First Love
04:34
|
|||
My face, long from a hard day, Brown eyes and no shave, just as you like it
Then your gaze, catches me mid-phase, Looking at your hair, it’s just as I like it
Verse
Now we are, becoming much older, Some scars on our shoulders, but ever as strong
The truth is, young love is fleeting, but it’s always the reason, for trying againnnnn!
I remember you, I remember you first love
And we haven’t changed
I remember you I remember you first love
forever and always
I remember you, I remember you first love
Every single day
This is me, thinking of you my love
Way back to, way back to the day
This feeling, This fictional feeling - Don’t wait for me - Don’t wait for me
It’s you babe, your happiness never needed to end
I remember you, I remember you first love
Forever and always
This is me, thinking of you first love
Way back to the day
Love makes light of an old flame
No darkness here no storm drain
Yet no fairytale end
But only love as a real thing
Our tangible healing
That only it mends
We never get older, We only stronger
We never get colder, We only get warmer
We never get older, We only get younger
This mark on my shoulder, Will haunt me no longer
I remember you, I remember you first love
And we haven’t changed
I remember you I remember you first love
Every Single Day
I remember you I remember you first love
forever and always

Stand In Son

Hey everybody come and lend me your ear
You know the future is uncertain and the end is near
The third world war is coming run as fast as you can
It's climbing in your window snatching every woman and man
I grew up in the church, Momma taught me well
Gave me what people call a passion or can't you tell
But i ain't no jesus christ, for yes I’ve sinned
But God sent me a letter and this is what it read
(It read) I'm going to take this, just as far as I can
The whole damn planet is run by cold blooded man
So take this message as a final resort
Good luck fair warning, signed your savior and lord
G.O.D. is a radio station, playing in my brain
I'm a human antenna, or I’m clinically insane
Now G.O.D. ain't some bearded, all powerful all knowing man
Its nation from another world, and were screwing up the plan
(It read) I'm going to take this, just as far as I can
The whole damn planet is run by cold blooded man
So take this message as a final resort
Good luck fair warning, signed your savior and lord
I don't want your blessing I don't want reward
I don't want to criticize you even though you're at war
I don't want to know what your explanation is
I don't want to stop you all from having ten billion kids
But I am giving you a message that you can all understand
My father's name is David and I'm standing in as the son of man

Mississippi

Jesus wasn’t born in Mississippi, he was born in the palm of god's hand
he died and he rose into the ether, he said he would be coming again
Well I don’t know if I was dreaming, but something woke me out of a sleep
With a crash of drums and a loud guitar, this is the sound of the second coming
Well you’ve been off and on with me, you’ve been all alone
You never even believed in me, you’ve been bought and sold
So here’s your final offer man, here’s your second chance
Help me send this message and I’ll, give you love at last
It’s coming round the corner, sneaking in your head
It’s coming when lights go out and the town is dark
So turn on tune up, the metaphors are in the book
and my voice is coming out, of nowhere
(so here’s how it all happened)
“They” came and spoke to me, now I’ve a message
Told all the city folk, but they wouldn’t listen
I went to the river, and ruptured the oceans
Loud is the devil but, golden is devotion - yeaHHH!!!!

Steal Your Hand
03:10
|
|||
To your friends and family, whom on this great day we are overwhelmed to be seeing
and to those who attest, speak now or forever hold your peace.
Now wait a second I got something to say
I’ve known the bride in a biblical way
her hair was different but her lips were the same
I won’t allow these two be married today
She made a promise to me when we were young
but then she left me in a pit full of scum
so there I was just a pitiful man
and now I’ve made it here to steal forth her hand
You were always mine, and I was always yours babay
You were always mine, and I was always yours
You could walk away tonight, and leave this poor man
Walk away tonight and I’ll, steal your hand - Yeah!!!
Now wait a second said the groom and his men
As they surrounded me with belts in their hands
You must be looking for a beating my friend
You interrupt us at the altar again
Now honey tell this man to be on his way
She looked at him with a devious face
Then through the aisle as he begged her to stay
she looked at me and she started to say
You were always mine, and I was always yours babay
You were always mine, and I was always yours
You could walk away tonight, and leave this poor man
Walk away tonight and I’ll, steal your hand - Yeah!!!
You were always mine, and I was always yours babay
You were always mine, and I was always yours
You could walk away tonight, and leave this poor man
Walk away tonight and I’ll, steal your hand - Yeah!!!

See Your Soul
03:05
|
|||
Hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone else
Hold yourself like you hold a candle and never in, Never in the darkness will you dwell
Hold the rope for me while I climb into this well
This is the life we live and in life I want to defend myself
So if you need someone here to defend you, well come on in and please do tell
This is a life of give and take I want to live free and well
So if the conversation dries on up, turn the lights off and put me
Put me in your spell
‘Cause i see your soul
You make me feel like I am 20 years old
I see your soul, girl
If my calculations are right and the sun is setting in the sky
The final lunar orbit and all the tidal waves are an oversight
There is a light we see and you know that when the time is right
Heaven takes us home where we ever roam and all the angels sings at night
I see your soul!
You make me feel like I am 20 years old
I see your soul, girl
You make me feel like I am 20 years old
This is a message to all the people tryin to do something right
And even if we get it wrong we know in the end, the sun do shine
Our faith is leverage not in the sense that we need to overcome
But only in a way where we can be free to find
I see your soul!
You make me feel like I am 20 years old
I see your soul, girl
You make me feel like I am 20 years old

Tired of Walking
03:58
|
|||
Well I’m tired of walking
And I’m feeling let down
‘Cause the road to your place
Got me running A-round
And I’m tired of this game
‘Cause I never win
While you take and you steal
All my innocence
Well the demons they howl
And they hide their face
Because they want my blood
But they know I’ll stay
Where the blind men walk
And the people pray
For the love they’ve lost
In this wretched day
Well how long
Will I have to wait
How long?
Will they stand in my way
Well they’ve singled me out as a faithful man
But my real desire is a simple plan
For the love that you felt as a little child
To be the truth you find when we’re getting wild
There is nothing new
There is nothing old
There is only us and our heavy load
If my father’s there
Then he best be aware
There is too much blood in our current affair
Well how long
Will I have to wait?
How long
Will these demons stray?
Well I’m all in my head
I need talking down
If this little white pill that I put in my mouth
Doesn’t calm these nerves
I’ll expel this scowl
I need something way stronger please
Oh Mr. Brown
Well I’m tired of walking
And I need to lie down
‘Cause the game in my head
Got me running A-round
If it’s me that you love babe
Then tell me now
Or I’ll get in my car
And I’ll smoke this town
Well how long
Will I be this way?
How long
‘Til I find my place
How long
Will they stand in my way
How long
Will these demons stray
Stray
Stray

White Walls
03:52
|
|||
Well I’ll paint these white walls
With the blood on my hands
And I’ll lock this house up
so they never find them
With my demons all killed
and locked in the basement
I’ll never come home
I must escape them
Lord lift me up, from the hell I come from
Lord lift me up, to the well of stardom
Lord lift me up, if you ever had love for me
Or give me up, to the devil's army
Well I’ve never claimed God
As a reason I live
But I’ll give you more love
In a night than Jesus
With my pagan hands up
Doing hallelujah
I’ll knock this house down
Then I’ll Sunday school ya
Lord lift me up, from the hell I come from
Lord lift me up, to the well of stardom
Lord lift me up, if you ever had love for me
Or give me up, to the devil's army

Hang Me Up
03:01
|
|||
Hang me up, hang me up now, hang me up
Just a minute while she’s getting ready
I lay in bed and put the TV on, yeah
I don’t mind it when she puts her makeup on
But I’ll give to her when it’s off, oo yeahh
Up the stairs into her tiny apartment
Her little dog is waiting for me up there
I can hear her getting ready in the bathroom
She can hear me at the top of the stairs
Hang me up, hang me up now....Hang me UP!
I don’t even want to go to the party
you look too good to even leave this couch
We could stay and have our own little party
You could tell me I’m the only man for you
And you need me now, need me now…
Well I don’t care, I don’t care
If we ever leave this town
If we ever leave this house
so Hang me up, hang me up now, hang me UP!
I’m a beacon for the brokenhearted
I’m a reason to escape this town
I’m a preacher of the dear departed
She’s the reason I’m a dreamer now
Hang me up, hang me up now…
Well I don’t care, I don’t care
If we ever leave this town
If we ever leave this house
So hang me up, hang me up now… hang me UP! HANG ME UP! HANG ME UP! HANG ME UP!

Heaven

Bill, your father taught you well
Left you a mother with a, mind strong as silver and a
Heart big as thunder in the distant snowy mountains of the west
Oh, I know you miss your father, but he gave you the life you have
He was a good man
Dave, your mother taught you well
Left you a father, now you’re good at holding onto all
the things in life your family needs
and soon your soon will bring you steady wealth
Oh, I know you miss your mother, but she made you a noble man
Faith, your son he loved you so
Though it was tragic in the
highest realm of heaven he’ll remain
until you’ve joined him
Never missed a beat, you will be free
You will be free
Oh I know you miss your son, but I think that he fell in love
Up there….
He was flying real low, over golden streets
She was walking along, singing a tune when as fate would have it
The two turned into magic, their eyes locked and then they fell in love
He kissed her sweet
Oh, don’t you know that angels, fall in love just as much, as you and me
Say, that neighbor you know well?
She lost her daughter, now she’s an angel up in heaven
and guess who she’s in love with, all the stars from up above
She loves your son
She loves your son
Oh, I know you miss your daughter, but she’s in love with an angel man
an angel man
Oh I know you miss ‘em all, but I think you will meet again.
