After Hours

Let it all out
Say what you mean
Let it all out
Say what you mean
Ooh
Take a deep breath
How does that feel
Take a deep breath
How does that feel
Ooh
We’ve got work to do
And after hours are through
I’m going home with you
All the lines are blurred
Beginning and end are just words
Another page has been turned
Roll your shoulders back
Do you like that
Roll your shoulders back
Do you like that
Ooh
And when you come down
Will you find me
When you come down
Will you find me
Ooh
We’ve got work to do
And after hours are through
I’m going home with you
All the lines are blurred
Beginning and end are just words
Another page has been turned
Another page has been turned
Ooh
Let it all out
Say what you mean
Let it all out
Say what you mean
We’ve got work to do
And after hours are through
I’m going home with you
All the lines are blurred
Beginning and end are just words
Another page has been turned
We’ve got work to do
And after hours are through
I’m going home with you
All the lines are blurred
Beginning and end are just words
Another page has been turned
Another page has been turned
Ooh

Waiting
03:40
|
|||
|
Silence in the other room
Patience is an empty tomb
Waiting, waiting for you
This single pane of the thinnest glass
Rattles as happy people pass
Waiting on nothing too exact
We’re not meant to be
I refuse to see
That you’re chasing me around the room
Maybe we’re something else
So hard to tell
Maybe we’re useless looking to be used
Gotta come to
There’s a voice coming from outside
Should I look or cover up my eyes
Waiting for someone to despise
We’re not meant to be
I refuse to see
That you’re chasing me around the room
Maybe we’re something else
So hard to tell
Maybe we’re useless looking to be used
Gotta come to
Gotta come to
Gotta come to
Gotta come to
Gotta come to

Shutting Down

Shutting down
We’re closing up shop
Leave the ground
This baby’s had enough
Singing
Someone’s singing
I can hear it
Laughing
Someone’s laughing
With my dearest
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Bundled up
Just leave a couple coins
I’ll arrive
With money for the boys
Swimming
I’ll be swimming
If I don’t pay
Rocking
Ferry’s rocking
To The Great Bay
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mm
Carry me
Let me sleep
Mm
Warm again
It’s not the end.

I’m right here
I’m right here and you could take me
I’m right here
I’m right here and you could take me
I’m right here
I’m right here
I’m right here
I’m right here
Right here
Right here
Just reach out
Just reach out and you could touch me
Just reach out
Just reach out and you could touch me
Just reach out
I’m right here
I’m right here
I’m right here
Right here
Right here
I’m right here
I’m right here
I’m right here
I’m right here
Right here
Right here
I’m right here
I’m right here
I’m right here
Right here
Right here

It's Only Time
04:52
|

Keeping the books and cutting ties
Drop in the bucket where your enemies lie
Left you for dead, I’m cold at best
It’s only time
It’s only time
It’s only time
It’s only time
You are a rock and I, a puddle
Sad little ripples, ever so subtle
Leaving grooves all over you
It’s only time
It’s only time
It’s only time
It’s only time
This is not another apology
After a while I know they lose their meaning
This is a promise that I’ll try harder to make you feel like a human with feelings
It’s only time
It’s only time
It’s only time
It’s only time
It’s only time
It’s only time
It’s only time
It’s only time

Got All Night
02:11

Do you want it straight, should I water it down
If you don’t get here soon, over and out
If you stop by the store could you grab a snack
Promise that I got a job, I’ll get you right back
I’m just looking for a little time
Close the door and hit the light
Easy does it, let’s do this right
I wanna get to know you we got all night
Take the road that winds around
All the pretty shops on Dundas West, I’m just around the corner from the Laser Quest
Can’t miss the house, we call it Garbage World
I know it looks scary with the tarp at the front but I assure you it’s nice in my place at the top
I’m just looking for a little time
Close the door and hit the light
Easy does it, let’s do this right
I wanna get to know you we got all night
I’m just looking for a little time
Close the door and hit the light
Easy does it, let’s do this right
I wanna get to know you we got all night
I wanna get to know you we got all night

That's Today

Overload, under fire
I’m a joke, you’re a liar
Mmm
Mmm
Corner light could be lower
A place to hide, a prison goer
Mmm
Mmm
Don’t be fooled, it’s all an appearance, a mask
I’m afraid to look, I’m afraid to ask
And that’s today
That’s today
That’s today
That’s today
Tiger tiger, little sheep
Who am I kidding, don’t make a peep
Mmm
Mmm
Did I miss the boat, I was lying upstairs
Watching videos in my underwear
And that’s today
That’s today
That’s today
That’s today
Mmm
Mmm

Faithful Company
05:05
|

|
Look at you making plans
Handling other hands
But what goes up must land
Mmm
Be a good little pet
Tidy up all you shed
And don’t you dare forget
Mmm
Faithful company
Why must you wrong me
What’s the definition of a good deed
I took you for granted and you took me for a good read
Isn’t it kind of strange
How it’s all taken place
We’re facing different ways
Mmm
Faithful company
Why must you wrong me
What’s the definition of a good deed
I took you for granted and you took me for a good read

Worry Not

Worry not for me
Not for them or he
Put the rot to sleep

Won't Be Sold
04:12
|

|
You were never a liar
You just wanted to find her
There are so many ways
And you told her today
You found a new embrace
Has your bed been colder
Now, without her shoulder
I was there last year
Just frighten your fear
I’m mine, you’re yours, we’re here
Why should we do what we’re told
Time’s running out, feeling old
Don’t believe what they said
You can sleep when you’re dead
Won’t adhere to the fear
Won’t be sold
La la la la la la...
You are not the only one
Who’s feeling lonely but
It always seems that way
When your heartstrings fray
I’m truly here to stay
Why should we do what we’re told
Time’s running out, feeling old
Don’t believe what they said
You can sleep when you’re dead
Won’t adhere to the fear
Won’t be sold

It's Easy
03:41
|

|
I can make the bed, it’s easy
It’s easy
You can go ahead, you please me
You please me
Will it ever stop, this wanting
You’re haunting every thought
In every crowded room, I feel you
I feel you
I know you feel it too, we’re both new
We’re both new
I’m out of ideas this time
Just be mine
Could it really be this easy
It’s easy

Alyson McNamara is a Toronto-based singer songwriter.
Her new record "Let Me Sleep" features
a fresh, stripped down sound.
“Through performing as a trio, I realized how much space there was left for my vocals,” Alyson explains. “I was always curious about where the middle ground was between having that full-band sound and maintaining the intimate feeling of watching a singer-songwriter.”

Favourite is probably actually "No Such Thing", but that isn't an option for some reason. Saw it live and was intrigued enough to be here. The arrangements are so carefully considered.
