The Tin Man 02:17
She walks right through the door I can see right, I can see right through her. Is she gonna live? Don’t start, don’t start. It’s the way it makes me feel that makes me whole. Does it still beat? Yes it’s beating, but it’s cold now it’s cold. It’s the way that breaking heartsMakes me feel when the bleeding starts, I want a heart too.
2.
I don’t want that kind of girl Seen her face ‘round me before Broke my heart and out poured oil I don’t want that kind of goil. Ella esta terrible, and she’s having a field day She left me hanging all on my own And she dances fantastic, with legs like elastic And eyes like a dark hood I just think that you dance good. In my mind estupido, I must fight my libido please don’t let me end up all on my own. I once danced but I’m alone now Had my chance, but lost it somewhere Long the lines, it’s time to lay down.
3.
Face first in gloves, I got some cancer for your love. But you can only die twice, it’s that second time that Makes the first time seem so nice. As far as I can tell, my angel, she fell, Her wings are sticking through her dress And I don’t want to look, but I must, she mistook me For one who could be save, I guess. And I know what they say, we look the same in the dark, Yeah I know what they’ll say, I walked in Ashbury Park Saw my troubles in the hearts of men. Hate’s a girl with pretty eyes, but I’m just not the type. Truthfully I believe that anyone who dies kills themself. And I fell from great heights, and saw a lot, However fast it passed. And I don’t really like the way that I’ve become, But I can’t stop it now, when the madness comes I’ll get out.

Jesus' Choir 04:55
I need you, I need you now I‘m in a fix, now I’m in a fix and, I’m gonna run, to the hills and on, ‘Til my heels are gone, but I’m already gone. Uncanny timing, light your girl on fire, ‘Cause you know she’s lying, and you can’t stand a liar But you got a friend in Jesus’ Choir. You got your diamonds and you‘ve got your silver shawls You got your sisters in the college studying occidental law And the abbotts in the alleys and the kids in abel hall You got your misrepresentation spreading lies cross the nation Again, in Jesus’ Choir.
5.
Anita 05:01
Anita, it’s time for me to go Anita, it’s time for me to go “Anita, do you recall how I loved you then?” “You never loved me at all.” “No.” “You know I did.” I need a basement for my thoughts I need a convent on my block, I need wounds bound My lady, and if you must know, I’m going home, I’m going home, I’m going. Oh, and where have you been, when I need friends? Now I need someplace to hang my head. I need someplace to hang. I need someplace to hang.
6.
She wakes up, with her hair down Her heart’s infected. Her makeup’s the least of Her worries now. Her heart’s infected, but she’s already gone. “It’s worse when you’re young, it’s worse when you’re young You can’t talk the words, they block your tongue” “It’s worse when you’re young, it’s worse when you’re young You can’t talk the words, they block your tongue” She don’t mean what she say, she’s only got one day to make it right. And I don’t make the rules, but I’ve seen his face late at night. That’s right. “Chorus” so I’m sorry you’re dead, The sweetest face on your head And everyone I know misses your lies. We traded rings and luck things, I wish I had mine now, A lot of good my kisses did your dead mouth. Goodbyes are final now she swore. So goodbye, goodbye, Goodbye to all the things you love.

Brooklyn 03:24
It’s a song I wrote for no one And no one’s’s gonna hear, ‘cause I’d sooner die than sing it There ain’t nobody here. Followed her from Brooklyn, from Brooklyn’s where she ran, Breaking hearts, stealing cars, and smoking cigarettes. Well she’s pretty and she’s skinny and she hasn’t got a clue That I’d be staring at her coffee as the cup begins to cool. Seen her on the subway, first time I ever did so I Followed her down the street to her apartment And I sat there until morning, just a staring at the door. The air is cool but visions of her hair will keep me warm. When she left I snuck across and stuck a note inside her box It read, “My dear, you are so lovely, and I’d really love to talk.” When she got home, then she read and said, “My god, what do you mean?” I don’t know, I just go where my heart leads me. Where my heart leads me. Well I should have known something when she called the police, And I should have known something when she asked me to leave But a man just can’t give up on a girl he wants to keep. Where my heart leads me. Where my heart leads me. Yahoo

What’s it like, when you die? Do you live on in memories? If you can, I want to try, I didn’t get nothing done in this life. I need to try. I need to try. It was right from the start, you get a knife in your heart. You want a wife and a car, you want the right to go to war. The jealous guy gives you the nod. Did you disappoint your god? Sorry I couldn’t be there when you needed me. I barely can hold the pen through the flames that I’m seated in. I wait, but waiting don’t kill the pain. I was dying for a piece of it was crying for release then it was gone, But I can’t die, but I was crying for release But it was dying for a piece and now it’s gone. It’s so easy, It’s so easy to give in.
9.
You weren’t a winner ‘til you lost me You weren’t a winner ‘til you lost me Got your eyes all cleaned out girl you’re a winner now. You wanted dinner but I can’t pay You wanted dinner but I can’t pay There’s roses in your world, you’re a pretty girl. She’s a sinner but that’s ok She’s a sinner but that’s ok My sister’s a sinner, I love her anyway. I want a girl I can throw away I want someone I can leave today I want dinner on the plate I want a representative in the state to pray for me every day.
10.
I don’t know what to do And I can’t talk to you And I don’t know what you mean When you say the pain you feel. Is it real, am I mean, am I trying to break your will? It’s the challenge of the century, When I know that you were meant for me. I let you go. No one was supposed to know. They found out and moved right in And I don’t approve again. I don’t know what to do And I can’t talk to you And I don’t know what you mean When you say the pain you feel. Is it real, am I mean, am I trying to break your will? It’s the challenge of the century, When I know

got my face on upside down smiling don’t know what my lips is about, i don’t go outside, i stay in, i don’t want to see you, don’t want to see you with him. i don’t go outside, i stay in i can’t believe the kinds of sins, people doing, up down my street, i want to go out i want to meet with them. i want to meet them. i got the kind of life i want to share with you, but you don’t like my kind, i need you.

about

Neva Dinova's self-titled debut full-length, originally self-released in 2001, is reissued with two bonus tracks. The band formed in 1992 when guitarist and vocalist Jake Bellows and bassist Heath Koontz began writing songs and performing around their hometown of Omaha, NE.

Their haunting, three-guitar-swirling debut, later re-released by Crank Records, was heralded as a "Top 10 Release of 2002" by the Los Angeles Times. Following a split EP in 2004 with Bright Eyes (One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels) and second album The Hate Yourself Change in 2005, the band released their third full-length album You May Already Be Dreaming in 2008.
