i know where you've been
you give me updates on fleeting whims
i've seen where you go
you send me pictures, you let me know
what you've done and who've seen
where you'll be this halloween
just a couple, a couple more nights
before you get on that [ returning flight ]
[ [ oooo-ooooo-ooo-ooo ] ]
i'm jealous of ukraine
jealous of ukraine
i'm jealous of [ ukraine ]
a long history i'll never understand
soviet solace in a [ tiny tin can ]
two languages i can't speak
and you've been gone for such a [ long ] week
in the country there's a great divide
people with differences they can't set aside
turmoil, politcal unrest, it's true
but the thing is though, [ ukraine has you ]
ukraine has you
[ [ oooo-ooooo-ooo-ooo ] ]
i'm jealous of ukraine
jealous of ukraine
jealous of ukraine
jealous of ukraine
[ i'm jealous of ukraine ]

when you said you were going to quit [ smoking ]
it didn't occur to me you meant you'd dump me too
we're not the same at all
we're not the same at all
i get it
we're not the same at all
we're not the same at all
i get it
[ it doesn't make sense ]
i knew getting in it wasn't gonna last
touching your [ skin ] like tempered shards of glass
sharper than me with a mind that runs too fast
[ all i want now is to catch up to the past ]
all my hopes for us were [ stupid ]
i was ten years older than you for fucks sake
we're not the same at all
we're not the same at all
[ i get it ]
we're not the same at all
we're not the same at all
[ i get it ]
it doesn't make sense
i knew getting in it wasn't gonna last
touching your skin like tempered shards of glass
sharper than me with a mind that [ runs too fast ]

That Ain't Realistic
by The J. Arthur Keenes Band
supported by 7 fans who also own “ukraine / runs too fast”
Dixieland, a little Chet Baker, add a dose of chiptune, and then sprinkle a little bit of twee and you have yourself another classic JAK release. I could listen to this EP all day, such a great piece of work.

Computer Savvy

I was introduced to this album through the tune "Cluck" and my goodness I just love such an 'adventure-sounding' chiptune!
go to album
Romantic songs with a light power pop feel swell with sentiment over big hooks.
