Wayward

Leave me alone in the dark
Guess I’ll skip on the party
You’re sunny side up in my heart
With the man who says he’s so sorry

If you want you can
If you want you can come back here again

A single eye stares back at mine
As redwine stains the old veneer
I feel like a stranger in the alps tonight
We gotta wake up now, it’s the new year

And if you want you can
If you want you can come back here again

Cloudy red pool and watered sky
Forever ago seems so near
Post tropical blues in my mind
Where the sound of Pepper lingers clear

And if you want you can
If you want you can come back here again

If You Want

MANDELA

Together

AFTER YOU THROUGH THE RIGHT DOOR
DOUBLE VODKA BARTENDER PLEASE
THOUGH LIQUORS ONLY EVER HURT ME BEFORE

EXPRESS MY FEELINGS WITH EUPHEMISTIC TREPIDATION
WHEN THE GLASS
IS IN THAT MANS HANDS

FLICK A COIN 'TIL IT DECIDES TO FALL
AND WE'LL BE SHOUTING GOOD DAY UNTIL THE VERY LAST CALL
THE VERY LAST CALL

EVEN SWEET BIRDSONG
CAN NOT DROWN OUT THE NOISE
OF SATURDAY NIGHT FISTS SWING IN FIGHT 
BUT THE BEAUTY REMAINS THE SAME
SO WE CAN MEET HALFWAY

OH THE SIGHTS YOU CAN SEE
FOR SLIVERING TONGUES THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO BE
WATCH THE PRICE GETTING STEEPER
ARGUING FRIENDS SHALLOW GUTS SINKING DEEPER
STRIKE TO THE HEAD ENDS ALL THE FUN
ONES BLOOD IS BOILING WHILE THE OTHERS HAS RUN YOU SEE
SLOW TRICKLE STILL FALLING
OUT THROUGH THE BACK AS THE BLUEBIRD COMES CALLING

EVEN SWEET BIRDSONG
CAN NOT DROWN OUT THE NOISE
OF SATURDAY NIGHT FISTS SWING IN FIGHT 
THE BEAUTY REMAINS THE SAME
SO WE CAN MEET HALFWAY

Birdsong

Bare Witness

ONE STEP TOO SOON

WAITIN' UPON MY TV
TO SHOW ME THAT 
DEAD BEHIND THE EYES ADVERTISING
WAITIN ON THAT GLOSSY
LA LIFESTYLE HARD NOT TO DESIRE

BUT JUDGING BY THE WHISTLING
THERES A PAIN BENEATH THE RAIN
NOT EVEN GOD KNOWS HOW THEYRE COPING
WITH FRONT DOOR CAMERA FAME
ARE WE TO BLAME?
FOR THE CALABASAS INSANE

AND AS IM
CHOKING FROM THE SMOKE
ANOTHER PAPARAZZI'S BROKE
THE NEWS OF CHILDBIRTH
SACRED GIFT OF LIFE
BUT WHAT IF THAT LIFE KNEW
THE CHAOS IT'D HAD JUST BEEN
BORN INTO
WOULD THEY CHOOSE TO STICK AROUND

COS IN A WORLD OF GLITZ AND GLAMOUR
IT'S PRIVACY THAT LIGHTS THE FLAME
YOU KNOW THE PUBLIC LOVES A MELTDOWN
WHEN ITS PERFECTLY IN FRAME
ARE WE TO BLAME?
FOR THE CALABASAS INSANE 

BUT JUDGING BY THE WHISTLING
THERES A PAIN BENEATH THE RAIN
AND WHO REALLY KNOWS WHOS FAKING?
AND WHO'S STAKING CLAIM?
ARE WE TO BLAME?
FOR THE CALABASAS INSANE

CALABASAS INSANE

WOULD YOU SAY THAT I AM HARD TO BUY FOR?
DO I HAVE EVERYTHING THAT I ALREADY NEED?
I GET COMPLACENT AS THE CONVERSATION DRIES UP
I GUESS I'LL TRY A LITTLE HARDER IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS

WELL I COULD ASK YOU
TO BETTER FOCUS ALL THE EFFORT YOU WOULD WASTE ON ME
AND I WILL PULL THROUGH TRUST ME

I WON’T KEEP YOU SWEET
WHEN I’VE MISSED MY BEAT

THE YEAR HAS FLOWN BY
AND I GO BACK FOR ONE MORE TRY 

WOULD YOU SAY YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO DIE FOR?
I FEEL LIKE LIFE WOULD BE A BREEZE IF EVERYONE DID
PHILOSOPHY PROVIDES A CHANCE TO BE QUITE SPITEFUL
I'M GLAD I TRIED ANYWAY

I’D STILL ASK YOU
TO BETTER FOCUS ALL THE EFFORT YOU WOULD WASTE ON ME
AND I WILL PULL THROUGH TRUST ME

WON’T KEEP YOU SWEET
WHEN I’VE MISSED MY BEAT
SPEAK LESS I’M TOLD
MY WORDS TURN COLD

Trust Me

YOU’RE 4 DRINKS DOWN
MY SECOND’S HALF FULL
IT’S BEEN ESTABLISHED
MY WEIGHT I CAN’T PULL
IT’S MEMORIES LIKE THESE
THAT ARE DRAGGING ME THROUGH
COS I MISS MY LOVE MORE THAN I’D EVER HOPE TO

I WANNA FEEL MUCH BETTER
BUT HOW CAN I FEEL MUCH BETTER?

LONG FOR THE SUMMER
AND THE MUSIC IT HOLDS
STROLL ALONG FIELDS
AS THE MADNESS UNFOLDS
BUMP INTO PEOPLE
I HAVEN’T SEEN IN A WHILE
AND WE’D SHARE NEW STORIES
AND CRACK A FEW SMILES

I WANNA FEEL MUCH BETTER
BUT HOW CAN I FEEL MUCH BETTER?

NOW IT’S CLEAR 
THAT THE LITTLE THINGS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED
ARE WHAT KEEP US SANE
ENGINEER
ANYTHING TO KEEP OURSELVES OCCUPIED
AND WE’LL BE JUST FINE

JUST FINE

THERES SOMETHING IN THE WATER HERE
LEAVES A NUMBNESS IN YOUR THROAT
BUT I SUPPOSE IT COULD BE WORSE THAN THE STENCH LEFT UPON YOUR CLOTHES
BEAR IN MIND THIS COULD BE MY LAST RODEO
BUT I REFUSE TO TAKE IT SLOW
STRETCHING OUT TO TOUCH MY TOES

AND OFF I GO
YES I GO
IGNORANTLY STROLL INTO WATERS UNKNOWN
AND HOPE I DONT DROWN
AND ONLY I
ONLY I
COULD FIND EMOTION IN A EMPTY PALE ROOM
WITH THE SAME OLD TALE TO TELL
WHERE IS MY IMMANUEL?

DRINK IT IN AS WE SLIP FURTHER DOWN THE PECKING ORDER
THE GLIMMER FADES AS WE DECLINE
A FINAL SMILE SERVES AS TESTAMENT TO ALL OUR EFFORTS
YOU KNOW WE REALLY DID TRY

THERES SOMETHING IN THE WATER HERE
I HAVE BARELY FELT THIS CLOSE
PICTURE GIANT WAVES AND KILLER WALES AND CHALLENGERS WHO ROSE
I CANT TELL IF THIS IS MY LAST RODEO
BUT I REFUSE TO TAKE IT SLOW
GRIP THE SAND BENEATH MY TOES

AND SO I GO
YES I GO
IGNORANTLY STROLL INTO WATERS UNKNOWN
AND HOPE I DONT DROWN
AND ONLY I
ONLY I
COULD FIND EMOTION IN A EMPTY PALE ROOM
WITH THE SAME OLD TALE TO TELL
WHERE IS MY IMMANUEL?

WATERS UNKNOWN

True Love Will Find You In The End (Daniel Johnston Cover) - Macca and Tom

ANTIDOTE (DEMO)

Lyrics:

I NEED A SECOND JUST TO MAKE UP MY MIND
COS IVE BEEN CHASING IT NOW FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE MILES
I DREAD TO THINK THAT I WONT CATCH IT IN TIME
BEFORE THE HOPE BEGINS TO WEAR AT THE RIND

REMIND ME HOW IT GOES?
ITS BEEN A WHILE
OR IF IT EVEN GOES
ANYMORE

SHOOT THE LIGHT TO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TONIGHT
BUT MASQUERADE YOUR JUBILATION FOR PEACE
THE CLAUSE A SAFETY NET
TO SELF JUSTIFY
THAT WHAT YOU’VE DONE WAS ALWAYS WORTH IT IF FREE

REMIND ME HOW IT GOES?
ITS BEEN A WHILE
OR IF IT EVEN GOES
ANYMORE

WELL LETS FACE IT ITS
MY TIME WASTED
WELL LETS FACE IT
I’M TO BLAME HERE
WELL LETS FACE IT ITS
MY TIME WASTED
WELL LETS FACE IT
I’M TO BLAME 

WHEN THE APPLE FALLS
ITS MY NECK IT ROLLS DOWN
SWALLOW THE CORE
WITHOUT SPITTING ANY PIPS OUT
THEN AWAIT THE TREE
GROWING INSIDE ME
ANOTHER PLAYGROUND FANTASY

I NEED A SECOND JUST TO MAKE UP MY MIND
COS I'M STILL CHASING
