A Place
Probably there's a place
somewhere
where we cohabit a common space
somewhere
Ordinary things we do
are true
things I've never shared with you
somewhere
we cook each night just like real people
we sweep each flight just like real people
Probably there's a place
for the love of lost souls
some little piece of space
where our lives begin to go
Probably there's a place
somewhere
where we cohabit a common space
somewhere
A dimension where what I want
is true
Where the tangents all re-loop back to
we watch TV just like real people
read quietly just like real people
Probably there's a place
for the love of lost souls
some little piece of space
where our lives begin to go
Probably there's a place
for the love of lost souls
some little piece of space
where our lives begin to go

Simple Machine
(verse 1)
you put me in a strange place
a crowd without an introduction
the sound loops through the dead space
the feelings like a vague corruption
the verbiage holds the true grace
that's lacking in the elocution
my selfishness must save face
I'm looking for an institution
(Chorus)
tones change, soothing time
a functioning world in pantomime
Born to see things, I shouldn’t have seen
swallow me and keep me clean
Simple machine (X4)
(bridge)
momma told her child
you’ll have to stand and fight
stop and you’ll feel lonely
disappear from sight
climb up past your laurels
and brace against the seems
don’t ever sign it over
for the quality of means
(verse 2)
I'm conscious of the new pace
aware of my own deconstruction
the second shoe, the coup de grace
expectation is the interruption
past messages in locked safes
I’m praying for a revelation
I feel the burn of cold space,
Dissolve my concrete dedication
(Chorus)
tones change, soothing time
a functioning world in pantomime
Born to see things, I shouldn’t have seen
swallow me and keep me clean
Simple machine (X4)
(bridge)
momma told her child
you’ll have to stand and fight
stop and you’ll feel lonely
disappear from sight
climb up past your laurels
and brace against the seems
don’t ever sign it over
for the quality of means
Simple machine (X8)

Toshirō Mifune
A man came west from old Nippon
I saw him kill in Rashomon
He played Macbeth in Throne of Blood
Yojimbo fighting in the mud
The Anti-hero was born within
Eastwood took his marks from him
A Samurai so tough and mean
Like Bogart mixed with Wolverine
Toshirō Mifune
Toshirō Mifune
Toshirō Mifune
Toshirō Mifune
He cleaned up nice.... The ladies liked
Before Han Solo he was the Han Solo type
He was the first Man with no name
Forget Stallone, Forget John Wayne
His eyes were fury his hands were steel
and yet his passion it could make you feel
No one’s ever taken his place
Sean Connery never had to face
Toshirō Mifune
Toshirō Mifune
Toshirō Mifune
Toshirō Mifune
Ronin,
Shogun,
sword was fine don’t need a gun
Drunken Angel
Stray Dog
Film Noir badass dialogue
Actor
master artisan
Akira’s pick
his leading man
50 years may fly on by
He’s still the Seventh Samurai!!!

Neo Eclectic, Soul Reflected, Sounds From Real Life!
Born in the glory and pageant of the
noble working cities of Boise, Cleveland, Schenectady, Boston and Syracuse, "The Heartsleeves" is the voice of the no frills sincerity of real world American life.
We write our songs live, and refine them into a melancholy powder of sweet painful regret and sprinkle it on hearty soul pop.
