What were you thinking when you told me all those stories now? What are you doing with that guy you call your boyfriend anyhow? When you get caught in the rain, it washes all your troubles out But our problem still remains while our clothes are drying out. Just one, just two What am I supposed to do? The things that you think And the things I won't say While our clothes are gently tumbling away You said your thoughts rhyme with mine But maybe now's not the time The things that you think And the things I won't say When our clothes are neatly back in place Whoever said you made your bed and now you lie in it, Probably never took the chance and wound up trying it When you walk on past my street with your eyes on the ground, Now the cat's out of the bag, and the word's all over town You said your thoughts rhyme with mine But maybe now's not the time The things that you think And the things I won't say When our clothes are neatly back in place

Market Size 01:43
I want to be market size I want to be canonized And everyone I know, is smarter than me But everywhere I go, they're all having the same dream I want to be torn apart Cause you want it straight from the heart And everyone I know is laughing at me And everywhere I go, they're all lying to me It's elementary, but I don't go to school You sign the contract, they treat you like a fool You better hope that your touch is gold Before the week is out, they want a million sold I want to be canonized I want to be market size I want it, I want it, I want it all I want it, I want it, and I will take a fall And it's incredible That you'd sell your soul and still not have it all...

I told you yesterday When you throw your love away On him, on her There is a debt that everyone incurs For us, it just comes down to who you trust She tried to cash the check But her heart's already spent In life, in death It seems we're always trying to catch our breath Until we come back up again When the thrill becomes familiar And it loses its shine Will you still call me sweetheart? Will you say that you are mine? He tried to trace the steps Tragedy is all that's left To have, to hold He thought his road was paved with bricks of gold It only leads him to the end When I wake up in the morning And I ask you what's on your mind, Will you answer me truly? Will you look me in the eye? I told you yesterday When you throw your love away On him, on her There is a death that everyone endures For us, it just comes down to who you trust It just comes down to who you trust

It's not the end of the world But it sure feels like it when you can't find the words It's not the end of time But the store is closing, and you're locked inside It's hard, it's hard Looking for something Can't seem to find it In the miles of nothing It's hard Wish I'd go back in time When my thoughts cost a penny And friends cost a dime But it's not the end of the world But it sure feels like it when you can't find the nerve Shopping for something Can't seem to find it In the aisles, there's nothing It's hard It's not the end of the world But it sure feels like it when you can't find the will

Think about the snow in summertime You know it never feels quite right The ice should have melted months ago When we're alone, it's forty-five below Now you say you're on it Sit down and write me a sonnet But it's too late... anymore The president drinks turpentine That explains his breath But what's on your mind? Our addresses don't read the same You packed your bags But you left behind the blame

The Bends 02:48
She said to me Everybody's got their standards, your are doubted when it matters I defend me everything has got a plan that I could never understand I don't want to talk about what's going on when you're going down I don't want to trouble you with this Try to make amends every time we go too deep you always end up with the bends I set it straight anything you want to do can take you to the pearly gates I don't want to talk about what's going on when you're going down I don't want to hear about who's moving in when I'm moving out I don't want to trouble you with this

I know you've got the cure but all I've tried just makes it worse I've got the power to make it through, twelve more hours To have to hold, everyone is growing old straighten and fold, the one you want is never home You're rich I'm poor, let's speak French and then we'll start a war you take the pen I take the sword and we'll see who hurts more sweet fruit, hot crust the world is ours let's eat it up she loves me she loves me not she said a thousand things that I forgot I know you've got the cure but all I try just makes it worse I need a pond of sugar to make this pill taste less bitter sweet fruit, too much, all you do is eat the crust she loves me she loves me not she said a thousand things that I forgot

I Surrender 02:58
I, I surrender There's no hard feelings between two friends That can't get worked out before it ends, and I, I remember All the bad habits from way back then that tear at every stitch we mend and I, I remember Tell me about the time That you lost your mind Tell me about the time That you lost your mind, now it's fine I, I surrender Ten in one, and there's one in ten boredom is your oldest friend And I, got the letter You take out this and you put in that Now you just want to take it all back And I, got the letter

about

The Crabs Anacortes, Washington

The duo of Lisa Jackson and Jonn Lunsford started out modestly as just a Christmas project. The nautical themes abound as they merge Anacortes style rockin' with classic pop. You also get lovesick musings and a cry for vengence against the neighborhood bully. Definitely the catch of the day. ... more
