Simple Guy 02:10
I'm lazy and I'm okay with that I'm kinda chubby but far away from fat I'm laid back - nothing wrong with that You got ambitions, I never gave a shit I never cared for a big career All I need is friends and a can of beer I traded my BMW For a V8 junker and a rose tattoo 'Cause I am a simple guy I love the simple things in life I am a simple man Hedonism is my game I know you think I could do better but I honestly don't see why Because I am a simple guy I don't do sports and yet I still feel good You got a tough job I got morning wood For every problem you got a fucking pill I get my fix from Netflix and chill 'Cause I am a simple guy I love the simple things in life I am a simple man Hedonism is my game I know you think I could do better but I honestly don't see why Because I am a simple guy Life is easy when your girlfriend sucks And even better giving zero fucks About the headache from being drunk tonight Or if the grass is greener on the other sid Except if that shit's home grown Then sharing is caring, you know Light one up, call it a day Let the sorrows fade away I know you think I shouldn't do drugs But I honestly don't see why Because I am a simple I am a simple I am a simple guy

I met her down at the Racoon Bar when she still had her maiden name I was shy and she was shining like a beacon in the rain I met her eyes across the bar and those eyes said 'Take me home' But my heart said 'You're a coward and you're better off alone' I never knew what I wanted From my life I never knew what I wanted But my best friend's wife I did ten shots to calm my nerves and numb that traitor in my chest Getting drunk and feeling sorry - the two things that I do best I got up, tried not to stumble, saw my best friend hold her tight Left the bar in a blur and with tears in my eyes I never knew what I wanted From my life I never knew what I wanted But my best friend's wife I bought a ticket at the airport, one way ticket, no good bye Met my best friend up in first class, now I'm his best man on Hawaii I never knew what I wanted From my life I never knew what I wanted But the sister of my best friend's wife

The Hill 02:55
I saw you standing on the hill In the roaring storm perfectly still A tear was running down your face A last salute to better days I had never seen you like this before But I knew what you were waiting for He was your first, he was your last His ship had left the harbor fast I saw you running down the hill But he won't come back and never will The sea's his maid, he had to go The sea's his maid in weal and woe The sea's his maid he won't come back to you But can't you see I love you, too? I saw them standing on the hill In the pouring rain perfectly still I saw the grief in every face I heard the mourns and elegies I had never seen you like this before Your desperate heart couldn't wait no more You gave in to the sea at last Embraced it's waves so cold and vast I saw your tombstone on the hill I never told you but I love you still The sea's his maid, he had to go The sea's his maid in weal and woe The sea's his maid he won't come back to you But can't you see I love you, too?

I'm a candidate for suicide I knew that all my life I never was the marriage type A house, two kids, a wife I'm a candidate for suicide From the day when I was born My sister turned into a rose I turned into a thorn I'm a candidate for suicide King of trash without a crown I'm one of the kids your mother hates From the very wrong part of town I'm a candidate for suicide Drugged, depressed, dead drunk No one ever gave a shit about this Dirty rotten skunk I'm a candidate for suicide Broken kid from a broken home I can't recall a single day Where I didn't feel alone I'm a candidate for suicide Can't recall a sober day Can't recall each broken heart I Wasted on my way But as you can see I'm still here Singing this song Drinking my beer I guess, I'm not more of a candidate Than everyone I know 'Cause all the small things that I do Are killing me But they're killing me pretty slow

about

Recorded on a sunny afternoon in a chilly basement with a hangover pounding in my head and an expired tuna pizza rumbling in my guts. Thanks for your patience, David!
