the stubbornness of an honest man
mp3
oh i would have had a peaceful wedding day
if it were not the federal penitentiary
which let loose a killer who had vowed to shoot
my bridegroom
jesus tells us we should give up violence
but he never fell in love with my husband
oh god how can help but stand by him
in my defense
i had choose between god's perfect love
and the stubbornness of an honest man
i drew a colt on our pursuer
and blew a hole through his posterior
oh god what else could i have really done
but gun him down
muck with love you get gunned down

i found a flaw
mp3
i found it best to count on our own
rational self-interest to regulate loans
but then i found a flaw
how could a market take on such risk
wasn't it obvious i wouldn't persist
i found a flaw oh god it's obvious now
i found a flaw please god just tell me
how does one lean on the wind
what if's and should of's and each second guess
so here's where i spill them the US congress
i found a flaw so what it's too late now
i found it best to count on our own
rational self-interest to regulate loans
but then i found a flaw
how could a market take on such risk
wasn't it obvious i wouldn't persist

all the shiny things
mp3
my legs partially subsided in a lake
as i lay back wondering what i ought to say
radiation fell out on all the shiny things
of creation with a bewilderment of waves
in the confusion everyone started choosing sides
reproducing each one according to its kind
oh oh my word so it was
and the story ended with galaxies which grow
like the fishes nibbling at my toes
my legs partially subsided in a lake
as i lay back wondering what i ought to say
radiation fell out on all the shiny things
of creation with a bewilderment of waves
in the confusion everyone started choosing sides
reproducing each one according to its kind

who knew it was a tic
mp3
the chorus we repeated
who knew it was a tic
the money we needed
we just blew through it
our neighbors oh they party
as if we don't exist
our money it's deleted
we must make do with less

a married woman
mp3
my, my you were an impressive youth
so bright and blessed with unusual beauty too
oh time, time it has been kind so far
we're quite, quite a lot happier
and now a married woman oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
i'm proud, proud that i knew you when
the time, the time when i so dead wrong
you right maybe i'll just shut-up
and now a married woman oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

the pillow to her weight
mp3
my love assumes my arm
leaning over on my shoulder
cheeks all flush and warm
soon her eyes will quake with sleep
and her limbs begin to twinge
involuntarily
and i am the pillow to her weight
and do my best to breath
so will not wake
so she dreams and I'm aware
this may be the sweetest thing
that we haven't shared
my love assumes my arm
leaning over on my shoulder
cheeks all flush and warm
soon her eyes will quake with sleep
and her limbs begin to twinge
involuntarily
and i am the pillow to her weight
and do my best to breath
so will not wake
so she dreams and I'm aware
this may be the sweetest thing
that we haven't shared
a heart divided
mp3
human hearts divided into pieces
quartered from within
will not last
as is often said
should our part occur within a crisis
may we do our best
to make amends
until the crisis pass
should the horn of war join our chorus
oh god forbid
let it be said
that we did silence it
blue and grey our bodies lay out nightly
finally at rest
let us of pray of peace:
that we might learn it
amen

as i was out driving
mp3
blood has a familial taste
as i was out driving
my wife was conspiring
i draw a knife from where it lies
i'm pretty sure she doesn't mind
once, once i drove my car to you
she draws a knife from where it lies
i didn't mind it was her right
words, words i save them all for you
love has a congenial way
blood has a familial taste
as i was out driving
my wife was conspiring
i draw a knife from where it lies
i'm pretty sure she doesn't mind
once, once i drove my car to you
she draws a knife from where it lies
i didn't mind it was her right
words, words i save them all for you
love has a congenial way

hansel and gretel
mp3
curse the birds
they're eating the breadcrumbs i lay
and worse we'll be devoured whole
by predators wild and strange
unless...
sweet providence
we discover a shelter of ginger
and the taste so delights our lips
let's honor our hostess
and praise her for keeping us safe
and plump

The midnight clearly
mp3
dear we near the midnight clearly
our bodies are interned
our eyes delight upon the ceiling
they watch the windmill blur
as it turns and returns
and twirls upon the contour of a curve
so close you eyes and we'll go walking
if only in our minds
and should we lay attempt at something
you know it comes out right
every time that we try
we find our trepidations do subside
daybreak is on its way
there are keep sakes in the drawers
and though our worries lay in wait
they do not hold the floor
anymore we're a blur
and we lay upon the contour of a curve
dear we near the midnight clearly
our bodies are interned
our eyes delight upon the ceiling
they watch the windmill blur
as it turns and returns
and twirls upon the contour of a curve
so close you eyes and we'll go walking
if only in our minds
and should we lay attempt at something
you know it comes out right
every time that we try
we find our trepidations do subside
daybreak is on its way
there are keep sakes in the drawers
and though our worries lay in wait
they do not hold the floor
anymore we're a blur
and we lay upon the contour of a curve

Telescopes
mp3
telescopes guide the ether from the heavens
as we all lie beneath her and look through our lenses
we learn to see by analogies alleluia
oh jesus please forgive me for i do not know ya
oh yes it might have been a momentary lapse
or happenstance
would you believe the moon is stealing her luminensence
would you concede our world is reeling through vast expanses
oh yes it might have been a momentary lapse
or happenstance

Song for the thrills of nuptials
and now a pair we make
love and do partake
of the thrills of nuptials
upon our wedding day
so lets bind our hands with rings
lets tie our hearts with strings
and were they tuned and made to sway
oh i know the chord they'd play
lets tie our hearts with strings
and were they tuned and made to sway
oh i know the chord they'd play
