Track Name: Nobody Eats My Dinner
nobody loves me
nobody knows my email
nobody likes me
nobody likes my toenails
nobody likes my hair
nobody eats my dinner but me

nobody loves me
nobody waits by the stairs
nobody hates me
nobody really even cares
nobody sings my songs
nobody eats my dinner but me

nobody but me
and me
and me
and me
(they're all so me)
Track Name: Summer Solstice
don't look up
there's something in the air
i've been drugged
it's setting in i swear
cause i feel it washing over me
like a seed growing up in my spleen

get you up
my few good gentlemen
time to sit
and destroy our intestines
crying oh, one day you'll come to me
we'll make homes, buy happy families

he was a thousand cheers, gone for years
in his married house
he said i don't believe what's come between us
oh it's going south
and he said wife i'm going midnight roaming
makes me feel alive
after all don't you know it's summer solstice
number 55

here he comes
mustached old vagrant
middle aged
sports-jerseyed stumbling drunk
but somehow, somehow he speaks to me
like a voice calling out from a dream
Track Name: Now I'm A Stone
now i'm a stone
polished like leather
home all alone
polished for good
home in a home
locked in by weather
all skin and bone
and polished wood

fight on, heavy eyes
over paradise

now i'm a stone
drifting to rest
leave all alone
a world of moans
heavenly home
heaviest chest
all skin and bone
now i'm a stone
Track Name: Harmonina
You have secrets in your words you
could have told me, if you had the nerve to
don't forget this in a few years
i would explain it, if i had the words to
you're so selfish in your own way, life is too short

harmonina
harmonina
come out from those sheets

all those bad kids in your home town
they can't get you, if you roll up your window
find that life you saw on brit TV
they won't find us if we keep our heads low
i see through you in a heartbeat, life is too short

and after all this, in your bedroom
were you waiting for something to happen?
i could be the one, hold the medal
but i won't give you the satisfaction
i see through you in a heartbeat, life is too short
Track Name: Same Old Future
wide eyed, i go inside
rowing inside your mind
wide eyed, i go inside
rowing inside your mind
home grown and 'so in vogue'
little in giant clothes
so far away how ever close
the same old future won't miss me

bated breath and blood
i waited for your ideas
cherries from a tree
like cherries from a tree
but useless is so in vogue
little in giant clothes
so far way how ever close
the same old future won't miss me

pull me out of the water
so i, so i can see
pull me out of nothing
so i, so i can be
but nothing, the status quo
little in giant clothes
so far away how ever close
the same old future won't miss me
Track Name: Out Of Bed
if it got me out of bed it can't be that bad
if it got me up instead it can't be so bad
there's a breeze around the corner, trying to tell me something
it's gusting in morse code

i want to leave all alone
i want to see through this phone
i want to cheat till i'm home
i want to

if it got me out of bed it can't be that bad
if it got me up instead it can't be that bad
something in the open, right there all along
so out of the way go home

i want to leave all alone
i want to see through this phone
i want to cheat till i'm home
i want to eat all your bones
i want to leave, im gonna go
i want to
Track Name: The Strangest Thing
it's the strangest thing, it's the strangest thing
oh i would oh i would oh i would feel guilty
but i can't remember how
and it's so serene, it's so serene
i was down i was down i was down i was down but
but i can't remember now

and it's lighter than falling
