I saw you across the way
You laughed
Tilted your head back
The sun it blazed
Sending puffs of steam
Up from the pavement
I just looked from where I stood
Afraid
You pushed back your hair
Out of your eyes
The shoes upon your feet
They were the wrong size
The lettuce between your teeth
It was so green
But still you are to me
The best prize
Ooo
Ooo
When at first we met
I thought you were
The one who liked to tease
And flirt
Sometimes
The best things in this life
You just can't see
Until they're staring at you in
The eye
Ooo
Ooo

You'd Be My Man
03:33

I feel like a crumpled old leaf
Like I'm walking a dark street alone
And I can't seem to find the moon
And I can't seem to find my way home
I feel like a napkin stained red
From a bottle of wine spilled in haste
I've got all the colors
But I'm missing the taste
Oh I'm missing the taste
And I see all the people
The hands holding hands
And I'm stuck here just wishing
That you'd be my man
I'm watching the time
Slip away through the sand
And I'm stuck here just wishing
That you'd be my man
I feel like a worn photograph
Like a film strip in the window hung to dry
And I'm there in the pictures that you took
There was love in my eyes
There was love in my eyes
And I see all the people
The hands holding hands
And I'm stuck here just wishing
That you'd be my man
I'm watching the time
Slip away through the sand
And I'm stuck here just wishing
That you'd be my man

I've been sleeping
Over for weeks
We've been trading
All our outfits
So I'm wondering
Would you be please
Like to be mine (like to be mine)
For forever (for a long time)
I will love you (each day stronger)
Longer than always for the longest time
Eggs and bagels
Ice in coffee
Sweet romances
Quiet talking
You know my order
I know that
I'd like to be yours (like to be yours)
For forever (be assured)
You will love me (each day stronger)
Longer than always for the longest time
Hold my hand and I'll hold yours
Show me your heart what's inside your soul
Tell me your worries and tell me your dreams
And I'll do what I can to stitch up your seams
Trust me darling
I know that
We will be fine (you will be mine)
For forever (for a long time)
Our love makes us (makes us stronger)
Longer than always for the longest time

Who's driving down this road at four a.m.
Why is anybody else awake this time of day
Are they worried just like me
About reality
Is their heartbeat in their stomach
Just like mine
Who's driving down this road at four a.m.
Do they know they need to get their engine checked
Do they hear birds chirp amen
As the morning light breathes in again
Casting sunshine on these faded
Postered walls
All I wanna do is fall asleep
But here I am wondering if you're awake thinking of me
My phone's dead
I'm tucked into a friend's spare bed
As the June air blows in and out
Out of my head
All I wanna do is fall asleep
But here I am wondering if you're awake thinking of me
My phone's dead
I'm tucked into a friend's spare bed
As the June air blows in and out
In and out
Out of my head
Who's driving down this road at four a.m.
Maybe I could maybe I could maybe I could hitch a ride with them
Will your arms be flung open wide
For me to curl up inside
Will the air be still my heart beat fast the air be still my heart beat fast
Again

Early Morning Blues
03:56

Light strikes the corner with a peculiar sort of shape
The world outside is warming
Birds through the window with their warbling mess of cries
Here in early morning
You're lost in dreams
I've got to go
Rain rolling slowly as my breath fogs up the glass
Wishing to stay longer
I watch you for a moment with your hair a crazy mess
Here in perfect slumber
You're lost in dreams
I've got to go
When I'm tired and my knees are aching bad
You'll be there to kiss 'em
I'll tell you 'bout my day and you'll let me ramble on and on
You act like it's your mission
You're lost in dreams
I've got to go
You're lost in dreams
I've got to go

Sweet Petunia Boston, Massachusetts
Listening to queer freak folk duo Sweet Petunia for the first time, many are blown away by the interchanging vocal lines of Madison Simpson & Mairead Guy. Unbelievably, the two are not related, though their voices are almost indistinguishable from each other. These brother harmonies lead Sweet Petunia through many shifting genres, melding traditional folk sensibilities with a distinct punk flare. ... more
