'Everything you said' is the first track from our debut EP, due for release in early 2014. Despite what the lyrics may suggest, this is not a love song. Far from it....

THE MULE AFFAIR - Everything you said

Okapi

Scratchless

Let Me Get Back. (Live)

(Written in 1999 -- finally arranged and recorded.
Best with headphones.)

Lyrics:
52:23

I had no voice anymore
I think I've screamed 'til I'm sore
I felt discarded and disregarded
I lay, a shell and a husk --
I could not take "me" from "us"
so I decided I felt divided

(Stay with me now, it's quiet)

and I -- I just want you -- I want you to talk to me
   for about fifty-two hours and twenty-three minutes

Have I a place in your play
I'm never sure what to say
or what my role is, or what control is
I won't reveal my inside (and I don't need to decide)
my heart is thin but it's wide
and no one sold it; I might have told it, oh

(Stay with me now, it's quiet)

and I -- I just want you -- I want you to play music to me
for about fifty-two hours and twenty-three minutes

(And I was talking to you, but I couldn't hear you.)

I felt one moment of doubt
as if my inside were out --
my sleeve was wearing, my heart was tearing --
Then I stepped into the street
and I felt firm on my feet
and past all caring, and past despairing

(Stay with me now, it's quiet)

and I -- I just want you -- I want you to wait for me
for about fifty-two years and twenty-three minutes

Huge Shark - 52:23 (original version)

The Sparkle's Gone

A somewhat bluesy song I wrote in December 1991 and recorded in August 2012. Needs a better accompanist than I can be while I'm singing.

Baby Needs New Shoes

The fourth piece from the brilliant Five Stages album, out now via Bandcamp.
