  1. [Lyric] Fresh Faced Claire (Carter Tanton)

    I've been living in the Old Empire Victorian bells and spires Here the sky feels ten-foot tall From Wales to the pubs of Hull I get tired and my tongue lets slip A thirst for the wine I live in a halfway home for the breaking down I try and adopt these times like a fresh-face Claire She's in the garden in the morning with a vista view I think...Learn More

  3. [Lyric] Diamonds in the Mine (Carter Tanton)

    All I got is time, restless friend of mine Toll tickets on the dash, a half-tank of gas Don't nobody look, I'm fading real fast 'Cause all I got is time and a ten-mile stare And diamonds in the mine I've left my Amanda, as changes took hold Those diamonds in the mine All I got is time and a phone call at five With Richard or June about the...Learn More

    Now every thought turns to darkness And the dark won't turn to day Even the music in my head won't play If after three years, darling We still can't find a way Am I here to let you know you should stay?

    [Verse] How long till we start on the way back home Up on the hill? In town, we could go and see a picture show The Long Goodbye [Verse] How long until the horror of the stage lets go?

    [Verse] It's a long and cold night when the fire goes out for good Not your friends or your mother can tell you that it gets good I'm holding out for time to turn black magic white Every morning I wake up hoping it's a bad dream And I look for the patience to help my baby see Just a little time to turn that little light [Chorus] So baby, where...Learn More

  9. [Lyric] Twentynine Palms (Carter Tanton)

    I've worried since the age of five When my daddy dies I fall into crime 'Cause he'll be stuck in picture frames To witness whipping winds And bitter change Will you watch over my heart? Hell, I've met a woman who Took me by the far Out of view In a way, I guess it's plain to see The devil bearing down on her And that makes three Will you watch...Learn More

    Give me a good approximation You do ?? 'Cause I could believe you I'm not myself when I see you Take it to a distant land Do you believe me?

    [Chorus] The black boys on mopeds Now they ride dirt bikes Whip 'em east over North Ave In the middle of the night Don't give a damn who's in the graveyard Oh, they wanna pick at the wound Steep angles on the back wheels Yeah, they make street lamps swoon Steep angles on the back wheels Under a waning moon [Verse] Black-eyed Susans Don't last...Learn More
