Lyrics: She’s my mood swing. She’s my accoutrement. She’s my blood money, honey. She’s the coke bugs under my skin. She’s my perturbation. She blows me to smithereens. She’s my crisis intervention. She’s a mystery repeating. She…

Lyrics: I spend all my time with no one And I just live with my mistakes. I’m so tired of being lonesome. This is more than I can take. I can’t wait, I can’t wait… For someone I can hold on to. For a love that will be true. For someone…

Lyrics: Baby, I don’t have too many friends outside of this biker gang. And I’m beginning to think I’d like to keep it that way. Everyone here in the gang likes to snort amphetamines. If it’s okay with you we can get jumped in today…

Lyrics: Mama, quit talking crazy. We both know you’re never gonna leave me, baby Because you’re scared to. We got us a history But love is only a drugstore mystery, baby, That I don’t care to read. This ain’t real, baby. We both know…

Lyrics: I don’t know whatever your mama told you But, baby, listen to me. Well she may think that I’m a snake in the clover. I tend to disagree. But I don’t want to take a lover if I can do what I please. It’s just a memory of what you…

Lyrics: I don’t want to live to see that it’s over But I don’t want to leave before my time. So here’s what I’m gonna do. No, no, baby, I ain’t gonna lose you, I’ll just meet up with you further on down the line. Well I can’t tell myself…

This is my version of Alex Moody's "Of A Child" from his album Make Do & Mend...recorded for the RPM cover swap project.

A song about the futility of trying to really express yourself...especially to someone you want to impress... 26th Failed Attempt: When I sat down here tonight and I decided I would write a love song to explain to you why I feel the way…

This song started with just the title. I think unappeasable is a fantastic word. Unappeasable: She’s so unappeasable I don’t think that she’s feasible. Oh, I’ve tried to be reasonable but she can’t see my point of view. She’s blind…

I was thinking about a guy that I met one time in the street in Montreal who was just kind of aimlessly wandering about Canada following the death of his son... Manitoba: I’m on my way, on my way, On my way back to Dufresne… I remember…

I am fascinated by bees. I was thinking about what I might dream about if I were a beekeeper... Dreams of the Beekeeper: I’m going back to sleep. Back to where I keep the most perfect honeybees. The honey that they make is there for…

I guess it's a metaphor for trying to break through to someone who is emotionally removed... Submarine: I could write a book for you to read, Take it in my car and drive away Down to you and your submarine. Your submarine… Or I could…

A song about whether or not to do something you're uncomfortable with... Moving Too Slow: Oooooooooh…am I moving too slow for you cause I don’t want to do this one thing that you want me to? Oooooooooh…if I want to get close to you I…

Grew out of my frustration at having to sing, play all the instruments, and engineer my own recording... Baby, Would You Be My Engineer?: Baby, would you be my engineer and keep my headphones sounding clear? I desperately need someone…

A song about the lost art of the mix-tape and knowing that someone is trouble but doing it anyway... Compilation Tapes: Did I mention that I think that you’re a real fine dancer and I like the way you dress? I’ve known a number of girls…

The title just popped into my head unannounced one day and I had to try to work from that. About a girl with a broken radio and the repairman who would do anything to find her a new one and win her love... It certainly appears broken, Minerva…
