The Fishermen 3

Where are you going, what do you wish?
The old moon asked the 3.
We've come to fish for the herring fish
That live in the beautiful sea
Once I knew me a preacher man
Once I knew me a circus clown
Once I knew a fish out of water
All dressed up in a wedding gown
Now I don't believe in yesterday
Now I'm just a man out of time
And the Fishermen 3 are friends of mine
And there ain't no judgment day
And there ain't know big brass ring
And there ain't no pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow or anything
There's just the things that be
And not afraid are we
Say the Fishermen 3
Once I fell from a mountaintop
Once I fell on a feather bed
Once I fell under the spell of a temptress
And ended up in a hole half dead
Now I'm just a man out of time
And the Fishermen 3 are friends of mine
And there ain't no judgment day
And there ain't know big brass ring
And there ain't no pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow or anything
There's just the things that be
And not afraid are we
Say the Fishermen 3
All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam
Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home
And there ain't no judgment day
And there ain't know big brass ring
And there ain't no pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow or anything
There's just the things that be
And not afraid are we
Say the Fishermen 3
Where are you going, what do you wish?
The old moon asked the 3.
We've come to fish for the herring fish
That live in the beautiful sea

Where Settlers Go
03:59

Why can't I have what I want when I want it?
What makes it wrong if I go out and get it?
I'm so sick of all of the let-downs
I know for sure that I can't keep my head down
My mind is racing, can't keep on waiting
I want it all, no hesitating
My mind is racing, can't keep on waiting
I want it all, no hesitating, cuz
I'm fed up with all the pushing and the pulling
All fed up that everyone is settling
I can't settle now, no, I never will
I won't go where settlers go
Why can't I go where I want when I need to?
Isn't my mind the tool for my freedom?
I'm so sick of the stale state of conscience
Don't try to tell me that dreaming is nonsense
My mind is racing, can't keep on waiting
I want it all, no hesitating
My mind is racing, can't keep on waiting
I want it all, no hesitating, cuz
I'm fed up with all the pushing and the pulling
All fed up that everyone is settling
I can't settle now, no, I never will
I won't go where settlers go
I don't need happiness all of the time
Feeling half bad is feeling just fine
I can get off on moments of aching
All these emotions are mine for the taking
My mind is racing, can't keep on waiting
I want it all, no hesitating
My mind is racing, can't keep on waiting
I want it all, no hesitating, cuz
I'm fed up with all the pushing and the pulling
All fed up that everyone is settling
I can't settle now, no, I never will
I won't go where settlers go

Kiss You Slow
06:01
|
|||
|
I know you didn't think that loving me meant so much time alone
Dinner for one on the couch, another movie on your own
You know that I was never meant be a nine to five, that was never me
I was born with a compass in my hand and a restless soul
But when it hurts, when you can't take it
And when the rubber band feels like it's breaking
Hear the kick drum, that's my heart right there
Let the melody run its fingers through your hair
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
And my vocals tickle your ear
And you almost can feel me here
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
As far as ladies go, baby you should know you're so patient
You're a thick skin, definition of low maintenance
But it's enough, time goes by
You can help but dim your light
An empty house can make a cold heart feel so naked
But when it hurts, when you can't take it
And when the rubber band feels like it's breaking
You hear the kick drum, that's my heart right there
Let the melody run its fingers through your hair
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
And my vocals tickle your ear
And you almost can feel me here
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
Oh, let the audio
Be your second home for a while
And hold onto every note
Baby listen close for me inside
And hear the kick drum, that's my heart right there
Let the melody run its fingers through your hair
When my piano will kiss you slow
And hear the kick drum, that's my heart right there
Let the melody run its fingers through your hair
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
And my vocals tickle your ear
And you almost can feel me here
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
Will kiss you slow tonight
Will kiss you slow tonight
Will kiss you slow tonight

7:00 this morning
The earth spun in the usual direction
The sun was right on schedule
Light and shadow made a love connection
And so it goes,
The stuff of countless prose
Ordinary, ordinary
7:00 this morning
The pawns of commerce trudge out to their carpools
They brave the cluttered highway
And entertain a longing for their barstools
And so it goes
They're living the life they chose
Ordinary, ordinary
7:00 this morning
Denying all the latest circumstances
I waited like a fool for her arrival
I guess I used the last of my last chances
Tears are cheap,
I should get some sleep
Ordinary, ordinary
7:00 this morning!

Crosseyed and Painless
06:51

Lost my shape
Trying to act casual
Can't stop
I might end up in the hospital
Changing my shape
I feel like an accident
They're back
To explain their experience
Isn't it weird?
Looks too obscure to me
Wasting away
And that was their policy
I'm ready to leave
I push the fact in front of me
Facts lost
Facts are never what they seem to be
Nothing there
No information left of any kind
Lifting my head
Looking for the danger signs
There was a line
There was a formula
Sharp as a knife
Facts cut a hole in us
There was a line
There was a formula
Sharp as a knife
Facts cut a hole in us
Still waiting
The island of doubt
Is like the taste of medicine
Working by hindsight
Got the message from the oxygen
Making a list
Find the cost of opportunity
Doing it right
Facts are useless in emergencies
The feeling returns
Whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head
Looking around inside
Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things
Still waiting

Platinum
04:20

I need some ambience, I need some atmosphere
I don't steal so much as borrow what I hear
I need another house, another credit card
Don't wanna break a sweat, don't wanna work too hard
What are a few stolen notes between friends?
I don't create when I can follow trends
Plagiaristic means to platinum ends
Platinum, I wanna go platinum
I need another hit, I need to justify
The money that I make, the records that I buy
Someone else's sweat bought the car I drive
Nobody's caught me yet, they won't take me alive
What are a few stolen notes between friends?
I don't create when I can follow trends
Plagiaristic means to platinum ends
Platinum, I wanna go platinum
Conscience is a burden and a self-indulgent luxury
It doesn't take a genius to commit artistic larceny
Why cultivate a talent when ambition is all that you need
You like my new song?
I knew you would
You liked it last year
When somebody else wrote it
Platinum, I wanna go platinum

Chaos In The U.S.A.
03:17

Damned if I do, damned if I don't
I work so hard I lost my job
I can't show my face at home
I can't afford insurance, I'm a walking heart attack
I feel the fear, stressing out, living life American
Chaos in the USA, we've broken down our Chevrolet
And now it's time for us to pay the piper
Chaos in the USA, the "big shot boys" have had their day
I'm sick and tired of dangling from their wire
Damned if I do, damned if I don't
I'm on my knees to find a job
Got this money 'round my throat
I need some information but you just can't trust the news
Our leaders are so two-faced, I'm getting screwed in stereo
Chaos in the USA, we've broken down our Chevrolet
Can anybody here change the tire?
Chaos in the USA, "big shot boys" have had their day
And mama said, "It's time to change the diaper!"
Chaos in the USA, we've broken down our Chevrolet
And now it's time for us to pay the piper
Chaos in the USA, the "big shot boys" have had their way
I'm sick and tired of dangling from their wire

Minor Seconds

Sorry for all the capital letters but I had no desire to retype this:
MINOR SECONDS ALL IT TAKES
ASLEEP IS DEATH, ALIVE AWAKE
CLOSE YOUR EYES, YOU FEEL NO BRAKE
ONLY FORWARD MOTION
MINOR SECONDS ALL IT TAKES
PINCH YOURSELF FOR GOODNESS SAKES
DO WHATEVER IT WILL TAKE
TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
FIGHT THE BLIND HYPNOTIC LIGHTS
AND THE DRONE OF THE WHITE LINES
TURN THE RADIO ON LOUDLY
SEE LIFE PASS BEFORE YOUR EYES
FEEL THE ONES YOU LEAVE BEHIND
REACHING OUT TO YOU TO HOLD ON
MINOR SECONDS ALL IT TAKES
ASLEEP IS DEATH, ALIVE AWAKE
FRAGILE CREATURES MAKE MISTAKES
IT ONLY TAKES ONE MOMENT
MINOR SECONDS ALL IT TAKES
THE GIFT OF LIFE SO EASY BREAKS
I HOPE THE LOVE WE GIVE WE TAKE
WHEREVER WE ARE GOING

Comfort Girl
06:56
|
|||
|
The sun crashes down upon me,
In fragments from the sky.
Daily I wonder, “Will I kill again?”
“Or will it be my turn to die?”
Grateful for diversion,
I endure this endless queue,
Just to spend some time with you.
When I first lay eyes upon you,
On your back and freshly trod.
You are staring through the ceiling
Into the eyes of God.
Urgently I mount you
And your soul makes its escape
Leaving just your body to rape.
Where did they find you Comfort Girl?
What furtile landscape did you roam?
What fortune did they promise?
That would tempt you from your home
And though they robbed you of your innocence
You are steadfast and serene,
And the closest thing to purity I’ve seen.
It’s not the best I’ve ever had.
It’s awkward and it’s strange.
But it sure as hell beats magazines.
This flesh and blood exchange.
I wonder what your thoughts are.
I nearly ask your name.
But I don’t care all the same.
Where did they find you Comfort Girl?
What furtile landscape did you roam?
What fortune did they promise?
That would tempt you from your home
And though they robbed you of your innocence
You are steadfast and serene,
And the closest thing to purity I’ve seen.
I promise I won’t take too long,
I’ve been at war for quite some time.
When I’m done I’ll leave you quietly
and inform the next in line.
Where did they find you Comfort Girl?
What furtile landscape did you roam?
What fortune did they promise?
That would tempt you from your home
And though they robbed you of your innocence
You are steadfast and serene,
And the closest thing to purity I’ve seen.

When I was a young boy
I wanted to sail around the world
That's the life for me
Living on the sea
Spirit of a sailor
Circumnavigates the globe
The lust of a pioneer
Will acknowledge no frontier
I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky
Lightning flash, tempers flare
'Round the horn if you dare
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Lucky just to keep afloat
Aotearoa
Rugged individual
Glisten like a pearl
At the bottom of the world
The tyranny of distance
Didn't stop the cavalier
So why should it stop me
I'll conquer and stay free
Ah, c'mon all you lads
Let's forget and forgive
There's a world to explore
Tales to tell back on shore
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Six months in a leaky boat
Ship-wrecked love can be cruel
Don't be fooled by her kind
There's a wind in my sails
Will protect and prevail
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Nothing to it leaky boat
