lyrics

GIVE IT UP

There may come a time when I wake up
There may come a time when I wake up and be a man
Wake up from infatuation and all these expectations
And give it up for free

I don't know if I can restrain myself
I don't know if I can train myself to be more patient
When it's time to watch you go
And I'm left here on my own
I will give it up for free

It's not the giving that hurts, it's the waiting to receive
There's a melody I want to play with you
But we're not playing the same song

What I desire more than anything
What I desire more than anything is to lose my pride
I won't make demands, let it slip right through my hands
When I give it up for free

Apricot Jam
by Jonathan Segel

Victor Krummenacher from Camper van Beethoven joins Segel (also CvB) for a beautiful sattva-sativa journey. Kevin Seal (from this band, Griddle) is a fan of Graham Connah, the organist on these jams. Griddle

The Hip Hop Soul Revival (EP)
by Nate "Suave" Cameron Jr.

"Don't Sell Your Soul" is the best hip-hop single of the past decade. That is all. Griddle

SHOCK-U-PY! now available at alternativetentacles.com
by Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School Of Medicine

Admitting some bias: Griddle's very own Kimo Ball is one of the guitarists in Jello's new band. Biafra's lyrics have never been funnier or more thought- (and action-) provoking. Occupy As F*ck. Griddle
