I was going to do this detailed review, but it’s just so incredibly good that words won’t do it justice. So good, that you just need to listen to it. So here.
TRACK 2: SHAKE ME LIKE A MONKEY
The thing I like about you
The way you do what you do

Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
Forever I’m yoursCome on everybody make me lose my mind
Everybody get together gonna make love shine
Lying in the park on a beautiful day
The sunshine in the grass
And my children play
Sirens passing fire engine red
Someone’s house is burning down
On a day like thisThe evening comes and we’re hanging out
On a front step and a car goes by
With the windows rolled down
And that war song is playing
Why can’t we be friends
Someone is screaming and crying
In the apartment upstairsFunny the way it is
Make you think about it
Somebodies going hungry
And someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebodies heart is broken
And it becomes your favorite songThe way your mouth feels in your lover’s kiss
Like a pretty bird on the breeze
Or water to a fish
The bomb blast brings the building crashing to the floor
Hear the laughter
While the children play warFunny the way it is
Make you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
Anothers dropping out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
A soldiers last breath
His babies being bornStanding on a bridge
Watch the water passing underneath
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Compared to how it use to be
With mountains and oceans
And winters and rivers and starsFunny the way it is
Make you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
Anothers dropping out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
A soldiers last breath
His babies being bornFunny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebodies broken heart
And it becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is
Make you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
Anothers dropping outStanding on a bridge
Watch the water passing underneath
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Compared to how it use to be
With mountains and oceans
And winters and rivers and stars
TRACK 4: LYING IN THE HANDS OF GOD
Baby I’ll be your soldier.
Gladly, I’ll do your bidding.
Just a taste of what you’re holding,
for just a taste you could only… me.Save your sermons for someone that’s afraid to love.
I’ll be right here lying in the hands of God.Here it comes diving in to me.
Now the floor is the ceiling.
If you never flew why would you
Cut the wings off a butterfly… Fly.Save your sermons for someone that’s afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel then you couldn’t be so sure.
I’ll be right here lying in the hands of God.
If you feel angels in your hand,
Tear drops of joy runs down your face, you will rise.Fillin’ me up, now drain me…
Skin begins to grow back slowly,
Faster ‘til I’m choking,
Really should call my mother, mother.Save your sermons for someone that’s afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel then you couldn’t be so sure.
I’ll be right here lying in the hands of God.I am in love with nothing less…
Tear drops of joy runs off my face,
I will rise for someone that’s afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel, then you couldn’t be so sure.
I’ll be right here lying in the hands of God.Now the floor is the ceiling.
If you never flew, why would you…
If you never flew, why would you? You…
Why would you?
I grew from monkey into man
Then I crushed 15 million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
‘Till I was slave and master at the same damn timeBut it’s why I am
It’s why I am
Why I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux KingOut of my head and into the room forever
A king of men it makes no sense
All bow to you while I worhip the wenchBut it’s why I am
The only one to make you smile
Why I am
A snake in the wood pile
Why I amOh still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
Out of my head and into the room
So when my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don’t cry baby
Don’t cryIt’s the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and the right
Us and them of the world
It’s the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the worldIt’s the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and the right
Us and them of the world
It’s the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the worldIt’s why I am
Unlikely to agree
Why I am
Runnin’ up my monkey tree
Why I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
We’ll be drinking Big Whiskey while we dance and sing
When my story ends it’s gonna end with him
Heaven or hell I’m going there with the GrooGrux KingWhy I am
Color of your pretty eye
Why I am
A snake in the wood pile
Why I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux KingOut of my head and into the room
So when my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don’t cry baby
Don’t cry
I saw a man on the side of the road
with a sign that read ‘will work for food’
Tried to look busy, ’til the light turned greenI saw a bear on TV and his friends were all drowning
cause their homes were turning to waterA strange, kinda sad, big old bear
surely would happily eat me
he’d tear me to pieces that bearWake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising…
Summers here to stay, and all those summer games will last forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.Tell me everything will be OK if I just stay on my knees and keep praying
believing in something
Tell me everything is all taken care of by those qualified to take care of it all.Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the waters rising
Summers here to stay, and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty oceanOne day, do you think we’ll wake up in a world on it’s way to getting better?
and if so can you tell me
how?I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing
the tourniquets not keeping hold in spite of our twisting
though we would like to believe we are
we are not in control
though we would love to believeWake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising…
Summers here to stay, and those sweet summer girls will dance forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.
Probably get it wrong much as I get it right, girl
But I got it right woman when I caught your eye
Remember most about that night
Is I love the way you move baby
Yes I love the way you move babyI like most liquor, but I don’t like gin
Dont always like the skin I’m in
But when we get it wrong we gotta start again
But I love the way you move me

Doesn’t everyone deserve to have the good life
Dont always work out
Cry cry baby, if you must
Just rememberJust remember..I love the way you love me
I love the way you move meI’m not all there, I’m a faithful sinner
I might get lost, but Ill be home for dinner
If God don’t like me, he can hand me to hell
But I love the way you love me girl
I love the way you move meI pray to heaven to keep my place
Till I look to the mirror and saw the Devils face
And Id be a dog, for a tail to chase
But I love the way you kiss me baby

Working men watch me, when I get home
Cause I love the way you talk baby

Please find your place
The room grows scarce
Once we’re all inside
The service can begin
For a moment, if you please
Forget what you believe
And naked, you will see
That we are all the sameBut how, your kiss
Your words, your lips
Your flesh, your bones
Exactly what you needWhy should I feel intrusion?
Why be afraid of what we do not understand?
To eliminate exclusion
Cut out the differences to feel like we belongOpen up your head
Open up you primitive
Open up your mouth
Open up your head
Your sweet primitive
Open up your mouth
It’s coming outOut there, no food or drink
How many days do you think you’d last
On your diamonds and your pearls?
I’m not a king, no, not a hero, not a fool
I’m not perfect, I’m flesh and bone
And I’m exactly what you needOpen up your head
Open up you primitive
Open up your mouth
Open up your head
Your sweet primitive
Open up your mouth
It’s coming out
Open up your head
Scream, you sweet primitive
Tell me what you saidBut how, your kiss
Your words, your lips
Not a gun to your head
You’re gonna die before you’re deadNot sad, when you’re gone
But when your light’s still on
Your dreams wont let you fly
Don’t be dead before you die
Hunger, till fed, give love instead
When it gets inside, watch the dead man squirmAbove all things
If kindness is your king
Then heaven will be yours before you reach your end.
Floating in the lower nine
Waiting for a boat to throw me a line
See my Stella smile
Sitting on the roof eating alligator pie
First day the water rise
Second day the sun is high
Third day Stella cried cause night times dark as a dead man’s eye’sTell me when is help gonna come
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?Morning ride on by thank lord everybody’s alright
Don’t mean to throw us a second line
The devil left us here to dieStella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?
All the things we know and
Everything we hoped for
All the things we wanted
Everything that was sure
Now there is a scar
Where the old men used to be
The corner store and market
Where Stella used to sing to meGrace is all I’m asking
When will grace returnRemember how I feel in those days of the summertime
Then Stella smiled
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?Tell me lord when help is gonna come
Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?
Baby when I think about you
All I want to do
Be by your side
Take a little ride
Take a little
Baby you know I’m all about you
And all I want to do
Is take a little ride
Maybe get inside
Maybe get inMama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna take your mind
And then you’ll know
I never knew what I do now

You, you, you, you, you, you, youMama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna steal your mind
And then you’ll know
I never knew what I do now
I never knew what I do now
I love you, love you, love you, love you
You, you, you, you, you, you, youSour as my fingers
Dirty pick pocket
I can still taste you
I won’t wash my hands
Red is the color
Of the sun with my eyes closed
I can still taste you
And I will againWoman please I be your possession
You are my obsession
Let me go down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, downDown little place it digs to go
Down little place it digs to go

Let me go down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down
I’m a ticking time bomb
Waiting to blow my top
No one would ever know
Not until I blew upNo one would believe it
He was such a normal guy
Shake their heads and wonder whyMartians fell from the sky
What would that do to god?
Would we put the weapons down
Or aim it up at the skyNo one would believe it
Except the fucking nut jobs
They laugh and cry we told you soBaby when I get home
I want to believe in Jesus
Hammer in the final nail
Help me pick up the piecesWhen everything starts to fall
So fast that it terrifies you
When will you hit the wall?
Are you gonna learn to fly?No one would believe it
Except for all the people
Watching as you fly awayBaby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
And lean me up against jesusBaby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
I want to believe in jesus
TRACK 12: BABY BLUE
Side note: This song makes me cry uncontrollably everytime I hear it. The song, the lyrics, it reminds me of Harry. Saying goodbye, broken heart. It’s got it all covered:
Confess, your kiss still knocks me off my legs.
The first time I saw you was like a punch right through my chest
and I will forever, ‘cause you’ll forever be
my one true broken heart, pieces inside of me and you’ll forever, my baby be.You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes,
your blue, blue world, you’re my baby blue.Confess I’m not quite ready to be left.
Still, I know I gave my level best.
You give, you give, to this I can attest
You made me, you made me.
You and me forever, baby.You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes,
in your blue, blue world, you and me forever.You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes,
in your blue, blue world, you and me forever.
