Daily Routine

this is my daily routine
spend my hours on computer screen
I lay around for a while
get feeling like I’m supposed to be
I love the daily routine
take care of my basic needs
I have a daily routine
I thought it looked better inside a dream
come on and hit me in the head real hard
I haven’t hurt myself quite enough so far
save me I don’t wanna think
crunch crunch I’m feeling pink
this is my daily routine
I wonder what it’s like to be feeling clean
guess I should probably know
it’s something I’ve already seen
come on and listen to me cry for help
‘cause sometimes I feel like I wanna kill myself
if I took a trip back in time
would the days still seem to feel so unkind
I’m in prison but I think this place was built by me
come on and show me how I’m supposed to live like I’m supposed to be
I see the people who spend their lives in a worthwhile shine
I’m laying down spending my life on wasting time

feel good, feel ok
you in a cage, me in a cave
or the other way around
either way, I’m feeling down
did I speak myself too soon
I guess I didn’t really know what I was talking about
did I put it all out on the line
or was that some other time
who can I tell about everything
when I don’t even know anything for myself
am I wrong or is that going on
I don’t know just quite what’s going on
I believe things all the time
did you believe me when I told you that I’m
feeling a bit over the hill
or do you have reason to remember still
who can I tell about everything
when I don’t even know anything for myself
am I wrong or is that going on
am I wrong or is that going on
I don’t know just quite what’s going on

I’m Really Trying

It gets much worse at times
When I feel like I’m fine
My eyes start going bright
I’m too restless to unwind
Just say I never meant to break your heart
It doesn’t matter that we got this far
The way it happened is the way things are
You know I’m trying not to take this hard
Just say I never meant to break your heart
It doesn’t matter that we got this far
The way it happened is the way things are
You know I’m trying not to take this hard
Progress can come in spurts
But what’s that all really worth?
I have nothing to send
So I’m gonna shut up then
Just say I never meant to break your heart
It doesn’t matter that we got this far
The way it happened is the way things are
You know I’m trying not to take this hard
Just say I never meant to break your heart
It doesn’t matter that we got this far
The way it happened is the way things are
I’m really trying not to take this hard

D19

sometimes you need that memory sound
to get your music off the ground
it’s something that you could have known
dynamic microphone you know
I was just nineteen when I met my D19
so old but new to me, can’t wait to see what’s gonna be
I know my friends used to like you a lot and I figured I’d better give you a shot
but I was shot down, didn’t work out
the right sound didn’t come out
D19 could have been my queen
prettiest mic I’d ever seen
she would’ve made everything sound so serene
she’s my D19
plugged in, somethings wrong
then I heard your bass response was gone
roll off didn’t roll a thing
couldn’t really hear me sing
I’ll send her back home to England now
maybe someone there can fix her maybe they know how I feel
stupid like I wasted my time, but a D19 could have been so fine
D19 could have been my queen
someday I’m gonna find one that’s really clean
I would have used it for the drums with my recording machine
she’s my D19
D19 should have been my queen
she was the prettiest microphone I’d ever seen
and when they used it on the Beatles it sounded so mean
she’s my D19

Loneliness

green things all around in here
fan blows ringing in my ear
how much time have i spent here
when I look and you appear
things to do I’m not allowed
got a brand new feeling now
I think that time is slowing down
things I do and I’m not proud
I feel dead
laying in my bed
filling up with dread
getting in my head
but somehow I stay
I used to look forward to this day
now it’s time
and I don’t think I was ready
cause I don’t get dressed till I’m going out
I don’t know what I feel stressed about
I don’t know what I need, I was all wrong
cause all I wanted was some loneliness
guess I’ll have plenty of it soon
used to think I don’t have time for this
but now it’s all I wanna do
all I wanted was some loneliness
guess I’ll have plenty of it soon
but now you’ve gone some thousand miles away
and I’ve got nothing left to do
start to think about all our time
but now it’s gone and I’m losing mine
I wish I could have known I was all wrong
cause all I wanted was some loneliness
guess I’ll have plenty of it soon
there’s just no way for me without you love
and now I realize that it’s true
all I wanted was some loneliness
guess I’ll have plenty of it soon
but all the days are filled with loneliness
now you’ll have plenty of it too

I’d believe in anything you want me to see
I don’t care if it’s real or pretend
I think that my body gave a warning to me
When the blood wouldn’t rush to my head
A heavy hum was hanging over everything
I sank into the sound
I collapsed on the ground
But I’ve got a way to feel good
Stuck in the back of my mind
I’ve got a way to feel good
To burn out bright
I could stay
in the dark for you
And i want to
Paint a picture of the way you want it to be
Did it look half as good as you planned?
I think that my body has a secret to keep
Can I shrink any more than I have?
I’ve been finding trouble in peripheral scenes
Through the crack in the door and the holes in the floor
I’ve got a way to feel good
Stuck in the back of my mind
I’ve got a way to feel good
Just close your eyes
Thought you knew
If I wanted to
I could ask you

Trash

I can turn the hand
I leave a trail now I can make it back
keep hold only way I can
tie a rope to hold on to the past
I would cross the street
tar is sticking underneath my feet
all that time I had
prick my toes on walnuts in the grass
don’t want to hold it if it isn’t mine forever
but I grab onto anything and add it to the clutter
what am I doing
collecting trash
I can turn the page
calendar from ten years ago
I could never turn away
can’t stop watching something getting old
what am I doing

I Wanna Die

I don’t know how I could do this to myself
the feeling that I have is not one of health
I guess I’m moving in the right way for bad
but I keep going
I know I can’t decide what’s right and what’s wrong
I cannot trust myself I haven’t for long
without the comfort of my comfortable past, I wonder why...
I wanna die
when I wake up I want to go back to sleep
I can’t decide if I’m a person or sheep
I just can’t break my routine and I don’t know if I want to
I can’t confide in any one of my friends
because I know it will lead into my end
I can’t believe in anything that I think,
and I wonder why...
I wanna die

I don’t know how this all became
but every day I just feel so strange
emptiness can fade away
emptiness still has its pain
looking back on my worst days
I’d be shaking, wonder what is wrong
now I wonder what’s the first day
but now it’s hopeless, I can’t stop gagging
I’m too busy telling lies
can i trust you with my time
if I don’t cough up my own brain
if I can suffer my own shame
I’m part of your joke, my insides shown
I’m gonna feel so bad when I get home
drum in my head
fill up on bread
what do I need
to make it complete
It’s four ‘o clock
now it’s getting dark
I haven’t eaten anything
I can’t believe in everything
seven ‘o clock, I wake up and it’s dark
I haven’t eaten anything

This might be the tightest "indie garage pop-tending-rock" album I know of. Arrangements are top notch. Correcting a glaring omission in my collection here by buying the Beths albums while it's still _just_ NZ Music Month! What an opening track! Jump Rope Gazers and Don't Go Away - instrumentation is outstanding on both tracks - tough choice, any one makes for a worthy choice as fave track.
