What's Good 03:16
Don't act like I never told you So sure these words I spoke Open up, take a breath, and blow Left burning in my throat You bring me your confession And ask if you're forgiven But your integrity is in question What makes the next time different I won't let you bring me down I don't have to let this one play out I've got to have some peace of mind I want nothing more What's good is what's important What's good to you is foreign I won't let you bring me down I don't have to let this one play out The other day I saw your face I had to hide and turn away This can't go on one more day You told a lie in the bed you made I won't let you bring me down I don't have to let this one play out

Lingering 03:30
We could be the best of friends You should leave me alone I'm left with no defense When you've got nothing on If you crawled inside my bed You'd just throw me off We could be the best of friends You should leave me alone There's no stopping it No stopping, no Don't be mistaken with What I give when I give in I don't remember what I did It was whiskey I was swimming in Your body's lingering The smell is permanent Don't be mistaken with What I give when I give in There's no stopping it No stopping, no

We spent a day on the floor Cutting pictures up There was talk of more There was a hint of love You asked if I would leave with you If you went on the road I said I couldn't go So you went on your own I wish that I'd gone along To see your pretty face some more I wish that I'd gone along You'd sing your songs, I'd play guitar Now your face is haunting me The picture we cut up You're terrified and beautiful Like you'd seen a ghost Your eyes, they follow me I see them in a crowd Oh how I hope they belong to you I can't put mine down I wish that I'd gone along To see your pretty face some more I wish that I'd gone along You'd sing your songs, I'd play guitar You are the sound that moves through me And I want some more The current alternates You leave me on the floor I wish that I'd gone along To see your pretty face some more I wish that I'd gone along You'd sing your songs, I'd play guitar

I can't hear you talking I can't see your lips move I can't hear a sound Unless you tell the truth I got to be sure darling You're not gonna go Find another life And leave me all alone Good lord darling I give you everything But it don't compare from what you take from me I see those other men, girl And how they look at you And how you turn and wink And how I'm made a fool I gave you time to change your ways I gave you far too long I'll give you about 5 minutes more And then I'm gone Good lord darling I give you everything But it don't compare from what you take from me

Figments 04:09
The whole world is cold I like awake in bed The only sound Is my fading breath Forgive our sins Keep your daily bread Jesus won't save you From this kind of death I want to break apart I want the stars to fall... ...in line, but everything Just takes too long I'm not meant for this I swear I don't belong I'll run underwater All night long If there are no friends There are no hypocrites When my eyes are closed You're just Figments I want to break apart I want the stars to fall... ...in line, but everything Just takes too long The door is closed, & I'm all alone With a dull ache in my head There's no more sound This body's almost dead If there are no friends There are no hypocrites When my eyes are closed You're just Figments

Oh 03:06
There's a breed of love Not the one you're thinking of The one that purity's not part of What you all think you know I forgot a life ago When she left me swinging from the gallows You know my intentions If you have objections You don't have to stay on I'm a man of dignity I'll tell you before you lie with me A gentleman don't always want a lady Come over here darling Rest your weary soul Lay your head upon my pillow Tell me all your troubles Tonight I am your man You've got me 'til the morning

Expectations 04:25
My life's work is to Get to the end With as few scars as I can So far my efforts Have been lacking Cuts and bruises, I'm broken My life's work is to Hold up my head Not ashamed of what I did (or didn't do) To be a man Is to be subject to The mess we make of emotions Examine the company I'm in Your love must meet my expectations It's all in a day's work To ease your panic With white lies and placating What I should tell you is I've been wounded Mortal sins unforgiven I've been waiting for Perfect timing Counting days 'til the ending Examine the company I'm in Your love must meet my expectations My life's work is to Get to the end

It's just like I'm not there And you don't even care The light is on I shouldn't have to ask To spend some time at home I shouldn't have to go Don't try to be my friend Just take care of your own Keep my hands off your policy Go find some shelter, go into hiding I'm under your foot The ground is shaking I hear about your life Can't imagine what it's like I bet it's torn apart All over the floor Shit lives where it's thrown Left to decompose Surrounded by it all I bet this place is overgrown Keep my hands off your policy Go find some shelter, go into hiding I'm under your foot The ground is shaking
9.
Float across the river Welcome to the shore I will take you higher Than you'll ever go I will be the garden You will be the rose Solid ground to hold you When the wind blows I can sleep for so long Quiet nights I never heard before I know Something tells me I should never let you go You can be desire I can just give in You can be my woman Do you understand (I think you understand) I can sleep for so long Quiet nights I never heard before I know Something tells me I should never let you go

about

The Minor Three Boston, Massachusetts

The Minor Three are a classic power trio...sort of. There is dynamic energy like the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and heavy blues-tinged riffs like The Black Keys. The writing is personal and intelligent and the sound is fresh and modern with references to a myriad of influences, old and new. ... more
