Started Running

I started running when I saw who was coming
I started running when I saw who was coming
And if I'm a burden let me out of your car
Can't find the wording yeah god I'm hurting
Some found it funny when they lost all their money
Some stopped at nothing to seem rich I stopped you
And if it is wording that makes a good deal
Don't bring me in then just find someone real
I started running when I saw who was coming
I started running when I saw who was coming

Take Your Canines Out

Should I find myself
Resurfacing on land
Lend me a van
Better yet a caravan
Telephone poles
In cruciform in holes
Burned my feet
Desert heat I'm told
Stipend for fun
And a penchant for the son
Baptized motel pool
Snake oily fools
Soldier on stone
That's the penalty of plans
Your advance I can stand
Surely not your reprimands
Leave me alone
Got a camera in my phone
Write me in your will
Better yet don't

Sun Will Let Go

The sun will let go
Of its hold on this old globe
The sun will let go
And the time for rest is now or never
I'm afraid I don't know
Because I was never old enough to go
Wish I could tell
Whether or not to weather it out
Don't misuse the note
Given to you in a cloud
Don't misuse the words
You were meant to speak them out
And if it weren't so
Would you find the value
Find a different sound
Wish I could tell
Whether or not and when we'll know

Want to get away from there
Justice running out of luck
Out of luck
Want to get away from there
Justice running on thin air
On thin air
All that you celebrate separates you
Even if you wanted to want it to
Wish I could stay in the healing stair
If there's a way you know I'll be there
All that you celebrate separates you
Even if you wanted to want it to
All that you celebrate separates you
Even if you wanted to want it to
Feeling like a souvenir keychain worn on a shoe
On a shoe
Wish I could stay in the healing stair
If there's a way you know I'll be there

Tearer

Drive alone if you can without a phone
Lithium ion silver tombs
When I get home that's good enough
No Saturday goes to waste
On the watch again
That's all I ask
Everything just means what it seems
You're ok you're fine
Fall into place and fall behind
Leave it in the backseat of your mind
Tearing up the same day
Tearing up the same day as you now
Tearing up the same day
Tearing up the same day as you now
Through the phone is something that you want
Can you know that that was what was bought
Fit comfortably and fall in time
I don't want to be another valentine
You're ok you're fine

La Suisse Primitive
by Billy Changer
Mysterious LA group Billy Changer changed my life. Once you hear it you won't forget it. Favorite Tracks: Barbarella, Here We Are Waiting, Sweet Time
go to album
Theo Angell sounds like a druid with a MacBook harnessing sounds just now escaping a millennium of dormancy in the peat bogs. Steal a hornful dandelion wine and join us by the fire.
go to album
Fill your goblet to the rim and warm some seedy bread by the fire. There's nothing on earth like this album's archaic fume. Favorite Tracks: Living the Classics, Swell Does the Skull
