Hey Cowboy!! 04:19
You’re so tall and handsome in everything you do Some people say you’re pretty smart and I guess that’s pretty true All I knows you walk in the room I don’t know what to do The floor it gets all wavy and my mind it turns to gravy so I whip out this guitar and I sing this song for you Hey Cowboy! Hey Cowboy you’re the bomb you got it going on Hey Cowboy you’re the bomb you got it going on Hey Cowboy you’re the bomb you got it going on Hey Cowboy Hey Cowboy Love is like a dirt road that runs right past your door and when you jump into your saddle you know I can’t ignore the way you pick up your bit and start whipping it’s a hit oh cowboy oh cowboy this metaphor has really gone to @#$% Hey Cowboy! Hey Cowboy you’re the bomb you got it going on Hey Cowboy you’re the bomb you got it going on Hey Cowboy you’re the bomb you got it going on Hey Cowboy Hey Cowboy I wanna be your girl I wanna be your hey! I wanna be your girl I wanna be your girl I wanna be your girl In every single way and every single day can you hear me say can you hear me Cowboy! Hey cowboy you’re the bomb you’re the bomb you going on Hey cowboy you’re the bomb you’re the bomb you going on Hey cowboy you’re the bomb you’re the bomb you going on

Well it’s getting kind of difficult having you so near and it’s obvious you don’t understand so let me try to make this clear No, I don’t want to be your special friend and I don’t want to mess around while you tell me off hand jokes about this new love that you found Won’t you give this girl a break Can’t you see I”m on the edge Don't you know I need some time to heal this broken heart of mine Cause my problem very simple if you listen you’ll agree it’s just I love you more than you love me And I don’t know what happened between our first kiss and now I really wish you’d say you love me but that’s a pipedream anyhow cause I don’t want to be your second choice the one you run to when she’s gone and let you cry upon my shoulder and spend the night here in my arms So won’t you turn and walk away cause I’m not strong enough to leave Even though I know what’s best for me and true I’ll be your fool Cause my problem very simple if you listen you’ll agree it’s just I love you more than you love me

Around You 03:32
Ok, suppose I said I realized I was wrong Would it be too late to get you back into my arms Because now I see you brought out the best there was in me It’s because of you .... oh I love you... Around you I am beautiful Around you I am strong Around you I’m magnificent Around you I sing my songs Around you the world stops turning And then it falls away Around you I find the strength inside to get me through today Around you is where I wanna be Around you is where I wanna be Mistakes were made along the way and now I see most of them or maybe all were made by me That being said do you think you might give me one more chance to show what I can do ... I’ll show you how I love you Around you I am beautiful Around you I am strong Around you I’m magnificent Around you I sing my songs Around you the world stops turning And then it falls away Around you I find the strength inside to get me through today Around you is where I wanna be Around you is where I wanna be This old world seems pretty hard for a girl with a broken heart Then I see you standing there and I know no one can compare, now it’s clear to see, all I need is right infront of me - it’s you You are beautiful And I know I was wrong Cause baby your’e magnificent so I’m singing you this song - I’m singing you this song cause you’re oh so strong and you’re everything that a girl could want and when you look into my eyes can’t you see? Oh hell, You’re just really hot, you’re talented, you’re cute, you’re smart, you’re funny and your kisses they taste like fire and honey, honey... and if I’m over the top it’s cause Around you is where I wanna be Around you is where I’ll stay if you just say you’ll let me....

You asked me Am I feeling happy Well that’s hard to say This feeling is ineffable This feeling is incredible Happy is for humans I left the world behind when you took my hand There’s an angel leading us across the stars as we dance And I know this makes no sense at all But I know what I’m feeling here is magical When you touch me I feel like my heart will explode There’s no words to describe how I feel I hope I never wake up to find it’s not real Cause I think that I could spend one hundred million years ... here Happy is for humans. your kiss upon my lips feels so nice it’s like... perfect With every moment passing by I know I can’t sustain this high because I’m very high Maybe I’ll tumble down... if I dare look down Or you might just disappear... if I close my eyes Or maybe I’ll open up my eyes and see your smile Because I know what I’m feeling here is magical When you touch me I feel like my heart will explode There’s no words to describe how I feel I hope I never wake up to find it’s not real Because I think that I could spend one hundred billion years ... here Happy is for humans.

I’m glad my memory finds you so beautiful I’m glad the though of your feels so comfortable I’m glad you don’t jump to conclusions I’m glad this has been slowly brewin’ We’re driving through the park can’t make out that statue in the dark so we use our imagination uh oh mutual friends and so it begins but please pull over I need to get this seatbelt off my shoulder Your smile is like a song with a melody so catchy Your smile is like a song with a melody so catchy that I can’t get it out of my head no I can’t get it out of my head I’m glad my memory finds you so beautiful I’m glad your company feels so comfortable I’m glad this has been slowly brewin’ I’m glad we’re still doin what we’ve been doin’ Your smile is like a song with a melody so catchy Your smile is like a song with a melody so catchy Your smile is like a song with a melody so catchy Your smile is like a song with a melody so catchy that I can’t get it out of my head no I can’t get it out of my head

I'm gonna take you down To the railway line I'm gonna take you down To the railway line I'm gonna take ya where your heart Won't break ya and the water tastes like wine I'm gonna take you down To the railway line We won't take money We won't take the long way 'round We won't take money We won't take the long way 'round We won't take money, we'll live off the honey When the train goes underground We won't take money We won't take the long way 'round I'll drive faster, you'll hold tighter I'll get wild, you'll get wilder I'll make thunder, you'll make rain We'll go down to the runaway train We'll clear that track We're comin' on down the line Yeah clear that track We're comin' on down the line Hey clear that track They won't take us back Well they can stick it where the sun don't shine Clear that track We're comin' on down the line

You say you love me And you're thinkin' of me But you know you could be wrong You say you told me That you wanna hold me But you know you're not that strong I just can't do what I done before I just can't beg you any more I'm gonna let your pass And I'll go last Then time will tell just who has fell And who's been left behind When you go your way and I go mine. You say you disturb me And you don't deserve me But you know sometimes you lie You say you're shakin' And you're always achin' But you know how hard you try Sometimes it gets so hard to care It can't be this way ev'rywhere And I'm gonna let you pass Yes, and I'll go last Then time will tell who has fell And who's been left behind When you go your way and I go mine. The judge, he holds a grudge He's gonna call on you But he's badly built And he walks on stilts Watch out he don't fall on you. You say you're sorry For tellin' stories That you know I believe are true You say ya got some Other kinda lover And yes, I belive you do You say my kisses are not like his But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is I'm just gonna let you pass Yes, and I'll go last Then time will tell who has fell And who's been left behind When you go your way and I go mine.

about

Helmed by multi-platinum and Grammy-winning producer Ed Stasium (Ramones, Talking Heads, Smithereens, Living Colour and many more), It's A Sign is a brilliant expression of Sugar Ponies' irresistible sound: a sexy, sassy, rocking, unfailingly melodic blend of country, rock, classic pop, folk, and whatever else these fearless songsmiths feel like tossing into the mix.

At the core of the band are vocalist Suzanne Kramer, who draws inspiration from Lucinda Williams, Patty Loveless, Patti Cathcart, Kenny Loggins, and Paul Simon; and guitarist Michael McGovern, who tips his hat to XTC's Andy Partridge, Pete Townshend of The Who and Tom Petty guitar slinger Mike Campbell.

Together since 2004, Kramer and McGovern seamlessly weave their diverse influences into a delightful musical tapestry on the new album. From the energetic cover of Bob Dylan's "You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)" that kicks off the LP; to the heart-breaking ballad "Give This Girl A Break"; the lusty rocker "Hey Cowboy!"; the tender, wistful "Happy Is For Humans"; and the effervescent indie-pop of "Please Pull Over", the Ponies go from strength to strength — there's not a weak moment on this record.

With the release of It's A Sign, Sugar Ponies emerges as a major talent. It's as accomplished and winning a recording as you'll hear this year.
