09/01/05 - Well, I just finished a new crop of four-trackings. from now on, all the song journals have over-dubs, sweet. this one is probably my favorite of the lot, the percussion track is just me wackin a strainer full of peanuts. Android had passed out at this point in the recording process.
Another Cup of Tea- real player
Another Cup of Tea- mp3
I gathered up all my bright ideas, I wrote them down on my wrist
but i never did drink the drops of ink, pouring from your fingertips
never took a second look at the color of your lips,
cause i was lookin fer Avalon
and now I'm glad I finally met you
you're all i wanted to see
is thier anything I could get ya?:
some extra time at the five and dime, proof that I'm in love with you
or maybe just another cup of tea
Rattled off my testimony, "I seen him weight the dice"
always blew, the good and true, never had the sense to lie
you add up everything ya got and you're still a little shy,
hey well you know it's time
time i'm glad i finally met you
you're all i wanted to see
is thier anything i could get you?:
another dance, your kaki capri pants, another chance of loving you
or maybe just another cup of tea
well i wanted to know, was thier anything your heart desires
i wanta fetch it fer you, through the wind the rain and the fire
I road out on my brown eyed mare but she never change her course
so it wasn't long, till she was gone, i had to ride in on, a different horse
sometimes love is easy, but some loves you have to force
you better give it yer all
after all i'm glad i finally met ya
you're all i wanted to see,
is there anything i could get ya?:
a holta top, at the kini shop, babe i never stop lovin you
or maybe just another cup of tea
its all right, lovin you
08/07/05 - whoa I haven't done this in a while. lets see, this one was probably written when I was around 17. Its also the only song i have ever written in a minor key. I think I found that minor keys make my lyrics really gross. Like in this one i sing about how "you can't stop till you begin", and "we don't reap what we don't sow". then again i was only 17.

golden sun- mp3
every face that passes by me
has a golden sun on its forehead
and every place that I leave broken
i leave behind me a silver tolken
stumble on, its not a sin
see you can't stop till you begin
if i was blind i might believe that people
could be kind to a sightless man
Chorus
mister's got a new way of doing things
he ain't doing things that make him think on his own
riding just as fast as his horse'll go
and when he gets there, he'll go it alone
in the alley there stands a man
who's paused to look through my garbage can
and what he seeks, he's sure to find
a bag that harbours my stained glass mind
what will he do with the mind of me
he'll add it to his glass menagiere
he asks me will you ever need this again
and i say no man, you could have it.
(C)
every time i find conclusion
it turns right back into disalusion
and every fact that stabelizes
is not as tough as my right hand
walk back to the ground you seeded
if you can chew, then you could surely eat it
and we don't reap what we don't sow
we dissappear before peter pan crows
(c)
05/05/05 -hmm, 5/5/5... i suppose thats as good as 11:11 make a wish?...anywayz... i don't like how i was singing this, but i like the lyrics alot, specialy the third verse, i get real nostolgic for D-town sometimes. i'm lucky my sis goes up there now so i have an excuse to visit sometimes.
Becca my mathmagician, said miss moan could ya tell me pleaze.
anything ya know about subtracting some life,
and put my mind at ease
wontcha tell me where them thought divisions go, when my face was all peachy fuzz.
she said: if it seems like your life was bigger then
the reason for it is that it was.
(C)
so hang on tonya, to that overgroan blade of grass
put it between your thumbs and blow
and i'll come a running fast
and hang on to your questions
the only thing that i know
is that i fell in love with a gal like you
about six years ago,
so stomp box me, stomp on me babe
tonya came out to coffee, with herself, miss moan, and I
and every time i talked about i knew what i said she just laughed.
I only never ever did not see her once,
that is i never did see her, a second time
cause ever since the day that i seen her first
she been stuck up in my mind
(C)
Cause in this town all the lakes have been tamed,
so stay up north where the song remains
and the people don't care if you're stupid or sane
they won't change you
forwards and backwards and a to and a fro
I do think your hair looks nice all covered in snow
but you got a long long ways to go before you stop the flow...

the girls are giggling right after i left
they saw right through my disguise, but they ain't letting on
i'd allready memorized the number that i asked you for
some say i'm hopeless
and it all comes into focus

as i'm strolling down the slanted sidewalk next to the freeway
i can't see no cars but i hear thier engines running
peak through a crack in the wall its like:
shoom shoom shoom shoom shoom
there's a cloud of dought following me
but the sun is still out. i could see it, hello.
i can't remember why i love the girl
cloud of dought won't you leave me alone
you never rain but you pour
maybe its cause she straitens out my floor
and she straitens out my slanted sidewalk next to the freeway
i'm pounding back six-pack and a pounders with my boys
i eat all my taco johns for free
got ta keep me fed.
some say i should assert myself
got to be macho but sometimes i feel as coy as the boy
that i was sometime ago
taco john says sometimes i rock oon poco sa i'm strolling down the slanted...

you don't have to paint your face tonight
we can't see it in the darkness of your light
believe in what you have to say
believe that you never could lose your way
cause you don't have to find your station
dive right in to loves creation
and they'll be someone waiting for you
after you have to go
and leave it all behind
i didn't think that never stood fer never
cause maybe is a word thats always near
and i never thought i'd hold you for forever
what we have is never what we're thinking about
freshwater kids with scabby knees
scratched up arms from scratchy tree we was climbin together
we were just kids we hardly knew
hallway smiles could get us through som pretty shaddy times
i couldn't see just what a wonderful gift you were to me
couldn't do anything to stop my love from hurting you
and i'm sorry for giving up so soon
since you've been gone i lost my concentration
sometime i forget things as i grow
i forgot i had a genteration
and in all our hearts we're eveything we've lost along the way
standing in lines from a to z
i looked at you, you looked at me
the alphabet never knew what it started
lunch box heros fight the crime
passing notes and passing the time
i though we would never lose
i couldn't hear what your ghost was whipering in my ear
i couldn't hear it shouting:
believe in love
its the only thing that'll save ya from yourself
12/02/04 - back in school days golden rule days i liked this real perdy gal, but instead of engaging in civilized conversations, i'd usually just walk around in the woods listening to the pumpkins. for the record, i'm holding billy corgan personally responsible for all my past, present, and future rainy dispositions. actually i might as well just blame the early nineties in general. and don't forget star trek V, yeah you know what i'm talking about. all right thats it i'm going to postgrungeshrinks.com ...

and when she says yes, you know yer love is true
but when she says no, next time around yer time for love is due
yer luck is gonna change for the better
and i had to fight to, think to invite you to me
when its busting up in ya, its hard to continya to seem
a lack-lustered believer
and i recall that i wept once long ago
when it was easier to hide it, than to show
and we were all curious to know
about sadness
well, what killt the fantasy?
i tasted the salt caked on yer neck
then you said hey don't save yer love for me
dont waste your time lighting a candle under the scene
but i love ya still
probably always will

you got dreams but no real ambitions
round the thought of lost time ya spin
and it seems you've been styling petitions
but all they say is count me in
they say:
(c)
i'm not looking for someone to take me home
but i'm not asking anybody to leave me alone
i'm just hoping that someone'll rage
and find us a stage we can call our own
as she cleans the knife that ya sold her
you're abliged to sit and stare
then she leans in over your shoulder
you're vacant as she whispers
she says:
(c)
we're all of us troubedors
rich in our eyes yet poor in our souls
good god we all holding 2 by 4s
we'll be a million tether-ball poles
i see a million tether ball poles
but at least we're all swinging together
and you scream there's nothing that moves you
underneath your shnackeled breath
ain't no reason to turn your head
unless its fashion or death
you scream:

feather- real player
feather- mp3
one of these days, ize gonna find a woman
and she gonna make me someone that you could be proud to call yer man
thez so many ways, to do it its got to be easy
but not when you're feeling teasy, you just saw the love of your life
(c)
and you didnt think that she was fer real
when she said that we would heal our broken hearts
we had the right to feel
like we were wrong, alittle too strong from holding on
Ize feeling the heat of and angel frozen in laughter
cause heaven was never a factor and cupid was buzy punching his card
but could you repeat that thing that you do with your jacket
she gives me a nut then she cracks it
she gives me air when i need to breathe
(c)
so if if it seems like when ever you send it its already late
destroy what you creayyyyyy-ted
your never confessed that you wanted to hold her
you didn't know you allready told her with your eyes
and i'd never felt the answer was ever a question
and perfect was never perfection the candle was lit before i came
now i'm watching it melt, iz not gonna last forever
and children chasing a feather is how she describes her deepest desires
(c)
9/09/04 - i wrote this one for a friend in college, two friends actually. my friend Charity was feelin sad about a breakup with my friend Adam and some people in our circle were all taking sides like it so often happens in smaller groups of friends. this song was just about trying to keep the vibe less hostile than it had to be.

charity's down- mp3
charity's down and you know that it shows
but she still wiggles her toes when she laughs
we know she's a good girl its well understood
what she's got tucked in her hood is a halo
she looking out for a reason to shout
y'know its what i'm about to tell'er
thing are really just fine
(chorus)
so if that boy made you cry
throw those tears up in the sky
he just a boy and he needs to be free
so throw those tears in the sky
and rain'em down on me
sometimes i think when she's had to much to drink
she just might be on the brink of insanity
and i'd take her home but then she'd be alone
and you know she don't want to be lonely
she picks a fight with the darkness of night
and there ain't nothing as bright as the smile on her face
(c)
just yesterday there was love but they don't feel that way anymore
and now that its over we make the discovery
we just can't be who we were before
charity's finding the path to take
making a break for the fork in the road
we'll see her again counting backwards from ten
and you know that its then she'll be ready to go
she going back to the grace horse track
gambling's what she's bound to do.

nothing that we do could be wrong
cause i'm the ying and you're the yang
i'm the ping you're the pong
sippin lemonade we relax
then we turn the dreamin dial to the max
(c)
don't let them tell you that its phony or fake
they don't know what they're missing while they're staying awake
don't let'em tell ya that its all in your head
the sun is still out so lets get back into bed
ding-dong ditchin heavens door
we aint going in yeah we been there before
we got better things to do
like running through the sprinkler in the afternoon
suntan lotion all over us
everybody get on the dream day bus and lets ride

8/09/04 - this one turned out pretty dope. it took us like a jillion years to get a drum beat we liked. i'd be all like, "hey android, do it like bohm-bohm-chnka tiki-tiki-ki-ki dtna" and he'd be like, "na man, i'm just feelinit like duhm ... doodichink ... bnida-duhm-pgin-snink." so we compromised and got something in betweenish.

how he got ya to scream and shout:

we've no time to waste in out minds
theres and open door your body finds time and again
and ain't no crime that your eyes won't forgive
theres an empty house where we could leave our melodies behind
beaded hair, ya fake a tear in your courduroys
shootin up with the older boys
they got the music that you've never seen
now you're a woodland elf: picture yourself in the movies
but you spent your far-outs and groovys
on a life you never really could own
so keep waiting for commishner to phone
(c)
thought and pen, your words have invented a yesterday
and its replacing your pepperspray
its replacing your sense of smell
and theres a stept-in secret you stole from your parents
the promise that guarantees us the ride to try and figure it out
with our prayers our wheels and our doughts
but for now...

Matty D thread you bootlaces
tie them tight up in a double knot
put your peddle to some metal put your finger to the trigger take a strait shot
(chorus)
because the summer of your springtime is almost over
it's time for the tune ya sing to find a different song
some kinda nutzy autumn taps you gently on your shoulder
you figure that theres something bigger better you should be diggin on
all because the song you sung allready been done
by every one in every way, you say
that same old song ain't no longer cool for you to play
but Matt where ever you go we want you to know
we sing it at the top of our lungs
it's enough for us that we ain't heard you sing it yet today
Matty you were always a good friend to me
and i'll remember to remember things ain't over till they're over
you'll be my friend indefinatly
and just like that mountain we found out in western Wyoming
we never made it to the top but that don't mean we stoped
we're gonna go back there someday
and if we never make it to the summit
i know someday we'll raise a glass
to that old mountain that kicked our asses
(chorus)
Josie she's that type a girl she'll spin you round and round and round
she'll get you high on jesus
Josie you thought that Matty would never leave us
you came down to say your goodbyes
but he'd left about an hour before
oh, don't you fret none beautiful Josie
don't you know your seasons are changing fast
nothing was meant to last forever

battling the borg and saving the galaxy for me and you

Gene won't you dream for me we nead another Starship
we tried to build one of our own
but we couldn't get past the our-ship part
Gene please, where did them stars that shine on me go
are they even mine to see anymore
I'm looking up but i don't see nothing
cause the lights are too bright in this city
hey Gene djya know the first time we went to the moon
it was all just a competition with the Russians
and i'm afraid if we don't learn something
there'll be some noo-clee-ar repercusions or something
we want to go ta mars, want to make it ours
looking for something in the dirt
but wouldn't it be nice if we found something down here first
something real cool
I don't know how its gonna be it the twenty-third century
are we even gonna last till then
maybe if we practise Zen
compassion and love for all hu-mens
and also for alien friends
they could be saying hurray for the humans
huzzah for the future of galactic peace
they won't be able to do it without some...

Gene you were so wise
you'd never believe your eyes
the poet tries
to write a brighter future's past
Earthings can't we see
how much better off we'd be cruizing five-year missions,
upholding the prime directive, and drinking hot tea
(chorus)
5/25/04 - I think this song used to have a coherant title. Or maybe it didn't. I honestly can't remember. Its been a while since it mattered much. but it sounds cool when you say it fast so thats perdy neat i think.

and a sucker to your left smiling at a click box
staring down them silk socks
you may have worn on that day
and he'll miss you whenever the sun decides to stay
traylzimay
there's a fire in your room girl
where a boy who came too soon is burning up his first chance
laughing at the duck pants
you may have worn on that day
and he'll miss you whenever the sun decides to stay
traylzimay
And now he's tasted your scent
how can he settle for anything less
never spoke what was meant
and now, never allowed to confess
traylzimay
Now, his shadows left you sleave girl
always knew you'd have to leave
his truth waxed artificial
but his love was unconditional
and so it still remains
i see that it still remains
Because he's tasted your scent
how can he settle for anything less
never spoke what was meant
and now, never allowed to confess
traylzimay
He likes politics and baseball
but nothing could replace all
contenince you brought him no one ever taught him
but now he knows to move on from those craft shooten days
or there'll be somebody's hell to pay
says away from love
and traylzimai
and i'll miss you whenever my heart feels just O.K.

5/3/04 - I did this one when i was in New York on a family fun trip. it was like a month before Bush the younger's Iraq war.

old men, you don't have to veil your hate
the world's not gonna heal when all you do it regulate it.
and i know love is understanding every point of view
but you war is just too demanding
and so i hate you
but i don't want to hate anymore
old men, you don't have to kill them first
no matter how much blood we drink it'll never quench our thirst
old men, we don't have to be afraid
it's better to lose our lives then to lose our souls
and i know love is understanding every point of view
but you war is just too demanding
and so i hate you
but i don't want to hate anymore
cause all the bombs that you build won't make you strong
the worlds been waiting for peace for too long
you tell me sometimes killing is right, well i think you're wrong
if you want to kill something, kill my song, kill my song
but don't kill our dreams for peace
young men, it's O.K. to lose control
but it's better when we admit that we can't pick up all the pieces by ourselves
my young friends, some day we'll all of us be old
so lets just remember where we come from and what we believe
i believe love is understanding every point of view
i believe love is understanding every point of view
i believe love is understanding every point of view
i believe love is understanding every point of view
4/28/04 - This song is about a friend i lost once. its kinda sad
george - real player
george - mp3
george he was a good friend
i met him on an island
a year before i knew him
we didn't know that i would choose him
and now i'm sorry that i left you
alone inside your prison
never knew if he forgave me
but i know he left his wisdom, so now
(chorus)
I think i've forgoten how to eat
and i'm having trouble closing my eyes
so bury me under a bridge
and i'll be back when the river drys
george was often lonely
for his absent one and only
he thought that he could meet her
if he only had some money
but no one ever told him
that he could meet her on his own
or maybe someone told him
and maybe the were wrong, and now
(chorus)
GEORGE. I'M SORRY
george when we was fresh men
i thought we'd learn our lesson
but all we learned from starting
was that we'd end up broken hearted
and now i'm sorry that i left you
i'm ashamed i couldn't see
i'm ashamed i didn't listen
when you said to me:
(chorus)
4/17/04 - This is a song about a girl. Thats pretty much it. Heres da files:
Drifting - real player
Drifting - mp3
she don't make me, a better man
but what she does helps me out because
she helps me see, who i really am
i can't believe she found me, in my caked on Brigadoon
and just like the air, she doesn't care
about my renegade red balloon
and i start freaking out and trying to chase it down
and then she pulls me back by the collar of my jacket and i fall right down on my seat
(chorus)
so now we are drifting, out into the sky
and just like my red balloon, we never even had to learn how to fly
we're all yes yes yes, xcept we can only guess
just where it is we're going
she don't complete me, i'm already cooked well done
what she does is she eats me, with some ketchup in a bun
ain't no flavor, she hasn't tried
and just like the wind, she's never sinned
just like a sailor she's never cried
you don't have to believe me
in fact you probably shouldn't, because in fact i'm probably wrong
she don't inspire me, to get ahead
she says i don't have to win no foot races for her
then she kicks me out of bed
and so i tell her, "ain't no way i'm gonna lose
and she's such a tease, an autumn breeze
when she steals my running shoes
she says "get out there and lose that race for me
you know i'm game to find just what it is you think you've lost
4-6-04 - This is a song that started out being about global warming. Turns out its really just about being lazy. Seriously though, call your congress people, this stuff is no joke.
waterworld - real player
waterworld - mp3
global warming? its just a hoax
yes i think that the globe is really getting a little colder
know what i mean?
don't believe me? just ask your folks
they'll probably tell you something about the sixties
it ain't coming back, peace and love was just a dream they had...
so now i'm wondering
if my time is getting watered down, couldn't that mean that we're growing some how
and if my world, its getting watered down, mightent that mean somethings growing?
or does it mean that we're drowning...
i don't like feeling like i'm the only body
whooz feeling like i feel
now theres a dude who says he could save us all with his money
and this other man says he could save us with his love
he says love a dove
and my friend jenny says we could save ourselves
with the help of a god above
but she don't know which one
and i seem to remember a man who told me i'd lose my soul if i gave up the fight
then i got a good job and bought a volkswagon, and a proved to him that he was right.
i forgot to vote
i think i was shoping for some bose speakers, tiny speakers, listening for something
but just ended up wondering
if my time is getting watered down, couldn't that mean that we're growing some how
and if my world, its getting watered down, mightent that mean somethings growing?
maybe it'll "trickle down"
or maybe it won't and then we'll all drown...
i still don't like feeling like i'm the only body
whooz feeling like i feel
and i don't wanna feel bad, for having bad stuff
don't ya know they told me it was gonna be good stuff to have
on the tele-v
and i don't wanna feel sad, for thinking sad thoughts
don't ya know they told me they was gonna be happy thoughts
why would they lie
they say
if your time feels watered down, son that just means you're growing up
fact of life
they said
"if your life feels diluted, we'll get ya some of this and it'll pull ya through it"
but don't believe everything you want to believe cause you may find yourself someday
down at the bottom
of the ocean floor
global warming finally gotcha
on your way to the video store
and now you don't like feeling like you're the only fishy
whooz feeling like you feel
3/19/04 - I wrote this little ditty after a nice weekend at a friends cabin up north. Its about that not old but not young feeling you get sometimes, dreams and hope and that sort of thing.
@jury's cabin - real player
@jury's cabin - mp3
The girls gone wild, when they seen denuded child
@juryscabin
laughing we boys watch them from the hill by the shore
and the water hides only so much
full moon, you coulda never come too soon
@juryscabin
somebody once told me when you're full you make us crazy
to the earth you spin the string of a kite
we've all a - good night
as lake Mille Lacs swallows our light
we'll keep the fire burning bright
and every love holds the one they are thinking of
tightly in their hearts
@juryscabin
i seen the black dog, he barks to us in analogue
@juryscabin
all that he wants is to fetch us back the things that we've thrown away
i seen the brown mare, the wind just got all tangled up in her hair
@juryscabin
nobody could ride her, you could only run beside her
she's a kiss from the land of desire
but its entirely - all right
as lake Mille Lacs swallows our light
we'll keep the fire burning bright
and every love holds the one they are dreamin of
tightly in their hearts
@juryscabin
well mama Jury arrives late in the day
watches them games we still playing
she says them games never really change in any way
and it was all that we needed
our fears undefeated
our forerunners debts to repay
so gather round friends, the future of life depends on us
we'll never believe that our plans to change this world are impossible
cause its all possible
and for this new world we will fight
as lake Mille Lacs swallows our light
we'll keep the fire blazing bright
and every girl and boy feels the warmth of love and joy
bursting out their hearts
@juryscabin
3/11/04 - another song about girls and being lazy.
Your someone too - real player
Your someone too - mp3
never thought i'd have a story to tell
never said anything when we parted, xcept to wish you well
on your journey away from my indifference
ya coulda asked me if you wanted more
coulda told me about the dreams you had in store, for our friendship
guess i coulda asked or something
but i was never that good at dreaming
i could never dream as good as you
and i'm sorry i would never be there to see them dreams that didn't come true
never imagined you would love me
it was a drop of blood that i never drew
and so now i'd give up everything i ever thought i had for one more chance
to be your someone too
never thought that i would stay all that long
never thought that i would ever have to think to sing a song
to my window, trying to break the broken glass
ya coulda asked me to stay for a while
coulda took out your night gown and put it on, put on a smile
it makes me smile too, to think...
xcept i was never that good at smiling
i could never smile as good as you
and i'm sorry i would never be there
for all the good times we never knew
never thought i could make you happy
it was a drop of blood that i never drew
and so now i'd give up everything i ever thought i had for one more chance
to be your someone too
your someone too, your someone too,
somebody who, could be your fill in the blank conesuor
never thought our lives together would ever be real
i was waiting on a love that i would someday feel for a goddess
some kinda Katie Holmes, or Beyonce.
ya coulda asked me if you wanted to start
coulda told me about the love you had in your heart, and your body
guess now i'll never know what was really there
cause i was never that good at loving
i could never love as good as you
and i'm sorry i would never be there
to see a love that never grew
i never wanted you to see me for who i really am
it was a drop of blood that i never drew
and now i'd give up everything i ever thought i had for one more chance
to be your someone too
and now i'd give up everything i ever thought i had for one more chance
to be in love with you
2/27/04 - This song is about friendship lost but remembered. I forgot the chords and lyrics towards the end and so i just started monkeying around and yelping. i thought it sounded sorta cool so i kept the take.

devin - mp3
two boys, under the stairs
you can't say they're missing if nobody cares
pooling our food from separate shares
together we've got about ten packs left
but we had never gone hungry there
two steps on every stair
Devin, lately i've been rema-nising our dilemma
did we ever really have one of those?
two girls up in that tree
one for you and another for me
you flash some lights, and i'll make some noise
"hey girls guess what? We're Boys!"
Squandered never a second chance
two hands on every branch
Devin, lately i've been rema-nising our endeavor
did we ever really make one real?
grown some, sick of red rain
so you bought a jet and i bought a plane
when you spun left, thats when i felt i'd take a right
just two boys headed up through the clouds searching for a light
nothing to stop us from flying too high
cold stop you shot from the sky
Devin, no, get yourself out of there
can't you hear the lightning crack
