You Promised 02:18
You say it's on, Like a vampire on the phone. Calling all souls to home. Let's say it's true, There's six more things to do. You know the type. All of similar stripe, doing everything at night. A King of cons. To his tower hanging on. You promised me an answer, With your last dying breath, I accept. It's not what you were after but laughter you don't get. Makes you upset. You wear the pants, An aggressive stance no one else will get a chance. You say it's true, The miracle is you. I feel the lo of something Pocahantas grab your bow and a foe. The arrows only matter, When your aim is true, straight at you. Raging is on, Like a battle on the Sun solar flares at noon. I'll get my gum and chew it straight at you. With a fool that's what you do.

Like the Sun 03:27
Each time that you go Best part of me leaves. Just grass without green, Maybe a water-less stream. Your smile it's the cure Straightens my back Helps fill in the cracks Keeps my heart from going flat. When you're around I find Myself likewise inclined. Things that you do Make me want you more Days without you the're a bore. Pointless getting up from the floor. Is there such a thing As loving too much? What stuff! I'll never have my fill of you I feel so renewed. Feels like the Sun shining down when you smile. The tears when they fall it's so I Can stand tall and straight for a while Until the clouds clear and you feel alright. Sound bites and blue light, Wake up around midnight To pee you typing furiously I say something funny You smile at me and I Fall back asleep. It's like the Sun shining down when you smile...

I waited so long for you, To sing my favorite song. Something soft but sweet like me. Like something from a memory. I really, really, really Kinda really need for you to see That I'm a sailor on a sail boat Sailing on an inland sea. I waited so long to find Believe the term for this is piece of mind. Now a calm on us descends. Find yourself forgetting When it starts and when it ends. Fellas I'm a solo acapella Singing slightly out of key. Blame it on my age but i'm Grateful for the stuff that comes between. I waited oh so long, I waited oh so long, I've waited longer than Anyone's ever done Save for that Top 40 band Playing in Des Moines. I waited so long you see Now I know you like my ABCs That's the thing about getting close Like slipping into favorite clothes. I waited oh so long, I waited oh so long, I waited longer than Anyone's ever done Save for the guy pushing Jesus tracts in Dubuque.

I was thinking just the other day, What a fine, fine time we had. Me in a thousand pictures every which way, Smiles to beat the band. That's us sinking in the suds, In a clawfoot tub with views along the shore. Being young, singing songs seemed fun, These songs I sung I high 'em all on your door. Let me break it down in simple pieces so If our places changed you would always know I felt the same. Sun sets shadows getting long There's a song there if only I can wait. Verses come when they do from unknown sources, But I'm grateful just the same. So sign it loud and sing it true, There's not much time and so much left to do. We'll run it through one more time and call it done, I need you near to finish this old song. Fight my way through all these words and phrases that, Tie my hands behind me make me wonder if You felt the same. You got it wrong you picked up the phone, I heard you laugh your mom said "Who's that?"

Summertime 03:09
Hillsides of golden grass Swaying in a dance summer time the way It's always been. Coastal fog hides the Fiercest sun beware it will Burn your skin Every single track Every cowpath, switch back circles back to time when I was young. In my boots, I stood 10 ft tall Towering over one and all The pool feels cold Agianst my skin Watching ellow jackets swim They bite you then bite him Feels like it something We just got right Feels like it's something We just got right Mm hm That's right. We hike all day To the Nike missle base You heard me say There's ghosts around that place. Picken lichen Of the cement walls Tugin on the iron rings. We drew some map and made our way. cross rancher's fence in May Those were some days Feels like it's something We just got right.

You and Me 03:14
You and me, It's a business bring your dog and we'll see. Four legged friend loyal to the end, Face every danger with me. You and me, If you count my demons make it "three." Speaking in tongues, wrestling ghosts for fun. A truer heart than mine you've never seen. By the grace of gods whose names only you know I stumble hard. My shin gets barked but we find a way... You and me, Driving to a friend's to smoke some weed. Fighting for my soul while kicking in a goal. Truer heart than this there's never been. Ocean slows my thoughts until they float away, Behind my back down to the crack I feel okay. You and me. Been down this road before you saving me. Voices in my head filling me with dread. Turvey-topsey times this destiny.

about

Although some of the material was initially written in 2017 ("Seems to Me," "Feels the Same," the majority of the songs first appear in late 2019 and 2020. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and requisite social distancing, the Moraggots did not have access to Mike Spinrad's most excellent percussion. Instead, the beats here are simple being played by myself. I am proud of the coffee pot "hi hot."

The album begins with "haircut," relating images of SF's Upper Market/Castro District, Male Image barber shop, Cafe Du Nord and more. You Promised Me is another Trump-inspired rocker. "Feel Like the Sun" I wrote to my wife for her birthday.
