Blue Trees 03:59
lyrics
buy track
Blue leave on blue trees Blue is what my mind sees Whenever I am thinking about my love I see blue eyes on everyone Blue ties on businessmun Whenever I am thinking about my love. The things I see I do believe But you might say where is your faith? Because of blue I can see more than you I see my love I believe blue is in me like a gel on a light beam Inverted as a belly of a salmon jumping upstream As the sun seen through the top strip of a windshield The things I see I do believe But you might say where is your faith? Because of blue I can see more than you Blue I see blue in you You can see it to I see blue more than you I see my love

Tarva 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Walking here across the moonlit sea Entertaining thoughts I would receive The eyes that saw the movement of the flame My wondering eyes that seek it once again No, thoughts will not betray us on this ground The mouthpiece dropped away now, look around Remain with me as ancient fires come down Vision given by the song tonight Vision that first turned my soul to light A peace deliverance from this lonely flight I remember when it was I closed my eyes Dancing as the winds stroke silent tides Dancing here beneath the Tarva sky In my love I will confide In my love I will reside My fire Hear the whispers of the night In my love I will confide Fear the whispers of the night in my love I will reside Hear the calling of the weak Find the end of our deceit Tarva's where the children meet to fly

Ooo deep in the forest Aah sparkly music's playing Old oak tree is where I'll meet you I'll be wearing a ruffled frock Here's that tree, its just a shame I'm all on my own My love has gone AWOL and I'm going home Why couldn't she Remember me? I gave my heart It's time for a new start I'm going to find me some love Ooo a candlelight Mmm this food's alright Ohh I'm on the dance floor Hey band could you play me one more Ohh It's just a shame I'm all on my own $20 says she's watching a movie at home Why couldn't she Remember me? I gave my heart It's time for a new start I just wanted you to know that I'm going to find me some love

(I Think I'm) Tying Myself (Too Tight) 02:14
lyrics
buy track
Something's nagging at me it's pulling at my sleeve saying What I've got now is not enough So I try to be something after something beyond myself And thats where I get caught I'm trying not to try too much Looks like my bow's become a knot I think I'm tying myself too tight I've approached the gates those heavenly gates (they're really nice gates) with a single stride She don't know that I am just behind that door I'm sitting out here maybe do a handstand or risk my life to get her attention. And thats where I get caught I'm trying not to try too much Looks like my bow's become a knot I think I'm tying myself too tight

My friend said on death's bed, my friend said That guilt is the engine that keeps the world moving Take my case, I'm preaching to you as I pass The goat said milk is her happiness (sing-a-long) I asked her on a day she was pestered (sing-a-long) Ice keeper's warm breakfast is cool time to move on up to the roof Get out, get out from the attic Lock up the door Ceiling is strong Give us the ladder There's something wrong here Get out I took the goat a package of spice (I sang-a-long) She said a cup of milk would suffice (sing a long) Everybody's fancy Everybody's fine Your body's fancy So is mine Get out, get out from the attic Lock up the door Ceiling is strong Give us the ladder There's something wrong here Get out

Burn a Tree 03:32
lyrics

I pick a tag off the I.D. tree, 'Hello' I want to burn it down and never see another name I see the thick smoke, pine needles withering (I did not set this fire) I'm going to dig a hole and plant a new beginning (It wasn't me who set this fire) So I will hit my drum and you can hit yours too And this will shake the earth, cause all our names are new Ya I will hit my drum and you can hit yours too And this will shake the earth cause all our names are new All our names are new I'm pleased to meet with you Somebody help me to throw in the coals this tag I picked My will is bound and I'd love to get a hand with this The first name I got as a baby always felt nice The first time I heard it from God took such a long time So I will hit my drum and you can hit yours too And this will shake the earth, cause all our names are new Ya I will hit my drum and you can hit yours too And this will shake the earth cause all our names are new All our names are new I'm pleased to meet with you

I'm stuck, I'm stuck, like a time loop in a Next Gen episode I'm stuck, I'm stuck, like a bear that gorged on honey in a rabbit hole Passion's just like wine And I am drunk with mine The greatest waste of time And I can't find a knife to cut this line Take this, take that, I'll fight this fish redeem my foolish cast I lost, so bad, I just got knocked down on my ass Passion's just like wine And I got drunk on mine The greatest waste of time And I can't find a knife to cut this line What will he do with his life?

The Eyes of You 05:17
lyrics

Take a day, devote yourself to something Thats what they said I should do I took a sandwich, a pear and a thermos of coffee I can't help but see this through I took a drive in the country And I imagined your eyes Nobody told me I won't be wiser for taking the time I can't help but see this through The eyes of You Well I've made real music and your song has made me sick And I've made better love than the kind you're singing of

Animals In Our World 04:53
lyrics
buy track
We have animals in our world and we get to look at them Platypus pie The platypus has a poisonous claw On either its back or front feet That when touched to skin Can send you to the hospital It is meant for hunting small fish Do they have teeth or do they swallow it whole like a pelican? I once saw on T.V. in Peru In Peru A show where a zookeeper was holding a platypus up by its back feet and it was flapping around (It seemed like this was normal) I don't think they're very friendly Animals in our world Animals in our world We're going to get to look at them Animals in our world Animals in our world We're going to get to touch them Animals in our world Animals in our world We're going to get to not touch them How many animals do you love? Petting zoo, medicine, a leather glove I always knew I could count on what you do I always knew I could count on what you don't do Cause we have animals in our world and we get to look at them Sometimes touch them, sometimes don't touch them Sometimes love them, sometimes hold them sometimes milk them, sometimes fold them Sometimes shoot them Sometimes eat them It's a common problem for people that the cute ones get the favour But why do they make such a fuss? Animals in our world Animals in our world We're going to get to them

about

"This music was an attempt to throw together, in various and awkward strokes, the experience of growing up." - M&V

Produced in 2005, these songs have been ageing in Old Oak barrels somewhere in the Scottish Isles for the past 10 years. Have they reached peak listenability? Doubtful, but only one way to find out.

"It's more weird and awesome than I remembered it." —Jared Falk, founder of www.drumeo.com (and drummer on Poler's Recess)
