It's over (the fat gal is singing.)

It’s either yes or it’s no.
It’s either stop or it’s go.
Stop hiding and take the next step.

You’re either in or you’re out.
Stop mucking about.
Stop hiding and take the next step.

    It’s over, the fat gal is singing.
    She’s bringing good tidings of joy (fucking joy.)
    It’s over so stop all your hiding,
    your lying and trying to control.

Step in peace (tic tac toe.)

Time to write another love song,
this time while it’s hot.
Gonna sing about what it is
and forget about what it’s not.

Here’s to hope and old-fashioned romance.
To breathing in calm and breathing out smile.
To being in the present moment
and celebrate the wonder of it all.

    Tic -tac -toe (tic-tac-toe)
    I step in peace (I step in peace)
    and my peace into your peace
    equals more than one.

    Tic-tac -toe (tic-tac-toe)
    I step in peace (I step in peace)
    and my piece into your piece
    equals more than one.

Time to write another love song,
a ramblin’, ambling, title’s-way-too-long song.
Thank you, baby, for making it great.
I’m living once again.

Time to write another love song,
this time while it’s hot.
Gonna sing about what it is
and forget about what it’s not.

    Tic -tac -toe (tic-tac-toe)
    I step in peace (I step in peace)
    and my peace into your peace
    equals more than one.

    Tic-tac -toe (tic-tac-toe)
     I step in peace (I step in peace)
     and my piece into your piece
    equals more than one.

Peace.

Maryjayne (it's four twenty & I think of you.)

It’s four twenty
and I think of you, Maryjayne.
Since you ran out on me
things ain’t quite the same, Maryjayne.
There’s no color in this lonely sky,
without you honey I just want to cry.
I’m sad and only feeling pain,
without you, Maryjayne.

I miss your tender touch
and your sweet smell, Maryjayne.

Without you darling,
I don’t do so well, Maryjayne.

You left me high and dry,
without you, honey, I just wanna die.
I’m sad and only feeling pain,
without you, Maryjayne.

    Maryjayne.
    Maryjay-yay-yay-yay-jayne.

We met back in high school,
Maryjayne, my-my Maryjayne.
Out in the parking lot laughing
at their silly rules, Maryjayne.

You showed me how to laugh and sing,
you flower/angel/anything.
I know someday freedom will ring,
we need you, Maryjayne.

    Maryjayne.
    Mary Jay-yay-yay-yay-jayne.

It’s four twenty
and I think of you, Maryjayne.

Be apart.

When they want you
to conform,
to exchange your ideals
for the norm,
to stay in line
or to reform, be apart.

Be apart
in everything that you do.
Be apart
any manner that you choose.
Be apart
doesn’t matter win or lose.

    Life is not a game.
    Winners and losers are the same
    as long as you remain true
    to the ways of your heart.                             
    Be apart.

Be apart
from those Xeroxed heroes around you. 
Be apart
from the pettiness that surrounds you.
Be apart
never join, never compromise.
Be apart
never give in to those plastic guys.

    The limit is your inner skies,
    the dreams you have
    may all be realized
    as
long as you
    be apart.

Stay true to your heart.
Be apart.
Be a part.

 

Brian Yarde: drums.
Jonathan Stombaugh: bass.
Rob Dixon: alto saxophones.
TB: acoustic and electric guitars, Wurlitzer EP, Omnisphere, vox.

Walking into town.

No sir, I didn’t have a chance,
guy comes up to me and says,
“You just lost your money, mister.
You gotta play the game,
you gotta play the game,

you gotta play the game.”

See, you still owe up on the ante,
and you’re playing for your future’s sake.”
I don’t remember wanting to play.
But everybody’s doing it.
Why? Nobody says.
Why? Nobody says.

Why? Nobody says.

    Walking into town.
Walking into town.
Walking into town.
Walking into town.

I’ve been walking for a fortnight,
and my feet shuffling is the only sound.
I’m so tired of this tramp’s plight
and so I’m walking into town.

Not an ancestor in the county.
I’ve been judged out-of-place.
They say I’m carrying bounty
But I’m sure we burned the last trace,
we burned the last trace,

we burned the last trace.

    Walking into town.
    Walking into town.
    Walking into town.
    Walking into town.

No sir, I didn’t have a chance.
