Morning Moon Today's the first day I ain't seen the great plume of steam from across the lake From across the lake Hey that's a morning moon, yeah I'm not making strange. You said, "someone's paying" "When something's too cheap, somebody's paying something" You said, "someone's paying something" Under a morning moon, yeah Say those little things that don't make anyone feel better, yeah It didn't take too much to upset her Nothing that could clear a room Just say one little thing that could make me feel better Under this morning moon, yeah The Sun's a lightbulb and the Moon is a mirror There are times when you can see both the bulb and the mirror See the Bulb in the Mirror Well that's a Morning Moon, yeah Say those little things that don't make anyone feel better, yeah It doesn't take too much to upset her It was nothing that could clear a room Just say one little thing, trying to make you feel better Under this morning moon, yeah (morning moon) yeah Trying to make you feel better (morning moon) yeah Nothing too far from the truth Honey, Please I don't wanna work that hard I want your song in my head The way you sing it from the heart yeah Whenever I get lost Whenever I feel weak Whenever or just because You whisper it to me Honey, maybe everything you need Is on the other side of this feeling Honey, please But when I 'look for words' For more going concerns For the 'adventure of ideas' 'Adventure never returns' yeah Whenever I get stuck Whenever I can't speak Whenever just because You do it in your sleep Honey, maybe everything you need Is on the other side of this feeling Honey, please When all 'the poetry of the earth' Might be all there is It might still have some worth Yeah, but I can't dance to it Honey everything we need Is on the other side of this feeling This feeling Honey, right here underneath our feet Under all the stars of the County Everything we need Honey, please Under all the stars of the County with you tonight Under all the stars of the County with you by my side Under all the stars of the County shining bright Under all the stars of the County with you tonight The Last Recluse "No tears", you said, "understood?" "Understood!?" I said, "Awright" 'A crowd will be born' 'Only born die' I'm not one to watch for a sign in the night Or to watch 'a bomb go off in a young girl's life' Who are you, The Last Recluse? Who are you, The Last Canada Goose? Who are you, what is it with you? Who are you? Who are you? When the wind comes up and the surface of the water scuffs - Enough! Enough! - the ferry whistle cried Just ride, you said Ride and shut up I jumped on board, turned around to wave goodbye You were already on your bike and riding with my bike by your side Who are you, The Black Canoe? Who are you, The Last Of The Immune? Who are you? You rode out of view As far as I knew it was you Who broke my heart from the start Made me work, work so hard To get where I am To where I'd let you do it all again Who are you? Who are you? What do I do, without you? Who are you, The Last Recluse? Who are you, The Last Of The Immune? Are you The Last Canoe? The Last Canada Goose? Who are you? Who are you? (Who are you?) Coffee Girl Reference Window It's hard to leave your bed The cooling hot summer sheets Hangover hanging on by the fangs Walk to work on wild feet And get to the back door Look around and turn the key Turn on all the lights Take down the chairs and make things neat Hey there coffee girl Beautiful and disaffected It was perfect 'til He came along and wrecked it Your favourite mix tape You popped it into the deck Don't care it's out of date Old Cat Power and classic Beck Beware her veils(?) of cool With it come Acts of One Taking canons to fools When all you need's a BB gun Hey there coffee girl (hey there coffee girl) Beautiful and disaffected It was perfect 'til (it was perfect 'til) He came along and wrecked it One night he'll make you choose I am sorry but he will The heartscape or your shoes When the moon's behind the hill Hey there coffee girl (hey there coffee girl) Beautiful and disaffected It was perfect 'til (it was perfect 'til) He came along and wrecked it Hey there coffee girl (hey there coffee girl) Now The Struggle Has A Name Applause can begin Now, the apologies done Applause begins If it bleeds it leads If it cries it flies If it feeds a need If it dies, it dies Now the struggle has a name It doesn't fade, it hasn't changed I still feel the same Now the struggle has a name And Honey Watson I struggle on Oh, Honey Watson We were born with sin Some truth, some reconciliation And gone with the wind If it feeds the need If it dies, it dies Now the struggle has a name We are the same, it hasn't changed I still feel the same Now the struggle has a name Honey Watson I struggle on Gone, like an attraction Like the sun in a mirror Gone, like it was destined To simply disappear Gone, like Honey Watson Applause can begin The song is almost done Applause begins Now the struggle has a name It doesn't fade, it hasn't changed I still feel the same Now the struggle has a name Now the struggle has a name We are the same, it hasn't changed I still feel the same Now the struggle has a name And Honey Watson I struggle on The Depression Suite I bury my head and try and shut Chicago out As it turns out, there's a whole other world of sounds Of perfect fifths, low skids, and Arctic howls All saying, are you going through something? Are you going through something? Under the pillow, a little room to breathe The early morning light's a pale cranberry I hear the Aah-aah-aah, not now-wow-wow Of a siren far away and closing steadily Saying, are you going through something? Are you going through something? Cause I.. I.. I am too Under the pillow I can hear you whispering, are you going through something? Well honey, are you going through something? Are you going through something? Then I.. I.. I am too New Orleans World Gimme gimme gimme gimme-gimme Gimme an opportunity, gimme-gimme Put me put me put me put me-put me In the saddle, I'll ride you'll see There's new work in the Day Room I can't lounge online, don't you laugh I'd sell a giraffe and I'd give you half Just to occupy my mind I'll be driven, my eyes always moving I'll be riveted to the task, yeah No smiling, that's important I will make my face a mask And I'm thinking, just in passing What if this song does nothing What if this song does nothing Working in the new NewOrleansWorld I'm emptying slots, working like a ghost I move through huge rooms with no windows And no Gulf of Mexico Gimme gimme gimme gimme-gimme Gimme an opportunity, gimme-gimme Put me put me put me put me-put me In the saddle please I'll be driven, my eyes always moving I'll be riveted to the task, yeah No smiling, that's so important I will make my face a mask And I'm thinking, just in passing What if this song does nothing What if this song does nothing What if this song does nothing What if this song does nothing Don't You Wanna See How It Ends? Bring on the requisite strangeness It always has to get a little weird, little weird Yeah you just bring on the requisite strangeness Bring it on, then disappear, disappear Go to be a man of the boom To Florida without the ocean But, don't you wanna see how it ends? When the door's just starting to open? When Athabasca depends? Don't you wanna see how it ends? I can hear you But I can't stay here You left me lost in the Barrens You left me born on the stairs It's minus eleven Inside of my kettle I didn't come to get lost in the Barrens I didn't come to settle To be a man on the moon To get my little slice of heaven Yeah, don't you wanna see how it ends? When the door's just starting to open? And Athabasca depends? Don't you wanna see how it ends? Don't you wanna see how it ends? The door's just starting to open Athabasca depends Don't you wanna see how it ends? Yeah, don't you wanna see how it ends? I'm holding the door to the Barrens So now Athabasca depends Don't you wanna see how it ends? The Exact Feeling The exact feelingIs coming back around The tiger's wheeling And covering some ground I'm up to my torch, I'm up to my tits Maybe I got no more interest In the exact feeling Is all I ever tried to do The perimeter, the ceiling Just to dribble somewhere new I'd be on my hands, I'd be on my knees Saying, hey bartender one more of these For the exact feeling The exact feeling maybe isn't what I think Not the singularity Or a thousand million dreams Not a prosperity that means I never have to say a thing Maybe the exact feeling Is on the other side of this feeling And I remember stealing Lying begging loneliness Flying falling kneeling Trying to get them to notice I'm not being sad, I'm not being dear I only want to stay with you right here In this exact feeling In your exact feeling Queen Of The Furrows This is how we farm, hens cluck and roosters crow You are my heart, staring down from the puerile To be apart, is that why you have to go To conversation city, everybody's talking You must have something to say Conversation city, making conversation Working at it night and day "Watch yourself", I say to my toasted western This is how I feel and it's when I learn the most You are my heart, you're my Queen of the Furrows This is how I feel, hens cluck and roosters crow In the night fields Everything dark yellow I make my way by feel By my neighbour's glow You are my heart, oh my Queen of the Furrows This is how I farm, eyes up and ears down low You are my heart, you're my Queen of the Furrows This how I feel, hens cluck and roosters crow This is how I feel But in conversation city, everybody's talking You must have something to say Conversation city, making conversation Working at it night and day You are my heart, oh my Queen of the Furrows This is how I farm, eyes up and ears down low You are my heart, you're my Queen of the Furrows This how I feel, hens cluck and roosters crow You are my heart, this is how I feel This is how I feel, this is how I feel It's how I feel This is how I feel Speed River Stunning, I'm almost shivering You'd become Anyone, don't hate who you have to be Speed river take me away Speed river take me away Speed river take me away Hard stuff Give me a dose of the hard stuff Okay, enough Okay, enough of the hard stuff Speed river take me away Speed river take me away Speed river take me away Away from this Away from this Awake enough This feels like I've been here before You said, don't be tough Let's go back. I said, let's go forward Speed river take me away Speed river took you away Speed river took her away Away from this Away this minute This house Sounds just like a bomb hit it It's an old sound That says, if you asked me to I'd relive it Speed river take me away Speed river take me away Speed river take me away Away from this Away this minute Away for one moment, away from this feeling From feeling this Away Away from this moment, away from this feeling From feeling this Away from this Frozen In My Tracks Sometimes when I'm walkingI dream I'm being taken for granted It's then that I clearly imagine The Day That You Take Me For Granted You said, one day you're gonna realize You really have no sense of yourself And with no way to take it back You'll get frozen in your tracks Frozen in your tracks Sometimes when we're talking I feel like you're not even listening It's then that I clearly remember Rarely ever seeing you listening You said, when you gonna realize You really have no sense of yourself There's no way to take it back You've been frozen in your tracks Simpler than the rest, you don't do stupid games You're not more complex, you don't lay 'violent blame' Tonight I was walking (tonight I was walking) Feeling alone on this planet (feeling alone on this planet) When all at once something stopped me (when all at once something stopped me) (I realized I'd taken you for granted) I realized I'd taken you for granted And tonight I realized I really have no sense of myself No way to take it back I am frozen in my tracks I'm frozen in my tracks Frozen in my tracks Love Is A First I’ve been as touchless as a drunk This is as bad as or worse, as bad as or worse This is as bad as or worse, as bad as or worse Love is a curse (that he who would own it deserves) Love is a curse (get what you give not deserve) I know, I know this is all just first blurts; that he who would try to own it deserves it And I know it’s got nothing to do with 'deserves it' It's just that you don’t just blurt "love is a curse" (Love is a curse, love is a curse) (You don’t just blurt "love is a curse") Though I’ve been too weak to escape And I don’t have the strength to pluck a grape Though it’s as bad as or worse, as bad as or worse Though it’s as bad as or worse, as bad as or worse Love is a first (I've felt the dull fangs of the truth) Love is a first (I've heard the music they torture to) Love is a first (I saw Old Power enforced) Love is a first (I was more the Devil of Darkness' horse) (I drank the poison from the source and smoked that murder, fell on the floor) (and watched the near-death of your TV, and dreamed its darkly nurtured dreams) (and drained my ocean of its worth like God’s representatives on the earth) (learned how to hurt and how not to hurt, and the thing you taught me, what I learned?) (love is a first) Though it’s as bad as or worse, as bad as or worse As bad as or worse, as bad as or worse Love is a curse (that he who would own it deserves) Love is a first (though it occurs and occurs) Love is a curse (you get what you give not deserve) Love is a first (love just occurs and occurs) (I drank the poison from the source and smoked that murder, fell on the floor) (and watched the near-death of your TV, and dreamed its darkly nurtured dreams) (and drained my ocean of its worth like God’s representatives on the earth) (learned how to hurt and how not to hurt, and the thing you taught me, what I learned?) (love is a first) Country Day A gentle breeze gently blown Country day Country day Another day in the unknown I can feel it in my bones Country day Where mister misses smoke (?) And things are finally clicking Still having trouble with the things that are meaningful But yeah, really clicking Our dreams are where we're at Where we can see and touch With work we understand But we don't want for much Country day A day in the unknown A gentle breeze gently blown Country day Country day Another day in the unknown I can feel it in my bones Country day You infiltrate my life You resonate with meaning I wrote "I Love You" on a rock one night Threw it, never dreaming Now our dreams are where we're at What we can feel and touch It's work we understand But we don't want for much Country day A day in the unknown A gentle breeze gently blows Country day Country day Another day in the unknown I can feel it deep in my bones Country day And that rock it missed your head Though it didn't miss by much I remember what you said No I mean it, I am touched And somehow, it is enough So God keep our land Cause we certainly can't Until the darkness ends Until the sun dries again Our dreams are where we're at What we can smell and touch Work we understand We don't want too much Country day A day in the unknown Where they'd been, where we're going Country day Country day Another day in the unknown Gently drawn to a close Country day...
