Is it this place that makes me fall from you?
Forget the words that once rang so true
Did we expect that life was ever fair, my God...
I sowed a field of rose and reaped a whipping rod
And everything I've held too tight inside
Could make a part of me die
And if my lips could only speak the name
The dam would break
What is this ice that gathers 'round my heart?
To stop the flood of warmth before it even starts
It would make me blind to what I thought would always be
The only constant in the world for me
And every hour of every day
I need to fight from pulling away
And if my mind could only loose the chain
The dam would break
For all the things I hid away
And all the words I could not say
The dam would break

| ziakut (A place with air, water and chocolate.) | Posted: Mar 29, 2011 - 19:50 One of the best damn bands on RP!! Dammit! |
| bindi (North Carolina) | Posted: Dec 25, 2010 - 17:22 Why didn't Toad get ant airplay back then? Such great music - unheard by the majority of the world. . .My mind could have used their music at the time. |
| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: Dec 25, 2010 - 17:20 Yes, "Helgi" - very-very nice! 90% of "Toad" is very nice - and you better believe me! After their split 10 years ago they are talking about a new album in 2011! VERY UNDERRATED BAND - considered to be a college-band! Something that was sooo wrong!! GREAT-GREAT albums! I recommend "DULCINEA" - the one before "COIL", what had been their last! So far...! |
| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: May 17, 2010 - 00:23 Nice!! |
| Sjaaks (Horst, Netherlands) | Posted: May 17, 2010 - 00:19 Uhum, well, to me this is one of their best songs, absolutely love this one!! How surprised to hear it here, but then again, actually not surprised at all...  |
| tabs (inside 128, ma) | Posted: Apr 15, 2010 - 06:01 not their best work but o.k. |

I know what you mean —- Walk On The Ocean can bring me to tears. Fall Down is a good antidote though. And long after the fact, Toad has become one of my favorite bands. |

If you like this group make sure you check out Todd Nichols (guitarist) & Dean Dining (bassist) in the group Lap Dog. They represent the harder-edged part of Toad's core personnel. See: http://www.lapdogmusic.com Lots of free MP3s of their work are there for the taking... |
| hippiechick (Heaven, a place where nothing ever happens) | Posted: Jan 28, 2009 - 11:17 I just love Toad, but I always feel sad listening to their music. |
| black321 (Bong Island) | Posted: Jan 28, 2009 - 11:17 have to say, after the last set of: Delaney & Bonnie - Coming Home David Gilmour - There's No Way Out Of Here Elvis Costello - Watching The Detectives this song comes off as a bit of, oh let's just say "out of place." |

| heyjoe3577 (Seattle) | Posted: Jul 11, 2007 - 09:14 This might be the only Toad song I've ever liked. |
