Farm Lyrics

PIECES

Peel me back, seal the crack
No excuse, a piece is loose
Grab the wheel and feel the pieces of our love
Wrapped inside me, but I wouldn’t want it judged
Our love, our love

I can’t stay, you won’t wait
Meet me there, of course it’s fair
Give it time to find the pieces of our love
Wrapped around me, they’re the pieces I can’t touch
Of our love, our love

Can you hold me now
Can you wave a hand and suddenly there’s no more doubt
Can you make it so
Can you bring a smile that makes me forget I don’t know

I can wait
Is it too late
I’m not sure, I’ll take your word

I need some help to grab the pieces of our love
Wrapped inside me, like you couldn’t hurt enough
Our love, our love
Our love, our love

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

Just got extreme or so it seemed
I left it clean, found a place to hide
I loved the place, I took up space
Forgot to pace and found myself outside
I want you to know

I left you there, I hid upstairs
I had to care ’cause you’re the one I see
I looked around, I felt the ground
A soul not found was hard enough for me
I want you to know

Hey, did I let it go
Stay with me, tell me if it shows
I want you to know

I brought you there, I thought you’d care
Not to stare, but you just couldn’t see
It’s always you, it’s always me
It’s always hard for you to set it free
I want you to know

Hey, you’re the one who’d know
Stay with me, I can’t let it go
Hey, you put it in my head
Stay and see, you know what you said
I want you to know

OCEAN IN THE WAY

Said there’s an ocean and I’m in your way
I’d like to go soon we’ll shine through your lake (?)
I need to feel it, you don’t need a thing
Got tons to feel, what else should I bring
Ma ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma

Said there’s a panic that I can’t describe
I need that something I see in your eye
Just wanna lay down when I cannot deal
Pick me back up, give me something to feel
Ma ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma

I’ve been out lookin’ for somewhere to hide
There’s been a mix up somewhere deep inside
I feel the ocean inside of your heart
Just takes a doubt to come smash it apart

Come on down, got some work to do while I’m around
Come on down, got some work to do while I’m around
Come on down, come on down

Said there’s an ocean inside of my mind
It’s all so murky, the truth’s hard to find
When the time gets here, you’ll vouch you in
It’d be a shame to start over again
Ma ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma

PLANS

Well I followed you at times
Things that touched me slipped my mind
If you’ll help me then I’ll try
Then I’ll believe it

I need time, could you explain
I’ve been caught up in my pain
And it’s really not the same
You can see it

I got nothing left to be, do you have some plans for me
I got nothing left to be, do you have some plans for me

I can’t filter what I’ve lost, see my face and see the cost
All the good that just got tossed, and I keep kneeling
And I don’t know what to bring, I get pissed at everything
I need you to see me sing, keep me believing

I got nothing left to be, do you have some plans for me
I got nothing left to be, do you have some plans for me

I know you do, I know you do, I know you do-oo-oo Lord
I know you do, I know you do, I know you do-oo-oo Lord
I know you do-oo-oo Lord

Now I know you came
Now I know you know my name
Don’t let me be the same

Well I followed you for years
I got pain and I got fears
Then there’s moments when it clears
And I’ve been waiting

I got nothing left to be, do you have some plans for me
I got nothing left to be, do you have some plans for me
Do you have some plans for me

I know you do, I know you do, I know you do-oo-oo Lord
I know you do, I know you do, I know you do-oo-oo Lord
I know you do-oo-oo Lord
(For me, for me)
(For me, for me)

YOUR WEATHER

There’s no one living beyond the hands of fate
A number to get hung on that random way

Her light may never shine on your filthy wall
Degree of what you would want will have to fall
Oh don’t we all

Weather will remain the same
If it’s painted on your eyelids, high when you decide
Your weather will remain

Weather will remain the same
If it’s painted on your eyelids, high when you decide
Your weather will remain the same
If it’s painted on your eyelids, high when i decided
Why can’t you?

Your light may ever shine on
Forgive, forget and roll on
Our light may ever shine on
Forgive, forget and roll on

OVER IT

Can I make it here, I’m over it
I’ve been feeling weird, get over it
Can I wind up free, got over it
Is there more to see, gone over it

What else should I do
If I run around for you
Every night I’m spoken to
Keep it comin’, more to do

You stayed lost so long, got over it
I’ll ponder later on, go over it
Can’t escape the task, not over it
Waitin’ for you to ask, I’m over it

And over it, it’s you
Haven’t figured out it’s true
How to reach out when I do
Not so easy to get through

I’ve been on the fence
Now it’s makin’ sense, I see
Sometimes I over think
And I feel my heart sink
I need to believe

I got lost in thought, I’m over it
All I almost lost, not over it
I got things to get, get over it
Hasn’t happened yet, I’m over it

Now it’s time to do
All the things you say are true
I’ll get over, I need to
When I needed, you came through
Can I run right into you
Gettin’ lost is nothin’ new
I need everything, it’s true
A commitment overdo

You’re not gonna go
That I should’ve known, it’s you

FRIENDS

I need a hand, I need a hand
Can you understand, I got no plan
Lookin’ for a new brochure, just starin’ in the sand

In my defense, in my defense
I feel intense, it all makes no sense
I’m the one who runs in circles
Tell me how it went

I wanted you to make it slow
I wanna have a hand to hold
Now it’s stuck in my throat
Wishin’ that I’d blow

I try and try and get nowhere
I can’t avoid and I can’t stare
It’s not my only thought
But I can’t give it up

I’ve been away, I’ve been away
I’d like to stay, but can’t get it straight
I saw you runnin’ sideways so I hope it’s not to late

I wanted you to bring me there
Drop me off, you know I’m scared
Not sure what I can bring, or if it means a thing

I wondered what I couldn’t think
I was feelin’ my heart sink
But couldn’t shake it off
Mind was goin’ soft

If you’re here, if you’re here
And I cruise in fear, then disappear
Even if you don’t see me I promise I’ll be near

I wanted you to lose control
I wanted you to hear my soul
And jumble things I’ve strained (?)
My mind goal wasn’t reigned (?)
I broke it up to have some space
But nothin’s fallin’ into place
But I can’t get upset
’cause I can’t get it yet

SAID THE PEOPLE

I been starin’, I been starin’ into space
Always tired, not a smile, such a waste

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna know
I can’t tell you, I just have to go

Of all the people, of all the people to let me down
Of all the people, of all the people, why now
Save me, save me
Save me, save me

Bring me something, bring me something I can use
Well here’s one thing, but it’s not the one I choose
I can’t help it, hope you show up soon
I can’t help it, I’m countin’ on you

Of all the people, of all the people to let me down
Of all the people, of all the people, why now
Save me, save me
Save me, save me

Can you tell me, can you tell me what went wrong
Guess I shoulda seen it comin’ all along
Gotta fight it, I gotta be strong
Gotta be something, can’t let it drag on and on

Of all the people, of all the people to let me down
Of all the people, of all the people, why now
Save me, save me
Save me, save me

THERE’S NO HERE

There’s no here
It’s not clear
Disappear

’cause of you, ’cause of me too
when you do, I believed you
’cause of you, ’cause of me too
when you do, I believed you

I gave up
It’s not much
It’s not enough

I know we can’t exist, I know we can’t exist
’cause I’m on and on, ’cause I’m on and on
I know you can’t resist, I know you can’t resist
’cause I did it wrong, ’cause I did it wrong

I know I can’t move on
I know I should be gone
I know they say they’re right
… about me now
But I really don’t know how

’cause of you, ’cause of me too
when you do, I believed you
’cause of you, ’cause of me too
when you do, I believed you

In a state
Came too late
Shouldn’t wait

I know we can’t exist, I know we can’t exist
’cause I’m on and on, ’cause I’m on and on
I know you can’t resist, I know you can’t resist
’cause I did it wrong, ’cause I did it wrong

And now that time has gone

SEE YOU

Here I am, bring it right away
I’m don’t doubt it’s what you meant to say
Far enough, let’s take a few things back
All my love, but I’m about to crack

Didn’t see you for a while
Didn’t notice it for quite sometime

See me off, gather all your stuff
Not enough, but that’s all you got

Tell me why we’re not getting it
It’s alright, but I still wanna quit

Can you tell me where to be
Do you know what this all means to me
The intentions hard to know
And I don’t want what you just let go

I’ve gone overboard, can you reel me in
It’s a lot to know, and I can’t begin

Had enough for what I knew
Had enough to know that it’s not true

Hear me out, I’m about to fade
I’ve no doubt you meant that way

There’s a place we don’t wanna go
Does it taste like you oughta know

Didn’t see you for a while
I’ve been so wrapped up for quite some time
Can you tell me who’ll I’ll be
Do you know what this all means to me

Can you get me out
Can you pull me through
And if there’s a doubt
It’s what I gotta do

I DON’T WANNA GO THERE

I don’t wanna go there
I don’t wanna go there anymore
I don’t wanna go there
I don’t wanna go there anymore

’cause I’m gone, ’cause I’m gone

You’re the one who told me
You’re the one who told me what to say
Would you come and hold me
Would you come and show me right away

’cause I’m gone, ’cause I’m gone

And the world it spins around you, I believe it
And the world it really needs you, now I see it
And the world it spins around you, I believe it
And the world it really needs you, now I see it

I don’t wanna waste it
I don’t wanna waste it anymore
Can you help me face
Help me ‘fore I run right for the door

And I’m gone, I’m gone

Should I walk alone
Should I take it home, should I tell
It’s not gonna know
It’s not gonna go well

’cause I’m gone, ’cause I’m gone
’cause I’m gone, ’cause I’m gone

And the world it spins around you, I believe it
And the world it really needs you, now I see it
And the world it spins around you, I believe it
And the world it really needs you, now I see it

IMAGINATION BLIND

I can feel it like a breath on skin
Every season, get a ritual in
Without a reason to fight I fall
Half of love, more than nothing at all

I don’t need it but I’m here at the door
Let me in, I’ve been a villain before
I’ve curled my fingers throwing fist to the wind
It’s sad to think I’d do it over again

We want to leave behind what can’t be helped
We love to hold the key and keep it to ourselves
The ones we leave behind, the ones we need
Imagination blind, but changing

Without resistance I’d have no friends
Without your love I don’t know where to begin
But I can wait, you take forever to thaw
Your icy grip won’t be a death after all

We want to leave behind what can’t be helped
We love to hold the key and keep it to ourselves
The ones we leave behind, the ones we need
Imagination blind, but changing

[jeremiah]

Brilliant!

Thanks for posting these

Can’t wait to hear them

[empire3]

BloodyEars your awesome Thanks dude

[alosaur]

These lyrics look pretty accurate. More so than usual are they from the source or your interpretation?

[mind_glow]

Lou posted the lyrics to Your Weather in his forum.

[tonas]

After reading Plans I hope J isn’t thinking about quitting being a musician. That would suck for sure.

[alosaur]

What from that song makes you think he is talking about quitting music

[Rumpy]

Pieces correction

Can you hold me now ===> Can you pull me out

These are just MY interpretation, with the exception of the two Lou songs, which Lou himself posted on his forum (as mind_glow pointed out).

I don’t know if I’ve just been listening to J for so long now that it’s getting easier for me to understand him or if he actually sings with more clarity on the new album, but it did seem easier than usual to figure out these lyrics. There’s still a few lines I’m not sure about, I’ll have to wait to listen to it on my vinyl copy ( ) to really hear them!

And on the subject, I’ve heard a lot of complaints about the new lyrics being "lazy", but they seem like standard J lyrics to me. I think they go well with the songs, anyway. Even the lyrics to I Don’t Wanna Go There work for the song in my opinion.

Ahh its the whole "I got nothing left to be/do you have some plans for me" "I know you do Lord"

Just sounds like he’s thinking about doing something else. Like he’s taken Dinosaur as far as he can take it and is maybe looking for something else. I know how priorities can change once you start a family. Playing in a band and touring isn’t the best job to have when you want to spend time with the wife and kids.

I really do hope I am reading too much into that because it would suck if J decided to not make music anymore. He is my favorite guitarist and songwriter, and has been since the early 90’s.

[alosaur]

I took it as being more spiritual. Not plans like some other activity to pursue but more of a purpose.
