I can't even think of words to match the way I'm feeling
I don't even think a book can say enough for you
I can only try my best to put it in a song
I guess, you try to speak I know you tell the truth
If I could freeze our small amount of time together
Then we could make believe this world would never end
Unfortunately truth is cold
So you stay young while I get old
But always know, I'm your best friend
Nothing is the same, everything is a better change
Sometimes I see silence in your eyes
Let it all crash down
When it ends, it begins with you
I'm going to look every time you do
And I'm as scared as anybody who has done this
I wouldn't give it up for nothing Fi
You took my love, turned it around
You put my feet back on the ground
I owe you, eternally
Nothing is the same, everything is a better change
Sometimes I see silence in your eyes
Let it all crash down
When it ends, it begins with you
I'm going to look every time you do
I'm always
I'm always
I'm always here
I'm always
I'm always
I'm always here
Nothing is the same, everything is a better change
Sometimes I see silence in your eyes
Let it all crash down
When it ends, it begins with you
I'm going to look every time you do

I do not understand
What it is I've done wrong
Full of holes
Check for pulse
Blink your eyes
One for yes
Two for no
I have no idea what I am talking about
I'm trapped in this body and can't get out
You killed the sound
Removed backbone
A pale imitation
With the edges sawn off
I have no idea what you are talking about
Your mouth moves only with someone's hand up your ass
Has the light gone out for you?
Because the light's gone out for me
It is the 21st century
It is the 21st century
It can follow you like a dog
It brought me to my knees
They got a skin and they put me in
They got a skin and they put me in
Oh, the lines wrapped 'round my face
Oh, the lines wrapped 'round my face
Are for anyone else to see
Are for anyone else to see
I'm a lie
I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming

Nothing Without You
Music and lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
Is it alright if I love you?
Is It alright if I’m true?
Is it alright if I need you?
Is It alright if I’m true?
And all of the friends I’ve made in towns across the land
They never meant nothing much to me it’s true
I know you’ll understand
All of the nights
All of the days I’ve spent away
They meant nothing without you
Is it alright if I call you?
Cause It’s all I want to do
Is it alright if I see you?
Cause I know you’ll help me though
And all the places played in towns across the land
They never meant nothing much to me it’s true
I know you’ll understand
Cause Tonight
I can’t sleep
I’m praying to be home with you
Believe me
When I say
I Love You!

Words and music by Matthew Schwartz
For all of the empty homes
strewn around town
And all our abandoned friends
No longer around.
For every last tear we shed
Or our unhealed scars that bled
When the dust finally settles here
You’ll be standing beside me
Turn the lights down, take off your soul
Then please take mine
We can’t replay memories
no way to rewind
When others gave up on vows
We took our chips and doubled down
With the sun rise I promise this
I’ll be standing beside you
Though life is a mystery
There’s one truth that’s clear to me
When the years slow down to a day
You’ll be standing beside me
And I’ll be standing beside you

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feelin' two-foot small
Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather 'round all you clowns
Let me hear you say
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away

"Less Than Zero"
Calling Mister Oswald with the swastika tattoo,
there is a vacancy waiting in the English voodoo,
carving "v" for vandal on the guilty boy's head.
When he's had enough of that maybe you'll take him to bed
to teach him he's alive before he wishes he was dead.
Turn up the TV. No one listening will suspect,
even your mother won't detect it,
no your father won't know.
they think that I've got no respect
but everything means less than zero.
Hey, ooh hey, hey, ooh hey.
Oswald and his sister are doing it again.
They've got the finest home movies that you have ever seen.
They've got a thousand variations: every service with a smile.
They're gonna take a little break, and they'll be back after a while.
well I hear that South America is coming into style.
A pistol was still smoking, a man lay on the floor.
Mister Oswald said he had an understanding with the law.
He said he heard about a couple living in the USA.
He said they traded in their baby for a Chevrolet.
Let's talk about the future now we've put the past away.

Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Julia
Julia, Julia
Ocean child calls me
So I sing the song of love
Julia
Julia, seashell eyes
Windy smile calls me
So I sing the song of love
Julia
Her hair of floating sky is shimmering
Glimmering in the sun
Julia, Julia
Morning moon touch me
So I sing the song of love
Julia
When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind
Julia
Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud
Touch me
So I sing a song of love
Julia
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Calls me
So I sing the song of love for
Julia, Julia, Julia

My tears are fallin'
'Cause you've taken her away
And though it really hurts me so
There's something that I've gotta say
Take good care of my baby
Please don't ever make her blue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do
Aww, take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Paint a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you
So, take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Well, take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Aww, take good care of my baby
Well, take good care of my baby
Just, take good care of my baby

“The Only One”
All of us wondering
just what it means to live this life
what was i doing before you came?
and why did we go through?
everything seems so out of place
i need an answer to this maze
i wanna be the only one
i just can't wait for it to come
gotta keep my head to the sun (i know now that i'm in love)
it's alright
i wanna be the only one
it's alright
where are we going?
hold on i know just what this means
i don't think that i can take it again
so when we are dying
when everyone's cut us off below our knees
i'll be awfully excited
if you're there with me
oh, to be your only love
oh, i can't seem to get enough
oh, to think that you're the one
oh, to be your only love

“C Song”
We've got to come together now
hold hands and make sure of our vows
we've got to run and catch ourselves
before this rift widens and becomes too far to cross
the tides will rise
drown this prize fight
and wash to sea
you see, there's no pageantry
we've got it all
it's bout to fall
why can't we see?
we must be friends
or this will end
why can't we see
that change begins in me
well i got myself in a bind
i acted like things were all fine
now i can't make this go around again, it's true
if things don't ever change
today will be our last day
i just wish i weren't always toe to toe with you
i apologize

Oww!
(Ahh)
Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
Yeah!
I move like a cat, charge like a ram
Sting like a bee, babe, I wanna be your man, hey!
Well, it's plain to see you were meant for me, yeah
I'm your boy, your 20th century toy
Yeah!
Friends say it's fine, my friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
Fly like a plane, drive like a car
Bawl like a hound, babe, I wanna be your man, hoo!
Well, it's plain to see you were meant for me
And I'm your toy, your 20th century boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy-ah
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood, nah, nah
Move like a cat, charge like a ram
Sting like a bee
Oh, oh, babe, I wanna be your man
And, um, and, oh, oh
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
And I'm your toy, your 20th century boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your toy
20th century boy-ah, I wanna be your toy
Yeah-ah
Ah, oh, oh, yeah
My friends say it's fine, they say it's good
I don't believe it's like Robin Hood
I'm like a car, I drive like a plane
I wanna hang your head in the falling rain
Ah, oh yeah
Wow!

“Fantasy (In B Minor)”
When you’re asleep I’ll soar
Feed my hungry heart through open doors
It’s my mistake, it’s fake I know it
To have my share of cake and eat it too
Well what can I do?
Cause I believe
We were meant to be together
Fantasy
Has now wrecked all of the reality
Of love
An everyday eyesore
That begs a blinded heart to look for more
It’s my mistake, it’s fake I know it
To watch me give and take and take from you
Well what can I do?
Picture perfect
It’s not worth it
A thousand words that shoot right through you

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember, when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath, we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But, all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?
And it's not a cry, that you hear at night
It's not somebody, who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Pacifico Atlanta, Georgia
True, it is the musical journey of singer/songwriter Matthew Schwartz, but Pacifico is more about the music than one person. Pacifico started in the summer of 1999 and since has gone through many changes but has always remained a solid outlet for great music. ... more

I’m still waiting for my physical CD copy. I ordered back on March 2, 2023 and it said it would be here before March 18 but still waiting. Sent out two emails just wondering if it was sent and haven’t heard anything back. Next I will open a dispute with PayPal or BandCamp

California (Remastered)
by The Lassie Foundation
supported by 6 fans who also own “Skins”
The summer of ‘97 I was about to leave where I had lived my entire life and go 14+ hours away. That summer I found California. I bought it because Eric and Wayne were a part of Starflyer’s Americana album. From the first, “Thank you! Lassie Foundation” introduction I was in. This was the soundtrack to that time of my life. Loud music with soft singing w lyrics that were both hopeful+ realistic. It is still one of my fav albums ever and I love that I can have it on vinyl. Thanks guys.
