lyrics by Rich Bozek and Mike Kemmlein

Fat Seeds

You got so many clever lines up in your head
so slap down sheet of paper, forcing ink from the pen
and it's you...it's alright

You think you just found a melody - scribble it down
and then you turn on the radio, hear the same sound
is it you?...it's alright

If I want a message
I'll stuff it down in the ground
The newsmen keep on calling
but I'm nowhere to be found

You're running out of the clever lines up in your head
And now you're fighting with the paper, strangling the pen
"are you...are you alright?"

You want to hide fuckin messages? You water it down,
fill it up with nonsense; it's making you drown
...and it's alright

Maybe you never get old
Maybe I'm needing some new eyes
because I'm so tired

If I want a message
I'll stuff it down in the ground
The newsmen keep on calling
but I'm nowhere to be found

John Galt Line

If you wanna go then just hit the road
If your breath puffs like it's cold
then don't forget your coat
If we live where it always snows
What happens to you when I go home?
when I go home...

If you wanna stay
you're gonna have to do a few things for me
Don't keep me up
stop tryin' tellin' stories when I'm tryin' to sleep
Put your clothes on
Start thinking what it'll be like when I'm gone
When I'm gone...

Don't stand next to me
and don't you try and hide
I've got manifest destiny
on my side

on my side...

Head West

My lady from the south:
Skinny as a stick and she thinks she knows what's good
If she asked me to take her and move away
bet my life I would

My old friend from the east:
We don't talk anymore
I remember when she said that the night was ours
now the moon makes her bored

When the girls come 'round
I'll stick around for a while
When the girls come 'round
They don't smile, oh no no
So just keep leaving

Oh jesus in the north:
Time to give me a sign or make me fall in line for good
If she asked me to take her and move away
I don't think I bet my life I could

When the girls come 'round
I'll stick around for a while
When the girls come 'round
They don't smile
Oh no no
So just keep leaving

Sour Song

I thought you were the one I knew
but clearly I was wrong
“Maybe just your point of view,"
says madam.
 
I’m sick of pretending
It's something I already know
 
The last three days were driving me wild
Some may say, why?
 
I thought I loved her but I was wrong
This lovely girl was made for someone else
 
I thought you were the one I knew
It turns out I was wrong
I tried to find the better you
but the recipe’s too long
 
It seems that your baking
was the sweetest part of you.
 
A long parade is clouding my mind
Left right left all night.
 
I thought I loved her but I was wrong
This lovely girl was made for someone else
 
You.
 
Wanted to be with me
Begged me to be with you
I can't believe I came up with the answer no

Never in Bed with Jenny

Light me up and count the days
Hold me down before you cut away
Fix me before its to late
Try to hold on but you hesitate
 
And I’m
Always on my way
Always on my way
 
You always wanted me
To go out an rage but
History’s been telling me
Some different things
 
Always on my way
Always on my way
 
My head is full of constant thought
Drop the phone and never pick it up
Quickly! I stew and I turn
Given 2nd chances
I don’t think I’ll ever learn
 
Because I’m
Always on my way
Always on my way
 
You always wanted me
To go out an rage but
History’s been telling me
Some different things
 
Always on my way
Always on my way
