Boom!
Stand up, sit up, say it or shout it
Well there can be no doubt about it
Once you know the way you want to go
Pack your bags, lace your laces
And you’re off to new strange places
If you could just get beyond the door.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times,
Making up your mind doesn’t change the ways the winds will blow
Boom! My heart beats like a drum,
When all is said and done
You bet your cash, that horse best know to run.
But you know it’s a strange way to go
Bearing wounds that heal so slow
Waiting for the winds to change
Boom! My heart beats like a hammer
Yes, I stop, start, and stammer
No, this life is not so glamorous
If I’ve said it said once, I’ve said it a thousand times,
Making up your mind doesn’t mean they'll take you seriously
1-2-3-4-5-6-7
Ol boys say you won’t get to heaven
If you stop to have a little fun
Then that whispering wind gets going
Never says which way it’s blowing
Boom! My heart, my heart beats like a drum
And you know it’s a strange way to go
Bearing wounds that heal so slow
Waiting for the winds to change

Spanish Sun
It was a lovely, stolen morning
In Barcelona, my dearest one
All of our plans and our best intentions
They were no match for the Spanish sun
You touched my neck and I started trembling
Spoke my name, I came undone
What a lovely, stolen morning
Wasting time in the Spanish sun
It was a lovely, Sevillian evening
The moon was full and high above
I looked at you dear, and I thought truly
This is the stuff dreams are made of
You took my hand and I started dreaming
Spoke my name, I fell apart
This kind of love dear, one in a million
Oh and it ain’t for the faint of heart

Wind & Rain
Bound by the wind and the rain
Bound by your love and your pain
The west is calling your name
But you can't get get around
You're low down
Came along to me
Sang a song to me
Spoke so low and sweet
I never had a chance to slow down
So our story goes
And our past unfolds
We were younger then
We were bright and bold
Staying out past dark
Rolling through the park
trying to find a way
to catch that spark
Bound by the wind and the rain
Bound by your love and your pain
the west is calling your name
but you can't get around
You're low down
Time to face the facts
You fell off your tracks
You were younger then
Now you're going back
Sitting at the bar
You, and me, and Mark
Talking 'bout those times
trying to feed that spark
that burned so bright in you
a little fire, so wild and loud
I never was so proud
as to call you my brother

What You Can't

What You Can’t
Well, you were born on a day of decision
Between earth and fire on that longest night
A pinch of ease, touch of desire
Healthy dose of fight or flight
You grew up headstrong, you grew up heart strong
You grew up lovely as a snowy day
Oh shining silence, oh subtle violence
God forbid anything stand in your way
You’ve got the whole world in the palm of your hand
Don’t let anybody tell you what you can’t
And since I’ve known you, you’ve had the mettle
To push right on through when things get tough
Those voices whisper, it’s time to settle
Lord knows you’ve never seen enough
You’ve got the whole world in the palm of your hand
Don’t let anybody tell you what you can’t
And when the wolves are circling in
It looks so hard to find a friend
You feel alone, you feel afraid
and how you long for easier days to roll on in
You won’t break or bend
You’ve got the whole world in the palm of your hand
Don’t let anybody tell you what you can’t

A Hard Year
I know it’s been a hard year
I know your heart is sore
I know your trust was broken
By the one you loved before
I know this is a dark night
And I know the sun will rise
I know I’m going to be there
To see the sun rise in your eyes
Darling, it’s been a hard year
Oh my heart is sore
The ones I love keep leaving
Heading for that golden shore
This is a dark night
Tell me the sun will rise
Say you're going to be there
To see the light shine in my eyes

I could listen to the guitar riffs from "in Love..." all day. This is a fitting swan song for an criminally overlooked KC band. I dare say they're Sleater-Kinney without the jagged edges. I'm so proud of what these three ladies will become.
