lovely variations on some of my favorite tracks :)
I really enjoy the gentler instrumental giving the narratives space to breathe deeply
Favorite track: Second Rate Town (Acoustic).

Well here we are again
Been here before but I couldn't tell you when
Now every step I take is on the line
And each move right wipes out what’s left behind
So here we are this time
It starts again but I really don't know why
A misplaced step a single slip or fall
Well it’s back to one dash one I've lost it all
If I'm stuck I'll call you
With each stage I'll move through
Well I'll know
Just a little more
Each step alone
Brings us closer to the throne
So now I'll set the pace
With such short time I really must make haste
But I don’t know what’s ahead or what the ending will bring
I just need to take a minute and then try again to take out the king
If I'm stuck I'll call you
With each stage I'll move through
Well I'll know
Just a little more
Each step alone
Brings us closer to the throne
If I'm stuck I'll call you
With each stage I'll move through
Well I'll know
Just a little more
Each step alone
Brings us closer to the throne

It’s been a while,
I’ve been out on my own
I get a little anxious when you call me on the phone
Somebody said that it
It fades away
But in the interim, it was hard to see that way
It’s been a while I’ve been out on my own
I’m in denial about living life alone
I said I don’t like change but I’m not afraid
I can’t keep it together ever anyway
When every page is in disarray
I think we’ll be ok
I said I don’t like change but I’m not afraid
I can’t keep it together ever anyway
When every page is in disarray
I think we’ll be okay that way
I thought it’d change when I got older
But the same year came over and over
And the only change that I could feel
Was the aging of my bones
And then in one October
When the sidewalk home was covered over
Well I don’t know the method
But you pulled life from the loam
It’s been a while I’ve been out on my own
And I’m in denial about living life alone
I said I don’t like change but I’m not afraid
I can’t keep it together ever anyway
When every page is in disarray
I think we’ll be okay
I said I don’t like change but I’m not afraid
I can’t keep it together ever anyway
When every page is in disarray
I think we’ll be okay that way

Madeleine (ft. Loupe)

And even when you lost your hair to shame and so much gum
I stood beside you then and there until the cut was done
And even when I lost myself in all of those tall trees
You took me down, you held me up,
You patched my bloody knees
And then when we were older, there were miles between
I conjured you an apparition
To show you what we’d seen
The sun the earth the wind the rain and holding out for change
And all the snow you couldn't let go you danced atop a train
I’ll go wherever you go
I’ll go wherever you go
I’ll go wherever you go
I’ll go wherever you go
I’ll go
I’ll go wherever you go
I’ll go wherever you go
I’ll go wherever you go
I’ll go wherever you ever you
Madeleine who lost the earth
Made it out by noon
The sun had shined the earth as well
Her eyes were two half moons
And even when we lost ourselves to something in between
The words we shared are all still there to show us where we’d been
I’ll go wherever you go
I’ll go wherever you go
I’ll go wherever you go
I’ll go wherever you go

This is a first-rate town and all you ever notice
Are the ways it's stretched too far
Well it has been knocked down, but some of us are still left here between the scars
And when you look around, all you ever notice is you cannot see the stars
This is a first-rate town, a first-rate town you know
You just can't see very far
You can never leave
Cuz they'll hold it against me
You can never leave
Cuz they'll hold it against me
You can never leave
Cuz they'll hold it against mе
You can never leavе
When the last door closed, you packed your clothes
And went back to Montreal
Said, "It was colder there," a chill hangs in the air
It helps you forget it all
You left an empty bookshelf that I didn't fill till fall
This is a first-rate town, a first-rate town you know
You just don't see it at all
You can never leave
Cuz they'll hold it against me
You can never leave
Cuz they'll hold it against me
You can never leave
Cuz they'll hold it against me
You can never leave
Well it will fade as all things must
I loved you but, you didn't love me enough
Winter comes, the car will rust
I'll start it up, then always run a little rough
This is a first-rate town and all you ever notice
(You can never leave)
Are the ways it's stretched too far
(Cuz they'll hold it against me)
They keep the death rates down
(You can never leave)
It's colder than a winter spent in defrosting cars
(Cuz they'll hold it against me)
We talked a lot of leaving, didn't think you'd get that far
(You can never leave, cuz they'll hold it against me)
This is a first-rate town, a first-rate town you know
(You can never leave)
You just can't see very far

Epilogue (Slingshot)

Well I've been waiting for all these years just to see you come back home
But each step that you took towards her, well, you took each one alone
And every time you said, "My God, how is it up there on that throne?"
Well I’ve been waiting undefeated just to hear you say that I'm not needed
I said I was an honest man
You said I wasn't at all, but I wanted it
Well I think you’re just afraid of the fall
But you won't be there at all, no you won't be there and
Oh, my, God, I hope you're falling apart
My God, I hope you're falling if you
Oh, my, God, I hope you're falling apart
It's going to be the start of what you are
