Sugar bear, you're nearing 50 I see no sign of slowing, no need to slow The cricket on the wall draws its horsehair bow Plays it long and low, plays it long and low The third time was not a charm but they must've done you harm Say it isn't so, say it isn't so My thoughts are with you My conscience is on death row

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today For what purpose, I can't say Pardon me, darling I didn't know who else to call But what are friends for after all? After we parted, I had second thoughts 'Cause throwing out your cigarettes won't rid you of your cough Dearly departed, we are gathered in your name All in all, it's such a shame Honestly, honey It was always meant to be Maybe just not you and me Though on reflection, I've been wrong before And so I hope you'll understand if I'm back at your door Once more I guess what I'm trying to say is: I think it's all right In self-doubt not withstanding I'll think of us tonight Dearly beloved

Salinas, California Sunshine and beautiful weather Suburban life floats through the ocean Somewhere you can get away A perfect place to start again Cold starlight, fog in the morning Landscape off in the distance Rain or shine, beautiful garden Flowers on the windowsill Let's go outside and start again Salinas, California Clear skies and suburban living Salinas, Salinas Perfect place for everybody Perfect place to start A perfect place to start Again Start again

There's a tear in the ass of these pants You can't see it at first glance Look a little harder and there's a chance It'll appear for you I need a second opinion I need peace of mind to feel one I need a kindhearted minion To tell me what to do I can't believe you I can't believe you I don't think I could if you told me to I can't believe in you I can't believe you I can't believe in you I don't think I could if you told me to There's a tear in the ass of these pants Select image and enhance And you'll see those are my pants Tearing away But I go out unbeknownst To the rending of my clothes Causes a stir among most folks Leaves me with nothing to say I can't believe in you I can't believe in you I don't think I could if you told me to I can't believe in you I can't believe in you I can't believe in you I don't think I could if you told me to I can't believe in you

about

Peter Vilardi and I decided to record a split EP at two songs apiece with a pretty cool condition: one of the songs had to be a brand new original and the other had to be a cover of the other's material. Thus, the Split Ends EP was born.

Please enjoy these 15 minutes of music. We're both pretty excited about it and it was a lot of fun to make.

As always, much love to the SVies.
