High End 04:32
High End Verse How do you want me to want you, I signed a waiver and I'm happy to oblige, It's only make believe if you ain't got the faith, It's only quite and quaint if you ain't got the lust, Chorus Tall white and gentrified, love, laugh and stand in line, from wet dreams to romance, cognac to Prozac, we're so high end, we're so high end, we're so high, The room lays dim, cuz we're so high end, Rose colored lovers hell bent to be discovered, Verse Chicken Tikka Masala on Thanksgiving, Our own mini revolution we are living, The days they wind on to forgotten hours, In sync with your friends you drink yourself to a holiday spectacle, Chorus Tall white and gentrified, love, laugh and stand in line, from wet dreams to romance, cognac to prozac, We're so high, we're so high end, we're so high, The room lays dim, cuz we're so high end, Rose colored lovers hell bent to be discovered

attaloss 03:43
Attaloss Verse Segways to segways, old ways to one ways, Your voice tunnels to my ear from every drunken bar hall, When we first met I was beyond repair but baby you didn't care, Chorus Take me at a loss right now, Girl, take me on, take me out, Take me at a loss right now, Girl, take me on, take me out, Verse We can drag the night into the morning, You can steal away without warning, I hedged my bets, I'm in over my head, The night complicates the day, the day drives up the ante, Chorus Take me at a loss right now, Girl, take me on, take me out, Take me at a loss right now, Girl, take me on, take me out, I scream my heart out through lungs if it helps to succumb, Illuminates the cause, take me at a loss, Verse My bones feel ripe for the course, No strings attached, No buyers remorse, No cause for alarm, Let's take it too far, Chorus Take me at a loss right now, Girl, take me on, take me out, Take me at a loss right now, Girl, take me on, take me out, I scream my heart out through lungs if it helps to succumb, Illuminates the cause, take me at a loss,

The Barber 03:56
The Barber Verse Type-cast as a pull-string toy, I cut the hair, I'm always on, over and over and over and over and over again, the pleasure is mine, Indivisible of loneliness I sling a string of questions, where you from, what's your occupation, have you finally found that special someone, who makes the bed, who steals them covers, Chorus Who cuts the barber's hair, When the floor's been swept and the lights go out, Verse Half awake, half alone, once a heart that beat, now old and obsolete, a debate over it's existence takes place, every now and then, A collection of little lies to keep the hinges oiled, tucked away safely in the top right corner drawer, right next to the thinning scissors, right above her crinkled old photo, Chorus Who cuts the barber's hair, When the floors been swept and the lights go out, Some still moment, she'll stop pretending and I'll be there, in the barber's chair, I'll be there in the barber's chair, Chorus Who cuts the barber's hair, When the floors been swept and the lights go out, Some still moment she'll stop pretending and I'll be there, in the barber's chair

Frank Alone, Frank Lost Verse Rumors swell all around us, The stares, they grow countless, I was a lonely man when I fell into your hands, I was a helpless boy when I turned into your toy, A little live forever, a little now or never, Chorus There's a light in the distance, You can only see if you stand listless, This ain't text book love, maintenance sex and white doves, Frank alone, Frank lost in a name, Verse Bred to serve through fear, Fall into the hay and disappear, In the interest of time I'll be blunt, I'll be convenient and quantifiable, Seasoned and emotionally viable, Frank Alone, Frank lost in a name, A little live forever, a little now or never, Chorus There's a light in the distance, You can only see if you stand listless, Have up and left the conversation, Bought a ticket and left the station, This ain't text book love, maintenance sex and white doves, Frank Alone, Frank lost in a name

Falling 04:50
Falling Verse My good looks were never wasted on empathy or education, I had my whole life to be cunning, I left town with a Monday looming, Slow motion conversations, strangers are as candid as they come, trading echos over beers as these old days stretch far from near, Chorus I'm not falling, I'm not falling in love, I'm not falling in love without you, Verse The clothes came off, the gloves stayed on, chicory coffee and T Rex til the morning, This can't all be accidental, though you might treat me as me as a rental, I had my whole life……. Chorus I'm not falling, I'm not falling in love, I'm not falling in love without you,

about

Lee Walter Redding Kansas City, Missouri

Raised on 60s rock, steeped in 90s Britpop ennui, and guided by contemporary neo-soul, Lee Walter Redding weaves dry humor into vibrant sonic textures that sway from wistful to chaotic. Think 2010s Nick Lowe fronting The Velvet Underground. On warped vinyl. ... more
