Lua (bright eyes)

The luckiest guy (on the lower east side) (The Magnetic Fields)

Just playing through some of my old songs, and this one didn't make me cringe (entirely) so I thought I'd put it on the line ("online"). Still dunno why but when you make things you want to foist them upon others. Food, children, music.

Burn Up The Sun

If before I wake (The Districts acoustic cover)

I've been startled to find that I wrote this over four years ago now. Since then I've only written one proper song. Something is very seriously wrong here. No more covers, people. I am going for the jugular of music.

lyrics:

Marry me today,
I won't make it 'til tomorrow
I won't be alive tomorrow,
I won't make it today
And I could use
Some good news

Crack another smile
I won't be back in the morning
I won't be back in the evening
The raindrops against the pane,
Are telling me it's good to be inside

And I trust you now like a road sign
And I just don't know why
Your insight 
Is prying all these holes inside me
Mind like a laboratory
Rat's; this is not ordinary
And I just can't function
I just can't function
Believe me

Carry me to the well,
Carry me to hell
Carry me on
Carry on without me,
When I'm gone,
Carry on
And remember to clip my bonsai tree

Eyes,
Eyes don't know what they see
You're on, you're on, you're on...
You're on my itineray

Marry me today
I won't make it til tomorrow
I won't be alive tomorrow
I won't make it today

Come on now, don't you love me?
Come on now, let's start a family
I won't be there, but you don't need me
Come on now, don't you love me?


And I trust you now like a road sign
And I just don't know why
Your insight 
Is prying all these holes inside me
Mind like a laboratory
Rat's; this is not ordinary
And I just can't function
I just can't function
Believe me
