Patchouli

Well, she's into mandalas and eastern religion
And the one thing she's plagued with is indecision
And she rides on the summer breeze
And she only takes what she needs
Living a life so free that everybody else is too scared to lead
And she smells like patchouli and Northfield lights
And she's keeping me warm on these winter nights
She'll be gone in the morning, but she stays in my memory
As the smell of patchouli
The smell of patchouli
Well, she's got no good reason to stay in this rainy town
Cause she follows the seasons, she follows the summer down
And she longs for the emerald seas and the sun shining through the trees
Waiting so patiently to feast her eyes on something that she hasn't seen
And she smells like patchouli and Northfield lights
And she's keeping me warm on these winter nights
She'll be gone in the morning, but she stays in my memory
As the smell of patchouli
The smell of patchouli
Love her while you can cause you might never get the chance to say goodbye
She don't need anyone by her side
She flies by night, let her out of your sight
And she'll find someone else to believe in
Turn around and she's leaving
And she smells like patchouli and Northfield lights
And she's keeping me warm on these winter nights
She'll be gone in the morning, but she stays in my memory
As the smell of patchouli
The smell of patchouli

Cancer
03:54

Well, I guess she’s gone
And I guess the second time was the charm
Every time we fall apart
We go back to the start again
This time, there’s conditions
But something is missing, oh no
I couldn’t promise much to you
Knew we’d never say ‘I Do’
Should I buy flowers and bring them to your door?
Could we please just enjoy this without it being more?
‘Cause i’m not ready for love
And push has come to shove
I don’t need you answer
Guess I was the cancer
Growing on what’s left of us again
Well, I guess she’s pretty
And the deal is shitty, I know
Sorry that I’m letting go
I’m heartbroken even so
Wish we could stay friendly
But for our sake I just don’t think thats right
You know I love to change my mind
But I won’t back down this time
Should I buy flowers and bring them to your door?
Could we please just enjoy this without it being more?
‘Cause i’m not ready for love
And push has come to shove
I don’t need you answer
Guess I was the cancer
Growing on what’s left of us again
Is this another love I’ve sabotaged?
Or was this sea of loving really a mirage?
If I see you in the street
Our eyes will never meet
Here’s a lesson to be learned
A barrage of calls won’t be returned
Sorry you had to get burned again
Should I buy flowers and bring them to your door?
Could we please just enjoy this without it being more?
‘Cause i’m not ready for love
And push has come to shove
I don’t need you answer
Guess I was the cancer
Growing on what’s left of us again

Highest Shelf
03:55
|

I could say I’m sorry
Eat every single word
If I’m here tomorrow
It ain’t the worst you’ve heard
You can take the box down
From the highest
You can drink the potion
Don’t take it all for yourself
Oh yeah
You don’t know what you’re doing to me
Oh yeah
Why do we love like this?
If that’s what you think it is
Cause it’s not right to be living a lie
And it hurts because it’s true
If it don’t come easy
And you don’t believe me
Then I ain’t got much to say to you
I could take you with me
Everywhere I go
If you needed something
I’d be the first to know
You can take the box down
Off of the highest shelf
You can drink the potion
Don’t take it all for yourself
Oh yeah
You don’t know what you’re doing to me
Oh yeah
Why do we love like this?
If that’s what you think it is
Cause it’s not right to be living a lie
And it hurts because it’s true
If it don’t come easy
And you don’t believe me
Then I ain’t got much to say to you

Many will come into the world today
Many will come into the world
And some will draw their final breath
To make room for the boys and girls
Many will go back to the earth today
Many will go back to the earth
Born to complete this circle of life
They took it for what it’s worth
And may that circle be unbroken
One door closes, another one opens
Whatever has been left unspoken
Has a new chance to be said today
I think I’ll stay in my bed today
Lay down
Lay down my weary head
Many will come into their own today
Many will come into their own
Blindly walk towards the light
And into the great unknown
Many will go back on their word today
Many will go back on their word
Mouth their thoughts so silently
So that none of them will be heard
They won’t last once the torch is passed
A stone is cast into the sea
Staring down at your empty hands
Asking ‘what did you leave for me, my friend?’
It’s far too late to be playing pretend with me
Are you too blind to see?
Lay down your weary head
Many will, many will come into the world today
Many will, many will come into the world today
Many will, many will come into the world today
Many will, many will come into the world today

Keep Talking
03:01
|
|||
I do best with my mouth closed
So that nobody will know
All the pain I hold inside
Gotta hide
Gotta hide
Don’t think I don’t want you around
Until the day that my strength is found
Till it’s found
Keep talking about the things you like
I’ll pay a visit to my psych
Anyways searching in my mind
For a peace I’ll never find
Tell me will I ever change?
Ever change
Ever change
I’m hiding it under a smile
But I’m thinking it might take a while
Take a while
Keep talking about the things you do
I’d be happier if I were you
Keep talking about the things you need
At least you got your sanity

If time is money, could you spare a dime for my fund?
Under the mattress, hid away from everyone
Another year has passed, a sinking sun to the west
If I was honest, I’d have said I tried my best
Now is the winter of our discontent
At the eleventh hour to repent
But don’t worry boy, your time just hasn’t come yet
If strong is silent, why’s that type no good anymore?
Give your opinion, or they’ll show you your way to the door
‘Sharing is caring’ is great, if you’ve got extra to give
Accepting charity is not the way that I live
Now is the winter of our discontent
At the eleventh hour to repent
But don’t worry boy, your time just hasn’t come yet
But I’ve seen the telltale signs
And I’ve read between the lines
Tried to walk the path of the divine
To no avail
Oh, no avail
No avail, no avail
Now is the winter of our discontent
At the eleventh hour to repent
But don’t worry boy, your time just hasn’t come yet

Simple Life
04:00
|

Ain’t it good to know we’re all just fools in love?
Ain’t it good to know it’s just a game?
When it all comes crashing down
There’s somebody else to blame
Ain’t it a relief that it won’t last too long?
Aren’t you overjoyed our days are few?
Can’t you feel that raging flame
Burning under your backside like I do?
Why do you think I’m gonna care for you?
I can barely look after myself
I’m a little bit scared of you
And I’m probably bad for you health
Girl, we only got so much time
Is it really such a crime to want a simple life?
It’s a simple life
Ain’t it good to know that it’s an evil world?
Might as well get up and join the fun
Abandon all hope for humanity
And stake out your place in the sun
What’s the use in clinging to this stupid scene?
Tell me, what’s the point of feeling blue?
Suiting up in Sunday best
For a ride down the avenue
Why do you think I’m gonna care for you?
I can barely look after myself
I’m a little bit scared of you
And I’m probably bad for you health
Girl, we only got so much time
Is it really such a crime to want a simple life?
It’s a simple life
It’s a simple life
Why do you think I’m gonna care for you?
I can barely look after myself
I’m a little bit scared of you
And I’m probably bad for you health
Girl, we only got so much time
Is it really such a crime to want a simple life?
Ain’t it good to know the answer?
Fools in love

She's Loved
03:15
|

I confess she’s loved
She’s the only one I’m thinking of
I would be a fool to ever let her go
I’ve been around
I’m alone and sad
My intentions really aren’t that bad
Why you call me over just to bring you down
I’ll never know
She’s in love
Only for the second time
Baby, for right now that’s fine
Got this weight on your shoulders I’ll help you to carry
If you carry mine
She’s in love
For the second time around
Only one I’ve ever found
When I go off the rails, yeah
She never fails to put me back on the ground
I’m a mess like you
She ain’t happy with the shit I do
Long as I still love you why do you care
If I mess around
But it’s strange to me
If I’m happy with my little B
Why am I so afraid of ever settling down?
She’s in love
Only for the second time
Baby, for right now that’s fine
Got this weight on your shoulders I’ll help you to carry
If you carry mine
She’s in love
For the second time around
Only one I’ve ever found
When I go off the rails, yeah
She never fails to put me back on the ground

Easy

Baby, we’re young and afraid and forgotten
You know we’re allowed to fall
And I’ll be your man
Reach for my hand if you do
Riding the tide is alright in this life
The universe cares for her own
Yeah, but you don’t understand
She’s got it all planned out for you
So give me my golden crown
Every day the sun comes shining down
If you want to you can stick around
Baby you just don’t realize
We got it so damn easy now
The older you’re getting
The less that you care
You’re coming into your own
And it don’t bother me if I might not be the same
No need to try all that hard anymore
We’ve got everything that we need
And if you don’t need much
You’re way ahead of the game
So give me my golden crown
Every day the sun comes shining down
If you want to you can stick around
Baby you just don’t realize
We got it so damn easy now
Now
Now

I don’t have the right
To complain much about this life
Taking every day in stride
Is it worth living?
And when I feel this way
They convince me I’m OK
But on the judgement day
I won’t be forgiven
Maybe I just think too much
Always feel like I’m in a rush
Ass-backwards and out of touch
And unusual
Unusual
Let it go
Let it fall right to the ground
Everything that’s lost can still be found
And everything is alright
Maybe someday I’ll be proud
Of being unusual
Unusual
Unusual
If we took our daily trials
Threw them all in one big pile
Took someone else’s for a while
To see what they’re hiding
I’d probably want mine back
And hopefully I’d find
That i’m not too out of line
I can let those colours shine
Maybe I just think too much
Always feel like I’m in a rush
Ass-backwards and out of touch
And unusual
Unusual
Let it go
Let it fall right to the ground
Everything that’s lost can still be found
And everything is alright
Maybe someday I’ll be proud
Of being unusual
Unusual
