Right now I'm young, and in love, not knowing where I'm going. But I have a license, and I know that, when we're silent, I think about the day when, all the kids will call me... Grandpa, school bus driver. I dream one day, I'll be driving a big bus in the mornings, and at 3 PM. Drive the kids home, I'll be old and I'll have a beard. Hopefully I won't be weird. I hope all the kids cry when I die. Grandpa, school bus driver. I hope the kids call me, Grandpa, School bus driver. Drivin' around. Right now, I'm in love with you, but will it all be through? One day, when my foot's on the gas, of a big yellow bus. I hope I won't fuss over you, When all the mother's kiss their children goodbye. Grandpa, school bus driver.

Cousin 01:35
My friend had sex with a pregnant lady, He said it went pretty well. My friend said he never hesitated, My friend has sex pretty well. I have a cousin who's vegetative, She can't move very well. Her mother would keep her debilitated, Keep her from being herself.

Kroka 04:06
Over the hilltops and through the trees, Searching for nuts and berries and leaves. Oh my lord, I'll be so lonely without you. Oh my lord, How will I get through without you. I didn't know what it meant to be free. I didn't know what was missing from me. I didn't know what the future would be. Love, hugs, and kisses are all that I need. You'll climb up mountains and you'll ski down the slopes, You'll grow so much as you're learning the ropes. Oh my lord, I'll be so lonely without you. Oh my lord, How will I get through without you. Out in the fields you'll be seeing the stars, Here in the city there's roads and cars. Oh my lord, I'm so excited about you. Oh my lord, I'll be here thinking about you.

Just had a dream that I was in the car with a beautiful girl, Telling her really funny jokes and making her laugh. It was great! Oh what a day. I'd live in the fields and graze, On the snow capped mountaintops. We can break into people's houses, And make food in their kitchens. We can go across the country, Stealing food for a living. No milk, no meat, no eggs, We only need our legs, Our love is strong enough. I'm living my life with the girl of my dreams, She's individual and knows what she means. Unlike me, I only know one thing. Can you guess what it is? We can break into people's houses, And make food in their kitchens. We can go across the country, Stealing food for a living. No milk, no meat, no eggs, We only need our legs, Our love is strong enough.

Too Slow 03:12
Please would you tuck me in a little bit? I love you like a mother, Like a child throwing fits. Take a taste of my pain, Can you handle it? No no no, I'm too slow for you... Bit by bit I'm a brick in your wall, And your iron will stands ten feet tall. But I'm an idiot I can't understand me. no no no, I'm too slow for you... What do you want from me? What do I want from you? Is this just meant to be? Like playing the lottery. No no no, I'm too slow for you...

Otherside 01:56
I will reach you on the other side, And I will see you on the other side, The other side I miss. And I can miss your loving kisses, And I can feel your touch. I know that I love you babe, And I miss you so much. But I know that this is meant to be. For we must grow apart, To share our hearts, With everyone. With each other again. And this will never end. No. And I will be right by the phone. Phone. And I will be right by your side, In my loving home.

Time Bomb 01:58
Time bomb! Ticking down the days until I explode! Drying out the rain in mushroom cloud brain! Think I'll go insane until the day I, Figure out this thang! I'm a time bomb! A freaky little man with a countdown! Listen to me sing... La la la la la yeah! Time bomb! Think I'm doing the right thing until I do wrong! Do the best you can with what you're given! And you can enter the pearly gates of Heaven! Just remember that you'll die die die. Yeah! die die die die. And you'll be so high! high high high high. On the relief.

Fire Escape 03:01
Know I need a place with a fire escape, So I can get away, And know that I am safe when danger comes its way. I know that you are nervous, I can feel it too, As long as we're together babe, We can make it through. Oh you make me feel so tough. I know I will burn, In my room, Where I lay, At night, Can't get out, Of this place. I'm always, On this bus alone, Feeling lonely, Feeling strange. I miss you, I need you, I need to kiss you, Feel your face! Know I need a place with a fire escape, So I can get away, And know that I am safe when danger comes its way. I know that you are nervous, I can feel it too, As long as we're together babe, We can make it through. Oh you make me feel so tough. I love you.

about

Ethan Green is a songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who has been based in Brooklyn for the past five years. This album is comprised of eight songs chosen from a catalog of previously released music to encapsulate the past five years of songwriting and live performance.

Captured live and on to cassette in their bedroom in Red Hook, the guitar and vocals have been panned right and left to encourage a more intimate feeling and to distinguish the two different melodic parts of the song.

Thanks for listening and hope you enjoy!
