We all sit here, and discuss amongst ourselves Trivial suggestions to answer all our questions But here we sit, and here we sing We’re made to ponder each and every little thing And then the words you said they thought so profound The words you said, I’ve got written down The words you said they thought so profound The words you said, I could not read aloud It takes a blind eye to forget The angel upon your shoulder The pains of our misfortunes Crushed in to the mortar of our embrace I said I just miheard what you said I swear this problem it’s come between us I’m sorry like I said, but even A steady hand needs fair warning, needs fair warning. It takes a lifetime to forage The mysteries that enrage us The shiny rocks that engage us And the problems we leave in stages of trouble and disrepair The words you said I thought so profound Duly noted, maybe someday I will need to pull them out The words you said on unstable ground Duly noted, maybe someday I will need to pull them out How could you’ve known this is how I’d be found It’s down-times like these that I need to have you around I’ll remember this ‘til you’re back in town And cure my loneliness before I hit the ground I just misjudged what you said It came loud and clear this morning Like a boot-kick in the head, I realized The damage of my foreboding was well beyond repair

We turned each other out Out of comfort, without a doubt And we carried on without Without a thought, without you about And we laughed every time you cried Because you thought you were dyin’ Walking by yourself in the moonlight Shadows in the calm before the rain Midnight storm And so we sat trapped with each other With the storm outside our tent Found we were all in this together And you spoke a word I could understand Over the sound of the thunder’s crash Midnight storm

Slip 02:33
We staffed this place And drank so much I don’t think I can keep this pace Feeling down Knowin’ you won’t be wanderin’ around A final toast, To cheers our friends and this place where we make ammends So here’s a thought For you, and all of the wonderful things you do For me, but I’ve never told you So dry your eyes, and find a wqay that I can hold on to you Before you’re gone Like a missing link, like a ring down the sink somethings you’ll never find ‘Cause the good times fade so fast once you close your eyes But here we breathe, And here we speak about things that are only between you and me And so I think, to myself, when will I see your face again A tongue-tied thanks I’ll never tell you I’ll dry my eyes and find a way that I can hold on to you So you don’t slip away And I can pull you out on a rainy day

So sweet, like candy, so come on over soon So sweet like candy, I ain’t no love fool Sweet like candy, a trick or treat for two ‘Coz I’m sweet like candy, cause I’m in love with you ...Everyone I know is not in my basement.

Rust 05:54
If I ran in to you more than chance, I’d ask you out, we’d make some plans Let’s go dance But whe we dance, then we can’t talk I’ll think of a warm place we can walk My hand in yours But when I talk with you I’m dull No surprise you could never fall Head over heels So in darkness, life unfolds Outside this room, it’s very cold Too cold to listen And when I talk to myself, I’m dull When no one’s watching, maybe I’ll fall Out of the picture Chorus I know it’s up to me to say To myself why should I stay Bashing my head upon this wall Do I really deserve to be here at all Replace me with someone who cares An honest heart with lots to share While I am elsewhere And in my faith in you I trust, My memories will never rust ‘Cause I was never even there Chorus

John 02:44
I don’t understand your being here, you’re falling one by one Seeking out some new direction by which no one else has come I stray just wide of your perfection, that trail of thoughts undone As you spy with a beckoning eye for the evils yet to come This way, it’s different but I can’t try explaing to you So many things go wrong, but it’s a jaded point of view Two years pass and the passive laugh as the lines on your face deepen Stagnant years in a revolving door of passion and persuasion Who’d ever want that to travel along side? Your role has too many reason Too many reasons, you dug up Too many reasons for me to understand your ways- They’re different so there’s no use explaining to me This cancer spreads like wild fire to all thise in contact with me These days, they’re different but I can’t try explaining to you So many things go wrong, but it’s a jaded point of view

Fallen from the means he had before him Tried to do what everyone else had done It’s so hard to be new So he waited for the sky to fall upon him A star insofar, but no one cared It’s so hard to talk in travel With his gold band, on his stone hands He moves to tell her, but she slips away again The differences that rose to be barriers Surround him as he watched the fire light It’s so hard to do right T’was just a case of tainted memory His thought were all deranged and confused Now it’s so hard to undo Eatin’ donairs, missing long hair Says, “I can’t wait to see her, but I’m down and out again”.

I dreamt of a picture just you and me Surrounded, the trees blown down like grass, where I’d find you waiting for, the colours drained of dirt, the earth sank down Along the doorstep, moving twice as fast and farther than before The frame of reference falls subconscious of her mind I’d give you a line - underfed and overslept, I know You’d find me waiting there, but difficult to know I dreamt a picture, the streets a fire The path, clogged, burning tpwards the fields The flare of lights beheld, in brilliant disarm, quickly Smearing all the colours that you’d gathered from the ground the day before I’m on the doorstep where the earth has sunken down, but It’s full-proof...You’re fading away again Into the Dacre room...These malladies forming as I’d remember too...These thoughts escape you now When you’re lonely The coalman’s scraping beneath the surface The candle light shed on the purpose The shoes he’s worn are thin with years Sweating black amongst the tears The canary was released today The mine was closed for good The redundance of a newer world But how were they to know? Sunlight soon fades out, the blanket warms, the fire burns...

Forevermore 01:48
Sang along to all the words, we've had the best there is It's been, a short four years So what when I wake up in our empty house and you're not here When I'm only wanting you To be here, entirely I wish that you could Relive this time with you, I would When I leave for the southern shore The nest that I have flown you've been with me before And shine on me when I'm caught alone You are all a part of me forevermore

about

Originally recorded and mixed on a Yamaha MD8 digital multitrack recorder in my parent's basement over 5 days in the late fall of 1998, the version here was remixed by me and Zane Whitfield at North of Princess studios in Kingston, Ontario in December of 2012...And now this collection of old tunes is sonically stable enough to be put to rest...

For more information on the origins of the record, see the back cover!
