Mineral * Gloria/Parking Lot 7"

Side A.....Gloria
Side B.....Parking Lot

This was the bands first 7 inch, originally released on Audio Concept Recs. then later on Caulfield Recs.
Both of these songs appeared on the first full length "The Power of Failing", if you don't have it then this is a great insight to what you are missing. Gloria is a great song, definitely one of my favourites on the LP, raw guitar, great bass.
Parking Lot is the slower of the two songs, with maybe the coolest bit of guitar ever! This is the song that started the Mineral and Crank! Recs. connection.

This 7 inch was released on Caulfield Records and is still available from the Saul Goodman M.D. website.

Gloria
a brave morning thought flap their wings and fly and i can still taste defeat on my lips bright tie fish fly i have not yet arrived how can i not admit i need to know you cause i just want to be something more than the mud in your eyes i want to be the clay in your hands hey sorrow where are you tomorrow just won't be the same without you here I'll wish for shoulders bold and broad to bear and strength to hold my head above them cause i just want to be something more than the mud in your eyes i want to be the clay in your hands cause gloria is silent and glory is a silent thing.

Parking Lot
i wouldn't mind if you took me in my sleep tonight i wouldn't even put up a fight i wouldn't care if you took it all away today i'm sure i wouldn't even miss the pain but i know i've got to live my life and roll around on the ground and feel the strife and realize along the way that i'm nothing more than a grain of salt in the salt of the earth and everything is grace so come on with the darkness come on with the fear cause i've got to start somewhere and it might as well be here and when i'm finally naked and standing in the sunlight i'll look back at all this selfishness and foolish pride and laugh at myself.
