Run Run 03:41
lyrics

Run run you know you can’t catch me No fun if you just let me be Run run I wanna see you try again Need you forever by my side You knew you’d have to swallow your pride Guess who is along just for the ride Deep inside I don’t wanna be all alone As I slide deeper in my hole all alone Run run afraid I’m much too fast Run run afraid you’re just out-classed Run run you’re gonna come in last again So sweet to know you're oh so near Sweet heat I feel you almost here Discreetly I must slip away again Deep inside I don’t wanna be all alone As I slide deeper in my hole all alone Run run run, run to me Run run run, run to me Run run run, run to me Run run run, run Why can’t I run away with you Why can’t I run away with you What am I ever gonna do Run run run, run to me Run run run, run to me Run run run, run to me Run run run, run

Back to Loving 04:16

I saw you steal the show and Then I heard you tell a lie I shook as you made all of us So mad we had to cry I felt a chill when you pranced in You made me feel so small Should I expect more of one Whose main claim is walking tall Did you think it didn't matter Did you think it was ok Did you think I'd go along and frankly Let you have your way Did you think that I would always simply Look the other way Did you think it didn't matter I watched you in all those moments When you thought no one would know I read those things you wrote Such nasty things I can’t un-know Did you think it didn't matter Did you think it was ok Did you think I'd go along and frankly Let you have your way Did you think that I would always simply Look the other way Did you think it didn't matter I’m taking a break I don’t see a reason I should just roll over and let it go A lot is at stake The time of the season is a Time to get back to loving Did you think it didn't matter Did you think it was ok Did you think I'd go along and frankly Let you have your way Did you think that I would always simply Look the other way Did you think it didn't matter I’m taking a break I don’t see a reason I should just roll over and let it go A lot is at stake The time of the season is a Time to get back to loving I’m taking a break I don’t see a reason I should just roll over and let it go A lot is at stake The time of the season is a Time to get back to loving A time to get back to loving A time to get back to loving

The Jake Shuffle 04:02
lyrics

He walked slowly walked slowly walked with a cane I never asked him never ever asked him to explain He just shuffled along I never heard him never heard him not ever complain I never ever asked him never asked him if he was in pain He just shuffled along He shuffled along, yeah he shuffled along Jake don’t let anyone be He shuffled along, yeah he shuffled along And his family never got free It had a poison had that poisonous TOCP Such irresponsibility became catastrophe Such a wretched recipe Harry and Max they played it dumb you know and copped a plea One grand's no justice no it should have been a felony I know we can all agree He shuffled along, yeah he shuffled along Jake don’t let anyone be He shuffled along, yeah he shuffled along And his family never got free The young one he adored, the one that he adored It shook her to the core, it shook her to the core She lost hope evermore Her mother coped she had to cope she took control of things Her mother was resigned to keep together everything It couldn't be like before He shuffled along, yeah he shuffled along Jake don’t let anyone be He shuffled along, yeah he shuffled along And his family never got free

Feeling It Now 04:30
lyrics
buy track
I was forever sleeping Everything was fine Nothing ever hurt me Nothing on the line Life was simply passing me by Watching from a distance Injustice all around Knew it in my head My heart failed to be found Surely it was beating somewhere Well I'm feelin it now I'm feelin it now (It) Got to me somehow And I hope it never ends What moves one to action And to others not Where's the satisfaction In ignoring others' lot Easy with your head in the sand When you love another Your love can't be blind There is no controlling The things that it will find Take it all or nothing at all Well I'm feelin it now I'm feelin it now (It) Got to me somehow And I hope it never ends And I hope it never ends And I hope it never ends Well I'm feelin it now I'm feelin it now (It) Got to me somehow And I hope it never ends Well I'm feelin it now I'm feelin it now (It) Got to me somehow And I hope it never ends And I hope it never ends And I hope it never ends ‘Cause I'm feelin it now

How the Other Half Live 03:23
lyrics

Got a new home, now I need a new car Got a few dings on my aging guitar Got a new girl, push that paycheck real far I wonder how raises are How the other half live How the other half are living it up How the other half live How the other half are living it up Rich man says you gotta want more Poor man makes me wonder what for Mad man makes it hard to ignore Is somebody keeping score How the other half live How the other half are living it up How the other half live How the other half are living it up Played golf Trip to St. Croix payed off Sorry your boy's laid off Don't let him get soft And be sure to write it off One man's hand is another's way out Some can't stand to know what it's about My grand plan is to give it a shout Let nobody do without How the other half live How the other half are living it up How the other half live How the other half are living it up

Caramel and Fleur de Sel 04:42

She likes it when I'm not so nice She loves my switch from fire to ice Her pretty little thing it ain't no thang There's way too little yin (and) too much yang Caramel and Fleur de Sel She's mad as hell, my mademoiselle Caramel and Fleur de Sel Yeah everybody says they're okay I don't believe a word they say More better with some spice in life Contentment with a taste of strife Caramel and Fleur de Sel She's mad as hell, my mademoiselle Caramel and Fleur de Sel It is said that opposites attract I can say that it is a fact Try a taste and see how you react See how you interact It can't be just an act Caramel and Fleur de Sel She's mad as hell, my mademoiselle Caramel and Fleur de Sel Caramel...and Fleur de Sel

Sad 03:25
lyrics

I can’t get out of bed I can’t get out of my head Where would I go? I've got these feelings of dread Where can I go, I'm so sad I’m stopped dead in my tracks I hate how everyone acts They bug me so Don't try to sway me with facts Where can I go, I’m so sad I've got to find some, find some relief These days I lose my, lose my belief That by meeting my demons head-on I’ll find a reason to go on My ego’s taken a blow I’ve got nothing to show Feeling lower than low I guess it’s time to let go Where can I go, I’m so sad I've got to find some, find some relief These days I lose my, lose my belief That by meeting my demons head-on I’ll find a reason to go on Where can I go, I’m so sad Where can I go, I’m so sad I gotta go, I’m so sad

I Thought We Had a Deal 03:40
lyrics
buy track
You scratch my back and I scratch yours With every move we even the score But lately my back feels ignored I thought we had a deal What started from a jolt of lust Quickly veered from love to trust So why is it on the verge of bust I thought we had a deal We moved in sync without a sound We drove the cynics underground How did we lose that common ground I thought we had a deal You had to have a thing I had For what you had I ached so bad To lose it will make me so sad I thought we had a deal What if we could twist our minds and see another way Let’s agree the hunt for harmony begins today I really thought we had it right Finely tuned and zipped up tight The future looked forever bright I thought we had a deal At the core it is dark and cold Not the best place to grow old But with the promise of a pot of gold I think we've got a deal For a woman or a man that's kept Paranoia feeds each step The downside's got to be offset It’s the nature of the deal It’s every woman for herself So stash your ethics on the shelf Drop concern for your mental health ‘Cause you’ve got to clinch the deal What if we could twist our minds and see another way Let’s agree the hunt for harmony begins today What if we could twist our minds and see another way Let’s agree the hunt for harmony begins today

I am not, not your puppet and I am not your machine I can think for myself but I Fear that you'll intervene Oh no oh no oh no Every day, every minute of Every hour I'm on guard You may say you're supportive but You make every day so hard Oh no oh no oh no Oh no oh no oh no (Well) I am more than this So much more than this You can't love what you can't measure Ask yourself if this is how you think a Partnership's meant to be Ask yourself one more time if it Still makes sense to be with me Oh no oh no oh no Oh no oh no oh no (Well) I am more than this So much more than this You can't love what you can't measure Why oh why don't I just leave you Quit cold turkey, never ever see you Freedom shouldn't mean I've got no place to go (Well) I am more than this So much more than this You can't love what you can't measure You can't love what you can't measure You can't love what you can't measure

Birthday Suit 05:03
lyrics
buy track
I invite you to a party for two And I’m hoping that you will come I’m decorating, blowing up the balloons Are you in the mood for fun? Spread the icing, spread it real thick So sweet when I lick the spoon And light the candles, hold a flame to each tip Make them burn so they drip too soon Make them burn so they drip too soon Put on your birthday suit You know the one that’s so cute Put the rest of your suits away I’ve got my birthday suit You know the one that’s so cute Put the rest of your suits away Put the rest of your suits away And make a big wish, you can make it for me You’ll get it I’ll show you how Take a deep breath, blow with all of your might You can open my present now You can open my present now Put on your birthday suit You know the one that’s so cute Put the rest of your suits away I’ve got my birthday suit You know the one that’s so cute Put the rest of your suits away Put the rest of your suits away Ah, fits like a glove, ooh feel that second skin Can you think of anything better to dress in? For what I’ve got planned more clothes would be a sin Come on let the party begin Put on your birthday suit You know the one that’s so cute Put the rest of your suits away I’ve got my birthday suit You know the one that’s so cute Put the rest of your suits away Put the rest of your suits away

Three Girls 04:03
lyrics

How could I see with no light and no eyes How could I breathe with no air How could I hear with no sound no replies How could I become aware What did I feel with no endings for touch What did I sense was there Living an endless sameness so much Hard for me to care No where and no how No then and no now No thrill to be on my way No nothing at all Until the day One girl made the sun, the shining sun Two girls made the planets whirl around But three girls made the universe Three girls they made it all Where could I go on a road with no bend How could I find a friend What could I do with no means to an end No means even to pretend No where and no how No then and no now No thrill to be on my way No nothing at all Until the day One girl made the sun, the shining sun Two girls made the planets whirl around But three girls made the universe Three girls they made it all Tasting a taste of what a place is a space That’s filled with earthly delight Magical mystical the way that that space Was filled with sweetness and light One girl made the sun, the shining sun Two girls made the planets whirl around But three girls made the universe Three girls they made it all

Broken Promise Land 04:24
lyrics
buy track
For three generations we gave it all we got Provided for our families and were loyal patriots But the work it all dried up Mounting expenses we could not catch up I saw the lamp lifted beside the golden door A no strings welcome I had not experienced before But somewhere it went wrong In the end it seems I don't belong Life, liberty And the pursuit of happiness Living in a broken promise land Living in a broken promise land Is it gonna be them or is it gonna be me A zero sum game isn’t how it has to be When we’re building walls Our big ambitions well they seem so small The people we elected seem determined to ignore The fundamental truths that were evident before They rewrite the rules And they think they can take us as fools Life, liberty And the pursuit of happiness Living in a broken promise land Living in a broken promise land How did I get here Why do I stay It's no longer what I knew as The American way Life, liberty And the pursuit of happiness Living in a broken promise land Living in a broken promise land Mending our broken promised land Mending our broken promised land

Storytown New York, New York

Get yourself a big pot. Fill it with a broth rich with grooves. Toss in liberal, flavorful handfuls of The Beatles, XTC and Talking Heads. Add dashes of the Allman Brothers Band, World Party and Tom Petty. Let it simmer for a long, long time, until all those flavors meld into the unique, melodic, catchy and indescribable deliciousness we call Storytown. Correct the seasoning. Dig in. ... more
