Alan Clifford I just love this band. They have an incredible melodic ability, great vocalist and the musicianship is astounding. Coupled with an attention to sonic detail that makes every track a place for a heart stopping moment or two, and lyrics that are straight and true, you can't go wrong with a bit of Brown Shoe.

C.F. 06:03
C.F. Mmm gone mmm ya gone gone I can carry a million pounds on my back But a feather on my chest could break my heart I can carry a million of you on my back I can carry a million of you on my back But I can’t carry the weight of you on my heart I can take the slivers from the house that we build If you can take the shivers from the milk that I spill If I foment about your happiness it is a testament to the fool I am Sss sinner you you call me you sure look like the devil to me I can carry a million of you on my back But can’t carry the weight of you on my heart

Colt Rider 02:33
Colt Rider Cold girl with a fever for it between her legs now Your hands are white as ash as you hold on to it All the young ones with their babies I do wanna fill you up with mine No need for worryin’ just yet now is not the time You’re not fuckin’ Jesus you’re fuckin” me now Don’t feel bad about it while you hold on to it while we sleep
3.
All Your Ghosts Take off your clothes and come dance with me You call yourself crazy you gotta prove it to me All your ghosts can see right through you Just cause you shake that ass don’t mean you’re a whore You’ll never be owned So shake that ass shshake that ass jujust shake that ass for me some more Would ya mind If I put my hands between your thighs I’m easy to love if you haven’t met me before All your ghosts can see right through you Cause you shake that ass don’t mean you’re a whore That’s somethin’ he don’t know And it’s all down hill from here

Diving Bell 05:55
Diving Bell Remember when I took you up to the seaside mountains And I picked you up on my back and carried you to the edge of the bluffs You said your knees were swollen up like little tree trunks It was my heart that was swole carry that on your back up this bumpy road Your patience is more like panic and you’re diving on your own You’re tethered to no place but you keep gettin’ tangled up out in the open cuts Can you hear see the warning bell If I met you a million years from now Would we be planets circling the same snow globe If we would be furniture I’d be your ottoman To your lazy chair to put your feet up on The warning bell
5.
Sick Man 03:55
Sick Man I could be your black man As black as the night would allow Locked up in the garrison of our lovers grip few fortunes could strip Swimming on our boat on an ocean of lust Touching tongues we can’t trust Is it too much to bear Lets go under water where there’s no air I could sing you lullabies if you stop shakin’ in bed If you nurse the needle you thread I’ll keep my tie on if you take your dress off
6.
Late Nights 03:27
Late Nights You got me so tired out from runnin’ you down I’m so tired out from goin’ down I’m so tired out from runnin’ you down I’m so tired out I’m gonna lay down Takin’ planes to kiss those virgin lips Don’t make much sense if you don’t have much sense to speak of If you wanted out couldn’t you just say Liftin’ your skirt over your head Gettin’ your make-up all over my bed Get your hands outta my hair
7.
The Run 05:49
The Run With looks like these this mother fucker is made for the screen Don’t get caught in his glance unless you willin’ to dance with me So twirl your skirt until it hurts my baby please And I’ll shake my knees if that’s what ya please my baby doll Banquet tables and tiered cakes Chinese lanterns that’s what I say I say what’s wrong with you I am made for the run Are you made for the run Well are you Put your dreams on hold we’ll call it a sort of layaway Makin’ payments by the day It seems you are never late I am made for the run We ain’t all made for the run We are made for the run
8.
Pauper 04:23
Pauper I don’t look mean cause I ain’t I look mean cause I am But if you find me in a gutter you best be on your way You could say I saw him once he was not at his best But he sure could have had the best of me There are stories abound of witches and saints Which is almost always the same I’m a pauper to some Some say I’m a wealthy baron on the run But if you find me in an alley You should be the one to run So you fancy a gun I fancy some fun Why don’t we find out who’s got all the luck And it ain’t just cause I drink or that I lost at love Maybe mean is just the way that I’m made up
9.
Criminal Baker If I had a document of every moment and everything you said How would that story have read I might be dying but you sure do look like death You’re an inpatient patient without much use for me Bottle it bottle it up Even though you’re right just bottle it up Wish I was a criminal baker and I could bake you a pie The kind of pie that would steal your insides Wish I was a roll of the dice So that everything was a surprise Wish I was more direct so that my love wasn’t implied Bottle it bottle it up I came here to let go but since we’re here why don’t we give it a go like we’ve done before
10.
Sweet Crazy Baby Come on come on my sweet crazy baby my body so tired so tired from workin’ my body ain’t so tired that it can’t take your lovin’ so come on come on my sweet crazy baby your tears from all your loins achin’ no worryin no more almost home for my lovin’ so come home my sweet crazy baby
