Casual Use

spending all my hours in the evenings all alone
took you all this time to even realize i was gone
couldnt shake the feeling walked the block inside my head
paced around for miles between the kitchen and my bed
but i dont really mind
been a couple years since i reached for whiskey on the rocks
culprit in my pocket coulda sworn i changed the locks
the next thing i know its 4 am and i can barely see the floor
wander round Manhattan tryin to find a little more
but i dont really mind
chalk it up to god cuz he's just tying up the score
why do i take it to the deepend when i get a little bored?

70th Avenue Hustle

gloomy in the union square station
nerves are glowin like the national debt
well i got bills i aint paid but its so safe to say
got no intention of repayin them yet
one day there might be money coming in on the side
you know there may not be a need to fuss
i think i see a light on the horizon
but it may just be the city bus
one day my jackets might not be lifted
one day my numbers might not be so red
one day i may lay beside somebody i love
in somethin bigger than a twin sized bed
70th avenue hustle
tryin to keep my hands out the cold
i know the rent where i stay is about eleven days late
why cant you just leave me alone?

Long Long Lonely

you could be a sinner, you could be a saint
hell for all i know you could picket the pearly gates
or you could bum a smoke from Peter, might as well ask for the light
whatever you have to tell yourself that will get you through the night
you could be a sinner, yeah you could be a saint
doesnt seem to matter where you sign your name
but if you're livin for the moment, atleast do that moment right
oh young boy, did you think itd roll so easy?
you played your hand just like a fool
now you're state lines away, though you'd swear that it feels further
you've got a long long lonely life ahead of you
cuz i used to play the lotto
yeah i used to play roulette
but when you play with peoples hearts they tend to get upset
and you can only piss into the wind so many times in half a life
and i know countless casanovas who go to empty beds at night
i couldnt be a gambler
i was never much for cards
you could cash me out but id never get too far
and then id find myself with Cajetan smokin loosies at the bar
no I never get too far

Always You

it was always you
from the very start
sweet conversations stranded
you were tugging at my heart
i couldnt stop what planned it
i was losing you
to a new temptation
it was nothing new
so if only for the night
this feeling
im holding on too tight
but when I (turn to) wake you're gone
this feelin
im tryin to hold on
it was always you
from the very start
the same conversations baby
i could play the part
to a new temptation
i was losing you
your absence left me reeling
tell me what to do

Maybe One More

I held your hand through central park
felt the summer stick we pulled apart
because I know you need to go
so maybe one more, pull me close?
we walked downtown through the square
missed the subway, you didn't seem to care
it seems you always miss the fall
another year another plane you gotta catch after all
because I know you need to go
so maybe one more, pull me close?
now im stuck here with the leaves
autumn in the city, wish you could see
will you come back at all?
wouldn't be the first time I was left waiting for a call

take care, or have I said that before?
its hard to focus with one eye on the door
im having trouble making sense of what you said
hey im sorry but whats your name again?
"dont let these moments pass when its all you have
its the time of your life now"
deep breath and feel the room close in
on an unfamiliar record and the smell of gin
put down that bottle of wine
there's no one to throw a line
you're here by yourself
dont get your hopes up waiting for somebody else
"dont let these moments pass when its all you have
its the time of your life now"

Early Service
03:32
|

but I wouldn't tell you what I meant
I mull it over in my head
it reads like a rehearsed statement
feel an air of discontent
as I pace a quiet kitchen spent
in what makes an early morning
thinking
praying
but you cant keep it all wrapped up inside your head
unsettled routine fills your cup
when silence sought wasn't enough
it reads like an early service
feel an air of discontent
as I pace a quiet kitchen spent
in what makes an early morning
thinking
praying
but you cant keep it all wrapped up inside your head

"theres nothin in that city that can fix what youve lost
so just come back where you came from, we can cover the cost
we can pump you full of liquor
here its cheaper for a pack
so just come home where you came from, and jimmy dont look back
cuz its the same parties
and its the same drugs
exactly where you started
when push came to shove
but the cast and crew
will be waiting for you
if you just come home"
now ive found my god in silence
but he never lets me rest
from how close i used to cut it
playin close to the chest
to the friends ive disappointed
and the family i let down
i guess ill just grow older
still thinkin of myself
"cuz its the same parties
and its the same drugs
just a few less in attendance
from when push came to shove
but whats left of the cast and crew
will be waiting for you
if you just come home"

Stuck With You

I take new roads to get home
cuz I won't rely on you putting me down anymore
won't let old haunts turn me blue
cuz I won't depends on you calling all the shots, to tell you the truth
cuz I dont want nothing to do with your flip of a coin
hot and cold indiscernible love that you give
im over you
and you know what cuts to my heart
but I won't confide no, I won't play the part
no more kicking me down
cuz I won't sit by no, won't go quietly by no
im up off the ground
cuz I dont want nothing to do with your flip of a coin
hot and cold indiscernible love that you give
but I dont want nothing to do
its a flick of the light casts a shadow the size of the moon
im stuck with you

From time to time
you ask if it was good
"it was good"
but the words dont mean what they should
"im falling apart without you"
is that what you wanted to hear?

Some catchy tracks on here, and my guy is not afraid to rip a guitar solo. Sounds like Daniel Johnston country at times, and the album cover looks like a hip-hop record.

A Billion Little Lights
by Wild Pink
supported by 22 fans who also own “Casual Use”
This album seems to bring you in close during quieter songs like 'bigger than christmas' and then it hits you with 'the shining but tropical' with a killer transition between them. This is one of the few albums I am always excited to listen to. It doesn't matter the mood I'm in, there's always something there for me. Thanks for such a lovely album :)
