"Western Homes" as written by and Scott Kannberg....
Your western homes are locked forever
The new frontier is not that near
Magnetic screens that fold in backward
Will only bring you years of fear
This is what I always wanted,
A new home with a place to breathe
Bring your congregation someday
And you will never...
Never see what I want
I can't see what I want
Can't see what I want
I can't see what I want
What I want
Can't see
The new frontier is not that near
Magnetic screens that fold in backward
Will only bring you years of fear
This is what I always wanted,
A new home with a place to breathe
Bring your congregation someday
And you will never...
Never see what I want
I can't see what I want
Can't see what I want
I can't see what I want
What I want
Can't see

Also, I didn't think this song was bad at all. The vocal effects remind me of Steve Miller.
The strumming guitar at the end reminds me of the lift-off part of 'Washing Machine' by Sonic Youth released the same year if I'm correct.
And yeah, Half a Canyon is a great track.
It's about California, like a lot of their songs. A lot of the immigrants to California were only looking for a new home, a place to breed, a congregation. Now the dream has gone wrong--their homes are "locked forever."
That's my take on it, anyway.
