All of these comforts
All of these lies and fire pit philosophies
Hoping for answers
Talking with God
Stepping through tide pools
Barefoot, old oaks stretch to the sunlight
Skulls in the sandstone
Lay down on the moss
Maybe she just wants to see
Something out there just like me
In the sun
And ever lasting complex friendships
Skinny dipping in the sea
Friends or family, friends are family, friends or family?
Maybe it’s over, maybe it’s not
Something you built up, then simply forgot…what to do!
I never said, I love you too

I love a good college town
Half finished books just laying around
And some melatonin on my tongue
I just want to sit here and
Watch something dumb
It’s how you killed the day; living in a place like this
I severed all my ties
With all the stupid things that
Went wrong in my life..
And I took a trip with some friends
Somebody joked: “That’s how America ends,”
It’s how you killed the day; living in a time like this
Melody put on a show
I promised her, I promised her, I promised I’d go!
Everyone talked through her songs
Everyone talked through her songs
It’s how you killed the day; living out a life like this

Cloud Hotel

I have hardly known your voice
And you have hardly seen the world
Or those who live in it
You were always on my mind
And I was always in your thoughts
Or dancing beside you
I was so in love with you
On the floor I said these words
My knees they had buckled
So keep it inside the Cloud Hotel

Perfect life, we’ll make it happen
Haven’t seemed to get there yet
Peace of mind
Happens all the time
I will never place that bet
Settle down
Settle down
I supported what you went through I believed you all along
Peace of mind
Like a cup of cheap wine
A polluted kind of love
Settle down
Settle down
Tell him lies and then he’ll quit
Maybe he’ll get over it
But I’ll be around

Baby's breath on diamond shoes
I never lose, I never lose...
I don't care
I don't mind
All that she told me and all that I heard
Look to the sky
That's blocked out by the birds
You don't love
You can't find
Babies in the crow's nest
All out of reach from their mothers
Who sacrifice wings and dive bomb the world

Mother Theresa is dead, her mother Theresa is dead
I arrive late to the wake and borrow my brother in law’s sports jacket
Funeral home, holding her tightly arm in arm
Walking around this weird museum trying to find the body
We go up some stairs but a sign hanging there says: “Staff Only”
Around, around, around, around
There she is
She’s so small
Made of wax
Not scary at all Smiling
The coffin glows
You kiss your thumb
You touch her lips
You let her go
She can’t hurt you now
We walk outside
My uncle says
She looked beautiful
What a job they did
The sun is out
Awkward photograph
Of us on the lawn
in cul-de-sac
Give the sports jacket back
The baby cries
I say my goodbyes

Lately I’ve been dreaming up a storm
Oh life’s like that, blackberry thorns
Trees are bending
Trees are dead
Pink moon, jet trails.. that blaze across my head
Father left me in the leaves
Gentle boughs of cedar branches on the beach
Her eyes are black and sea foam green
Oh life’s funny and she’s always been
…..waiting, waiting
Lately I’ve been living through this storm
But you’re clipping back the sharper thorns
Burning coffee in a can
In your nightgown barefoot on your land
Found you sleeping all alone
Book half open on the bed like a stone
You whisper something in your sleep
“Oh you’re funny,” you just keep
…waiting, waiting

And you held me in your arms and...
Five crows sat with their eyes closed
On the branches of the Deodora

Anxious Love Pt. 2
02:14
|

|
And they tried to live both lives
Impossible for them to do that right?
And the clock ran out of time
Impossible, when there was no more light
Their bodies close and their hearts
Through the windows they stared
At the blank wall that’s not there
And then she said in despair
Anxious love, anxious love

Dirty Spoons

Sometimes a mountain
Won’t climb itself
Sometimes a novel
Collects dust on a shelf
I loved you then for those reasons
Walking down Lakewood
Alone in your thoughts
I’m glad that you left him
You’re glad that you’re not
Alone together in that apartment
Two Americanos
Two dirty spoons
I sat there thinking
Thinking about you
I loved you then in that season
The bride should get all the glory

Surfer's Ear

I cut my finger on an oyster shell
That I skipped across the beach
Found a maple leaf to wrap it in
The cut was pretty fucking deep
Walking back I’m bleeding out
Like dripping ice cream in the heat If I fainted here right now
Would find me in the trees?
I believe that shit would go away
How did I forget the dumb cliche
Was is it so hard for me to say I love you?
That’s when I got close to heartless
But she harbours a desire to do good things
Where it’s possible to navigate by feel

Spilling Yr Guts
02:52
|
|||
|
When you told them everything
How much lighter it seemed
Cherished what was possible
hours in the slipstream...
Always seemed to get what they wanted
Always seemed to push them away
Then you dropped the money on something
Scratching all the tickets that way
Only want a winner today
And they said, “Impossible!”
For you to pour out the wine
Can’t they jump on someone else?
Can’t they make up their minds?
Spilling your guts on the sidelines
Spilling your guts on the stage
When you’ve got fuck all inside you
You’ll finally have something to say

Push it away
Push it aside
Push it around
Back to our love
I didn’t care
I didn’t care
I didn’t care
Back to our love
I didn’t mind
I didn’t mind
I didn’t mind
Back to our love
Can’t you see what’s wrong with me?
I did not do what everyone would believe
For us to go on For us to go on For us to go on
Back to our love
Can’t be the same
Back to our love
But you didn’t mind
Back to our love

Did someone make her sad?
No it was some bad ad
Wet cigarette that’s in the light of the moon
Used to be beautiful
Now he’s just suitable
He’s in his cubicle
The boss coming soon
Oh the pressure
To communicate it all with
It’s a matter of opinion
It’s a matter of a license / lifetime (Priceless / Mindless)
They’re so high brow
Life coach inside her says
Nouveau riche tend to spread
Warm soda on their beds
on cool afternoons
Keep all the fortune there
Keep all the fortune square
Keep all the fortune there so no-one assumes

Say, what’s new?
Tell them what really has to happen
Show them all
Tell them what really has to happen
Old lies
Old lies
Sell it all
Make sure you find your truth in fiction
Who needs hope?
My eyes they seem to see the friction.
Whole lives
Whole lives

I still love what I do and
I still wake up early every day
She’s got a thesis
says the world is in pieces
But I know...
I still love and adore her I still love and adore her
But I wanted more
Two hearts
But she wanted more
Two hearts
Oh they both want someone to love
And they wanted more
And they wanted more
Two hearts

All these lies will be disguised as something weird or something new
But I’ll be singing, I’ll be dreaming! You’ll be half asleep it’s true and..
Even though, life moves so slow
Even though that heartache will not work...wild west countries!
Holy shit you painted it
with me in mind and I’m a fool
cuz I was dreaming you were singing
You grew up without it all and...
Half my songs are secret disses
Half my songs are sneaky kisses
Half my life I’ve been in love with you
He got more experimental as he aged
(less sentimental?)
Normally things don’t work out this way, hey?

I’m not searching for the ways
That’ll get me high
I’m not listening to you now
From the brother of a philistine
Who stole all the pieces of his crown
And I’ll believe
What I’ll believe
And although they said it
They’ll never, come back home
Maybe I’m not coming back!
I’m not wasted on a life that will you by I’m not listening to you now
All the people that will give up their seats for free
All the spaces that are found
Maybe he’s not coming back
They’re not coming back
She’s not coming back
I’m not coming back

Gentlemen go to heaven
She said as I hopped on the seven
Cigarettes to spare
White table wine
Take her arm
Brush her shoulder
I need help now that I am older
Every single day, every single time
And you've got to carry it
Burned out from the same old shit
Can you tell which one's a lie?
Take her hand
Now it's smaller
She picks flowers and I can call her
In a life like mine in a love like mine
Paint your teeth and I love that style
Paint your lips and I love that style
Paint your face and I love that style
Paint your eyes and I love that style
Always the lie that keeps me interested
Always the lie that keeps me happy
I'll be happy

I severed all of my ties
With all the things wrong with my life
I took a trip with some friends
Like a boxer’s glove it sank right in
And it opened up my mind
It opened my mind
I climbed inside
What’s wrong with us?
My friend she put on a show
You promised that you would go
Everyone talked through her songs
I didn’t talk through her songs
And she climbed inside my mind
Climbed inside my mind
And won’t get out
What’s wrong with her
La la la la...

Pretend what you’re doing
Has any meaning
How can you toast without some pain?
Combing through beaches
For glass and arrowheads
A rain forest dies without the rain
But are you like..
Everyone else that gets drunk sometimes? And..
I suppose somebody’s got to wear emperors clothes (x2)
But mine don’t look right
His mother was doing
The best that should could with
The palm of Christ growing in her mind I got off this island
But she was confined and somebody said that love goes blind
But are you like..
Everyone else that gets drunk sometimes? And
I suppose, island kids always wear stranger clothes (x2)
But mine don’t fit right

Hearing this was like discovering 70s Dylan or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet strikingly original, the songs are immediately enjoyable and melodies get stuck in your ear for days. Daniel Romano is authentic. He borrows and transforms.The Outfit are a cracking band. Raw though sophisticated, sincere yet sly. This is one I'll keep coming back to.
