Young Summer 03:07
YOUNG SUMMER in the sunjewelled heaven of a young summer, i suffered just to be near her who i couldn’t have who i couldn’t hold, and told her something so stupid like how she was like every mountain stream i’d never seen, like every emerald mossy ravine i’d missed, like every strange mountain berry my lips never kissed. so i tried hard to be just as cool as her, and no one got the best of me, cause she didn’t want my heart, just sometimes the other part, so i wore a leather jacket, with nothin under, and beatleboots with no socks, and hearts i plundered upon my brow like a crown of pride and i knew that my body would never die. she turned me into a tourist in my town, she made me jealous for all those days i wasn’t around the kootenays, up and down 17th, where her little brown feet must have been walkin. my heart went into the woods. i forgot all the little hopes i had nursed. in the forest i heard the tune of wolves calling out the name of the moon. i sent my heart into the woods and forgot all the little hopes i had nursed. in the forest i heard the immortal tune of wolves calling out the name of the moon. i sang to myself crimson & clover when you don’t care, your cup runneth over. my crimson heart sleeps in the clover, it’ll forever be young summer.

Mosel 03:00
MOSEL i hitch-hiked all the way from victoria b.c., to calgary with just my dog mosel by my side thru a wood near oyama and mosel found the way, she led me around to the beach at jade bay. another time another beauty and me hiked the rhine, and drank erdbered wine by the mouth of the mosel. hazelnuts hung on branches and vines climbed the hills. we toasted to luxembourg’s buck-toothed girl, “if there’s something you’d like to try, if there’s something you’d like to try, ask me i won’t say no, how could i”, and if there’s something you’d like to try, there’s one thing i’ll never prove. thru valleys and hearts i wanna move. things flow thru me just like a river, is there any doubt that we are all kin of rivers. the bow, the fish, the swift, the nose, and mosel. the vine-root threads the bones of buried lovers.

Modern Lovin 02:17
MODERN LOVIN now that i’ve twisted my ankle amidst the follies of spring, i don’t worry about runnin, love is an easy thing. and i love bein easy pickins, for the predators of lovin, i give my flesh to the teeth of them, cause i can’t stand up again, c’mon! kait says she’s movin to london, where the pants are tight, oh she can’t get no modern lovin, in the post-modern night. but it can be quite complicated, lovin in the modern fashion. when you’re a brown-eyed ice-cream sundae tryin to surf the rings of saturn, c’mon!

Nothin Else 02:25
NOTHIN ELSE now that i’m thinkin of somethin i can’t think of nothin else it’s so fuckin stupid how salvation seems to hinge on nothin else and more and more i’m thinkin about it i think it’s hazard lights for my health, now that i’m thinkin of some- thing i can’t think of nothin else. i could always see the forest for the trees, till i found you and now i’ve finally found ya i cannot find another view, and now i’m thinkin of ya my heart is open, my eyes are broken. now that i’ve really seen ya, i can’t see nothin else. i used to love to taste still cool forest pools reflecting stars above and just the smell of the summer night could make me fall in love, but now my only care is to taste your petal lips and smell your sweet brown hair. now that i know you’re near i don’t care about anything else. when i saw you, swimmin in the water when i saw you swimmin. when i heard you, singin in the summer night i knew i could love you. when i held you in my arms, i thought it was a dream i was dreamin. now i think i’m in love, i can’t think of anything else to think of.

Green Moon 04:18
GREEN MOON the summer is under the heavens abover her, in deep pools and shallows, on hilltops and the hollows. green moon, lune vert. i met her in the mountains, when i was still a young man. oh she was just a kid then, and we never drank from the fountain. then one day i cut my hair, and she was no longer there. and i searched far, and i searched wide, but only loneliness walked by my side. i sit now, by a mountain creek, and a tear rolls down my old cheek maybe we’ll meet again, somewhere in outer space, but she’ll never wear the same face. and i miss her, in my body, my spine points to that valley oh i never knew, now i’ll never know that face she wore in the shadows.
6.
Sweet Tooth 03:59
SWEET TOOTH i can move across the room as easy as pie, but i don’t, i wonder why? is my hunger sated, oh i hope it’s not it’s all i got, all i got, all i got. a sweet-tooth’s the sweetest part i got, my heart’s a cavity, it’s easy to see that kissing, is just like biting. we just just want to eat each other, that’s my only forte and my oevre. a sweet-tooth’s the sweet- est part i got, my heart’s a cavity. we can say what we want to, and we can read what we want to, and you can believe what you want to, but it’s your gut that rules you.

MEDICINE GIRLS & BOYS she walked in an ancient land, with a sickle moon pointed at by her left hand. he walked in a future land, with a sickle moon pointed at by his right hand. her lips kissed the berries of the meadow where he’d be born a thousand summers later, on a far distant morn. medicine, medicine boys, medicine girls, together.

Cascade 03:08

But i fancy the fancy, you fetishize fact and you think you know what’s goin on, do you? we knew once where we were, we got lost in the words, now we can’t be sure. but i fancy the fancy, you fetishize fact and you think you know what’s goin on do you?

about

Pine Tarts Calgary, Alberta

Pine Tarts make noisy garage-pop. Shoegaze? Stargaze? They crash heedless through the bush and show up at Pizza Bob's with bleeding palms. They are sometimes found brooding, pupils wide as saucers, in a corner of the Ship & Anchor, speaking in tongues. People do double-takes when they see what Pine Tarts are wearing. They have been spotted on midsummers eve on Banff Avenue with an elk skeleton ... more
