Simple Like 03:08
Simple Like SOCAN/BMI/Radiolatte, 2005 Key Eb / BPM 108 I drank myself outta sight tonight In plain view, out frame not focused right I was drifting around ten thousand kites Tied to a hundred bike Ya know, you really can’t change anyone And when you try, they change into someone That you can never really rely on With life: best to keep it simple-like I drove myself out of town last night Up to the hills, where the city’s craze seems foreign-like The radio played and the air was nice Answers bathed in light You know you really can't ever trust anyone Even yourself, you’ll change under pressured thumb Regretted words that stray from our tongue With life: best keep it simple like Bridge: So come on, let’s get this party started Let’s get it right from the start Lights, camera, passion, art Lets get it all in before the lights go dark Come on, come on let’s get this party sparked Guitar solo - over verse chords Ya know, you can’t really change anyone And when you try, they change into someone That you can’t ever really rely on With life: best to keep it simple like

The Only Enemy Radiolatte, 2005 KEY G Esteemed speakers, reasoned in secrets Elevators plush rugs Lies lacquered, recorded backwards Cocaine and cognac and a rub and a tug Strange favours, asked and then persuaded All muscled and tongued Assbackwards but poised like actors Like the best kung-fu overdubbed, well.. The only enemy is time (Tick tock time is the master) The only enemy is time (Time flies and only gets faster) Colours or quizzes which are you after? Esthetically pleasing or little abstractions of disaster? The who, what, where and why, that’s what Im after To get to the studs I need to cut through the plaster, no.. The only enemy is time (Tick tock time is the master) No the only enemy is time (Time flies and only gets faster) Cover up your watches no more sunshine (Tick tock time is the master) No. the only enemy is time (Time drinks and lies like a bastard) (bridge) But, if it would just standstill Id get a clean shot thrice One in the chest and one in each eye Ive got the time, so ive gotta try (G – Head-Intro) The only enemy is time (Tick tock time is the master) Murder the minutes so the hours can’t fly (Time flies and only gets faster) Uncover your windows now its time (Tick tock time is the master) No the only enemy is time (Time drinks and lies like a bastard)

500 Up 03:59
500 Up SOCAN/BMI/Radiolatte, 2005 Key E / BPM 86 You and me standing by the sea You and me we’re fleeting You and me wade into the sea And we wade so far that we’re fading From the beach they’re all frantically waving You and me swimming in the sea You and me burning You and me singing in the sea The search lights they lay scheming They search so hard but nothing Long yellow light Long into night And the clouds hang lazily all day Sweet brown skin Cool to my grip All of the lovers hang lazily and they dream of never leaving (x2) We’ll my friends we’re leaving (Bridge) So I, suggest that maybe you back up, way up Cause here comes my 500 up Hey kids, come on well Promise me that you’ll never grow up Cause here comes my 500 I suggest that maybe you back up You and me drowning in the sea So peacefully sinking Like capsized whales that land, lay and flail While down the coast their families are breeding. With all the nets set buoyed and waiting. Death’s last nail, comes hammering down the sails And the winds last gusts are fading The songs sit stale just waiting to inhale They listen so hard for breathing They search so hard...but nothing Long yellow light Long into night And the clouds they hang lazily all day Sweet brown skin Cool to my grip And all of the lovers hang lazily and they dream of never leaving (3X) We’ll my friends we’re never leaving

Lobbing Bombs Radiolatte, 2004 Key F / Dm / BPM 75 He says he use to have friends But now they don’t come around Says he use to get out But now won’t leave the house The phone use to ring Says now he’s pretty sure it’s broke Sometime it’s hard to breathe Thinks his heart’s filled with smoke The pictures on the tube They look good enough for life for him Channels full of friends; a little satellite family Let’s see lets see, tonight’s hype Breath takingly beautiful people and a co-star wife And if you stop by, you know he’ll probably be home But if you don’t well that’s all right, he’ll just sit by the phone Just him and his knife Chorus To hell with lobby let’s lob bombs (Come on; come on let’s get this war on) Tired of talking, lets breakout the arms (Come on; come on let’s get this war on) To hell with lobby let’s lob bombs The time for talking’s gone Come on, come on, come on primetime needs a bomb He says he use to believe But now is far more devout If his faith is to lead All other need to get out Yet they’re the same A single shout out Sometimes it’s hard to believe When your eyes are shut in With all the lies your mouth Chorus Bridge You just sink a couple submarines Up into the Arctic’s char And get’em lost like pixies in the Arctic’s art They hide like thieves in garden parks And when the sun goes down, and they mug old ladies hearts Chorus Out on: We fucked-up Vietnam Let’s get Iran Iraq hid the bombs And a cel phone hung Saddam Come-on, come-on prime time needs a bomb Come-on, come-on we all need something on Come-on, come-on prime time needs a bomb

Wonderful Times (w Wonderful People) SOCAN/BMI/Radiolatte, 2006 KEY Gm Ashes of travel Atlantic and astral Winds in the jet-stream lane Airplanes by great lakes London by long trains Wish we were back with you again (intro) Ide Hill to Norfolk London then Soho Piccadilly on to the Thames Hearts in the rafters Underground chatter To the North Sea waves But the wings, on planes, guarantees that it can happen again So to you our friends, we thank-you and commend: For all the wonderful times, with wonderful people With love in our hearts we wait for the signals Maybe in Cairo/Ghana/Russia, but maybe in Cleveland/Kingston/Geneva With tears in our eyes, we wait for the sequel Memories move faster Away ever after It starts to fade but it’s saved Lanes shifting faster Speeding by pastures Wish we were back with you again Chorus (x2) Bridge(X2)

Grassfire 04:30
Grassfire Socan/BMI/ Radiolatte, 2005 Key Db / BPM 60 Fireworks display In a backfield, on a hot day So dry the grass can’t take it The smokes plumes rise, the whole town is shaded Ivan loves to watch it burn Ivan won’t learn Grassfire, just to gain her gaze Razed by flames, charred and changed So far back the fire trucks can’t get it All there is to do is stand around tryin’ to forget it, all cause Ivan love to watch it burn (Smoke plumes high) Ivan loves to watch her turn (Smoke plumes high) The whole town comes to watch it burn Daylight, in the middle of the night All cause Ivan won’t learn (Chorus) All he can do is burn And yearn for the nerve But then the flowers confer And the flames burn all the words So that Ivan can’t learn That it’s her, her that makes him burn

Sundumb 03:26
Sundumb SOCAN/BMI/Radiolatte Jan, 2005 Key F / BPM 138 Cold snowy rain, sleets down as I board And the cold steel frame, idles ready in the north South on rails, night times bar car Drunk like winos half lit in the park We sing all night cause we want Sun on our arms, tans on our hearts Sundumb like the stars Before the sun comes up We’re on the beach with our boards And the sun peeks in, hell we feel love and adored Late afternoon rain drives every one indoors Good time to rest up, bonfires under stars We sing all night cause we want Sun on our arms, tans on our hearts Sundumb like the stars Instrumental Bridge Solo (Coda) We Sing all night cause we want sun on our arms Tans on our hearts, sundumb like stars I can’t, I try I want to stay away But the stars make the waves come back everyday (coda x 2)

New Man 04:28
New Man SOCAN/BMI/Radiolatte, 1999 Key D / BPM 122 Like a tongue tied parrot Who swings and stutters all day Polly's no pigeon but a junkie With a saltine craze I feel the same way, useless A carbon copy of a friend A one way conversation Tears and tissues not a man How come you call me cheap and ignant” What can I do with such names? Except construct my own oasis And imagine it all away I was told to put in what ever I wanted out So I put myself in, you kicked my ass out If I was different could you love me then? Cause I could take these tears and tissues Into a new man Into a good man. Into a good man Into a good new man into a good.. Like some undercover FBI agent So smart I’m using my own name A little reverse confusion Im not a man Im just a frame You recognize a feature You string it together with a name You realize that’s loser Except maybe Ive changed Into a shape shifting drifter In a covert mission of a maze Not really Im largely convoluted De-constructed by your gaze. Chorus

The Boat 02:33
The Boat SOCAN/BMI/Radiolatte, 2006 Key C / BPM There’s a boat Waiting in the river A boat that’ll take you home Push out Into the evening Goodbye to the ones you love Take care Love to the others Who traveled on early boats When you’re there Please be my pigeon To your leg, I have tied my note Chorus: What Happens to all of the love? What happens to all of the pain? What happens to the thing in our hearts/cars? Will it happen again and again and again? Tell me please The secrets of the seasons When the window’s open and the cold winds come That song we’ll hear When we’re all leaving A melody that’ll haunt our run Chorus Bridge - Be free There’s a boat Waiting in the river A boat that’ll take you home Slip out into the ether Good bye to the ones we love (x4) We won’t forget the ones we’ve loved (x3) Good bye to the ones we love

Pablo’s Habits SOCAN/BMI/Radiolatte, 2006 Key Cm/BPM 74 Pablo’s habits They got him scorned But he learned his lessons Now he shoots “porn” Out in his car Alone in the streets Artistically broke A genius in need Maybe you’ve heard of ‘Lost Love’? Well it was burned to CD In it, the coal lamps dampen Because of sweat and debris And all the fingers in soil From above and beneath Lovers digging Never to reach But from above: are the, bells ringing, or do we just keep digging? The plot thickens When Pablo tightens his belt And the zeros and ones Start to feel like felt He screams you’ll live in my heart There’s no need for a key Cause the door is an ocean And that ocean is me Chorus x2 The oxygen’s faint And they all start to bleed All the long stares deepen Because the miners see The flashlights, looks like Some kind of studio B Nope just a zephyr, out on the street Empty but Pablo, amid scene three Chorus X6
