Should Have Done
04:16
|
|||
|
Is anyone here, is anyone listening to the song I sing for you?
I know it's been hard, but we have yet to fall apart.
I leaned on you, through most of it all, I thought that I was so very strong
But without you, I wouldn't be here at all.
Oh we should have done what we could have done
And we should have won when we could have won
And we might have tried but we were tired of it all.
Oh, we should have ran when we could have run.
Yeah, we should have loved when we could have loved.
But we didn't love because were tired of it all.
Again, I ask, is anyone here? Is anyone listening? Can anyone hear?
I'm afraid to cry out, into the dark.
So take my hand, and help me again, I hope that I won't become a burden. (dead end?)
If you want you can walk with me for while.
Let me see you again.

Day By Day
02:52

He bought a suit for interviews he'd never go on
It hangs inside his closet, never thought of since he bought it
But when he runs across his friends from college
He will say, "I'm pursuing my dreams, day by day. Day by day."
He met a girl he made his wife, they split the bills and rent
They fell in love in August, by November they were spent.
And when her parents visit on the holidays he'll say,
"I'm pursuing my dreams, day by day. Day by day."
The years go by. And so do I.
She doesn't love him anymore, his love for her is gone.
They thought it'd last forever but it turns out they were wrong.
And when he runs across a sympathetic ear he'll say,
"I'm pursuing my...
I'm pursuing my dreams.
I'm pursuing my...
I'm pursuing my dreams.
And when he runs across his friends from college
He will say, "I'm pursuing my dreams, day by day. Day by day."

Great Infinite Wild
04:19
|
|||
|
Catch me before I fall
I'm spinning out, out of control.
Hold me as hard as you can.
Don't let me escape, or slip through your hands.
It's a beautiful day but it's cold outside
And I am feeling numb.
It's a marvelous life, but I got left out
And I just wanted some.
Let's just runaway, into the great, infinite wild.
Let's get on the road, I'll write a song for every mile.
It's a glorious time, I know that's true
But I still feel so small.
The birds, they sing, but I can't hear anything at all.
I'm going crazy.
Are you going crazy, too?
Kiss me, kiss me now
Kiss me again, kiss me again.
And I will keep somehow
I will abide until the end.
It's a wonderful world, I see that now
I'm seeing so much more.
But I'm afraid of getting caught
outside in the storm.

Like I Need Oxygen
03:25
|
|||
|
Oh, you know that you are something of a miracle.
Yes, you're certainly a wonder of the world.
And when you smile
And when we kiss (And when you sigh) (And when we touch)
I go wild.
Every time I see that smile, the crooked one, it drives me wild
And I wanna press your lips against mine.
So, kiss, kiss me on the lips, let me feel the curve of your beautiful hips
As you press your perfect form against mine.
Every time I hear your sigh, the little happy, breathy sigh
Well, lover, don't you know it drives me wild.
So sigh, sigh, lover sigh, let another out, you drive me wild
And I wanna show exactly why.
Every time you touch me, girl, I feel electric sparks, of that I'm sure
You light me up and fill me with a glow
So touch, touch, touch me dear, let me feel your body oh-so-near
And your electric touch, it's drives me wild.
I need you, like I need oxygen
Let me breath you in.

Child Of God
05:27
|
|||
|
Once when I was a boy
Of about 9 or 10
I fell in love with the girl
who lived next door.
And every day after school
I would wait by our fence
And we would play til her parents
got home.
And she would sing this song
It still gives me shivers.
Mommy doesn't love me
And daddy doesn't want me.
But I'm a child of god.
There used to be / this kindly old man
Who'd make us hot cocoa
While we sat in his lap.
And he made her sing, the song that she sang
The song that I still hear every day.
He used to stroke her face
While she— sang this song.
One autumn day, she asked me to wait
She asked me to meet her at the top of the hill
And so I went, hoping to spend
Some time with the girl that I loved.
But she never showed, and I know that I know that I had failed her.
Oh she never arrived, for this was the day that she—died.
Every day for the year that we lived in that house
I would her singing in the middle of the night.
I know that I should have been very afraid
But I love the sound of her voice.
And she would sing to me
Now I've be set free,
Here's my song, I sing for you.

Where You Go
04:42
|
|||
|
et's go, go, go down the wild path
Where the poets swing and the madmen laugh.
Let's climb, climb, climb through the city hills
Where the hunters claim the skin of their kills.
Oh, the things that we do, the things that we do
I wanna do 'em with you.
Let's dance, dance, dance underneath the moon
To the pick-up band with the guy playing spoons.
Let's drop, drop, drop from the boughs of a tree
Into the churning, briny sea.
Oh, the things that we do, the things that we do
I wanna do 'em with you.
Where you go, I wanna go.
Let's swing, swing, swing from a telephone pole.
Let's drink all night and tell the stories we know.
Let's fall, fall, fall from the top of a bridge
Yeah, let's make the plunge, just to say that we did.
Oh, the things that we do, the things that we do
I wanna do 'em with you.
Where you go, I wanna go.
I don't wanna be alone.
I've been alone for so damn long
And I am growing weary from it all.
So won't you share a little love
I could use a little love,
Give me wings to help me with the fall.
Oh, I want so very little from this life.
Oh, I get so very little from this life.
I know.
Let's go, go, go down the rabbit hole
I've got the wine and you've got the gold.
Let's fall, fall, fall under a spell
'Cause I love you and that's just as well
Oh, the things that we do, the things that we do
I wanna do 'em with you.
(alternate lyrics)
And when we've reached the very end
And we've run out of time to spend
And all we are is jumbled memories.
We can sit and drink a beer
And laugh about our yester years.
And many will simply not believe.

Slay All Cyborgs
04:00
|
|||
|
Oh, the kids, the kids, they have become cyborgs.
And they're quietly freaking me out.
And they're quietly tearing things down.
I just can't think, I just can't eat
I just can't feel myself.
I just can't sleep, I just can't read
And I certainly can't spell.
We can't get any more connected.
Until we run tiny cables from our brain stems.
And we're growing so very disaffected.
They're amused, so amused, we amuse them.
And there's just no getting over this, there's just no single cure
There's a hive mind of vapid, base stupidity and it's pounding down our door.
We can't get away, there's no getting out.
There's no escape hatch other than shutting down.
But we've got so many distractions
Pretty lights illuminate new attractions.
So just let go and be a part of the dumbing out of all great art.
Here's another brand-new technology to replace your beating human heart.

The Pretty Kind
03:49
|
|||
|
I'm enamored with you
I wanna do what you do
So won't you just thrill me?
And if you turn me away
You know that there will be pain
It just might kill me.
'Cause you are one of the pretty kind
You dress so cool and you look so fine
And I adore the brilliance in your eyes.
Oh you are one of the ultra-cool
And you make up all your own damn rules
Ain't nothing I won't do to make you mine.
And I wanna be the one you come home to.
And I wanna be the one who gets to you.
I wanna take you to bed
I wanna get in your head
I wanna touch you all over.
'Cause I think your super-cool
And I'm hoping that you
Won't give me the shoulder.
Beautiful creature, oh, I need ya.
Don't let me down.

Goodbye California
03:11
|
|||
|
Goodbye, California, oh, you know you broke my heart.
And so I am leaving you, though the leaving's hard.
Did you even notice that we weren't growing closer
That instead we were growing apart.
I don't think you give you damn,
'Cause you don't have a heart.
Goodbye, California, are you sad to see me go?
I can't seem to shake the memories of what we had before.
You and I, alone at night
Drinking wine and getting high
And making plans to conquer the world.
But now I see the naked truth
Those were empty words.
A love like ours seemed very clear.
But I guess you didn't want me here.
I tried to make you happy.
Oh, I struggled so.
Now I must go.
Goodbye, California, oh, I'm leaving you today.
I've packed up all my things and now I'm getting on my way.
Though you'll always be a part of me
the reverse might not be true
But I will always miss you.
I hope I love my future home
As much as I loved you.

Wicked Thoughts
03:21
|

|
I'm so full of wicked thoughts
Wicked thoughts of you.
There's so many wicked things
That I wanna do.
I wanna make you scream, my love,
In utter ecstasy
So, lover, come home soon,
return to me.
I'm so full of wicked thoughts
I cannot turn them off.
My brain is pornographic, love,
I cannot make it stop.
I wanna feel you tremble,
Oh I wanna feel you writhe
So lover, come home soon
Return tonight.
Oh, I wanna do so many dirty things.
Yes, I wanna do so many dirty things.
I wanna make you scream, wanna make you sing,
Oh, dirty things.
All these wicked thoughts, my love
I'm burning with desire.
I'm so full of wicked thoughts
I'm practically on fire.
I wanna make you burn until you're on fire too.
So lover, please come home
Come home soon

Easy Fix
03:01
|
|||
|
Sometimes when I look around
I feel very weak.
There's so many poor about, so many on the street.
But fortunately, there's a fix, and you can use it too
It's called prescription drugs, they'll get you through.
And when I hear that children have died
By the hand of some madman
And the world transforms into a place
I don't understand
Well, fortunately, there's a fix, and you can use it too
It's called alcohol, it'll get you through.
It's an easy world, if you got an easy fix
All you need's an easy fix.
And when I'm low and feeling down
And no one is around
And I feel like almost everyday, I'm just losing ground
Well, fortunately, there's a fix, and you can use it too
It's called crack cocaine, it'll fuck you up.
And when I consider all the rampant avarice
All the good that could be done, but instead we're getting rich
Well fortunately, there's a fix, and you can use it all
It's called heroin, it'll take control .
It's an easy world, if you got an easy fix
All you need's an easy fix.

I hate music, I hate everything.
It's true. I do.
I truly do.
I hate music, I hate being broke.
I hate music, oh, I wanna choke.
I hate music, I hate everything.
Hate the songs I thing.
Why can't I write a song to pay my bills.
Oh, I'm only getting poorer.
Oh, i'm only getting older.
So much older, so much poorer.

'Til You Come Home
04:36

Let's get drunk tonight.
Let's make love tonight.
Let's put off everything
that we can put off until tomorrow.
Let's have fun tonight.
Everything's alright.
So long as you are with me love,
I will know no sorrow.
Oh, you know, when you are gone
I think about you, all the time.
Oh, you know, that when you go
I can't tune you out love,
It's like a broken radio
Playing my favorite song
Playing my favorite song
Til you come home.
Til you come home.
So come home soon, I'm missing you, I wanna kiss your everywhere.
I wanna take you in my arms and carry you up the stairs.
I want tonight to be a night of simple, joyful love.
Because, darlin', you're my everything and everything's enough.

When I jump, I'm gonna jump from the tallest building
And as I plummet to my doom, this song I will sing, going
Lie dee die, dee lie dee die,
When I burn I'm gonna burn brightest of all
As the flesh melts from my bones, I will sing this song, going
Lie dee die, dee lie dee die.
I will meet you in hell.
It will be a vacation, I can tell.
'Cause living without hope is the only hope I can hope for.
When I hang, I'm gonna hang from terrible height
And as the raven eat my eyes, I'm gonna cry going
Lie dee die, de lie dee die.
em, c, g, d
When we're burning in the pits of hell, don't you worry, I've got songs.
And when we're burning in the pits of hell, don't you worry, just singalong.

Miles & Miles Of Sand
03:41
|
|||
|
I have this recurring dream.
Where I'm standing on a beach
With people I can't identify
But I know that I love.
And these people, they are are terrified
Pointing to the horizon
There's a great wave, in the offing
And it's rising.
It's a great and mighty wave.
It's a great and mighty wave.
But I have no fear inside of me
At least no fear of the rushing sea
Because I know exactly what to do.
So I tell my friends, don't be afraid
Just dive into the bottom of the wave
And swim up to the surface before you drown.
And we dive into the wave.
The great and mighty wave.
And in the roiling waters of the sea.
I race to the surface so I can breath
And the wave it rolls on by.
And I pull myself up, on the beach
Hoping to find my loved ones near me.
But there is nothing but miles and miles of sand.
They were swept away.
They're always swept away.

Get Set Go Austin, Texas
Get Set Go is criminally under-appreciated.
However, they still make the best music you've never heard.
Get Set Go recommends:
Sebastian, hands down, is one of the most singular and passionate and skilled songwriters I have ever known. Like, if you know me at all, you know that those are the three metrics that matter.

Eric's music is everything you could ever want from someone that knows all the tiny bits about how music is made and still says, fuck it, I'm making MY music. I have learned so much from him.

Let the Machines

John's newest record is the only album I have encountered that is trying to grapple with the idea that machines are taking over, and we're pretty okay with that. And that is pretty darn awesome!
