"Small Talk Never Cut It"

*my momma said, no no no!
i ain't raising you to talk to me that way!
no no no!
no no no!
you can't talk to me that way!*

the closer i'd get
the stronger you became
i'm leavin' this town
takin' a new name

**

i know that look
you're disappointed again
i know that look
you're ashamed of what i am

you did your best, mama!
you did your best!

"Brand New Toy"

your noose
caught the wrong side of you
and your shoes
up and ran right from you

*so what can you do?
what can you do?
what can you do?* (x2)

hollow legs
aren't meant to be bent
and broken hearts
cannot be torn apart

*so what can you do?
what can you do?
what can you do?* (x2)

force it all on me
force it all on me, boy

*so what can you do?
what can you do?
what can you do?*

force it all on me
force it all on me, boy

i'm your new favorite toy

"i've been listening to things i haven't listened to in a while.. and things i've been currently obsessed with..
the kills, band of skulls, the white stripes, the raconteurs, the talking heads, halo friendlies, the dead weather, etc...
it happens."

i'm debating whether i want to make tons of posts with my older stuff, or if i want this to be a place for my select few that i'm actually proud of.. we'll see..
it'll be quite a bundle, either way..
