about

this is the more condensed version of two albums i had put together earlier in the year. i had got a bit caught up in the whole putting together releases and the thought of people listening to my tunes that i end up releasing everything at once.

i've decided to go back and put together a more listenable release. a nice 30 minutes and out.

hope it's enjoyed.

Track Name: because my headphones broke
because my headphones broke

i was humming along to the song
you were singing the day that we met
"you can count on me"
you were singing it out to
the moon and the sun
from the bottom of your lungs
"you can count on me"

don't waste your time on being lonely
i've wasted enough for us both
don't waste your nights getting drunk and horny
i've been wasted enough for us both

all my life
or at least the parts that i can remember
have been alright
but i've always had a feeling things could be better

things could be better
better than alright

(repeat)
Track Name: you won't die alone (ft. Family Friends)
You Won't Die Alone


well the money come in and the money go out ya
the money come in just as fast as it go out
its soda pop dinner in the microwave
i guess baby's in the corner no ones dancing much these days
well if you got soul don't you ever let 'em know
cause once its sold they'll come right back for your gold
and the money come in and the money go out
ya the money come in just as fast as it go out
fast as it goes out

and when the money stop coming in ...

you won't die alone
you won't die alone
dust off my bones
you won't die... alone


the money come in and the money go out
ya the money come in just as fast as it go out
been up late hanging with my suicidal neighbor
she's so afraid her little daughter's gonna break her fall
so if you got soul don't you ever let it show
cause once its sold don't you know they'll be right back for your gold
and the money come in and the money go out
ya the money come in just as fast as it go out
fast as it goes out

and when the money stop coming in...

you won't die alone
you won't die alone
dust off my bones
you won't die... alone

the money come in and the money go out
ya the money come in just as fast as it go out
Track Name: when one night stands go wrong
when one night stands go wrong

3 minutes to 3, and you said 'there's nowhere else that i would rather be'
or maybe that was me, time, makes it hard remembering memories
i know it was you and me, and we were, sharing a smoke on the balcony
it wasn't hard to see, that there would be nothing else that we would ever need

and you said

what's the point in taking it slow?
the heart want what the heart wants to know
and your so much like
nobody that i .... have ever known

and you said 'can i take you home?'
and i said 'you can take me home'
you'll never be alone

10 minutes to 10, and you said 'i'd love it if i could see you again'
well somethings never end, they just go, round and up and down and bend
i'll love you to the end, i wasn't listening could you say that again
i'll love you till the end, i loved you ever since that moment when

you said

what's the point in taking it slow?
the heart want what the heart wants to know
and your so much like
nobody that i .... have ever known

and you said 'can i take you home?'
and i said 'you can take me home'
you'll never be alone
Track Name: checkers vs. chess
checkers vs chess


one two three your...

baby's in reno with a bottle of gin
and she ain't leaving till you come in
oh life gets hard when you mix your booze with women

your packing your bags and your leaving today and
there ain't nothing left to say
even momma say your making a mistake
a mistake that ain't worth its weight, wait wait wait

oh maybe she is all you need
maybe maybe maybe she is just all that you see

you better find a smoke before you hop on that train
cause it is leaving at 6 and it just goes one way
and its a long hard walk back home

ya a 1 and a 2 may add upto 3
but you better know more than just your ABC's
if you don't want to spend your nights alone
alone, just counting sheep, shee she she she

oh maybe she is all you need
maybe maybe maybe she's just all you see

time moves slow. it moves slow. it moves slow.
when your standing still.

if you walk back in her life just a starin' at your shoes
you best be packing boy, cause if she smells that your weak
she will tie you down, with a leash

take 1 step in her direction and she will know that she's right
even though she know damn well she was just looking for a fight and the bait. oh the bait is always the same.
its the same. every time time time time

oh maybe she's all you need
maybe maybe maybe shes just all you see
Track Name: young at heart, old in face (ft. Sam and the Love)
young at heart, old in face (with Sam and the Love)

so your growing old

well everybody always had something to say
ya everybody always had something to say
but you never listened anyways
kept your muddy socks stuck in your ways

time never takes its time
no time never takes its time
but moving ahead means leaving behind
so you slept all day and dreamed that you were flying

and so your growing old

you lied to yourself and said you'd change
you were a wide eyed child and wide eyed
is what you stayed

and so your growing old
Track Name: european soul
european soul

you got a european soul
but she got them north american spending habits
you love her even though

she fake tans before the sun comes up
you take your coffee black she gets a double shot low fat
sprinkles and whip cream

but still, you say
that you love her so
that girl that you see
ain't the woman i know

oh oh, and you hope its just a phase
oh no, she couldn't always stay this way

you got a european soul
but he got that north american ladder climbing in him
you love her even though

he cut in front to fall in line
and even when you get away, he check his email everyday
he talks in numbers and cliches

but still, you say
that you love him so
that boy that you see
ain't the man that i know

oh oh, and you hope its just a phase
oh no, he couldn't always stay this way

just don't try and tell me you heart ain't
second guessing the day it let you let yourself go
Track Name: lovely day (ft. Pieter the Rooster)
lovely day (ft. Pieter the Rooster)

i suggest you live your life to the fullest
stop thinking about, whether this move is right
this move is wrong and just make your move
before this move is gone

regret's a miserable bitch, when its the only thing around

cause when they bury your head, 6 feet
further away, from the stars
does it matter, all the plans you made?
all the little things that you were going to say?

counting pennies and waiting for change

what happened to the beat when your heart skipped?
when you bit your tongue cause she licked her lips
you think too much, you think too much
your problem is, that you think too much

think too much, before you think out loud

oh, what a lovely day
now don't you go, go waste it away
oh, what a lovely day
now don't you go, don't go throw it away
Track Name: farmhouse
farm house

farm house
has burnt to the ground, burnt to the ground
down to the ground
and our love
it never got out, it never got out
never got out
darling
we'll start again, we'll start again
over again
and our love
will grow from the ground, grow from the ground
up from the ground

five years
i can still smell the smoke, it still burns my eyes
still fills my lungs
and our love
it never got out, never got out
never got out
darling
we'll just give it time, just give it time
oh give it time
and our love
will rise up like smoke, fill up our lungs
black out the sky

farm house
has burnt to the ground, burnt to the ground
down to the ground
and our love
it never got out, it never got out
never got out
darling
we'll start again, we'll start again
over again
and our love
will grow from the ground, grow from the ground
up from the ground
