THE JELLY JAM LYRICS

1. I Can't Help You

[music by The Jelly Jam, lyrics by Ty Tabor]

Here comes a friend of mine.
He wants to be me.
And then another one
Just wants to see me

And everybody else
Say that they know me.
Sometimes the bottom line
Tries to control me.

I can't help you.
I can't save you.
I can't be your one and only friend.

Someone who wants to hang
Tries to inflate me.
When I don't go along
She wants to hate me.
And when I give a smile
They wnt to take me.
So I just try to give
Some of the fake me.

And when it's said and done
I want to leave it.
But I can't seem to get
Me to believe it.
I want to help you out
But I ain't got it.
You should have checked the price
Before you bought it.

I can't help you.
I can't save you.
I can't be your one and only friend.

2. No Remedy

[music by The Jelly Jam, lyrics by Ty Tabor]

I read directions - I read the signs
For my protection I would resign

All around the island
I could see the crowd
Back into the middle
Where I could think out loud to myself

Chasing rainbow colours
Try to learn my name
I was never good at this game

No remedy - I'm not so bad
No comedy - I'm feeling bad
No felony - but I've been had

I dropped a package - began to shake
Nowhere to hide from the rattlesnake

Deep inside the island wrapped in cellophane
Trying to be normal
But I can't stand the pain in myself

Chasing rainbow colours
Try to learn my name
I was never good at this game

No remedy - I'm not so bad
No comedy - I'm feeling bad
No felony - but I've been had

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

I don't know any monsters, no conspiracy
Even with the surface feeling slippery
And I think that I know you
At least to some degree in myself

Chasing rainbow colours
Try to learn my name
I was never good at this game

3. Nature

[music by The Jelly Jam]

[Instrumental]

4. Nature's Girl

[music by The Jelly Jam, lyrics by Ty Tabor]

Eternity, Infinity, morality in effigy
Conformity, conspiracy, minority in effigy
She lives in her own little dream world
She fell from the family tree
And wants to see how it will be in effigy

She... she is nature's girl
She's a mystery to all around her world

A refugee in poverty and rhapsody in effigy
With sorcery and decency
... Her chivalry in effigy
She'd like to be big as a mountain
Her life is as big as a sea
But bravery and mastery elude the key
... In effigy

She... she is nature's girl
She's the apple that was placed inside our world

5. Feeling

[music by The Jelly Jam, lyrics by Ty Tabor]

Once on a ride I was lef tin the forest.
And the leaves and the wind
Seemed to carry me home.
But when I arrived
It was long after morning.
And the heat of the day
Left me standing alone.

Voices calling...
I go falling in.
Someone said, "Let's go!"
But it begins.
And it seems like I've been here before.

Leave me my red cherry wine.
And I know I'll be doing just fine.
'Cause I'm keeping
This deep heart of mine from feeling.

Long after dark I was left out there wandering.
And I came across things I would never have seen.
And once in a while I'd imagine a ray of light.
And I'd think to myself,
"I might just make it out of this thing".

And when I awoke it was long after morning.
And it seemed like a dream, but I know it was real.
'Cause the glass had been broken
At the sound of a warning.
And the truth became known
In the things I had tried to conceal.

6. Reliving

[music by The Jelly Jam, lyrics by Ty Tabor]

Mr. Mr. of my youth.
You fed me bread and taught me thruth.
And one adventure... you took me out.
Showed what life is all about.

I don't mind reliving
All the things about my youth
That made me high.
I don't mind reliving
I was so much happier back then.

Cinderella of my youth...
You made me smile and broke my tooth.
And one adventure... you held my hand.
Made me feel I was a man.

I don't mind reliving
All the things that were so good
When we were young.
I don't mind reliving
I was so much happier back then.

8. I Am The King

[music by The Jelly Jam, lyrics by Ty Tabor]

Sleep come to me
Take me where I want to be
And let me stay
Everything is far away

And for a moment it's serene
And for a moment I control it
And I rule myself
'Cause I am the King (of nothing)
I am the King.

And dream away everything
That makes me pay.
Safe from the world...
Of broken love and boy and girl

'Cause no one else is coming after

9. The King's Dance

[music by The Jelly Jam]

[Instrumental]

10. Wind On The Way

11. Under The Tree

[music by Rod Morgenstein, lyrics by Ty Tabor]

Picture yourself
In the shade of a tree.
Alone in your thoughts
But your held by the breeze.
With sand in your fingers
And dirt in your hands
As you try your best
to understand.
Don't look at you
And don't look at me.
Don't hold on to
What you think sets you free.
Just sit at the end of the road
And begin to be stell.

Where could it be?
Under the tree

You look for a thread
Of what's true in the wind
As it passes and then disappears.
And you're left there standing
To finally face all your fears.

Under the tree... yeah

It might take a minute.
It might fly away.
You might have to come back
On some other day.
But sooner or later
An answer will come
If you stay for a minute and see.
The solitude nightmare
That once made you run
Is off in the distance...
Can't hurt anyone.
And maybe there's something
To learn in the calm of the sea.
