A Silly Little Time
02:25
|

Disregard directions, disobey commands
Seedbomb every fallow space you find
Take the road less traveled, do it while you can
And have yourself a silly little time
Running ever forward, without a single care
Never looking back at what’s behind
Paint with every color, with flowers in your hair
Have yourself a silly little time
Knives and broken bottles, glinting in the fire
Pour yourselves another drink of wine
Dancing in the ashes behind the razor wire
Have ourselves a silly little time
Philosophy and folly, tenderness and smut
Anything you want here you can find
It seems a contradiction, and yes it’s nothing but
It’s what we call a silly little time

Sticky Fingered Baby

Sticky fingered baby, you’re my girl
To make you mine I’d borrow all the world
Your fingers are so sticky baby, your pockets are so deep, that’s why I love you
You’ve still got so much to borrow before we get to sleep, there’s a security cam above you
That five-finger discount won’t expire, as long as we’re together, you and I
Don’t give target money, honey, we’re in deep now for lovely night
Sticky fingered baby, you’re my girl
To make you mine I’d borrow all the world
We shop local, steal from corporate, that’s the way we do it, baby and I
We put our money where our mouths are, screw you if you outsource to Shanghai
Nimble as a rabbit is my baby, and I’m the one who drives
Once we’re done and had our fun, we never feel more alive
Sticky fingered baby, you’re my girl
To make you mine I’d borrow all the world
Sticky fingered baby, you’re my girl
To make you mine I’d borrow all the world

Summer Camp Love Song
03:41
|

|
Caught a glimpse of your raven hair and shapely porcelain thighs
Smelled your perfume everywhere and much to my surprise
Usually, I do admit I don’t get smitten quite like this
But I wanna drown in your deep sapphire eyes
Saw you there at the swimming hole sunbathing in the nude
I kept my eyes averted cause I know that staring’s rude
But my mind was reeling from the ecstasy I should be feeling
Lying on the dirt right next to you
Whip me with your eyelashes, bathe me in the campfire ashes
Spit on me and tell me that it’s rain
Tie me up in para-cord, and play with me til you get bored
Give me all the pleasure through the pain
I burned my hand on the propane stove and sought out your first aid
You gave me aloe vera cream and powdered lemonade
I saw the deep concern inside your sparkling eyes, your love was burning
Hotter than my hand that summer day
Cut me with your Bowie knife and strike me blind with your flashlight
My sleeping bag will keep the wolves at bay
Chain me to the cabin floor and close the blinds and lock the door
Don’t bother us until the break of day
Drastic times need drastic measures
Summer will not last forever
Simple minds need simple pleasures
Help me pitch my two-man tent and stay the night, I won’t charge rent
Help me turn this ember into flame
Rest your head upon my shoulder, and promise me we won’t get older
Embroider handkerchiefs with both our names

The King (Live)
04:54
|
|||
|
The king prefers to sit alone
Out of the range of the spray and the foam
and his hounds and his men might come hunting once again
But never shall they ever venture to take him from home
From clay he shaped his humble throne
With his callused hands he called it his own
And those traitorous waves steal it time, time and again
They'll keep on pushing him farther up into the stone
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
His beard is great, and his hands are cold
His crown is dented and his boots have grown mold
But he sings with a passionate voice, made for a wren
It's the most beautiful song that a mortal could ever behold
It goes "Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai"
No queen shall stand beside his throne
He will have no children to call his own
But the song that he sings intertwines with the fate of all men
The song that he's singin', he'll forever sing it alone
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
He's packed his bags, and he's ready to go
His time has come and lord, I think that he knows
And I shake for I shall never see him, ever again
But oh, my king, you prefer to go it alone

Pretty Kitty
02:34
|
|||
|
I want you, you want me
Without us I would be floating out at sea
Without a lighthouse there to guide me home
You’re pretty, I’m smitten
I’m cream and you’re the kitten; come sit on my lap
Purr and let me know I’m not alone
You’re cute and so vicious
You’re feisty, delicious
When you’re acting tough
You know that I can never have enough
You want it, you get it
Although you regret it
If your tummy aches
You know I’ll put the brakes on everything
Pretty kitty, when you’re with me
Everything’s alright
Everything is easy, pisi, lean in baby, come and kiss me
Let’s keep each other warm tonight
You’re Cleopatra
I’m the sphinx
And I don’t care what people think
You’re catnip to me
So rake me with your claws like your favorite tree
Your dress is
Just purr-fect
I’d give you everything ‘cause you’re worth it
What a lovely smile
As we’re walking down the aisle, oh baby
Mrs. Kitty, you’re so pretty
I’m so glad you said you would be mine
Pretty baby, how I love you
I’d give the moon and stars above you
Now that we’re together all the time

What a night for a knife fight
Steal away from prying eyes
One on one, two on two,
Three Vs. three? That's what we’ll do
Get your guys and I’ll get mine
We’ll have ourselves a real good time
Sticks and stones breaking bones
Don’t you dare come alone
No to guns, yes to knives
We’ll be dancing for our lives
What a night for a knife fight
Steal away from prying eyes
Where and when, what and why
Surely not, it wouldn’t fly
There and then, that’s the spot
An abandoned parking lot
Flashing blades, glinting eyes
Wounded men have awful cries
Not a reason, not a rhyme
Have ourselves a silly time
What a night for a knife fight
Steal away from prying eyes
What a night for a knife fight
We’ll be laughing as we die

Midsummer's Love
02:17
|
|||
|
Oh my brothers, gather round me
Let us hail midsummer’s eve
May the joyousness surround thee
Wear our hearts upon our sleeves
Let us dance until the morning
Let us laugh until we cry
Let our voices ring together
Underneath midsummer sky
Oh my sisters and my brothers
We are whole, and we are one
We will always have each other
Underneath midsummer sun
Now the evening falls upon us
And the stars burn bright above
Let the fire shine ever brighter
Brighter still, midsummer’s love

Cigarette Summers
03:35
|
|||
|
Airplanes circling overhead, I’m falling, falling
Waking up to you in bed, I’m falling in love with you
August twenty-seventeen, what a time to be alive
When your blue looked in my green, the apples of our eye
Passion burns like cigarettes, smoked on down and we forget
Light another one with me, my dear
Memories in the ground interred, but the tenderness you stirred
Within me lasts a thousand years

Follies (Touch Grass)
03:37
|
|||
|
Smut, smut, nothing but
You’ll land yourself in quite a rut
Staring at a screen for all the day
Now, what’s that on your computer, scooter?
Looks a little tutti-fruiter
Come outside, and see what’s on display
There’s a great big world out there
It’s made for everyone to share
Put away your toys away and come explore
There’s ice cream, and cool rocks to find
There’s pretty girls and summer wine
Everything you’d want, and still there’s more
Fellow, yellow, limoncello
Your skin is pale, and you shake like Jell-o
Don't be shy, the water’s fine outside
That’s it, come on, you can do it
Pep your step, and get into it
Innit nice? There’s no reason you should hide
There’s a great big world to see
It’s made for you, and it’s made for me
There’s something lovely coming ‘round the bend
There’s throwing baseballs in the park
And skinny-dipping after dark
Songs around the bonfire with your friends
Summer will not last forever
Have a folly here and now
Let’s have a silly time together
Come with me I’ll show you how
Now, we’re touching grass at last!
Isn’t real life such a blast?
Feel the warmth of sunlight on your skin
There’s people here, you’ll want to meet ‘em
Come on, big guy, go and greet em
A fairy tale of friendship will begin
Summer will not last forever
Have a folly here and now
Let’s have a silly time together
Come with me I’ll show you how
Summer will not last forever
Have a folly here and now
Let’s have a silly time together
Come with me I’ll show you how
