Have you ever had a best friend? A real best friend? Someone that would always have your best interests and love you forever? And did that best friend ever try to push you out of a project like a pirate off a plank? And did you still love that best friend with all the love in your body? Was your best friend your best best friend? Is that why John killed Paul?

Sun on Roses 03:24
Okay, Jason, play slow like sun on roses and then the clouds come in and the rain falls two people go walking by one of them bites the other and there is blood on the sidewalk the little crickets come to eat the blood and it's so good for them and gives them strength and nourishment and it sanctifies them too above them the mountains stand tall and proud they help the wind blow the roofs off the little houses so all the little children can see the stars as the twinkle twinkle twinkle twinkle and shine their light on the alley cat who's lapping up the blood of the big fat rat who was smashed by crazy george and his dump truck and the blood got splattered all over the sunny roses you remember them? that's right there they are

Laugh Track 02:45
[Jason]: Hey, Tucker [Tucker]: Hey, J. what's up? [Jason]: Oh not much I've just been feeling so blue today. I don't know what to do I feel so blue. [Tucker]: So blue? Don't know what to do? Well, what's the matter? [Jason]: idk Tucker you ever have those days where you wake up and you feel down? You slept good, you took your vitamins, you called your grandma but you still feel down? [Tucker]: Ohh, yeah I've had those kind of days before but usually it's because I got a bee sting! But have you tried any remedies to make you feel better? [Jason]: No, I guess I haven't. What do you suggest? [Tucker]: Well sometimes when I feel real blue and down, what I like to do very most is, look up into the sky and hold out my arms and breathe deep and let the clouds go down into my belly and then I let those clouds out with a big burst of laughter. You wanna try it with me? Here Jason, take my hand and let's laugh together! [Jason]: I'll try anything, I guess *Tucker and Jason laugh together endlessly [Tucker]: How'd that feel J you feel any better today? [Jason]: I feel amazing! It's always summertime in Tucker's room! [Tucker]: That's right!

Hey there, little fishies, I'm so happy to see you swimming around in th ebig tank on my dresser. Hey you've never looked better swimming around every morning I wake up and get so happy to feed you just a little pinch of fish flakes. Little fishies I love you so darn much, little fishies, I'll never ever give you up. Little fishies, little fishies, little fishies. I want to thank you, little fishies. I just gotta tell you how much I really care about you and how much I wanna thank each and every one of you for flapping those fins and wagging those tails and swimming all around so peacefully. I thought I was lost but it turned out I was found when I found you swimming around there at the pet store and I thought my God you fish are what I've wished for for so long, little fishies, and I finally got you here in front of my face so I can look at you swimming around being so happy be so lovely be so at one with nature. I got mother nature here in my room with these fishies. They make me so happy little fishies. Little fishies, little fishies, little fishies, I love you. Little fishies, little fishies, little fishies swimming around in my room.

That's when I first saw the man with the piercing eyes The man with the piercing eyes wouldn't stop staring thru the windshield He stared into our eyes and later into our souls He didn't move a muscle at the intersection and met me in a dream later that night In the dream, I was small like a child and he was big like a lion with blood in his mouth I could not move, I could not get out of the gaze of the man piercing eyes An eternity went by there in his eyes I knew that I was going to die by the man with the piercing eyes. the man with the piercing eyes he hears no cries, but life and death are seen in the man with the piercing eyes eyes.

I hang my head in shame at the sins of last night but I know if I bow my head the lord can make it right though my soul's been soiled and sullied in his perfect eyes He'll grant me forgiveness on account of the blood of christ the blood of christ the blood of christ I bathed in the blood of christ the blood of christ is my redemption saving me from the devils temptation for all the times I stole the cookie and blamed it on my friends for all the nights I stayed up late when I should have been getting my rest christ blood spills out of his wounds and washes against my chest. the blood of christ the blood of christ I bathed in the blood of christ the blood of christ is my redemption saving me from the devils temptation

I know my papa's out there somewhere. Way, way up above the clouds, behind the moon. You know how I know? Cos I can feel it my heart. My heart gets really full. It gets really full like it does when it's full of Jesus. That's how I know my papa's out there somehwere I know my papas out there somewhere way above the firmament and tho he's worlds away my hearts filled up with jesus so gods still with me all the way and even tho I can't be there with him way above the firmament No I'll have to wait till my dying day till I can hear my papa say you're home and you did good. and if the devil should deceive me I kno that he will leave me All I gotta do is kneel and pray cos god he always hears me and chases the devil away. that's how I know my papas out there way above the firmament and tho he's worlds away I can hear him when he say son, fill yer heart up with jesus and I'll be with you all the way.

A friend is a helper and a helper is a friend when you got an empty glass a friend will fill it up again even when your chips are low a friend will buy you in and when I hit that 21 and the money starts rolling in wouldn't mean a goddamn thing if I couldn't share it with a friend cos a friend is a helper and a helper is a friend had friends both bad n good seen they're ups and downs some friends turn their backs on me and run me out of town some friends laugh by your side others laugh at you some friends will give you the boot and others will help you move a friend will love you forever, even after you're dead they'll tell tales of you and of the life you led keeping your memory alive so no one will forget and when we both meet the lord the fun will start again cos a friend is a helper and a helper is a friend

The Queen was plucking daisies for the bouquet She was making for the King The King was off in battle fighting Evil That was coming for the Queen The Queen was sleeping soundly when she heard her little piggies start to scream The King was stabbed in battle bleeding badly having dreams about the Queen The Evil was growing stronger getting thicker like a big black cloud The Dragon weaved a mist to heal the King and kill the Evil coming The Queen was plucking daisies for the bouquet she was making for the King The King had finished battle fighting Evil pushing daisies for the Queen Cry, baby, cry make your mother sigh she’s old enough to know better so cry, baby, cry

I'm feeling sleepy now. I'll turn the TV down. A midnight snack now. Head in the fridge now. I'll get the milk. Cookies and cream now. Put on my nightgown. Blow the candles out. I'm in the dark now. Kneel for prayers now. Pull my covers down. I'm climbing in now. Flat on my back now. Counting sheep now. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve. Thirteen. I'm Dreaming now. I'm walking up now. My eyes are open wide. But full of sand. I'll rub em out. Pull the curtains down, let the dark. I'm waking up. Time to greet the day. Chase the night away. Every morning. Doing everything to get myself ready for the day. Making some coffee. Brushing my teeth. Putting out the cream for the kitty. Oh what fun to start the day and then go take a walk in the city.

about

At first I just watched others rock. It felt like a crazy dream to think I ever could. As a kid I grew up going to Black Cum, the Pentagraham Crackers, Tiffany Boulanger and Sam Burton shows. I wanted to be like them. Paul gave that to me. We opened this box together and things kept jumping out at us. It was a strange time and it felt like maybe time was running out. Paul would take off in one direction and I'd go chasing after him. Sometimes I'd just start hollerin at something out there in the dark and Paul would start hollerin too. It was like we were playing a game out there in the middle of nowhere and the only thing we had to lose was ourselves.

Two years later we're finally ready to give our dream to you. Picking up the tradition where Lennon and McCartney left off, with our first album, Anthology I

-John
