Good Morning (The Future)
Eyes
Missed the last train home.
Birds pass by to tell me that I'm not alone.
Well I'm pushing myself to finish this part,
I can handle a lot,
But one thing I'm missing is in your eyes.
In your eyes
Have you seen this film?
It reminds me of walking through the avenues.
Washing my hands of attachments yeah,
I can land on the ground,
but one thing I'm missing, is in your eyes.
(Cause I find love),
In your eyes.
Sightlines
this night is broken
your mind is your prison
these sightlines
your eyes have seen the sunset
in the westend
the chaos of spinning signs
of who is lost and who is listening
these sightlines
and you fell in a web
that you'll never crawl out of
hopeless again
you're perpetually falling
falling again
there's no time to squander your existence
they'll pull you down
until there's no choice
but to resist them
these sightlines
and you fell in a web
that you'll never crawl out of
hopeless again
you're perpetually falling
falling again
you can't control
what all your senses fear
you can't protect
the ones that you hold dear
it swallows you up
until you disappear
and you'll never know how to get home again
this night is broken
Everyday
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Everyday it's a-gettin' faster
Everyone said, go ahead and ask her
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may
Do you ever long for, true love from me
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may
Do you ever long for, true love from me
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Love like yours will surely come my way
Debaser
(live acoustic version)
We were asked to record this Pixies song for a compilation. After tracking the song, we decided to play it live and acoustic. Pat had a monster migraine and wore sunglasses the whole time. The only thing I can remember is seeing his back the whole time, him slumped over the piano not really saying a word to anyone. I like this version better.
All You Need Is Love
Somebody asked us to record this Beatles song for a commercial. They asked us to try to make it sound exactly like the Beatles version. We tried that and it was resoundingly rejected. So for fun, we tried it this way. Rumor has it Paul McCartney was interested in using it for Memory Almost Full. That would be a false rumor.
Descended Like Vultures
Sometime during the recording of Descended Like Vultures (I'm guessing somewhere between bites of Mrs. Hogan's berry cobbler), I decided I wanted to have some markers that would begin, interrupt, and end the record. This one was supposed to be the opening of the record. Never made it on the record.
Vulture's Return
The middle marker for Descended Like Vultures. Something to hear that reminds you that yes, it is time to get up and turn the iPod over.
Vulture's Reprieve
The farewell that could have been. The original ending of Descended Like Vultures. It ain't easy writing something shorter than "Her Majesty".
