Start your engines, start your boats
Feel the movement, make the most
It’s never that easy, it’s never that easy, it’s never that easy,
Start your engines…
Call your mother, call a friend
You may need them, make amends
It’s never that easy, it’s never that easy, it’s never that easy,
Call your mother…
Pack your suitcase, pack it all
Pack your memories, see them crawl
It’s never that easy, it’s never that easy, it’s never that easy,
Pack your memories…

Pastoral

Tom Wait’s music was perfect for the road
We fought the way there but we were happy on the way back home
The scenery was moving, the scenery was moving, the scenery was moving…
The frost comes early in the mountains and it turns the trees
Into reds and yellows and purples and scattered greens
The houses were cookies, the houses were cookies, the houses were cookies…
And assorted sweets…
Oooh…

The Mouse

Once I had a mouse in my apartment,
And now every time I hear movement,
Out of the corner of my eye… I think I see a mouse.
I ain’t young and I ain’t foolish
I know what I see and how to prove it
And from the corner of my eye… I think I saw you wink.
Once I had a man and he was pretty,
And he gave me love and he gave me pity,
But from the corner of my eye… I knew that it would die.
Everyone who comes and goes,
Shows us what we didn’t know.
But this time is not like those,
I’m happy that it’s you I chose.
Ooh
I ain’t young and I ain’t weak
So baby won’t you stay with me.
Out of the corner of my eye… I see you kissing my cheek.
Listen what I have to say,
We only have so many days.
So, from the corner of your eye… decide if you wanna stay.
Everyone who comes and goes,
Shows us what we didn’t know.
But this time is not like those,
I’m happy that it’s you I chose.
Ooh

Bumper Cars

Daddy, will you steer me, down the line.
The neighbor’s cheering, as I’m riding by
Getting steady, by and by,
Hold on ready, one more try…
Somehow I took off, in between
The gas station and the Dairy Queen
Maybe you can hear me, calling in the dark
Are you anywhere near me, in this crowded amusement park?
Cotton candy, sticky stands
Empty tummy, empty hands
Somehow we got lost, in between
The bumper cars and the trampolines
Somehow we got lost, in between
You wanted bumper cars
I wanted trampolines

Anna

Anna and I got sick
And we’ve been in bed for weeks
It’s taken us a bit by surprise
Anna and I got sick
And we’re sweating through the sheets
We’re spending the whole day inside
We’ve let everyone know
We’ve cancelled our shows
We’re waiting to feel like ourselves
Doo doo…
Anna and I are rich
And we’ve known it now for weeks
We just don’t want to spend it all at once
Anna and I got rich
On one of those lucky streaks
We’re filling up our cheeks
We have, everything we need
As long as we take our time
We’ll have enough…
Doo doo…

I'm On Fire (cover)

Hey little boy where’d your mama go
Did she go and leave you all alone
Oh, I’ve got a big desire
Oh oh oh I’m on fire
Tell me now baby is she good to you
And can she do to you the things that I do
Oh oh, I can take you higher
Oh, oh oh, I’m on fire
Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife,
Baby edgy and dull
And cut a six inch valley in the middle of my soul
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you, can cool my desire,
Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire
Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire
Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire
Oooh…
Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife,
Baby edgy and dull
And cut a six inch valley in the middle of my soul
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you, can cool my desire,
Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire
Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire
Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire

I miss Berlin
I miss my friends
I want to be there, be there aga- a- a- a- a- a- ain
Yes it would be, success for me,
if I could be in two places at once.
I’d be in your house, I’d be in your yard
I’d be in your head, I’d be in your heart
Wait I’m getting carried away…
I miss Berlin
I miss Kottbusser Tor
I want to be there,
Be there much mo– o– o– o– o– o– ore
Yes it would be, success for me,
if I could be in two places at once.
I’d be in your heart, I’d be in your head,
I’d be in your arms, I’d be in your bed,
Wait, I’m getting carried away…
I miss Berlin
I like the TV Tower
I want to be there,
Be there right no– o– o– o– o– o– ow
Yes it would be, success for me,
if I could be in two places at once.
I want to be
In two places, at once!
Shua!

Katie Mullins Brooklyn, New York
On Katie Mullins’ third release, Three Songs, the magic of threes is in full effect: a brew of her signature haunting vocals taken to another level, with glowing overdubbed choruses that seem to weave witchery, and the charisma of unassuming candor.
Katie Mullins recommends:
Diane's music is like salve on my soul. Her performances lower my blood pressure and leave me feeling renewed. I am so grateful for her sounds.
go to album
Sibylle Biaer's music combines the candle-lit winter gemutlichkeit (coziness) I knew from living in Berlin in the early 2000's, with a longing and wistfulness of some other world.

Treading Water EP
by Nona Invie
