That Makes Two Of Us

V1
Finally got around to clearing out last year's leaves
It's the first week of May and
I'm in short sleeves
The wisteria is blooming on the arbor and
I confess
It's gotten harder to tell a blessing from a curse
Our mantra that year was:
"It could be worse"
It's a little too late in the year for April Showers but
I can feel you in this gentle rain and
Laugh at what we used to say
Ch
You only win by losing you know
We should have given up years ago
Outgunned
If you're feeling like you are done
Well, that makes two of us
V2
Well you finally got tired of failing their test
You got the last word
Got it off your chest
You said we all leave here with unfinished business
Now you would know
When you made your point you went such a long way
By the time we saw it coming
It was much too late
They said to make donations
In lieu of flowers and
I can hear you in this gente breeze and
Laugh at what we used to say

V1
When you spend your first night alone
Creaking city apartment floor
Streetlights through the blinds
All the sights and sounds and smells are ghosts
At the busstop in the snow
Breath steaming into the cold
A confident smile arrives
In the moment you realize
Ch
You're better off without them if they won't accept it
All they see is black and white they just don't get it (1)
All they see is pigeons girl they just don't get it (2)
All the shit the wicked world is throwing at you (3)
It's not the same it's better than it was
V2
Don't you listen to what they said
Don't you let it get in your head
You're better than that you know
You're a peacock in a world of crows
Br
Now you're truly alone for the first time in your life
Please be safe on your flight downtown
The world grows talons in the night
V3
Don't you listen to what they said
Don't you let it get in your head
I'm sending you waves of love
Across the winter sky, there flies a dove

Baby Face

V1
Baby face in the light
Nobody cares what's wrong or right
Shouldn't you try a little harder to get by
Hasn't it always been this way
Nobody cares 'bout what you say
Well they're gonna find it out before you are through
Ch
Well, what can they say now?
Everyone's looking
Wait now
How can they be so blind
'cause baby face you're all mine
we'll find a place where we can find a hiding place 3)
V2
I follow you downtown where they meet and
I see you steer across the street
How could you tell I was just one in a million
They've probably seen your face before
But it's not you they're looking for
You're not the one who finds it hard to say no
Br
Maybe you've gone too far
Now I know what you are
But all of us feel the same
And I'll never understand
Why you always play this game
Last Ch
Well, what can they say now?
Everyone's looking
Wait now
I'll never be so blind
'cause baby face we'll
Find a hiding place
Where I can say that
Baby face you're all mine

Don't Read It

V1
Don't read it, baby don't believe it
A vicious rumor put down
In marker on the bathroom wall
Don't listen, baby to the scenesters
The whispers in between songs
Don't let them think they got you down
Ch
When you were just seventeen
You blew the lid off of that scene and
Everyone who loves you sees it now

After All
02:16
|

V1
I tried my best, I said, but
I could not recall
A time when I had tried at all
And this epiphany
I could not laugh it off
Truth is it came as quite a shock
Ch
Too late to tell you I was wrong
You couldn't hear it, after all
V2
And for the life of me
I could not recall
A time I'd ever tried at all
Ch
Too late to tell you I was wrong
(You can't hear it)
I'll take the blame and take the fall
(You can't hear me now)
Too late to tell say that I was wrong
You couldn't hear it, after all

Finn's Motel St Louis, Missouri
Finn’s Motel started as the brainchild of Joe Thebeau, a home recording geek. It has evolved into a rock band and production collective, making albums and videos. In the early days, musicians checked in and out of the Motel as needed. But in 2018, the lineup solidified with the addition of Jack Petracek and Scott Roever alongside Steve Scariano, the only other permanent resident of the Motel. ... more
