THE TEMPEST

V1
Press your hands between my own
Is this the only way to feel?
Hold the memories, hold the love
It’s your heart they cannot steal

CH
So what is wrong?
This tempest strong
The distance, the dissolution
They’re talking but I just can’t hear
[So what is wrong?]
[This tempest strong]
Walk blindly in the daytime
How I wish that you were here

V2
Secrets spitting at your back
Exhausted in the morning light
See the prize, your one desire
Sing your melody tonight

CH

V3
Young love takes its last farewell
Just a constant shadow that lingers
You just tremble as you kneel
Slipping through my helpless fingers….
Young love takes its last farewell (x2)

CH

AMBULANCE CHASING

V1
What I feel when I first wake
Been too long since I missed your face
The last words, unsaid and never explained
I’d always live with my mistakes 
As you just turned away

CH
I can’t find the way
Nothing said would make you stay
No goodbyes for me to say
She’s just gone away
I’m falling backward, ambulance chasing every day

V2
If that’s all you have for me
I can’t erase completely
Your picture, as long as my eyes can see
But when it hurts too much to breathe
I drop down to my knees

CH (x3)

(I can’t find where you’re going)

Ambulance Chasing [from "A Fear of Falling," 2021]

From Last FM bio ~ From Hoboken, NJ, the Tadpoles pretty much exemplify what most American psychedelic music sounded like in the 1990s— melodic rock wrapped in blankets of fuzz, heavily processed guitars and the occasional electronic studio effect. The Tadpoles were adept enough at jamming and developing themes, but they were at their best when working with concise, punchy songs. The Tadpoles have always been know as a ‘psychedelic’ band, which means their music references the mind-expanding sounds of experimental artists of the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. But that ‘retro’ tag has never sat well with the band, which insists it’s as inspired by modern-day guitar bands like the Jesus & Mary Chain and Spacemen 3 as it is by classic rock.
