Calling you up
You’re still in bed oh please
why can’t you just get up?
I’m on my own today
You’re drifting away
on a sea of pills and booze
I wish that you would change
and come alive for me
I need your friendship please
And the bones they rattle inside
inside my head
and the words come slowly
Please try to help me friend, oh I need you
Dear Claire how I need you
Give me a light
I wish you would come outside
there’s no one to see
the way that you have changed
I wish I could say
the things you need to hear
I should just stay
and comfort you today
I don’t know what to say

Gate and the Ghost
03:16

Contemplating life
At the water’s edge
Oh, I just don’t know
Should I dive in
To clear my head?
No, it’s time to go
What gives?
What becomes?
How do we move on?
Will we ever know?
Is there a road?
Where does it go?
Does it go home?
Standing at the gate
By the old townhouse
Are you still there?
Knocking at the door
I hold my breath
And I say my prayer
What gives?
What becomes?
The ghost, the mother and son
How do we move on?
Will we ever know?
Is there a road?
Where does it go?
Does it go home?
Pulling at the lock
Like a memory shift
Oh, it all comes back
My heart in my mouth
I can see the rift
From the other side now
What gives?
What becomes?
The ghost, the mother and son
How do we move on?
Will we ever know?
Is there a road?
Where does it go?
Does it go home?
The gate and a ghost
Won’t let me move on
The gate and a ghost
Won’t let me go home
The gate and a ghost
The gate and a ghost
The gate and a ghost
Won’t let me move on

Stormy Waters

What’s that I see out at sea?
Oh, stormy waters
So much filth, so much debris
What have you brought us?
We should be ashamed of ourselves
Why don’t we give a shit about the others?
How could we have been so dumb?
How looking after number one
Not the young ‘uns
And I know you
And you know me
So what’s wrong?
“Mother and father,
What’s to be done?”
Asks sons and daughters
This land was ours
But not anymore
It’s underwater
We should be ashamed of ourselves
Why don’t we give a shit about the others?
How could we have been so dumb?
How looking after number one
Not the young ‘uns
And I know you
And you know me
So what’s wrong?
The end it comes
I never thought it would take so long
You know where you are?
The wave it breaks the sandbar
The tide it comes in
And swallows everyone
Below the sinking sun

It's a Shame
04:25

Cold harbor lane, at 4 a.m.
I’m feeling blue
No chance of turning back
That bridge is burning too
This city is so tall
It crushes all hope dead
The weight of expectation
It’s all in my head
It’s a shame
We’re not the only ones
In this life
Who do you wish you were?
If you could break
If you could let go
Who would you be?
Will you ever know?
How to get by?
How to cope?
How to make ends meet?
A little hustle
A little take
There’s always the end of the week
Should you fail
Or take a chance
Could you face getting hurt?
It doesn’t matter
What anyone thinks
You’ll always have you worth

In a Long Time
03:54
|

|
Don’t be afraid, there’s always someone to talk to
Don’t be scared to leave the house on your own
Take this pill, it gets you going somewhere
It’s a thrill to meet a body unknown
Cold as you are
There’s someone waiting
Alone in a bar
They’re sat there waiting
Scared to be seen
Too quiet to be heard
Will you reach out?
You’d be the first
In a long, long time
In a long, long life
So it goes, I’ll meet you when we are older
Nothing’s changed, perhaps that’s what we need?
Take your time, it helps if you are careful
Open the door to no one you’ve seen
Just out of reach
Waits for an answer
A call in the dark
Blindly you answer
“I can’t be helped
Love is a curse
If you reach out
You’d be the first
In a long, long time
In a long, long life.”

Oh, My Beloved
02:41
|

|
Oh, my beloved
I put you through hell
Born on the outside
You came where I lived and said hey
Are you alone
Are you forgotten
That’s when I gave in
That’s when I said
I’ll give you all
I have in my stead
I left nought
I gambled it all
I couldn’t hold back
Oh, the life that you had
Seemed so appealing
To be part of your world
Oh, what would that mean?
But I got it wrong
Now that’s it over
Now that you’ve gone
nothing is left
Night came, the cold
Loneliness too
I was alone
When I should have been safe with you
I gave in too soon
I could have hung on
Built up a shell
Wear a new suit
Let in the light
Please do it soon
Or you’ll fail
You’ll become cold
You’ll become bitter
Oh, the life that we had
It wasn’t so bad
To be part of your world
I should have been glad
But I got it wrong
Now that’s it’s over
now that you’ve gone
nothing is left

Come in the Spring
03:02
|

|
Come in the spring
Leave the morning after
The fall begins
The windows shatter
I don’t want to say
Goodbye now, forever
I don’t want to leave
The way we were not ever
Down we both go
To the lakehouse
Past the old boat
Swim from the shore
I dive down deeper till
I lose you
I lose that thrill
The way that I am
The way that we both were
I miss you so
But I couldn’t leave here
I don’t want to be
The one that gives in too soon
I could never leave
Knowing you’re here
It’s too soon

Wired Eyes
02:20

Oh my soul
I never thought it could happen
Oh my heart
What is going on?
A man with a gun
Is laying claim
To every child’s name
You with the wired eyes
You never complain
You’ve got a heart so cold
Like the NRA
In every school
In every church in the country
The mission creeps
Are gunning for your soul
They want to break you
Will you give in?
Don’t let those bastards win
You with the wired eyes
You never complain
You’ve got a heart so cold
You cannot explain
On the side
They’re fighting for your life
Never raise your voice
In case you cry

Drive Down to DC
03:40
|

|
Been trying to tell you
The truth about me
...I’m not born again
I’m not so free
I miss
You
At times
Made up, then broke up
Now lost...alive
Plain and simple
Well, he claimed your life
You
Don’t know
Just what
You’re sayin’
I can’t believe you don’t know yourself
I can’t believe what you’ve done
Sad reminders of who we once were
Let’s just pretend we’re still young
Branded and cancelled
Each day that I’m with her
I don’t know who I am
The pain
That this love
Demands
Still
In solitude
The day is done
Why did I let go?
I should have held on
To your hand
To lead you
away
Late in the evening
I find you in flames
You say Ulyssess
Got in your brain
And now
You
Must leave
Drive down to D.C.
And fire up the flag
But what does it mean when you don that red hat?
Did I just
break down
and cry?

Something Good
02:53

Wait
It isn’t time
I can’t do what you want me too
It doesn’t feel right
Come on
As they say
This is the way that the world should turn
So turn that way
I can’t
Feels so wrong
I want to be who I really am
Just get along
Something good should come from this
Something good should come from life
Everything I do is wrong
Everything you do... is right
Hold
Don’t say goodnight
I think a single kiss could turn
Up this small sky
Then
Rome would burn
It’s the only way this town
Will ever learn

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems.
