Master of One

Been carrying this case everyday
The edges are starting to fray
The contents cosmetic, have nothing to say
But you’re not gonna throw it away
We warm our toes on the beach
Nothing around us but aquamarine
And defying all reason you get up to leave
I’ll leave it to you to know what you need
You can call me wrong, you can call me right
You can call me anytime you like
There’s a life lived on the run
When you’re a Jack of all trades man
But a master of one
Images flash on a screen
Kaleidoscope smiles and Cellophane dreams
A life in reverse, you can paint what you mean
Reality is never as it seems
And there is a passage that reads
The bite by the poison’s the nicest to eat
So I understand when you get up to leave
I’ll leave it to you to know what you need
You can call me wrong, you can call me right
You can call me anytime you like
There’s a life lived on the run
When you’re a Jack of all trades man
But a master of one
You can call me wrong, you can call me right
You can call me anytime you like
There’s a life lived on the run
When you’re a Jack of all trades man
But a master of one
When you’re a Jack of all trades man
But a master of one
When you’re a Jack of all trades man
But a master of one

Santa Maria

Santa Maria don’t let me down
I’ve not walked for miles to fail in this town
My bones are aching as I kneel on the ground
Santa Maria don’t let me down
In San Pedro Sula, the streets have no soul
They peppered my walls with 10 bullet holes
But i know that no one has a heart made of stone
Santa Maria, don't send me back home
I started with strangers, now brothers in blood
We passed through the rainstorms, heat and the mud
My baby's gone quiet which scares me the most
I pray to you Mary, Father, Son and the Ghost
Santa Maria, give me the strength
So that my daughter has someone to thank
For knowing the home of the free and the brave
I'm begging you Mary, I’m calling your name
My bones are aching as I kneel on the ground
Santa Maria, don't let me down
Santa Maria, don't let me down

The Bottom
03:12
|
|||
Every morning there’s a million little pieces
Laid out where you fell asleep
Every moment takes a little bit more coaxing
To get you back up on your feet
Well I’ll meet you back down
At the bottom
And I’ll bring all the help that I can
I’ll meet you down at the bottom my friend
Watch it trickle down into a little puddle
From a trouble that will drip until it’s done
A puddle we can muddle through or even walk around
The trick is wading through the ocean it becomes
And I’ll meet you back down
At the bottom
And I’ll bring all the help that I can
I’ll meet you down at the bottom my friend
Soon as we give this thing a name
I will be lacing up my skates
Soon as we give this thing a name
From here on out it’s icy lakes
Now you’re on this road there’s only two ways you can go
The first, walk down with dignity, head clear
Otherwise you can be dragged down it
Digging in your heels
But down it you must go my dear
Well I’ll meet you back down
At the bottom
And I’ll bring all the help that I can
I’ll meet you down at the bottom my friend
Said I’ll meet you back down
At the bottom
And I’ll bring all the help that I can
I’ll meet you down at the bottom my friend
At the bottom my friend
At the bottom my friend

The Party's Over
03:20

Looking left to right
Seems too good to be true
This leash was on too tight
A little leeway’s long overdue
All they understand
Are the backs of their own hands
Fashionably wrought
Not a sole original thought
Now the party’s over
Pour a quiet drink
If you can taste tomorrow
Who cares what they think
What they think
Living like a priest
Mischief at an arm’s reach
Keep that head on straight
Count the hours ‘til you break free
Mix with liquid silver
It’s broken by design
The future is in colour leave those
Silent pictures behind
Now the party’s over
Pour a quiet drink
If you can taste tomorrow
Who cares what they think
What they think
Looking left to right
Seems too good to be true
This leash was on too tight
A little leeway’s long overdue
Overdue
Overdue

Belly of the Bardo
04:07
|
|||
We could be this open all the time
Laying on a major fault line
With the fragile shape of life
On our minds, on our minds
Must we wait until the aircraft shakes
Looking down over the city, the icy lake
When ‘later’ is a luxury
We’d all take, we’d all take
Each day a little more removed
From the belly of the Bardo and its simple truths
Somehow feeling free while feeling guilty too
Just let it dim we’ll find light from within
Try and let it be a gift
Silence can make these sounds more vivid
Because every other way to look at it
Will pull you down, pull you down
A pause that makes our movements clear
An end that makes the now more near
When what matters most has just disappeared
There nothing to left to lose
There’s nothing to fear
Each day a little more removed
From the belly of the Bardo and its simple truths
Somehow feeling fooled while feeling lucky too
Just let it dim we’ll find light from within

The Angels' Share
04:20
|
|||
When the dusk doesn’t feel like it used to
Ever door ajar with possibility
Every bar another chance to meet a girl
Have a dance, spend the night
Where the rent’s always free
When the lights turn from neon to dayglo
And the taxis all drive back to Queens
When you measure the cost of the years you have lost
Being tied down to some kind of dream
Well hey,
It’s not just you
I miss the mystery too
Buyer beware
This is The Angels’ Share
When your demons begin to grow restless
And coo in your ear what is due
You measure the past from the end of a glass
While the weight of each moment accrues
Well hey,
It’s not just you
I miss the mystery too
Buyer beware
This is The Angels’ Share
It’s not just you
I miss the mystery too
Buyer beware
This is The Angels’ Share
And oh
I’m just like you
I can be dangerous too
Buyer beware
This is The Angels’ Share

Tell me all your wants
Tell me all your needs
Show me where it hurts you
Point to where it bleeds
And I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try
To nurse all of your needs
But if you don’t let me fix myself
I’m not gonna be of too much help you see
Josephine, Josephine
It was a 3 alarm fire
I barely got away clean
and I don’t wanna play the victim
but I’m still soaking in kerosene
And I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try
To give you all of me
But if you don’t let me fix myself
You might as well be with someone else
Josephine, Josephine
ooh, ooh
Maybe I’m a broken record
But you’re a cheap cd
I keep on spinning the same song
But you’re becoming obsolete
Still I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try
But I feel asleep
But if you don’t let me fix myself
I’m no better than the ragdoll on your shelf you see
Josephine
Said if you don’t let me fix myself
You might as well be with someone else you see
Josephine
Said if you don’t let me fix myself
I’m not gonna be of too much help you see
Josephine
ooh, ooh

Devil Winds
03:54
|
|||
The Santa Ana winds are coming round again
And I can hardly get home fast enough
The shape that I am in, I surely need a friend
And you’re the only one I’m thinking of
Strange it begins a tickle on the skin
Before it drives a desert raving mad
Baricade the thought, mercy from within,
Don’t let it be the only one you have
Oh these fires are burning
Like old San Gabriel’s hills
These flames they’re not discerning
They’ll take the innocent
Breathe in breathe out the yellow in the air
Before the experts even call it’s name
Powerless we wait, a wooden garden gate
Stands no change against the hurricane
Some they even claim it’s all a source for good
A purifying quench of thrilling thirst
So maybe you could say once havoc had it’s way
To know the cleanse, you had to know the ills first
And oh these fires are burning
Like old San Gabriel’s hills
These flames they’re not discerning
They’ll take the innocent
But you and I
We dive in to the ocean
Polish our sins
You tell me I’m wild like those Devil Winds
The Santa Ana winds are coming round again
And I can hardly get home fast enough
The shape that I am in I surely need a friend
And you’re the only one I’m thinking of
And you’re the only one I’m thinking of

By The Sea
03:43
|

Let’s take another ride, let’s drive, let’s go
Let’s take another route this ones too slow
Feeling we’ve been cooped up far too long
Feeling that itch feeling ready to roam
Feeling ready to call some new place home
New place home
We can wage a war on this wasteful time
Youth if full of fight but she’s not on our side
What the hell are we still doing here
Staring at the wall drinking too many beers
Waiting for the light to disappear
Disappear
Let’s take another chance on the winds of change
If this is all there is why not grab it by the reins
Standing here waiting for our luck to roll in
Is saying we aint got what it takes to win
Its time to count our chips and cash them in
Cash ‘em in
Thinking of a bench in Cefalu
Second from the left with a postcard view
You carved in our initials with a hotel key
Squinted at the sun and you smiled at me
Know we'll always have a place by the sea
By The Sea
We tell ourselves stories in order to live
We agree to give and to give to give
Clamour for objects to own
Collect them ‘til we grow old
But all we need is just you and me
So no matter where we are
We have a home
We have a home

Can't Take It with You
02:39
|
|||
A two-story house
On a quiet street
A job with a suit and a tie
Saving our pay for some rainy day
Cause you cant take it with you but lord knows we try
Craning our necks for life's small regrets
Did we get our piece of the pie
Toil away all the livelong day
Cause you can’t take it with you but lord knows we try
And if we only see what we need
It’ll never be enough
Cause all you can hold on the day you go is love, love, love
If you keep me laughing til some ripe old age
If i carry on by your side
We’d have to say that we did it right
Cause you can’t take it with you but lord knows we try
Cause you, can’t take it with you but lord knows we try
