Glue Sniffers
Was it you who broke through the ledge
Was it you who went and sobered up
Was it you who’d been sniffing’ glue all along
Was it the city that got too big for you head
Or was it the other way around?
Was it the other way around?
Verse 2
Sometimes I think about driving the car to you out west
But then again, I’m reminded that that town is full of ancient sorrow
Peddle to the metal my love put to the test
Was it you who chewed all that was pleasant in your mouth?
Was it you who chewed all that was pleasant in your mouth?
Or was it the other way around?
Maybe it was the other way around.
Verse 3
The other day I meant this hottie in a wheel chair
She said on my 23rd birthday I really fucked up
I asked her all about the elephants in the room
She said she was studying to become a vet
And that too she soon would give it everything she’s got
And that too she soon would give it everything that she’s got
Used to be the other way around
I used to be a glue sniffer
But now Ia ride a zephyr
I used to be a glue sniffer but now I ride a zephyr.

Surfs Up Earthquake
Are you getting dressed now
Or are you just hanging around?
You know everything here is leaving you
You don’t say much, you don’t
Squeak or sound
You know everything here is leaving you
Chorus
Because some they sail away
On a surfs up earthquake
Some they just float on by
Screaming "Me oh my, what have I done”
Some might speak the truth
Others “What’s that anyways?”
Can’t we just agree on a few mother fucking things?
Verse 2
Now the young and the restless
They just roll on by
They don’t say much, they say,
I me me my my, I me me my my
Now to tell ya the truth I’ve been one of them
I can spread myself thin like a crackers and jam
Chorus
Because some they sail away
On a surfs up earthquake
Some they just float on by
Screaming "Me oh my, what have I done”
Some might speak the truth
Others “What’s that anyways?”
Can’t we just agree on a few mother fucking things?
Eww la la la Ewww la la la

My Little Town
Oh little town why don’t ya bury me
Send my soul up river’s stream
Place in the pines is a calling me
Send my soul up river stream
Verse 2
Oh little soul where where you rest
Oh little soul where to undress
Place in the pines is a calling me
Send my soul up rivers stream
Chorus
Cause I’m
Doing just fine
Sitting down on by the river’s side
No I’m not wasting no more time
Me I’m feeling fine
Bridge
Why don’t ya come here darlin’
Come here darlin’, come here darlin'
You can wash away with me.
Why’d ya come here darlin come here darlin
And why don’t you…
Verse 2
Oh little soul where where you rest
Oh little soul where to undress
Place in the pines is a calling me
Send my soul up rivers stream
Chorus
Cause I’m
Doing just fine
Sitting down on by the river’s side
No I’m not wasting no more time
Me I’m feeling fine
Feelin’ fine
Feelin’fine

Suzanne

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half-crazy but that's why you wanna to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer that you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
And then you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
And then you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
Now, Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey on our Lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
And then you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

OCEANS by Josh Eagle (All rights reserved Josh Eagle)
Verse 1
I sure as shit ain’t no river
You sure as hell ain’t an ocean sea
When I come home to my little darlins
They are an ocean inside of me
Verse 2
Once I shot a man in a crooked bar deal
When I came to to you the boys in blue were everywhere You stood beside me like a san francisco city
You were an ocean inside of me
Chorus
Let it be known
That when you need
The laundry folded or the engined clean
That I’m your man
I’m a humble disease
Growing stronger and stronger as your ocean
Does inside of me
Verse 3
Reading Patty Smith on the church steps in Grass Valley My woman she loves the brain and she’s loving psychology She said your river used to be just a stream
I said funny bunny how’d ya get to be so so deep
Chorus
Let it be known
That when you need
The laundry folded or the engined clean
That I’m your man
I’m a humble disease
I’m your London, your Berlin, your New York City

Ohio

Out from my window across from the city
I have what's considered a good view
Two blocks from the subway, three from the fountain
Where I walk to break in new shoes
She stands on the sidewalk just waving at taxis
Like horses in parades in passing
I ask where she's headed she tells me,
"Ohio, I've not seen my mother in ages
It's been a long time, a real long time."
Out from my window "How far is Ohio?"
She laughed and pointed out east
She said, "I grew up there with my dear mother
And I haven't seen her since thirteen.
You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping
By my father's hired man
We moved to city so far from my family
I haven't been back there since.
It's been a long time, a real long time."
Out from my window please hear me Ohio
Your daughter wants to come home
She longs to be with you to hug you to kiss you
To never leave her alone
And I've gotten know her to live with to love her
It's hard to see her leave
She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio
I wish she belonged to me
See you sometime, see you sometime

FIRE AND THE FOG
Verse 1
If I played for you the same three chords
Would you sing it with me?
Sing with me tonight?
If I played for you your favorite song
Would you rock it with me? Rock it all night long...
Chorus
I ain’t trying to boast
Sick and tired of crying
AIn’t to wit around and
Count the reasons to why ooooh
You’re the fire babe and I’m the fog
It’s a wonder we found
Each other at all
If I played for you Jackson Browne
We could go to Morocco, baby burn this town
If i played for you Jonie and Johnny P.
Yes an angel from montgomery
Could set someone blue so free

One, two, three four
Someone’s knocking at your door
Five, six, seven, eight, i can never relate
to the sounds of walking talking bullshit
One, two, three four
Someone’s knocking at your door
Five, six, seven, eight, i can never relate
to the sounds of walking talking bullshit

SHAKES
VERSE 1
I wake in the morning and I BEGIN TO wonder why
used to live each and every day living my big ole’ lie
to get by in a way where it was “I, me, my” and I thank this day that I’m alive
Verse 2
You and i we had big uncle john appetites
"How much ya need? Well, tell me how much ya got?”
Is there a monkey in the room is there a worn out buffoon
I’m sure you won’t mind if i sleep here tonight?
Chorus
I can shake all of my terrors of the night
but i can’t seem to shake you outta sight
Verse 3
You shake off the cold and all the blankets of snow
Ya find yourself a lover and begin to grow old
Oh she drinks she’ll drinks she probably does drugs too
I’m over that shit baby, but are you over you
Chorus
I can shake all my terrors of the night
But I can’t
Seem
To shake you out of sight
Verse 4
Well hello hello there stands a man in the glass
The future could be bright
The past will be the past
yes, we’ll stumble (we all have scarred knees)
Chorus
I can shake
All of my terrors of the night
But I can’t seem
To shake my ways right
but you can follow your heart
you can follow your heart
you can follow your heart
