Power Lines
Corner Store Blues
Take me back to the woods, up on a hill
Under the stars we partied down
Playin’ some tunes, just foolin' around
​
(When I get there, I'll meet you by the fire baby)
​
We were passing the smoke, crackin' the frosties
under the lines of 'lectricity
a positive charge running inside of me
​
We’ll be up all night
He’ll be holding her tight
There’s electricity
Running inside of me
Take hold of the reins
We’re moving now
Thinking thoughts we never had in mind
Oh, Power lines
​
Well, Jenny’s a good girl, in love with a bad boy
When she’s up there with him, he gets his way
Where does he find all his energy?
He’s so eloquent here
It’s either the ‘lectric lines or the beer
​
(Chorus)

Explanation: This song was recorded as a country and blues song with the same lyrics but different chords and groove. I liked them both and put them on separate LPs.

My Placebo
You’re bittersweet
And hard to swallow
Expectations
Lonely hope
If not today, we will tomorrow
My Placebo
I love you even keel
They say you’re fake
But I believe in you
Cast aside
This ugly pain
Counting on you
To change my brain
I believe you’re gonna do it with me
My Placebo
I love you even keel
They say you’re fake
But I believe in you
You’re real X2
Don’t you want to
See me well
I don’t know if I can tell
You think you’re strong
But you’re so weak
With such an ego
Yea, My placebo
My Placebo
I love you even keel, I love you
They say you’re fake
But I believe in you
You’re real

Thin White Wall
There’s a thin white wall
between us I can hear
Your missing her, it’s clear
--but people change
They never stay the same
You don’t know what I hope
You don’t know what I hope
Meet me halfway outside
By the back door I’ll try
It’s not easy I could fail,
And, if I see you standing there
Showing me that you don’t care
I’ll go home gently and I’ll fall
Behind a thin white wall.
When you speak my name
Whenever if you do
Imagining it through
--Tell your friends
You’ve found love again
Right behind a barrier
You can’t wait to marry her
Meet me halfway outside
By the back door I’ll try
It’s not easy I could fail,
And, if I see you standing there
Showing me that you don’t care
I’ll go home gently and I’ll fall
Behind a thin white wall.
