Calorie 01:45
Nature girl won’t you scoop me The soil no longer binds us Nature boy won’t you punch through Our mud walls they divide us Our common sense Once happenstance The wisdom of our rivals Psycho real estate Our landlord Finds a way to grind us 4 wheel drivers Hard-hat strivers The cave wall’s tumbling The nature girls are stumbling ‘round The cold water’s lengthening The nature boys they calorie count 4 wheel drivers Hard-hat strivers The cave wall’s tumbling The nature girls are stumbling ‘round The cold water’s lengthening The nature boys they calorie count Respect the calorie Rough body Rough body Respect the calorie Rough body like me

Ski Bunny 03:33
She’s a fan of the Pyrenees Hits the slopes in minus 10 degrees Grinding powder while you’re slicing cheese But she can’t say thanks or please. The slopes are rather chilly But you’re safe and toasty By the fire she keeps you company But you can’t say thanks or please. Expensive furniture, hot cars But your heart’s in arrears. Now you catch the bus to Whistler Watch out you'll be kissin’ her. Don’t fear the ski bunny Put your number in her phone Her Daddy’s got 3 three degrees And a shiny silver Mercedes She hosts his gala every January But he can’t say thanks or please. She loves her Hollywood movies Never heard The Flamin’ Groovies Brings a working-man to his knees. But she can’t say thanks or please Expensive furniture, hot cars But your heart’s in arrears. Now you catch the bus to Whistler Watch out you’ll soon be kissin’ her. Don’t fear the ski bunny Put your number in her phone Grab your keys for the ski-doo There’s a storm coming in Don’t fear the ski-bunny But don’t make her your honey

You’re in the band? You were playing? OK, I think that we should be friends! Cause everyone I know, is in a band And if you aren’t I just don’t think, We can be friends It’s not you, It’s not me It just so happens to be that All my friends are in a band It just happens to be like that Remember the time? You were there We were backstage at the hall. You just played After our band! The crowd was going wild! Hey wanna come Back to my space? We can party more and drink? But not you! Did you play? Sorry, not trying to be a dick Cause everyone I know, is in a band And if you aren’t I just don’t think, We can be friends It’s not you, It’s not me It just so happens to be that All my friends are in a band It just happens to be like that

Aerial Drama 02:39
Lasers, drag racers, TV dinners Phasers on snow days Jet fuel on Fridays A robot dog or two Those were the days Before the call Until the desert showed me Who dangles the stars Book of forbidden science Atomic gift I paid the price for giving away Away I paid the price for giving away Away All of them came All for my name All are in the game Aerial drama Until the pricey pilots Channeled empty space Alien architect Awake upon the tube They chose the time for giving away Away They chose the time for giving away Away All of the papers came All for my name All are in the game Aerial drama

Old Skins 04:31
I have shed old skins You don’t know where I’ve been So why not put your judgements aside From birth to death It’s life and then the end Don’t let those moments pass you by! Whoooooaaaah oh oh oooooooo ohs x2 And what do we become When the shackles of the living From our wrists are shunned Let my body dissolve Into the sun and the stars Bask in the grandness of it all! Whoooooaaaah oh oh oooooooo ohs x2 I have shed old skins Had more losses than wins But that’s the truth of troublesome times Because through the pain You can still have gains If your mind can just hold on! Whoooooaaaah oh oh oooooooo ohs x2 I have shed more friends Than I’ve chose to take with On this trip that we call life There’s not much I’ll miss As I fade into the bliss For this final flight! Whoooooaaaah oh oh oooooooo ohs x2

It’s a nice day for making fables A change of fate for Anne of Green Gables She’s paid for May but it matters not Just a little thing that she forgot The hash stash It’s what she does for fun The laws have changed But they’ll grind her till she runs Citizens are born Learn to crawl Then sign on sign on Even if you’re poor Sign a lease Keep the peace While you can It’s a nice day for turning tables Rent from me If you’re able I don’t fancy your look son But come right in We might learn some Oh wait I guess I changed my mind The clan I prefer Is not your kind. Citizens are born Learn to crawl Then sign on sign on Even if you’re poor Sign a lease Keep the peace While you can You built an armchair To sit on my porch with An exclusive possession I want to torch it It’s about time for It’s about time for It’s about time for (Rent from me Anne) x 4 Citizens are born Learn to crawl Then sign on sign on Even if you’re poor Sign a lease Keep the peace While you can Pay repeat Rent receipt If you can

I Ain't Got 04:29
When will I become enough? When will my cup be filled up? I’m looking in the mirror The only person standing here is me I can’t do it all, excuses, piled up so tall Because I ain’t got enough time I ain’t got enough money I ain’t got enough friends or family I ain’t got enough skills I ain’t got enough ready I ain’t got enough days to get it. But I think about it all the time But my excuses keep me behind Can I help myself get through? The barriers that keeps me from moving forward I ain’t got enough time I ain’t got enough money I ain’t got enough opportunity I ain’t got enough words I ain’t got enough hope I ain’t got enough technology. There’s something always holding you back But I just can’t place it It’s a fear or thought I have Because I just can’t face it I ain’t got enough space I ain’t got enough power I ain’t got enough pain or privilege I ain’t got enough love I ain’t got enough freedom I ain’t got enough But I gotta find it in me

Track 10 written by 10 Day Notice
*Guitar solos on tracks 3, 5, 9 by Evan Thomas

"With its three-part harmonies and prominent keyboards, 10 Day Notice isn’t exactly GG Allin or the Dayglo Abortions. What we have, however, is a pleasing slice of pop-punk goodness that still packs a punch. Especially notable are the male and female vocals, with one taking the lead and the other providing backups until the next song, when they switch it up again.

Transcendent and almost otherworldly at times, the vocals provide a solid bedrock on which the instruments swirl, moving smoothly from one dimension to the next. “Albert”, about an aspiring rock star, has a Liz Phair sort feel to it, the vocals soaring but never screechy. “He’ll make it even if he has to kill,” sings Leah Martin, admiring Albert’s determination to succeed at a very difficult game. Vocalist/guitarist Matt Granlund brings his adroit guitar playing and Aussie accent to the table, pairing with Leah like John Doe to Exene Cervenka of X. Backed by the solid percussion and backup vocals of Evan Thomas, they make a great duo. In these trying times, Rent provides a much-needed musical oasis." - Chris Walter
