Dark Matter 04:13
lyrics
buy track
I carry you here in my heart, It matters most in the dark I carry you here in my heart, From the end to the end back to the start This is the wonder keeping all the stars apart I carry you in, I carry you in my heart What is the matter? It’s dark How do we fly, in the sky of the sky of the tree called life How do we love, from the root of the root of the bud of the bud Whatever the moon has always meant Whatever the sun will always sing, It’s you This is the wonder keeping all the stars apart I carry you in, I carry you in my heart Higher than a soul can hope The deepest secret no one knows Cat- vocals, electric guitar, Bill- bass, John- drums, Aaron- Wurlitzer, Moog, Teddy- electric, slide and acoustic guitars, Joel- electric guitar and solo

Goin Nowhere 04:46
lyrics
buy track
Wakes up, wakes up, walks down Eats up, speeds up, heads out Gets in, gets on, gets around Hangs out, hangs back, hangs on Turns in, turns off, turns out... he’s going nowhere Up and out, in and down, off about, and then back around Where’s the joy? Where’s the joy? Where’s the inspiration? Just a girl, just a boy, trapped inside the station Takes up, takes off, takes out Steps off, spins out, spins down Turns in, turns off, turns out...she’s going nowhere You can be free from that illusion

California Dream 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Drivin’ down the freeway, Everyday’s a me day Starring in the movies, Smiling on the TV’s Cruisin’ through Bel Air, Breeze in my hair On the 101, Top down in the sun It’s a California dream On the scenic byway, Heads are turning my way Surfer dudes and singers, Hangin’ with the swingers Drivin’ down the highway, Richard Hell sings ‘My Way’ I’m on my private beach, I’ll be out of reach I’m swayin’ like a palm tree, I dream of California Message from my agent, Carpet on the pavement Tolerate the press, In my one off dress If I’m running late, Everyone will wait I’m behind a gate, In my golden state

You knock me down, but I get back up You break me down, but I build back up You beat me down, but I get back up You let me down, but I’m comin’ up You can’t stop me, no. You can’t keep me down low You put me down, but I step back up You get me down, but I bounce back up You knock me down, but I get back up You let me down, but I’m comin’ up Can’t keep me down You knock me down, but I get back up You break me down, but I build back up You beat me down, but I get back up You let me down, but I’m comin’ up You can’t stop me, no. You can’t keep me down.

What You Don't Want 04:56
lyrics
buy track
Deny, and then you say no Maybe, but it never grows Delay, and then you don’t show We light you up, but you never glow We ask you but you always say “pass” You’re hiding but your house is all glass You’re going to get what you don’t want You lie, we know that you know We ask, you won’t say so Defy the gods with your show You know, one day, that horn’s gonna blow Goodbye, we can’t go along You go your way, we’ll play this song It’s only just an observation: You’re gonna get what you don’t want

Come Around 04:21
lyrics

I’m calling out, I’m calling out A sound of love, You hear it now Through the big, wide world, I’ll be your girl Come around, come around I’m sending out, I’m sending out A ray of light, you feel it now Through the great, night sky, Send a sign Come around, come around Stars are landing in my heart Understanding it’s a start, It’s a start When I fall in love, the galaxy It spirals out, and spins for me Across the universe, I’ll be your girl I’ll be your girl Come around, come around

And when you tell me that you love me I wanna go all the way, yeah, ooh Move to your town Throw my stuff away, yeah I got a reckless love It’s not particularly practical I oughta think it over But then I’d miss all the wild fun I wanna go all the way, yeah, ohh Hey, so call me back. I left a couple messages. Do you still have my number? I’ll be home all day. So, you better call me back. I know you got another girlfriend But, I’m a way better girl, yeah, ohh I’m gonna love you so much Don’t make that face!

Josie 05:06
lyrics
buy track
We're gonna break out the hats and hooters When Josie comes home We're gonna rev up the motor scooters When Josie comes home to stay We're gonna park in the street Sleep on the beach and make it Throw down the jam ‘till the girls say when Lay down the law and break it When Josie comes home When Josie comes home, so good, She's the pride of the neighborhood She's a raw flame, a live wire, She prays like a Roman, with her eyes on fire Jo would you love to scrapple She'll never say no Shine up the battle apple We'll shake 'em all down tonight We're gonna mix in the street Strike at the stroke of midnight Dance on the bones ‘till the girls say when Pick up what's left by daylight When Josie comes home When Josie comes home, so bad, She's the best friend we ever had She's a raw flame, a live wire, She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire

Say No 04:33
lyrics
buy track
How come you don’t say no, When you mean no How come you say you will, When you will not, You’re breaking my heart It’s not enough to just say it, It doesn’t count if you don’t play it It’s not a gift if you don’t give it, It’s not a deal if you don’t live it Hey, you’ve gotta speak your mind Speak your mind You’ve gotta say what’s true for you Say what’s true I can’t tell what’s real, I can’t understand you If you won’t tell the truth, I can’t not be confused You confuse me, Whattaya mean? If you won’t keep your word, I’m not sure what I heard, But it’s empty, You tear us apart It’s not enough to just say it, It doesn’t count if you don’t play it It’s not a solid if it’s hollow, It’s not for real if you don’t follow through

Every day we spend together, it’s a good day Every day we stay together, it’s a good day, a good day Even on a bad day The time we have together, it won’t last forever Every day we have together, it’s a good day Every day we feel together, it’s a good day, a good day Even on a bad, bad day The time we have together, it won’t last forever It’s a good day everyday with you... It’s a good day. Yeah, good times now. Come on. All your time is precious, even on a Mundane Here we are together, won’t always be this way You gotta give ‘em all your love now, Give it, Don’t hold back, Give it up What are you saving it for, Ooh ooh ooh, Today’s the day Celebrate the now, treasure every minute Get it right Get it right, hold your baby tight You and me and you, doin’ what we do It’s a good day everyday with you
