Funny Faces
02:30

All these funny faces
empty as a crowded hall.
Undone by some funny phrase
from a mouth that mumbles milk into coal.
I believe in everything at night
one taste of anything I like
and I will hang it by a string
the lonely little thing.
Waking up in funny places
far away from home.
Undone by these funny spaces
I wander home on pigeon toes.
Unbelievable I know
all these reasonable goals
but don't hang the sign on me
because everything is free.

Anywhere

Picked out and pink on the line
pale thread shivering.
Out, for the season of the copulating dead
out, for the salmon in the river running red
and I might swim with you
at the same time, at the same time.
Fixed up and feeling alright
soft felted wool on us.
Oh, what a pretty pocket sewn about the bed
and, when the baby comes we'll feed it till it's fed
and I might eat up too
at the same time, at the same time.
You anywhere with you
I will meet you there:
All my waking nights
like an idiot I've prayed to you.
I will call it what you want me to
at the same time, at the same time
Sleeping out sweet under soft pines
golden coterie.
Come, for the others now are getting into bed
come, and the animals will dance about your head
and I might rest with you
at the same time, at the same time.

Can't Stay Here
03:09
|

|
Bound by thirteens broke like a thumb
every mile we measure is a poison sum.
Gagged by grief green tongue to my gums
every time we talk you make me feel so dumb.
Like a secret revealed to me
I broke down, I ate the seed
and it woke me up.
No, I can't stay here, I can't stay here.
Golden gleek piss salt to the sea
you can hide your honey but you won't find me.
Blued by bruises, lumps to my lungs
I am nauseated by your lashing tongue.
When you came on to me
we danced, you made a scene
now you won't shut up.
No, you cant stay here, you can't stay here
Then you laughed when we touched
we drank, you broke the cup
now I can't stand up.
No, we can't stay here, we can't stay here.

Leave Me Alone
02:25
|

|
No, I'm not in the mood to talk
but we can talk
if you speak to me soft
and don't pick at my cloth
be my tender mouthed moth.
Then, you can leave me alone
leave me alone
I'm happier now that I'm home but
leave me alone, leave me alone.
Some summer when we're fully grown
and there's nobody home
we can picture our kitchen in Kodachrome
and stare at our phones.
Then, you can leave me alone
leave me alone
I'm happier now that I'm home but
leave me alone, leave me alone
O, my love let's take a walk, and we can talk

All We Need
04:08
|
|||
|
Our communion's drowned
the flood came without a sound
boiled us alone in bed at night
awake, afraid to fight.
All we need's a grudge
pain to bring us before the judge
blood will bear our bribe tonight
our pockets sewn up tight.
I'm waiting on you to prove me right
I'm waiting on you to pick another fight
or in other words:
we're stuck in the way
can't seem to keep it calm, polite
we're tripping into spite.
I didn't come here to be your clown
or to push us out of bounds
put the pen in pawn tonight
I know you know I'm right.
Ok, maybe I was wrong
look at me baby, this won't last long.
I'm waiting on you to make this right
I'm waiting on you to pick my part tonight
or in other words
I'm sick of the game
sick of the way you pick a fight
you tie me up so tight.

The Box Tree
by Skúli Sverrisson, Óskar Guðjónsson
Gorgeous -- hypnotic bass and saxophone duo album. The musical interplay is remarkable and the timbres they pull out of their instruments are haunting and beautiful.

A very old friend and collaborator - I've spent many hours in the studio and on the road with James. This album helps the world make sense and the hairs on my arms stand on end.
