V 1 Could’a been right could’a been wrong Could’a been weak could’a been strong Could’a been false but it sure rang true Now what’s a poor boy like me to do Cause my tears fall like a rain Cause my tears fall like a rain Cause my tears fall like a rain But they don’t bring her back again Ch All my tears I cried so many tears They don’t bring her back They don’t bring her back to me V2 Could’a been good could’a been bad She could’a been happy she could’a been sad And she could be here with me right now Not somewhere else so far away Cause my tears fall like a rain Cause my tears fall like a rain Cause my tears fall like a rain But they don’t bring her back again Ch All my tears I cried so many tears They don’t bring her back They don’t bring her back to me V3 We could’a been this we could’a been that She could’a been anybody but she had to be her I loved her more than I could bear Her voice the scent of her hair Cause my tears fall like a rain Cause my tears fall like a rain Cause my tears fall like a rain But they don’t bring her back again Ch All my tears I cried so many tears They don’t bring her back They don’t bring her back to me V4 Could’a been here could’a been there We went off the track Now all my weeping and wailing It won’t bring her back Cause my tears fall like a rain Cause my tears fall like a rain Cause my tears fall like a rain But they don’t bring her back again Ch All my tears I cried so many tears They don’t bring her back They don’t bring her back to me

The Universe Song 04:02
lyrics
buy track
Why won't the universe take my advice To lighten up and be more nice Give everybody a break or two What would it hurt? Why won't the universe listen to reason Try to be a little more pleasing Tell more stories with happier ending With all the sad bits gone? Why won't the universe have a meeting To discuss how I'm feeling We could have coffee and doughnuts I could draw some graphs. Why won't the universe answer my letters With great ideas for getting better Listing all the things if could do To help us out? Why won't the universe have some pity Make me just a little more pretty Then I would get all the respect I deserve Because I'd look so good? Why won't the universe make me a winner I'd even take it out to dinner I'd let everyone have seconds That they could take home and share. I mean, seriously when you think about it, why can't sleeping in be the best exercise ever, and chocolate should be reverse calories and sex should cure cancer, why not universe' why not? Sun and moon don't seem to care World keeps turning through the air But the universe ain't so big that it can't change its mind.

about

Welcome to Shed, the West Coast’s answer to the eternal question: “What’s cooking?” Shed twists and folds genres and expectations, cranking it up, then moven and groven and then carrying you to a softer place. The lyrics take your brain for a ride while the music is on the dance floor with your body. The combination is always powerful, whether it’s pumped-up surf’n turf (Tiki Gods), enviro-punk gospel (Last Call), big sound r&B (Carry That Load), rock (Screen Life, Pathetic Loner, My Girl, Speed), psychedelic funk (Break ), sea waltz (Blue Sea), soundscape (Sunny Day) , country rock (My Tears, Hold On), unplugged sentiment (Everything, the Universe Song), mini-pop musical (Billable Hours), just for fun (Pick Up Your Toys), or deadly serious (Suicide Death Club).
