about

"Tommy Santee Klaws has existed in some form for nearly a decade, conjuring miniature tornadoes, making a ruckus. Like some of the best Los Angeles new-folky type acts, Tommy Santee Klaws understands the trick of making nostalgia work both ways; into some bright future and the virtuous, murky past. Skinning the old to dress the new." -Gerard Olson ... more

Track Name: Summer Dogs I
He walked in the door and found her there. She watched him undress, then kissed his lips. He said, "I missed you so. Now, take off your clothes. And lay your head down. And open your mouth. 'Cause i'm coming in. I'm coming in." Her brother said. Her brother said.
Track Name: Summer Dogs II
In the summer and in the dirt, where I love to love my work, to the women in the ground, I have laid another down, far from everyone to see. In the woods, they're free to scream. Oh, the Lord will find me here, rid of pleasure, guilt, and fear. So I left them in the sun and gave God glory when they burned. Oh, I hear them all the time. THey say that one day I'll get mine. So I've cut down all the trees, because their whispers are the breeze. Oh, the Lord will find me here, rid of pleasure, guilt, and fear.
Track Name: Oh Lay
I felt the wind that blew, the wind that blew into my room. I heard her call my name. From down the hall is here it came. And fools, they held me back, and I thought that I had some friends. Oh, lay me down. I threw my body down to get closer to the sound. I raised my voice unto- I raised my voice unto the ground. And fools, they held me back, and I thought that I had some friends. Oh, lay me down.
Track Name: Way To Go
Want some love, but you don't know how to get it. Did you think you could do it by yourself? What a joke, what a stupid fucking joke. Lost yourself in a rage of nastiness. Shouting loud for the Lord God to hear. Flailing limbs in pain and regret. Oh, oh, oh, oh. I'm so alive my body's shaking. I punched my heart, put my fist through my chest. I flail around in bed while I'm sleeping and cough up stones that weigh me down. My blood is rich with fear and weakness, so when I bleed, it's all worthwhile. Way to go, man, way to go. What a good, good, good, man. What a nice, nice, nice man. What a fine, fine, fine man. What a fat, fat, fat man.
Track Name: Good Manatee
Come on and hang out, puddle. Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah. Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah.
Track Name: Laughing At You
I didn't mean to laugh, but it's hard for me to express myself. I didn't mean to say that I often ask myself why I stay. I didn't mean to laugh, but it's hard for me to keep things to myself. I'll be pacing around the block, think-think-thinking these awful thoughts, I talk-talking like I'm really tough, but Lord knows. You see, my nerves are bad tonight. The moon, it smiles. The teeth, they grind. A shuffled feet and jumping gun. A clammy mess of rushing blood. Well, push me just a little more, I'll show you what my palm is for. A hung-up dog collecting sweat. A heavy hand of damp regret. Ooh, ooh. I'll be pacing around the block, think-think-thinking these awful thoughts, I talk-talking like I'm really tough, but Lord knows.
Track Name: Go Tell It
I'll meet you in the garden, in the garden, I will. I'll tell you what happened last night when I fell. I woke up in a darkness and feared the worst fear. The trumpets were singing and coming on strong. It got louder and louder, then back to before. The darkness turned light and swallowed you whole. My eyes are on fire- Did they take you there? Heaven's a nest where you rest your head. And hell's just a hole where your babies do go. I'll meet you in the garden, in the garden, I will. Are you? Are you?
Track Name: Doper
I've made it real clear that I will disappear. I'll disappear down a hole the size of her doe brown eyes. I've made it so clear that I will reappear next to the ones I love in the clouds above. Did they hate us from the start? Is this a family plot? A family plot. Slept in temples filled with snakes to cure her belly aches. Her mind was lost and the door was locked. Abu-Abusing love, his own flesh and blood. Him touching her. Her touching him. It means he came to her and she let him in. Is this making love? Her brother said, "Please, don't be scared. I have a hand and you a mouth. Please, please take me out. Please, take me out." And love he did, his sister kid. "Please, please take me out. Please, take me out. And I have a hand and you a mouth. Please, please take me out."
