So you stopped coming round
Your heart buried in the ground
It's a shock, it's a scene
You never say what you mean
Emotional landmines
You can see the stop signs
But you're not slowing down
One foot on the trip line
And the words fly…
How you gonna sleep when you're never sound?
How you gonna keep you fever down?
Your an eyeful
How you gonna walk when you never run?
Chip off the block your father's son
You're an eye sore
And I wonder if I'll bend under
The weight of…
How you gonna sleep when you're never sound?
How you gonna keep you fever down?
Your an eyeful

Last night I dreamed I was a dancer
In an old off Broadway show
And I danced with the girls in balcony
And I sang to the mezzanine row
It was Tin Pan Alley and Salvador Dali
At the curtain the crowd leapt to their feet
And I bowed and I…

From the first second of this song I was digging it. I love the instrumentation, the arrangement, the style -- very tasteful indeed! Great job -- Rock on!

i heard this before when you posted it on FB, but it's amazing how much i love your music for a style that is not one i would ever listen to. when you're rocking it's rocking and when you shift gears like this one, it's haunting and true. keep on making music like this man, if were up to me, you'd be a rockstar on a million dollar deal playing this for the whole world to hear.

Oh my sky
What has come between you and I?
One million tons
Of chloroflourocarbons
Saw it in a movie
Watched it with the subtitles on
But my heart has overdrawn
Can I owe you some?
Oh My Sky
We’ve forgotten how to fly
What have we done…
How you gonna sleep when you're never sound?
How you gonna keep you fever down?
Your an eyeful
How you gonna walk when you never run?

well I thiiink it was one of the maaaany times in which we would go down to the pMundo beach by the river build a fire, burn one (a couple) down and jam out loud, where I came up with this beautiful chord progression. It was then about a week…
My opus. By far the longest song I've ever recorded. I tried to make it shorter, but it just didn't work. Sorry. :)
"The Water-Carver" uses a sample from Stereolab's "Changer." (Gane/Sadier)
I burned a copy of this album on CD and listen to it in the car constantly...can't get enough...i especially love the lyrics on this album..brilliant work...can't wait to hear more...
An older song that was originally inspired by Prefab Sprout's "Goodbye Lucille #1 (aka 'Johnny Johnny')" but has morphed into it's current state that's more influenced by Suicide and House of Love.
The verses in this song alternate being about my best friend when I was a little kid, and my best friend at the time I wrote it. I thought it was brave and artsy at the time. Then I grew up. :)
Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2

Just letting out my frustration at 'people' in general again.. nice to be able to vent it in a more pleasant way (for those interested in how I used to do it, please see http://alonetone.com/boynamedsu) :)
Lo and behold now holy guacamole if…
Hey Billy. I've been hearing lots of your RPM 2010 album on the Scopes RPM radio. It's awesome. I love the gentle, laid back, comforting sounds. Beautiful acoustics. Great work.
