Weird Food And Devastation

The Connells Weird Food And Devastation Lyrics
1.Maybe

Gonna plan my deliverance
Gonna plan it myself
Gonna stand my deliveror back up on the shelf.

Gonna turn to the only thing that i can obey
And maybe, just maybe, it won't turn it away.

Gonna hold out for something else
Gonna hold out my hand
Gonna stay with the only thing that i understand.

And i'll keep with the simple things, and i cannot say
And it keeps me alive and that is how i wanna be.
And it keeps me alive and that is how i am.


2.Start

I hear you're waving me off
I hear you're moving on past
I hear you're sending me on
At last

I hear your time has come
I hope your time will last
And on and on and on and on
At last. at last.

Though i confront you i want you better
Start

This time i won't let it be...
Start

One thin time won't let it...
Start

How much longer will it...
Start

There it is again.
I hear your time has come
I hope you timed it last
And on and on and on and on
At last. at last.


3.Fifth Fret

He heard about those two.
He heard it from the back wall
Then he slowly turned his head
Back toward set.

He always thought he knew
That they might hit on something.
Then he reached on for the remote
And spilled his beer.

She's got everything but what she wanted
Was all of your attention.
She's got everything but what she wanted.

You know he'll try and forget her
But barely out of reach is might have been.

They've got everything but what you need
Is a pund of prevention.
They've got everything but what you need...

He's taking everything with a grain.
He's taking just about anything.

She's got everything but what she wanted
Was all of your attention.
She got everything but what she wanted.


4.Just Like That

There you are and you can't believe a thing
Especially what you see.
Something kind of like a voice
Makes its way across the desk.

You know we're gonna put you
In a cadillac.
You'll be laughing all the way
To the bank and back.
I really think i see you
Just like that.
Everybody wants to have it all.

At least there's a door a few feet away
From your chair.
There's a door and as you begin to stand
You take a last look at the man.

You know we're gonna put you
In a cadillac.
You'll be laughing all the way
To the bank and back.
I really think i see you
Just like that.
Everybody wants to have it all.

Nineteen and 70s chevy
Tricked out a time or two
I'll let the nova
Call the shots again.

(chorus)


5.Adjective Song

Bigger. better. smarter. cleaner. nicer. younger.

These are the words we use to describe
These are the words we use to lie.

Sweeter. wiser. kinder. bigger. better. smarter.

These are the words we use to describe
These are the words we use to hide
These are the words we use to get by
These are the words we use to describe ourselves


6.Any

Be yourself
Be yourself so you won't fade out
Keep yourself
Keep yourself so you won't change at all

Anyone in a crowd
Sees you fail to leave a definte scar
Don't you hold back now

See yourself
See yourself as one turned 'round
Free yourself
Free yourself or turn back now

Everyone in the crowd
Seems to think you're the greatest of all...
What if they found out?

Anything that you say
I don't know about it
What you see what you're sayin'
Just doesn't matter
Anymore

Leave yourself
Leave yourself time to get it right
Keep yourself
Be yourself make the red hot white

Don't you hold back now
Everyone's full of sparkle and charm
How can you bow out?


7.Hang On

There's peace in the valley and the scum's moving in
And i'm here in rallee, really.
But what does it matter when you're doin' well
I'm just here getting sadder, really.

Hang on, hang on, brother. hang on, hang on.
Hang on to your head
Hang on to your heart
Hang on, hang on.

There's noise from the 'hill side
And we're all listening in
From here on the outside, really.

Hang on, hang on, brother. hang on, hang on.
Hang on to your head
Hang on to your heart
Hang on, hang on.


8.Black To Blue

This new neighborhood ain't no good
Am i understood
Something's wrong but there's nothing
I can put mu finger on.

I wanna get back to blue. wanna get back to blue.

An acquired tast your smilin' face
But just don't get me wrong
It just gives me the creeps
When i hear you laughing in your sleep

I wanna get back to blue. wanna get back to blue.

I wanna get back to the things
We used to do.
Think i'm going back again tonight.

Ain't it funny how it ain't funny at all.
I think i'm going back again tonight.

I wanna get back to blue.
Wanna get back to blue.


9.Smoke

Going to take you back, all the way to yesterday
When everything supposedly began.
Met some guy sight unseen, steady diet of everything
And a plan, oh man.

Why can't a guy just let it go, forget it.
All i know is that i'm not home.

At least i know we had it planned in a rented mini van
And at least i know that somebody drove.
With a head full of steam i really hope
You don't know what i mean, i really do.

Why can't a guy just let it go, forget it.
All i know is that i'm not home.

How will you account for me.
You know they're going to make you,
You know they're going to make you.
Why is it just smoke i see.
Going to make you realize.

If you meet some guy sight unseen,
Steady diet of everything and a plan, oh man.
He's going to take you back, all the way to yesterday
When everything supposedly began

Why can't a guy just let it go, forget it.
All i know is that i'm not home.
Why can't a guy just let it go, forget it.
All i know is that i'm not home.

How will you account for me.
You know they're going to make you,
You know they're going to make you.
Why is it just smoke i see.
Going to make you realize.

Eyes. smoke in your eyes.


10.Pretty Rough

Got my feet up in a car
I'm not going where you are
It's my sanity or bust
And it never really was everything i wanted
Everything i needed
Everything complete.
Everything you've ever heard
And there's not a single word to put your mind at rest
And yes i never guessed everything you wanted
Everything you needed
Everything. complete.
I only hear what i want to, want to, i want to
And i just follow my feet, and i stumble on.
Everything you wanted
Everything you needed
Everything. complete.
I'm almost giving it away
I'm almost near
I'm almost half-way home
I might be home


11.Let It Go

Tie me up don't tie me down
Take it in and spin around let it go
Lead it through a train of thought
Be released and let it talk let it go

And then i turn around to see a view
I wouldn't know if not for you
Count to three, don't tell them all
How luck ran out on me like it did before

When i'm negative, no i'm not
Soaking in what i forgot let it go
I read aloud what you have said
It's not alive, it must be dead let it go

And then i turn around to see a view
I wouldn't know if not for you
Your pack of lies my punky friend
Don't tantalize, don't take me in
It isn't love, it isn't hate
You amplify what irritates
Count to three don't tell them all
I take it better now than i did before

Let it go


12.Friendly Time

I saw the parkers and triefenbachs
I saw the williams and the r.d. gables
Friends of mine, friends of mine, friendly time.

I know the christgaus and considines,
I know the jenkins and the garbarinis
Friends of mine, frineds of mine, friendly time.
La la la la la la befriend me
La la la la la la friendly (please repeat).


13.Too High

So the trouble got your tongue
And all you pulled it out together
Finally set things straight
Sounds about right

Being something
Well i don't think so,
You do nothing like i doubt you will
Being something

What's that now and
What's that you forced?
Better known as the answer
What's that you now and
What's that you forced?

On you own it's just the same.
But you're sure it's for the better.
Always on the fence
Well the words just won't ring true.

Being something
Well i don't think so,
You do nothing like i doubt you will
Being something

What's that now and
What's that you forced?
Better known as the answer
What's that you now and
What's that you forced?


14.On Your Honor

Did you see how long the party was?
We're talking years here and
Did you say how long you kept it up?
Be so much better
When you finally decide to take them down.
Your christmas lights are the only ones still up in town.
Twice as funny when you pull the plug
On all you meant to do.

Better be on your honor
On your own.

Cleaning up is half the fun.
Be so much easier
If you wait up for the sun.
Half-way asking is it finally time
To hold down.
Those voices tellin' you
Now is the time to leave town.
When you clear the bench there won't be any doubt
'bout what you need to do.

Better be on your honor
On your own.
