So I said, "Don't make a sound, We'll be found if my father is walking. Keep your head close to the ground, like a dead man I'm weary of talking." But the scene of the dream of the crime didn't mean that the scheme wasn't mine. "Friend, you know I wasn't there I was scared of his mode of discussion and the slow chill in the air that would throw us into submission. Like a wise woman's eye's can't conceive of her demise as she tries not the grieve, I'm dismayed and betrayed by degrees. I must take my leave!" “Please don’t go, I said I could pay bow your head and pray the angels are coming. Hear them crow, their wings have turned gray lost their glow and slate feathers are falling. Like a cold calculated disease, watch the greed as it takes what it sees.” “Save your grin, for if I stop here then I fear something evil will happen. At the end the harmony’s clear but it’s been getting louder and laughing. And you know if you show that you’re weak, then you’ll grow and you’ll sow what you reap. So lay down your arms and accept your defeat. With a kiss on the cheek."

Heaven 03:59
I broke your heart but it must be known. It really wasn’t very easy. I didn’t do it alone. And I admit it didn’t please me that you should know the reasons why. You played your part when you should’ve just lied. And I can’t help but think that it seemed suspicious you always wore a cross but you never were religious. Wasn’t I vicious? Wasn’t I cruel? 20 thousand dollars and they send you back to school. Now isn’t that justice a penny for your pain? All of my wives come slingin’ that cane. Where do we go mane? I don’t even know. Take me back to Heaven where the streets are paved with gold. I needed cash but as you saw. It was exceptionally crucial; It wasn’t for a good cause. And I was never one for scruples Yo, I was never one for pride. I was running from the lash when I shoulda just lied. (Chorus) We lived like kings. You were as tender as a rose. When the deal went down, hell, you were payin’ out the nose. I didn’t want your crown. I doesn’t matter what you’ve heard. I didn’t really even say them things. I only said those words. (Chorus) x2

Well, old Daniel Morgan came in from the rain singin’ good was the flesh that the Word once became. He slept in the corner but ain’t it a shame that the redcoats weren’t supposed to be sleeping. And as soon as they noticed that teardrop tattoo and the rings on his fingers and the scar on his arm. They fired their muskets and raised the alarm while the town was still still and still sleeping. And you are like. You are like. You are like some long forgotten memory. Back against the wall he unleashed his soul while breaking glass and laughter made music of their own. The voice of an angel singing Corpus Christi burns bright enough you know there must be a fee. The heat burns through everything including the waves. And the moon is a virgin you can’t turn away. Memento mori for you are easily a dream. The river invites you no bleeding no screams. And you are like. You are like. You are like some long forgotten memory.

Ozeanne 03:34
Ich hasse mich selbst und will sterben. Bitte toten Sie. Mich und, den ich mich nicht sorgen werde. Ich will in Boden liegen. wo ich bin nicht gefunden zu warden Ozeane winken, unterwidert zu. Heim von den ich nie habe gefuhlt vor. Nimmt mich bald, in Tod oder Leben Bitte toten Sie.

Tired of fighting with his hag of a wife, Adam the butcher went into the forest to take out his anger on the trees with a knife, and deep in the woodland, he saw the sweet face of his love, first love, dead love, last love, he saw his long-lost love. He called to the phantom as his mouth cracked with cold, but the figure had vanished, and on a crude table lay a bottle of gin and a note from the ghost. And, written in blood, were the words he'd been long hoped to hear: "Come here, my dear, I'm near, don't fear. "Dear Adam, have a drink dear, have a tiny little sip, you'll slip as the loving liquid takes you, you'll see, you'll like it in shadows it's dark and cold (I will warm you up) don't wait, for you're growing old (I can't wait for love) please, drink the gin, please, drink the gin, and let poison do you in (I want to have you and leave this life I'm in)" Choking on tears Adam threw down the gin He fell to his knees crying out to his children "To leave you alone would be too great a sin" and the eldest of sons saw his chance through the trees in the night. "The time is right to strike," he whispered in delight: "Cheer up, dad, have a drink, oh take a tasty little sip, go on Let the flavor overwhelm you, it's good, it's sweet, you'll feel better, we'll certainly understand (they won't miss me) with you gone, I'm the lord of the land (she will kiss me) it's simple, you see, take a swig and be free of the this world, leave the rest up to me (I'll be free and my true love will rest next to me)" Then in a flash, Adam saw through it all: his wife and his son and his love only cared for themselves. It'd be weakness to let himself fall, so He grabbed the poison and headed home with a newly formed plan, and the flask in his hand, he stood at the nightstand, and took his wife by her hand "My darling, have a drink, I'm sorry for that awful racket outside, take a sip of this elixir, it's good it'll help, you sleep, oh so soundly Each morning I know you must be (and she drinks it down) well-rested to tyrannize me. (the whole bottle down) Now go torment the one who claimed my life was done and make sure to save a space for your son" So Adam discovered what you need to be happy. He buried his wife, and kicked out his son He went to Welfare Ford-Mercury and bought a beat up old jalopy for nineteen nine-ninety our story is done.

Fashionistas 04:48
Two days late they cut my phone. I lost my home. I was only skin and bones but I held on. With a word they sold it all. I watched it fall. Every brick in every wall but I held on. And now I swear I’m going back but now I’m bound to share my tracks and I think she said her name was Sasha Grey. Every time her fingers curl I wind up halfway around the world and I’m glad but soon the clouds will roll away. Now she’s wise beyond her years so spare your tears when you’re young some things aren’t clear but she hold on. We may lose the arm in arm but there’s no harm every city’s got it’s charm so we hold on (chorus) Now our nation I’ve heard said may fall down dead but I’d like to think instead that we’ll hold on. There’s still so much left to hide I’m by her side no more shall we divide for we’ll hold on (chours)

Wave Goodbye 03:31
When your brothers won't love you at all, and your sisters are strange as your skin, and your father is dying but pretends not to know, and your lips are thirsty and thin, when you stare at the old southern cross, when you speak not the tongue of your kin, you can take off your black face and stand on your own; it's alright if you won't let me in. wave goodbye to your sorrow my friend sleep will come once your body is fed so keep following me to your end I’ve a place, for you laid out ahead keep running and watching your feet keep painting your hands and mouth red if you want me please tell me be more discreet help me pull my tongue unto the bed

Kool-Aid Kid 03:37
Dark and bleak red mouthed and weak Alone half naked and orphaned Mother wept She shook her head and left him outside in the rain where oh where can I go now where oh where can I be who will have me and know me I’m but a poor circus freak Pick your head up Come down to the pub Called lonelier men than he Talking of god They all shook their rods And took their recursive confessions Drinking red wine They turn on a dime And cast off their yesterdays vow there is no one to trust in I guess I am the same God sets us all into motion Man is the one to be blamed I’ve read the sign I’ve seen the light was lost, but now I’m found

Ghetto-Blast 06:10
oh Rebellion We are just the same ain’t that a childish thing searching for a place to stay oh Rebellion We are just the same ain’t that a childish thing searching for a place to stay you aren’t that different if you learned to fly somebody clipped your wings would you ever sleep alone oh Temptation if you learned to fly ain’t that a deadly thing would you ever sleep alone oh Temptation I fell to my knees ain’t that a deadly thing so I could forgive myself you aren’t that different if I learned to cry somebody clipped your wings would I start to feel alone and I never saw you I, I’ve never seen on that morning ooo you sleeping in the morning. and I never saw you No I, I’ve never seen on that morning ooo you sleeping in the morning.

about

Wasted Wine's first album featuring Robert Gowan and Adam Murphys' early duo work. Released in 2007-2008 this album is an early representation of the years to come. Recorded primarily to document the "coffee shop" years, Gowan and Murphy present a stark duo sound meant to capture what it was like to see Wasted Wine live during those magical years. This limited instrumentation and exposed presentation gives "And When You Wake Up," a very unique flare and highlights the acoustic folk roots behind the songwriting still employed by Wasted Wine today.
