Whatever Gets You By

So here we are
It's like we never really left the start
Time heals the wound
But then there's still the scar
To remind us of the way it's meant to be
I'll sing a song
A melody for what has come and gone
Try to convince the choir to sing along
Here's to tomorrow
Or whatever gets you by

The Drawing Board

Take your woman by the hand
Explain to her your master plan
If She cries well then you’ll know
that your plan is full of holes
Understand, that it ain’t no fun to be tied
To the drawing board
Everytime, I think we’ve reached the end
We just meet back here and do it again
So, you’ve got yourself a new idea
One to make your troubles disappear
Well, before you plan to try it out
Here’s something to think about
Understand, that it ain’t no fun to be tied
To the drawing board
Everytime I think we’ve reached the end
We just meet back here and do it again
We just meet back here and do it again
We just meet back here and do it again
Understand it ain’t no fun
It ain’t no fun, Ain’t no fun
We just meet back here and do it again

Foundation's Cracked
03:01
|
|
||
|
I build my thoughts from the ground, ground
And every room with a view
It should be structurally sound, sound
To ever stand up to you
As quick as brick can be laid, laid
I'm building walls to provide
Some kind of shelter to save, save
Every good point I find
Oh, but wind will blow
And weeds will grow
Inside your mind
Foundation's cracked
When you forget the facts
Every time
Repairs will need to be made, made
I plan to compromise
All progress has been delayed, -layed
I'll reconsider design
Oh boy, you better beware, ware
You're getting over your head, head
It's looking less like a home, home
And looking more like a shed
Oh, but wind will blow
And weeds will grow
Inside your mind
Foundation's cracked
When you forget the facts
Every time
I know that you're always right, right
My deconstruction is through
I'll pack my thoughts up tonight, night
And we'll just move in with you

I took a walk up to the garden to see
How my garden had developed since I planted the seeds
My, was I surprised
Overnight it had grown at least two stories high
Then I heard voices coming from every row
My vegetation, vegetation had a mind of its own
Soon they noticed me
Threw me down, tied me up and whispered quietly
We don't need love
Water or light
For we were born modified
I struggled free and I would get my revenge
Cut up the vegetables, grabbed a pot and threw 'em all in
Waited patiently
Filled my bowl, ate my soup and then I fell asleep
In the morning I woke up on the ground
Helicopters, flashing lights and people crowded around
Then I realized
Overnight I had grown at least ten times the size
As I stood up
Heard someone cry
He's been reborn, modified
Nothing can fill
Our appetite
Now that we're all modified
Modified
Modified
Modified
Modified

The Temporary Blues
04:05
|
|
||
|
Traded in my tennis shoes
For steel-toed rubber boots
I got my own uniform to wear
They've given me a plastic hat
Earplugs and a funny net for my head
I'm well-prepared
Time comes when you have to choose
Occupation you can use
Well they say it should be something you like
But hard times just don't allow
Poor boy to be choosy how he provides
How you get by
Watch out now, here they come
My God, what have I done?
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down
One day we're gonna make 'em change
We gonna turn this mess around
Underneath fluorescent light
Night is day and day is night
Oh, we're waiting on a break to come
For some coffee with a honey bun
And small talk about the things we wished we'd done
When we were young
Time's up, boy
Watch out now, here they come
My God, what have I done?
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down
One day we're gonna make 'em change
We gonna turn this mess around
Down the line, down the line
We're sending it down the line, down the line
We're putting in overtime, overtime
We're gonna stay late
Watch out now here they come
My God, what have I done?
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down
One day we're gonna make 'em change
We gonna turn this mess around

Wooden Heart
03:13
|
|
||
|
I didn't know what I should do
To help myself get over you
And mend this heart of mine
So I took my axe and walked around
Until I knew that I had found
The perfect piece of pine
Well, I took my axe and walked around
I sized it up, girl, and I cut it down
Oh girl, you will polish my wooden heart
Oh girl, you will polish my wooden heart
Well, I cut and sanded with the grain
I added coats of stain
And my new heart's looking good
But one more problem still remains
I just can't seem to make this thing
Work the way it should
Well, I cut and sanded with the grain
This heart of mine just ain't the same
Oh girl, you will polish my wooden heart
Oh girl, you will polish my wooden heart
When you are mine, this heart will shine
I set my watch to its perfect time
When you are mine, this heart will shine
I set my watch to its perfect time
When you are mine, this heart will shine
I set my watch to its perfect time
Time, time
C'mon girl, you will polish my wooden heart
Oh girl, you will polish my wooden heart
C'mon girl, c'mon, oh
C'mon girl, c'mon, c'mon girl

The Gates of Hell
04:30
|
|

|
Stand in line forever
Give our tickets to the man
Watch him pull the lever
We're riding in a can
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell
Satan's in the corner
Hanging by a wire
Started moving closer
As we squeak by wooden fire
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell
You may be opposed
But I will be the instigator
Trying hard to steal a kiss
From your lips tonight
Everybody knows
Where you go for bad behavior
Now I got my arms around you
Heaven is divine
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell

Still Lost
01:58
|
|
||
|
When I was a boy, my mother said "Son
Gotta learn how to walk before you can run."
But I never listened the way that I should
Ran out of the valley and into the woods
Oh, didn't know where I was bound
Got lost trying to get found
I've taken the highs, taken the lows
Traveled the wide and the narrow
Turned every corner, hoping to find
Answers to questions that crowded my mind
Oh, don't know where I am
Got lost trying to get found, hey
Oh, don't know where I'm bound
Still lost trying to get found

Baby's Hammer
02:56
|
|
||
|
Sunday, day of the Lord, I stayed up too late
The night before, missed morning service
So I'm looking out
But it ain't Jesus that I'm worried about
That's when my baby's hammer starts talking again
That's when my baby's hammer starts talking again
Hard times on the factory floor
Looks like the boss man is closing the doors at noon
Tell me, what do you do when all your
Young ones need a new pair of shoes
That's when my baby's hammer starts talking again
That's when my baby's hammer starts talking again
My baby's hammer is always talking
My baby's hammer is talking sins right unto me
Talking sense right unto me
That's when my baby's hammer starts talking again
That's when my baby's hammer starts talking again
Talking sins right unto me
Talking sense right unto me

You might find yourself angry at the things I do
Things I put you through
Hope you're able to forgive me like I forgive you
I forgive you
Aw girl, what are you thinking?
I'm thinking that we should stick together
I reckon that we should follow our hearts
Alright now,
Let's stick together
Let's follow our hearts
Not even lions can tear us apart
I'm looking for answers
Some kind of relief
Some kind of salvation to make it all complete
Aw girl, what are you thinking?
I'm thinking that we should stick together
I reckon that we should follow our hearts
Let's stick together
Let's follow our hearts
Not even lions can tear us apart
Let's stick together
Let's follow our hearts
Not even lions can tear us apart
Aw girl, what are you thinkin'?

I am the king of indecision
Just sitting on my throne
And if you ask me my opinion
I will tell you I don't know
Nothing is complete
Nothing is concrete
Nothing is for certain
As far as I can see
Bring the knights to entertain me
Send the jester off to fight
Have the lamb cook me some supper
Ah, the chef sounds good tonight
Nothing is complete
Nothing is concrete
Nothing is for certain
As far as I can see
Nothing is complete
Nothing is concrete
Nothing is for certain
As far as I can see

Turn on your heart, put on your ears
Let's try to make something clear
Hold out your arms, step into mine
There's fault in our design
We've been torn
And we've been crossed
Love is war
But mostly lost
Oh, we gotta get back in line
Oh, we're off track again
Oh, we gotta get back in line
Oh, we're off track
Well, we stand, what it means
And what has come between
Plans we made, dreams we’ve hoped
And others left untold
It's alright
To have your doubts
They're so hard
To live without
Oh, we gotta get back in line
Oh, we're off track again
Oh, we gotta get back in line
Oh, we're off track
Turn on your heart, put on your ears
Let's try to make something clear
Oh, we gotta get back in line
Oh, we're off track again
Oh, we gotta get back in line
Oh, we're off track
Don't know how, but we've wound up off track

All I Ask
04:35
|
|
||
|
I got a lazy mind, it only works part time
It won't do what I ask, not even simple tasks
So if you need advice, might have to ask it twice
I hope you understand, I do the best I can
I won't give up on you
So don't give up on me
Oh baby please, I'm down on my knees
That's all I ask of you
I got a stubborn heart, it never plays the part
Scenes will come and go before it learns it's role
So when it comes to lines, might have to improvise
I hope you understand, I do the best I can
I won't give up on you
So don't give up on me
Oh baby please, I'm down on my knees
That's all I ask of you
Try to understand
Doing the best I can
I won't give up on you
So don't give up on me
Oh baby please, I'm down on my knees
That's all I ask of you
That's all I ask of you
That's all I ask of you
That's all I ask of you

Well you feel alright now

'Cause you've been convinced child

And they’ll sell you an antidote

But it’s harmless as a gun
They say it's harmless
And that there ain’t any damage done
Well they’ll make ya think it’s harmless

Won't make it easier to find the words
But you should know the way I feel
So everything will be revealed

Whoo, woo hoo hoo

So when you say you’re coming over
I won’t hold my breath
But I will keep my fingers crossed
I’ll take my fun in moderation
Knowing what to expect
Nothing gained and something lost
I’d like to take you on
I’d like to take you on
Now we can put this thing in motion
Anytime you’d like
To go a round or two with me
So if you ever get the notion
I will be right here
Waiting for the bell to ring
I’d like to take you on
Oh, I’d like to take you on
I’d like to take you on
Time will heal me
If you were late
I’d just have to fold my arms
And learn to wait
If you decide to stay at home
Don’t expect me to just move along and leave you alone
I’d like to take you on
Oh, I’d like to take you on
I’d like to take you on

Therefore I’ve never been concerned

You’re a big girl now
So you can do it mosis tosis
You don’t need me to show you how

To let you do this on your own

But I didn’t know how much you’d grown
So you can do it mosis tosis
You’re a big girl now
