In my imaginary life I was your hero and you my blushing bride But my wife she doesn't blush as much And my acts of heroics have all but died

Babyland 03:22
lyrics

Stone by stone and brick by brick All the names pass away on our lips Hell to offer in Babyland Squirrel don't jump from grave to grave Graveman come and dig for pay Hell to offer in Babyland Hell to offer in Babyland Field of bone and crooked towns They hid their faces they turned around Hell to offer in Babyland Hell to offer in Babyland

Slow Chase 03:33
lyrics

Shuffled paper I froze out the clock Stapling down everything for a whole city block And in a moment Outcome unaware My fall from grace came out of nowhere Slow chase this madness Hats off to you Two years in an instant I’m two years behind A cloudy reception paraded outside My indoctrination Was far from over But I'm free all the same Calling contacts for a name change Slow chase this madness Hats off to you Hey Ma Don't let her get upset Hey Ma Don't hear a word I said I'm in love at the filling station Hey Ma Don't let them tip your hand Hey ma You'll never understand I'm in love with the situation Laugh when you’re angry Cry all you might Trade all your glory days for impossible nights Here is the new song It’s not worth anything Full of imagination but nothing to sing Slow chase this madness Hats off to you

Time Spent, Time Served 02:01
lyrics

Time spent Time served Sleeping in a waking world Little gained Much risked Rarely has it come to this You become the light Of new beginnings The sad bus will run all evening Time spent Time served Sleeping in a waking world Let’s rush Headlong Through the length of some old song Let this melody Convince you and me The needy truth must be told Time spent Time served

Freaks of the Family 04:05
lyrics

I’ve got permission to steal the show Picking up steam, rolling up sleeves Here we go! I’ve got permission to steal the show Picking up steam, rolling up sleeves Here we go! You and Me Freaks of the family Your moral compass is broken Yeah I see that it’s bound to explode yeah I've passed admissions, I'm covered in snow Freezing our hands, making our plans as we go! Yes I’ve passed admissions, I'm covered in snow Freezing our hands, making our plans as we go! You and Me Freaks of the family Your moral compass is broken Yeah I see that it’s bound to explode yeah Family of freaks Ne'er do wells What do they expect? When we kiss them on the neck Pastoral scenes become a wreck We're striding hand in hand To the tune of our own band You and Me Freaks of the family Your moral compass is broken And I see that it’s bound to explode yeah We're on a mission We'll go it alone Trying our luck, completely moonstruck on the road! We're on a mission We'll go it alone Trying our luck, completely moonstruck on the road! You and Me Freaks of the family Your moral compass is broken And I see that it’s bound to explode yeah

Not Tonight, Josephine 05:09
lyrics
buy track
Half an hour later, you're still in that room Can't you see I've got a lot to do? I can see you through the keyhole baby, making your next move Every face on the fire escape comes down to you Every face c'mon, c'mon comes down to you But not tonight, Josephine Not tonight Well you can read a passage out of your good book baby Incidentally there's nowhere to hide You have a fine life, could you get it right? It's no wonder by the shoulder and there's no gas in the tank Passenger sighs easy on the way back from the bank Sail sadly backwards through the kite trails of your mind You were holding steady to me tethered to the line And I guess we always thought we had more time But not tonight, Josephine Not tonight Well you can read a passage out of your good book baby Incidentally there's nowhere to hide You have a fine life, could you get it right? Sally found out the hard way She had about enough to take Quick inspection of the highway It had to be the brakes And it feels like going home And it feels like going home Suzy ran the numbers clearly There had to be a big mistake Climbing to the rooftop You know she had a lot at stake And it feels like going home And it feels like going home But not tonight, Josephine Not tonight, Josephine Not tonight Well you can read a passage out of your good book baby Incidentally there's nowhere to hide You have a fine life, could you get it right?

Bad Days 01:50
lyrics
buy track
We're winding down through forests of trees To measure the scope of our calamities Save the pressure for the drive home And you loved your wife gradually But honey I'm still a honeybee Slipping slowly From the way home And he's loved before but he wants to know Can he subscribe to what you've got in store? He may be on to something And I'm gonna claw and I'm gonna bite And I'm gonna slam my fists all right Bad days

South 02:53
lyrics

If this is where we stand I don't want to know otherwise I loved you best I can't speak for all the other guys I'm gonna take it from you And take it all apart If it kills me I'll be your cocaine It took me years Now I don't think there's a need to explain Don't start running away because of what you're thinking Outside your apartment The scars in the pavement That's where our story went south I'm only keeping the peace I can only hold out so long Languid in love cost me a place where we could belong You sweet unspeakable you You tear me all apart If it kills me I'll be your cocaine It took me years Now I don't think there's a need to explain Convince this angel in me To cure his awful heart Outside your apartment The scars in the pavement That's where our story went south

about

Jason Moody image

Jason Moody Chicago, Illinois

"Local musician Jason Moody has been riding the periphery of the Chicago indie scene for years, and I think he deserves a lot more attention than he gets. He's a songwriter who crafts well-structured pop songs, which makes them ripe for covering (check out Daniel Knox's cover of "Halcyon Days"). Moody has a way with melody and hooks. He's also got a lovely voice."
