Talk Is Cheap (#641, 230108)

Talk is cheap and ain't no one buyin'
Store's shuttin' down got sick of tryin'
Truth is hot and the rest is not
Almost went too far stopped just short of lyin'

Some things you can't undo
Somehow they'll undo you
Some people play for keeps
Someone told me talk is cheap

Talk is cheap but action that'll cost you
I took some action and then I lost you
Then in the afterburn you returned
Earned my trust 'bout as far as I can toss you

Some things you can't undo
Somehow they'll undo you
Some people play for keeps
Someone told me talk is cheap

Talk is cheap or so it seems to me
And it's all made in the same factory
Tell me that you're leavin' we can call it even
Maybe talk is cheap but goodbye that's free

Week 02 - Talk Is Cheap (230108)

"A Country With No Name" (#642, 230116)

Maybe he was crazy a hippie superstar
And maybe his ideas went a touch too far
Then again we're still gettin' it all wrong
So maybe he was onto somethin' all along

A country with no name
No prison and no blame
Where no one ever dies
Of someone else's lies

One nation under grace
No more divided states
Well what if we became
A country with no name

Might be there's some truth to what he said
Certainly made sense up there in his head
We might could try it his way even for a day
Imagine just imagine the world we could create

call me home
you call me home
talk is cheap these days
say you wanna begin again
begging down on your knees

the space between us
is growing by the day
a chasm, a valley, a canyon
wider as the crow flies
wider as the crow flies

oh, you're a country with no name
void and lost in the night
you want to call me in
but you ain't fooling me

this try here
to get me to come back to you
almost the next big thing
but we're still through
no patching that can make it new

oh, you're a country with no name
void and lost in the night
you want to call me in
but you ain't fooling

oh, you're a country with no name
void and lost in the night
you want to call me in
but you ain't fooling me

you ain't fooling me
you ain't fooling me
oh, you ain't fooling me

You Ain't Fooling Me

"Patches" (#649, 230220)

When something breaks don't just throw it away
That's why God made duct tape so silvery gray
What was lackluster last night can shine again today
And thank God for that 'cuz I've seen better days

Everything looked good when I started this trip
Then I hit me an iceberg 'cuz I didn't see the tip
Right now I'm held together with prayer and paper clips
But I can't afford to abandon ship

Stitches in my jeans
Stitches in my heart
Snitches get stitches 
Oh shit this just got dark

Fix these ripped up rags
Plug up all the holes
Who knows how to sew
Save my mortal soul

Gimme' patches
I need a few patches

There's patches made of denim and others from elastic
Some are in the basement the rest are in the attic
I got 'em on my fingers, my toes, my boxers and my jacket
Patches? Si amigo, I need some stinkin' patches

Week 08 - Patches (230220)

"Love Me Slow" (#655, 230309)

Sounds of the city
Racing by each day
Louder faster stronger
Than what I have to say

Oh how quick they go
All I want to know
Can you love me slow?

Pieces of a puzzle
Rushing into place
Wonder if the question
Is written on my face

When the cold wind blows
And the lights are low
Can you love me slow?

The feeling I was chasing
Fell between the cracks
Something ‘bout your smile
Always brings me back

Pull me in so close
Like all those years ago
Can you love me slow?

Buildings in the distance
Rising high above
Down here in the shadows
All I'm dreaming of

Out here all alone
Trying to get back home
Can you love me slow?

Week 11 - Love Me Slow (230309)
