I’m not afraid with her on my mind But one can be blinded with a love like mine Might be hated in households or slandered in public But I feel above it with a love like mine You can shame a weaker man with little love But you cannot faze someone who knows the meaning of it I’m not afraid with her on my mind But one can be blinded with a love like mine It’s raging out, but inside it’s cozy That angry mob knows it, you got a love like mine I gave them the finger, but they want the skull I push and they pull, and now it could be my time Well you can shame a weaker man with little love But you cannot faze someone who knows the meaning of it I’m not afraid with her on my mind But one can be blinded with a love like mine

I know she’s so often right She said “Might not be real, so you can’t expect something Why don’t we just pack it in Waiting ‘round, a couple dummies I’ve disbelieved and I will again At moment’s shift it could all be clear Not a giant Pisces tale But I’m fine with never seeing clear Till I’m buried in the shale Cloudy expectations, well what do you want It’s a fractured, mixed up world And there’s not much to find comfort in Except the fact, that I’m your girl”

Slack Keys 03:14
Welcome young slacker, into the fold Of next generationalists born lazy and cold You’re our kind No reason to focus or mark what you’re told There will be no tests from this bunch and we don’t set goals We’re just fine Why do you seem so worried After all, you know that we’ll be receiving when you call We are ever so glad you joined the crew And hoping you’re glad you joined us too Been thinking of piling up some stones to build ourselves a home No need for the voyage, we’re already there And the pieces will fit if they’re meant to, but who really cares You’re our kind No problems to solve and no troubles to bear Set down any issues you’ve brought, pull up a chair We’re just fine

It’s a rattling of sort That makes the youth contort their bodies The fevered masses searching for a star When emotions are riled, the pulses getting wild and unruly There’s nothing quite like blood on the guitar Watch your mouth when speak of our culture I’m not sure why you should care It’s a tickertape charade and praise is being flung out of cages The type of scene where youth will congregate That paragon of men whose record will go down for the ages Will keep them waiting, so fashionably late Watch your mouth when speak of our culture I’m not sure why you should care

Finery 02:36
Hey mister your lady wants to dance And you seem unsure about it Don’t think too long There is just one more song Hey mister your lady wants to dance And you seem confused about it Well I say don’t wait too long There is just one more There’s only one more big crescendo There’s only one chance to end this, oh so right

Bested 03:28
Think of all the folks you’ve wronged You put them where they don’t belong, that’s broken And even on your nicest day I wouldn’t treat a snake that way, that’s broken Take this message clear We will no longer be bested We’ve no desire for this mess anymore We will no longer be bested We need some resting for sure

Anglaise 02:44
Oh, to be just as natural As a 90ft wave or fire on the slope Instead of sitting dumb in the bureau’s chair Wrangling with sanity, dashing every hope To undergo that kind of change Where whole world stays the same and you come around to it Where the only mantle that remains is the one you were born with So you come around to it Oh, to be something gradual Like a glacier with time, displacing anything Instead of sitting dumb, acting casual While watching acquaintances slowly crumbling To undergo that kind of change Where whole world stays the same and you come around to it Where the only mantle that remains is the one you were born with So you come around to it
