You’re living in a single room
At the wrong end of the avenue
It’s not that I don’t believe in you
But don’t come back I don’t want you to
You can always find a pleasant stay
Where something happens everyday
Just me alone with the melody
You can’t come back til I set you free
You can’t come back til I set you free
Sleepwalking through another day
I got no hang-ups anyway
I guess I’m fresh outta company
I can’t find the surge or the energy
Got spinning stars before my eyes
Should really come as no surprise
Just me alone with the melody
You can’t come back til I set you free
You can’t come back til I set you free
You’re fading away

Teardrops keep falling straight outta my head
I’ve run the river dry
Winter keeps pouring my tears on rooftops
Tears of frozen ice
Old heart is broken as you fade to white-out
I hang my head and sigh
These teardrops keep falling straight outta my head
Please hang my my blue sky high
Teardrops keep falling straight outta my head
I’ve run the river dry
Memory broken your face disappearing
But really don’t think twice
Shine like a diamond and I’m tired of fighting
You sat alone and cried
These teardrops keep falling straight outta our head
Please hang my my blue sky high

Melody waits
Across the city’s telephones
Melody waits
Floats thru the air in tones
Melody waits
She says I’ll be the first to go
Melody waits
Says I don’t wanna die alone
Melody waits
It’s New York City in the snow
Melody waits
This house I’ll never call a home
Melody waits
Destroy the thing you love the most
Melody waits
Says I don’t wanna be a ghost
Come hit on me
You bolts of melody
Yeah hit on me
Bolts of melody

You know I love you
Well
You know I just can’t tell
Ten thousand miles away
And in my mind
You know I’ve drawn a line
Realise so well
That only time can tell
And only time will tell
You know I love you well
You know a time will come
Not always on the run
Counting the times we fell
And everyday
I may get further away
You know that time will tell
If you are doing well
Hope you are doing well
You know I love you well
Free will
And only time will tell
Sweetheart
First autumn leaf that fell
Free will
I’m on my way to hell

The summer has gone
We’re back we begun
And were we belong
The branches are clawing the moon
Special K
I hear you’re flying away
Don’t they know
It feels so nice to be fond of you
Double F
Resting places unknown
A thousand-fold goodnights
Though I don’t sleep any more
Conesuela
Night-time star sailor
Stars conspire
To make me feel blue
Sweet Dancing V
What did we see
As birds flew by
The top window thru the rain
The briefest hellos
These slender goodbyes
Tell me when
Do I see you again

It Hurts To See You Go

Oh babe
How’d ya come to be mine?
Did ya find me awaiting on time
And feel inclined?
So babe
You showed no hesitation
You came walking over
And now it hurts to see you go
You’re so fine
I don’t know how you’re mine
But o sweet daughter recline
The churchbells chime
So babe
Y’know I don’t hardly know ya
And you came walking over
And now it hurts to see you go
Oh babe
How’d ya come to be mine?
You just find me awaiting on time
Our footsteps rhyme
So babe
I feel elevation
You came walking over
And now it hurts to see you go

The stars up above
Are showering their sparks on me
And you you you possess my soul now baby
And you know that
You own my heart
Yes only you
It’s all I know to go back to you
Walk right back to you
The thoughts in my head
Are waging a war on what you said
The truth truth truth determines everything baby
And naturally
You own my heart
Yes only you
It’s all I know to go back to you
Walk right back to you
The stars up above
Are tearing strips off of me
And when you’re far away
Unconditionally
You own my heart
Yes only you
It’s all I know to go back to you
Walk right back to you

You don’t seem to wait for my promises
You don’t wanna wait
You say you’ve been waiting too long
I can’t offer you my reasoning
And I don’t wanna stop your path
The look in your eyes is breaking my soul
You don’t wanna wear my constellations
It seems that the stars have long gone from your eyes
I don’t wanna be an astronaut
I just wanna be a happy man
The look in your eyes is burning a hole
You don’t seem to want for my promises
You don’t wanna wait
Say they ain’t ever come true
The worlds offer me no comfort
And as I slip into weightlessness
The look in your eyes is breaking my soul
I don’t wanna be an astronaut
I just wanna be a happy man
The look in your eyes is breaking my soul

With the changing of the seasons
Comes a change a change within the mind
And a heart without a reason
Isn’t hard to wonder why
But it’s not our fortune
It’s not our fortune
With the changing of the seasons
Comes a change a change within the mind
And if I should e’er stop breathing
You should know the reason why
But it’s not our fortune
It’s not our fortune
If I should air stop breathing
You should know the reason why

Oh my God
What a mess
You fell down the hill
And tore your dress
As the sun shines
And the sun came shining today
Oh my dear
What a day
You can almost forgive God his foibles
Making hay
While the sun shines
And the sun was blinding today
Oh my Lord
What a year
The Heavens have opened up on us
Raining tears
As the sun shines
And the sun was burning today

Petroleum Spirit Daze

I first heard Swervedriver when this demo of Son Of Mustang Ford was included on the Creation Tape with Select magazine in 92. It blew me away and I started seeking out whatever vinyl/cds I could get my hands on. I joined their fan club getting the little magazines that sometimes included lyrics. I couldn’t believe my luck when a few months later Swervedriver announced they were playing in nearby Worthing at the Factory club. I was there with a handful of mates totally spellbound. I love this

Youth At The Summit

You know a band is special when they can release a collection of B-sides & rarities & it sounds like a Greatest Hits. Maëlstrom & the Hitcher are two of the finest songs I've ever heard.

Is it wicked not to care? Frances Chang's layered, strange experimental pop recalls Lisa Germano in its pursuit of meaning in a sad world.

Big and bold psych rock jams from Toronto's Stonegrass stretch out into the stratosphere.

Think I'm Gonna Feel Better / Reflections

I'm not sure if Diana Ross digs your version of Reflections, but I sure do. A friend of mine once said you shouldn't do covers unless you can make it your own, and you guys did that for sure.
