The Four and Two

|
You're two
You're cosy
In Love, no doubt
But now, you say you ache
For nothing, and all
So dive now you've found
Your way, to the down
Pearls deep, in the dark
and closed to the world
Hold out,
Hold on
You're fine
It's in
The four, the four, the four
And two.

Kerosene

Trade my coffee for Kerosene
Light my insides, set fire to me
All that smoke, no sign of coal
This level head will leave us all
Now i see her,
Sitting in the darkest corners
Pulling her strings
And it seems this girl, could set these boys alight
Set me burning, don't put me out
Pour the embers on my searing doubt
All that smoke and no sign of coal
She only burns, and she won't be told
Now i see her,
Sitting in the darkest corners
Pulling her strings
And it seems this girl, could set these boys alight
Now i see her,
Sitting in the darkest corners
Pulling her strings
And it seems this girl, could set these boys alight

Taxes

Won't you take me to dinner?
We'll discuss my taxes
Can't you see I'm a winner
and I shouldn't have to pay this
Can't we be civil
Over lobster cuisine
I might be persuaded
If you lavish me
And if i could sit in your pocket
You could sit in mine
And If you feel that you're worth it
Well I
I could make it worth your time
Won't you take me to dinner
We'll discuss our status
Top balcony sinners
Free living money traitors
Can't mess with the digits?
Set us up for a lifetime
We'll send it to Jersey
Reaping dollars from the dimes
And if i could sit in your pocket
You could sit in mine
And If you feel that you're worth it
Well I
I could make it worth your time
Won't you take me to dinner?
We'll discuss my taxes
Can't you see I'm a winner
and I shouldn't have to pay this

Pillow
03:31
|

|
You sleep alone
and thats no good for anyone
Found your home, in the arms of a pillow
Stretch your toes to the other side
and come undone
I long to hear you breath,
In the darkest hours
Til' then i am a ghost
Hide between the sheets
The solace of my pillow
Grit your teeth
To the sight of hand in hand
Fingers woven
Left alone, and its more than you can stand
Like the leaves, i fall to the wind
and come undone
I long to hear you breath
In the darkest hours
Til' then i am a ghost
Hide between the sheets
the solace of my pillow

Fate
02:43
|
|||
|
Couldn't help it, rolled right off my tongue
I felt an old fear, enveloping me
I was open, naked like my heart
Bared to the world and especially you
So I'm done, and its killing me
Put my foot in and its been too long to take it back again
I'm done entertaining
There's nothing left but answers
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
But its useless, you only hold my stare
And the clock ticks, my fortune away
While I'm sinking, I won't come up for air
If this is my fate, that's how it will be
So I'm done, and its killing me
Put my foot in and its been too long to take it back again
I'm done entertaining
There's nothing left but answers
I'm waiting, I'm waiting

STRANGETOWN EP
by David Ramirez
The first time i heard 'Shoeboxes' by David, i felt desperately touched. Such an expressionful, soulful honest songwriter who deserves more recognition than he gets.
