Let myself out, this morning again
Was on the first bus that I did see
Oh mister driver man oh where, where are we going?
He laughs at me and says son-
You know you're going for nowhere
Yeah you're going for nowhere.
So fuck it I guess I am going for nowhere
I guess I’ll never know when I will ever get there
The man on my left says, boy, just look at me now
‘Cause I know, just how you feel-
And I know what you need so sing with me.
La la la la la...
We’ve all been there before
We’ve pushed it all in, without
Even a single glance at your hand
But you know, you know my friend
That is fine
You raise your glass, you laugh it off-
Another sip of that oh so tasty wine.
La la la la la...
Would you meet me there?
When we arrive, we arrive to nowhere
‘Cause I would wait, I will wait for you
And we will wait for them, oh all of our friends
And then we’ll join, as one
And we’ll sing, oh we’ll sing and we’ll sing and we’ll sing...
And we’ll sing and we’ll sing! Oh oh oh
And we’ll sing and we’ll sing! Oh oh oh
I said that’s alright, I said that is alright! Oh oh oh
I feel it tonight; I feel it inside; I feel it alright! Oh oh oh

Conscription Eye

My mother said to me
That I could always be, what I wish to be
But now I am forced in line
To sign that sheet that already bears my name
You know it bears my time.
I don’t need your silver and gold
No I just long, to laugh and grow old
I don’t see, your reasons or rhymes
I don’t see, why I fall into Conscription’s Eye
Why?
Now what would you have with me?
'Cause I've never been far, I've never been much past Mr. Rogers yard
I’ve never shot a gun
You know that’s a lie, there was that one time that I shot my brother’s arm
Oh I got him good, yes I got him good.
I don’t need the silver and gold
No I just long, to laugh and grow old
I don’t see, your reasons or rhymes
I don’t see, why I’ve fall into Conscription’s Eye
Why?
Hold on...
Yeah my mother always told me
To be what I want to be.
No I don’t need your silver and gold
'Cause I know what I need to grow old.
No I don’t need your silver and gold
'Cause I know what I need to grow old!

I rolled out of bed today
The same way as yesterday, the same way as yesterday
I jumped in the mirror and said, hey!
Man you threw it all away
You’ve gone and thrown it all, all away.
But I think about it
I think about you, more than them
And I, I’ve been searching for it
But it keeps jumping between now and then
It’s always in the wind.
So I’ll stroll to the bar again
Oh hey how are you my friend?
I am sorry have I met you yet?
Oh please sister can you open that gin?
And just poor me a double again
Poor another double there for my friend.
But I think about it
I think about you, more than them
And I, I’ve been searching for it
But it keeps jumping between now and then
It’s always in the wind.
It’s in the wind.

Like That
04:52

If I called you on any Wednesday
Would you leave your house and come to mine?
I would make your favourite Tetley
Would you like that?
I would like that.
We could leave my door and follow my dog
Take a trip on down through the park
Say hello, to our friends - the birds, the trees and all the pretty things.
Would you like that?
I would like that.
It may get too cold outside
And you may just watch your own breath run into that clear night sky
We’d find that old patched up quilt, just waiting beside
Then we'd turn on that channel that never seems to let its fire die.
That would be nice
Nice.
Now would you still like that?
Because I, I would love that.

Say What You Want To Say
05:13
|

You wake up in the morning dew
Thinking about, all the things you wanted to do
Go on and stumble through the morning news
Do you find any clues? Or any signs for where to begin?
Oh well these are the days, when your sandbox is ready
But now you march oh so wearily, past your edge again
Say what you want to say.
You look up, you look oh so high in the sky
Hoping to find your dream floating in the thin air
But have you ever pondered while you’re strolling down Harbour Drive?
That maybe that dream, oh it’s dancing right in front of those eyes.
Oh well these are the days, when your sandbox is ready
But now you march oh so wearily, past your edge again.
But now you’re going back downtown
Just to see who’s out kicking around
But don’t you mind what they've claimed they found
Because you found it too.
Oh I can see this within you
Would you say what you want to say.

Stepping Stones
02:46
|

All of them saw, a few of them won
They came home on the rum
One shot in the air, made that message crystal clear
Boots strapped tight, hands gripped with fear.
One more stepping stone
One more place called home, the battle’s lost
But who’s won?
One more fork in the road
That's one more lost soul
Fight em' off, travelling on
The stepping stones.
Through the fortune and the fame
Blood lost the game
Take the track that rides without the train
No one saw it through, nor did me or you
Would you march on a ride with your fallen fear.
One more stepping stone
One more place called home, the battle’s lost
But who’s won?
One more fork in the road
That's one more lost soul
Fight em' off, travelling on
The stepping stones.

At All

I remember that day, when our eyes met
Playful like a couple of kids, singing in the rain.
We had fun, I would like to think
But now, as I think on it
I can’t recall just what we did.
Ahh ahh ahhh…
I’ve been standing, shocked and staring
Why’d you ever call me at all?
The cars fly by with their people, people
I guess it’ll soon be my time.
Ahh ahh ahhh…
At all, at all
Was I just for your wall?
And now, it’s gone
Or was it from your shot?
Now as you sip it along..
You cut through the night
You’re a sumptuous knife
Now I am shaking fixated on pavement
And I am wondering why you’d call me at all?
Ahh ahh ahhh…
At all, at all
Was I just for your wall?
And now, it’s gone
Or was it from your shot?
Now as you sip it along.
41 is a long, long number
Do you remember their faces, do you remember the calls?

You Got It
04:18

I’ve seen you out rolling around, through our town
Your finger's on the trigger now
Do you plan to shoot them down?
I’ve seen you out, just rolling around, through our town
Your ants are crawling around
Because that’s what they are to you.
Would you meet me tonight?
In the time
Meet me tonight.
You want it, you got it.
You can see it now just rising up, through the sky
Well it’s a black cloud, it’s your cloud
And you’ve been blowing it up.
Oh I hope, I hope, and I hope
You can see it through
Look around, and see
What’s left here, for you.
Hey!
Would you meet me tonight?
In the time
Meet me tonight.
You want it, you got it.
Would you meet me tonight?
In the time
You draw the line.
You want it, you got it.
You got it.

Out From Under
04:53
|
|||
I’ve been running straight ahead
The arrow points for me, oh I point for him
Now what is it worth running for?
Find it, hold it, until it’s yours in gold
But then you come…
Take the rug, from the feet
Where is the land, beneath those harsh hands?
The rug, from the feet
Abandon, the promise of plans
Steal the water from its sea, demand they answer from their knees
From their knees.
I feel I’ve played this game before
These walls shed their old stale familiar light
Wishing for something more
Withstand, hold fast and take the night
But then you come…
I can see it all play out
But now it’s not my choice, not my hour, I am still sifting through the dark
Forced to stay here for a while
Act as passersby, crossing not the yellow lines.
Take the rug, from the feet
Where is the land, beneath those harsh hands?
The rug, from the feet
Abandon, the promise of plans
Steal the water from its sea, demand they answer from their knees
From their knees.

Your Table
05:29
|

You watch through that old cloggy window
You wish they would take you away
The rain gallops on down the road
You remember dad's old boat, you'd like to take it and just row, row, row.
I, I think I should tell you
That you were made, just like us
I, I don't know you
But that's the beauty of friending someone else.
You will find your table when it comes looking for you
You won't have to see it, you'll just know
The seat will be waiting loyal to you, it won't fit no other bones
Come to the table and sit with me and we'll decide for ourselves
And we'll rise up from below.
I know, I know the things that they tell you
The path gets laid out, before the legs can move
Your expected, to exceed all those expectations.
But remember, you're the only one in a million suns.
So I, I think I should tell you
You were made just like us
Oh I, no I don't know you
But that's the beauty of friending someone else.
You will find your table when it comes looking for you
You won't have to see it, you'll just know
The seat will be waiting loyal to you, it won't fit no other bones
Come to the table and sit with me and we'll decide for ourselves.
You will find your table when it comes looking for you
You won't have to see it, you'll just know
The seat will be waiting loyal to you, it won't fit no other bones
Come to the table and sit with me and we'll decide for ourselves.
Come to the table and sit with me
Who knows where we'll go?

Park

Well you see Mr. Beatles tee, turns out I am just like you
I’ve stumbled and I’ve lost my way, and I don’t know home
But you you’re better off than me, as you sit there with your best friend and smile
Oh I sit here with myself, and watch the fountain pour its heart out.
But this, is how it goes
It’s just the way it’s been, for these days.
Oh you guys, listen I am happy for you, I am
They all just stop and stare and smile, to admire you’re love
But you, you sit patiently oh yeah, you haven’t got a single word to say
Your humbleness is truly amazing, how can this be real?
Well this is how it goes
It’s just the way it’s been, for these days.
So I leave unit 30 and I jump three blocks to North
It’s a five minute push down Elgin again
That familiar seat and the sun burns through my bones.
Oh I wonder, oh I wonder
Oh how I wonder, if that all just stays the same.
Sometimes I’ll just sit and watch, the birds sing their song
I think, they might sing it for me, no that’s probably for you
The squirrel he gobbles down his lunch, and he jumps for joy
Oh he runs in celebration, what a simple life that would be.
But this is how it goes
It’s just the way it’s been, for these days.
Now I leave unit 30 and I’ll jump three blocks to North
It’s a five minute push down Elgin again
That familiar seat and the sun burns through my bones.
And I wonder, oh I wonder
Oh how I wonder, if it all just stays the same.
I think it has, nothing seems to change
