Old Mind of Mine
03:14

Woke up today and I'm still dreaming
Do you spend this much time?
longing like I do, longing like I do
everyone’s bitter, long weekends over
They're stony faced coz they don't know any other
They don't allow the time to question like I do
now I know the funny feeling that you spoke of
the balance isn't right
there's not enough silence in here
there's not a tree or plant in sight
my love says I'm always explaining, spending all my time
trying to find out who's, standing in my shoes
everyone’s angry days are getting hotter
they know its someone’s fault but they don't know who they're after
they don't spend the time listening like I do
now I'm getting kind of jumpy at every siren, every shout
If I could just get away for a while
I could sort this old mind of mine out

Heart Fell Out
03:04
|

|
I feel quite lost
And I don’t know where to go
And I feel like I have danced
On the table naked last night
Coz I woke up this morning
Feeling oh so ashamed
But I think it was just the song I played
I think it was just the song I played
but it wasn’t just a song you see
a little ditty, words that you want to hear
coz it was my heart that fell out on the floor
It was my heart that fell out on the floor
so please will you be gentle with me
coz it was my heart that fell out on the floor
it was my heart that fell out on the floor
and I know you say
not many people do that you know
open up their chest and lay their insides bare
for the world to see, and for a whole crowd to see
but it was my heart that fell on the floor
it was my heart that fell out on the floor
so please will you be gentle with me
coz it was my heart that fell out on the floor

Morning Juju

second day, how sad
just laugh it'll be all right again
just the right amount of you
and I don’t really know it all
but I'm not home yet
and that face and those eyes they said
how long does it take for you
how long does take till the dawn
wash your hands, wash your hands
his words are worth more than yours
come on now we've told you this before
how long does it take till it runs out
how many years up your sleeve
how long does it take for you
how long does it take till the dawn
make it feel bad, make it feel bad
rub it off onto her, wash your hands

Golden Eggs
03:19
|

|
I know I should stop
Before my heart stops
and I lose your love
I don't know why
I cannot bear
The company of myself
But all the times I’ve spent with you
They are just a blur
Do you wake up
And not remember
As I do?
My addled mind says
I want control
Your heart says maybe one day
Well I know what you call me
When you think that I can't see
Do you face things alone?
Well if this world was
Made from golden eggs
Then I could walk on my own
But it seems you cannot keep
All the nice memories when
You want to drown out the sad
do you wake up and not remember
as I do?
do you wake up and forget
what I mean to you?

Woohaa Everyday

a bashful prince, a junky star
sitting and waiting for it to fall
upon his head just like his father
his wares all sold his friends all bought
how soon till he throws them out and
remember when we loved each other
then we found out so much about each other
the longer I knew you, the less I liked you
oh what a time to be alive
baby's got a fifty dollar
she won't tell from where she got it
every time I see her photo wall
i pretend that I'm not here at all
everybody’s on their best behaviour
everybody’s got their own agenda
and we keep it inside until the time
that it gets too hard to tell the lies
I’m gonna ask around now
see what you're old friends say
the longer I knew you, the less I liked you
its funny how it is
that way sometimes
oh what a time to be alive

Crying Over Stitches
03:47
|

|
It was only yesterday
that I truly saw the stitches
careful and so neat
spelling out my name
on the edge of my pillow
The place where I sleep
the silver stars and the red suns
it must not have been easy
You were standing, you were there
right in front of me, you never forgot
how free and easy it was to be you and me
I stopped remembering
focused on other things
It's funny how I've read
this story once before
you don't know what you've got
until its gone
and I often looked at those stitches
But I never really saw
I guess I wanted it to be the same
as when we were green beans
I didn't want to let you change
as you had let me
you flew away across the water
We don't speak much now
maybe I should call
You were standing, you were there
right in front of me, you never forgot
how free and easy it was to be you and me

Peter

You were a sunburnt soul weren't you
Coming home in all your glory
Took a trip back and through
We giggled like we were five years old
and you were so very tired
refused to believe that things had changed
so it was then that we decided
to play a very different game
we talked about the nice people
ate our ices in the sun
talked about the silent angels
and hoped they were taking care
of Peter
how nothing isn't ever good enough
we didn't dwell on this too long
lay back and let our youth take us
lay back to melt away
journalists ask too many questions
wanting to see the tears, well
they got their desired reaction
and left the man to his hell
we talked about the nice people
ate our ices in the sun
talked about the silent angels
and hoped they were taking care
of Peter

Steely Fences

Steely fences up at your house
Can't get in I don't have a key
Only you have a key and it’s tied to your chest
but I can dig a tunnel
Come up and surprise you
We can be friends we can tell secrets
I can tell you mine
We don't have to take drugs
We can see how it goes
We can see how it goes
I only know the future
isn't as sure as I want it to be
because I've been lying to myself
and everyone around me
I've spoken to the trees
the wind and the stars
they can't seem to help me
understand what's in my heart
let’s hope you get off lightly
one hundred years is a long time
you read about the women who came before you
you knew then what it was to be alive
creeping in now is the dawn
the shadows are lying low
will you be ok when all this is over?
when you can see down to the bone

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems.
