    I can't blame you but it's a shame
    you can't cover your ass sometimes.
    It's that kind of town and you're so far down you can't get up.
    I can't tell you what to sell and how to tow the line
    and when to just give up.

    Calling out to everyone who tried to run. You tried to run.

    Don't be so easy on yourself
    'cause this one might be all that you have left.
    Rearrange the voices in your head and remember what they said.
    Don't be so easy on yourself.

    You got it down, you been around
    and you won't change your life
    for redneck cops and traffic stops and residue
    but I can't tell you all the hell they'll put you through inside
    and what they'll do to you.

    Ten years down the road you'll find you're left behind. You're left behind.

    Don't be so easy on yourself
    'cause this one might be all that you have left.
    Rearrange the voices in your head and remember what they said.
    Don't be so easy on yourself.

    Calling out to everyone who tried to run. You tried to run.

    Don't be so easy on yourself
    'cause this one might be all that you have left.
    Rearrange the voices in your head and remember what they said.
    Don't be so easy on yourself....

    I will come to you in the daytime
    I will raise you from your sleep
    I will kiss you in four places
    As I go runnin' down your street

    I'll squeeze the life right out of you
    I will make you laugh and make you cry
    And we may never forget it
    As I make you call my name
    as you shout it to the blue, summer sky

    And we may never meet again
    So shed your skin lets get started
    And you will throw your arms around me

    I will come to you at nightime
    I will climb into your bed
    I will kiss you in 155 places
    As I go swimmin' round in your head

    I will squeeze the life right out of you
    I will make you laugh and make you cry
    And we may never forget it
    As I make you call my name
    as you shout it to the blue, summer sky

    And we may never meet again
    So shed your skin lets get started
    And you will throw your arms around me

    ...and you will throw your arms around me

    Pumping (My Heart)

    Oh I see you stare spiraling up there
    Into the center of my brain and baby come baby go
    And free the hurricane oh I go into the center of the airplane
    Baby gotta move to the center of my pain
    And my heart starts pumping my fists start pumping
    Upset total abandon upset you know I love you so
    Upset total abandon
    Oh I see you stare spiraling up there and oh
    Into the center of my brain and baby come baby go
    And free the hurricane oh I go into the center of the airplane
    Baby gotta box in the center of the ring
    And my heart starts pumping my fists start pumping
    Upset total abandon you know I love you so
    Total abandon oh I go into the center of the airplane
    Baby gotta go to the center of my brain
    And my heart starts pumping my fists start pumping
    got no recollection of my past reflection
    So I'm free to move in the resurrection
    My heart starts pumping my fists start pumping
    My heart pumping my heart pumping my heart pumping
    Coming in the airport coming in the sea coming in the garden
    Got a conscious stream coming in a washroom coming on a plane
    Coming in a force field coming in my brain and my heart
    My heart total abandon total abandon total abandon total
    Abandon total abandon total abandon total abandon
    Oh I go into the center of the airplane
    Baby gotta move to the center of my brain
    My heart

    this is from the san francisco band called WATERS. i saw them open up for nada surf last week and this was the song that they closed with. he completely unplugged his mic and his guitar and was completely acoustic and only asked the crowd to yell "FOREVER" only after he said it. i actually recorded it and once i post it on youtube i will post it here. turns out this is one of my all time favorite songs and i first heard it 5 days ago....funny how things like that happen...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03FIcf9K ... re=related

    Never thought to light a candle
    Never thought I had to gamble
    I was feeling Mickey Mantle... Wasted
    Driving up the one and frantic
    Turned into an old romantic
    I was sleeping in the attic... Waiting

    Can't nobody ever see
    Don't make a mess of me
    I aint too old to give a shit
    I can turn a train around
    I can take your country down
    I aint to young to regret


    Forever,
    Forever,
    Forever,
    I aint too young
    Forever,
    Forever,
    I aint too young
    Forever,
    Forever,
    I aint too young


    I was in New York living
    Waiting in the cold Thanksgiving
    Hoping I could ever dare to embrace it
    I can play a part uptown
    I can keep my nose on the ground
    Never thought I'd ever care just to face it


    Can't nobody understand
    I was just a foolish fan
    Taken to the edge just to see
    Who said your mother was right
    Who said your friends were just blind
    Who could tell you that I was free


    Forever,
    Forever,
    Forever,
    I aint to young
    Forever,
    Forever,
    I aint to young
    Forever,
    Forever,
    I aint to young
    Forever,
    Forever,
    I aint to young


    I was in New York living
    Waiting in the cold Thanksgiving
    Hoping I could ever dare to embrace it....





    edit to add, here is the video i recorded at old rock house in st louis on 6/25/12....turn up the volume since it is completely acoustic and unplugged.....

    Fade Away....Junior Byles

    He who seeks of only vanity
    And no love for humanity
    Shall fade away, fade away.

    He who checks for only wealth
    And not for his physical health
    Shall fade away, fade away.

    Though some believe in diamonds and pearl
    And feel like they're on top of the world,
    They shall fade away, hear what I say.

    The rich is getting richer every day,
    And the little that the poor man got it shall be
    taken away.
    Do you hear what I say? Yeah, hear what I say.

    The man who worships silver and gold
    Shall surely, surely, surely lose his own soul,
    Then fade away.

    The one who's always acting smart
    And don't carry no love in his heart
    Shall fade away.

    God is here and there and everywhere
    And he knows when you play the game unfair,
    So people beware, or else you fade away!
    Hey! Beware, or dare you fade away.
    You've gotta fade, gotta fade, gotta fade now.

    The rich is getting richer every day,
    And the little that the poor man got it shall be
    taken away.
    Do you hear what I say, hey? Hear what I say.

    The one who's always acting smart
    And forgetting to carry love in his heart
    Shall fade away.

    God is here and there and everywhere
    And his eyes, his eyes are watching you,
    You're gonna fade away, yeah, yeah,
    You're goin' to fade, fade, fade, fade away...
    Fade away... Yeah, yeah... !

    All the years combine
    They melt into a dream
    A broken angel sings from a guitar

    In the end, there's just a song
    Comes crying like the wind
    Through all the broken dreams and vanished years

    Stella blue

    When all the cards are down
    There's nothing left to see
    There's just the pavement left And broken dreams

    In the end, there's still that song
    Comes crying like the wind
    Down every lonely street that's ever been

    Stella blue

    I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel
    Can't win for trying
    Dust off those rusty strings just one more time
    Gonna make 'em shine

    It all rolls into one
    And nothing comes for free
    There's nothing you can hold for very long

    And when you hear that song
    Come crying like the wind
    It seems like all this life
    Was just a dream

    Stella blue

    Live and direct we comin' never pre-recorded
    with information that will never be reported
    disregard the mainstream media distorted
    whoop! whoop!
    we comin' listener supported

    Don't take no prisoners if can't afford to feed none
    don't start no fights if you can't predict the outcome
    don't make donations where you cannot get your dough back
    fuck the apathetic bullshittas send em' all your prozac
    I will not climb into your telephone tree
    and "hell no you can't put me on hold!"
    it's the same recorded message you'd been singin' all along
    keep handin' us the bible while you walkin' off with all the gold
    the bureaucratic office sends you merry-go-rounding
    while the KKK police the streets by blood hounding
    interest on the credit card just keeps on compounding
    but the FCC can neva shut this pirate sound down

    "Well there's something missing, but they won't drag the river
    God sends his children out into the street
    You can dig all you want, there's no buried hatchets
    Just bones on the table, burn-holes in the seats
    and I,
    I feel weary in the weight of these days"

    Up there
    There's a ball of fire
    Some call it the spirit
    Some call it the sun
    Its energies are not for hire
    It serves man it serves everyone
    The air we breathe
    The flame of wisdom
    The earth we grind
    The beckoning sea
    It's no mystery
    Not sentimental
    Ahh the equation
    It's all elemental

    The world is restless
    Heaven in flux
    Angels appear
    From the bright storm
    Out of the shadows
    Up there, down there
    But what can we say?
    Man's been forewarned

    Don't expect too much from my poor old heart
    You can blame me unforgiven for my scars
    You might just be the best that I can find
    But I can't seem to forget the tears I've cried



    I don't know that I will ever trust again
    It's a price I must pay for all my sins
    Time has changed me and left me full of doubt
    And my heart may be lost never to be found


    Once upon a time I did believe
    In my true love that swept me off my feet
    The wind of change swept him away
    And left me drowning in my own pain.....



    I don't know that I will ever love again
    It's a price that I must pay for all my sins
    Time has changed me and left me full of doubt
    And my heart may be lost never to be found

    Well, I know it's kind of late
    I hope I didn't wake you
    But what I got to say can't wait
    I know you'd understand
    'Cause every time I tried to tell you
    The words just came out wrong
    So I'll have to say I love you in a song

    Yeah, I know it's kind of strange
    But every time I'm near you
    I just run out of things to say
    I know you'd understand
    'Cause every time I tried to tell you
    The words just came out wrong
    So I'll have to say I love you in a song

    'Cause Every time the time was right
    All the words just came out wrong
    So I'll have to say I love you in a song

    Yeah, I know it's kind of late
    I hope I didn't wake you
    But there's something that I just got to say
    I know you'd understand
    'Cause every time I tried to tell you
    The words just came out wrong
    So I'll have to say I love you in a song

    Deep in my heart
    How the presence of you shines
    In a light to last a whole life through
    I recall the wonder of it all
    Each dream of life I'll share with you
    Sea returns to sea
    And sky to sky
    In a life of dream am I
    When I'm with you

    Forever near your light
    I'm always on your side

    Within your darkest night
    I'm always on your side
    They won't rush you from me

    I'm always on your side

    "Sleeping eyes please come clean
    I'm not giving you the third degree
    When you live with no man's time
    Ain't it hard to find some peace of mind
    Sleeping eyes don't you cry
    And don't pretend this is not an ending
    Your history, yes it seems
    Has been swept out with the leaves"

    "Losing My Way"
    Yeah... Hum... Yeah... Uh... Excuse me
    Hi my name is Bob and I work at my job
    I make forty-something dollars a day
    I used to be the man in my hometown
    Until I started to lose my way
    It all goes back to when I dropped out at school
    Having fun, I was living the life
    But now I got a problem with that little white rock
    See I can't put down the pipe
    And...
    It is breaking me down
    Watching the world spin round
    While my dreams fall down
    Is anybody out there?
    It is breaking me down
    No more friends around...
    And my dreams fall down...
    Is anybody out there?
    Can anybody out there hear me?
    'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
    Can anybody out there see me?
    'Cause I can't seem to see myself...
    There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
    Can you save me from this hell?
    Can anybody out there feel me?
    'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
    Losing my way
    Keep losing my way...
    Keep losing my way...
    Can you help me find my way?
    Losing my way
    Keep losing my way
    Keep losing my way...
    Can you help me find my way?
    Now you gotta understand I was a family man
    I would have done anything for my own
    But I couldn't get a grip on my new found itch
    So I ended up all alone
    I remember where I was when I got my first buzz
    See I thought I was living the life
    And the craziest thing is I'll probably never know the color of my daughter's eyes
    And it is breaking me down
    Watching the world spin round
    While my dreams fall down
    Is anybody out there?
    It is breaking me down
    No more friends around...
    And my dreams fall down...
    Is anybody out there?
    Can anybody out there hear me?
    'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
    Can anybody out there see me?
    'Cause I can't seem to see myself
    There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
    Can you save me from this hell?
    Can anybody out there feel me?
    'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.
    Losing my way
    Keep losing my way
    Keep losing my way
    Can you help find my way?
    Losing my way
    Keep losing my way
    Keep losing my way
    Can you help me find my way?
    Oh my God please forgive me (Father hear my prayer)
    'Cause I know I've done some wrong in this life
    If I could do it all again
    Have just one more chance
    To take all those wrongs and make them right
    Can anybody out there hear me?
    'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
    Can anybody out there see me?
    'Cause I can't seem to see myself
    There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
    Can you save me from this hell?
    Can anybody out there feel me?
    'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.
    Can anybody out there hear me?
    'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
    Can anybody out there see me?
    'Cause I can't seem to see myself
    There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
    Can you save me from this hell?
    Can anybody out there feel me?
    'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
    Losing my way
    Keep losing my way
    Keep losing my way
    Can you help me find my way?
    Losing my way
    Keep losing my way
    Keep losing my way
    Can you help me find my way?

    "In lonely gas stations with mini-marts
    You'll find rows of them for sale
    Liquor-filled statues of Elvis Presley
    Screw his head off and drink like a vampire
    His disciples flock to such a fitting shrine
    Sprawled across from his graceless mansion
    A shopping mall
    Filled with prayer rugs and Elvis dolls

    And I wonder
    Yeah I wonder
    Will Elvis take the place of Jesus in a thousand years"

    Baby, Darling, Doll Face, Honey
    No I don't mean to cause you worry
    It's only hands in my pocket
    And the Queen on my money

    Did you know I've been wanting you?
    so leave your locks on the latches
    If you bring the water
    I'll bring the matches

    'cause we are fires in the night
    We are fires in the night
    Let us bathe you in our light
    'cause we are fires in the night

    Come on get up Romeo
    Don't you know what the time is?
    It's the fall of rock 'n roll,
    That's what the news said

    Did you know I've been wanting you?
    so leave your locks on the latches
    If you bring the water
    I'll bring the matches

    'cause we are fires in the night
    We are fires in the night
    Let us bathe you in our light
    'cause we are fires in the night
    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....

    Into a clear lake
    No one around

    Just dragonflies
    Fantasize
    No one gets hurt
    You’ve done nothing wrong

    Slide your hand

    "One Voice"

    In the garden of consciousness
    In fertile mind there lies the dormant seed
    When blooming as charity
    Conscience breathes a sigh of relief
    The confessions of sleep
    The awakening seed
    Moved by love to serve
    We celebrate all
    Merit in life
    Ah, the confessions of sleep
    Unfolding peace
    As we extend
    According to need
    And you will hear the call
    All action great and small
    Received joyfully
    Heaven abounds
    Let love resound
    If he be mute
    Give him a bell
    If he be blind, an eye
    It he be down, a hand
    Lift up your voice
    Lift up your voice
    Lift up your voice
    Give of your mind one mind
    Give of your heart one heart
    Give of your voice
    One voice
