SEASHELLS (by Jason)
Gathering seashells
in our private hells
while the gulls wheel above
fear the antithesis of love
savage age that we are
we cannot take it too far
uselessness of ice cream
to the emperor of wet dreams
awkwardness
on not giving you a kiss
and thinking about what you might be thinking
x2
the feeling lost in your limbs
your mama bought you horn-rims
priceless telephone call
in the hollowness of the mall
like a boulder it stands
and with a touch from my hand
could avalanche into bliss
but we're not old enough for this
awkwardness
on not giving you a kiss
and thinking about what you might be thinking
x4
now you're five states away
a postcard unsent lays there
you have discovered true bliss
beneath another's longer hair
-------------------------
MAPS (by Jason)
a shy showing
done well, can't you tell
a fire glowing
as well, hickory smell
an ale pouring
heartfelt words overheard
your eyes boring
holes in my heart as the next year starts
a plan hatching
done well, can't you tell
wooden door latching
as well, hickory smell
secret sharing
heartfelt words overheard
bickering tearing
holes in my heart as the next year starts
something
we have something
a game with rules
a box of jewels
something more
we'll have something more
when we go home again
when we count to ten
family feeling
at last, don't take it too fast
pain healing
new friends as your wound mends
with toys playing
we laugh with her other half
up late staying
like you, but just a bit blue
picture comparing
at last, don't take it too fast
story sharing
new friends as your wound mends
music playing
we laugh with her other half
finally knowing
like you, but just a bit blue
keep looking
x3
even though you don't know
what thing you're looking for
something
we have something
a game with rules
a box of jewels
something more
we'll have something more
when we go home again
when we count to ten

EPISTEMOLOGY (by M. Ward)
I was raised in a Catholic school, learned who to fire with and pray to
I learned how to hold on from a book of old psalms
And if you're trying to sing an old song and you're getting all the words wrong
Well, you're just a-following along too closely in the book
I learned how to keep my head from something Paul said
About keeping the fruit in the spirit from the chorus down to the hook
And sometimes I wonder what in God's name did I do to deserve you
Oh, to deserve you
Cause I just rolled and I tumbled, down a long road, I stumbled
While shooting in the dark as to what's best
And finally, I found you
Without ever learning how to
I put the right foot in front of the leg
And beyond that is anybody's guess
I learned how to keep my head from something Paul said
About keeping the fruit in the spirit from the chorus down to the hook
Oh, and sometimes I wonder what in God's name did I do to deserve you
Oh, to deserve you
Cause I just rolled and I tumbled, down a long road, I stumbled
While shooting in the dark as to what's best
And finally, I found you without ever learning how to
I put the right foot in front of the leg
Cause I just rolled and I tumbled, down a long road, I stumbled
While shooting in the dark as to what's best
Oh, as to what's best, as to what's best
And finally, I found you
Without ever learning how to
I put the right foot in front of the leg
And beyond that is anybody's guess
-------------------------
I FOUND THE F (by Broadcast)
I found the fragrance separate from the flower
In all the logic I was lost
I found the fair light blossom to be sour
And beneath the soil the real cost
You came to me carelessly
I am iris and the lense
The bridge adjusting to the water water water water
The level inside will rise
A fallen monument lies
A prism is only walls
My arms will not be bars
The well now is your support
In autosuggested pathways you are caught
You came to me carelessly
I am iris and the lense
The bridge adjusting to the water water water water
The level inside will rise
A fallen monument lies
-------------------------
VOICES INSIDE MY HEAD (by The Police)
(obvious)
-------------------------
ALMOST CUT MY HAIR (by CSNY)
Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It was getting kind of long
I could have said it was in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it to someone
Must be because I had the flu for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking into a mirror and seeing a police car
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear
Cos I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone
When I finally get myself together
I'm gonna get down in some of that sweet summer weather
I'm going to find a space inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff
Cos I feel like I owe it, yeah
Said I feel like I owe it, yeah
You know I feel---- like I owe it yeah to someone
