Casting my eyes in your direction an indiscretion at your front door Couldn’t be there but I could see that you were enraptured on the bedroom wall I was an echo of an echo of a mirage and you were a lover, undercover all alone Can’t believe it, just what I needed to cast it off like a rolling stone Had to leave it and find a scene where no one could judge my intentions wrong I was an echo of an echo of a mirage and you were a lover, undercover all alone Look at my eyes, I’m one year sober a little older and I’m doing alright all that I want, a room for my son some honest work and a job well done I was an echo of an echo of a mirage and you were a lover, undercover all alone Please remember me well Please remember me well I’m gone Casting my eyes in your direction an indiscretion at your front door Couldn’t be there but I could see that you were enraptured on the bedroom wall I was an echo of an echo of a mirage and you were a lover, undercover all alone

I’ve got a lonely feeling I know it’s never gonna leave me If only you could see me Staring up at my own glass cieling that’s held up by these four glass walls they’ll fall as soon as I toss the first stone that I see, now through your bedroom window When will I be free of this? I’ve got myself caught in a little mess Take a little test at the next waystation find I’m made out of pure vibration By now, you think you know me because my roots are showing you’re kind to pretend not to notice all the hearts on my sleeve are bleeding there’s more to what you see here I’ve got bonus features there’s just too many to list them I’ll be sure to send you an addendum When will I be free of this? I’ve got myself caught in a little mess Take a little test at the next waystation find I’m made out of pure vibration You said my looks are offending I want a second opinion there is no fear of rejection that’s how you got my attention my heart beats out my open chest that’s where you put out your cigarette When will I be free of this? I’ve got myself caught in a little mess Take a little test at the next waystation find I’m made out of pure vibration

Does Chris Hitchens make your skin crawl? Does anything we do ever really matter at all? Kiss me quick in the Gainsbourg section I wanna re-enact Melody Nelson If you’ll be my Kim I’ll be your Thurston I don’t care if it’s Deal or Gordon girls library girls What was your favorite incarnation of the fall? Does Chris Hitchens make your skin crawl? Does anything we do ever really matter at all? Started young with Judy Blume Moved on to Hannah and her sisters too uh-oh library girls

Her New Man 02:30
Hello. Hi, how are you? It’s been years since I’ve thought of you. You’re doing well. I pause to linger. Stare at the diamond on your left ring finger Her new man works at Lockheed Martin Certified weapons of mass destruction Goes to sleep at night like it ain’t nothin Wakes up in the morning, goes to brunches I’ve been living on my own terms, now for seven years and it still hasn’t turned out. The last time you were red all over your baby bought you a new range rover Her new man works at Lockheed Martin Certified weapons of mass destruction Goes to sleep at night like it ain’t nothin Wakes up in the morning, goes to brunches I know, I could have done better. teardrops on my cardigan sweater Your man is selfish and evil. I’m just self-centered and well-meaning. Her new man works at Lockheed Martin Certified weapons of mass destruction Goes to sleep at night like it ain’t nothin Wakes up in the morning, goes to brunches

Cancer Wing 03:06
Did you see your father in the Cancer Wing? He didn’t look like anything, but his eyes said more than he could say We’re lonesome We’re born alone We’ll die alone Stare into the void It’s beautiful Were you there when they strapped her into the electric chair? with the cords and wires everywhere and did you hear the last words that she said? We’re lonesome We’re born alone We’ll die alone Stare into the void It’s beautiful Mother said, “Kid it’s only in your head and things just come when you wait for them so take whatever you can get.” We’re lonesome We’re born alone We’ll die alone Stare into the void It’s beautiful We’re lonesome We’re born alone We’ll die alone Stare into the void It’s beautiful

Never Change 03:44
I’ve got a tendency to worry about things some things never change I’ve got a history of bad decisions one day maybe one day I will learn Time goes on without you We grow old, still without you Until the top of every mountain is under the sea Some things will never change Diamonds are just rocks that you can see through and gold is a heavy metal sound and love is just a chemical reaction but it’s strong much stronger than I am Time goes on without you We grow old, still without you Until the top of every mountain is under the sea Some things will never change Calm down, there’s no need to worry some things some things will never change Time goes on without you We grow old, still without you Until the top of every mountain is under the sea Some things will never change

Day Planner 02:32
Today, tomorrow, the next day and the next day Today, tomorrow, the next day and the next day Today, tomorrow, the next day and the next day I need a day planner to keep it all straight in my mind

Face to face with my TV screen K-I-S-S-I-N-G Don’t yet know what it might mean but I’m in love with sweet Mary The look in her eyes betrays her smile and what’s on my mind? nothing. From darkened corners and basement walls to skyline fodder and empty malls I’ll search all over till I trip and fall into Mary’s arms cause she’s got it all The look in her eyes betrays her smile and what’s on my mind? nothing. You can turn the world on with your smile and I’ll die You can turn me out turn me out It’s time to pull your hat out of the air I don’t care You can turn me out turn me out turn me out It came to me like all my dreams from a satellite to a TV screen I don’t care about none of those things I got Mary and she’s got me The look in her eyes betrays her smile and what’s on my mind? nothing.

2-BMT 03:43
I was under duress in coffee stained casual dress Over the underpass, not all bridges last Into the water we stumble and all our lives we will hustle Red from embarrassment, we torched our bed and left I hope you’re safe with someone you love I hope the skyscraping spirits above say “This will be the one We will begin again in them” I was shocked to discover I had a mutual lover of King Henry the 8th, a young Kathy Bates I’m an astral plane walker, a concrete jungle tosser and you’re a pale mermaid on a cloudy day I hope you’re safe with someone you love I hope the skyscraping spirits above say “This will be the one We will begin again in them” If it’s me you’re trying to reach I will be naked on some distant beach Into the void you’re trying to see I will be free, you will be free safe with someone you love I hope the skyscraping spirits above say “This will be the one We will begin again in them” safe with someone you love I hope the skyscraping spirits above say “This will be the one We will begin again in them”

about

Bonus Features is our first full-length album. Our master's thesis in rock-and-or-roll.

"A wildly compelling rock band with a fully-intact sense of humor" - Westword

"These are songs that would find a nice home alongside ’70s Lou Reed and Elvis Costello, two punk/rock artists in love with pop in an Andy Warhol sort of ironic-yet-earnest way." - REVERB

"Safe Boating Is No Accident has earned a reputation for crafting accessible indie pop songs, laced with wit and humor, and their most recent full-length album, Bonus Features, does not threaten to tarnish that reputation." - Literati Records

about

Safe Boating is No Accident Denver, Colorado

...Leighton Peterson and Neil McCormick found a vehicle to create the equivalent of David Foster Wallace's great novel Infinite Jest ...these guys are postmodern tricksters who blur the line between humor, social satire and solid pop songcraft.

Initially part folk and avant-garde... Safe Boating is sculpting cathartic pop songs akin to ...early Elvis Costello and The Jam.
-Tom Murphy
