Starflyer 59 - Silver (1994)

Starflyer's first record, Silver isn't its official name, but then again, it doesn't really have one. All the songs have a really heavy, spacey sound, like you're standing near a musical rocket engine. Lyrically, it's really simple, but really effective and kinda sweet sometimes too (like on "Hazel Would"). Jason Martin's breathy vocals might be something of a turnoff, but I like them anyway.


"Blue Collar Love"

She has taken it all
The feel to fend for
Things you're just not
Now, you're turning blue

The time I spent with you

She has taken it all
The feel to fend for
Things you're just not
Now, you're turning blue

The time I spent with you

"Monterey"

Lost on words for you
And I'd better make it soon
In a world for you
And the better one you are

And I'm turning off
To a place that you don't know
And I'm turning off here
To a place

I know

Lost on words for you
And I'd better make it soon
In a world for you
And the better one you are

And I'm turning off
To a place that you don't know
And I'm turning off here
To a place

I know

"Sled"

And she don't care
Not bad
And she don't care
Not her

And your heart
It's not there
And your heart
It's not there

And your heart
It's not there

And she's just
A sled
And he's just
As bad

And your heart
It's not there
And your heart
It's not there

And your heart
It's not there
And your heart
It's not there

And your heart
It's not there

"Hazel Would"

Honestly
I'd rather sleep
But you're holding me
To it all

On the deeper side
I'm just a ride
You're mine, you're mine
You're it all

Craving
To lift you up
And I'm craving
To take the fall

On the deeper side
I'm just a ride
You're mine, you're mine
You're it all

"The Zenith"

And there you go
Under blue skies, she swirls by
And here you go
On the blue side, she's on your side

And hello, hello
She's moving
And there you go
Under blue skies, she swirls by

"2nd Space Song"

Call a friend
Be here unto the end
Eyes so kind
One that you'll never find

His ways
I love your ways
I know your ways
I know your ways
I know your

Born to grace
One that you don't chase
Counts the sands
Jesus in your hands

Always
I love your ways
I love your ways
I love your ways
I love your

"Droned"

When you talk at all
I know it
When you fake it all
I know it

And I'm going to
Your arms
And while he's away
You're here to stay

You're the best thing
Easily
You're the best thing
Easily

You're the best thing
Easily
You're the best thing
Easily

When you talk at all
I know it
When you fake it all
I know it

And I'm going to
Your arms
And while he's away
You're here to stay

You're the best thing
Easily
You're the best thing
Easily

You're the best thing
Easily
You're the best thing
Easily

"Happy Days Are Here Again"

Happy days are here again
And you're not
And when she smiles
It shakes my sickest face

And again, and again
And again
'Cause when she smiles
It shakes my sickest face

"She Only Knows"

Holding hands
By the roadside makes it better
Nothing here
Nothing here can make it sadder

She only knows
The world and that it's better
She only knows
She only knows

"The Dungeon"

You're on the outside
He's in the way
You're on the outside
In my way

My heart is bleeding
For one you hate
But you're always
In my way

In my way

Take your blue news
Take your taste
Take all the good things
That you waste

You know I'm coming
To take the blame
And it's always
The same

The same
