Shooting stars down from your eyes
I'm sitting here it's no surprise
That you cannot oblige me
Nor the well of fear that swells
Inside our bellies and our minds
Never lets us fall behind
The race that we all love so much
And laugh and talk and smile about
And all hail to the sun
That lifts the frost off our closed eyelids
It makes us realise that we are fucking up our lives
But we are having a good time
We are all getting along
So let's just party like we never knew
And dance and sing and laugh about it
Sometimes I just wonder how far the apple falls
Falls from the tree
Sometimes I just wonder how far the apple falls
Falls from the tree
Soon will come a day that you realise
That you are just an average little being
So ordinary in every way
But you're a baby in a big girl's body
Crying out to love somebody
And you keep aiming for the sky
And you keep trying 'til the day you die
Sometimes I do wonder if our minds will ever
Will ever be
Sometimes I do wonder if our minds will ever
Will ever be
Forgiving
Forgiven
Unchanging
I'm changing

Satisfy Me (B-Side)
03:57
|

|
The open road is an invitation
But it's not made to satisfy me
And a warm embrace is an expectation
That when I'm cold I'll climb inside
And I wasn't sent to save you
'Cos then I'd have to save me too
And I don't think we'll live forever
Forever is too long me
Oh you think happiness will heal you
But it can't heal what we hide inside
And your mother was a positive thinker
But that wasn't enough to keep you by her side
And I didn't come to entertain you
And your sunny smile look won't satisfy me
And if I had to re-create you
I wouldn't change a thing and I wouldn't change three
But burn, let it burn
Oh let it burn
Burn, let it burn
Oh let it burn
Oh I didn't come to make a living
That just wouldn't satisfy me
And the man next door who makes a killing
That just wouldn't satisfy me
I don't want a reputation
And I don't think you want one too
And I thank you for the education
One satisfied boy's in love with you

Man of Leisure (LP | 2011)
by #1 Dads
supported by 7 fans who also own “The Apple Song (Single | 2008)”
I found #1 Dads on a random Spotify playlist and I'm happy I did. Warm and lush guitar-oriented instrumentation with gorgeous lyrics and vocals. The kinds of songs which become so personal to each individual who listens. All the songs are quite different but they all link very well together. Great textured and flowing album.

Strobe Light Shadow Play
by Lower Automation
Brilliantly unhinged hardcore-inspired songs that splinter expectations to smithereens with their split-second rhythm changes & wild vocals.
