You can't teach an old dog
much of anything
Oh, no
So here I lie
here I lie
Surrounded by the objects
that will carry me
Oh, oh
until I die
until I die
and you....
You will find me
dead in my comfort zone...
An indie band
with a 24 syllable name
Well...maybe...oh
but then again, then again
I'd rather stick an
ice pick in my brain
then endure one more
precious refrain
a precious refrain
and you.....
You will find me
dead in my comfort zone...
I'm not impressed
I'm not impressed
I'm not impressed
The future is here and I am not impressed
Everything these days make me so depressed
With Buproprion, ill will and Morrissey
rotting in my comfort zone is where you'll find me
Where you'll find me
And you will find me
dead in my comfort zone...
I'm not impressed
I'm not impressed
I'm not impressed

Let Me Bleed
03:32

How can there be no blood
with so much pain?
How can the sky be filled with clouds
without one drop of rain?
I'll take the car crash
I'll suffer the embolism
Anything to pull me
from this tortured state I'm in
Hit me
with some calamity
And let me bleed
let me bleed it out
Give me
some catastrophe
And let me bleed
let me bleed it out
How can there be such pain
without one drop of red?
How can the trauma be so severe
without the hospital bed?
I'll take the gun shot
I'll suffer the hematoma
Anything to pull me
from this tortured state I'm in
Hit me
with some calamity
And let me bleed
let me bleed it out
Give me
some catastrophe
And let me bleed
let me bleed it out
How can there be no blood
with so much pain?
how can the sky be filled with clouds
without one drop of rain?
Desperate times
take desperate measures
and let me bleed
let me bleed it out
Dirty men
seek dirty pleasures
And let me bleed
Let me bleed it out
Desperate times
take desperate measures
and let me bleed
let me bleed it out....

The hours and days
they have their way
so surreptitiously
Time is a river
that will one day deliver
the likes of you and me
We're running out of future
but to hell with that regret
So raise a glass and drink a toast
to the things you'd sooner forget
Here's to all
the bridges I have burned
Here's to all
the lessons gone unlearned
Socrates
if you please
it's wisdom that I crave
I've been wandering this life aimlessly
but still headed for the grave
Before I take another step
towards that muddy hole
I want to raise a glass
and drink a toast
to the things I can't control
Here's to all
the bridges I have burned
Here's to all
the lessons gone unlearned
Here's to all
the messes I have made
Here's to all
the things I am today
Here's to life
and here's to the end
Here's to what is now
and here's to what was then
And here's...
to you...
my friend
I've made some mistakes
or have they made me
I'd make them again
only more quickly
Here's to all
the bridges I have burned
Here's to all
the lessons gone unlearned
Here's to all
the the messes I have made
Here's to all
the things I am today
Here's to the shy
the sad and the gay
to those who had everything
and pissed it away
Here's to the weak
the meek and the poor
To those who question
what they're living for

This Married Life
04:37
|
|||
|
I've got a bone to pick
I've got a bone to pick with you
I've got an axe to grind
I want to grind it out with you
Resentments build
and feelings get hurt
but still I want to remove your skirt
I've got a bone to pick
I've got a bone to pick with you
Take a slice
of this of this of this married life
Take a slice
of this of this of this married life
I can see your point of view
when I'm on top of you
Are we more likely to agree
when you're on top of me?
Somehow together
somehow tonight
Here in this bedroom
we'll make things right
I've got a bone to pick
I've got a bone to pick with you
Take a slice
of this of this of this married life
Take a slice
of this of this of this married life
Now the slights and fights
don't mean a thing
when all you're wearing
is your wedding ring
The slights and fights
don't mean a thing
when all you're wearing
is your wedding ring
And if we
could bridge this space
Oh, the world would be a different place
the world would be a different place
the world would be a different place
the world would be a different place....
She said the way to her heart
is not through the bedroom
She said the way to her heart
is not through the bedroom
SHE SAID THE WAY TO HER HEART
IS NOT THROUGH THE BEDROOM
SHE SAID THE WAY TO HER HEART
IS NOT THROUGH THE BEDROOM

A Town Called Nowhere
04:39
|
|||
|
I drove the whole night through
left it all in my rear view
But I ended up
in a town called Nowhere
I had to get away
from what I cannot say
But I ended up in a town
called Nowhere
A lonely town of yesterdays
of empty streets and sad cafes
Those lights called out to me
blinded me to my misery
But I ended up in a town
called Nowhere
A lonely town of yesterdays
of empty streets and sad cafes
I had to get away
from what I cannot say
but I ended up in a town
called Nowhere
A lonely town of yesterdays
of empty streets and sad cafes
A lonely town of yesterdays
of empty streets and sad cafes
I drove the whole night through
left it all in my rear view
But I ended up
in a town called Nowhere

Eddie Japan Boston
".. a contagious attitude of doing it up, and doing it up right that you can hear in the carnival swirls of ultra-melodic pop, latin-flavored bravado and cinematic ‘70s UK rock."
