Lafayette

At night in Georgia from across the US
Like music radio from WLS
Giving the boy the newest in glam rock
From my small town to the biggest city
Pointing my heart where it wanted to be
Surrounded by buildings and artsy city stock
My childhood radio
Guardian of the 70s
I was in Memphis with (W)HBQ
And got progressive with (W)MC too
Starting my path with the normal and the weird
It was my favorite type of play
Listening to radio all night and all day
Bathing in music is how my brain is geared
My childhood radio
Guardian of the 70s
Long time ago before we met
We listened to the Lafayette
Two shortwave bands with the click of a dial
Escorts the world to my state of denial
It’s pinging and ponging a squawky tinny mess
Know what you’ve got when you hear the chime
Coordinated Universal Time
That rock steady pulse helps somebody I guess
My childhood radio
Guardian of the 70s
Lafayette
Long time ago, before we met
We listened to the Lafayette
And when we met… well we had met
The Lafayette had made the set
Coordinated Universal Time

Take it Slow

You want to cut it short and make a show
You want to take it fast, but it was meant to go slow
Coming from a place god only knows
And I’m looking through the lens of the unknown
What you wanted, isn’t real
It’s a mirage of what you hope to feel
Out of darkness comes a light
A kind of path – you think it’s all right
You want to cut it short and make a show
You want to take it fast, but it was meant to go slow
Coming from a place god only knows
And I’m looking through the lens of the unknown
If its broken, you didn’t break it
It came with time, and time will help it heal
If its empty, it isn’t empty
Its making room for the depth of what you feel
You want to cut it short and make a show
You want to take it fast, but it was meant to go slow
Coming from a place god only knows
And I’m looking through the lens of the unknown
For all of the searching, for all of your searching, for all of this searching… I want you to know… you are forgiven
For all the confusion, for all your confusion, for all this confusion… I want you to know… you are forgiven
The burden is heavy, your burden is heavy, this burden is heavy… I want you to know… you are forgiven

And I’d like to hang with him all day and jam
Or maybe buy him a house
Put in a studio
Do you need a bass part for that well here I am
He’s the best drummer best writer best singer best dancer best thinker best confidant
Best drummer best writer best singer best dancer best thinker and bon vivant
Last time I met a cat like this, his name was John, he sang his songs with such a Lennon twist
I spoke to Zimmerman, he said that once again we found that Scott's the best
I’m glad I got it all, it’s off my chest
Do you see this Hofner
Go ahead and take it
Better you than me you know what it’s about
Do you want to meet Yoko

We can hop on my jet and we can work it out

Swimming
02:54
|

|
This was a first, What can I say, I saw the worst
Felt like a stray that’s left behind at adoption
Swimming with sharks is not too hard if you’re a shark
But if you're not it leads to utter exhaustion
I’m not a shark, I am a bird, I am a dove
I ride the wind with only love and some caution
And all I want is love
I had enough of the ride in the shelter from pain
Been around for a while, I'm not playing that game
No solutions are built on foundations of hate
I wanted love, I wanted love
There was a plan to change a heart, a wave of hand
But this is love it isn’t something you borrow
I’ll make it plain not bought with cash its made with pain
I’ll carve a cup into my heart from the sorrow
But what it holds isn’t my hurt, it holds my love
made from the day that I was born til tomorrow
And all I want is love
I had enough of the ride in the shelter from pain
Been around for a while, I'm not playing that game
No solutions are built on foundations of hate
I wanted love, I wanted love
There is a time to take a stand, not fall in line
If its not now, then maybe its from a coffin
Not what I think its what I’ll do to make it right
Cause what I think is just a thought and forgotten
Swimming with sharks isn’t for me, I am a dove
I ride the wind with only love and some caution
And all I want is love
I had enough of the ride in the shelter from pain
Been around for a while, I'm not playing that game
No solutions are built on foundations of hate
I wanted love, I wanted love

State of Decay
04:07

There’s a spark
That doesn’t work in the dark
And our hands aren’t clean
And so streets are mean
Could it be
It’s not working for me
And I should do something
At least more than nothing
Look out they take what once was innocent
And strip the innocence away
Transforming what could be magnificent
Into at best a state of decay
There’s a jerk
Doing the devil’s work
And it’s all so sickening
And the pace is quickening
There’s a liar
Who has his feet to the fire
And he’s all for self
And no one else
Look out they take what once was innocent
And strip the innocence away
Transforming what could be magnificent
Into at best a state of decay
And if you let slip away from all your lives
Away from all the lies
You’re happy (3 times)
And if you let slip away from all your lives
Now wouldn’t that be nice
You could be
Happy

Borrowed

Here’s a secret to be kept
Every step is just a step
Here’s the truth, but not the whole
Everyone just plays a role
But that was just nothing more than sorrow you can borrow
It will be all right
That was just yesterday, its yesterday’s tomorrow
It will be all right
Sadness spreads like a disease
Sorrow brings you to your knees
Time moves forward and its fast
Sorrows sadness from the past
But that was just nothing more than sorrow you can borrow
It will be all right
That was just yesterday, its yesterday’s tomorrow
It will be all right
And when you’re looking back
With nothing left to say
Isn’t it a hard line, the toughest time
You borrowed yesterday
I died a little bit today
Just the bill life make you pay
Sadness comes and turns to sorrow
But now its yesterday’s tomorrow
But that was just nothing more than sorrow you can borrow
It will be all right
That was just yesterday, its yesterday’s tomorrow
It will be all right
And when you look ahead
And everything’s OK
Isn’t it a fine line, a perfect time
Tomorrows yesterday

Rooting for You
02:43

Trekking cross the USA
Updates almost every day
What you do is do what you feel
Even keel and common sense
You can mount your own defense
So you live and love for the real
Rooting for you
Pulling for you
Cheering for you
As we move along and our gulf becomes wider
My last link to you is as content provider
All I can do is send positive vibes
Flying to you in our separate lives
Funny smart and always wise
Use that thing above your eyes
Such an early influcence here
Holding on to what you need
Sometime make your spirt bleed
Go and make your dreams reappear
Rooting for you
Pulling for you
Cheering for you
As we move along and our gulf becomes wider
My last link to you is as content provider
Turning to metal attracts our adorners
Showering love to our separate corners
I'm rooting for you
For you

My heart is in my throat
This feels like everything
These wells behind my eyes
Can’t seem to run them dry
Can’t help but feel down - I see an empty sky
Feels like I’m gonna lose - Feels like I’m gonna….
I’ve been feeling anxiety, from right now back as far as I’ve known
Can’t say where it started out, but the fear grew on fear as its grown
Now it feels like every choice is life or death and I make it alone
Remember it all… Remember its less than all
But that’s gonna be hard… It’s gonna be more than hard
Question coming faster in time, as I try to find my voice to speak
And every mountain is Everest to climb, and to live I have to summit the peak
I try to find my way out of this place, It takes a year but I’m given a week
Remember it all… Remember its less than all
But that’s gonna be hard… It’s gonna be more than hard
I’ve been thinking about you again, In a time when everything’s new
Looking out into the unknown, where nothing is real and nothing is true
Remember it all, remember that love is real
But that’s gonna be hard

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!
