EVERYDAY’S A REVOLUTION

all songs by Mark Poole

FLOAT AWAY
I’ll float away, like a bird in migration
I’ll float away, cause we need love for self-preservation
I need a place that I can hide ‘cause I can’t trust and I can’t confide
When you speak I won’t pay attention,
At the very sight, at the very mention
I’ll float away (at the very sight, at the very mention)
I’ll float away (I can turn my attention)
There are tricks that I could try, follow patterns in the sky
I wish I may I wish I might
Bring some change into my —
Life until a new ambition
Can break this spell of indecision
All the dreams I can’t envision
Float away each night and day
Anti-static silver sax
All the days I can’t get back
Coiled wire hanging free
Somehow it got the best of me
I’ll float away (somehow it got the best of me)
I’ll float away (like a bird in migration)
I’ll float away, I can turn my attention
I’ll float away because we need love for self preservation

EVERY DAY’S A REVOLUTION
Hustlin’ on life’s boulevard
No amount of traffic’s going to slow her down
Her dreams involve the navigation of upward movement never backing down
‘Cause every day’s a revolution
Every day’s a revolution
Every day’s a revolution
When she comes around, she comes around
She said “remember me from way back when?
Well now the new is old and the old is new again.
Oh I get it, it’s a joke, forgive me there’s just too much fun here to poke
‘Cause every day’s a revolution
Every day’s a revolution
Every day’s a revolution
When she comes around, she comes around, oh yeah
No need to fear, just be aware
That the bullshit piles up high when it comes to her affairs
She says “I’m sick of being a good little wife, no one’s going to tell me how to ruin my life”
‘Cause every day’s a revolution
Every day’s a revolution
Every day’s a revolution
When she comes around, she comes around
Every day’s a revolution
Every day’s a revolution

MARIELLE
I don’t care how far we drive
The sun still sets in the west
In the cool she comes alive
The evening sun brings out her best
So I’ll be your mirror, Say yes
And your cold feet relief fund
I’ll be your driver,
I’ll be your heartbeat and then some
So please tell someone about the absolutely best one,
Marielle, her name is Marielle, her name is Marielle, her name is Marielle
She’s a hardcore collector
I wouldn’t put it past her if she’s floating
She’s a bad song ejector
Never peaking and all-knowing
So please tell someone about the absolutely best one,
Marielle, her name is Marielle, her name is Marielle, her name is Marielle
Gods in the making
Are never really sure which way they’re going
She says chances are for taking,
We’re so much better off not knowing
So please tell someone about the absolutely best one,
Marielle, her name is Marielle, her name is Marielle, her name is Marielle
So please tell someone ‘cause she’s the absolutely best one.

MOCK SAVIOR
Mock savior, someone’s gotta help us now
Dark sailor, deliver us from being down
It goes on and on
You know he’s really got it down
It goes on and on,
You know they try to tell us now
Stark raver, your truth spins like a merry-go-round
For the star-gazers that are stuck inside the here and now
It goes on and on
You know he’s really got it down
It goes on and on,
But someone’s gonna get it now
Mock savior, it’s the stories that we can’t put down
But the heartbreaker is the way you always let us down
It goes on and on
You know he’s really got it down
It goes on and on,
But someone’s gonna get it now
He’s a mock savior
He’s a mock savior
He’s a mock savior
He’s a mock savior
Ooo-ooo-oooooo

HEART LIKE MINE
You rise, never feeling lonely
You don’t need anyone’s help to get by
That’s not my number
though I try to find some feel-good sunshine
I can’t unwind knowing the blinds still leading the blind
But the dumb got dumber
So when the sunbeams reflect into your eyes now
Do you feel like everything is going to be alright
And tell me when you seek what do you find?
Some peace of mind? Or do you have a heart like mine?
I look at all the smiling faces, why don’t feel blue?
The answers never seem to satisfy me.
How they set their spirits free I haven’t got a clue
Their happiness, it only mystifies me
You rise, never feeling lonely
You don’t need anyone’s help to get by
That’s not my number
Though in spite of all the things I’ve tried,
My heart, it just can’t be denied,
Still beats to a different drummer
So when the sunbeams reflect into your eyes now
Do you feel like everything is going to be alright
And tell me when you seek what do you find?
Some peace of mind? Or do you have a heart like mine?

EASY COME EASY GO
Did you ever find yourself running in a dream?
You wake up scared and you don’t what it means
You just keep chuggin’ down the road
And though you feels some days you’ve lost you way and you don’t know where to go
Did you ever have a love hit you like a tidal wave?
Swallow you and carry you away
But the tide of time came rolling in and eroded it away
And you’ve found you drifted off much further than your were before that day
So I say, easy come, easy go
Level through the high
Level through the low
Are you lonely now? You aren’t alone
Someday you’ll find your way and you’ll know, it comes easy as it goes.
Did you ever feel your work was spinning a bit too fast
You keep reach out for something you can’t catch
Well if the options on your table then are getting pretty thin
And it seems like you’re starting over again and again
So I say, easy come, easy go
Level through the high
Level through the low
Are you lonely now? You aren’t alone
Someday you’ll find your way and you’ll know, it comes easy as it goes.
So hold to your lover from sunset til the dawn
Know easier times, eventually they come
We are only travelers as the lifetimes come and go
Gotta keep holding on, don’t let go, don’t let go
So I say, easy come, easy go
Level through the high
Level through the low
Are you lonely now? You aren’t alone
Someday you’re light will shine and you’ll know, it comes easy as it goes.

INCINERATOR
She is all you need when your heart needs to bleed
Like a fire in the sand melt the chains from your hands
She’s a revelator, an uncomplicator,
She’s a liberator, incinerator
She stole her daddy’s car, she’s going from bar to bar
Burnin’ down the coast, her dreams seem so close
She’s a generator, an uncomplicator,
She’s a liberator, incinerator
Crimson energy sparks of blue and green
Gonna burn it in the street til your heart feels complete
She’s revelator, an uncomplicator,
She’s a liberator, incinerator
No promise to be breached, and we’re free of enemies
The air is dark and sweet, the ground moves beneath your feet
She’s a generator, an uncomplicator
She’s a liberator, incinerator
Incinerator, incinerator, incinerator, incinerator

I’M DEPENDING ON YOU
Sleeping at the wheel
Driving in the rain
The voice inside your head, just talks to you in vain,
Time can’t keep up with you
You hear the faintest echo
Callin’ out your name
But once your heart is broken, it never beats the same
That’s why I’m depending on you
People talking tough, people talking loud
No one says a word, they’re just faces in the crowd
I felt so all alone, like a never had a friend, until there was you
The waters at the window
What am I supposed to do?
If I ever need a friend to help me make it through
You know I’m depending on you
People talking tough, people talking loud
No one says a word, they’re just faces in the crowd
I felt so all alone, like a never had a friend, until there was you
Faster than a flood, coming out the gate
I need to make some memories that I can tolerate
That’s why I’m depending on you
You know I’m depending on you

I’M A HAWK
You don’t know who I am but I sense the changes in the wind
I see you as you walking down the block
My eyes are fixed on you, I’m a hawk
Call me a killer, I’ll plea misunderstood
I’ll do unto you as I think I should
I see mysteries your senses won’t reveal
As I dive into your magnetic field
Soaring up I’ll take the wind
Above the clouds and down again
A hundred miles along the cliffs and rocks, I’m a hawk
Guilt and sorrow mean to nothing to me
I’ll spread my wings and fly on in solitary
Daylight comes my hunt will have begun
‘Til my nighttime falls down on your setting sun
Soaring up I’ll take the wind
Above the clouds and down again
A hundred miles along the cliffs and rocks, I’m a hawk

EVERY SHADE OF BLUE
Reds and greens are pretty things but they all fade from view
And I can’t smile at anything when I know I can’t have you
And the stars shine bright for you
But for me they bring out every shade of blue (every shade of blue)
Clowns and freaks on losing streaks are trying to be cool
For the girls that know their every needs, but they will not be fooled.
And the stars they shine their light on you
But all I see is every shade of blue (every shade of blue)
Maybe I’ll turn to dust one day but for now I just gotta get away
But I guess I’ll have to stay and see things through
Everywhere there are colorful scenes but the light I see around everything stays blue, so blue
The birds still sing – they pay no mind, like the boys they flock around you
And I just can’t keep from crying, wishing that this weren’t true
And the stars they shine their light on oyur
But all I see is every shade of blue (every shade of blue)
Reds and greens and pretty things turn to deeper shades of blue

A LOT LIKE YOU
He’s a brain-robber,
Tell-tell snow-jobber
Someone you never want to run into
He’s a benefactor,
He’s an actor’s actor
And he’s trying hard to make an impression on you
But you’re hiding something behind your mask
You better listen up ‘cause this is my forecast
There’s a fire burning and it’s spreading fast
The one thing you can’t outrun is your past
Though you say that you were somewhere else, it looked a lot like you
Lil’ birds are singing
And the stories that they’re bring
Have started to come true
The bride that you were kissing
Now all her moneys missing
And you’re trying hard to spin something that sounds true
But you’re hiding something behind your mask
You better listen up ‘cause this is my forecast
There’s a fire burning and it’s spreading fast
The one thing you can’t outrun is your past
Though you say that you were somewhere else, it looked a lot like you
But you’re hiding something behind your mask
You better listen up ‘cause this is my forecast
There’s a fire burning and it’s spreading fast
The one thing you can’t outrun is your past
Though you say that you are someone else, it looked a lot like you

A BIRD WEIGHS NOTHING
Everybody get up and get loud
Is it too late or are we just too proud
Holidays over, in hibernation for now
When we were young, we wanted to break free
Like an ocean, in some secret dream
Our little world was exactly as it seemed
When the echoes of your past start ringing in your ears
And ghosts you thought were far away begin to reappear
Don’t hold too tightly to your dreams, you’ll give in to your fears
Better let ‘em drift on out of your mind, you’ll forget it in time
When you were in school
They always put you down
I’d wait for hours hoping you might come around
And summer never seemed to melt this icy town
A bird weighs nothing, I’m really going to try
To lift my bags up and throw them over the side
And in my own way, I might learn to fly
When the echoes of your past start ringing in your ears
And ghosts you thought were far away begin to reappear
Don’t hold too tightly to your dreams, you’ll give in to your fears
Better let ‘em drift on out of your mind, you’ll forget it in time
Your resolution is to keep your guard
But navigation there is always hard
You’re close, but you feel so far away
And in our solitude we put bars
And point our compass to the falling stars
And wish as they burn out and fade away
Oh, oh, oh

SHADES OF SUNDAY
Day by day that’s how they say
You’ve gotta take it boy
Find your own joy
It’s on the street
When your heart skips a beat
And you feel you can’t go on
That’s shades of Sunday
You see the face in time and space
But you don’t know the man at all
Heading for a fall
It’s when your on your feet
Looking up to greet
The fading sunbeams with a smile
Feels good for a while
It’s when you keep on moving, just trying to prove them wrong
It’s when all your messes just keep you guessing – right or wrong?
And when the day is done and you feel like it has just begun..
It’s just shades of Sunday
Such a lovely face
Looking out of place
In a world that had come undone
Pressure under grace
It’s when there’s ghosts in the air
Showing lots of wear
And they make themselves at home
So you’re not alone
It’s when you keep on moving just trying to prove nothing’s wrong
It’s when all your messes just keep you guessing all along
And when your time has come, and you feel like you have just begun
It’s just shades of Sunday
Day by day, that’s how they say
You’ve gotta take it boy
Shades of Sunday
And I feel it comin’ on
Shades of Sunday
