Drinkin' in the Dark 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Late at night when I get home Sitting down, no need to roam Come on in, turn off the lights Yeah, me myself and I Everyone has gone to bed But I'd rather stay up instead A restless man and a lonesome heart I'm drinking in the dark Drinking in the dark Stuck in a cave without a spark Thinking, "How'm I gonna leave my mark?" When I'm drinking in the dark Looking out the window It's cold outside, there's new fallen snow Well, there's no place that I gotta to go Except for drinking in the dark Turn out the lights and stare outside There's no place to run and hide Sitting here with my favorite beer Drinking in the dark Drinking in the dark Let's go drinking now! Another day has passed me by The sun is down, no more blue sky Gonna give it another try And go.. Drinking in the dark Drinking in the dark Stuck in a cave without a spark Thinking, "How'm I gonna leave my mark?' When I'm drinking in the dark Drinking in the dark Oh well I'm drinking in the dark Drinking in the dark

Quicksand 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Walking in circles, I don't know where to go Looking for something; what, I don't know A feeling inside just won't let me be Won't you come and rescue me I'm walking in quicksand Sinking in a foreign land Walking in quicksand Looking for a helping hand Things are changing every day, I guess I'm just the same The cost got high, I can't play that game Morning brings the light, oh you can see Won't you come and rescue me I'm walking in quicksand Sinking in a foreign land Walking in quicksand Looking for a helping hand The harder I struggle the deeper I fall My body's been swallowed, nobody's heard my call Sand's all around I can't get free Won't you come and rescue me I'm walking in quicksand Sinking in a foreign land Walking in quicksand Looking for a helping hand I'm walking'...

about

Tom T. is a Milwaukee legend and founding member of the 80s New Wave Punk band, Those XCleavers. He recently recorded some of his songs in a stripped down acoustic format to reintroduce them in a new way. These songs are catchy, a tad grimy, and have a playful humor about them while never losing their sneer. If the Replacements or Husker Du only had acoustic instruments laying around, this is what you would get.
