oh Clem the handsome outlaw
what are you hiding from me?
you don't come when I call
where are you hiding from me?
your deception stings Clem
an unending misery
from where does your love stem?
and just where might your heart be?
oh Clem the handsome outlaw
who are you hiding from me?
you don't come when I call
why are you hiding from me?
you ride all night with your friends
throw your caution into the wind
I'm sure that you don't pretend
flaunt your romance and your sin
oh Clem the loathsome outlaw
what are you hiding from me?
you don't come when I call
where are you hiding from me?
my brave face has grown wrinkled
my heart is tired and gray
your love for me was sprinkled
my heart is now curds 'n' whey
oh Clem the loathsome outlaw
who are you hiding from me?
you don't come when I call
why are you hiding from me?
oh please, set me free
please set me free...

Murky Blues

there is nothing down inside your basement
there is nothing down deep in your chest
just light reflecting off of the fragments
of my dear friend that I once knew best
once lying parallel to the roof of your car
early morning rain falling from a far
murky words poured out from your mouth like a leak
as I watched your brains ooze out from your cheeks
I was longing for someone that didn't exist yet
we sank inside your supple sickly fever
we sank inside your sincerest fears
engrossed by the beauty of the river
the sound of leaves was all we could hear
once lying parallel to the blanket of stars
piercing through our eyeballs, light travels from a far
murky words poured out from your mouth like a leak
as I watched your brains ooze out from your cheeks
I was longing for someone that didn't exist yet
if I could have pushed my fist through the fabric
if I could have torn through time and space
pull you like a rabbit from a hat trick
I'd forever wrap myself in your embrace
once lying parallel to the roof of your car
early morning rain falling from a far
once lying parallel to the blanket of stars
piercing through our eyeballs, light travels from a far
murky words poured out from your mouth like a leak
as I watched your brains ooze out from your cheeks
I was longing for someone that didn't exist yet

Come Rest
03:03

come rest your heavy head, come lay
come lay your hectic mind
there is no burden too heavy
your voice i hope to find
engines incite the sun to come
ending of arms that bind
leaving the fog is cumbersome
a heavy heart is blind
come rest your heavy head, come lay
come lay your tired mind
there is no burden too heavy
your voice i hope to find
waywise and weathered I reached out
under the sky I pined
the weighty clouds came down to me
pounding 'til my heart chimed
come rest your heavy head, come lay
come lay your weary mind
there is no burden too heavy
your voice i hope to find
the notes turned to the distance skies
floated away from time
they once healed many a sigh
meandering so kind
the warmth transcends our tragedy
our worlds begin to rhyme
and wanting more than pageantry
our errant hearts entwine
come rest your heavy head, come lay
come lay your hectic mind
there is no burden too heavy
your voice i hope to find

Big & Small
05:50

I'm an engineer, you're a pioneer
we've come very far, but we're nowhere near
are these sidewalks and trees just happenstance
or are we only as what we appear?
this is a piece of cake, but not the whole pie
this mess the truth, is an untidy lie
are these words and glances just happenstance
or are we only left with how we appear
this is big this is small, this is nothing at all
so important, so trivial, or so I recall
in it to win it, but I'm not ready to fall
on the edge at the junction, but the bridge is too tall
the bridge is too tall
you are alone, so am I, let's combine our time
let's make food, let's drink wine, or go out to dine
if you're stressed I will ease your tired mind
I don't mind, I don't mind, I have all the time
this is big this is small, this is nothing at all
so important, so trivial, or so I recall
in it to win it, but I'm not ready to fall
on the edge at the junction, but the bridge is too tall
the bridge is too tall
we will live in a house where others have lived
to this world our children we will give
they'll bury us in the ground where other people did
this is big this is small, so important so trivial
big to us, but not to all, I think I'm ready to fall

Troubled Boy
04:53
|
|

the path is open the sights unseen
hearts are ready for this two-way dream
with bated breath, forever it seems
teeming down I fall into your lean
meandering my brain can't stay still
people chatters and they speak with ill will
they dig ditches, their ears are landfills
overflowing I don't want the spill
troubled boy with your bumbling fingers
sing to me, your soft mumbling lingers
come to lay with me, my earl grey bringer
come sing to me, my private singer
troubled boy would you come play your keys
they hit so hard that they pierce through me
I need to see everything you see
let's go hear the whurl' let's hear the sea

I've Waited So Long
05:24
|
|
||
I've painted a picture, with many a stroke
I listened softly when you leaned and spoke
the sound unbound in my ear echoed in my heart
your face so clear in my mind, clung to my heart
I've waited so long, did you know I was waiting for you
I didn't even know, that you were the one I was waiting
to get to know, please don't go
my days are filled with murmurs, planes and the like
sounds blend, feet bend, I'm propelled forth by my bike
my memories fade but my love will never wane
over the ocean I want to soothe your pain
I've waited so long, did you know I was waiting for you
I didn't even know, that you were the one I was waiting
to get to know, please don't go
I recall the words the dark doppelgänger said,
"illusions of your past love will drown your new love dead"
the skyline began to rise, the city expanded rapidly
I've painted a picture, with many a stroke
each color a thought dream of when my heart broke
your love unbound in my heart can heal my soul
my lives unwound in your hands please sew them whole
I've waited so long, did you know I was waiting for you
I didn't even know, that you were the one I was waiting
to get to know, please don't go

The Hangman

Written by: Matt Berry
I couldn't sleep at nights then
Awoken by the faces of a thousand dead men
What kind of beast kills for pay?
I knew I'd go to hell on Judgement Day
But why should I be so sad?
The hours are good
And the money's not bad
I think of all the jobs I could've gone into
Sweeping up parts
Driving trains to Waterloo
I could've been a painter, or the world's greatest wit
I could've been a sailor, but the hat didn't fit
I'm a hangman
Take my hand, come with me...
It's okay, you'll be free...
Free as a bird now
wouldn't have a job cause i don't have the know how
count me out of your rat race
deal with this at a leisurely pace
so why do you shed a tear, come on
take my hand you got nothing to fear
I think of all the jobs I could've gone into
Sweeping up parts
Driving trains to Waterloo
I could've been a painter, or the world's greatest wit
I could've been a sailor, but the hat didn't fit
I'm a hangman
Take my hand, come with me...
It's okay, you'll be free...

Dusk
03:01

the last light of the day slowly sneaks out
and the night creeps in beneath me
I watch as the porch lights all come about
and become a vast burning sea
thoughts drift back to you and where we had been
earlier that day in the sunshine
afraid of your gaze, I knew it all too well
I looked through the leaves toward the street signs
the silence is humming as I'm slowly strumming
while in my head I work things through
the distant train rumbles my brain stumbles
I've done nothing wrong according to you
the light again through my window starts to fade
and my old friend the night rejoins me
It'll work out in the end but whose to say
somewhere under the sky we will be
