No Quarterback

I’m no quarterback
But I want you back
I said I came to play play play
I’m no ace of fools
I’m no rusting pool
You know I can make you sing
I’m no quarterback
But I want you back
I said I came to play play play
I’m no ace of hearts
I’m no rusting sack
You know I can make you sing
With your hands in your pants
And your pants on the crown
And the crown on your shoes
And your shoes in your socks
And those socks in your knees
And your knees on your waist
And your waist on your body
And your body and no one else’s
I’m no quarterback
But I want you back
I said I came to play play play
I’m no ace of hearts
I’m no rusting sack
You know I can make you sing
Turn on the minds
Turn on the magic
Turn on the minds
Turn off the engines
Turn on the minds
Turn off the engines

The Melody Must Die
03:03
|

|
Yes she smiles like Venus
Her fingers are close to the bone
And she walks like Venus
You’ve got to give it a try
You’ve got to give
Oh yeah
And if she should defeat us
Yeah she stands right on her own
The melody must die, the melody must die, oh no
Oh yeah

Forever I'm Your Man

We’re tryin’ to make it
Don’t try to fake this
Cuz all you know is all I said
All you know is all I said
We’re trying to make it
Cuz all you know is all I said
You know that forever I’m your man
Trying to make it, don’t try to fake it
Try to change
You know that forever I’m your man
All the way down to the pub
You know that forever I’m your man

In Love With a Limit
02:35
|
|||
|
I’m in love with a limit
I’m in love with a limit
I’m in love with a limit
As long as I don’t fall
I don’t believe I’m in love
I don’t believe I can see
Whether right or wrong
I’ll take the sympathy
I don’t believe I can sing
But that’s the rule of the day
Whether right or left I’ll have
The take away
I’m in love with a limit
I’m in love with a limit
I’m in love with a limit
As long as I don’t fall

Wandering Eyes
03:00
|

|
Wandering eyes, all men have
Yet the prose on their hands
Can’t do much for one another
For wandering eyes, they take a chance
Like a lonely bird sitting on a bench
With last night’s stench
Wandering eyes, they took me to yours
And I’m grateful for your eyelids didn’t close
My fingertips still getting moist
And suddenly, I couldn’t see anymore
For wandering eyes, they take a chance
Like a lonely bird sitting on a bench
With last night’s stench
Wandering eyes, they took me to yours
And I’m grateful for your eyelids didn’t close
My fingertips still getting moist
And suddenly, I couldn’t see anymore
And suddenly, I couldn’t see anymore

Why, oh why
Now they must all be mistaken
For I swear the words are written
Wide and large
And it is all that it has taken
Forgiven but not forgotten
Why, oh why
No they must all be mistaken
For I swear the words are written
You know what a lover needs
You know exactly what love can bring
And how many scars it can leave
When the con struck the construct
When the con struck the construct
When the con struck the construct
When the con struck the construct

The Song's No Hit
03:30
|
|||
|
I’ll take a second to reflect
On how to deflect my intellect
The venue is open
The stage is list
The guitars are tuned
But the song’s no hit
The venue is open
The stage is list
The guitars are tuned
But the song’s no hit
You’re the harvest, I’m the storm
You’re the harvest
You’re the harvest, I’m the storm
You’re the softest, I’m a stone
You know that where I sit is not far from where you were
You know that the song is no hit
Let me give you a hint

All Play
03:28
|
|||
|
What kind of love is it this time?
Never certain what you might
Encounter one of these days
On this new little pathway
That she built with the strength of her own hands
Even though she never understands
What it took to take it all away
It’ll be all work, yeah now it’s all play
I stand before the remains of the day
I stand before all the pride and the shame
I count the bricks on the wall of the old school
When no one thought one day you’d become cool
What you build with the strength of your own hands
Is what you better understand
What it took to take it this way
It’ll be all work, darling now it’s all play
I count the bricks on the wall of the old school
When no one thought one day you’d become cool
When no one thought one day you’d become cool
When no one thought one day you’d become cruel

Distortions
03:27
|
|||
|
All the ones that came before us
Where are they and what they say
As they see the new beginnings
As the old fade away

We May Overlap
03:13

All ways and forever
These are your words
For all that I know
We’ve got to keep it together
All ways and forever
If I, I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
If I, I’d told you, I’d told you
All ways and forever
All ways and forever
All ways and forever.
