Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees
Well I must be my own master
Or a miniature disaster will be
It will be the death of me

I went down to London with the idea that I was going to do vocals over this crazy, crazy trip-hop digital beat. Within two or three months, I heard Hunky Dory by David Bowie and that changed me in one way, and I realized what I actually wanted was to have an E Street Band — individuals, not session musicians.

So I choose my weapon
And choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about you every day
I'm starting to notice you're fading away

See the look on my face
From staying too long in one place
But every time I try to leave
I find I keep on stalling
Feel like a big old stone
Standing by a strength of my own
But every time the morning breaks
I know I'm closer to falling

My songs examine and explore little specific emotions or situations or stories... They're kitchen table songs, like a conversation between me and one other person. It's almost like an alien has been sent to get emotional samples from human beings and put it all together on a record.

So you think it's funny
That you keep calling me all of the time
Everyday
Oh honey
Don't want to be following and falling behind
If you're gonna be walking away

You got me looking up
Even when I'm falling down
You got me crawling out of my skin
You got me wondering why
I am underneath this big old sky
Stopping the loving getting in

Over the sea and far away She's waiting like an iceberg Waiting to change But she's cold inside She wants to be like the water.</p> All the muscles tighten in her face Buries her soul in one embrace They're one and the same Just like water. <p> Then the fire fades away And most of everyday Is full of tired excuses But it's too hard to say I wish it were simple But we give up easily You're close enough to see that You're the other side of the world to me.
