My Blood
03:04
|

An old radio in my Grandmother's sewing room
She was humming to AM static singing songs in a dixie mood
A southern carpenter's whistle echos down the hall
On his way to his garden in his sun bleached overalls.
Sawdust on the ripped up seats of his Chevrolet
He was waiving his finger at oncoming cars like he already knew their name
I heard him whisper a prayer it stumbled off his tongue
(He said) forgive me for my past & let good fortune fall upon my young
No star shines, brighter than the one in your mind
Soon it will be painfully obvious you're my blood you're my kind

Lovesick Letters
04:10
|
|||
I won't take you out
Cause after your instigation's
Fall back in my face
Oh, well I won't let you out
We have been through this vacation
And led it astray
So give a little love cause we have time on
Hold it till we stop and then we'll cry, cry, cry after night
I can't let you out
I won't take you out
After all investigations
You've come up your way
No, I won't let you out
We have all been left to face it
But, now on our face
Give a little love cause we'll have time doll
Hold it till we stop and then we'll cry, cry, cry after fire burns out
Don't put pressure on the vein
Love sick letters still remain in my dresser
I can't hide I can't explain
My heart shuts down all the same
The curse of the lonely heart
I won't let you out
Because all your instigation's
Are back in my face
Oh well I won't take you out
Cause after we've been together
We are in the same place
So give a little love for one last time doll
And hold it till stops and then we'll cry all night
After waiting for this
I won't take you out
We've lived up to expectations
But fell on our face
No I won't let you out
After all investigations
You have a safe place in my heart

Pardon This Love
02:30
|
|||
Little bit of that same old song and dance
Like we used to do-that early morning romance
Baby please, pardon this love
I want to wrap my arms around your heart
Baby please, pardon this love
This world was made for the lonely
And I've been hear too long
I'll take my wife and I'm gone
Baby please, pardon this love
My hearts awake
We can't wait
We're only hear for a little while
All I've ever wanted now

Disgustingly Sentimental
02:38
|
|||
Maybe we'll find that place you spoke of
Hid with words and thoughts that you've lost
Left it with them gold hair you're pin
Like a flower that blooms in summer
We'll catch that train to destinations
Maybe we'll board that train
Headed to our new destination home
Lately, I've been stuck on thinking
Sentimental gray sky visions
Dress warm
I will
Don't miss your train
Call when you're close
And I'll call your name
We'll catch that train
Headed to our new destinations
Maybe we'll catch that train
Headed to our new destinations
I won't miss that train
Headed to our new destination
I've got to find a place to go
It's the only place I know
Will you leave me at the place I go
will you call me on the phone
Maybe we'll catch that train
Headed to new destinations
Maybe you'll catch that train
Headed to my destination

Black Poison
03:37
|
|||
Maybe its time we decide to
Give up, give up, give up on all expectations
Cause we call, we call, we call
But no one answers and all we really have
Is just a book on the shelf
Cause we won't read
Cause we like movies instead
We care about ourselves and no one else
But maybe I care about you every second of my life
It's not a curse it's just a thing I like to do
And I am happy with you
I won't fall
For that trick again
Maybe next time you will catch me off guard
No I won't fall
For that love again
I've got enough black poison feeding my heart
Maybe it's time that you decide to
Give up, Give up on all your exaggerations
We recall, recall, recall
But save the station and remember to forget
I think the number was one but can't be sure
Cause there's no shining new star
Cause we care about ourselves and no on else
But maybe I care about you every second of my life
It's not a curse it's just a thing I like to do
And I am happy with you
I won't fall for that trick again
Maybe next time you will catch me off guard
No, No I won't fall for that love again
I've got enough black poison feeding my heart

Life of the Party
03:50
|
|||
You were the life of the party, but now you're all blue
Just an angry boy without a toy, I'll give you something to destroy
You were the light in the harbor, bringing all those ships home
Now you're just a storm, leaving sailors all alone
Chuck it over the canyon
Just enough speed
To make History
You were the reason they believed, but now they just doubt
All those things you dreamed of and all that stuff you talked about
You were the constant reminder all the day long
Now you're just a song & no one wants to sing along
Chuck it over the canyon
Just enough speed
To make History

Paper to Film
03:47
|

Standing on that shore
Water freezing cold
We will take the plunge
Into the sun or run away
You'll know all my faults
As I will know all yours
And even if it they hurt you can have me anyway
We'll row both our own way
Don't worry we've got time
There's a spark in your eyes
When you see me off at night
Don't you see the same in mine
Please come closer now
We haven't been around
Just put the car in park for a while
They all can wait
I could show you how
And you can say not now
We'll learn to read the book
But in both our own ways
Don't worry we've got time
There's a spark in your eyes
When you see me off at night
Don't you see the same in mine
This time it won't be long
Cause we write the words to our song
Before we wander in
Maybe second guess
All we offer it
We go, we go
Standing on that shore
We're there again once more
The water's freezing cold
But we'll row both our own way
We will row both our own way
Don't worry we've got time
There's a spark in your eyes
When you see me off at night
Don't you see the same in mine
This time it won't be long
Cause we write the words to our song

Runway Runaway
02:34
|
|||
Watching all the planes fly overhead
You be careful what you wish for kid
Make me laugh out loud
Can't catch my breath
Your smile makes it hard for me to
Keep a straight face I guess
But just don't lead me on
Please don't lead me on
Shut down both our phones instead
We'll stay sleeping here in bed
I meant nothing by what I said
It was joke, could have been much better I guess
But just don't lead me on
Please don't lead me on
No, just don't lead me on
Please don't lead me on

The Lonely Popular
02:36
|
|||
How did the thought escape me
It was trapped inside my mind
You want me to eat my words
But I don't have the appetite
Sunlit side walks and neon signs
I don't wanna lose another minute of sleep
It's lonely behind these eyes
Baby I don't have to say it
Cause I want you to read my mind
You don't wanna make me choose
Because your city's the same as mine
Sunlit sidewalks and neon signs
I don't wanna lose another minute of sleep
It's lonely behind these eyes
I don't wanna miss another minute of peace
It's a war behind these lines
Concrete sidewalks and sad swollen eyes
The lonely popular will decide
Sunlit sidewalks and neon signs

Sweet Mourning
01:47
|
|||
Why, why sweet mourning
Heaven don't let her go
Why, oh why sweet mourning
Our love was on overflow
When it hurts so bad to be true
When it hurts so bad when you lose
It's all about a heartache (oh yeah)
Headed for me today
Don't worry bout' the way I feel cause I don't even know
It's all about a heartache
Headed for me today (oh yeah)
Don't worry boy
(Where) Innocence goes evil follows
Why, why sweet mourning
Heaven don't let her go
Why, why sweet mourning
I'll never let you go
Would it hurt so bad to be you
Will hurt so bad when you lose
It's all about a heartache (oh yeah)
Headed for me today
Don't tell me bout' the way I feel cause' I don't even know
It's all about a heartache (oh yeah)
Don't worry boy
(Where) Innocence goes evil follows

Little Black Dress
03:43
|
|||
Take it all off my grave
I don't like flowers anyway
Little black dress
You were crying and she wondered why
You were crying and she looked surprised
She wouldn't go
She stood her ground right by your side
An innocent soul
Take it all of my grave
I never wanted to be buried anyway
Such a black mess
I never meant to leave you alone
Would you know
If I blew wind through your hair?
Would you know
If I shook the back of your chair
Would you know
I'm right behind you
Fall is coming
Along with the rain
So you better get inside
I learned your name last May
That day all I could think
Was baby I'll be back in a little while
I'm sorry I wasn't back in a little while

The Owl
03:26
|

Sightless sun, orange over mountains. Restless one compare the sky. You should want to take a minute. You should want to keep it to yourself.
And we all
See it all
Even I
Take it for granted sometimes.
Run for high ground in the canyon
We'll be fine as long as there's a fire
Certain sounds set off the siren
Maybe one has stayed behind
But we all
See it all
Maybe I
Take it for granted sometimes

The true lyric content of this song is really a mystery and is up for debate...you'll have to ask Robert Pollard what they really are!

The Son of Sons Phoenix, Arizona
TSOS was born during an impromptu banjo / guitar campfire session in the winter of 2012, while visiting Jared's parent's cabin on a joint family trip to beautiful Happy Jack Arizona. This weekend getaway spawned a year and half long adventure with a digital 8 track, a lot of menudo and many nights recording one take songs with whatever instruments we had laying close by. ... more
