about

Last track... with a special surprise.

lyrics

I found safe harbour in the old parlour. We talked for hours till night took power.
Her eyes gave flower, when day turned sour. Voices chirped laughter my bones turned coward.
We walked by daybreak, her hands started to shake.
Trees swayed and danced then found quiet romance.
Bask in the morning light, breathe the dew from mythic heights.

In a fantasy we could come to be, waltz a gentle breeze together.
Making distant plans, kissing in the sand , in a fantasy you and me.

Back by the city bar creak old streetcars - Never loved nor had desire kindled by electric fire.
Sidewalks fluorescent display dead presents,
Young men clutch a cigarette, shave a year off past regrets.
These halls now whimper, echoes in slumber. I make a new bed, sleep on what we said.
There I first met you by the morning de -too shy to shiver, to bold to quiver.
CHORUS and END

The Grocery Song:

Well I went down to the grocery store, buy my dear a cup o’ tea (meow, meow, meow, meow).
When I found out they had no tea for me (don’t you know), don’ t you know I had to go back home (yes I did).
Well I went down to the supermarket, buy my dear some ovaltine (meow, meow, meow, meow).
When I found out they had no ovaltine for me, don’t you know I had to go back home.

Things will never be the same, oh no, ever since the day I went down to…

Well I went down to the jewelry store, buy my babe a diamond ring (meow, meow, meow, meow).
When I found out they had no diamond ring for me, don’t you know I had to go back home.
So I went down (instead) to the liquor store – drown my woes in bubbly (meow, meow, meow, meow)
When I found out they had no bubbly for me, don’t you know I had to go back home (till I tripped and fell)…
So I went down (instead) to the hospital – broken heart and broken knee (that’s right).
Broken heart and broken knee – talkin’ bout it!
Broken heart and broken (things will never be the same again).
Broken heart and broken…
