Seize the Day

I've made mistakes
Can we talk this through?
Tell me what you want me to do
And if I seize the day will you pull me through
And she said no, no, no
She said no, no, no
I'm fed up
I feel down
I messed up
Ruined everything
I make out I'm in the right
It's not me
It must be you
I want to make it right
I've made mistakes
Can we talk this through?
Tell me what you want me to do
And if I seize the day will you pull me through
And she said no, no, no
She said no, no, no
I'm fed up
I feel down
(don't want to talk about it)
I messed up
Ruined everything
(another broken promise)
I make out I'm in the right
(tell myself I'm perfect)
It's not me
It must be you
(deep down I'm really sorry)
I want to make it right
I've made mistakes
Can we talk this through?
Tell me what you want me to do
And if I seize the day will you pull me through
And she said no, no, no
She said no, no, no.

I think I do this all for you
Like how you view my train of thought
Can't keep up with these feelings
I want to leave you entertained
I sit on the floor an try my best
To come up with something I'm proud of
I'm trying to impress
With how I act and how I dress
I wonder about how I am
How you perceive this mess
Do you understand how I feel?
Cause it's hard for me to explain
I open up then shut it down
My mind is wired wrong I guess
I take control but not offend
I hold your hand and say it's alright
I'm trying to impress
With how I act and how I dress
I wonder about how I am
How you perceive this mess
I'll always be by your side
When you feel lost I'm your guide
I'll never let you feel alone or feel afraid
I'm trying to impress
With how I act and how I dress
I wonder about how I am
How you perceive this mess

Ten Times Better

I had it figured out
I thought I'd got it right
So I question why I got it wrong
Did I not listen?
Did I care enough?
I gave you all my love
My brain is fried
Knowing what I know
And learned
In the fallout of our lives
I can't forget
Taking back a part of me
That was locked away so long
That's my regret
I will never be the same
You will never hear my name again
And when I come back I'll be ten times better
Playing on my mind
Are you out with him?
I can't take it on the chin
I think the worst
I play on old record
It makes me think of you
And everything I do makes me sad
Doing what I can to change
The perception of myself to feel better
Make who I am visible
To everyone
And show what I can be
I will never be the same.
You will never hear my name again
And when I come back I'll be ten times better

Seattle Pride

Visions of seeing Nirvana
At the Paramount back in '91
Maybe catch Pearl Jam in '93
I dreamt of all these things
I saw on MTV
It took me over 20 years to reach the Evergreen State
Even though the time had passed
I didn't care
I dreamt of going to Seattle to see my favourite bands
When I got there it was Seattle Pride
Instead I went to see Cher and Cyndi Lauper
Seattle Center full of joy
Not the sadness I recall in '94
When people gathered to say goodbye
I swear my world had changed by 1995
Logging trucks on Mercer Street
Bus rides to Denny Blaine
Walking to Gasworks Park
Passing Fremont Troll
I dreamt of going to Seattle to see my favourite bands
When I got there it was Seattle Pride
Instead I went to see Cher and Cyndi Lauper

Commute

I get up to early to have a conversation
Don't want to look at your face
Don't even say hello
Just nod to acknowledge
I don't care what you watched on TV
If you see me on the train at 6AM
Don't try to talk to me
I just want to sleep more
Two hour journey kills me
Put my head against the window
Please save your morning breath for a colleague that hates you
We'll speak later in the day
If you see me on the train at 6AM
Don't try to talk to me

Dirty White Brighton, UK
The sort of music that comes about when the rhythm section of a noise rock band meets a singer that loves Taylor Swift as much as he loves Kim Deal. Weirdly ends up sounding like something Bob Mould might put out. We can live with that.
