Laid Back and Livid 04:09

It's a curse to be creative It's a rout to be irrelevant and old I guess I'm just too different Too principled, too maverick to be sold If you think that I can't see The forest for the trees I'm sorry that you feel that way Now shove it sideways please I've shopped around and I've been chopped down Now I'm laid back and livid Fame is wasted on the young They just can't write good songs And if I like the next big thing The next big thing has got it wrong I've paid my dues and played the blues With midatlantic sneer And watched as others hit the heights While I stayed stuck down here So I sit at home and piss and moan Laid back and livid Please don't tell me how to live Don't tell me my chance has gone I was meant to be the one I've got so much I can give But if they won't see I'm just gonna be Laid back and livid Hey, Mr DJ! I think you stink! Now play my music please No, I don't listen to your show You should be glad of proper songs like these Now, if that approach doesn't work somehow I'm all out of ideas All I've got are rock star dreams To pacify my fears That I was only ever ordinary And sad And bitter And laid back and livid Please don't tell me how to live Don't tell me to take a bow Don't tell me it's over now I've got so much left to give I don't have to be adored I just can't handle being ignored!

Not at All Blues 05:09
lyrics

Don't try to call, 'cause I don't want to talk to you Don't care at all about the latest drama that you're going through Don't write or text Or whatever else you might think of next Because I'd really much rather Not have to deal with your problems right now Don't come to my home expecting any sympathy I know you're all alone and quite frankly I think you deserve to be I gave you space Before you threw it right back in my face Now there's no way I'll ever let you take advantage again There was a time that I cared for you, Not that long ago When it was me needing help You did not want to know Am I just a hand in your travelling show, To use up and let go? And then you turned up back at my door When the glamour wouldn't fool anymore And you had the nerve to ask if I'm a friend to you All that I have left for you is not-at-all blues.

Cosmic Haiku 03:34
lyrics

Space, the infinite The endless cosmic ballet Of big spinning rocks Can rocks support life? Right now we know that one can But we're fixing that Powerful men raced To reach the nearest rock first Because it was there This done, they withdrew To build a new cosmos in Controlled media Space, the infinite Just wasn't delivering Very much at all It's surprisingly Hard to make a profit from Enormous gas balls But then it turned out There is value in going Around and around So, the infinite Now serves the endless ballet Of dreams on the ground.
