Sounds Like:
CARPOOL = track by track breakdown and review:
AVERAGE AMERICAN WARRIOR = confession obsession. Reinvention of a grown up lawn mower boy.
BORING = no curbs. No one's home. Screaming in the night time.
CARPOOL = being alone with donuts and empty conversation.
WHAT HAVE I REALLY WON? = torn apart by the missing parts. Between nothing and no one.
WILMA PLACE = somewhere in outer space.
DAY JOB BLUES = like a death sentence. Dark and dreary.
BURNING DOWN THE NIGHT = Sex and power just feel right.
LONELY FAMILY MAN = What is normal? when no one understands
REHAB GIRL = before Britney & Lindsey and Edie Sedgwick
CHILDREN OF PARADISE = sadness in the land of sunshine.
SUBURBAN LOVE GODZ = the Devil is in the darkness.
