VERSE 1:
You could be another part time lover.
You could be just a friend of mine.
Just another face I knew.
Lost somewhere in the back of my mind
VERSE 2:
Yes the tide is turning.
Behind this mask of disguise.
Love it will find a way.
And all of my instincts, they will survive
VERSE 3:
I don't know it’s awful shy
maybe it’s an illusion.
Although I hope not.
VERSE 4:
Head way. Neat way.
Maybe someday is today.
Say I wonder. Was this all planned? (we shall see)
VERSE 5:
I could have any girl I wanted.
So why won’t you look my way?
Turn, burn, yearn, year for the lesson to be learned.
CHORUS:
Still love it sits within the shades.
Any moment now the sun might shine in.
Please God let the sun shine in on me.
Had a foot in the door and the other in my mouth.
Without ever taking a step.
Or saying a word.
Or messing things up.
Or so I had heard.
And she’s not worth it they say but I love her.
ENDING:
Oh I love her. Yes, yes now I love her.
Till the day I die.
I love her. Yes I love her.

Performers: Demo version,
Information: Some of the beginning lyrics of this tune are lines from letters I got from Anita. This song was written in the frustration of not understanding why are dating relationship wasn't going better. In hindsight now it's kinda obvious, but that didn't stop it from still being a good song. The most bar chords I use in any song, ever. By the time I finish this one I usually smack my hand with a brick or large stone to regain feeling.
VERSE 1:
I don't know why I'm writing this song
Never understood, never knew exactly just what went wrong
livingroom disasters at 3 AM
Ritual expressions, shrugged shoulders, blank face
Pack your bags and head for the door again
Head for the door again
Walk away, walk away, how different are we?
VERSE 2:
So how are you doing, don't hear from you much these days
And I guess it's better that way, you know
Sometimes I look in your eyes and want to cry
Don't know why, don't know why
Don't think I'll ever know why
But there's one thing I think I know
CHORUS:
You knew and I knew
We could have made it work if we had wanted to
And you know and I know
We can still make it work, so tell me if you want to
Do you remember, well I remember
I used to hang around with a girl who looked vaugely like you
So tell me what ever became of her
Is she somewhere disguised as you?
VERSE 3:
Paging through old memories trying to get the feeling back
Here's one from a year ago, here's another from ten years back
But they feel so cold in my hands
Acient history is better long forgotten they say
But I live in the past every day

Performers: Like almost every song of this era, this one too is about a certain someone who shall remain nameless. I'm not as big on this tune as my Big Bro is. He says, it's it.
Got all the right stuff I mean, but I'm not so sure. But I have a weird slant towards all my old stuff however. For example, I HATE almost every version on our first album and would kill small forrest animals and various plants to re-record the entire son-of-a-bitch. But a friend once told me that when the late great John Lennon was asked if he would redo anything he said yeah, everything except for two songs he thougt were ok. Everything else he would redo. Good company.

VERSE 1:
A wish I once wished, I wish would go away
My love, denied my love
With my head in her lap, and my heart in her hands
Neither one would give in to the others demands
And that's how it always ends
and Yesterday begins
VERSE 2:
I think I think to much of you
For the one I held so long ago
The hair I touched and then let go
You sat next to me in an empty autotourim
While I played you this song on the paino
A tear in your eye
Two souls saying goodbye
CHORUS:
Exiled from your promised land
Wandering in your desert
And you forget where you misplaced me
For I am yesterday in you
BRIDGE:
All that could have been, is gone now
All who could have believed in such a place
Are called fools now
Was it such a crime to hide ourselves away
and not let each other show through
So much more than this we could have been
But I am yesterday in you
VERSE 3:
Now the time is over
The long time gone has past
The person, the love, is so much a part of
The man I now am at last
I wished you by my side, said it over and over again to you to myself
As if to convince the ones who doubted it most
As if to somehow keep it alive
But I am Yesterday in you

Performers: Ned: lead and rythm guitar, Carl: Keys & vocals
Information: Track #2 on our first album. This one, dispite being just a tad too long for the radio, is more than a few peoples favorite. I'm farily certan it's Angela's. It''s a new song about an old romance. The term yesterday in you just seems so approprate for the way that old romances and friends live inside you. A more morbid person (if there is such a thing) would almost say the people are, in a sense, almost dead. But they survive and sometimes haunt, i.e. Ghost of My Father, and Wont you Tell Me. Listen for the laughter at the end of the song, and then Ned really kicks in.
