Single Dad
00:29
|

|
I'm just a single dad in a house full of daughters
Who always wanted sons
Y-chromosome, why have you forsaken me?
I could be having fun
Going to football games
Going to baseball games
Doing whatever it is that boys do - I don't know!
But if you're a boy who's fucking my daughter please don't go.

Hana's Song
02:54
|

|
Hey there, buddy! How you doin?
Can I talk to your girl?
Oh there ain't nothin to it
She's beautiful to the whole world
I've been away - it's been too long
Tight-lipped, and useless
And trapped inside Hana Song
A pretty picture in a game ain't a person
It's a knife into your heart
And I know that co-dependence is a sin
I wasn't built to be alone
Take me home, take me home tonight
Fill me up with passion's thrill
I need someone to be my lover
And I've elected you to end the chill
Take me to your favorite movies
Do with me what you will
Tomorrow we fight, but for tonight
I'll know I got it still
Expect a letter from your fist
Ten-step directions, telling me to
"Nerf This!"
And I know I've been well down this road before
Oh, annyeonghaseyo
Take me home, take me home tonight
Fill me up with passion's thrill
I need someone to be my lover
And I've elected you to end the chill
Take me to your favorite movies
Do with me what you will
Tomorrow we fight, but for tonight
I'll know I got it still
And we can split the bill
And then we'll-
Oh, you know the deal.

Gondola
02:03
|
|||
|
Hello, darling
You're looking nice
What's your secret
What is your price?
It's something to do when you're alone
It's something to do when they're not home
I'm skipping country for you
Light up a gauloise when you see me coming through
I'm so in love with you!
Gondola rides just for two
Venice is a city of forgotten youth
Can I get a foot inside your head?
Tell me, tell me
When you're on the street
Are they special?
Are they all your people?
It's something to do when you're alone
It's something to do when you're all alone.

Radical Islam
02:39
|
|||
|
"Does this wine taste what it's like to kiss you?"
You asked me as you breathed onto my face
And I'll unleash this global proclamation:
I'd do the same if I were in your place
(in German towns)
Is it wrong of me to talk to you during our day-to-day
And nurse a wound that never fades away?
Is it radical Islam to want this every day?
We never reap what we sow anyway
And I will be a loser till you say
And I am still a loser to this day

Oh, when I first saw your face
You stalked around me like a lion
Hunted - then you stole my heart
Then you got bored of your prey
You went to find some other pastures
Where you could just work your art
I've kicked myself 100 times
But 1000 times you're on my mind
Just tell me why
Why is it I'm always shaking
Why is it my heart keeps breaking
When I'm near you, Lion Heart?
My love - it burns!
I know I'm heading for disaster
But I just want it to move faster
Are you lying, Lion Heart?
Hey ladies! You know what I'm talking about, dontcha?
Ooooh, madness, sadness, end of days:
Annyeonghaseyo!
Just tell me why
Why are my hands always shaking
Why is it my heart keeps breaking
When I'm 'round you, Lion Heart?
Our love - it burns!
I know we're heading for disaster
But I just want it to move faster
Are you lying, Lion Heart?
Tell me why
Why I crave your lying heart
When will I
Dare forsake your lying heart?

Nocturnal
03:10
|
|||
|
If all homes have monsters, then I am the worst
I bide time in silence, like a long-forgotten curse
Crawl under your covers, as if I'm your first
Oh I know that you know
No words can be spoken, no past can be redeemed
Two frightened children and nocturnal schemes
So I cut our hearts out to see if they bleed
And they don't
(cunnilingus)
Whispers in darkness must prove that I live
Alone with my savior: I take when he gives
And though he says nothing, I hear through the mist
"Oh I hate you so much."

Hey Ladies 2
01:18
|
|||
|
You would hate me yes its true
Fucked up fantasies of you
Oh but inside, there's just too many guys that want to be your man
And you can wait, though it will weigh you down until you drown in sand
Oh hey, ladies, you know what I'm talkin' about, don't you?
When the guy says it's time to move on, it ain't easy
It don't get no easier
But inside your head, there's a voice that is loud and vociferous
And when you're dying in your bed it sure don't make no difference.

The Diary
02:33
|
|||
|
One time, I read your diary in Paris
And I saw the words "I am in love"
So I thought, that I should turn the page
This sounds familiar
And what I saw, I could not wrap around my mind
I thought it was familiar
I'd heard those words before
Flights of fancy, neverender:
Will you crawl into my brain?
You never, ever told me
Secrets keep themselves alive
It made me think of all the times you'd told me the same words
Could every one have been a lie?
Or was it just that you just did not know the words?
Your English was shaky at the time
And I know "j'aime" means different things in different languages
It weighed upon my mind
You never could have known
I hid the diary back upon the shelf
And never opened my mouth
What the hell
Until I wrote this song

Magical Girls
01:40
|
|||
|
I'm a magic girl, I can conquer the world
I'll run circles around everybody
You're an honest boy, but I see through your ploy
There's not an honest bone in your body
I could run away with you
And we'd be happy
We could build this earth for two
And we'd be happy
We could climb a mountain
Shoot out into space and we'd be free
We'd be happy

Parents will understand, parents will understand
Progeny was not made for eternal strife
You are the guardian of the dishonest man
Temper your armor, bask in your holy light
Do not fret for your brothers
Do not disturb one another
No one can tell you how you should live your life
Soldiers will carry on, shoulders to Lebanon
Solder your worry, they were not worth the fight
Perish inside the night, cherish your marriage right
Angel of mercy, yours is the side I'm on
Do not fret for your brothers
We can't disturb one another
No one can tell you how you should live your life

Red Star
01:01
|
|||
|
Sing it when you can
Let em know it's true
Blame it on a red star in your youth
Keep em under your thumb
Keep their minds from truth
Blame it on America - there's truth!
But I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it with you
Just leave me in my head, I know what's true
And it ain't you.

Brendan Steere Pasadena, California
Singer/songwriter from awesome alternative rock band Free Parking!
I also make movies.
Brendan Steere recommends:
My real band, which is where all the good stuff goes, trust me.
go to albumIf you like Brendan Steere, you may also like:
supported by 9 fans who also own “Demons”
For me, I love the way the lyrics accompany the sound. The sort of juxtaposition of lyrics about mental health and loneliness with the typically upbeat instrumentals, some harsher than others.

Asuka Re(build)

In essence, this is an album about crushing on Asuka from NGE but it crushed my heart in a different way
