Well you're my friend (It's what you told me) And can you see (What's inside of me) Many times We've been out drinking And many times We've shared our thoughts But did you ever, ever notice The kind of thoughts I got Well you know I have a love A love for everyone I know And you know I have a drive To live I won't let go But can you see it's opposition Comes a-rising up sometimes That it's dreadful and position Comes blacking in my mind And that I see a darkness And that I see a darkness And that I see a darkness And that I see a darkness And did you know how much I love you Is a hope that somehow you you Can save me from this darkness Well I hope that someday, buddy We have peace in our lives Together or apart Alone or with our wives That we can stop our whoring And pull the smiles inside And light it up forever And never go to sleep My best unbeaten brother This isn't all I see Oh no I see a darkness Oh no I see a darkness Oh no I see a darkness Oh no I see a darkness And did you know how much I love you Is a hope that somehow you you Can save me from this darkness

Hee, Hee, Ho, Ho, Ha, Ha, Ha Bearing gifts like Old Saint Nick Let me have a sec to pause I ask my clock not to tick Fee, Fee, Fi, Fi, Fo, Fo, Fum I'm not here to smell your blood If we get along no matter who you are I bet you're good By now I know you probably think I should have told you everything And explained every thought that I was thinking Today, this morning, this evening And if the tune gets too familiar we split our pants Nuts out refusing to dance Weddings, parties anything Something new something old Throw in something blue, throw in something cold Stone soup, throw something in the bowl And a one and a two and a three Like you and me can see Surely, it's meant to be Buzzing around like you know what it's called in that deep blue big blue sky above you Nothing like dozens of hard boiled golden eggs to give to all your friends And feed them, you'll feel again What's coming back to you I believe it's true It's a, what's it called, a yin-yang aurobouros infinity symbol, woah We had it right in '99 It was not going to melt down though they told us that they thought it would And later look at the Mayan calendar thing it makes me sick It's messed up to scare little kids like we're all gonna die And then it got even hairier Stuff got scarier, there's no doubt about it We are coming into our own I guess Do our thing, know how to dress Finally feel me? 'Cept I'm growing up out of my clothes still, I swear Old man KF up in the prairie zone, drinking his silver sodas one by one

I got some news on you from a friend You're in Charlotte again. Teaching Spanish at high school He said you're going by Joy You cut your hair like a boy & You don't talk to your old friends I found a picture from before the fight We're in natural light & You're sitting on my lap Like everything's alright I've walked around with you on my mind The names we used at the time You know I've changed myself since then I've thought on things that we said What if we'd had the kid I guess he'd be 15 I found a picture from before the fight We're in natural light & You're sitting on my lap Like everything's alright

angry mountain fern trees rustling there's no sidewalks up here engines rumbling pistons firing climbing mountains of fear mountain fresh air brings me back here nostalgia hanging in the air and i remember this mountain burning i thought that panic could've cleared angry mountain doing nothing playing guitar on the porch and my neighbours are yelling and fighting something climbing mountains of fear in the cafe smiling people just acting people keep on coming here and i remember this mountain burning i thought that panic would've cleared and i remember this mountain burning i thought that panic would've cleared

about

Intentionally raw sounding covers, recorded live on my hissy Zoom H4N.

Quickly assembled to act as a contrast to the torture that is putting together LP 4.

Many of these songs were recorded the same evening they were learnt. I liked the idea of capturing a musician on the very edge of making mistakes, fumbling through the material. This lack of prior performance leading to slight changes in lyricism/delivery of the songs.

With thanks to Kyle Field and D.E Kennedy for their direct approval of these songs.
