SWEETLOOP

SWEETLOOP – 2009

SONGRIDER
By Vijal Patel

Kissing in the mouth of a mountain side
Trying I believe the things you hide
Under my guitar and in my arms
How you ride this song
Hurry up my sleeve tranquilize
You’re braver on the days you agonize
Under my guitar in my arms
How you ride this song
All the way to where ever you go
Do not ever pretend
Peering in on a one way show
I go where it ends
On this song on this song I ride on
So open the door without a key
The air is slow despite the heat
You ride back there in the very last seat
Seasons change so do we
You fit along nice you fit along neat
You fiddle in time you fiddle so sweet
You fit along high you fit along low
You feel so right a little like home
You fit along nice you fit along neat
You feel so right you fit along me
Kissing in the mouth of a mountain side

THREE
By Amy Stouffer

Stop making sense right here
Stop talking in my ear
Stop all the late night promises to me
You’re never leaving her
Time I finally learned
Me you and girlfriend still make one two three
Your words and life a lie
Unlived unfurnished and sly
I’m tired of adding to the storyline
No time to hesitate
Yeah I can hardly wait
I gotta get back what is mine tonight
Take me home won’t you
Take me home won’t you
Take me home to myself
What’s that you have to say
Of course you want me to stay
Girl’s out of town and you got no set time
I want to give into your kiss
But life’s worth more than this bliss
This hill might be high but it is worth the climb
Take me home won’t you
Take me home won’t you
Take me home to myself
Stop making sense right here
Stop talking in my ear
Stop all the late night promises to me
You’re never leaving her
Time I finally learned
Me you and girlfriend still make one two three

COLD PYRE
By Vijal Patel

Burn down your scaffold your blindfold too
Come on never let me down again
Every single day that I pay for
Every mistake since my birth
Have you ever shown a better way
Oh I’m begging won’t you carry this away
Twirling in circles around you for you
Promise me this time you will have
Very little word on the question
Many other turns on the answer
Do I find another way to say
Oh I’m begging won’t you carry this away
Cold cold fire
Cold cold pyre
Oh but if you wanna take another swing at me
And tell me everything that you see wrong
But I won’t be bought
I won’t be bought by a miracle
Alone disaffected in a ruby room
Water building higher up on a grave
Blowing up a chimney a stone tree
Rolling in an old place a cold place
Shaven down to my baby face
Oh I’m begging won’t you carry me away
Cold cold fire
Cold cold pyre
Oh but if you wanna take another swing at me
And tell me everything that you see wrong
But I won’t be bought
I won’t be bought by a miracle
No baby I won’t be bought
I won’t be bought by a miracle

COMFORTER
By Amy Stouffer

Don’t blink your brilliant thinking eyes
They’re both wrong
Don’t say I’ve had too much to drink
The night is long
You’re brave you took the dare
I know that it ain’t fair
But love won’t let us down
We’ll be the last around
Take anything you want
Underneath your sheets
Underneath is where we always can be free
The moon is beckoning again
Time to dream
Close my eyes and count to ten
Hope redeemed
I know you’d never lie
Felt truth in your goodbye
But love won’t let us down
We’ll be the last around
Take anything you want
Underneath your sheets
Underneath is where I always want to be
Drag me, off the stage
Turn over the next page
It’s so tragic when you’re out of rage
I’m a pixie paperdoll
Your sparkly lit up free for all’
And I think it could be time to fall
But I won’t let you down
I’ll be the last around
Take anything you want
Underneath your sheets
Underneath your sheets is where I have to be
I’m in I’m in over my head when I’m with you
I’m in I’m in over my head when I’m with you
I’m in I’m in over my head when I’m with you
I’m in I’m in over my head when I’m with you
But love won’t let us down
We’ll be the last around
Take anything you want
Underneath your sheets
Underneath is where I always want to be

FIREBUG
By Vijal Patel

Hungry cold and sitting stoned bug is chirping in my ear
Can you tell me what you want I can tell you what I don’t
You call and you call and you call and you call and you call and you call then you call
Then I know it’s time to go when I don’t want to go no more
I found the way to another perfect view
But I like to set things on fire this time it was you
Morning is the worst of all the early noise is oh so cruel
Complicated by the light don’t call me pretty anytime before noon
You fall and you fall and you fall and you fall and you fall and you fall then you fall
Bent over double in time for tea the second round will not be free
I found the way to another perfect view
But I like to set things on fire this time it was you
I found the way to another perfect view
When I see smoke in the valley it reminds me of you
And all those petty things they say they don’t hurt me anymore
Cuz they ain’t got soul no they ain’t got soul
And all those petty things they say they don’t hurt me anymore
Cuz they ain’t got soul no they ain’t got soul
And all those petty things they say they don’t hurt me anymore
Cuz they ain’t got soul no they ain’t got soul
And all those petty things they say they don’t hurt me anymore
Cuz they just don’t know no they just don’t know
And all those petty things they say they don’t hurt me anymore
Cuz they ain’t got soul no they ain’t got soul

GIVE & TAKE
By Amy Stouffer

Take a little walk in my shoes he said
Take a little smoke step inside
Time to get away from the world he said
Not too much left to decide
Give me more reasons to stop she said
Give me your arm understand
Loved you more than I should, she said
But tonight ain’t part of my plan
He’s not a homewrecker
But he knocks a lot
Keeps her on her toes
She asks the winter to
Stop the spring
But all her flowers grow
She cries for him
She dies for him
She lies every single day
In new and different ways
Lays in constant wait
For his sun to shine
He just smiles
If you go away I will die he said
Feeling all too human today
Can’t you understand this is life she said
And I think this is the only way
She cries for him
She dies for him
She lies every single day
In new and different ways
Lays in constant wait
For his sun to shine
Wanting more than madhouse rhyme
Hoping for his sun to shine
Sighing as her heart unwinds
She cries for him
She dies for him
She lies every single day
New and different ways
Lays in constant wait
For his sun sun to shine
For his sun sun to shine
He just smiles
Take a little walk in my shoes he said
Take a little smoke step inside

SETTLE DOWN
By Vijal Patel

Called upon a friend this morning
Spent the hours walking talking
Fell into an antique window
Candy flags of wars long ago
Sisters swirl above the street
Wrapped in airy purple sheets
She’s a ghost of city lights
Lives between her daily desert night
Probably thought that we were just a dream
Told us settle down settle down
It’s late
Captain of hallucination
Warped beyond all recognition
Black box of a dirty shipwreck
Full of faceless voices on a stage
The oldest parts are always sinking
A newer thing is on the rise
Jumping off that lazy train
Find a way to make it here tonight
A careless world revolves beneath our feet
Whichever way our arrows fly
It’s fate
Wait forever spill the wine
Wait forever spend the while
Wait forever and spin then the waiting ends
Probably thought that we were just a dream
Told us settle down settle down
It’s late

KARMA & INERTIA
By Vijal Patel

Little cars in the park
’round a Florentine merry go round
Spinning in the shadow of exhausted lamps
A little hot a little cool
A little vini in the afternoon
And a thousand marble marvels under my belt
Michaelangelo Galileo
Now I know where they want to go
To buy the Gucci bags to hold their bones
Hold their bones
They’ve had enough
Had enough had enough of here
Had enough had enough of fear
Had enough quite enough to go go around
Go around
Little birds on holiday
So they danced and romanced for days
In the end remained good friends then parted ways
Watch your back wash your clothes
Check the wire for a message from those
Folks and fellas sad to see you go
If you win you will lose
And baby if you cheat then you will be used
When karma and inertia gang up on you
You’ve had enough
Had enough had enough of here
Had enough had enough of fear
Had enough quite enough go go around
Go around
Little cars in the park
‘round a Florentine merry go round
