Back up the disc They’re almost at this floor We’re at 79% Barricade the door When we’re at 100 Log out, shut down and run We’ve gotta get clear across town And get this information out To everyone Cut the red wire We’re almost out of time 7 more seconds Let’s put it all on the line If the clock stops And we’re all still here We’ve got to get clear across town Save the girl and the disappear One long series of endings I was planless but now I have a plan You’d think there’d be a point where we slow down But the borders do nothing but expand You won’t get away with Everything you’ve done I may be the good guy But I’m the good guy with this gun Hand her back or this whole ship is going to hell Then I’ve got to get you clear across town Into a prison cell One Long series of questions Till you realise everyone else is faking You’d think there’d be a point where our future matches expectations But what’s yours is everyone else’s for the taking

She’s got a mind of her own She’s got things going on She’s part of me now She’s the should’ve been here all along She’s the all I can do to keep her happy and warm She’s the calm before the port in the storm She thinks too much of me She’s the one I hate to let down She’s too good for this place But She’s the one I have to have around She’s the wait you’ll wait all night She’s the best, bitter and the sweetest bite And when it all comes down It all comes down to her And when it all goes south We’ll be as we were
I’ll be her sweet chauffeur She’s invincible She’s got tricks up her sleeve She’s one step ahead She’s all I can believe She’s the one in every crowd She’s the silver lining on this cloud And when it all goes away We’ll still be side by side And when it all blows up She’ll know just where to hide And she’ll get all I can provide

I don’t think you get it You think you’re doing fine The wind whispers forget it While you’re still doing time and the sound the sound of failure The hammering in the gut Words hanging in a bubble Waiting to hear the but... Break me off some of that won’t you What did you do to deserve that The wall writing now a faint blue Like the faint memory of a cat And the noise the noise of anger The kaleidoscopic voices Huddled in a throng a million strong Left without any choices Why are we asking for help? Instead of those who don’t think that they need it What did We ever do, really? When you did all you could to bleed it And I could collect up all the postcards Send each one off to someone new Like flowers falling in the water Knowing their days are finally through There’s beauty in quiet defiance Plant your feet firm and carry your tune It’s a waltz under bloody street lights And wildly indifferent moon And you’ve forgotten the basic program You’ve coded the message all wrong You can’t take it back to where you bought it There’s no refunds on the words of a song

You made your first It’s here on the desk Another one passed Momentarily wrecked And the wind machines Are crippling the state We hold on to each other He holds on to our fate So. Here We Are. And what have we learned And will we learn anything And what have we burned And all is not well and All is not free And where we’ll end up Is between you and me And here we are It’s light and it’s dark It’s up and it’s down The backs of the beaten On the back of a clown And the old steam engine Put down for the night We hold on to each other Through fear and through fight So. Here We Are.
And what have we earned someone’s earning something And Rome has still burned And all will be right When all can be free And where we’ll end up And will we find the key And here we are It’s old like the wallet Walt used on the stairs We’ve chalked up the sidewalk And we chase down the bears And the board has been stolen While the pieces stay packed There’s ice in the corners
And a few of us clapped So Here We are Through all that’s been churned There’s weight to your shadow And a hole in the urn And all is not all It’s cracked up to be And where we’ll end up Is between you and me And here we are

about

Recorded in a week, All the songs were written and recorded in just a handful of hours, over 4 days, with only a few takes and in a rough and ready way just to prove it to myself that I could. Why not, right?

Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures New Milford, Connecticut

Songwriting and banging your instruments together

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
