Banana Song 03:28
lyrics
buy track
I live in hope that two wrongs make a right. Then I would live a perfect life. But with every step I take I'm walking on greasy heels I'm not a man I'm a banana peel. The straighter my path the further I go astray The more I talk the less I say The harder I hold the more things slip away.... I met a girl who seemed to be just right She couldn't hear but she'd lost her sight I showed her my skin I told her of my flair to fail I'm not a man I'm a banana peel. Just as my heart got ready to break My eyes to cry away. Just when I thought she'd run I heard her say... I want to slip on your bananana.

Escher Stair 03:23
lyrics

Flying. Flying head end down Climbing down up round and round. Life has its ups and downs. They say that hard work gets you there but I'm just climbing up this Escher Stair Ever gonna reach the...bottom top, top, bottom top? Flying. Flying feet end up I wonder where's this all end up? Life has its ups and downs They say that bad news comes in pairs but I'm just falling down these Escher Stairs Never gonna reach the...bottom top, top, bottom top.

Wheres my Head 04:46
lyrics
buy track
Where's my head? I must have left it at home in bed. I just can't think. What I need is a good stiff drink. and turn my thoughts around I'm not the pro in profound I'm the ass in astound Lost my way on untried ground. Cuz I thought we were something more than a passing blur. But I was wrong The wind was too high and the tide too strong Now the clear moon light has paled My train of thought has derailed The HMS Confusion has sailed Lost my head in love that failed. Where's my head? I must have eaten some paint with lead. I've lost my mind Kindly give my brain a winde I just can't think at all. I'm not so smart after all I'm the lack in lackadaisical The stew in pid and that's not all....

about

Recorded in 2012, a gathering of songs written over a few years previous. This was essentially the first good recording of new material after EXP in 1995. Unusual chord progressions and funny/satirical lyrics as well as the appreciation for beauty and life. Most of these tunes worked on with Chris Simmons on the classical guitar and Carlie Laidlaw on vocals.
