there's a flood inside that old house
you're calling heart
but me
if I'm standing in anybody's way
then it's not for me
have you noticed that I'm already
stranger than you'll ever be
it should have rained all night long
to wash away all that dirt we carry on
but it's been months since it rained a single drop
a desert lies behind those smiles
we've all got on
but me
if I'm standing in anybody's way
then it's not for me
have you noticed that I'm already
stranger than you'll ever be
our future lies behind those smiles
we've all got on
if I'm standing in anybody's way
then it's not for me
have you noticed that I'm already
stranger than you'll ever be
