about

An ode to everyone that digs in and hangs onto love. Dedicated to Gonzales y Gonzales with special thanks to Marcel Proust for Inadequacy 101. Japan, November 2006.

lyrics

The sun ain't yellow it's chicken he says
Petty little quarrels they run roun' my head
Keep comin' back to the way we met
You know we're too far gone

The sign on my door it says back in 5
You walk right in this little soul dive of mine
What makes you think you're the one for me?
I say yeah, yeah, yeah

Coz baby we're on - a one way street
Still tryin' to find our way
Too far gone, for thinkin' 'bout another
We fuss n fight anyway
We're carryin' on, until we're beat
You can't win if you don't play
'Coz babe we're too far gone for love to lose it's way

There's 20 million dollars ridin' on a white horse
The bankers and the taxman they're headin' for the course
They say 'Come on get in - what's the matter with you?'
I don’t care, no no

He says we're not really here we're just passin' through space
I say well pick up your clothes 'coz it's not just your place
You hold my hand and it feels so fine
I say yeah, yeah, yeah

Coz Baby we're on..

This wouldn't be a real love story
Without the part about inadequacy
One and one can make 13
Babe when you're too far gone
You know there's love and there's habit
And there's in-between
But we still duck down the alley
Where we can't be seen
Babe 'coz we're too far gone - too far gone for love
You know we're too far gone for love to lose it's way
