Once upon a yorkshire pudding
I knew a man who lived on a road
He sang me songs of a distant nothing
What I know now I had never been told
Then he changed for the worst or the better
Now the seeds of doubt had been sewn
When we lay he grazed in the meadow
What he is now will never be shown
No I've never been shown
(No I've never been shown)
No I've never been shown
No I've never been
Told that he lived in a yorkshire pudding
Now the seeds of doubt have been sewn
When we lay he grazed in the meadow
What he is now will never be shown
Say hello to the girls in the morning
See yourself in the rainbow's eyes
We could kiss but I'd rather cuddle
We can watch the world go by
Watch the world go by
(Watch the world go by)
Watch the world go by
(Watch the world go by)
Once upon a yorkshire pudding,
I went to see the man on the road
We went and took a walk on the river
Then the river had swallowed him whole
Told that he lived in a yorkshire pudding
Now the seeds of doubt have been sewn
Watched him bathe in a chinese river
What he is now will never be shown
Told that he lived in a yorkshire pudding
Now the seeds of doubt have been sewn
When we lay he grazed in the meadow
What he is now will never be shown
(Then we say hey a few times)
No I've never been
Told that he lived in a yorkshire pudding
Now the seeds of doubt have been sewn
When we lay he grazed in the meadow
What he is now will never be shown
No I've never been shown
(No I've never been shown)
No I've never been shown

Chinese River

Living in a chinese river
I watch the dragonboats go by
Living inside a chinese river
Waves wash up, I wonder why
Drowning in a chinese river
I see my friends, they wave me high
Drowning in a chinese river
I'm sailing away, goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye
Sailing down a chinese river
I catch my breath and heave a sigh
Traveling down a chinese river
I hope the river does not run dry
Floating down a chinese river
What do I say as I go by?
Thinking about a chinese river
As I sail away, goodbye
The river is full of regrets and pains
Of the ones who did not drown here
Their names are remembered in drops of the rain
And every fallen tear
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Living in a chinese river
I watch the dragonboats go by
Living inside a chinese river
Waves wash up, I wonder why
Drowning in a chinese river
I see my friends, they wave me high
Drowning in a chinese river
I'm sailing away, goodbye

Having Fun With Trains
03:32
|

Walked into my house and got asked
Do you want something to eat Andy?
No I'm just tired Nana
Please let me go to sleep right now
Nana nana na na na na na
Nana nana na na na na na
She walked into my house and asked me
Come give Grandma hug now Dayvon
No Grandma I'm a teenager
Please don't make me touch your gross face
Nana nana na na na na na
Nana nana na na na na na
Your cooking is bad, your will is good
You don't like my dad, he's misunderstood
Can't you see that I am barely getting by
I'm alone in this house the first of July
Can't you see that I am okay on my own
Please stop pissing me off and calling my home phone
Westbound to the open plains
You are having fun with trains
My real dad's last name is Black
Good thing my last name's not black
'Cause I'm as white as a sheet of paper
Nana nana na na na na na
You live above Royal Lepage
Painting walls and getting baked
My mom says you're a cheap scumbag
But you're not because your name's Frank
Nana nana na na na na na
Nana nana na na na na na
Your cooking is bad, your will is good
You don't like my dad, he's misunderstood
Can't you see that I am barely getting by
I'm alone in this house the first of July
Can't you see that I am okay on my own
Please stop pissing me off and calling my home phone
All on my own
All on my own
(Who are you)
All on my own
All on my own
(Who are you)
All on my own
(Who are you)
All on my own
(Who are you)
All on my own
(Who are you)
All on my own
(Who are you)
Can't you see that I am barely getting by
I'm alone in this house the first of July
Can't you see that I am okay on my own
Please stop pissing me off and calling my home phone
Can't you see that I am barely getting by
I'm alone in this house the first of July
Can't you see that I am okay on my own
Please stop pissing me off and calling my home phone

Halfway to Our Minimum
04:11
|

Tell me you love me or say it in your head
Call by her name I'm leaving your bed
Forgot my ditto, leave me in a bind
Red whited out so nevermind
We're halfway to our minimum
We're too late for the cinema
Trying to find a synonym
Give me your cup and I'll fill it up
We have our ups and our downs
Our ins and our outs
Too many directions
Not enough affection
We've got our ups and our downs
Our ins and our outs
We've got girls in nightgowns
But we just can't get this down
Knock on wood
One plus one
I hate math,
It's really fun
Formal is not for me
She is only five foot three
We're halfway to our minimum
We're not getting an enema
We will swallow the cinnamon
We're part of the 5 minute men
We have our ups and our downs
Our ins and our outs
Too many directions
Not enough affection
We've got our ups and our downs
Our ins and our outs
We've got girls in nightgowns
But we just can't get this down
I'll take you to my island,
We've got wine and five star restaurants
Picnic tables on the beach
What more could you want?

This Summer
04:24
|
|||
Spent my last dollar on a
Cherry coke from the corner store
And I stopped to think of you
And the time we won't spend anymore
In that little room
'Cause we're both moving on
Singing different songs
That we don't know the words to
So don't you ask me
What is wrong
I don't know but
I'm moving along
So don't you ask me
What is wrong
I don't know but
I'm moving along
This summer
I'm leaving for good
Next summer
I'll never be understood
Like I was last time
When we walked together
Now I'm hoping
It's summer forever
Spent our last moments in a
Treehouse built for two
And I stopped and then I said
"I liked you better when we were together"
But now I'm stuck indoors
Wallowing in my tears
Writing songs about dinosaurs
In their adolescent years
So don't you ask me
What is wrong
I don't know but
I'm moving along
So don't you ask me
What is wrong
I don't know but
I'm moving along
This summer
I'm leaving for good
Next summer
I'll never be understood
Like I was last time
When we walked together
Now I'm hoping
It's summer forever
The birds flew away
The electric company closed today
They'll never hear what we have to say
The summer's not so far away
So don't you ask me
What is wrong
I don't know but
I'm moving along
So don't you ask me
What is wrong
I don't know but
I'm moving along
This summer
I'm leaving for good
Next summer
I'll never be understood
Like I was last time
When we walked together
Now I'm hoping
It's summer forever

Standing at our show
Your eyes start to glow
I look at you from across the room
And I know what's in your head
Your hair's in your eyes
But I know what's inside
I want to ask you to dance
But I know you'll do it on your own
What would Party Jesus do?
He'd dance until the show was through
This town's not the holy land
But you still rock out to our band
What would Party Jesus do?
He'd dance until the show was through
This town's not the holy land
But you still rock out to our band
He came from the holy land
Now he dances to our band
Even though this ain't the sand land, understand?
Different rhymes like different music
He comes to a show to use it
Party Jesus will not lose it
Party Jesus don't abuse it
Rhymes like times, dancin' aint a crime
You can't crucify'im for servin' up the wine
He does it what he wants it
It's his so he flaunts it
You know he don't taunts it
'Cause Party Jesus wants it
Mattress Mary quite contrary,
Lives upstairs, she's so scary
Get up on that mattress
Now she wears a fat dress
Alligator Betty's back in town
Mary's gunna try to get down
Party Jesus won't have it that way
Party Jesus makes it A-Okay
What would Party Jesus do?
He'd dance until the show was through
This town's not the holy land
But you still rock out to our band
What would Party Jesus do?
He'd dance until the show was through
This town's not the holy land
But you still rock out to our band
Why do we need a bridge
When Party Jesus walks on water?
Why do we need a bridge
When Party Jesus walks on water?
Why do we need a bridge
When Party Jesus walks on water?
Why do we need a bridge
When Party Jesus walks on water?
What would Party Jesus do?
He'd dance until the show was through
This town's not the holy land
But you still rock out to our band
What would Party Jesus do?
He'd dance until the show was through
This town's not the holy land
But you still rock out to our band

Moving Day
01:59
|

It's moving day and everything is packed
We're moving on up from this dirty old shack
Moving all the way from Tweed to Brighton
And it's cloudy outside so this day's not a bright one
Moving Day
Moving Day
Moving Day
You know we'll be rocking 'cause it's moving day
It's moving day and we're all outside
You know I got up at a quarter to Five
Just kidding it was like 7:30
But I got dressed quick and my shirt is dirty
Moving Day
Moving Day
Moving Day
You know we'll be moving 'cause its moving day
It's moving day and we're all in the street
My mom said go get some pizza to eat
But Vito's was closed so we went to Subway
No double cheese on my uncle's sub today
Moving Day
Moving Day
Moving Day
Massive sub order 'cause its moving day
Memaria, won't you remembermia me
Memaria, your new house is by the beach
Memaria, you're in Brighton I'm in Tweed
Memaria, won't you remembermia me
On Moving Day?

The Cookies Are All Gone
03:02
|
|||
Oh I can't tell
If it's me or if it's you
And they Shant tell
Their phone number to you
In my state of mind
Drowning or flying free
I follow blind
To the lies you feed to me
I'll take everything from you,
But some things I will not
I won't take what I don't want
The peppers that are hot
I'm singing you a song
But please don't get me wrong
We don't see you in such a crazy light
Lettuce move along, the cookies are all gone
But seeing you like this just isn't right
What shall I do, when each of us is done?
When we're through with baking all our buns
On the sub, and by the way
I can't see you during the day
I'll be here overnight, to see your face, I just might
I'm singing you a song
But please don't get me wrong
We don't see you in such a crazy light
Lettuce move along, the cookies are all gone
But seeing you like this just isn't right
Sunday Monday Tuesday,
You see us on our booze day
We order pickles and cucumbers, some tomatoes
No wait, no tomatoes.
You know I'm allergic to those
Sell me some Doritos
Give me that chipotle
Because you work at Subway
I'm singing you a song
But please don't get me wrong
We don't see you in such a crazy light
Lettuce move along, the cookies are all gone
But seeing you like this just isn't right
I'm singing you a song
But please don't get me wrong
We don't see you in such a crazy light
Lettuce move along, the cookies are all gone
But seeing you like this just isn't right

A Colour Out of Space
05:46
|
|||
Understanding colours
Is more dangerous than before
Beneath the crooked cellar
Below the creaking boards
There lurks a creature waiting
Beyond the padlocked door
A colour out of space
Beyond the realm of words
A colour out of space
Beyond our earthly world
A colour out of space
Beyond the realm of words
A colour out of space
Beyond our earthly world
A colour out of space
Beyond the realm of words
A colour out of space
Beyond our earthly world
Their time was lost before us
Their family on the floor
Their groaning was a chorus
As you marched back through the door
A colour out of space
Beyond the realm of words
A colour out of space
Beyond our earthly world
A colour out of space
Beyond the realm of words
A colour out of space
Beyond our earthly world
A colour out of space
Beyond the realm of words
A colour out of space
Beyond our earthly world
And as they departed, their footsteps turned into dust
The sun began to set on the even of these poor youthful souls
Dreams of past battles, both won and lost for better and worse, passed through their ever expanding minds.
Few had traveled such grand distances still remaining within such close quarters.
At pivotal points in time, they heard each other's cries for help, and answered with everlasting urgency.
A colour out of space, a moment out of time. Treasures vastly missing, and yet not one is forgotten.
Picture frames scrape the sky of their memories, leaving behind new traces of a beginning long since passed.
And onward they swept. Through the trees and valleys of time's wake.
Have you ever led through the trees or sailed upon an ungodly ocean? Existed cooperatively with primitive species? How often in your life have you been able to say "Yes! I have slayed the dragon"? What sense does your own life make? Or are you just a lifeform babbling nonsensical queries until the end of time?
Until you can answer these questions, your life shall remain incomplete, as a schedule of hours with no set closing time.
When I first answered these questions, I ran over and over in my mind the possibility that I had answered them incorrectly. I then realized that the correct answers are all I can give.
You can give me a gun rack, and I don't have to on a gun to use it. I can conquer dragons to hell and back, and cut trees down if I have to. We as people, can read into and discuss love, and the crafting of the fifth elemental portion of our lives.
Don't be afraid to sink the anchor, uncover the truth. In the end, what lies inside your head is your own.
Defeat all injustices brought upon you.
In 10,000 days of your life, what can you say you accomplished?
Go now, wake up early, and don't stop until the sun sets behind the mobile chip truck that is, in essence, the reason to existence.

The Anchor
05:14
|
|||
Read a book, settle down
Turn that smile to a frown
Once you've gone that far, you're never coming back
Check the sea, check the sail,
Make my bed, drink the ale
This voyage has gone on for so long
Now that you have gone aboard,
The ship I'm sailing on is yours
Left the others on the shore
Sinking down to the ocean floor
I never thought we'd sail this far
We grew up fast in my backyard
The treehouse is forgotten now
Rabid Flowers fled the ground
Sinking in my flying ship
Your life's soundtrack begins to skip
Clean it off but it's not the same
The skipping track still remains
Now we've sunk the anchor
I'm drowning in the truth
Now there's no more anger
What's left is me and you
Now we've sunk the anchor
I'm drowning in the truth
Now there's no more anger
What's left is me and you
Now we've sunk the anchor
I'm drowning in the truth
Now there's no more anger
What's left is me and you
We drowned the non believers
We sunk them in the bay
He would never leave her
But it happened today

Open 11-Dark
04:19

Chorus:
You used to be open late down at the park
Now you're open till 8, before it's dark
I know that you'll never be closed in my heart
But for now we are open 11-dark
When I was young I thought life was a joy
Mother's soft hands bringing home a new toy
Scraped knees and bruises from rolling down hills
Can't wait to be older with all of it's thrills
Then we turned 12 and saw through a new light
Chores and responsibilities a plight
That's when a twist came along and I moved
New place, new age, new folks, and you.
Chorus:
You used to be open late down at the park
Now you're open till 8, before it's dark
I know that you'll never be closed in my heart
But for now we are open 11-dark
Now we see new sights under new brighter lights
Another new place and another new face
Say what you want but we've got each other
We're both empty shells but you are my brother
These seconds are over it's time to say bye
Some of these you won't see before they die
Don't call me a quitter, leaving makes me bitter
But here we are, heading down to the dock
Chorus:
You used to be open late down at the park
Now you're open till 8, before it's dark
I know that you'll never be closed in my heart
But for now we are open 11-dark
Sing us a song of departure and sorrow
I know that you're open till dark tomorrow
We will for now be six hours apart
But six hours is nothing to 11-dark
Open 11-Dark.
