Somebody’s Talking Somebody’s talking when I talk, shut up Somebody’s walking where I walk, that strut Somebody’s scaring away all the people I love Somebody’s saying it’s okay Cam, get up Here’s a love that heals the anger Everything I made was dangerous Here’s a love that feels like anger All the things I made weren’t strange enough Somebody’s talking when I talk, shut up Somebody’s waking where I wake, get up Somebody’s telling the world is wrong my mind at night Somebody’s gonna be okay, alright Here’s a love that heals the anger Everything I made was dangerous Here’s a love that feels like anger All the things I made weren’t strange enough And I know I’m never gonna make it right And I know I’m never gonna make it real love Somebody’s talking when I talk, shut up Somebody’s walking where I walk, that strut Somebody’s telling me how much a mind can stand Somebody must be the same rumor I am Here’s a love that heals the anger Everything I made was dangerous Here’s a love that feels like anger All the things I made weren’t strange enough And I know I’m never gonna make it right And I know I’m never gonna make it real love   Words & Music © Cameron McGill 2022 Published by Nervous Breakdown Ditties (BMI) ℗ Post-Important 2022

Attention 05:19
Attention I don’t wanna pay attention to the news anymore Even though I’m versatile and resistant I don’t wanna pay attention to the lies anymore The world over’s a History Channel war I don’t wanna pay attention to the money anymore If businesses are people, what am I for? I need to find the stairs and climb in the door Through my solitude to sanity and more I don’t wanna fall asleep or sleep anymore My dreams are graveyards of sharp shadows I don’t wanna like anything anymore Your need making shame of my desires I don’t wanna be a citizen anymore Where my eyes become dry media I don’t wanna be a citizen anymore Where my eyes become dry media Now I know that it’s true that I never loved you   Words & Music © Cameron McGill 2022 Published by Nervous Breakdown Ditties (BMI) ℗ Post-Important 2022

The Mirror 03:53
The Mirror Oh no no I’m underhanded In my old age start drinking brandy What I have to do I have to do, couldn’t be clearer And if you know me still, you know I couldn’t kill The mirror Hey, I’ve been working so late at the door of a bar Listening to Robyn and watching you dance What you have to do you have to do, couldn’t be clearer And if you love me still, I’ll know you couldn’t kill The mirror Oh the mirror Hell ya know I’ll live a thousand lives anyway Help me kill the first person in everything I say There’s a love inside my empire of fear I’m timing myself, I’m timing myself in the mirror Now I’m acid free, I put the heart down (What’s this thing doing here?) My hundred-page sketchbook weighs sixty-five pounds When I call to you I call to you, my voice is so weird And if you answer still, I’ll know we couldn’t kill The mirror Oh the mirror Words & Music © Cameron McGill 2022 Published by Nervous Breakdown Ditties (BMI) ℗ Post-Important 2022

Horse Race 05:14
Horse Race My lover is a horse race I’m betting six-to-one On the rider who won’t place I know she’s the one My lover is a sunny day My lover is a coal mine The canaries of your heart Fly right next to mine And when I see your face I think I know you and all In the middle of the day I think I love you and oh My heart is full of weeds oh no My heart is full of beer oh no My heart is full of all the wrong girls All the wrong fears Darling if I let you, could you take it from here Take it or take it from here My very own memories are junk In my dreams I’m fun and carefree In real life I’m a scarecrow American man The murder’s coming for me And when I see your face Don’t think I know you at all In the middle of the day I think I love you and oh My heart is full of weeds oh no My heart is full of beer oh no My heart is full of all the wrong girls All the wrong fears Darling if I let you, could you take it from here Take it or take it from here I’m on your side Both your hands both your coasts Holy mother holy ghost Hallelujah shot right through ya I don’t ever wanna lose ya Take it or take it from here   Words & Music © Cameron McGill 2022 Published by Nervous Breakdown Ditties (BMI) ℗ Post-Important 2022
