What's wrong with wasting time?
You've got nowhere to go
There's nowhere we can be
There's nothing you should know
A spider on a leaf
Hangs clinging from a tree
That stands upon a hill
And looks out to the sea
My arms are waiting
To shield the wind that blows

In the Dome of Your Head

In the Dome Of Your Head
Do you recall what I said?
In the dome of your head
Do you swallow what you're sold?
All those things you've been told
Half truths half lies
Fragments & compromise
Pretence pretext
Your words out of context
Do you recall what I said?
In the dome of your head.
Travel backwards into time
Days have promise hours chimed
A million blossoms kiss the earth
A million deaths a million rebirths
Why then don't you yet understand?
The truth that sits in the palm of your hand
Travel backwards into time
Days have promise hours chime..
Cast a wide net & reel in your past
Your deeds are impressive
Your influence vast
Just consider in your blackest of moods
The impossible thought
Of a world without you
Indulge me now or I'll burst your head open
Your pencil has lead but your fingers are broken
The words on your lips
They are there to be spoken
It's LOVE..

Resurrection Mary

He drinks in the bar room
He leans in the corner
The smoke starts to clear
He looks up he sees her
Resurrection Mary
So cold & scary
Don't you run from me now
Stay with me now
Her blue eyes & black hair
Her pale skin & cold stare
He's calling he needs her
She's falling he sees her
Resurrection Mary..
Resurrection I love you..
They're dancing
He held her
He wanted her with him forever
Though Mary's eyes they look right through him
He said I'll drive you home safely
Well she grabbed his shirt now
She said 'stop the car'
She just ran out of his life
Into resurrection graveyard
Resurrection I love you
Resurrection..
Someone saw a girl dressed in white
Locked inside the gate
Someone saw Jerry dancing with a girl
Heading for another stay
Someone left their prints
Up on the bars of the graveyard
Well Mary was that you?
Resurrection..

Sing You Are Alive
05:28
|

Let your tears fall down
And finish what you came to say
You're tired & you seem to be caught up in something
Through the onslaught of a razor edged & frenzied day
You clutch a faded satin flower
And the reasons seem unclear
And the reasons seem obscure
But I..
I..
I..
Cos you oughta be in that film
Life was never meant to be easy
All cut & dried
Promises were made to be denied
You can scratch your eyes
And pull your hair out by the roots
You see time
Time is on your side
I..
I..
You oughta be in that film
Close the door behind you
Don't forget first left on Pain Street
Tinsel town
Ask the girl behind the desk for file 175
A chemical reactionary
Where they teach you how to be
Like a man in file 103
Make you into some great pillar of society
Well I'd hate you being like that
But you oughta be in that film
Sing you are alive
Sing your song to me
You oughta be in that film

Fired

Day breaks
It was another day
Like any day before
Hard times
Had half a mind
To spend it on the floor
Come home
Yeah you should see what you missed..
Truth is
I wanna take
I wanna give
Look close
I wanna show
You how I live
Come home
Yeah you should see what you missed..
Put your eyes back in your sockets
Let your fingers do the walking
Stand up
Kick back
Anti-climax a gift occurs
Swallow or burst
Sign out sign on
Where did you come from
I line a thought
A loophole in the law
And we're climbing
Onwards upwards
Inwards to the peak
To the top
To the start of the decline
Into outer space
Inner space
Deansgate to St Petersgate
Bloodied sullied
Angry worried
And Fired..
Learning
Are you gonna eat it up
Or throw it all away?
Are you gonna spit it out
Or keep a sullen face?
Come home
Yeah you should see what you missed..

Goodbye Mr Simpson

Goodbye Mr Simpson
It's been a pleasure knowing you
We were kindred spirits
I knew what you went through
In the day you loved a woman
In the night you loved a man
You might have been accepted
In any other town
But not here
We don't hear..
Goodbye Edgar Alan
It's been an education knowing you
A lifetime in a stupor
I can identify with you
You have faced nocturnal demons
You chased unrequited love
You might have been accepted
But you were never good enough
But not here
We don't hear..
For them that go without
For them that live in doubt
For them that never stood a chance
For them that never lost
Hopefully they've given up hope..
Goodbye sugar baby
Goodbye honey pie
Just keep talking nonsense
And hopefully you'll die
You might rubbish all our efforts
You might murder our ideas
You can peddle your corruption
But you will never see a tear
Not here
We don't hear..
For them that go without..
Goodbye sugar baby
Goodbye honey pie
Just keep talking nonsense
And hopefully you'll die
In the day he loved a woman
In the night
He loved a man

Can't Raise the Dead
03:58
|

|
You were talking to somebody
About something you were told
You were talking like baby
You were feeling feeling old
Listen to the voice
Missing all the points
Polishing the trophies again
As you jostle for position
And almost buckle from the strain
Your belly's in knots
Your feet feel like lead
It's hard to accept that you can't raise the dead..
In remembrance of a memory
You remembered that name
And he honoured that achievement
By suggesting a game
Let's all have a vote
Who's the odd one out
Who will be the winner of a prize
And you knew you were the loser
Before they even rolled the dice
There's endless repeats
Going round in your head
It's hard to accept that you can't raise the dead..
You were warm when the sun filled the sky
You left tracks in the sand by the seaside
You washed dishes and you wiped them dry
You were gone in the blink of an eye
And I didn't't even get to say it
It's hard to accept that you can't raise the dead..

See You later
06:21

See you later I'm away
About to make the great escape
And leave you leaning on the car
Seemingly knowing who you are
And you don't always convince me
And you don't always convince me
Hello you better wake up
Or you might find yourself in different places
Yeah..
I don't care about the way
The golden sunlight bathes your face
And I don't care about your eyes
You hair your lips & all the lies
You don't always convince me
And you don't always convince me
Hello you better wake up
Or you might find yourself in different places
Yeah..
Anxious times lie ahead
You thought you'd feel around instead
To see what life can offer up
You don't deserve your shocking luck
You had to bear
Yeah..
Nothing seems as it seems
When you're dreaming..
Of a house
On a road
As you turn to gold
On a road in a town
As you turn..
Turn around
Stand up & face me..
Hello you better wake up
Or you might find yourself
In different places
Yeah..

The End
04:09
|

And when I sleep at night
I will find you in my dreams somewhere
You watched me wait for this
I was that figure in the swirling mist
And I still will be here
Even though you're not here with me
We tried and we failed
That is so hard to say
It's the truth all the same
I'll bring you flowers
When it's spring I hope you'll think of me
I will bring a smile
you'll be sure to never see me cry
If we look we can see
All our lives stretching out ahead
We gave all we had
'Til we had nothing left
Time takes care of the rest
And then the rain came down
But we sang anyhow..
Find a peace of mind
I hope that you can stand and face the world this time
And I'll walk a different way
But you'll hold my heart until the final day
The tears that we shed
Are the tears that will save the world
When nobody cared there would always be you
There must always be you

Once you're Committed
06:52
|

Once you're committed
You can't turn back
Gotta make your decision
And make it fast
Gotta make your decision
And make it fast
Cos once you're committed
You can't turn back
When you're born you're born
And when you die you die
Yours was not to understand
Yours was not to question why
Better men than you were born
And better men have tried
To work it out
They couldn't work it out no
Cos once you're committed
You can't turn back..
When you come you go
And when you go you come
You should not be criticised
For things you haven't done
Better men were victimised
'Til they slowly came undone
They tried to work it out
They couldn't work it out no
Once you're committed
You can't turn back..
Once you're committed
You can't turn back..
You can't turn
You can't turn back
No more..

What is there left to say?
When you've said everything
That there is to say
Except to say it all again
Where does it all stem from?
Where is it leading to?
Is a life a circular thing?
Or will it be concluded?
Why should I care for things
That I haven't seen?
Why should I be for people
Who can't be for me?
Is there a basic flaw in my chemistry?
So what if there is!
What if I never find
What I think I want?
What if I never want
What I think i found?
What if my head explodes?
What if my mind expands?
What if I just sit down
And refuse to stand?
What is there left to say..?

An excellent take on droll and downcast indie rock with unexpectedly sparkly elements from this Philadelphia group.

Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is.
