1.
My Drunk Academics the wind in the faraway trees got in and touched the people of the southern sun and the skin is funneling down the valley to the bonfire dripping with orange smoke and the Solomon Isles begin to write a message here on my forehead from love it tells me to fall in love with my country and all the royalty you turn my head around no time to kid around I get it but Why In Mono the turnstile was closed and we didn't have a key you turn my head around no time to kid around
2.
Sicily Rising why don't you go home fall in love with an understudy yeah just for a change why don't you make something new have you ever made a difference have you everly loved the falling is it something to just keep on living still I envy the unaware cus I think I liked you better when we were younger yes, I think I liked you better when we were young have you ever made a change while I'm getting so younger by the minute I see Delmore raising through Reed and I wish I was more unkind as you think way to loud and way to highly about the future I think way to poorly about your adamant ideas will you ever gain conscience will evidence seem to clear cus I think I loved you better when you were younger yeah, I think I loved you better when you were young and I think I loved you better when you were younger yes, I think I loved you better when we were young and if this is the upside then surely I look forward to autumn and the dawning of your naked ambition I see Perseus I see Sicily rising in the morning

Human Shells 05:25
Human Shells at last we're free from our human and vulnerable shells we tried to come over for so many years I'm speechless beside you we'll climb all the stairs and we're ringing our names from the church towers and we're soaring our fears from where we are to where we'll be there's a minimum to our gains from where we are to where we'll be there's a minimum to our loss at least we're free from our human and vulnerable shells we tried to come over for so many years I'll surrender before you we'll climb all the stairs and we're ringing our names from the church towers and we're strolling our fears from where we are to where we'll be there's a minimum to our gains from where we are to where we'll be there's a minimum to our loss

Maybe Some Time From Now maybe some time from now I will come crying back to you but for now I have to see for myself how the world is turning around on itself if in fact it is turning at all who knows and maybe some time from now I will come crying back to you but for now I have to try for myself my trials are in store just for me no one else cus nobody wants to be helpless as a rich man's child do they cus I don't want to be carried around I don't want to be carried around maybe some time from now and maybe some time from now I will come crying back to you but for now I have to love all I can with the people still young and not turn into sand there'll be plenty of time to turn fields into castles for me and maybe some time from now you will come crying back to me there was no one who knew in this city of noise and the only one listening had thrown out his voice there'll come a time when I'll cast out my ears in the sea cus I don't want to be carried around I don't want to be carried around I don't want to be carried I don't want to be carried maybe some time from now

Lightheaded 03:57
Lightheaded let it be little flickers little flickers of light in the autumn sun small islands on just a windy beach hands off and then I'll be on my way the cold linnen the free shivers I needed another story told the forsaken the lovesingers the lovesingers with lice in the autumn sun shining all around shining on the ground both minutes both feet up both circles of life flowing in my blood lightheaded nothing's left for me in the path of the only safe and sound the cold linnen the free shivers I needed another set of eyes the forsaken the lovesingers the lovesingers will follow the autumn sun shining all around shining on the ground shining up and down shining all around shining on the ground shining up and down try to keep the sound

D 02:51
D all I need is love and all we need is food to rise we set above more leaning towards apple pies, milks and waters something fresh all I need is love to rise we set above towards, more leaning towards the sunlight in my kitchen apple pies, milks and waters something fresh

K 06:23
K lovers holding still in the steetlamp tall and tails like the pinnacles giving no solutions just locked up rays of the sun and my maker says that I'm the one who will never see it's done and it might just be that the tree is pulling me to go forward to tell her that she makes me while some lovers make it others never start it's got a lot to do with the woman it's got a little to do with the heart Denmark, is this part of my world is this the part that drives me with tounges all drenched in mud why do you make these songs all end up in english why did the great get poor and it all became all this squinting when did we all depart from a place where girls look into into the eyes of their fellow men and tell him that he has done something something great for all while some lovers make it others never start it's got a lot to do with the woman it's got a little to do with the heart while some places got it others they never will and I won't miss the fighting for just the sake of the hill why do you make these songs all end up in english while some lovers make it others never start it's got a lot to do with the woman it's got a little to do with the heart while some places got it others they never will and I won't miss the fighting for just the sake of the hill
8.
Regardless 02:28
Regardless I want to hang a sign above my door nothing more than a wooden board that reads "do not consider" and next to that a smiling face and next to that "no considerations of any kind anyone do exactly what you feel like and say exactly what you want and know that I like you no matter what you say" and hopefully nothing will change and we'll still put jigsaw puzzles together 'til 3 a.m. just relax I like you no matter what you do regardless of anything you might say regardless of anything you might do

Loneliness 04:28
Loneliness if you lose your feel of things and if you lose your upper hand and you will yeah, you will but the seizers will seize to be seizing you yeah, the seizers will seize to be seizing you you will grow around it you will you will grow around it and loneliness will leave you alone yeah, you will bloom just take another look and I don't need proof no I don't need proof that the rain will rain only for a moment that the rain will rain only for a moment singing like a stone up in Gardeners Creek do you like my finger in your book I point along and see no real need to lift away do you like my hands around your waste do you like my kisses in your hair you will grow around it you will you will grow around it and loneliness will leave you alone yeah, loneliness will leave you alone

Sinué 09:03
Sinué (inaudible) lovers in the eyes of a lonely friend we're lovers in the eyes of a lonely friend lovers in the eyes of a lonely friend lovers in the eyes of me my sweet goes dancing in the bleakest of her days I'm in the bedroom with her painting of a golden age I feared the morning coming closer from my door no time for weeping is this flashlight for borrowing light up November with a bonfire and a shot feeding the fire from when no one used to drink a lot before my evening you stand ready with my meal I find a shadow that the hunters didn't steal away from a lonely friend lovers in the eyes of a lonely friend lovers in the eyes of a lonely friend we're lovers in the eyes of a lonely friend lovers in the eyes of me keeping emotion with the heirloom that we smoked I bet the thinkers were up early while the sun awoke I drank the bottom of the bottle and the hen I drank the women, the sunlight and a friend again a lonely friend lovers in the eyes of a lonely friend we're lovers in the eyes of a lonely friend lovers in the eyes of a lonely friend lovers in the eyes of me
