Sourced
[edit]Perfecting Loneliness (2002)
[edit]- with Jets to Brazil
- The trees creak with their arthritic arms / brittle in their powederd bark / this year took ten years to / tell me that I'm alone again
- "Further North"
- If it's sad / you know it's true / God is glad on bluer moons / When your room is all you do / it comes to you
- "Psalm"
- We put a monkey up in space / and I know exactly how he felt / looking at a lattice work of stars / missing his brothers back home too much for a postcard
- "Disgrace"
Orange Rhyming Dictionary (1998)
[edit]- with Jets to Brazil
- Turtle on its back in the desert sea / and you look like a cool drink / just slightly out of reach / Draw myself into the shell / waiting on a sign from God / or a nod from hell
- "Sea Anemone"
- Be a believer / Believe everything / You'll be right half the time
- "Chinatown"
Dear You (1995)
[edit]- with Jawbreaker
- Everyone tells me they're crazy / Crazy people aren't so fucking boring / Wake me when you're through being cool 'cause I'm snoring
- "Unlisted Track"
24 Hour Revenge Therapy (1993)
[edit]- with Jawbreaker
- You don't know what I'm all about / Like killing cops and reading Kerouac
- "Boxcar"
- Put my ear to the door / I just heard gunshots and hot rods and sirensPeople kill me these days / There's keys in their eyes but they lock from the inside
- "Condition Oakland"
Interviews
[edit]- The records I end up liking I don't like right off the bat. I want to call our next record Tenth Listen. That's the test.
