1.
it's all I live for 02:22
lyrics
can't help but smile been running for miles there's pain in my chest I'm catching my breath turn into a dream 'cause I'm a machine it's all I it's all I it's all I live for I'm singing my song for who knows how long I'm young and I'm fit I don't want to quit I love how you say you're happy today
2.
still a busy day 02:11
lyrics
saw my breath in the air looked like I'd taken a drag had no coat, didn't care thoughts were all that I had I was trying to be cheerful but this place just makes me sad took a picture of the woods and the city someone had painted it gray I used to believe that everything had beauty well something's been taken away and I'm not about to cry about it it's still a busy day went back home, put my camera away took my head out of make-believe it's still a busy day
3.
half hip 03:06
lyrics
tea and bread and cinnamon wet floor where the snow's tracked in customers with curious pass and murmur something polite oh we're all so polite I am in a cafe in New Hampshire there is not much else, believe me standing in line in a cafe in New Hampshire we're trying so hard to be seen books and shelves and bric-a-brac pretty barista with her hair tied back expensive jacket, workaday shoes we're half hip and half shrewd always a little behind the new
4.
it was easy 03:15
lyrics
I was happy flying low I didn't know much but that I, I was free that was all life was to me living just to fly it was easy, singing soft getting lost but never scared I was young and unaware and when you came I was never the same oh, can you tell me oh, can you tell me how much would it cost to get it back - all that I lost I was lonely at times but I had important things to do but they were nothing compared with you 'cause when you came I was never the same
5.
elmer's song 02:00
lyrics
Elmer's crazy rabbit was always baiting him to play Elmer didn't want to but he chased him anyway he never wanted to Elmer wasn't lonely if he had a loaded gun he wasn't good at talking 'cause he was an only son who never went to school Elmer was raised on a tiny farm and his mama was especially cruel she had a hutch of fine and fuzzy rabbits and she made him make her rabbit stew he never wanted to when Elmer's gone they won't sing songs because he won't be missed his only true companion was a rabbit that he kissed he never wanted to
6.
how delightful, you 03:02
lyrics
if I'm on a date with you and you act strange, well please don't change 'cause nothing that you do could make me even want to say my mistake is you no, how insightful how delightful, you nothing about your life nothing about your day nothing about you at all nothing about your faults could make me say my mistake is you if I'm in a lousy mood and you're upset, well it's all good 'cause we are both stubborn fools but I don't see how that could mean my mistake is you no, how insightful and how delightful, you
7.
killer of routine 03:03
lyrics
when your life is sailing straight and everything that ends up on your plate is simple and a bore and nothing is exciting anymore if you want to break that scene fucking up's the only killer of routine the killer of routine making plans and doing right and everything that helps you sleep at night is easier than before and life is just proceeding like a chore well it may hurt and it may sound mean but fucking up's the only killer of routine the killer of routine
8.
intimacy dear 01:56
lyrics
walking next to you wind is at our backs town is half asleep you think we should head back snow is on the streets yellow from the light when I need to rest late into the night I think I'm at my best I'm an insomniac with over-thinking so I drag you out and take you drinking intimacy, dear rarely has a chance life has made that clear we watch but seldom dance and we toast it up to the past year the bar is empty but we're here I'm an insomniac with over-thinking so I drag you out and take you drinking I'm a movie still frozen as the snow that blows about this place like someone I know like a pretty face
9.
newcomer 03:13
lyrics
I am a newcomer here is my name it looked so inviting I paid with my shame I'm a mystery I have my armor on tight no one can figure me out tonight I have no history but the words that I claim it's the only way of playing this game I get to reinvent my world, my soul, my style oh my god, it's been a while I'm a newcomer I answer before the questions came I'm last and I'm first and I'm more of the same you don't know me you don't know me it's not important what we say it isn't permanent nothing lasts like that you'll soon be seeing me as old hat I've got to prove to you I'm not a loser or a winner I'd much rather be seen as a beginner I'm a newcomer we believe what we want to anyway
10.
hey 02:35
lyrics
hey mom, I wrote you a song I haven't the voice to sing last year, you gave me a scare why couldn't I have been there you gave me books and read to me, mama you gave me everything I can never reciprocate, mama an injustice that life will bring hey dad, I made you mad I was a stubborn kid but you gave all of your time I am so glad you did your passion's always evident, papa you'd run, you'd act, you'd sing I can never reciprocate papa an injustice that life will bring and now I am endowed with love for all you did
