gromley One of the great overlooked rock records ever - Lloyd’s guitar work is quintessential, refined but at the same time raw - Bibi’s songs have a pop slant, but with great depth and edge - her vocals melodic with a welcoming lilt, but powerful enough to stand up to the songs and the band around her…recommend, a lost gem

Caroline’s Waiting music and lyrics copyright Bibi Farber 1998 In her bedroom She runs to pick up the phone It’s just another girlfriend this time What’re you doing? Will you be coming along? They’re going on at midnight Honestly Caroline is flying You put her onto the plane In her kitchen Your tape is playing again 12 songs go round and round and you know the one where you sing that you’re all alone by yourself on Christmas? Caroline stops her tears from falling It’s gonna be winter again Caroline’s waiting she’s been sitting for hours Maybe tonight she’ll try to say hello She knows all your songs and she’s collecting your pictures Planning your birthday and you don’t even know He’s coming Caroline he’s coming… In your bedroom you run to pick up the phone It’s just another girlfriend this time But where’s your baby? She wants to see you again Are you going home? Caroline’s mother’s always saying He’ll come back and see us again Caroline’s waiting she’s been sitting for hours Maybe tonight she’ll try to say hello She knows all your songs and she’s collecting your pictures Planning your birthday and you don’t even know She’s been wanting to tell you She’s already singing Maybe she’ll play you that song It runs in the family But you’re still the genius when the chorus kicks in You’ve got her pledging allegiance to your rock and roll hymns He’s coming Caroline he’s coming

Shine 04:38
Shine music and lyrics by Bibi Farber copyright 1998 I feel most clean when covered in sweat And most alive and most inspired Always want more than I get Trying to light just one more fire But just like you said if it’s over and dead then get up get on But just like you said if it’s over and dead then get up get on With the living My kalidescopes keep burning I’ll stick to candles now instead And all these lessons I’m still learning You stay one step ahead You Shine Shine Shine Doo doo doo doo doo doo Where do you go when you don’t want me to know? You know I wouldn’t dare confine you Where do you stay when you don’t come out and play? You shine so bright I just might find you But just like you said if it’s over and dead then get up get on I like what you said and I look straight ahead I just get up get on with the living You Shine Shine Shine Like flowers pushing up through the sidewalk Like a funny tree at Christmastime Like flashlights underwater

Swallow A Dream words and music copyright Bibi Farber 1998 I'm spending all of my time trying to see the truth between the lies I'm wondering where I can find somewhere to go where I don't have to know all about your medicine threw it out again today gone are your difficulties shoot through the day with composure and ease cosmetically altered personalities it's all done with chemicals they’re calling the miracles go take your medicine you can have a sharper day all I want is to feel what I feel 2016 all I want is what's real to be real don't let me swallow that don't let me swallow that dream reach in and reset your brain this medication isn't just for the pain why fail when you can succeed? it comes in a bottle gives you just what you need why don't you go into the store they've got them all on display all I want is to feel what I feel 2016 all I want is what's real to be real don't let me swallow that don't let me swallow that … I'm wondering when did they decide to cosmetically alter all behavior that falters? strong lean high self-esteem it's right here for sale it's guaranteed not to fail but there's one small side effect: you might begin to think it's true all I want is to feel what I feel 2016 all I want is what's real to be real don't let me swallow that don't let me swallow that dream

Seeds Of Anger words and music copyright Bibi Farber 1998 In the night when your mind to gets so tangled in nasty knots and in webs yes your mind is the kind of afraid of scared of the stuff that you're made of the way it swells into rage weather is warm is a summers breeze turns into hailstorm bitter cold freeze And we bend and pretend that it's gone now then we repeat it again who's to blame please explain how this happened who is that hiding there? there's demons everywhere capture one and five more come to life where are you going? will you be coming down? You’re overflowing you're so disaster bound I see you sowing seeds of anger all around And it's burning such holes and us these little fires from hell burning out the controls in us somehow we’re never spared somehow we never dared stop the train before it ran us down where are you going? will you be coming down? You’re overflowing you're so disaster bound I see you sowing seeds of anger all around

Why does she drag me here all of the time? downstairs I turn the corner now I see don’t want to see Oh look here comes that girl again she’s so down down down knows just how and where to find me somehow she takes up so much room she's all despair and gloom how will I ever get anything done? Get her off of my stage! tell her to get out and go turn the page or lock up her cage I don't know why she can't stay there I don't know why she pretends that she's me downstairs I turn the corner now I see you don't want to see Oh look here comes that girl again she’s so down down down knows just how and where to find me somehow she takes up so much room she's all despair and gloom how will I ever get anything done? look here comes that girl again she so Down down down knows just how and where to find me somehow she never wants to dance she doesn't miss a chance to make sure I never get anything done

Unlocked 03:29
Unlocked words and music copyright Bibi Farber 1998 Hey Mr. sitting there I see you everywhere why are your eyes facing down? sitting there all alone watching the twilight zone tell yourself you're feeling just fine protecting your sanity drowning in vanity tell yourself it's all that you wanted you say that you're strong everything’s where it belongs but late at night I know that you wonder if love found the back door unlocked tell me would you believe it? would you say “go away - you got the wrong place” or would you stand up and greet it? You've paid all your dues and you're convinced that you lose You say that love only brings you straight down watching these years go by don't even want to try what's the sense of getting excited? There’s all of those lies you said you'd never buy again all of those tears you said you'd never cry again to open your heart is something you'd never try again But if love found the back door unlocked tell me would you believe it? would you say “go away - you got the wrong place” or would you stand up and greet it? If love found the back door unlocked? and went through the back door?

One Thing 03:15
One Thing words and music copyright Bibi Farber 1998 It's a good thing I don't know how to reach you There’s this one thing I wish I'd have time to teach you calling and calling and calling around standing up tall while my soul hits the ground starting to lose what I thought we just found and it's one thing the wall came down so easy and another to leave it down and stand here bare games in the sand taught me more in one day I knew all the rules but you taught me to play starting to see that there's more than one way so the search party was out on the beach searching for more of those dreams out of reach All of the lessons I thought I could teach I couldn't teach you anything questions unite us but answers divide our parallel bodies will start to collide holding on steady starting to slide It's a good thing I don't know how to reach you There’s this one thing I wish I'd have time to teach you calling and calling and calling around standing up tall while my soul hits the ground starting to lose what I thought we just found games in the sand taught me more in one day I knew all the rules but you told me to play starting to see that there's more than one way

17 After 3 04:02
17 After 3 17 after 3 in the morning I'm still lying here thinking you're here with me just ignoring cold reality guess you must be ok remember - you never wanted to stay for breakfast anyway 17 after 3 you can stay here till the morning comes keeping me company saying all those things you'd never say play my favorite scene one last dream spellbound by the site spellbound in the night if I fall asleep can I take you with me? 17 after 3 I'd be lying if I said I felt fine about you and me just denying cold reality but darkness brings me sweet dreams where you found me come to drown me spellbound by the site spellbound in the night if I fall asleep can I take you with me?
