Perfecting Loneliness (2002)

 * with Jets to Brazil


 * The trees creak with their arthritic arms / brittle in their powederd bark / this year took ten years to / tell me that I'm alone again
 * "Further North"


 * If it's sad / you know it's true / God is glad on bluer moons / When your room is all you do / it comes to you
 * "Psalm"


 * We put a monkey up in space / and I know exactly how he felt / looking at a lattice work of stars / missing his brothers back home too much for a postcard
 * "Disgrace"

Orange Rhyming Dictionary (1998)

 * with Jets to Brazil


 * Turtle on its back in the desert sea / and you look like a cool drink / just slightly out of reach / Draw myself into the shell / waiting on a sign from God / or a nod from hell
 * "Sea Anemone"


 * Be a believer / Believe everything / You'll be right half the time
 * "Chinatown"

Dear You (1995)

 * with Jawbreaker


 * Everyone tells me they're crazy / Crazy people aren't so fucking boring / Wake me when you're through being cool 'cause I'm snoring
 * "Unlisted Track"

24 Hour Revenge Therapy (1993)

 * with Jawbreaker


 * You don't know what I'm all about / Like killing cops and reading Kerouac
 * "Boxcar"


 * Put my ear to the door / I just heard gunshots and hot rods and sirensPeople kill me these days / There's keys in their eyes but they lock from the inside
 * "Condition Oakland"

Interviews

 * The records I end up liking I don't like right off the bat. I want to call our next record Tenth Listen. That's the test.
