Lyrics

Altered Taint

I used to have a bad attitude
Yeah I was a moody dude
I used to be a bad apple
Always looking for trouble

Then day by day
I felt the anger slowly fade away

Altered Taint
I can’t explain
Something deep inside of me has changed
Altered Taint
It’s so strange
How I’m not so different
But definitely not the same
Not the same

I used to have a bad attitude
Always something to prove
I thought I was a real rebel
But I was just uncomfortable

Then day by day
I felt my inner hater fade away

In what lies between
I found the real me

Heaven on Earth

Waking up late
To a breakfast buffet

Wasting the day
On the beach in the shade

A GST cheque
You didn’t expect

Biking on the island
Without a helmet

Finding your first love
On classmates dot com
A great mystery solved
The great mystery solved

Waking up late
To a breakfast buffet
(Heaven on earth)

Watching the Jays
Beat up on LA
(Heaven on earth)

A royalty cheque
You didn’t expect
(Heaven on earth)

Riding on the island
Without a helmet
(Heaven on earth)

A future and a past
Permanently attached
Together at last
Reunited at last

Rockegnized

Rockegnized walking down the street
Verified I confirmed ID
I know it’s Matt but what’s the last name
Then I googled today’s tour date

Looking like all the people I know
Laid-back vibe with a free Mubi tote
Then I texted my girlfriend
I saw the singer of Something-Caves-In

Where’s he going
What’s he looking for
A Tim Hortons
Or a cannabis store
Or Paul’s Boutique to see a keyboard

Rockegnized highlight of my day
A second time wonder what I would say
Do you like Death of a Ladies Man?
Or Gilbert O’Sullivan?

Or Paul’s Boutique to see a keyboard
Probably Paul’s Boutique to see a keyboard

What Should I Do?

What should I do
I do not know
Haven’t a clue

Where should I go
I am in hell
Please help me choose

When I can’t decide
I visit this website
Give myself to chance
In an answer randomized

What’s the right way
Let’s give up control
And open the page

What should I say
Let’s check the window
End the debate

It’s no nice, nice to be surprised
It’s no nice, nice to be surprised

How Long Has It Been

A little sadder
A little fatter
I have a problem
With my bladder
How long
How long has it been

My hair is thin
And where’s my chin
I have baggy
Saggy skin
How long
How long has it been

Since we moved into our first apartment
Across the street from the parkette
Where we’ve stayed
All these days
As names carved in a park bench

A little sadder
A little fatter
I have a problem
But it doesn’t matter
How long
How long has it been

My hair is thin
And where’s my chin
I’m so lucky
You loved me then
How long
How long has it been

How long
How long has it been

Stay Tonight

Stay tonight
Call in sick tomorrow
Say they changed your flight
And you had your car towed
Lie through your teeth
And lie with me

Stay tonight
Say your grandma died
There’s an airline strike
And you have pink eye
Any excuse
For our truth

It’s been so long
With this old saw
Instead of goodbye
Let’s lie

Stay tonight
Call in sick tomorrow
Say they changed your flight
And you had your car towed
Lie through your teeth
And lie with me
