Paul and the Patients: To the Lions!

When All Of Your Days Were Fun

I did this years ago, but I feel it’s more relevant now that time has passed and it still holds true for me. I realized over the holiday that everyone’s changed but I stayed the same, still trying to hold on to what I thought was supposed to be forever. That everything is possible and we could recklessly explore music and drugs and places and people. I saw my cousin Rachel with her husband and baby and it was so weird that I listen to the album we made together at age 15 and it’s still all I want to do. I plan out the sophomore effort all the time although she’s very busy and very happy being grown up. I’ll post the record for free I guess.

We met at school
We’re the chosen ones
Since the day we ruled
Don’t know what we’ve done

For a moment when your man is gone
And you’re tired of getting dishes done
When you’re laying down your baby son
Please think of us
And try to remember
When all of your days were fun

We met at school
We slept in the hall
Now I think it through
I never changed at all

We wanted to keep you
But now it’s over
We wanted to keep you away
But now it’s all over
Why didn’t you want us
Why didn’t you want us

When we met at school
We stayed up for days
We were all such fools
Guess I stayed that way

Waiting For You

patp — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 16:21:40 +0000

I’m waiting for you
It’s been a couple of years
And now I’m waiting for you
I’ve had a couple of beers
And now I wonder to myself
Will you see all my fears
Because I’ve had a couple times
With a couple of tears
And I’m waiting for you
Been a very long time
And now I’m getting pretty nervous
Gotta try to unwind
And now I wonder to myself
Are you gonna be mine
Or are you comin now to meet me with a different design

I’m not ready for you
I’m not ready for you
But I got nothin to lose
Nothin to lose

I’m waiting for you and I’m looking around
And now I’m thinking of some topics
That will make me profound
And Now I realize te perfect words can never be found
And now I’m gettin pretty nervous
As I stare at the ground

I’m not ready for you
I’m not ready for you
But I got nothin to lose
Nothin to lose

Still I think you won’t approve of me

I’m waiting for you
It’s been a couple of years
And now I’m waiting for you
I’ve had a couple of beers
And now I wonder to myself
Will you think I’m sincere
Or should I run up to the bar for a couple more beers
And I’m waiting for you
Been a very long time
And now I’m getting pretty nervous
Gotta try to unwind
And now I wonder to myself
Are you gonna be mine
Or are you comin now to meet me
Cause you wanna be kind

I’m not ready for you
I’m not ready for you
But I got nothin to lose
Nothin to lose

Still I think you won’t approve of me

Oh no here you come
You don’t remember me (walking right by me)
I don’t say a word so this will never be (such stupidity)

Sleeping With The Laundry

The truth is gonna make you cold
Cold
The truth is gonna hurt your soul
Oh

Cold

The truth is gonna make you cold
Cold
The truth is what you’ve not been told
Oh

Cold

Away from me
Away from you
That is the truth

You shiver in this house of cold
Cold
You painted all the windows gold
Oh

Cold

Over

patp — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 19:11:05 +0000

If it’s over

Why am I singing to your heart right now

So what now Am I allowed

To try and get you back somehow

So what now Am I allowed

To try and get you back somehow

If I’m loud

I sing it loud

You’ll turn around

Maybe if I sing loud

I sing it loud

You’ll turn around

Yesterday you saw the doctor

Couldn’t find your heart

Couldn’t do no CPR

Says you’re gonna fall apart

But your heart

Little do you know

I have it in my room

There’s nothing you can do

Yesterday you said I love you

But couldn’t use your heart

He says he feels you’re so apart

It’s over from the start

But your heart

Little do you know

I have it in my room

i have it in my room

there’s nothing you can do

If you never turn around

I’ll keep your heart forever

And I’ll dress it in a dressing gown

So Enough

I saw this talk show where this very obese woman had been proposed to by this dude who said they could get married only once she lost 400 lbs. She began exercising to lose the weight but a week in she died from the strain.

lyrics

You come to me
Saying you’ll wait away
You’re tellin me
No matter what they say
You’re tellin me
You’ll be waiting with a ring
Right there for me
And I know I’m big
But I’ll work all day
I’m tellin you
I’ll cut this weight away
I’m tellin you
I’m gonna work all day

Said enough
In my heart I want you so enough
In my heart I want you so enough
In my heart I want you so enough

I know I’m big
But I worked all week
I’m telling you
And I never ever cease
I’m tellin you
It’s not beyond my reach

I’m sorry my love
I pushed it to hard
I pushed and I wasn’t thinking
I’m sorry my love
I pushed it too hard
I pushed and I’m really sinking

Saturday

patp — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 14:40:09 +0000

Come Saturday we’re gonna take a drive
Come Saturday we’re gonna take a drive
I look at you under the autumn moon
I look at you
Maybe you’ll want me too

Don’t lie
I know you’ve been messing with other guys
And I don’t know what I’ll do
If you don’t tell me the truth
And I don’t know what I’ll do

Come Saturday we’re gonna take a drive
Come Saturday we’re gonna take a drive
I look at you under the autumn moon

Don’t lie
I know you’ve been messing with other guys
And I don’t know what I’ll do
If you don’t tell me the truth
And I don’t know what I’ll do

Die faker
You no good heartbreaker

Don’t lie
I know you’ve been messing with other guys
Don’t you lie
I know you’ve been messing with other guys
And I don’t know what I’ll do
If you don’t tell me the truth
And I don’t know what I’ll do
If you don’t tell me the truth

Don’t follow me in my dreams

I don’t need you to be there

Oh it’s enough when I’m awake

That I still can’t get over

Please won’t you show mercy

Like you would for a little child

Don’t follow me in my mind

I don’t want you to be there

Oh it’s enough in real life

That I don’t have to picture

Please won’t you show mercy

Like you would for an unborn child

Since you just told me

You don’t wanna hold me

You don’t wanna see me

Like it’s just so easy

but you don’t wanna free me

Let me go Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

Just stay there, just stay there, just stay there Just stay there, stay there, stay there

Please please baby

Don’t follow me in my heart

I don’t need you to be there

What if someone else comes along

And I still can’t get over

Please won’t you show mercy

Like you would for a little child

Between Space and Clouds

patp — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 19:45:50 +0000

this is about being on a plane

I look at the clouds

I look at the sky

I look at the stars a mile high

I need a change in my life

Remember the girl

Remember the touch

Remember the things I loved so much

I need a change in my life

And soon we’ll be landing down

I’ll get my feet back on the ground

I really wanna scream but in this window seat I won’t make a sound

And I’m never gonna fly

But I think i wanna try

And I can’t let go

Not in the exit row I’m waiting by

I’m in the wind

I feel it whirl

Against the edges of the world

I need a change in my life

Remember the feel

Remember the heart

Remember the love before it fell apart

I need a change in my life

Can’t Do Any More

patp — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 01:40:19 +0000

Spent all my life
Tryin to get your attention
And now even to this day
Nothin even to mention
All this work
Almost beyond comprehension
And now I’m still nowhere,
this was not my intention
You said to put it on out
Then the rest will follow
They don’t tell you how from the bank you’ll borrow
Then you try to pay it back with all your sorrows
And you hope and you wish there’s no tomorrow

I can’t do any more
I can’t do any more
I can’t give you any more
I can’t give you anymore
I go la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
But you go
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
So I go
I go la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
But still you go
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

You say what’s up?
You are so depressing
Acting like it is a curse and not a blessing
It’s a wound
I keep pulling off the dressing
I find it hard to be amused
I am confessing

Now I don’t have anything
I don’t have anything
I gave you everything
i gave you everything
Just my la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Spineless

patp — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 21:15:58 +0000

You tell me that I’m petrified
And what I want I can’t decide
Oh it’s just my foolish pride
And I keep it all inside

But still you never heard me say
I don’t think I that I can stand another day
Or that I could remain
For the rest of my life

I’ll get angry
I’ll get angry
I’ll get loud
I’ll get angry
I’ll get angry
I’ll get loud
I don’t need this any more
And I’m telling you right now
And I hope I’m making you proud

You say that we’re not synchronized
You can’t read my words behind my eyes
Oh I can’t stay on this other side
For the rest of my life

You tell me that I hurt you bad
These words I said I cannot take them back
Don’t you miss what we had
When I kept it all inside
