if you don't want to love me I think that's fine I know you're thinkin' of me so we got time you can seek me out when you're in need you know where to find me last night you walked beside me, then I took you home hopin' that you might try me, but you left me alone can't you see what I want and what it could be you know where to find me you got me in a spin, my patience is wearing thin waiting to see you again and again you can seek me out when you're in need can't you see what I want and what it could be girl don't be afraid, just take the lead you know where to find me

I want to love her all of the time and I could be with her like she was mine though she is walking 'cross the bridge before me the sky seems now to darken, why didn't someone warn me no, that's not the way that it should be go, go far away from near to me I can be the valiant one, I can protect you but don't ask if I'm stayin', babe I don't expect to your heart may grow lonely, I'll be gone tomorrow just like you did with me you'll find new love to borrow no, that's not the way that it should be go, go far away from near to me

The Show 02:57
the ash falls crumbling masterfully down from your stimulant crafted so perfect but your nervousness and your deserted nest will cut you a break you deserve it the appraisal committee is bundled up tight for the paste and its taped up edge all the castaways reach for an uncharted spot where they pretend to stand on the ledge the rhyme schemes repeat to the horror of judges who swore with one hand on their mouse and inches from where those expressionless eyelids won't look there's the shadow of doubt bear in mind those that trampled the floor didn't leave you no prints for to follow across it's just this way and that way on two seperate paths in the space where your teeth can't be flossed Arthur's cup is in reach I can see it up top on my cabinet immense all my shoved-over food escaped where it's kept and the Saxons are climbing my fence but his sword that he said he had pulled from the stone looked like one I had crafted for you obligated to clap in your chair where you're strapped it's not long before the show is through it's not long before the show is through

Too Young 02:34
they say that you're too young for me but that's not how it seems get tied up so easily though you're only in my dreams I'm gettin' tired of wanderin' though we don't know where to go but you're so much older than all those other girls you know they say you're not the one for me but I don't think that's true look at what you've done for me though I'm not the one for you I wonder why I'm stumblin' though my shoes are standin' still I know you'd love to love me girl but I wonder if you will I think I need someone's help by the way I'm acting now I am much too young myself I'm gettin' tired of wanderin' though we don't know where to go but you're so much older than all those other girls you know

hollow fortress now be stone with the forces of your tone ringing true take your time now, rush around now it's a new day move along now, look around now it's a new day it's a new day may the white whale take you home though you might sail on your own that's O.K. move along now, look around now it's a new day it's a new day move along now, look around now it's a new day it's a new day
6.
wake me up this morning, softly face the day we can live together, float and drift away thinking much too hard again, sing your mind to sleep keep your head held high you know, Earth beneath your feet and you'll find that you are real and you'll know you have it all and you'll see that I am here we are up against the wall
7.
can you tell me what's the matter will the things you speak be heard above the chatter can you see me hear me whistlin' your eyes they just play tricks when you're not listenin' keep your ears to the ground you'll find somethin' to say we just lay here and drown in the light of the day with your ears to the ground you can see how she comes when you stay in this town you can forget how to run are your thighs still are you standin' will you win the Earthly games you play a hand in sit beside me feel me near you I'm an empty window you can peer through
8.
it's gonna rain now child you got no place to hide all the trouble you did how many hearts have you hit you're gettin' tired on your feet but your mind won't let you sleep somethin' won't let you breathe you're not what you used to be and nobody loves you nobody needs you, no no everything is over I think you better go right now I used to love you more than life itself for me there just was no one else then came the day, the day you lied now somethin' inside my soul has died now you're down and out and you want me by your side but little girl I just won't sympathize my love for you is over now so little girl you better go right now
9.
Satisfy You 02:53
someone's gonna get hurt before you're through and don't be surprised if that someone is you how many hearts must break how many men will it take to satisfy you just to satisfy you another love, another fool to play the game another love, another fool we're all the same someone's gonna get hurt before you're through don't be surprised if that someone is you you're gonna find when it's too late a heart that just won't break to satisfy you just to satisfy you how many tears were cried how many dreams have died to satisfy you just to satisfy you
10.
I saw you in my dream world, and I could touch you and when I held your hand girl, I knew I loved you it would be hard to tell you, just what I think of but when you're here with me girl, nothing to speak of and I heard what you said and I feel all right I saw you in my dream world, you held me so close and when I tried to break free, I kicked my bedpost when I awoke from this dream, I still could see us I thought you talked about me, and you were Jesus
11.
you run your mouth all day long I can't get you to say a word seems like the truth is somethin' you don't think I deserve you better tell me everything about your other guy or little girl you know that one of us is gonna cry you tried to hurt my pride you tried to hurt my pride yeah but you don't know you say that you don't know now girl you say that you don't know just what's goin' on I know that you just can't admit how you done me wrong you're doin' evil 'cause you can't understand my happiness girl yeah you don't know tried to hurt my pride you tried to hurt my pride
12.
I don't want your money, I don't want you life I don't want your car or your beautiful wife how can I grow when you're cuttin' me down I'm spendin' my time gettin' run in the ground this town is a drag, I said that's for sure but I'm splittin' the box and I'm goin' on tour goin' to hell, that's what you say but don't you understand that I'm there every day I wear my hair long I ain't no G.I. Joe got a new way of life now, I'm lettin you know talk about your problems, and you say I'm the cause but this is my life and I make my own laws

about

"At the studio me and my friends use, The Mystic Fortress, we have this rackmount audio-storage device called the Masterlink, made by Alesis. We dump all our finished mixes onto this Masterlink, edit them a bit, then write CD’s off of it using its built-in burner. It’s like our motherboard, where we store all our music. We had a bunch of unissued Young Sinclairs recordings kind of languishing on the Masterlink, some newer ones from the 2009-2010 period, and some much older ones spanning as far back as 2006. At the suggestion of our friends and associates who were starting up a new music label, Sewn Together Records, we decided to go through the archives and compile whatever Young Sinclairs songs were lying around that hadn’t ever been put out on any album. The band was on somewhat of a hiatus during 2011 and the next step, if any, was unsure. We didn’t like the idea of all these killer Sinclairs tunes just sitting on the Masterlink not being heard, so John Thompson and I went through and handpicked all the songs that make up this collection, “Culled From The Link”. In a way, it was like a cleaning-out process, a way to start over from a clean slate. Though, believe it or not, there are even more unheard Young Sinclairs recordings deep within the archives that have yet to see the light of day. Those will eventually be available on future releases – we plan on doing further installments of these collections." -Samuel Jones Lunsford
