DREW YOUNG  -  "Part-time New Orleanian captures the city's laid back groove ... combining delicate strings, layers of acoustic guitar, drum loops, and a whispery vocal style to craft musical confessions ... reminiscent of modern rock bands at their most hypnotic."  Rich Collins (InsideNewOrleans.com)

"He was the central element of the group Ruben Kincaid and made his first solo album in 1998.  Finally there is a sequel. Apparently Drew Young has specialised even further in making sophisticated pop with acoustic intermezzi. The melodic richness is detailed in a subtle way by of some extra colouring with violins and accordeon. Related names that pop up by listening to this record are Divine Comedy, Al Stewart, Lloyd Cole, Fat's Garden and even David Bowie and Steely Dan. [April 2001 RIFRAF]

LYRICS

 

All Good

It’s a foggy Friday night and he’s kissing on your neck
You really should not be here instead he’s glued on you
There’s a bend in the river we’ll meet there at 8

All Right now
It’s all good
All Right now
Just you wait and see
Just you wait and see yeah, yeah, yeah

It’s a sultry Sunday night and I feel locked in place
With you by my side, I’ve shed all my doubts
Of life and love it’s black and white

Chorus

It’s a foggy Friday night and I’m kissing on your neck
It’s really good to be here, and I have to see you again
There’s a bend in the river we’ll meet there at 8

Chorus

No Good At Being Cool

I’m no good at being cool you see
I’m no good at keeping my 
Hands, Off of your dress

I’m no good at holding your hand
It’s Valentines Day and I forgot
Forgot your name

[Chorus] We were wasting time together
We were wasting time alone
Lets waste some time, Forever

Yeah,

Blame it on me now please you see
Blame it on my lack there of Therapy

Blame it on the truth that I see
Blame it on the fact that you have never been sad 
Never been sad

Chorus

In the sun
That’s where you will
Shine

You’re the kind of girl who likes a good
Time and I’m the kid of guy who 
Likes to fool around

You’re the kind of girl that I dream about
When I’m awake and when I’m 
Half asleep

Ordinary Day

I’m lost inside my head and 
I see you looking at your watch
Is this a missed opportunity 
That hangs over us

I’m lost inside your face and I’m
Glad you finally woke up 
To see the smoke screen 
That Hangs over us

[chorus] And it’s a….
It’s an ordinary day
But there’s no ordinary way for me to say this

I’m lost inside your dream and I
Feel that I am very near
To waking up and seeing
Us over there 

I’m Lost inside your face and it
Took me so long to see that
I’m just a little like you 
Hiding from view

[chorus] 

I want you 
I need you
And I love you too

I’m Lost inside of you and I don’t wanna
Don’t wanna come out
I’ve heard It’s safe in here
Safe in here

I found my way again and I’m 
Never gonna get lost
I heard a voice that said
Remember THIS

Let Me Be

Come and take my hand for a while
And you will see that I’m in denial
I love it when we’re all alone 

Safe at home is our great goal
My farmer’s wages buy us coal
A little Red Wagon 
Draws my feet

[chorus] Let me see it love
Let me be your love
Let me see you love
Let me be
Let me be free

Walk a while in my big shoe
Take a drink and be my fool
Circumstance is stronger than potential
Inspiration flows through you
Don’t go away that would be cruel
Vacant hearts never meant much to me 

Chorus 

Not every one was made to suffer
Chose your life and wear it well
Spread your wings and make an offer
Close yours eye then dance
With me 

My whole world is in a box
Wrapped in leather a gift for you
A time for love and a time for change
I’m glad you went very far 
To make a circle welcome home
Nothings changed here at all

Chorus

Not every one was made to suffer
Chose your life and wear it well
Spread your wings and make an offer
Close yours eye then dance
With me

Not everyone can have this moment 
Toss your clothes off in the sea
Wait too long and summers over 
Close your eyes and then Dance
With me

Singing Your Name Out of Tune

Felicia Flaked on a Friday night
Two packs of Camels and some Bud Light
It drove her to tears and it made me sad
To hear her story about her drunk Dad

Who was 
Singing her name out of tune
He was singing her name out of tune

Now Cher shared herself with too many men
She swore out loud I’ll never do it again
She’s closing her eyes as he crawls on top
Just one more time and then she’ll stop

Singing her name out of tune

Now Tina’s a tired little tiny brat
She plays with the boys but she wants a cat
She’s going to college out in East LA
Gonna study acting and one of these days she will say
I’m singing your name out of tune
She’s singing my name out of tune
She’s singing her name out of tune
She’s singing your name out of tune

What I Need

There’s a smile painted on a rag doll
Outside in the rain
Colored chalk covers the walk
Don’t worry
I’ve got a plan
I’m standing out in front so 
Take your time I just might wait for you

What I need is some sunshine
Moonlight I’m on my knees I beg you please

I’m made out of plastic
This day is so so real
I used to be so fantastic
We were young and didn’t have 
Time for gravity
It held s down

Chorus

Take your time your life is long
Take your time and do me right
Take my love you wear it well
Take it there you wear it well 
Tonight

A Purple palace waits for you
I wanna go if you go when you go where you go
Take a ride my wild child and you will see that I’m
Your devil boy

Chorus

Beautiful Loser

Now it’s time to tell my tale
Sit right down and listen well
We can drink a little wine
Roll it up and smoke some more time

[chorus] And if I had a wishing well 
I’d put you in it and cast a spell
And if I had a place to be
I’d be there
And not here
I can’t sleep 
And I’m a wreck right now
A Beautiful Loser

A deck of cards it built my house
And there’s a wind upon my back
Michigan’s no place for me 
I hear it’s warm down in Tennessee
Come on lets do it fast 
How long do you think we can last

Chorus 

Now it’s time to shake and run
The morning’s here let’s have some fun
I see a highway this place is done
Come on with me and let’s
Chase the sun

Hats Off To You 

It’s a little too late now and
I’m a little too proud
It’s a little too late and 
The band is playing way 
Too loud

4 o’clock on a Friday morning
4 o’clock and the sun came up on me 
With no warning

[chorus] Hats off to you my dear 
I see you finally got what you deserve
Hats off to you my love I see you're flying way above me now

Talked about the weather and I stole some cash
Talked about the weather and you said my life’s going to crash
Did you come save me cause I ain’t got no class
Did you come you to save me from myself well you 
Can kiss my ass

[chorus]
Got a job down at the 7-11
Got a job, a gun and a house 
I think that I’m in heaven
Heard you saying that your “Going to Mexico”
Heard you saying that “our life sucks and it’s time to go”

[chorus]
We can share a smoke and work this all out
We can share a smoke and there will be no doubt that you are FREE

[chorus]
Hats off to you my sweet I took your clothes and threw them in the street
Now I’m Free

Morning Girl

Now I want to fix everything
But my list is long and it’s kind of late
I guess we really have that in common
Is there a chance that I just meet my fate
Or Am I stuck here in the middle 
Making the same mistakes
Hanging around upside down
Hanging around downtown
We’re in a upside-down town 

[chorus] Good Morning Girl 
Please take the moon in your hair and 
Wrap it, Wrap it up for me

Now I’ve made a pact with God but
I think I said something wrong
She told me to be happy with what I have
I think I deserve a little bit better
So when you see me on the street
Just step on me and go go go 
Your own way
Cause I’m upside down

[chorus]

Front Porch

She wants to be my Little Hidden Princess
But she’s just in the middle of Life’s circus
Round and Round and Round it goes
When it stops I’ll
Be there

[chorus] On the front porch 
Waiting by the light
Off the surface of the moon
On the front porch and I stole my first kiss
From you you you you you

I’m learning how to rhyme this time
Cause it makes it easy to remember
When your name’s entwined with mine 
It might have been December
Please come home for Christmas time 
We will sit outside and count 
The trees 

[chorus] 

At the end of the ride Do I get to grab
Your golden ring
Put It on my finger cause
I’m forever drawn to you
Let’s drink some magic tea tonight
And see the future 
Of you and I in a sunset of glass
That a gasp and a breath 
It could break

[chorus]

Walking Around

I’ve been walking around 
With my head in the clouds
I’ve been walking around since I saw you
Walking around cause I can’t resist
Your tenderness and sweet caress

If I had a chance I’d do it again
I’d take you in my arms tonight
Sing you a song and then watch you sleep
Cause I’ve been walking around since I saw you

There’s some one for me and some one for you
I only hope that some one hears me sing
I’ve been walking around since I saw you

Come To Me

I’ve been trying so hard to keep you at bay
But your knocking on my door and
It’s such a lovely day
Turn the clock back
And then I hear you say

Come to me

I’ve been digging in the past and
I know where you are
I know I can change it
It’s a dream that I have 
Turn the clock back so 
I can hear you say

Come to me

These are desperate times and 
You’re a desperate man
I know you can do it
I know your arms are tired

Come to me

If Faith had a face I’d switch it with mine
I’d wear it and smile and I would dance all the time
I’m a sordid lot and I’m a little lost 

Come to me

RUN TO YOU

Jackie’s leaving for Baltimore tonight on a bus
She met him at a coffee shop and he promised a better life
Pull me close and smell hair but please don’t you cry
Pull me close and touch my cheek, I swear it’s all done

And all they want is the American way
And all I want to do is run to you
It wasn’t all really a lie I just needed a change

5.25 an hour's a gig but I wanted a little more
I know it’s not my birth right but I wanted a little more
The problem is that it’s a long way down when your dragging the past around

And all I want is the American Way
And all I want to do is run to you

Rue Burgundy is the place for loving lets build a little nest
Fame and fortune lie away from but I found what I need 

The smell of the sea and the salt on your neck really 
Carry me to my knees

It’s a shame that you’re away tonight cause I know that we would fly
Away from here to that sanctuary that we built 
Out of sheets and Pain 

There’s no need to go cause I’m running for you
There’s no need to dive cause I’m running for you

CANDY

Candy paints the stars for her
On the Ceiling above her bed
Candy Cradles the Captain 
On The Cul De Sac of Courtney Street

Were you with Her?
Did She Believe in You?

Did She Follow You Down

Candy Coats the Truth for her
So That She can Swallow it’

That Lives on Constant

One, Two , Three Houses Down 
Four, Five, Six Stairs To Her Room
And That’s Where You will Find Me

Underneath Her Best Friend
Candy Craves her Coquettishness

REMEMBRANCE

I Floated In And Out 
Of Your Circles
I Wish That I could Take A Heart
And Glue it To Mine

[CHORUS] Remembrance Is The closest 
That I Can Get To You
Remembrance Is The Closest 
That I Can get To You 

You And Me We Have 
Our Bridge To Cross
Meet Me In The Middle and I’l Give You My Hand 
Tug At Me again And I’ll Shatter Your Grip

CHORUS

Maybe One Day 
You Will See The Sun Arise
And Brings Your Alms To Me
And No Longer Wear
Your Crown Of Thorns

Remembrance, Is the Closest That I can Be

Hide Out With Me

Holly’s Got herself a Brand New Tatoo
To Show That She’s In love again
It’s Green and it’s read and It reminds me of Christmas
What’s a poor boy to do

CHORUS

Hide, Hide, Hide Hide Out With Me
We’ll pull the sheets tight 
And Howl at the Moon
Hide,Hide Out With Me

Now Paul’s Had Too Much To Drink Tonight
He Fell Off his Barstool
I Love You screams to the Bar Tender
But what’s a poor boy to do?

Except
Hide, Hide, Hide Hide Out With Me
We’ll pull the sheets tight 
And Howl at the Moon
Hide,Hide Out With Me

I’m drinking this toast just for you and me
Lefty’s on my right and I can barely see
Decatur street’s full of booze and trash 
It’s a sunny day and I’m home
At last

Your red Hair’s blown through my brain 
If I wasn’t so numb I might remember you
I think we were happy some time
But what’s a poor boy to do

Hide, Hide, Hide Hide Out With Me
We’ll pull the sheets tight 
And Howl at the Moon
Hide,Hide Out With Me 
Laugh in their face 
As they struggle to win
The Keys to this palace That I built 
For You

Three Martini Genie

Three Martini Genie won’t you pour me another one
Three Martini Genie did I rub your bottle wrong

Broken down on Poydras Street
I thought that I could get through to you
If I walked your way

Three Martini Genie did you stay inside too long
Did you sit on the steps of Bourbon Street
And pour your heat to me
Three Martini Genie won’t you listen to what I say

Broken down by Rye and Wine
I thought that I could et through to you 
If I walked your way

I’m not really a drunk
I‘m safe and sound
You don’t have to move, I’m just mad at the world 
And it’s all coming down to a head 

Three Martini Genie
Would you like gin today?

Three Martini Genie won’t you sit down here 
Right next to me 
and kiss my pain

Hungry For You

Swollen promises on your prom night
Left you with one moment 
That would last your whole life
So Hungry for you

Full of rage and spitting
Now he’s made you 
Made you his wife

So Hungry For You
So Hungry For You

Now your door’s left open and I can see you
Me In My P’s I look deep
Into your eyes

Look to me with those deep brown eyes swollen from is hands
Ashes and dishes are piled up high lets knock him to the ground

It would take a heat wave for you crawl in bed with me
Bring me back to life some day
Break your gaze from your TV

Dance the dance of lightness
It leads you to the sea
Don’t forget to pack your bags
And please leave room for me

So hungry for you
I want you to know that it’s the thought of you undressing him
That leads me here 
Tonight

Sometimes

Faith lives up stairs from me 
She Fights with her boyfriend
Constantly keeps me awake at night
By throwing her dishes at me

Your not the first and 
Your not the last 
We all gotta fall down 
Sometimes

Chastity she’s just 18
Followed her man far from home
She Cries herself to my bed
When she hears this song

Your not the first and 
Your not the last 
We all gotta stand alone
Sometimes

Charity always has her hands out
Expects me to give some more
Iwis she knew that it’s all I got
I guess that the way love goes

I’m not the first and 
She’s not the last 
We all gotta laugh 
At Ourselves Sometimes

Now Hope Stands in The Doorway
She Calls me to Her side
Casually slips off her robe
With a smile in her eyes

She’s not the first and 
I’m not the last 
We all gotta believe 
Sometimes

HOLD ME DOWN

Pinky’s ring in her nose starts to quiver when she comes
Betrays all the trust in him 
That she made up
She starts to shed her night gown

Wisteria climbs 
Through my back door
Sweet as a sweet olive branch she rides in my car

15 years old she ran away from home. 

Hold me down like I Sunday and I need a bath
Hold me down like it’s Friday and you just got paid
Hold me down like you never did before

18 years old and
They wanna play house
Dying just to get old
And Never get off the 
Couch

Hold me down like I Sunday and I need a bath
Hold me down like it’s Friday and you just got paid
Hold me down like you never did before

COVER ME

I want to sing you a love song
Before you draw down the shades
I want to send you on your way
Before I look in your eyes

I want to lie right next to you
And breathe the air that you breathe
I want to touch your soul
As you begin to see

Cover me, cover me with those lips
Complete the circle
Complete the circle, complete the circle that lies
Draw the night
From its starry, starry nest
And hang the moon over our bed

I want to see that child that lives, that lives and dies in your space
I want to see your scrapbook full of picture of me
I swear I’ll tell no one

Cover me, cover me with those lips
Complete the circle
Complete the circle, complete the circle that lies
Draw the night
From its starry, starry nest
And hang the moon over our bed

Don’t do this; Don’t do this to your self
Don’t do this; stay away from me
I will Return. 
I’ll sing your name with my mouth until they take me away.

Cover me, cover me with those lips
Complete the circle
Complete the circle, complete the circle that lies
Draw the night
From its starry, starry nest
And hang the moon over our bed

I BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING

She tells me I believe in everything
I believe in everything that you are

She tells you I believe in everything 
I believe in everything that you are

Sleep with me my darling
Sleep with me tonight
Even though our beds don’t tough

She tells me I believe in your eyes
I can see what you fear
She tells me this can’t be all
This can’t be all that there is

Hold my hand
Hold my hand while I breathe
Shine the light so I don’t - I don’t get hurt 

She tells me you taste better than
You taste better than blue M&M’s
Better than all the rest
Better than all the rest
Except, maybe the red ones
Look, in your mirror, Do you see what you fear?
Look in the eyes of the ones around you
Do you see yourself?

She tells me Hold me when I awake
Hold me when I awake up from this dream

Shudder

Lets go and trade our skins in 
Lets go and trade our skins in 
For some new ones
For Mine is growing weak

The thought of you makes me shudder

You could have been happy
And I should have been strong
You should have been happy and 
I should have come around
I should have been everything and I wasn’t 

The thought of you makes me shudder

Refrain yourself from the past
Restrain yourself to his bed
Blindfolded is how you remain

I have been awake all night
Laying low in my bed my shades half drawn
And Holding court waiting just for you

LOVE AND POLITICS

I have read this script before, 
I know it like I know all of you
I have been warned to never go back
So Maybe I can walk 
Slowly 
And no one will see me 
Slide by

Let me sing to you
Of Love and Politics
Cause I know you’re scared to see

Now take a look at me
See I’m paralyzed with guilt
I can’t seem to draw my eyes from yours
I thought that my 
Pathetic excuses would draw you in 
And dare you to forget who I was

Let me sing to you
Of Love and Politics
Cause I know you’re scared to see

Lets practice saying goodbye
Please begin with me
I thought that there might be a chance
That you might steal a star
And hand it over to me

Let me sing to you
Of Love and Politics
Cause I know you’re scared to see

Goodnight

Now it’s time to say goodnight
I sure have enjoyed your stay 
And Now it’s time for me to go
I won’t be holding you again

It’s been such a long long time
And I can’t remember when
It’s been such a long long time and
That’s why I called you my friend

I dug out those pictures of us
And threw them on your pyre
I shrouded your face with lace and covered mine with yours

It’s been such a long long time
And I can’t remember when
It’s been such a long long time and
Since I called you my friend
