No way out
Talking politics alcoholic kicks I’m a goner
There’s no place to sit your so full of shit I’m stalling
Would you get a drink for me just don’t think for me brother
Cause you talk so loud and you seem too proud
You holler
Nowhere to go that’s where
Who stole the show who cares
There goes my head oh well
As we explode together
Patriotic haze I can smell the blaze ignited
Superficialize candy coat my eyes and deny this
You’re so positive that you always win you’re blinded
Sleepers in disguise
Fool the FBI hotwired
Shoot the earth and the sky
Kiss the air flying by
Pack my suitcase wave goodbye
Second coming right on time
No way out now
No way out now
Nowhere to go that’s where
Who stole the show who cares
There goes my head oh well
As we explode together
Nowhere to go that’s where
Who stole the show who cares
There goes my head oh well
As we explode together
Shoot the earth and the sky
Kiss the air flying by
Pack my suitcase wave goodbye
Second coming right on time
Second coming right on time
Second coming right on time
No way out now
No way out now
No way out now

Rollercoaster
Down through hairpin turns
Loves inertia burns
It scorches then it swerves
It’s gone and then returns
I’m climbing fast and gaining height
Losing my composure my composure
Was it my mistake to end up here tonight
Just to feel you closer feel you closer
I’m swerving round your edges ready to ignite
On a flying inferno
I’m on a rollercoaster
And I’m overdosing
Round your perfect curves
Scenery is blurred
My silent saboteur
Less than I deserve
I’m leaning forward in a rush of speed
And I’m falling over falling over
Over the edge into the deep
I’ll meet the floor of the ocean the floor of the ocean
A messed up hunk of twisted steel
Just lying there broken
I’m on a rollercoaster
And I’m overdosing
You put me up then push me down
You pull me round and round and round and round
You put me up then push me down
You pull me round and round and round
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Tailspinning
Hot transmission seeks ignition
Burns me out with bold advice
Your Venus tilting and I’m modestly wilting
Oh lady luck where do I roll my dice
I’ve been tired I’ve been torn
I’ve been in between
Tired and torn and tailspinning
So tired I’ve been torn I’ve been in between
Tailspinning
I’ve been trying to keep my head
While my signals turn to red
If I trip on you some pardon me
I’ve been loading up my mind
I’ve been gaining from behind
Just a passing shot rebounding
Intuition I’m in your orbit
I’m pulling near target in sight
I’m still tailspinning and it’s just the beginning
Oh douse me cold before I ignite
I’ve been tired I’ve been torn
I’ve been in between
Tired and torn and tailspinning
So tired I’ve been torn I’ve been in between
Tailspinning
I’ve been trying to keep my head
While my signals turn to red
If I trip on you some pardon me
I’ve been loading up my mind
I’ve been gaining from behind
Just a passing shot rebounding
I’ve been trying to keep my head
While my signals turn to red
If I trip on you some pardon me
I’ve been loading up my mind
I’ve been gaining from behind
Just a passing shot rebounding

Kitty
I never see my precious mother
I am looking for a little sister
Won’t you please tell someone lonely
For another to come find me
I’m sitting on my sunny shelf
Wishing for more than just myself
Staring into the floor I scratch
Fishing all day without a catch
Stay at home
I don’t use the phone
Please tell me where to find her
I’m not afraid to sleep all day
I am a lion but I am kinder
I know I should resist her yet
I cannot help insisting pining
Lying twisting on my back
Won’t you come play with me
Well I am waiting for that lucky day
Just knowing that you might come my way
It’s feeding me hope to play my ace
I’ll be chasing your tail and licking your face
Would you believe I am royalty
Everyday’s like I am retired
In a lair without a care
We’ll be lovers never fighters
Bored and spade we’ll have it made
I can think of nothing finer
When we meet I know you’ll agree
I’m a lion but I am kinder
All I fear is my desire
All my tears they make me blinder
I’m a dragon without fire
I’ve grown lazy less inspired
Well I am waiting for that lucky day
Just knowing that you might come my way
It’s feeding me hope to play my ace
I’ll be chasing your tail and licking your face
Would you believe I am royalty
Everyday’s like I am retired
In a lair without a care
We’ll be lovers never fighters
Bored and spade we’ll have it made
I can think of nothing finer
When we meet I know you’ll agree
I’m a lion but I am kinder

Coming Down
A surprising quick entry
Crack the safe but it’s half empty
Well some is better than none.
It’s danger that attracts you
It’s desperate but you have to
Keep grabbing all that you can
We’ve been fooled somehow
Double crossed ourselves
A drunk Cupid‘s aim is worthless
He gives a mission with no purpose
It’s a frozen hearted deal
We’ve been fooled somehow
Double crossed ourselves
Now we’re
Coming down coming down coming down
Just to
Kick around kick around kick around
Now we’re
Coming down coming down coming down
Just to
Kick around kick around kick around
It’s easy getting in but tough getting out
Swimming upstream like a couple of trout
I raise my white flag and wave it all about
You started off sweet then ended up sour
Bumped me up to speed then cut off the power
I used to be upbeat but now I am just a downer
We’ve been
Coming down coming down coming down
Just to
Kick around kick around kick around
Now we’re
Coming down coming down coming down
Just to
Kick around kick around kick around

Anaconda
This is grim fascination
Sinking teeth into me
This is pure hallucination
Circling around my feet
But there’s one thing that’s clear
As I pull up near
Is you’re a predator
That I’m ready for
Lucifina dances
She mixes smooth advances
And I stare and I stare and I stare
Anaconda
Seduce then paralyse
Squeeze the life out of me
Anaconda
You’ve got me hypnotised
I’m so still when I know I should flee
Here we are bruised do I make you confused
I was hoping that you meant what you said when you left cause now i’m
Spinning on a stool in a diluted pool of my regrets
Wishing I was just a little more crushproof
And I always second-guess
And get so obsessed
I’ve got these pent-up feelings beating on my chest
Never resting
Why don’t you take a crack at me
Wrap yourself around me
I’m not even scared I’m not even scared
Anaconda
Seduce then paralyse
Squeeze the life out of me
Anaconda
You’ve got me hypnotised
I’m so still when I know I should flee

Lucia
In a flowering orange grove
Every blossom tipped with gold
Every leaf of every tree is there for you
Emerald eyes and skin of snow
A zephyr sighs an aura glows
From your guilded shell step onto the shore
From out of the waves
Born a fairytale
How sweet is her name
Lucia
Lucia
I’ve been wasting patiently
Chasing daydreams crazily
I’ve been all around the world
Hoping to find you
I’m diving for pearls
While the eddy swirls
How can I return
I’m in over my head
From out of the waves
Born a fairytale
How sweet is her name
Lucia
Oh Lucia
Oh Lucia
Lucia

Mutiny
Gunning for danger
You’re cunning yet crude
The daily swarm so misinformed
How can I navigate on through
They’ll tell you you’re number one
They’ll show how the west was won
It’s entertainment
They’ll sucker you with the bait
And charge you the highest rate
While they keep you sedated
The crew is wild
We’re wasting away
It’s mutiny
Mutiny
Stumbling for answers
We’re crumbling apart
The mounting stakes
Those sneaky snakes
We’re paralysed with apathy
They’ll put on a happy face
And make a convincing case
But I am disappointed.
They’ll pile it high on their plate
And make like they’re playing straight
For their corporation
The crew is wild
We’re wasting away
It’s mutiny
Mutiny
The crew is wild
We’re wasting away
It’s mutiny
Mutiny
The crew is wild
We’re wasting away
It’s mutiny
Mutiny
The crew is wild
We’re wasting away
It’s mutiny

It Takes two to know one

It Takes 2 To Know 1
She brakes from her high speed chases
She's right for the wrong places
She waits while the light changes
Then drives her way home
Through gasoline rainbows
With grey skies in LA raining down
Well It takes 2 to know 1
And It takes you to leave me undone
For thrills and spills and kisses won
You never choose there's never rules
It just has to come
It's not up to me
She puts on her sweet honey face and
She sits there with not much to say since
She's quiet while his heart races
She flips through her magazine
With silver screen daydreams
To drown out the noise that's all around
Well It takes 2 to know 1
And It takes you to leave me undone
For thrills and spills and kisses won
You never choose there's never rules
Just has to come
It’s not up to me
It’s not up to you
It wasn't meant to be
For us

Pretty much everything. The playing is incredible and the compositions lovely. But most of all I love the intensity of listening, joy and collaboration that oozes from every piece. Three of today's finest jazz musicians who were clearly thirsting for live co-creation and pull off a masterpiece on this album.

Little Big II: Dreams of a Mechanical Man
by Aaron Parks
supported by 4 fans who also own “moosejaww”
A story of sadness, confusion, and despair ending in hope and certainty that the cosmos is not a random and meaningless jumble of atoms populated by mindless mechanical men, but a world of meaning, beauty, and truth. Emotions and the heart are not everything, but they are an essential part of being human.
