Myriad

i took a plane
i took a train
(ah, who cares, you always end up in the city)

i said to carl
look up for once
(see just how the sun sets in the sky)

i said to jon
do you think the girls here
(ever wonder how they got so pretty?)
oh, well i do

look out upon the myriad harbour
look out upon the myriad harbour
look out upon the myriad harbour

all the boys
with their home-made microphones
(have very interesting sounds)

all the girls falling to ruin
dropping out of school, breakin' daddy's heart
(just to hang around)

Harbour

i walked into the local record store
and asked for an american music anthology
it sounds fun
they taught my sketches (?)
stuck 'em on the walls of ps1

i took a plane
i took a train
(ah, who cares, you always end up in the city)

stranded at bleeker and broadway
looking for something to do

someone somewhere asked me is there anything
in particular i can help you with?
(all i ever want to help with was you)

look out upon the myriad harbour
look out upon the myriad harbour
look out upon the myriad harbour

Challengers

yes i know it was late

we were greeting the sun

before long

and you live with someone

i live with somebody too

leave it there

for safe keeping

one of the west village in plains

that was the custom

come dawn

.

on the walls of the day

in the shade of the sun

we wrote down

another vision of us

we were the challengers of

the unknown

"be safe" you say

whatever the mess you are you mind okay

that is the custom

on down

.

until i see you around

until we clear the accounts

leave it there

leave it to us

we are the challengers of

the unknown
