Sandman 03:23
Mr.Sandman bring me a dream Make her complexion like peaches and cream Give her two lips like roses and clover And tell me that my lonesome nights are over Mr.Sandman bring me a dream I've been keeping it clean I've been walking the straight line Trying not to scream I dream of light at night Running through the sands of time to you Mr.Sandman bring a dream Past the troubled and jumbled sleep Into a place of colour and lovers And tell me that my lonesome nights are over All I want is to get away From these undeserving streets All I want is a little break From this repetitive streak I dream of light and life Running through the sands of time to you Mr.Sandman hear me speak I've been balancing a treacherous peak Waiting for dusk to gather To bring me some release All around me darkness gathers Fading is the sun that shone We must speak of other matters You can have me when I'm gone Mr.Sandman Bring me a dream [Repeats}

Whatever happened to those days Where people would fight for something they craved Whatever happened to those times Where words meant something apart from just a rhyme Whatever happened… to the unceasing wave of our minds The fallen stay in confines Of their increasing hopeless ignorant minds You will never own me You will never keep me from fighting you can't It's only the beginning Whatever happened to that song That kept us from doing no wrong Whatever happened to those cries We scream to keep us from all those treacherous lies Whatever happened… to the unceasing wave of our minds The fallen stay in confines Of their increasing hopeless ignorant minds You will never own me You will never keep me from fighting you can't It's only the beginning We ain't got the time For all these problems like global warming Because it doesn't concern me or how I look this morning Put my high heels in, my hair, my shoes , my clothes, my makeup Go to burn with friends party till the sun comes up Wait by the bar for you to come and find me Take me out wine and dine me We ain't got the time Me myself and I [Repeats] You will never own me You will never keep me from fighting you can't [Repeats]

What have we become? What have we become? We're losing soul losing self control What have we become? We ignore the signs The rift widens we haven't got the time Consequences of sound momentarily found What have we become? What have we become? This hunger burns in life's twisted turn What have we become? There's no pause to the cries Ignorance is what we live by Reach the end of the line we surrender blind Lose yourself to that beautiful sound Dream your way into hallowed ground Live your life in this constant refrain Nor sad nor proud these questions seem in vain What have we become? What have we become? Whatever mourns when many leave these shores What have we become? We ignore the signs The rift widens we haven't got the time Consequences of sound momentarily found. Happy are these who lose imagination: They have enough to carry with ammunition. Their spirit drags no pack. Their old wounds, save with cold, can not more ache. Having seen all things red, Their eyes are rid Of the hurt of the colour of blood for ever. And terror’s first constriction over, Their hearts remain small-drawn. Their senses in some scorching cautery of battle Now long since ironed, Can laugh among the dying, unconcerned. But cursed are dullards whom no cannon stuns, That they should be as stones. Wretched are they, and mean With paucity that never was simplicity. By choice they made themselves immune To pity and whatever moans in man Before the last sea and the hapless stars; Whatever mourns when many leave these shores; Whatever shares The eternal reciprocity of tears What have we become? What have we become?

Moonlight 04:24
Moonlight suffers in the dark tonight Take it slow lover dim the lights She's waiting for your answers Run along run fast tonight Pay attention lest you lose the fight You follow her follow her over This fleeting life You feel it's flight It dims the lights Watches you stall, you crawl, you fall Moonlight suffers in the dark tonight You trip, you stumble, through the spite It covers covers you in lies. She'll be waiting at the door tonight Dressed to please, her hair set right These hours, bleed into days This fleeting life You feel it's flight It dims the lights Watches you stall, you crawl, you fall Whisper Dark magic in her ears now Bring her to life with sounds now Take her to these magic worlds now For she's been waiting far too long to call you call you whisper sweet words the truth Broken, bruised despised she tries to stumble through a life Her eyes they've dried these tears they fallen No longer leaving scars across her fragile walls Of deceit and lies finding sweet mercy in the nights Running running running running low She's running running running from hope Fall apart into fragments Moonlight drowns in the dark tonight Her memories will win the fight She hoping for some answers The doors close in as she clings to light These moments turn into waking life Life now, turns black and white. This fleeting life You feel it's flight It dims the lights Watches you stall, you crawl, you fall You stall, you crawl, you fall [Repeats]

Lost in the forest I lay dying Listening to the sounds of the rain crying I heard her through the deafening noise, the muffled whispers her torn voice Her drifting fragrance touched my mind Her laughter rang through the trees, her touch kind The doors opened cracking with rust The walls crumbled to dust By azure water and the flow Of the river these streams they grow Into night a dark hue the world in truth This expanse of blue fades into light Empty space seems full to my timid eye Lying flat on tar the smell of grass A window opens to my stone heart A place so true it blinds the sun Her touch burns you turn to run The light this colour seeping through my sepia veins Her warm hands lay claim By azure water and the flow Of the river these streams they grow Into night a dark hue the world in truth

Explosion 06:37
A hush has settled over the town The silence overrides the sound I'm hanging on the edge of what might seem to be an explosion The sun is setting into the night A storm is brewing in sight There's a change in the wind it seems to me to be an explosion You can't fight it all of the time Wondering how you'll find Peace of mind There are people looking from their homes Restlessly humming their songs They're waiting they're waiting they're waiting For a crack in the armour an explosion You can't fight it all of the time Wondering how you'll find Peace of mind [Repeats]

Sway 06:27
Oh sway Let your heart beat in time with mine today Runaway To the farthest of places we find I crave Moving to time Let our bodies entangle entwine Call me baby one day you'll be mine Hold me closer our hips slowly rise To say It's this passion we cannot ignore, we'll pray That someday We'll be asking for all and more Of this game we play Moving to time Let our bodies entangle entwine Call me baby one day you'll be mine Hold me closer our hips slowly rise To sway This music will keep us in place We’ll stay The stars are not wanted put out every one Pack up the full moon and dismantle the sun The light, this light burns within our veins. Moving to time Let our bodies entangle entwine Call me baby one day you'll be mine Hold me closer our hips slowly rise Hold me like you never let me go [Repeats]

Jazz Cramps 04:09
[Scat] Sweet words at dawns first light We fall into the brights Runaway from borrowed time We stand through the strife [Scat] [Vocal Solo] [Scat] Sweet words at dawns first light We fall into the brights Runaway from borrowed time We stand through the strife

about

Some journeys are meant to be walked alone - this is not one of those. Four musical souls with generous doses of whimsy and madness rooted in experimental funk found each other in music college. Some moons and a generous cat loving Finn later, the album "Tidy Funk" makes its appearance. A little Latin sway, jazzy harmonies, smooth R&B notes tied together with a love of experimental funk... from us to you. Presenting: "Tidy Funk".
