Kay Hanley Album

i woke up early on a monday
and it suited me fine
now that the leaves had started turning
and its cold outside
cause the sun surely shines
the autumn outta come
you used to say you like and
well i still like it

i never got your message
i didn't think that you cared anymore
now that you're out in los angeles
youve kinda closed that door
but soon ill need some warm air
im coming out in novermber
will you be there? Will you be there?

this fall
fall

Tell me, could the reddest tree
Definitely give me something to figure out
or is that impossible now

i wore my red fuzzy sweater
through the frosty grass today
and it made me feel so safe and warm
like cherry marmalade
: and it looks like i might
plant myself where i am and just travel light
: It looks like I might

fall, fall, fall fall, fall, fall, fall..........

oh the simple days
in a haze out on peaceful seas
and you shook me out of my dungarees

and it's true
it's not a lie how time does fly
especially in good company

elevated by the view
and i got myself so terribly unglued

oh the simple days
i'm amazed despite my strategies
and there can't be many days like these

so gimme gimme everything this dreadful life has got to adore
they said i had enough but now i think i really need some more
cause i like the sounds of my feet hitting the ground

don't be so afraid you've got it made
you're only 25 but johnny black and humbolt green
made it worth the drive

and it's not a lie
because it's true youth is wasted on youth
especially when you let it pass you by

elevated by the view
and i've got myself so totally confused

gimme gimme everything this dreadful life has got to adore
they said i had enough but now i think i really need some more
cause i like the sounds of my feet hitting the ground

everybody gets so wrapped around the variables
but i was never very good at math at all
everybody gets so wrapped around them and i guess that i would too
i'm not in the mood

gimme gimme everything this dreadful life has got to adore
they said i had enough but now i think i really need some more
gimme gimme everything this dreadful life has got to adore
they said i had enough but now i think i really need some more
gimme gimme everything this dreadful life has got to adore
they said i had enough but now i think i really need some more
cause i like the sound of my feet hitting the ground
i like that sound

the witness said its extraordinary
she should've listened when
you'll be soon dead and buried
i make a scene
you know what i mean
for cryin out loud
red cosmos pink
they all toasted you blind
i needed another drink
just to look you in the eye
cause i don't want you to go
i don't want you to go
i miss you already

satellite
blue salt water taffy
so don't ride down
to the biggest step
satellite i want you to be happy
if you smile for me we'll pretend like
you never left

i wish id tried to meet you at the airport
i wish that tonight the west was your last resort
but if i can keep the black coat
you can keep the blue clean coat?

i only want you to be happy and i know that i could make you happy
if you never left

I said its only worth doing to bother you
and he said well you must be tripping
Yes that was true but I came here to rescue you
Now i'm a stone on a lake and i'm skipping

Chady lights the way
Chady saves the day

We were at best with a drink and a cigarette
and we darkened a fine line
I was busy ignoring his litany of regrets
It was by grand design

Chady lights the way
Chady saves the day

All those photographs
Pulled from gilded frames
All the breaking glass
I want it back
Now you're so pure
Propped up by your ghost
All the cheap allure
I want it back

But memory fades and lies

I just want a life
I don't want to hurt anyone
But sometimes you have to
I just want a life
I don't want to hurt anyone
But sometimes

Chady saves the day

It was a gift to forget what I said
'Cause what you heard
Those were just empty words
Like a blast it's a telling telegraph from the past
Was it the empty things
That are gonna last?
And it made me free
The way I wanna fly
In your sheltering sky
Redemption was like
A ticker tape parade
Keep my mouth shut smile and wave
With a fistful of luck this is a stickup
So now you now the world is saved
From lipstick boobs and babes
And it made me free....
So the words hurt and my head said
You got the fire lit
So now I get it
I'll live for you if you live for me too

with this a girl might have just given up
when i stopped listening to my mind
still i summoned the will
i chase you like you'd committed a crime
i just want what's mine
and the lights went down around us
so i wore it like stiletto
and i shoulda hid what i got
shed a tear
aint this princely ghetto

it was on your faded blue jeans
when i finally saw it again
im not too young
don't be scared nothing wrong
just jump on and say it's a sin?
just let me in

and the lights went out around us
so i wore it like stiletto
and i shoulda hid what i got
shed a tear
isn't this a princely ghetto

with this a girl might have just given up
so i stopped listening to my mind
still i summoned the will
i chase you like you'd committed a crime

and the lights went out around us
so i wore it like siletto
and i shoulda hid what i got
shed a tear
aint this a princely ghetto

Walk out the door
Turn around
Pick up the phone
Put it down
Your voice gets so disappointed
And I don't want to hear that sound
Said the queen bee
Get thee back
And trampoline me to the right track
I said I'm sorry
And I can't say it any better than that
Every moment gets replayed
And recreated in my head
I go back to all the perfect things
I wish I would have said
I'd be made in the shade
Fantastical sweet surprise
Maniacal was my demise
It left me standing
With a solar landing in my eyes
Said the queen bee
Everything's wrong
So go ahead
And get along
But first do your worst
I got my best happy ending face on
Every moment gets replayed......
If you're having trouble understanding what I mean
What I've been meaning to say
Is we've got to call our own armistice day
And if it's all a circle
Everything to me's a circle
I'll just cover my eyes
And when I cover my eyes
I miss the parade
Said the queen bee
Take it back
Every moment gets replayed.....

like a grade school valentine
my heart is asking and aching all the time
when are you gonna know?
as near as time gets, you're moving awful slow
so let's talk about the way the world should be
it's not fair, when i'm cast as Gatsby
and i should have seen you coming like a speeding car
but you know me perennial Cassandra

if you wanna hurt me it's an unqualified success
i don't wanna hang around like a faded dress

when i was young i thought
that i'd remember everything that i'd been taught
now it's clear i never learned anything
cause i come up empty, when it comes to you dear
so let's talk about just how it's gonna be
forget the love that once made her happy
cause i got a sneaking feeling about you
such as you've got other better things to do

if you wanna hurt me it's an unqualified success
i don't wanna hang around like a faded dress
on the way out
on the way out

if worry is the color of currency
then i'll pay the will for this movie
and i cant help but watch it again and again
cause at the end when i rewind it you're right back with me

like a grade school valentine
my heart is asking and aching all the time
and i got a sneaking feeling about you
such as you've got other better things to do

if you wanna hurt me it's an unqualified success
i don't wanna hang around like a faded dress
i don't wanna hang around like a faded dress
i don't wanna hang around like a faded dress
on the way out
on the way out
on the way out

I wanna go to the show
Can you buy us a ticket
Then let's wrap me up
In a red velvet blanket
First the perfect light
Then somebody else's life reappears
And I'm so happy to be here
The lights go down
I just can't wait to meet her
So I hold on tight to my seat
At the theatre
She's my celluloid hero
Across a silhouette veneer
And I'm so happy to be here
And I think you sink so deep
You come and wake me from my sleep
And it's good
So good so far
So I dream of you beneath
Red velvet stars
And I think you sink so deep
You come and wake me from my sleep
You must be my lucky star
'Cause baby I'm the luckiest by far
I wanna go to the show
Can you buy us a ticket
Then let's wrap me up
In a red velvet blanket
I'm alive and breathing
And this will be my greatest year
I'm so happy to be here

the mighty badlands, south dakota
i'm tired of sitting down
said goodbye to seattle
its 7 am now

will i be safe i'm going home
should i be scared that i dont know

there was a question in my heart
but i've forgotten what it was
it must have went the way of all the passing miles
and yesterday's coke buzz

theres no excuse at 29
to be so absurdly like a child

so i cant stay up all night with you
the kick dont kick like it used to
i've made mistakes heaven knows
but i'm scared of being alone
so make this bad ride fly
galapagos

i watch it slip back to eastern standard
with sioux falls rollin by
and it makes me tired how i make you tired
it seems most all the time

youve seen the ocean and truth
and i wont be of any use to you

and you'll want back your old guitar
and you'll want back your brand new start
i wont deny, nor oppose
that i'm scared to be alone

so i cant stay up all night with you
the kick dont kick like it used to
i've made mistakes heaven knows
but i'm scared of being alone
so make this bad ride fly
galapagos

i don't wanna hear you on my radio
in fact i don't wanna hear your voice ever again
not receiving you through my stereo
and i don't wanna see your stupid face in no magazine

it aint easy man and i'm not proud
but its not beneath me to appreciate
the mean streak that's inside me waiting

so hard to miss you the way that i do
i just wanna kiss you
do you miss me
do you miss me too?

Don't wanna see you, Don't wanna be seen
So when you come around with your sparkly new girl
I duck and weave just like I'm Sugar Shane*
then I trip and fall and disappear right off of this great big world.

then i trip and fall then disappear right up off this great big world
and i try to keep it to myself
not beneath me to appreciate
the mean streak that's inside me waiting

when its
so hard to miss you the way that i do
i just wanna kiss you
do you miss me
do you miss me too


it ain't easy man and i'm not proud but its not beneath me to appreciate
the mean streak that's inside me waiting
