LYRICS:
Grace, gazing at your face on the Fairview website
I feel a need to write
This song that concentrates what I feel
Into a disc that spins like a skateboard wheel
I first saw you playing the keys
And belting out sweet harmonies
I felt like I was the ivories cos you were
Inadvertently playing me
You like the Simpsons
Yeah me too
Their DVDs and thoughts of you
Get me through these long van rides
Get me through these long van rides
You ride around in a van just like me
Staring out the windows at the blurring trees
We’ve played gigs together before
Do you remember me anymore?
I usually forget other bands
But I want you to understand
That I think you’re gifted and unique
Maybe our vans will pass on the 5 next week.

LYRICS:
Can’t eat or sleep
My mind is deep
In sad thoughts
Seems like they’re all I got
I let you go
Little did I know
You’d hook up with your best friend
And then I felt the pain all over again
Now all the nights spent watching tv at your place
And all the kisses that I planted on your neck and your face
Are just a chapter in the past
We were too different to make it last
You have moved on so I wrote this song
Now I can move on too
And not regret the time I spent with you
.............
LYRICS:
I’m going to Big Wang’s
Cold Beers and Tasty Thangs
Watching the Game on plasma TV’s
There’s no place else I’d rather be
The place to hang is at Big Wang’s!
"This collection of songs is a sampler platter of my past 25 years of songwriting. From cassette to computer, using samples from childhood toys and singing about sports bars and girls I met on tour. Resurrecting and re-recording riffs I wrote before I was old enough to drive. Feelings of grief, joy, hope and silliness."
