(Shane)
Gimme a
Day off
I'll go
'N get lost
Free time, oh free time
Nothing spent from nothing
Better off on house arrest
Somewhere in Spain
Inaudible muttering:
Ive been thinking a lot about
About growing up and our family and
I just used to feel so close to everyone I guess
I just can’t stop thinking about it no
No matter how hard I try

Keep me in time when

Catherine was a friend of mine
There was a light in her eyes
Enough light to fill the dark space
In my heart it is so dark
Catherine
I'll sing

I'm gonna follow the liquid
Watch myself being led away from myself
Down some ancient stairway
Under everything
Watch myself being eaten by the distance
'Hahaha,' bellows the joker
'No, no, no,' replies the victim

Undone I (1909)
03:32

(I wrote this song in, I wrote this song in 1909)
(No that, that ain't right)
Sometimes you lose someone
Love comes undone
When you hide behind
No one left inside
(Made a mistake there)
Sometimes you are someone
Mama came undone
When she lost her son
No one left, left to love
(That's a song about growing up in 1909, thank you very much)
(Did you hear something? Thought I heard something. Ha, ha. Ears playing tricks on me)

It's hard to know
These things out there
Its hard to watch
You, himself and god
Its hard
Its easy,
Die-a-beat-us-up
Be strong, knots loose
Its easy pre-fall
Gods godself, the fall
Its easy

Welcome (to heaven)
02:46
|
|||
|
Out here
in the scorching desert
the heat gets to your head
without water
way out here
without water
blood gets thick
eyes get red
sand
once so soft
like a bed of grass
not any longer
now a rough rock
eats into my back
the only
break in the scorching blue sky
is a lone vulture
some friend, the vulture
it circles
vulture it says:
'welcome,to heaven'

To be a man
It's quite a task
To be a man
Be a man
The city cajole
It's all lit up beneath
An apartment rooftop
It's an uphill drop
To be a man
You have to jump
Fall into the arms
Of the Earth
As it rushes to meet you
Headfirst
What could be worse
Than
To be a man?
To be a man
Could use a hand
To be a man
It's quite a task
To be a man
Be a man
The city cajole
It's all lit up beneath
An apartment rooftop
It's an uphill drop
To be a man
You have to jump
Fall into the arms
Of the Earth
As it rushes to meet you
Headfirst
What could be worse
Than
To be a man?
To be a man
Could use a hand

Won't find me at the shopping mall
won't find me at the restaurant
won't find me at the concert hall
won't find me at the voting stall
won't find me at the protest or rally
won't find me with the minimum wage job
neither the maximum wage or medium
won't find me at the drinks counter
won't find me at the birthday party
won't find me on halloween or christmas
won't find me walking on any pavement
won't find me in conversation
won't find me in any station of life
neither in any station of death or death
won't find me awake or asleep
but if 'n you must, you can find me
far, far away from it all
all alone in the deep blue
ocean blue
where there's no one and nothing
no one and nothing to ruin
ruin what is good, and true, and beautiful
good and true and beautiful...

How many hours in a day
how many dreams in a night
how many trees lost in a forest
how many cities in a country lane
don't dance that day
pretty Jane
pretty Jane
dance away
how many mountains in a rock
how many industries does it take
how many dollars in a disaster
how many rides in a railway
don't dance that day
lovely Jane
lovely Jane
dance away

A star (go out)
02:49

I bet you've never seen
a star go out
I bet you've never seen
a mouse eat a mouse
I bet you've never seen
a man without money
I bet you've never seen
a star go out
well you're in for a treat
sit back, relax, enjoy the show
there's nothing you need to know
you can say saw a star go, go, go
you can say you saw
quite a show
a star never knows
a star only goes

another day inside
another day closed blinds
another day wonder why
another day half a mind
some other day outside
some other day open shutters
some other day without why
some other day in the right mind
another day without you
another day rainy clothes on
another day hard to believe
another day fish on a hook
some other day with you
some other day sunny warm and dry
some other day second nature faith
some other day a fisher-mans fortune

Every now and then I find you
walking alone as the snow sinks down, I find you
you were around for me, you found me
you were around when I drowned, you found me
we won't go away, will we?
every now and then I lose you
out among the metal and the screen, I lose you
you were away for a while, you lost me
you were away while I whittled, you lost me

Don't lose (faith or)
01:43

When my faith failed
god grated his nails onto his plate
'o, my son, don't lose faith
or I'll serve you my nails on your dinner plate'
now I plead,
'o, my god,
have mercy on me and help my unbelief
come quickly'

Won’t leave you behind
Won’t leave you behind
I’m not mine, not mine
Wont leave you behind
Won’t see you not mine
Wont put you on the line
Wont waste your time
Wont pick your mind
Wont walk on a dime
Wont talk over your lines
Wont leave you behind
Wont leave you behind
Im not mine, not mine
Wont you be mine so I
Wont have to leave you behind
Wont have to leave you behind

All these Christmas lights Twinkle dimly in the snowy white And the mist of our breath are all that’s left Of the sadness that these lights embody Christmas lights Shine so bright All these Christmas lights Let me feel you’re here tonight And the cold snowflakes are all that’s left Of the girl that these lights embody Christmas lights Shine so bright
