Ball Rolling

Well I got my ball rolling and
I know it’s gonna roll by your way
I can’t help that I’m growing and
I’m sure that I’m not gonna stay the same
I don’t need to roll on back in time
just to scrounge around for what I left behind
I don’t need to roll over my tracks, it’s in the past,
it won’t last, I’m not gonna stay…
The same, the same, the same, the same
The same, the same, the same, the same
The same
Well I got my ball rolling

How ya been since me?
You’re probably keeping someone else busy
You were living off my dime and in between my sheets
So if you want my money
Honey, I’ll buy you a ticket outta town
Cause now we know you like to get around
How ya been, let’s see
Can you get your story straight with me?
You reassured me it was just coffee
But when you called to tell me
She was waiting on the other line
I guess that’s what you meant
When you said you were doing fine
This town ain’t big enough for the two of us
This town ain’t big…
Do I need to spell it out?
No I won’t cut you no slack
Leave and don’t you ever come back
No don’t you ever come back

Old Advice

One of these days it’s all gonna come around
But don’t you let the drudgery in between wear you down
Just keep your gaze a little farther down the road
You keep looking at the ground
You’re bound to lose where you’re going
Day in and day out
I know it’s hard to keep your head about you
It takes thick skin to hold out
While the world crashes in around you
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your hands steady
Well the water may rise and put cracks in your levy
The weight that you carry, it might be too heavy
Like my mama told me...
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your hands steady
Well the water may rise and put cracks in your levy
The weight that you carry, it might be too heavy
Some of these days when you get knocked around
Trouble sure seems bigger when you’re staring up from on the ground
Don’t be dismayed by a fight that you can’t win
Better to lose on your feet than to lose on your chin
Day in and day
I know it’s hard to keep your head about you
It takes thick skin to hold out
While the world crashes in around you
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your hands steady
Well the water may rise and put cracks in your levy
The weight that you carry, it might be too heavy

Bad Enough
04:27

I’ve been trying to forget you
But I just can’t shake the doubt
It’s so hard not to let you
Become all I think about
After years since I met you
You would think that by now
I could have you figured out
I can tell something’s missing
In the way we said goodnight
But that feeling’s disappearing
Everytime we hit the lights
So if that’s all that we’re good for
At least we’ve got something right
I won’t be led around by a carrot and a stick
I got too much pride for that you know
And I’m still figuring out which battles I should pick
Seems like this one I should let go
So now I’m all through with trying
And I can tell it hurts you too
But that hurt’s multiplying everytime I look at you
And I still feel like I’m lying when
I tell myself we’re through (we’re through)
Baby it’s not nearly bad enough yet
We’ve got no idea how bad it could get

New Life

Well I’m stuck in a situation where I’m losing my, losing my mind
These words they bite and they fight back on everything I have to say
Give me some space in my life, let me breathe
Cry me a river, cry me a stream
I’ll float down either one and find what I need
No more complaining, you’re wasting my time
I got a new life waiting for me to arrive
Can’t you see what you’ve done to me
I’m strung out in doubt about what I believe
This ain’t right I should feel much better
But you’re holding me back, you’re holding me back
From what I need in my life, let me breathe
Cry me a river, cry me a stream
I’ll float down either one and find what I need
No more complaining, you’re wasting my time
I got a new life waiting for me to arrive
Cry me a river, cry me a stream
I’ll float down either one and find what I need
No more complaining, you’re wasting my time
I got a new life waiting for me to arrive
Got a new life waiting for me to arrive

You gotta stop looking so pretty
You gotta cause you’re making me blue
You gotta stop looking so pretty
You gotta stop letting me love you
Cause all I wanna do is pour some tea for two
All I wanna do is rock your whole night through
All I wanna do is pour some tea for two
All I wanna do is rock your whole night through
You know you’re pretty, that much is clear
So come and get me baby, cause I’m right here
Nobody likes to love and I didn’t choose
So if you’re gonna give me something
Give me something I can,
Give me something I can,
Give me something I can,
Give me something I can use
I hate playing games, honey it’s a sin
But if we’re gonna play, I’m gonna win
Nobody likes to love and I didn’t choose
So if you’re gonna give me something
Give me something I can,
Give me something I can,
Give me something I can
Nobody likes to love and I didn’t choose
So if you’re gonna give me something
Give me something I can,
Give me something I can,
Give me something I can,
Give me something I can use
All I want to do is pour some tea for two
All I want to do is rock your whole night through
All I want to do is pour some tea for two
All I want to do is rock your whole night through
All I want to do is pour some tea for two
All I want to do is rock your whole night through
All I want to do is pour some tea for two
All I want to do is stay in love with you

Nobody

Just wanna be a nobody
Just wanna be a nobody
Just wanna be a nobody
Just wanna be a nobody
Where I can walk through the street
Without anybody knowing who I used to be
People don’t know me
They can’t get close to me
I can’t be a nobody
Cause people are counting on me
Still sometimes I just, I just feel
Just wanna be a nobody
Just wanna be a nobody
Just wanna be a nobody

Get Gone

Go on get out there
And spread yourself around like butter
Cause we both know the real world,
The busy life makes you shudder
For now I’ll sing the songs
That carry me through the night
And I’ll hope that one day soon
You’ll be back in my life
You’ll be back in my life
Go on get out there
And tear yourself apart like tissue
Cause we both know you’ll go
Everywhere and take the whole load with you
For now I’ll sing the songs
That used to carry you through the night
And I’ll hope that one day soon
You’ll be back in my life
You’ll be back in my life
So go on get out there
Get gone be free
Cause we both know you hate the snow
You were only ever meant to leave
For now I’ll stand my ground
And keep my head held high
Cause I knew when I met you
We were meant to say goodbye
We were meant to say

Tonight You Belong to Me

I know
You belong to somebody knew
But tonight you belong to me
And although
We’re apart, you’re part of my heart
And tonight you belong to me
Way down by the stream
How sweet it would seem
Once more just to dream
By the silvery moonlight
My honey I know
By the dawn you will be gone
But tonight, but tonight, but tonight
But tonight you belong to me

The way you’re going used to seem so cold
Easy come, easy go
But we’re the same age and I feel so old
You might have this figured out without a doubt
You know how to live
You know how to live
You know how to live
You know how to live
Waste my time on blues and heartache
Cause blues and heartache won’t do me no good
And you’ll do fine loving just for its own sake
Going out and flirting beats staying in and hurting
You know how to live
You know how to live
You know how to live
You know how to live
But when you call me late at night
And you been drinking alone
And I hear you hesitate on the telephone
You are losing your cool
Who you trying to fool?

Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday. This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon.

Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness.
