When you're alone do you consider how it would feel if we were together When you're alone do you feel regret or do you forget Are you ever alone or is she always there do you ever wish she'd go somewhere Just for a while so you could be free and if you were would you think of me Love has a way of breaking even Love has a way of catching up Love is a banquet of a never lasting dish in a bottomless cup It's a bottomless cup When I'm alone I sometimes considered terrible ways to maim and dismember Thoughts of the past I always remember though I try to forget Forgetting is painless erasure is clean a lethal injection is a clinical thing But when it's forgotten it never returns leaving no fuel for this heart burns So drink deeply love Open up your heart and let it flow Drink deeply love Drink deeply Love Or baby are you one of those unfortunate few To never feel lucky just to be alive Caught up in a struggle and dying to survive To take help from no one even when you can't go on Go on yeah if that's you you better take it from me Love has a way of breaking even Love has a way of catching up Love is a banquet of a never lasting dish in a bottomless cup It's a bottomless cup

Sometimes I feel like a racehorse running from the whip No idea where I'm going to just gotta get away from this burning in my hip Sometimes I feel like a warden spending all my time in jail Working for the money watching the criminal walk on bail I am so far gone now I am so far gone now I am so far away from me Sometimes I feel like a soldier stepping up in line Steeling myself to kill or die for something that'll never be mine And I don't think I can take it I think I'm gonna die I feel so sad and lonesome looking for a place to cry Sometimes I feel like a junkie Sometimes I feel like a nun Waiting for something or someone to save me forgetting all the while I'm the only one I am so far gone now I am so far gone now Just a couple thousand light years away From me

Since I met you there's been a bit of a change Since I met you I've been a little bit strange My heart breaks open like a pomegranate It's dripping all over and I just can't stand it I'm kind of scared to tell you I think I'm falling in love Since I met you and seen your beautiful face Since I met you the world's a dangerous place I step on the gas and go to a little bit faster When I see a car that looks like yours go past I got to pull over for a while I think I'm falling in love Sometimes it makes me feel so sad I don't think I can stand it any longer and I remember what Nietzsche said What does not kill you only makes you stronger Since I met you I've been incredibly high Since I met you I've been trying not to cry My ears start ringing in my hands start to shake It's way too much for one body to take and I can barely breathe I think I'm falling in love Since I met you

Come A Time 05:05

He hid from the rain in a bookstore that day The rain rolling down from his raincoat He's too sick to run and right next to the gun In his coat is a cheap Beaujolais Come a time to tear the pictures from the wall Catch a fire and watch it burn Come a time to set your dreams aside a while Come a time to come to terms She threw on an old robe over her tattered lingerie She closed all the blinds in the windows She hides just for fun yeah she hides from the sun Then she goes back to sleep for the day You got to know when to give it up give it up give it up sometime You got to stop beating a dead old dog There's gonna come a time Are you gonna be ready Nine years ago in vain I called out your name Out in the cold autumn moonlight You died all alone by the side of the road And I think I heard you're dying cries in the distant wind Come a time to tear the pictures from the wall Catch a fire and watch it burn Come a time to set your dreams aside a while Come a time to come to terms

Outside the club you stand alone counting minutes with cigarettes A painful past is all you call your own it hurts to remember it hurts to forget I saw you walking down the street to the liquor store Same old song you sang before from drink to drink and day to day God ignores you when you pray In heaven everything is fine In heaven everything is fine In heaven everything is fine You can have your good thing and I'll take mine Under the strobe light you're turning blue Death's shadow like a leech just clings to you You played so good but you lived so bad Your bass guitar is all you ever had In heaven everything is fine In heaven everything is fine In heaven everything is fine You can have your good thing and I'll take mine

Come around lovelies and hear me today Don't do as I do now just do as I say If you do what you love then you'll love what you do it won't happen for me it'll happen to you You can be happy in your time You can be happy but not I This is your world It's not mine Come now and come now and bring me some wine Ere the glass is half empty I'll surrender my mind That was once bright and fair filled with promise and grace Now jaundice and madness have taken their place You can be happy in your time You can be happy but not I This is your world It's not mine Oh I'm an angel strangled by this mortal coil Oh I'm an angel oh I can't hang around here anymore Shut the door Keep the devil inside Sail on now dear ones I wish you all well As I bid you adieu from the outskirts of hell May you travel in comfort and triumph and glee As I swing too and fro from a rope in a tree and glee as I swing to and fro from a rope in a tree You can be happy in your time You can be happy but not I This is your world It's not mine

After all the bad things I said and all the bad things I've done All the good that inside me doesn't matter to anyone Half of all that I say is true you just remember the lies It's the lies you remember while the truth rots and dies And I know that there's nothing I can say Oh my love you won't believe me anyway And I know that there's nothing I can do All my lies will never make your dreams come true It's not hard to throw away your love when it's already gone I bet it's easy for you standing there watching me moving on No it won't be hard to find me now babe I'm running but I can't hide I don't know what you're fine here but I'm sure that it's a long and lonely ride And I know that there's nothing I can say Oh my love you won't believe me anyway And I know that there's nothing I can do All my lies will never make your dreams come true

Come on out to San Francisco Come on out into my backyard See the apples and berries and flowers and oranges See how life doesn't really have to be so hard Come on now Come on now Leave your troubles home for the weekend Come on out here and set yourself free Let your hair down in sweet sweet California Come over here you and dance with me Come on now the drought is over Come on now we're singing in the rain Come on now Come on now let me wash away your pain If you can't decide what path for you is right and you're in your darkest night And you don't know where to start listen to your heart The truth will set you free come on home to me Yeah yeah yeah come on now

about

From No Depression magazine, Spring 2001:

On first listen, Glow, the debut solo disc from San Francisco singer-songwriter Jenifer McKitrick, comes across as tough as a Joan Jett growl or a pair of her road-tested leather trousers. But once you spend some time with its eleven songs, you find the center’s softer, more vulnerable, than it first appeared.
Part of that is due to McKitrick’s voice. More suited to a roadhouse than a coffee shop, she projects a mixture of snarl and sass that works well on songs such as “Glow” and “So Far Gone”. That these and other songs have the feel of slightly twanged-out 1970s rock is no coincidence: The album was co-produced by Sandy Pearlman, who cut his teeth a couple decades back working with Blue Oyster Cult, the Dictators, and the Clash (he also produced the Dream Syndicate’s sophomore gem, the hard-rockin’ Medicine Show).
McKitrick was formerly a member of San Francisco country band Swingin’ Doors, which received decent local acclaim but broke up after just one album. Despite those musical roots, on Glow, the honky-tonk approach of her earlier group is gone. You can hear remnants in the rhythms and guitar playing (some by Chuck Prophet), but overall this record’s about rock ‘n’ roll.
Still, not every song is a gear grinder. “Why”, for instance, has a thick tone, but a slower, more introspective pace. By the time we reach the bare-bones piano intro of “Love Is All You Are”, things have quieted considerably. This comes to nearly full fruition on the light and lilting “Angel (Requiem)”, on which McKitrick allows her folksier side to show through; the song adds textural depth to the record.
Ditto for “Come On Now”, the joyfully ragged album closer. When McKitrick sings “Come on out to San Francisco/See how life doesn’t really have to be so hard,” she’s not such a badass after all. Goodness, she actually sounds like a hippie. It’s calling for the return of a lost lover, but the sentiments are real, not soaked beyond recognition in hipster irony. And that’s refreshing. As is much of this album.
