- A Manner to Act
Baby oh touch me like you did in the summer when i woke up just to hear
Speakers made of tin cans piercing through my window like a cold breeze on my ear
Sittin on the stoop in the yard I looked so tired I can tell that its early you know
Oh its much to far to walkin all by myself.
(Chorus)What a manner to act
like a heart attack
because lookin back
- Absolutely
[Chorus]
It's the year of absolutely being absolutely nothing
Absolutely crushing absolutely everything
Absolutely loving, absolutely loving
Absolutely loving, absolutely
[Verse 1]
I rode my silver bullet up
- Boy
When I have once or twice
Thought I lived my life .. for
Oh oh I'll wake up in a thousand years
With every ghost I'm looking through
I was a cold, cold boy
Hey! Oh when I lie with you
But when I go back through
- Can You Tell
Have I been to discreet
How long am I supposed to wait
I think about you nightly
Oh can you tell I'm losing sleep
What am I supposed to do
It's hard to stay cool
When you smile at me
And I get nervous every time you speak
- Dying Is Fine
To settle our thoughts
Never minding what for
nothing of a harm to dread
On my mind
Tell me what belies
Tell me what I could have
Oh
Tell me what for
- Each Year
Come on, force it down
I’m imagining
Come on, force it down
I’m imagining
Imaging a place where homes are built on frames
And where they plant new bulbs along our graves
Each year
- Flowers
We had it good for two years in the truck
Until we realized our luck had dried up
So I went to the dealership, tore out the seats
I know it's just a sign, but I can't let it free
Do I wonder sometimes in Southern California
When the sun shines, if it don't shine for ya
Now I'm making bread again, still living in a rental
- Ghost Under Rocks
When every little thing
You own is looking back
At you and starts to mean
Less than it ever did,
On every,
On every inch of stone,
Skin and cloth
- Massachusetts
In Massachusetts
In Massachusetts
Oh, no no no no no
The younger of the ocean sing
A paean to their mother, offering
To hold tight onto the quay
To hold tight onto the side of the quay
Oh, it don't matter
- suspended in gaffa
Out in the garden is half of a heaven,
We're only bluffing, what not, what's for best?
And through walls what they told us,
Unless we can prove that we're doing it,
We can't have it all.
He's gonna wangle a way to get out of,
And she's an excuse and a wit that's on top on.
- The Orchard
We both had doubts
We both had doubts
I found myself while I was away
All your life, now I understand
So many hours
And no company
But you imagine things
Through cold eyes of sleep
- Too Dramatic
On my black feet, I
Run with all my heart
To black shores and rivers
In spite of all I fear
You're too dramatic
I can't understand it
- Too Too Too Fast
We have forgotten so much since then
The scent of your breath again
Or maybe it's the way we fell
don't fall
Stop looking out to pretend
Everything is still there
We have forgotten so much since then
- Winter '05
Orange lamps shine by willow bay
Ice covers from the lake to where I lay
In a state
In which I dream
If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
