Chateau Lobby #4 (Father John Misty cover) feat. Amy O'Bryan ❤️

I've been living in a dream world lately
You're even better than my dream girl baby

Some day pretty soon, our forever will begin
Where even strangers feel the love, from the
 outside looking in

Some might not like it, when they see what they don't have
But most will have no alternative but to smile at us

I've been living in a dream world lately
You're even better than my dream girl baby
I've been living in a dream world lately
You're even better than my dream girl baby

Dream Girl

I've Never Thrown my Heart and Soul at Anyone Before

30 Odd Years

Everybody Wait

Raise your glass - I'll raise you two
One for the road and one to see me through to greet the dawn
Follow me if you should stall 
Fall on me if you should fall away, to find a change

Tonight has been awash with things we shouldn't say
Tonight has been awash with funny turns of phrase
Tonight has been awash with things we shouldn't say

One step forward, two steps back
Makes mistakes to learn the things you lack, to stay on couse
If your view has broader scope
You probably have a built-in way to cope - you may not know

This life is always following a tale of better days 
A legacy of bad ideas that won't erase
This life is always full of those who think they cannot fail

Raise Your Glass

Get yourself to the edge
So you can feel
Let yourself be free
It's a good, good place to be

Make yourself breathe out
And grieve
You might just begin to need 
You might just begin to need

Keep believing
Keep breathing
Keep stealing that moment again

For Grandad

I wore your shoes and I drank your beer
Sat on your shoulders while you held me dear
If time was frozen, it wouldn't be enough
It wouldn't be fair on you if you were hanging around for us

You might remember what I'm holding onto
I'll sit beside you and remind you
If all your memories are lost at sea
I'll shine a light to guide you home

We fixed the car on the drive outside
all summer long
I can't recall what was broken but she never got back on the road
I can even remember back when you worked with Bert
I'd be chewing on a lamb bone, wearing your shirt

You might remember what I'm holding onto
I'll sit beside you and remind you
Even if your memories are lost at sea
I'll shine a light to guide you home

Feat. Cian Heffernan - drums & percussion

"Have you got a smoke?", he asked me
"I can tell you a funny joke!"
I waited, for some time, but nothing came

Then he laughed out loud and he had that look
All the down and outs always talk to me


Maybe 'cause I try to be nice when I can
Maybe 'cause I try to be nice when I can

All the Down & Outs (M3SSRS)

Daytrip

Pictures of you: those lips and those big blue eyes
Falling asleep with a smile that can't be disguised

Boxed memories that I stored away to hide, from myself
Tracing all the dots we never placed in our time and space

Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep
Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep

Back when I was young, I may have seemed one way
But I would always fumble all the words that I tried to say
Trying to play it cool in front of you
That's all I ever really seemed to do
Trying to play it cool in front of you
That's all I ever really seemed to do


Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep
Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep

A decade and a half since we were teens
And you've still got me smiling in my sleep

Smiling in my Sleep

I put my foot in my mouth, twice a day
Spouting out words with nothing to say
I put my doom on you, and then I watch my world unglue
'Cause picking up the pieces - that's what I do

When my baggage starts to grow
I've gotta let go, go, go, go, go
When it impacts on you
I've gotta change my mood - for good              

Spending time in a dead-end job
Pencil in time just to sound it off
Didn't see how it brings you down
Didn't try to find some common ground
'Cause sprawling 'round for pieces - that's what I do

When my baggage starts to grow
I've gotta let go, go, go, go, go
When it impacts on you
I've gotta change my mood - for good

I see things that I hate in me
You may think that I let them be
I need to learn to think things through
Stop letting all the bullshit through
'Cause sprawling'round for pieces - that's what I do

If my baggage starts to grow
I've gotta let go, go, go, go, go
When it impacts on you
I've gotta change my mood - for good


'Cause losing all my pieces - that's what I do

Let Go

Lyrics:

Look at me, you can see anything you want to
Because you're free
We try, we all cry when nothing seems to stay right
But we get by, we get by

When you feel alone I'll be by a phone
You're never on your own, you're never on your own
And you'll get by

When you're down, we can hang around
And have too much to drink while we're on the town

Cause you can be and you can see anything you want to
Because you're free

When you feel alone, I'll be by a phone
You're never on you own, I'll be by a phone

And when the feeling's gone, I'll be by a phone
You're never on your own, never on your own
And you'll get by

Help In Hand

Don't Know Why I Say...

I run at speed down dead-end streets
Still in search of something different
I trip myself as if I'm someone else
All just for something to do

I'm not alone in that I find a way to make the day pass away
I'm not alone in that I find a way to make the pain pass away

A victim of insecurity 
You never knew your value 
Unless someone told you
And even then, and even then
Everyones full of it
They're full of it

You're not alone in that you find a way to make the day pass away
You're not alone in that you find a way to make the pain pass away

Not Alone (You Find A Way)

Crazy - you and I
Making these decisions overnight
You came into my life just like a dream
We're made for each other or so it seems 

You bring the love that I never saw coming
I need you in my life til my heart stops running
I've never been so sure of anything before

Dizzy and so in love
Daydream, distraction sent from above
The odds of us meeting was a billion to one 
Now life seems meaningful and fun

You bring the love that I never saw coming
I need you in my life til my heart stops running
I've never been so sure of anything before

Crazy (Demo) feat. Amy O'Bryan
