lyrics

A Fine Fortress

One thing always leads to another

I was ready to move on before it was over

Timing’s not always like pillows and smiles

But I let myself loose, now I’m running wild

{Pull up the blankets / and turn off the light}x2

I’m coming around to hang out at your door

Cuz you opened it once, now I’m down for more

Sneaking in in the middle of the night

Find each other in the dark, wake up wrapped up in the morning light

{Pull up the blankets / and turn off the light}x2

(Chorus):

Oh, baby you’re so fine

With your original lips and your big brown eyes

Pull up the blankets / and turn off the light

{Oh, baby you’re so fine}x2

I’m pulling teeth out of the ground

In my natural garden, in my garden of sound

And every time I move around

A little flower of song shoots up, shoots up for me to write down

{Pull up the blankets / and turn off the light}x2

(Chorus)

(Bridge):

Your window’s open, I am cold so bring me in

Into our fortress of our gorgeous rock’N’rollin’

Pull up the blankets

And turn off the light

(Chorus)x2

Go To Hell, Chris Thompson
by Ah, Venice

I got to do a schwack of live shows with Ah, Venice and at the time we were playing a lot of these songs. Aside from the nostalgia, Chris is one of the most talented songwriters I've ever encountered, Kendall Patrick

thanks for asking
by fine

1st time I heard Max's voice coming thru the PA my jaw dropped. About time I heard some writing as raw and accurate as this. A brain is a battleground and some people just know how to write about it Kendall Patrick

Sliver Lies
by sweetdreams

Matt Chesterfield is out of left field. One time when I barely knew him, I asked him why he always sung with an english accent. "I don't". I've never met anyone who writes like him, or is like him. <3 Kendall Patrick
