What We Might Have Been

A lonely Christmas
==============

G F#add9 Dmaj7 Em7

If you think you’ve what it takes 
Soon you won’t 
One day “my heart’s gonna break”
Next day it don’t 

The tearing and the gnashing 
Splitting up the assets 
Presents and a mini-tree 
Staring like a black toad
Itching like a bad toe 
Calling up sum old beliefs 

If you think you’ve what it takes 
Soon you won’t 
One day “my heart’s gonna break”
Next day it don’t 
If you think you’re some great shakes 
Well soon you’ll know
One day I’ll know the mistake 
I guess I’m slow 

(Bridge) A7add11 A7 Bm7

Simple like a first love 
Fallin off the roof love
Laying on a trampoline
Easy like a “sort of”
Gone out the back love 
Huggin on a soft machine 
Practice in new spot 
Cactus in a clay pot 
Doing all ya can to just play
Stained like the glass man
Pain in the ass man 
Doing all ya can to just sing

If you think you’ve what it takes
Soon you won’t 
One day your heart’s gonna break 
Next day it don’t 
If you think you’re some great shakes 
Well soon you’ll know
One day I’ll know the mistake 
I guess I’m slow 

I guess I’m slow 
I guess I’m slow

Trampoline

All you jokers talking shit
Like you’re not half full of it
Trying hard to tow the lines
I forgot to draw in

You have the sense to keep it clean
Rinse yer lips & then repeat
Trying hard to know no whys
I forgot to comment

Untitled notes you left upon the walls
Our favorite game to play outside it all
Untitled notes you left upon the walls
Unbridled love you meant to give us alone

All you preachers preaching here
Talking love and signaling fear
Leaning hard against the signs
Y’all forgot to put up

I hear the waves at Genji’s door
I’m not quite sure just who they’re for
Trying hard to know the light
That I forgot to follow

Untitled notes you left upon the walls
Our favorite game to play outside it all
Unbridled love you meant to give us alone

(Unbridled musical cacophony)

Untitled notes you left upon the walls
Unbridled love you meant to give us all
Notas sin titulos upon the walls
Amor desenfrenado to give us alone

New Destination

It just don't seem so hard...
Desde que te conoci
That impulsive trip down south
and suddenly we're married
Maybe we're both a little crazy?
But, we know what we want without a doubt.
Don't wanna basic life.
Won't die unsatisfied.
Never really wanna settle down.

Oh baby I know it ain't easy,
the distance so damn far away.
At least we know where we're going
and we'll always find a way, ay-hey!

It just don't seem so hard...
Desde que te conoci.
Yo apprende el español
and suddenly we're married.
Just wanna live la pura vida
and see everything there is to see.
Don't wanna basic life.
Won't die unsatisfied.
We'll be what we wanna be.

Lyrics:
Ya stop to think (that) you never wanted peace?
The truth you seek is changing constantly
We’re lookin up but all the chiefs are dead
These pyramids are slick; their stairs are red

Don’t stop
Feeling
Yer Keeping all this 
locked up
Within
You say it’s gonna
Kill you some day
Ain’t no one gonna
Throw some   
Parade

Dead chiefs 
High priests 
Your prayers got me
Falling
Asleep
You say you’re gonna
Be back some day
Ain’t no one gonna
Throw some   
Parade

Dead Chiefs

The Main Stage (Music Makes Us High)

Lyrics:

You’re severed from the source of the light 
And you’re not for long 
The shimmer in your shimmy shake
Plays its own damned song 
Pacing like ya bout to escape 
But the freedom’s all wrong here
Doing whatcha knows is right 
It’s a full time job, dear

The man said we’ve gotta gotta get along with 
All of the pieces on (the) board or we gonna get done in
 
You don’t notice 
When ya reflection starts to decay 
Annihilation
When the end of yer night becomes day 

The tones of a six string axe
Gonna set a little stage 
But the bones in our bag of tricks 
Start to give our ass ‘way
Goin where the money’s right 
It’s a goddamn gamble
Saying what needs to be said 
You gotta set an example

The man said we’ve gotta gotta pay to play here 
All of the tickets sold fore our whiskers get grayer 

You don’t notice 
When ya reflection starts to decay 
Annihilation
When the end of yer night becomes day 

The lonesome winds are blowing 
Just to blow the wrong way
The lonesome winds are blowing 
Just to blow the wrong way…

Annihilation

Lyrics:
I gave a whisper 
Beneath the blaring horns
I felt a shiver in the 
blue light of the dawn
I don't wanna know the way I die
I just wanna know the place I'll lay

Yeah, yeah

Do I believe in love?
My love, it's been a long time
I know you know   
Alone is better sometimes

I could've kissed you
But the stillness turned me on
I could've kissed you
But the stillness turned me on

I heard the airchime blow
And knew it was the end
I fear all hopelessness
And bear the will to live
I don't wanna know the way I die
I just wanna know the place I'll lay

Yeah, yeah 

Do I believe in love?
My love, it's been a long time
I know you know   
Alone is better sometimes

I could've kissed you
But the stillness turned me on
I could've kissed you
But the stillness turned me on

Latin Day Saints

I can be the one

Te necesito; no estás aquí
me siento tan solo
Visiones de solo ti 
(la) Magdalena para mi

¿Qué estás haciendo?
¿Qué estás mirando?
Nunca puedo estar seguro
¿Puedo?
 
I can be the one
You can be there too
It's year 33
I could die for you
       
no hay paciencia
en mis pasiones
para ti; y solo tu
el amor trae plenitud

¿Qué has ido?
¿Cuándo te veré?
no puedo esperar por
más de ti

I can be the one
You can be there two
I've been 33
I would die for you

The track I twisted up to roll this joint was recorded in Jamaica by a porn star believe it or not.

Poster Child

A song inspired by the passion in Viola Davis' speech at the Oscars today. I was riffing on the Minitaur while my girlfriend watched the Oscars in the background; the passion in Viola's voice inspired this music.

Imagination —  Just An Illusion (Elusive Lover Hyperedit)

A nu-disco style edit of this dancefloor filling classic by 80s British dancemasters Imagination.

This song was sampled for "Get Your Number" by Mariah Carey featuring Jermaine Dupri. I feel they didn't do the song justice on *any* level however. You be the judge!

The blues is too damned rhythmic.

Temporary Circumstances (The 24 Carat Black "Poverty's Paradise")

James Womack's musical journey began at age 9 when he hacked a Sony boombox to manipulate James Brown radio recordings overdubbed with a ninja turtles bikehorn and his Casiotone. The same approach to melding musicianship with creative manipulation of the sonic zeitgeist is found in PTC’s work today. He’s a guitar playing disciple of The Meters’ Leo Nocentelli and The Smiths’ Johnny Marr. He’s a DJing disciple of Todd Terje and J Dilla. It’s a strange brew
