lyrics

OUTWITTED
Words & Music - Joel Boyea

I've been thinking about what dignity means
He says love's not enough--it's about biology
His reasons so small--without theology

Of all the words, the best I've read was something Edwin Markham said:
“We drew a circle that shut me out, a heretic, a rebel, a thing to flout
But love and I had the wit to win
We drew a circle and let him in”

Your family is here. The one you don't recognize
Would it be OK if she was a child bride?
What matters to you is what our genes say
You won't let us inside if you know that we're gay

Of all the words, the best I've read was something Edwin Markham said:
“We drew a circle that shut me out, a heretic, a rebel, a thing to flout
But love and I had the wit to win
We drew a circle and let him in”

Upon further reflection, I hope you'll realize the connection is more than blood
Our liberty to marry, Tom or Sue or Terry isn't sent from above

We drew a circle. We let him in

If It Feels Good Do It - A Sloan Tribute
by Futureman Records

supported by 6 fans who also own “Outwitted”

For me and my crusty, ringing ears, the tribute album lost it's charm long ago. But once in a while, there's still one that hits it outta the park. When the subject is as great as SLOAN, it's a can't lose proposition. I've never heard the majority of the acts here (tho I'm a big fan of Fireking), but damned if I hear a duff track on this set. If you're already a fan of the Halifax Heroes don't think twice, nab this 31 track monster! Another winner from Futureman. Robbiecube
