Secular Love 03:46
Let's put the truth to bed tonight and put our lies together who said that honest was so essentail didn't know the grounds of our love or it's potential Let me know how it all worked out for you I know you won't hate me so much in a year a two I know some things can never be mended especially the way that this has ended

Sometimes 03:12
Sometimes I get lonely So lonely from it all Sometimes I get lonely So lonely from it all Seein the signs gotta find my way seein the signs gotta break away seein the signs gotta find my way where I belong Some times I get tired so tired from it all Some times I get tired so tired from it all Seein the signs gotta find my way seein the signs gotta break away seein the signs gotta find my way where I belong I'm seein the light everyday I'm gettin closer to what I gotta say until then I got nothin left to lose till then i'll sing these blues Sometime i get helpless so helpless from it all Sometime i get helpless so helpless from it all

BIID 04:57
I've been floating so many questions to the surface of her skin messages unarived transmission scrambled somewhere in her ears I sing She's indicated imperfection and subtle amendments to her symetry I can not deny her nor can I confine her from these feelings of relief Finally some relief

Nomenclature 02:38
I know I know where my mind is but never where its goin I know I know where my mind is but never how to make it up I know I know where my heart is but never where its headed I know I know where my heart is but never how give it away I know I know where my feet are there walkin out the door I know I know where my feet are they can't take anymore I never know where you are where you are I only know yer headed down I never know where you stand where you stand am I gunna be your man?

Job to Do 02:48
Got a job to do Got a job to do and I'm a see it through Got a job to do Got a job to do and I'm a see it through Before the sun comes up before the lights are on Before the moment when the dusk becomes the dawn I'm already movin at the speed of light Before the beans are ground Before the coffees brewed Before the sun trades its place with moon I'm already movin at the speed of light Got a job to do Got a job to do and I'm a see it through Got a job to do Got a job to do and I'm a see it through Hit the street and my pedals take me far Head fast right across this concrete scar They call the suburbs Cars are honkin Dogs are barkin at me now As I move past them at the speed of sound Extra Extra Read all about it Aint much but its a job Aint much but its a job Aint much but its a job Lace up my shoes and I'm gone Got a job to do Got a job to do and I'm a see it through Got a job to do Got a job to do and I'm a see it through Got a job to do Got a job to do and I'm a see it through

Bright city lights Got you blinded tonight If you would take my advice You can set, set your price Oh they don't know Just how far you got to go Oh they don't know Just who's in control You dont have to Work a nine to five daily grind you could leave it all all behind if you listen to these words of mine Bitch don't you front Bitch don't you front (spoken word) Oh they don't know Just how far you got to go Oh they don't know Just who's in control

No heat knows this body of mine He's taken all the battle it could ever hope to find Look for me, look for me and i'll be there In the garden the flower bed thats where I lay bare Sticks and stones will break my bones but he will only kill me drag me down the staricase dismember What do I do now I didn't mean to go this far I can surely tell I'm gunna pay in spades for this such a pretty face what a waste what a waste dig an early grave lay him down lay him down Sorry officer I haven't heard or seen a thing your the first to know got you on my speed dial What kind of monster isn't made of flesh and blood hope you catch your man I'm sure you will you always do Got to hide his bones dry dirt and gravel Throw him in the sea he'll never bother me Just to kiss his lips O I'd be whole again If we could trade place I'd do it in a heart beat

about

Paperboy and the Messengers Vernon, British Columbia

Imagine for a moment that Bo Diddley and Otis Redding are going on a road trip to Chicago, James Brown is bouncin' around in the back seat and Aretha Franklin is threatening to turn the whole car around if they don't settle down. Needless to say Paperboy is not a group that you sit still to enjoy! ... more
