Somewhere To Fall

I try to rest but my head’s in disarray
I try my best but the world don’t even look my way
Then you came along and the birds sang while we played
I’m never ready for you to go
But in this life you can’t always stay
We need somewhere to fall
Where worries are nothing at all
Please my sweet darlin tell me
You know its gonna be alright
Tell me oh so sweetly that you’ll
Let me stay the night
Oh can you help me to make the world look my way?
And if it doesn’t we can try again another day
Cuz We need somewhere to fall
Where worries are nothing at all
I need somewhere to fall
Somewhere to fall
Lie In the dark feeling trepidation
I see a light from your constellation
Bridge verse:
You make me feel so tall
That I could just walk right through walls
Sometimes I can’t tell up or down or why
But when you can fall free then so can I
Now I can rest even when you’ve gone away
Giving my best and you know I can always say
You gave me somewhere to fall
Where my worries are nothing at all
You gave me somewhere to fall
Somewhere to fall

Plastic Hearts

You know it seemed
Just like a dream
I thought we made a great team
Then you showed me
Opened up my heart at last
Checked the color of the grass
It really all was such a blast
Then you broke me
I’m plastic, fantastic!
Elastic, it’s drastic
And this ain’t
Sarcastic
I just want to scream
My arms bent back
My face is cracked
I need to retrace my steps back
Before you broke me
Days and Nights
I poured my heart
Into the landmines of your art
But you were waiting from the start
To discard
My plastic, fantastic!
Elastic, it’s drastic
And this ain’t
Sarcastic
I just want to dream
When your life comes to a head
And you’d die for what you’ve read
How much could you take?
Even plastic hearts can break
Fantastic, you’re plastic!
Elastic, it’s drastic
And this ain’t
Sarcastic
I just want to dream

Everything's Amazing

Unconscious fool
Subconscious angel
Follow the rules
And you’re free from danger
In your family shoes
Outside stargazing
What’s your excuse?
Everything’s amazing
No plans and no beliefs
Old hand, slow to speak
Permanent bruise
Forever lazing
May I be excused
From all the praising?
Controls to cruise
All eyes are glazing
You just can’t lose
Everything’s amazing
No plans and no beliefs
Old hand, slow to speak
Is everything amazing?
I guess it’s true
Why can’t I see what you see?
I’m just a fool
Is everything amazing?

A Bird in the Opera House
by Nick Jaina
Nick Jaina is one of the greatest songwriters Portland has ever produced. A Bird in the Opera House is one of the greatest albums by anyone ever. I've listened to it regularly for 10 years. Buy it!

Tripper is a great record. Not a dud on this one! I was lucky enough to be in a band that opened for Fruit Bats on a few shows on this tour. Eric is a wonderful guy and a great songwriter.

Not An Animal E.P.
by Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside
I've listened to Not An Animal over and over again since I traded CDs with Sallie at a show in 2009. I put this EP up there with other classics like Metallica's Garage Days. All killer, no filler!
