In the Sun (free) 06:19
From the first, I saw A moment that never was It had meaning for us both Snatched up in the mighty jaws Leary had the fatal flaw I bought a golden calf I shipped it over to your dorm Or did you call it your old flat? [Chorus]: We were oh so fine In the sun, in the sun We will get there in due time In the sun, in the sun The lady that lives next door Told me not to flee "I know that she'll say, 'no'" "She will teach you how to be free" In the park that same day I saw the leaves walk in the rain Afraid of heights, afraid of falling down I asked her if you were okay [Chorus] I hope you'll love me as I love you Her hair had changed with the leaves (with the leaves) But her eyes stayed the same (the exact same) When she looked up at me I really felt okay [Chorus] I hope you'll love me as I love you

Medals (free) 04:20
Walk through the stacks Bow your wee head Don't turn your back The rotten past is dead My life is good But ours would be better If you'd be willing To stop by and borrow my sweaters [Chorus]: A life of Misfortune Constant bad luck For these two Medals I'll become a monk We got moving quickly No room for complaints I tried to save thee No need for a saint I know life is torture I tried to pull you through Exchange it for a letter Edited just for you Public scenes I can't mind All I ever wanted to do Now we do it all the time I couldn't have found a ruby Quite as shiny as you I love love love you dearly I have all the time to prove it [Chorus] I'll become a monk

Untitled for No Reason (free) 03:46
Maybe we got a little off track From here on out, there's no turning back You know I hate it when you look at me like that Break my heart and I'll break yours back [Chorus]: The roads I've crossed are all made of bricks and stones I've crossed them all to get somewhere so they'd lead me back home Sitting, writing, and waiting to die in my room alone Don't answer the phone, stay in the yard and be on your own You wanted me but now you don't Your so-called, "love" it was a joke Don't come asking me to atone for your bad back Break my heart and I'll break yours back [Chorus] What's this life that we are living? I know you're scared, oh I know you're chicken You were taught to never ever give in But where does that leave us now? Pretty soon, you'll be alone on your own I'll give you some time to catch up on your soaps For me, I won't be lounging in bath robes I'm just going to be me Whatever the fuck that means

A whole year of fun Stupendously enjoying you, going numb My love would stick out like a sore thumb Behind it lied the grey mentality of one When dreams approach You have but one chance To turn this lost boy Into a found man Well, you know he's got The grandest of plans And I'll just sit here Eating peas straight out of the can [Chorus]:I never was scared Of my feelings taking control Of my life New doubts have arisen The circumstance has given Us the right to stand out So tell the whole world what my whole fuss is about "So how've you been?" I asked her over dm "I'm just with some friends I don't know, I don't know where to begin Has that land given you all you asked for Or have you failed?" "You can cut my success with a knife like butter I'll send a piece of it to you in the mail" [Chorus] Love is a tricky thing No one knows quite what it will bring Sometimes joy Often times pain Everyone needs to be truly insane At least once in their lives

Then, He Was Cured! (free) 05:08
Those were the worst winters of my entire life I spent them desolate and alone Plotting to kill myself Each and every night Even in my room, I was not at home [Chorus]:Poor souls roam around me Lost in forbidden patterns and shapes Although depression makes me not see I believe I found an escape Get away, get away and flow to your own Way of living, way of libing now What can you show? [Chorus] I will only see it before it is gone
6.
Banana Split (free) 02:47
I don't have feelings for you I know that you want me to I run away, you try to stay In my home with all of my food You're listening to lies Working overtime for men's eyes You bend on down, try to turn them 'round You're gonna meet your demise [Chorus]: But this white collar won't stain When it is laced with money She's going to tie their bonds Before they get married Hold on Why would she take the road to Hell? Can't she move on As he does as well? The path I take is long Over dog poop on their lawns The children come, they all want some It's a Charleswood deer's fawn I've played your games They drove me insane I tried and tried but you denied That it was all okay You let it go too soon Tried to get it back, boo hoo Now it's all up to you I'm 17 but I feel 42 [Chorus]

Catalogue (free) 05:57
When I was young I looked for love Yet I found none When I found some It wasn't much fun Yeah I was better off with no one Then one girl came to me We met in my dreams At a show in the city "Would you like to see My apartment?" And then he Climbed on up there for some tea [Chorus]: Oh, she's so pretty On a scale of one to ten, she's a fifty Jiggity along, jiggity Do a little dance, celebrate because She's really with me Outside it's warm I feel a coming storm The rain, bring it on I won't even put my poncho on The heat, it makes me weak I feel my balls are stickin' to the bus seat I wonder what the stranger girl thinks of me C'mon now, don't be silly [Chorus] Which one will I choose? It's my mind and my heart to loose This leather hide, it rarely forms a bruise Waves on waves on grooves on grooves
