Conditional
I have to say, C, their new song ("She's not home"(?)) was something special to hear. The more and more I hear it, and being witness to The Todd perform it, I like "Conditional" better with each listen.
I wish I had a magic machine that would transport me to one of their performances anytime I'm feeling down. It would do more than any liquor, drug or confection to improve my mood. I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with their DVD when it finally sees the light of day.
Curled up on the sofa with your tail between your legs
I won't pretend that I know you, but I wish just one time
I could get inside your head
All the treasures that you're hiding
All your secrets never safe
Are adding up to lines of frustration
I read it on your face
You know I love you even when you run away from me
But I don't want to chase you any more
So if you have to go away then I won't make you stay
Just lie awake and listen for the door
With a lack of direction
With eyes sad and red
In need of affection
You wind up on my bed
And all the treasures that you're hiding
You know they're never safe with me
Won't let you be my god
Won't let you be my slave
What else is there left to be
You know I love you even when you run away from me
But I don't want to chase you any more
So if you have to go away then I won't make you stay
Just lie awake and listen for the door
Not bad for a song about his dog.
