Miniature Walrus 03:22
lyrics
buy track
MINIATURE WALRUS … when you're small just about six years old then there ain't nothin' better than that one … the one you look up to that is strong and so bold and you want to be exactly like that one but then when you get older way toughter and you forgot those things that you thought were true when you were smaller and things were taller you'd look up and down and all around and be astounded by the smallest thing that sounded the tallest like a miniature walrus … when you're small just about six years old then there ain't nothin' better than that one … the one you look up to that is strong and so bold and you want to be exactly like that one 'cause you know there ain't even when you hit the ground and you're down and out and you're out and down and you need someone to make that sound that is taller than you and you're smaller than it like a sound that is bound to be found around a miniature walrus

Lonely 03:56
lyrics

LONELY like a caleidoscope will turn and make the picture change although the image may be shifting the colours you can see will be the same when I wake up a new opportunity with every new day and at the end of the day it's what you do and not about what you may say Chorus: it gets so lo-lo-lo lonely in the night Verse: I better tell you know before my time has come to go ah ah - time to go now I want you to know it's been so nice to know you ah ah - nice to know better tell you now before my lights go out it's been so so nice to be around and even if some doubt is what I must go through this is my life I'm livin' now Chorus: it gets so lo-lo-lo lonely in the night

WAISTING TIME there were times when I sat all alone on a beach on Friday in the afternoon waisting time watching sunsets pass me by on a beach on friday in the evening light Chorus: and I'm sitting and waiting, sitting and waiting... … sitting and waisting time What's it like to be a wave in the sea? My brothers and my sisters are connected to me father's a cloud and my mother's the rain part of a circle again and again and again Chorus: and I'm sitting and waiting, sitting and waiting... … sitting and waisting time Bridge: The sunset looks just like the world's on fire blazing hot burning higher and higher I'm gonna watch the night cool down the flames just relax on my back and stop playing the game come again, come again, come again, come again, come again, come again – aaaaah come again, come again, come again, come again, come again, come again – aaaaah

PLANT SONG they start off really small and shed in the fall they tickle your feet and break through the concrete they open up doors and light up a room lively up a place and put you in the tomb water and the sun they eat them they keep us company they're brohters with a tree they are corn on the cob and rellish in a hot dog spread all over doowap they're not blind but they also can't see witness a lot of things, you and me kids on a playground, lovers in the park parents at the office, junkies in the dark people pass away and people be born birds in the spring and cities in the winter feet on the ground and planes in the sky spread all over doowap

HOLD ON there's someone that won't let you go and it hurts like you are being burned by yourself 'cause you just can't say no you're saving up to rake in what you earned you're helpless like a child that's lost running home and not finding the way but you're happy just to be back in her arms you're insecure and in total disarray you got to hold on and be shy my friend don't let yourself be passed by by a friend there's somthing that you just can't say something that you can't talk about you're in a place you said you'd never stay glued together lips and a mind that's loud you lie awake close to dawn and you hear a car drive down your road and you wonder is it her here she comes it's so absurd and you feel so dumb and your heart goes a little faster hold on and be shy my friend don't let yourself be passed by by a friend when facebook's got the truth so bent you got to hold on and be shy my friend

It is hard to say for how many bright faces JAMARAM can be accredited for within the previous 20 years of performing live on stage. With approx. 100 shows a year, the number of singing mouths and dancing legs in the audience probably ranges into the hundreds of thousands. Having toured halfway around the world and despite, or maybe because of their longevity, the band is far from retiring! ... more
