No, not another love song
Not one more song where I’m pretending
Everything will be okay
I died the day you left me
I die again every day
Go on go away get out of here
Leave me alone, I’m dying
Leave me alone, I’m dying
Leave me alone, I’m dying here
No, not another false start
Not if I just fall apart go on get lost
Fuck off stay gone
Look what you’ve done
I’m no good
Look what you’ve done
I’m no good
Look what you’ve done
I’m dying here
No, not another love song
Not one more song where I’m pretending
Everything will be okay
I died the day you left me
I die again every day
Go on go away get out of here
Leave me alone, I’m dying
Leave me alone, I’m dying
Leave me alone, I’m dying here

Beautiful Horses

Please don’t nag at me
I will be strong for you
Don’t say you’re worried
Don’t say you’re scared
If you love me like
You say you do
Give me your love
Love is enough
You could call me daddy
Yes, I would step up to that
Go on and tease me
See how I quickly come back
With a smile
With a hand
No, two hands
You know what?
We could have fun
We could make love
Remember that Superman
The one with the name like mine
He had a beautiful body
I bet he did everything right
He didn’t smoke
Or drink too much
Combed his hair
But you know what?
Life isn’t fair
Life doesn’t care
Look at my two hands
Look at how strong they are
Like beautiful horses
Look at them run
Overland
Over sky
Through green fields
And between your legs

I Think About Heaven
06:03
|
|||
|
As the hart panteth after the water brooks
In this way my soul search is for your love
In this way my soul searches for your love
My soul cries out for the one I love
They laugh at me saying where is your love?
They laugh to my face saying where is your love?
My tears have been my meat both day and night
Until I see you, what good is my sight?
Until I see you, what good is my eyesight?
I think about heaven and I smile
I think about heaven and I break out into a big grin
I think about heaven and I smile
Things don’t seem so bad
Things don’t seem so sad
I sleep in the day
Yes, I hide from the sun
So when the night comes I run run run
Yes, when the night comes I run run run
I call out your name
I cast a spell of love
But all that I have is a memory of
All I have left is the memory of our love
I think about heaven and I smile
I think about heaven and I break out into a big grin
I think about heaven and I smile
Things don’t seem so bad
Things don’t seem so sad

White Flag
05:02
|

|
I raise my hand
Holding up white flag
You don’t want me
You don’t want me anymore
You won’t have me anymore
I scream I shout
Swear to God I’ll rip my own eyes out
After I saw
Hatred in your heart
You hate me in your heart
I run and hide
Can’t help it if I still try
For my love
Hatred in your heart
You have hatred in your heart
But if I died
If I was dead
Would you want your beloved again
Oblivion, oblivion
Here I go into oblivion
Here I go, oblivion

Wishing on a star
Please don’t let me down
I’m in deep water baby
Please don’t let me drown
I know
We're gonna have to fight
Always
Yes I know
We can’t give up the fight
Never, ever, no
I can’t imagine that you didn’t
Know I needed you
But you were in so much pain
You wished it on me too
And I know
It’s gonna be a fight
Always
Yes I know
We’re gonna have to fight
For ever and ever yeah
I’m keeping my head down and
Doing what is right
I knew you wouldn’t understand but I
Kind of hoped you might
And I know
I know it’s gonna be a fight
I know
I’m gonna have to fight the rest of my life

So

Where are you my love? I love you
Where are you my love? I love you
Where are you my love? I love you… so
Will I be alone, like I am?
Will I be alone, forever now?
Will I be alone, till I am…
Fear is all I have, without you
I know how to hide, and I will
Make my life into a shooting star
Where are you my love? I love you
Where are you my love? I love you
Where are you my love? I love you… so

This Is My Guitar
04:19
|

|
This is my guitar, I play it with my hands
It’s part of me, just like the song I sing
This is my life, I live it best I can
It’s part of you, and part of everything
I know it’s hard, not to feel like you’ve been broken
When so much love is missing from the start
And I know it’s hard, not to feel like you’re alone in
A world that’s lost and spinning in the dark
Oh, help me
This is my voice, I sing the best I can
The music in my head is from my heart
This is my chance, the only chance I’ve got
To shine a little light into the dark
And I know it’s hard, not to feel like you’ve been broken
When nothing seems to work the way it should
I know it’s hard, but I know that I’ll keep holdin’
Cause all I’ve ever seen in you is good
Oh help me, help me please
Oh help me, help me please
I know it’s hard, not to feel like you’ve been broken
When so much love is missing from the start
And I know it’s hard, not to feel like you’re alone in
A world that’s lost and spinning in the dark
Oh help me, help me please
Help me please
Help me please
Oh help me, help me please
Oh help me, help me please
Oh yeah

Distant Drummer
04:36
|
|||
|
I got a light; I’ve got to follow
A distant lover, a pain in my heart
I’ll be all right, as long as I follow my guiding star
And shine on through the night
You are the light; I’ve gotta follow
A distant drummer beckons me to come
I’ll be all right as long as I follow my guiding star
And shine on through the night
Sometimes you led me down a rugged road
Taken me so far away, I’ll never get back home
That’s all right, my love
Still I’ve got to follow my guiding star
And shine on through the night
Sometimes you led me down a rugged road
Taken me so far away, I’ll never get back home
That’s all right, my love
Still I’ve got to follow my guiding star
And shine on through the night
Oh yeah
Shine on through the night
Oh yeah
Shine on through the night
Oh yeah
Shine on through the night
Shine on through the night
Oh yeah
Shine on through the night
Oh yeah
Shine on through the night
Oh yeah
Shine on through the night
Oh yeah
Shine on through the night

Two Words
04:50
|
|||
|
Here I am feeling down again
You made me feel like a clown again
Treat me like a tool
To use me til you’re through
Then it’s back up on the shelf again
Here I am with an open heart
All I wanted was to be a part
But for you it’s not the same
To you it’s just a game
And I know I only have myself to blame
And if I could choose two words to bless you with
The words I would choose would be true happiness
And I’d wrap my arms around you
Just like the clouds that wrap around the moon
See if I could choose two words to bless you with
The words I would choose would be true happiness
And I’d wrap my arms around you
Just like the clouds that wrap around the moon
If I could choose two words to bless you with
The words I would choose would be true happiness
If I could choose two words to bless you with
The words I would choose would be true happiness
If I could choose two words to bless you with
The words I would choose would be true happiness
And I’d wrap my arms around you
Just like the clouds that wrap around the moon

Do You Need A Friend
07:15
|
|||
|
Loneliness is like the winter
Just because you wear a coat
Don’t mean that it ain’t cold
Just because you’re in a crowd
Don’t mean you ain’t alone
We’re all waiting for the summer
For better times when
You don’t need nothing to be warm
I can feel myself getting older
Getting colder
So put on your coat and hat
I can see you’re lonely too
You don’t need to tell me that
I can see the weight you carry on your back
And yes, I’d like to put it down
And watch it drown
And it must’ve been love…
But you need to learn to try and love again
Yesterday don’t have to be tomorrow
And what about today?
Do you need a friend?
You’re gonna have to let go of your sorrow
Cause crying only feels good for a while
Then you’re gonna have to smile
If you want to love again
Do you need a friend?
If you really wanna know
I’m barely making it through the days
If you really wanna know
I’m barely making it through the days
People come and people go
But the loneliness is always the same
If you really wanna know
I’m barely making it through the days
If you really wanna know
I’m barely making it through the days
If you really wanna know
I’m barely making it through the days
If you really wanna know
I’m barely making it through the days
People come and people go
But the loneliness is always the same
If you really wanna know
I’m barely making it through the days
If you really wanna know
I’m barely making it through the days

Sometimes, an album comes along that feels fresh and well-work-comfortable at the same time. This is one of those. The music just feels right. The lyrics touch with a deep connection. And with every play, it feels more and more like a pair of broken-in boots and well-worn jeans.
