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

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

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

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

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

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
8.
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
9.
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

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

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!

about

Eight Track Equations evolved over a year long process of getting together at the studio a couple times a week to eat menudo, listen to records & write some songs. Jared & I were inspired by our family trips up north & the iconic Guided By Voices album 'Alien Lanes'. We wanted to hold true to the GBV way of "recording anything for any reason as long as it feels good" policy. 10% of all record sales proceeds go to One Step Beyond - An amazing adult cognitive disability center located in Peoria Arizona.

released February 25, 2013

All songs written, recorded & produced by Jared Woosley & Shane Addington.
Mastered by Andy Beisner at Lofty Perch Studios (Phx. AZ)

about

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
