I rode my bike across the lone star state I went to sleep it started getting late and so I slept secrets I kept I wrote a poem and threw it in the trash went to store but didn't have not cash and so I wept a new corvette and all at once it started raining bricks just for once it started raining bricks I broke my teeth and mailed them to your house now all the girls are laughing at my mouth what should I do? what can I do? and all at once it started raining just for once it started raining

Gabe Saucedo told me I suck he said "fishboy the world it don't revolve around you" Gabe Saucedo told me to give it up he said "throw in the towel before the towel it strangles you" and I know he's only joking and I know he's only helping keep my ego my ego in check and part of me is hoping and the rest of me is hoping that hes really my biggest fan please understand the genius theory I've devised Gabe Saucedo called my brother Dirk and he asked "how did you get all your family's talent?" Gabe Saucedo he called me a jerk when Dirk told him that I wrote this song about him but I know he's only joking and I know hes only helping keep my ego down to size and part of me is hoping and the rest of me is hoping that he's really the head of my fan club and he'll stand up one day and he will come clean but in the mean while I be waiting and biding my time and calling him every chance I get so he can cut me down to size cause thats just what I've got to do and I know he's only joking and I know he's only helping keep my ego my ego in check and part of me is hoping and the rest of me is hoping that hes really my biggest fan please understand the genius theory I've devised

Broken Bones 02:00
broken bones and broken feet make it hard for me to walk across the street where I got a job to earn some dough so I can heal these broken bones and on that day when it comes at last the hospital assistant will cut me out of a body cast and I'll run and jump and dance and scream and backflip off a trampoline and kiss the girl I've wanted for so long but until that day I gotta wait for a medical professional to come and say I've healed these broken bones and you can't rollerskate in a buffalo heard and you can't sit still when you've heard the word whispered in your ear by buddy holly's ghost there's a time to work there's a time to play but not until you reach the day you heal these broken broken bones broken teeth make it hard for me to eat but I've got to try I've got to grow so I can heal these broken bones broken bones please to cry I will love you will I die broken bones say goodbye goodbye don't ever return

Hovercraft 02:44
when you lose your keyboard check the lost and found but it's not there so you make some flyers and post them around the block for those who care one week passes and turned into a month with no reply you start to wonder was it even worth the try and all your neighbors never seem to be around the skies are yellow all the leaves are blue up is down and I'll ride the hovercraft across the bay gliding on water there is no better way so you check your mailbox and you got one note and its from me it says I'm coming I'll be there tonight at nine fifteen as you ride to greet me you start to speed you take the back roads and all the lights are green and I'll ride the hovercraft out of the past and I'll glide for miles and hope this always last and I could love you hovercraft

Accidents 02:49
I took a drive and drove straight off a cliff and parachuted out before I hit but try as I might I could not pull the chord flashback to every word my father said and as the ambulance looked for my body a little phrase entered my head what doesn't kill you son it only makes you stronger now I'm so strong I should be dead so I flew a kite and used up all the string I used up everything that it could give but try as I might I hit a power line flash back to everyday that I had lived and as the paramedics lifted up my body a little phrase chimed in my ear what doesn't kill you son it only makes you stronger and now I'm stronger than a bear and as the hospital began to take my vitals my whole family gathered around what does not kill you son it only makes you stronger now I'm the strongest guy in town I'm the stronges guy around so I called your house to tell you where I was and all the awful places I had been now on your machine I am sounding like a jerk wont blame you if you never talk to me again

another day has ended another night's begun moonlight shines upon the ground reflected from the sun little hands and fingers tiny toes and feet will soon be instruments to run into the street and now your heart has grown one size it's larger than before your eyes you have changed big wheel keep on turning across the new back yard bigfoot stole a bunny but didn't get very far and when the ice starts melting and grey clouds blow away we'll ride our bikes straight out of this town and we wont stop till we get to mexico and now your heart has grown another size it's larger than before your eyes you have changed another day has ended another night's begun moonlight shines upon the ground reflected from the sun little hands and fingers tiny toes and feet will soon be instruments to run into the street and now your heart has grown another size it's larger than before your eyes are huge tonight and now your heart has grown one size it's larger than before your eyes you have changed ohohohoh you have changed

Tired Tried 03:05
I'm tired I'm tired I'm tired of playing all my scales I tried I tried to learn everyone and I failed so I quit now I sit humming my own melody I tried I tried now I I'm just banging on the keys and although I have given up you know I'll never quit I'll will hide in my catacomb burning up fires chewing on wires I'm tired I'm tired I'm tired of doing all my chores I tried I tried and now I won't try and more and although have given up you know I'll never quit I will hide in my living room lighting up fires burning up wires I'm tired I'm tired I'm tired of playing all my scales I tried I tired to learn every one and I failed

about

NOM: the sound of one eating another. This nine song EP is an exercise in the way one person interprets another's song. In this case the production team known as the Om Nom Noms (Justin Collins, Howard Draper, and Mark Sonnabaum) were given existing but unrecorded Fishboy songs (many of which were written for Albatross) that had yet to bet fleshed out with a full band. With a limited amount of studio time at the Echolab in Argyle, TX, a vocal track and scratch guitar the team interpreted these nine tracks how they saw fit with wonderful results.

In the late summer of 2009 the record was self released on vinyl with hand screened covers in four different colors.
