Monocles and Top Hats

Well it's a Saturday and we're all out to play.
We're dressed like gentleman with monocles and top hats and canes.
With corkscrew smiles and winks in our eyes, because you know that we're a real good time.
So we sing
Nobody likes a Debbie.
Nobody needs a pain.
Nobody wants the toothache
we get when we're calling you name.
So we sing
Cheers to the girls on the barstools
Salute to the friends we love
We're here to be bright and merry
and we don't need an excuse just because.
Taking a stroll down Mill street.
Stumbling over cobble stone.
I flipping love Toronto.
There's nowhere else that I'd rather call home.
Let's head over to the Maddie.
It's a one way ticket to madness.
Everything's so damn funny.
And to those who think their too much a mess
Well we sing
Nobody likes a Debbie.
Nobody needs a pain.
Nobody wants the toothache
we get when we're calling you name.
So we sing
Cheers to the girls on the barstools
Salute to the friends we love
We're here to be bright and merry
and we don't need an excuse just because.
Captain won't you steer me?
Steer me in the right direction.
Doctor won't you cure me,
Because I'm suffering from manic depression
We sing
Nobody likes a Debbie.
Nobody needs a pain.
Nobody wants the toothache
we get when we're calling you name.
So we sing
Cheers to the girls on the barstools
Salute to the friends we love
We're here to be bright and merry
and we don't need an excuse just because.
So we sing
Nobody likes a Debbie.
Nobody needs a pain.
Nobody wants the toothache
we get when we're calling you name.
So we sing
Nobody likes a Debbie.
Nobody needs a pain.
Nobody wants the toothache
we get when we're calling you name.

Descartes Duality
04:03
|
|||
|
Come back here to me and
Let my heart reconcile with my head.
If they duke it out any more,
Tomorrow morning I’ll just stay in bed.
This aint’ Descartes duality,
I’m just sick of dueling myself unwillingly.
I’m not just grasping franticly,
At something absolutely fantastical, actually
Maybe I am and I’m acting angsty,
Because my ideal cannot be reality.
Please if you can, put me to rest
Then you can leave the rest up to me.
Im sorry for what I’ve done
I’ve gone and hurt my only one
One stupid mistake
But your heart wasn’t mine to break
I could apologize a million times, But
I wont find the words or rhymes
I could say sorry in 90 ways, but
It doesn’t matter at all what I say
Cuz you trusted me and I through that away
You gave me your heart, its not a game that I
should play
I wish that you could come back here to me
And I’d come back too, to how we used to be
Let her go, Let her go
She’s not right for you
Doesn’t want what you do
I don’t know, I don’t know
Its so hard to see
Beyond past memories
Let her go let it be
Theres a reason that
Those are just memories
I don’t know I cant see
Emotions have taken the better of me
And Im blind and I know
And fears kept me here and I’m scared of what might come to be
Im right here cant you see
That the love that you lose
Can be found if you want to find me

Shimmer
02:19
|

I’m just a speck in the deep blue sea
A shimmer in the ocean, alone just me
I love my world with eyes open wide,
But I’ve got no speck here by my side
I’m just a shimmer, alone with me
What good am I with no harmony?
So let’s sing together, never be bored.
Combine our voices and my notes a chord.
By my self I’m not so brave
Cuz it takes more than one speck to make a wave but
If you sing with me it’s easy to see
How together we can be happy
I’m just a shimmer, alone with me
What good am I with no harmony?
So let’s sing together, never be bored.
Combine our voices and my notes a chord.
When I am alone I seem to move freely
But when I’m in a cloud others move with me
I’m just a shimmer, alone with me
What good am I with no harmony?
So let’s sing together, never be bored.
Combine our voices and my notes a chord.
I’m just a shimmer, alone with me
What good am I with no harmony?
So let’s sing together, never be bored.
Combine our voices and my notes a chord.

Just Pretend
04:55

Cross the yard around the bend,
Through the trees beyond the glen.
That’s where I remembered it to be.
Past the path of cobblestone,
Though the trail was overgrown.
There it was, hiding subtly.
Walk with me once more.
I’m up in my tree house,
It’s the one with the wooden door.
Walk with me once again.
Like neighbourhood boys,
From way back when.
We could both be heroes, or just sit in our tree.
Imagine all the things that we could be.
So my dearest friend, come wander once again
To a place where we can both pretend.
You and I, we were kings.
We’d battle golden dragons, believed impossible things.
Now I sit here alone,
Where we imagined crowns of leaves and wooden thrones.
The place we used to dream together,
Cracked and faded, Worn and weathered.
Stories, they don’t last forever,
Even kingdoms can be severed.
Walk with me once more.
I’m up in my tree house,
It’s the one with the wooden door.
Walk with me once again.
Like neighbourhood boys,
From way back when.
We could both be heroes, or just sit in our tree.
Imagine all the things that we could be.
So my dearest friend, come wander once again
To a place where we can both pretend…
So my dearest friend, come wander once again
To a place where we can both pretend…
