The Week in Review
04:39
|
|||
|
Sunday night light dies
Time to hide inside and idle
Kind of trying times
Find your mind fried on arrival
As you’re folding hours up into years
Sunday afternoon was made for tears
And without a doubt, there’s more trouble due
The worst part of the week is the week in review
As you’re folding ours up into yours
Monday morning opens many doors
Do you know the one you’re walking through?
The worst part of the week is the week in review

I Woke Up
01:58
|

|
I woke up
And the paradigm had shifted
And the curtain had been lifted
And I felt so glad
I woke up
And the status quo had crumbled
And the patriarchy tumbled
I felt so happy
*******************
And all of this is for you
Everything is as it should be
All of this is for you
Things were better when I woke up
I woke up
I woke up
*******************
I woke up
And the love bomb had imploded
And the fat cats were demoted
And I felt so glad
I woke up
And the Age of Man had ended
The animals befriended me
I felt so happy
*******************
And all of this is for you
Everything is as it should be
All of this is for you
Things were better when I woke up
I woke up
I woke up

Serious Eyedrops

|
You’re gonna make it through
With soft gels and serious eyedrops
And I’ll be there for you
We’ll learn the serious ways the worm can turn
A serious mountain to move
A serious stairway to climb
****************
You think about it all day
A serious stairway to climb
But when you think about it all day
A serious waste of your time
******************
We’re gonna put things right
With hot stones and serious eyedrops
If there’s a guiding light
We’ll learn the serious places it can burn
A serious boulder to roll
A serious stairway to climb
You think about it all day
A serious stairway to climb
But when you think about it all day
A serious waste of your time

No Such Too Much
02:50
|

|
Hanging out in nowheresville
On a Tuesday night
Looking for a sleeping pill
Or the inner light
We could catch up on demand
We could go to sleep
See the season turn to sand
Watch the mission creep
I try to keep in mind
I always try to keep in mind
There’s no such thing as too much time
Well, the things that you think that you’re leaving
Are the things that will always be there
And the things that don’t look good on paper
Are like flowers that bloom in the air
There’s no such thing as too much time
There’s no such thing as too much time

Monday's Puzzle

Open up your eyes
All you have to do is open your eyes
And you’ll realize
Monday’s puzzle’s solved
Oh you know
It’s so easy
Why’d you make it hard when it’s so easy?
Oh you know
It’s so easy
Monday’s puzzle’s done
Just get out of bed
All you’ve got to do is get out of bed
When you clear your head
Monday’s puzzle’s solved
Oh you know
It’s so easy
Why’d you make it hard when it’s so easy?
Oh you know
It’s so easy
Monday’s puzzle’s done

ALL YOUR SKILLS
CAN’T PAY THE BILLS
BUT YOUR ACT
REALLY KILLS.
ALL THE STARS
WILL LIGHT THE WAY.
IT’S GONNA BE
THE WORLD’S GREATEST PAINTING OF A MILKSHAKE, BABY.
THE WORLD’S FINEST POEM ABOUT A TEENAGE CASUALTY:
THAT WAS ME.
NOW I’M OLD
BUT I STILL CAN’T LET IT BE
THAT WAS THEN,
THIS IS WAR.
WHY THE HELL
WOULD YOU SAY THAT ANYMORE?
ALL THE FISH
IN THE SEA
CAN FORGET
SO CAN WE.
ALL THE STARS
IN THE JARS
WILL GET THEIRS;
WE’LL GET OURS.

The Special Pillow Hoboken, New Jersey
For the past two decades, The Special Pillow have operated from the margins of the marginal, creating a distinctive string- driven sound—a heady brew encompassing concise ’60s-flavored pop gems, dreamy psychedelic reveries, and a propulsive drive redolent of the antipodean indie acts of the ‘80s. ... more

Me and my friend used to go on drives all the time, and a lot of the time i asked what he was playing, and a majority of the songs were from Yo La Tengo. And since i went and listened to And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out i was fan. Never thought i’d buy one of their records for myself.
