1.	Save Me Maryann 03:04	lyrics	buy track
Something you looked for for so many years What a surprise when it comes in a moment And, crossing the mountains of tears Stakes a new claim on the peak of the suffering Led by a vision of faith Something you saw in a dream Writes a new page on the face of the fears Over the face of screams Oh come and save me, Maryann Oh come and save me, Maryann Oh you can play me Maryann Oh like a xylophone Don’t leave me here all alone In a new country, I pick up the phone And through the wires I make a new contact now And the clouds slip away There’s a new day as the sky makes an opening Despite the dying storm, I find it hard to feel warm Takes more than her wordlings, more than her smiles To carry across the miles Oh come and save me, Maryann Oh come and save me, Maryann Oh you can show me, Maryann Oh show me where to roam Every ambition strikes home Back in the world, you can float in a daze Like a balloon that a child let go too soon So you look for a weight Something to let out the air so you deflate This is the highest of things This is the purest of pure How can I hold it when you’re not there Emptiness at my door? Oh come and save me, Maryann Oh come and save me, Maryann Oh I believe in Maryann Like she believes in me Counting the days til we’re free Oh, Maryann
2.	A New Beginning 03:38	lyrics	buy track
I never thought that I would matter in that way I never would have guessed that one of us would cry today A window opened. Now I don’t know where I am Why can’t we just stay where we began? A new beginning Another end This is forever If we pretend You never thought that you would want to try again You never figured you would give so much to anyone When I appeared, you tossed your caution on the floor Back to run the race you lost before A new beginning Another dream This could be magic Or just a scheme I have seen this road before I have opened up a door to find, behind it There is nothing like the sun How to end the start once it’s begun? I have seen this road before I have opened up a door to find there’s nothing there I couldn’t live without Once that happens, all there is is doubt
3.	War Hero 04:04	lyrics	buy track
In the distance there is thunder As you come down out of the clouds Four long years I have been waiting The sky is dark but there is light The rushing fills my ears The wind, it carries away tears Now the world is filled by the sound as you come Every day you lived with danger It was your friend, like a warm bath Back at home, I darned my stockings Watched Mickey Mouse, saved chicken fat While you were killing men, I planted a Victory Garden Now the world is filled by the sound as you come Oh, faith is all you have when you lead a love by letters Is it everything you need? If love is all you have, and love is all you need Then why are all us people living lives of misery? Every day in things around me I could catch hints that you were there Something in the crowded places Flash of a voice, shine of a hair I hope you still love me I wonder what I will see Now at least the veils are falling away I met men every day And they all had things to offer And they thought they could fill my needs But you are my hero I hold your memory A rope that I grab on to when I fear I’m falling free Oh, you are my war hero You rise above the crowd A note of peace when everything is loud You’re everything I hoped for The light that fills my sky And you put the tears here in my eye

NEW ADVENTURES IN POP 005

Class is something that can be difficult to come by in music these days. That this class also comes in a package with spot-on, even prodigious, melodies, and an overpowering personality is something close to a miracle. The New York quartet (previously CHARIOTS OF TUNA) play a beyond-perfect pop at its finest, with a luminous energy inherited directly from TEENAGE FANCLUB, with the crystalline guitars of THE LA’s and the vocal precision of THE BEACH BOYS, as you can hear on marvels like “Save Me Maryann” and “A New Beginning”.
