I see my life like a comic, there you go
in some ways you're a lot like me
where do we go my lovely, I don't know
our lives are much like on TV
like some of the stars we shine
with our brand new toys, is he your new boy?
why don't you play with him? go on play with him
it's not the class it's the shine
of his brand new car
is he your new star on the silver screen?
on the silver screen
i see the picture getting clearer by the day
it must be someone else's face
"Final Tuesday", two for grownups, 'scuse me there
don't think it's someone else's place
like some of the stars we shine
with our brand new toys, is he your new boy?
why don't you dance with him? go on dance with him
it's not the class it's the shine
of his brand new car
is he your new star on the silver screen?
on the silver screen

Be a Wolf

I guess I won't linger upon it
it has all been said and done
my train leaves here in the morning
towards the sun
towards the sun
towards the fading sun
towards the sun
towards the fading sun
I feel the dogs they all avoid me
like I'm some kind of a brute
the cars they pass me by
I travel by foot
but when wild dogs dig my bones
and nobody knows my name
I want to be a wolf
a freak of a man
yeah I want to be your wolf
your freak of a man
I say the poets side of the story
is always better left untold
I take these words he left upon me
uncontrolled
yeah uncontrolled I am uncontrolled
uncontrolled I am uncontrolled
but when wild dogs dig my bones
and nobody knows my name
I want to be your wolf
your freak of a man
yeah I want to be your wolf
your freak of a man
oh yeah I want to be your wolf
your freak of a man
your freak of a man
your freak of a man
your freak of a man
your freak of a man

Down Slow
03:14

take me skyline
to the country in the rain
through the muddy fields
to the house i've grown up in
somewhere in the dusk
her voice still cries my name yeah
take me snowflake
to the falters of the hills
the season it says nothing
so i take it all it feels
you see out there is dark
there's nowhere you're going today no way
cos you see outside
a full moon's trial
takes me down slow
show me lover
what it is you want to feel tonight
I don't know what i'm doing
but I'll try to get it right
turn over love
now it is your turn to shine not mine
caged in dark
your heart denies
taking me down slow
forget about the changes
or what life was supposed to be for you
shake it off quietly
look at all the young boys
breaking all the car windows with spark plugs
it's a shame
they should fly
locked and tied
police cars
taking them down slow

Cold Sun
02:03

When you told me
we were so full of sky
passing by oh passing by
when you love me
I feel so reassured
I'd sing it all out
how it never occurred to me
that you're a cold sun
that you're a cold sun
that you're a cold sun
that you're a cold sun
in my head now
you play a fine violin
one step too far
one step too far
wake up sleepy
why you're pretty indeed
I'd sing it all out
how it never occurs to me
that you're a cold sun
that you're a cold sun
that you're a cold sun
that you're a cold sun

Afraid Not Scared
02:38

one last line you get girls with cigarettes
everything's gray but everything's black to me
maids on novocaine, boys on caffeine pills
everything feels like everything's burnt insanity
hard core burger place, lifeless colored words
all I know is all that I feel, exploding dreams
worthless enemies, busted upper lips
backboard momma, her eyes popping out like candy cream
and I'm afraid not scared
and I'm afraid not scared
treat your sanity with insanity
and keep the face that takes the blows of foul wind
captain overboard, lights on neon streets
they fail to comprehend the state I'm in
Bombay fireworks, midnight elephants
frozen music that can't defy reality
Elvis on the news, baby just kill the blues
I don't wanna feel when life drips out of me
when I'm afraid not scared
afraid not scared
yeah I'm afraid not scared
oh I'm afraid not scared

No Action
02:53
|

|
wind is cold, water's blind
I send her my greeting from the line I'm beating
no one dares to come on close
pregnant and wild she's home waiting to feel it
now winter is blowing in her ear "move on"
and summer is just around her fingernail
I want to be like any other season
to make it right by her somehow
this is life, man, there's no exception
I'm saving time 'cause there's no action in love
this is just fine so let me load you
'cause you're just mine, I thought I told ya
little baby, there ain't no action in love
she is told she is tired
but all that talk isn't worth it, she believes it
hair like wind, eyeballs cracked
dressed by night she's waiting at home defeated
old lovers whisper in her ears "hello"
discovers the liquor she pours knows her name
it wants to be like any other reason
to make it right by her somehow
this is life, man, there's no exception
I'm saving time 'cause there's no action in love
this is just fine so let me load you
'cause you're just mine, I thought I told ya
little baby, theres no more action in love

Personal Disaster

can my master wait for a while?
can you spare me some of your time?
I can take a load off you
so you can be a friend of mine
I can take a load off you
I take loads off all the time
I take loads off all the time
both my master and personal disaster is this girl
both my master and personal disaster you are
and personal disaster you are
can my lady wait for me
I can take him off her mind
but I can't take the pain away
she'll just have to wait it out
I can't take the pain away
no one does that but time
no one does that but the time
both my master and personal disaster is this girl
both my master and personal disaster you are
and personal disaster you are
and personal disaster you are
personal disaster you are

can't you feel it's alright
we're in the city of light
can't you feel its so right
the way we dance down in the night yeah
baby I'm sleeping and yeah I've been waiting on you
your love's done no favors it just tied my head to my shoes
I'm already giving up this fight we've called love
and the worst thing to me is we never we never had enough
can't you feel it's alright
we're in the city of light
can't you feel its so right
way we dance down in the night yeah
tried to run but suddenly the hand
hand of fate tried to take it's turn
we once swore to hate the fire
still inside us it burns
can't you feel it's alright
we're in the city of light
can't you feel its so right
way we dance down in the night yea
can't you feel it's alright
we're in the city of light
can't you feel it's alright
in the city tonight

Indie Folker Romania
Indie Folker is very much like Iron & Wine without the iron or Noah And The Whale without the whale… In plain: music inspired by the folkers and anti-folkers, or in a broader spectrum: indie folk, homemade acoustic pop or just plain old folk rock music from the bird house. Drawing comparison to such imaginary singers and performers such as: Tom Waits on high heels, a more scrupulous and much young ... more
Indie Folker recommends:
It's an insane wave of guitar and melody of the most overwhelming kind. I love this album!
