Mulligan's Island 03:33
lyrics

I used to walk alone and write of all the silly things and the pretty light I used to lay in fields and feel watching the clouds disappear I watched my parents fight and stole from my brothers happy meal Jumped from my bed to the open door Avoiding monsters on my floor I demand a do-over, do-over I would like a childhood that's so good All the fears that I have been feeling I could watch them fade away I told stories about werewolves living in our closets I had nightmares about tiny witches chasing me on rockets I wanted braces so I could feel grown up in my third grade fantasy I thought that no one understood 'cept for the crew from Goonies I demand a do-over, do-over I would like a childhood that's so good All the fears that I have been feeling I could watch them fade away I demand a do-over, do-over I would like a childhood that's so good All the fears that I have been feeling I could watch them fade away I demand a do-over, do-over

Sunshine 03:37

I wait for the day to come to a close It’s only begun a moment ago in this town The minutes are hours dusting my bones Settling here and there in my soul And this town Is not what I thought it’s not what I dreamed It’s not why I ran away from myself to this town Asleep on the floor a tear in my eye Reminds me to cry reminds me to lie to myself Will I never go Where the sun Shines Hating myself fading away I ran out of wine I ran out of time In this town Asleep on the floor a tear in my eye Reminds me to cry reminds me to lie to myself Will I never go Where the sun Shines solo I wait for the day to come to a close It’s only begun a moment ago in this town Asleep on the floor a tear in my eye Reminds me to cry reminds me to lie to myself Will I never go Where the sun Shines

Punkrocker (Teddybears cover) 04:19
lyrics

You see me drivin' down the street I'm bored with looking good I got both hands off the wheel The cops are comin' I listen to the music with no fear You can hear it too if you're sincere 'Cause I'm a punkrocker, yes I am Well I'm a punkrocker, yes I am I see you stagger in the street And you can't stay on your feet And you're fakin' in your sleep You wish that you were deep You can hear me laughing to myself If you could, you would be someone elsep 'Cause I'm a punkrocker, yes I am Well I'm a punkrocker, yes I am See me die on bleaker street I'm bored with being God See me sneering in my car I'm driving to my star I'm listening to the music with no fear You can hear it too if you're sincere 'Cause I'm a punkrocker, yes I am Well I'm a punkrocker, yes I am

Red Rover 03:35

Light shines through Daylight fades Light shines through Daylight fades I am shattered in the evening on the back of the beast All the ghosts of the future are following me I run right through my spirit guides I’m riding high search and hide for you Light shines through Daylight fades When I run I run away from myself When I shout for joy I leave pride on the shelf When I spin around we all fall down Bloody Mary in the mirror stands upside down Daylight fades Light shines through Red rover red rover set love right Red rover red rover send the right one through Red rover red rover shed love’s light Red rover red rover send the right one through In a game for kids no one else can win We all fall down in a pile of sin When I play charades no one guesses my name My face may change but my heart's the same Daylight fades Red rover red rover set love right Red rover red rover send the right one through Red rover red rover shed love’s light Red rover red rover make my dreams come true Light shines through Dreams do come true Light shines through Daylight...

the Chaufferette (Duran Duran cover) 04:29
lyrics

Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving All looking for a new place to drive You sit beside me, so newly charming Sweating dew drops glisten, fresh in your side And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Way down the lane away, living for another day The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze Swim seagull in the sky Towards that hollow western isle My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Siiiiiiiiiing Blue Silver And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind To tear out from your eyes With a word to stiffen brooding lies But I'll only watch you leave me further behind And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Sing Blue Silver Sing Sing Blue Silver And the sun…

Crack in the Back 03:14
lyrics

In life sometimes the wonderful go under stress and crack in the back A song as obscure as a whale’s goes fast away Hear those echoes being raised rip my eardrum from my head I used to roll my wheels on the fast lane couldn’t tell the bad from the nice Hey babe join me on my skid ride on thin ice See that light passing through Ice opaque sticks like glue If time is on your side and helps you carve your track with huge success lasting long looking up high called luck If space is ample beneath your feet and you’ve taken the millionth walk in the very same terrain do you feel proud sedated as a rock At first we painted a landscape to ourselves tricky things kept somewhere else mountain lines and riverbeds and a few colors in subtractive sense Chopped down our childhood trees bonfired the bench of our first kiss Baby when i met you it was all already falling apart being with you was like pollen to the bee or maybe meat to the shark Touch my skin and feel my heart can you heal the crack in the back Touch my skin and feel my heart Can you heal the crack in the back

Grey Sea 04:41
lyrics

Thursday evening came and I sang Dutifully to you You poured your heartbeat out and smiled Beautifully blue Can you hear me? Can you hear me? I can’t love you The only sun I see Is from underwater At the feet of who have been Could I be another Can you hear me? Can you hear me? I won’t love you As the crickets fly crying out their cry So dutifully dark and beautifully In your ocean In your ocean I am drowning I am drowning In your grey sea In your grey sea Be carried away Away from me Solo In your ocean In your ocean I am drowning I am drowning In your grey sea In your grey sea Be carried away Away from me These woods so dark These trees so tall And I’m on their shoulders Looking down from high above ….Did we grow older?

We Govern We Los Angeles, California

People say various things about We Govern We.One of their members thinks it's like Cindy Lauper w/ the Killers.Their local paper describes them as Shiny Toy Guns with a BitterSweet.Maybe it's La Roux touring with the Bad Seeds, but it doesn't really matter because how can you pigeonhole a band that, after paying tribute to the Pixies and Placebo, names both Duran Duran and Sigur Ros as influences? ... more
