I'm leaving home now Don't know when I'll try and get back I'm gonna roam now 'Might find myself in a year or two I wanna tell you, that I'm awfully fond of the way You treat me night and day Just wanted to show you, that I'm better on my own Truly better off on my own I met some friends here Sure hope they don't pull one on me Talk a lot about nature And how most people should try and be free I feel like crying, but I'm awfully fond of the way You treat me night and day Just wanted to show you, that I'm better off on my own Truly better off on my own I got into some trouble with the law I wrote you, but you still didn't call So maybe, when they say I'm ready I won't feel so adventurous at all I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise Doo-doo doo

I'll Be 02:43
I'm staring into the looking glass And all I can see is your smile I'll be waiting for my darling I'll be waiting for a while Your sundial sits on my mantelpiece I turn to it seven times a day I'll be waiting for my darling And then I'll be on my way A white horse gallops in your garden house Tells me I've gone insane But I love you and I know not of much More inside my brain When it's cold outside we call to each other Things seem clearer, don't they? I'm looking into that gallant, gallant place I see you standing all alone I'll be waiting for my darling I'll be taking you back home I'm looking into the looking glass And all I can see is your soul I'll be waiting for my darling I'll be true I hope you know When it's cold outside we call to each other Nobody knows Things seem clearer, don't they?

Happy 05:11
I'm so happy, happy I could cry Since you set foot through my door Dearest gracious, look at what I've done Now I want to be invisible Send a street car, prison break Beat them creeps in, one by one That's no mistake I need to go I just want to be alone I need to get back I just wanna get back home I'm so happy, feel like burning up Lock myself in your garage Tried to straighten out, but now all you do is run I really want to be invisible See that robot, knocking at my door? Helps me figure out, exactly what I'm dying for I need to get back I just want to be alone I need to get back I just wanna go back home I need to get back I just want to be alone Just got to get back to where I'm coming from (instrumental break) I met a violent girl I met a violent girl..

Four songs of mine, two old, two new
Recorded and produced in a DIY fashion
