Dyke Grenadier Catchy synth-pop combined with talented vocals are a sure thing to put anyone in a good mood and continue humming choruses and refrains over and over again until they're no longer in your head. Favorite track: Good Morning, Boyfriend.

Tuft eared squirrel Besides being very talented musicians with a real groove and catchy 80s inspired tunes, I would take all of these fine looking gentlemen and gentlewomen on a prom date. Favorite track: Too Real.

Portraits 02:02
we may have all of the answers but we still don't know the questions we may find new ways of living in the past portraits hung in the hall watch as they fall again we may gain our concentration but we lose all of our focus we may find some recognition in the past portraits hung on the wall watch as they fall again

hold the button down for snooze just to steal some time with you all the things you have to do the world can wait until we're through morning's going to change my mind i'll wake up and realize you were just a dream of mine you'll disappear with the sunrise pull the covers tight and keep me warm ignore the alarms, hold me in your arms pull the covers tight and keep me warm ignore the alarms, hold me in your arms forget about the fight last night close the blinds and kill the lights find the coldest pillow side tomorrow we can make things right having trouble staying asleep sheets are tangled round my feet trip and fall into a dream i know you'll be there to catch me pull the covers tight and keep me warm ignore the alarms, hold me in your arms pull the covers tight and keep me warm ignore the alarms, hold me in your arms

X My Heart 04:16
i cross my heart and hope to i thought i liked your darker side i stared into it till i knew it and i thought that was love i tried to cross your great divide i was the bridge of understanding and you burnt me alive i never was the jealous type but thoughts of you and him always bring out the bully in me you miss my calls, i lose my mind so sick of waiting for the rug to be pulled from underneath i cross my heart, and hope to die you lost the worth in your words when you decided to lie i cross my heart and hope to die you lost your place in my heart, and now it's time for goodbye i thought i liked your darker side i tried to cross your great divide i never was the jealous type i cross my heart and hope to die you'll fix it all, you'll change today unwreck our home and try to salvage all the plans that we've made what's done is done, it's not the same you'd promise anything i'd wish if it convinced me to stay i cross my heart, and hope to die you lost the worth in your words when you decided to lie i cross my heart and hope to die you lost your place in my heart, and now it's time for goodbye

By My Side 04:45
new but familiar i tried to tell you that we had met before a drunken exchange i learned your first name you promised you would call a week went by, i was proud but shy scared of rejection, scared to see you followed through, table for two i lift my gaze and our eyes meet… you're in my thoughts now the longer you linger the more i wish you'd stay pluck at my heartstrings you make my world sing, i want to hear you play i met your folks, hope against hope that someday you'll get to meet mine forget that town, their catholic frowns remember that you make me smile it's too soon to know for sure but i think i've finally found the love of my life this world is cruel, my dear but it all makes sense when i have you by my side don't mind the flat tires don't mind the walk home i know that you'll be there and when my world breaks you've got the duct tape it's how you show you care the months go by we live and die you watch me struggle, help me grow and you change too, as boys must do i look at you, and i just know… it's too soon to know for sure but i think i've finally found the love of my life this world is cruel, my dear but it all makes sense when i have you by my side

Walking Dead 03:45
use your hands to hold your head you're not alive, you're walking dead and piece by piece, you'll fall apart first your mind, and then your heart you don't look good, you don't look well i know you best, so i can tell i love you more than you will know so let me in before you go. and lift it up, up onto your shoulders and feel the weight grow as you get older lift your head, wipe off your brow you've shrugged it off, at least for now so fast asleep inside your bed you come alive, you're walking dead and lift it up, up onto your shoulders and feel the weight grow as you get older love won't die, someone should have told her feel the weight grow as you get older lift your head, wipe off your brow you've shrugged it off, at least for now so fast asleep inside your bed you come alive, you're walking dead

Mood Swings 03:16
push me on a mood swing but not too high please just keep me moving between the earth and sky i'm not one for walking i don't wish to fly push me on a mood swing but not too high i'm dreaming please wake me i'm melting contain me pumping on the heartbrakes eyes drowned in light life spans out before me suspended in time whisper to me softly tilt your head just right pumping on the heartbreaks eyes drowned in light i'm dreaming please wake me i'm melting contain me come save me cause lately i'm fading i'm fading i'm dreaming please wake me i'm melting contain me

Too Real 03:57
feel the world watch as you crash and burn wheels in the air strangers' necks stretch as they pass right by pretend to care if they stood still, if they looked real close they'd see the truth but they drive on, back into their lives no time for you don't talk don't talk it out cause they've heard it all don't change don't change a bit cause change is too hard don't you dare say to me you know how it feels just fake just fake it off until its too real feel the sweat fall as the sun beats down you squint to see all the air dies as the bell jar drops you try to breath if you talk fast, if you try too hard they'll know for sure when the time's right, you can slip away you've done your part don't talk don't talk it out cause they've heard it all don't change don't change a bit cause change is too hard don't you dare say to me you know how it feels just fake just fake it off until its too real all your friends, they've stopped calling in go outside again can't you see, there's a life to lead please just smile for me feelings fade, nothing stays the same soon your heart will change don't talk don't talk it out cause they've heard it all don't change don't change a bit cause change is too hard don't you dare say to me you know how it feels just fake just fake it off until its too real

Strange 03:51
people are strange they never give you what you want right away they ask for payment in advance my town is strange it never wants to let you go far away it asks for payment in advance it's an impression of a lesson that i learned from you it's got emotion and a motion so it's gotta be true but your diction caused some friction, you're not talkin to me your advice ain't so nice but i gotta be free, gotta be free we may have all of the questions but we still don't know the answers we may find new ways of living in the past portraits hung in the hall watch as they fall again we may gain all of our focus but we lose our concentration we may find some recognition in the past portraits hung on the wall watch as they fall again your love is strange it always takes but never gives you away it asks for payment in advance
