Spice Is the Variety of Life 03:53
lyrics
buy track
I grew up in a house With my sisters and my folks And then I never wanted to move away My grandma she done lived right around the corner And when she died I thought it’d be a cool place to stay Nothing much has changed Nothing ever will There’s never been a struggle or strife All the strange and the bad All the hurt and the sad I cut it out with a carving knife 'Cause I didn’t want to know What I didn’t want to know That spice is the variety of life I only ever ate One kind of food Yeah I was a meat and potatoes sort of guy If I wanted zest I poured on the ketchup Or had me a chicken pot pie I didn't wanna know What I didn't wanna know I am more than happy with the status quo When I went on a vacation I stayed at family resorts Ate my burgers and fries under a palm I felt all decked out In my Bermuda shorts The ocean breeze was so sweet and so calm

Home and Dry 04:18
lyrics
buy track
I am seeking a safe house From the world outside I am looking for shelter A place I can hide I am broke and weary I am looking cockeyed Where can I go How will I know when I'm there What will it look like I'll know it I swear Well I am home Home, home and dry Seem like I'm always rushing At the speed of light But I never get nowhere Like an endless flight I want to come down now Sate my appetite Where can I land And will the ground crumble under my feet Will the I know the people When I walk down Main Street Who are these faces And where do they dwell Can I drill down To every last cancer cell

Stay Strong 05:06
lyrics
buy track
These are the days The days we live in And they can really, really bring you down You can push back Fight the good fight But it’s a bully’s, it’s a bully’s playground Gotta be scrappy Gotta be tough Gotta kick some ass Till they scream enough Enough, enough Be rough and tough Stay strong Stay strong buddy Help is on the way Stay strong Stay strong little buddy There’s gonna be a brighter day These are the times Insane times Can’t make heads, can’t make tails Ain’t no truth Just a swamp of lies No one’s paying attention to the details Gotta be bad Bad as a beast What matters most What matters least Take what you can From this moveable feast Keep your wheels greased Put up your dukes And jump in the ring Show them who’s the boss Show them who’s the king Stay strong Stay strong little buddy Do your own thing

To a Man 03:22
lyrics
buy track
I am just a fuck up Always have been always will There's nothing you can do about it If you think that I'm not Just take a look around And you won't get no reason to doubt it I live in a hole Deep inside the ground Nurturing my rock star tan Don't you try to fix me I can't be repaired That's what they say to a man To a man I come home from work And I head down to the basement Where I strap myself into Pokemon The time goes flying by But I don't really care The next thing I know it is dawn I can hear Mom screaming Get your ass up here I want you to take out the trash You are pushing thirty You need to get a life Oh suffering succotash I don't want to think What I don't want to think I live my whole life without a care I don't give a shit If I'm wasting my time When I down inside my secret lair

Juggernaut 04:52
lyrics
buy track
I pick up all the pieces Collect myself and move right along No sense in hanging out I get it This is my swan song There’s nothing I can say Nothing I can do That is ever gonna change your mind You won’t ever want me You won’t ever need me Your are more than disinclined Once I’m gone I am gone And you don’t have to have a second thought That you blew through my life You blew through my life Like a terrifying juggernaut Lord of the world You are lord of the world I didn’t expect nothing And nothing's all I ever got I leave here empty-handed With nothing more Than what I brought I told you my story You wrote it all down And then you filed it in the trash It didn’t move you No you didn’t blink You didn’t bat an eyelash Go ahead and crush me Beneath your massive wheels I’m ready to feel How bad bad feels I bet you are pretty sick me To be honest I am sick of me too There’s only so many times I can say I love, love you Sorry if I bugged you I know I am a pill But understand I am completely overcome Want to scream to rafters And maybe then You will finally succumb

Any way that I shake it Any way that I take it The laugh’s on me The laugh’s on me No matter what I do Scream and shout at the ballyhoo The laugh’s on me The laugh’s on me Ha, ha, ha and a-ho, ho, ho Trippin’ on the light fandango Ha, ha, ha and a-ho, ho, ho Shake your partner do-si-do Any way that I move it Any way that I groove it The laugh’s on me The laugh’s on me No matter what I say It’s gonna be a fuckin’ shitty day The laugh’s on me The laugh’s on me Ain’t this old life a real fucking bitch Don't there’s always gotta be Some kind of fucking hitch Any way that I fight it Any way I rewrite it The laugh’s on me The laugh’s on me No matter what I think I always wind up on the brink The laugh’s on me The laugh’s on me

Give It Up 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Ain't no reason for you to stick around Don't wanna see your body lowered in the ground Your time is coming And it's coming real soon Could be a year Or could be tomorrow at noon Give it up, give it up Give it up, give it up Give it all up right now Ain't no reason for you to join the fight Don't really matter who is wrong or who is right Surrender now And put your hands up in the air Don't bother fighting back You don't have a prayer Ain't no reason for you to kick up a fuss In the end you'll wind at the back of the bus Don't you be naive You don't have half a chance They got it all And you're just a victim Of their circumstance

Look the Other Way 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Whenever things go wrong And things go wrong You have a choice You can decide What you choose to do Well it's up to you You can face it Or you can hide You can be brave You can be strong Live your life like a bird of prey You can be bold You can be fearless Or you can look the other way Whenever things screw up And things screw up You can cave Or you can fix it Be a victim Or be a hero Just depends on how you mix it When things turn strange And things turn strange You can use your brains You can reason Either you flip out Or you stand tall It's your time of the season

Let Me In 04:54
lyrics
buy track
How to explain why I feel what I feel It is life’s greatest mystery I can’t help it that I feel what I feel What I feel between you and me What I feel between you and me It is real and it is true Throw caution to the wind Throw caution to the wind Throw caution to the wind And let me in How to explain what goes on in my heart It’s not a tale in a book Why the world is turned upside down Undone by a single look Undone by a single look Sometimes you just got to let it all go Let it go, let it go Let it go, let it go Won’t you please let it all go

Don't Hold Me Back 05:04

There is a place Beyond all space and time And it is there It is there I am going How will I get there And what will it be like I got no way No way of knowing Don’t hold me back Don’t hold me back Don’t you tell me what I can and cannot do Don’t hold me back Don’t hold me back To the other side I will break on through Break on through There is a town A town that I can live in It is a town Where people know your face You live your life there You live and you die And in the end You knew your place You know the day destroys the night Night divides the day Tried to run Tried to hide Break on through Break on through Break on through to the other side There is a world A world beyond my dreams And I am ready I am ready to live it It is all I ever wanted All I’ve ever needed Whatever it takes I will give it

Nothing But Trouble 04:45
lyrics
buy track
No good for nothing That’s what they'd say No never much liked him anyway ‘Caused a lot of grief ‘Caused a lot of woe What became of him who’s to know Nothing but trouble This trouble boy This trouble boy This trouble boy Nothing but trouble This trouble boy Not much joy This trouble boy Wasn’t too bright No he hadn’t a clue Couldn’t put two and two together What was his struggle What was his function Why was he unhinged from his tether He was a fuck up Yeah that's for sure Couldn't set him straight Couldn't find a cure They say he was crazy A little unhinged A crooked picture in a crooked picture frame Who can recall The color of his eyes And what exactly was his name

about

All the strange and the bad
All the hurt and the sad
I cut it out with a carving knife
'Cause I didn’t want to know
What I didn’t want to know
That spice is the variety of life
