Just in time for allergy season

Tue, 21 May 2013 13:57:01 -0400

Something’s crept in under our door
Pollen floating across the floor
Making me exclaim “Achoo!”
Some molecule that’s breaking down the glue
That’s been blocking histamines in you

Ooh
I feel like I just can’t breathe anymore
But I’ve been clogged and I’ve been stuffed up many times
We go through tissues
The sneezy leading the sneezy

Well I thought that Zyrtec would do the trick
But all it did was make me sick
Next I tried some Claritin
From then on my head did spin

Ooh
I should buy stock in tea and Kleenex
But I don’t have much money to lose I guess
I walk in circles
The dizzy leading the dizzy

We’ll be decongested somehow

There’s an invisible wall inside my head
But I’ve tried Allegra, allergy shots, all sorts of meds
I walk in circles
My cat thinks I am crazy

I’ll be decongested somehow

I see the landscape change before my eyes
Leaves that were green are turning dry
No nothing looks the way it did before
Winter’s coming; I’ve got something to live for!

I feel like I just woke up from a dream
Breathing easily, everything is what it seems
I walk outside
Even go for a run

I’ve been decongested somehow

There’s no more wall inside my head
I’ll sleep with windows open when I’m in bed
I walk in straight lines
No more sneezing in threes
I’ve been decongested somehow

No more invisible wall inside my head…

We’ve secretly replaced Richard’s usual flat white with Folger’s Crystals.

Let’s see if he notices.

Oh, I think he’s noticed alright. RUN!!!

Signed CD booklet and set list from last night’s Boston show by The Staves.

It was fantastic. The S-Ts sound just as amazing live as they do on the record.

“Ashley Schaeffer’s BMW” is the placeholder name for an as-yet-unnamed new song. It deserves a proper name and a prominent place on their next release.

I love your jokes Dionysia♥ :)

Don’t cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don’t keep your distance

I was tagged!

Do you have any dreams?

I have a recurring one about getting stuck in an elevator, but that’s probably not what you were asking about!

I’m singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin’
I’m happy again
I’m laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun’s in my heart
And I’m ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I’ve a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin’,
Singin’ in the rain

Unable to stop in the middle of the interview to deal with his itchy back, Richard had to improvise.

You may remember that Keane was asked in an interview about writing songs about cats.

It seems they have taken that question to heart and the result is a whole album.

Track listing:

A Paw to Swat You
She Has No Catnip
Broken Cat Toy
Something In Me Was Purring
We Might As Well Be Siamese
No Dogs In My Way
Catshaped
Hair Ball
The Way I Want It
Watch How You Meow
Other Cat at the Door

This is the last time
That I will hack these coughs
I remember the first time
The first of many yaks
Throw up in the corner
Or hide it under the bed
Say these things they go away
But they never do

Something I was sure of
Came up from my stomach
Something I think was hairy
And very slimy

The last time I barf on you anytime I like
My one last hairball
I barf on you anytime I like
Those pills don’t make everything right
I barf on you anytime I like
Do you oh do you mind??
