Mickey Mouse Hat

Low tide's edge
You're holding hands with me
We feel each other's pulse and the pulse of the sea
This is the way I want to see out my days
Morning sun across a mudflat
Just us four
You run as I hold your Mickey Mouse hat

Wakering Stairs

I head down the Wakering Stairs
to The Broomway where my doom awaits me
Watch it take me away like I matter
Like the Earth could shatter
Lord knows I can't walk on water
But watch me wade, just watch me saunter away!
Lord knows I can't walk on water

I won't be long, just recording my song
I don't want to make a record
I want to read books not just for lyrical hooks
I don't want to make a record
I want to eat a stew and watch Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World
I don't want to make a record
Just want to play, having no obligation to write
I don't want to make a record
Go!
I want to play shows that aren't just cutting off my nose
I don't want to make a record
Promoter puts me on but won't listen to my song
I don't want to make a record
There's no fee but I might sell some CDs
I don't want to make a record
The indie rock set just talked through my set
I don't want to make a record
There's a cool label guy, I'm not the cool label kind
I don't want to make a record
Your label sounds neat, will you put out my LP?
I don't want to make a record
No, that's fine - I'll just release it online
I don't want to make a record
I'll only overshare (at least no one will hear)
I don't want to make a record
Today

No Effort

I need to take a breather
I'm hardly Mr. Joie de Vivre
Life can be tough
And yes, I do look rough
To be perfectly honest I think they are crazy
To accuse me of being purposefully slipshod and lazy
I do use first takes but I do not take breaks
Just because I am a person who seemingly makes
No effort
But I do really try
And try as I might I just can't get it right
No effort
Not thinking what's next
I'm lost in the fog of my back catalogue
You are an example of how to absolutely
Work hard at life and art and maintain all your beauty
You levitate above all the flakes
That's because you have a talent that seemingly takes
No effort
But I see you work hard
You have all these powers and you put in the hours
No effort
A person of skill
It might take you a while but you're best by a mile
No effort

Your version of events
The truth, it conflicts it
The damage is all mine
Not got long enough to fix it
But you could've made time
It's like that old adage:
"To say 'I don't have time' is to say 'I don't want to'"
Because everyone has baggage
And my baggage is you
A danger imagined
A real danger to me
I won't further examine
And that's how it will be
I've laid it out for you and I won't be open
No, I won't be open and I never plan to
And you never really planned to
But still you say, "Andrew
I don't understand you"

Wither II

I won't suit bald like Telly Savalas
My voice won't decay like Tom Waits
My skin won't collapse like Harry Dean Stanton
I won't have Ravanelli greys
As I wither away
Wither
Away

What A Hill To Die On!
00:41
|
|||
|
21st year of the 21st Century
Not how George Jetson said it would be
Dawn of the age of declaring you're an arsehole
Ariel Pink on Tucker Carlson
Opinions I thought were universally hated
But you don't want your family vaccinated
What a hill to die on!

Not Waving But Drowning
01:49
|

|
As I purchase the proverbial farm
I think of the times that I caused people harm
My neuroses doesn't hold much charm
& I never intended to cause you alarm
In over my head with the strife
Sorry for twisting the knife
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning

Thames Boom

I don't know what I'm alive for
Clearly perfection is not what I strive for
My defence is snafu
But today is perfect with you
At the Thames Boom

Mood Ring

Your mood ring is turning blue
Even though you're wishing it diamond
As we listen to Neil Young
We're tired, warm and silent
Everything is new to you
But that record is truly amazing
Saturday morning cartoons
Have fallen by the wayside
Your mood ring is turning blue
Even though you're wishing it diamond
