Still The Night Comes
04:26
|

Even if you get your day in the sun
Still the night comes
I can’t be your money penny, not in this economy
Honey have your fun
Splinters won’t stay gilded
Gold might turn to gray
You can’t outrun us all forever, You can’t leave
But you can’t stay
Made a career outta passin’ go
You never get a ticket
I’m on another fool’s errand, don’t I know by now?
Don’t you blink and miss it
Splinters won’t stay gilded
Gold might leave you green
Out at night your hands so dirty
Who keeps you clean?
Nobody tells you no
Pinnin’ on roses when you should be home
Another easy price to pay
Doin’ wrong still the last to laugh
What’s that funny thing you say?
Yeah, I heard last night you killed it
You’re not listening
Prove it all night u ain’t ready for
Just what I mean
Nobody tells you no
Still the night comes

Why Make Me Cry
03:06
|
|||
Don’t act so surprised by these tears in my eyes
You do this to me everyday
You let me have it don’t let up until it happens
Find just the worst words to say
Why make me cry
Why make me cry
Why make me cry
Congratulations you broke my heart
Didn’t know you could do it again
Too much of a good thing ain’t what let us down
But I’m not gonna let the whole world see my cry
Why make me cry
Why make me cry
Why make me cry
Why make cry-----y
You gotta hold on - hold on to yourself
Can’t just leave it up to me
So afraid, of what? Makin’ it so rough
The way you take it out on me
Fine make me cry
Last time was the try
Fine make me cry
What’s another row? Well it’s one too many.
I’ve got reasons singin’ Mary Jane
Gonna fix it somehow, no don’t pretend now
Not gonna wait til ya know that it’s just too late
I spoke just a moment to soon
Searched by the light of the moon
It won’t make you feel better so why make me cry?

Now That You Know
03:12
|

Now that you know that you have what you need - what do you want?
Do you still wanna be together - anyway that we can? My man.
Now that you got all the time in the world to be on both sides
Do you mean to show me you won’t? No, I can’t understand. No ma’am.
Now that you know
Know about the way I am and the way you wanna be
Don’t write it down, no
Say it to my face like there’s no gettin’ back to me
Now that you’re older and sayin’ you’re over it - why would I wait?
Elvis said it’s now or never. Startin’ over again. Old friend.
Now that you know that your songs are your own -what’s left to say?
Is this a storm that we should weather? I’m more than a fan. I am.
Now that you know
Know about the way I am and the way you wanna be
Don’t write it down, no
Tell it to my face like there’s no gettin’ back to me
Say you don’t mind - seems like you’re fine - all in good time
Say you don’t mind - seem like you’re fine - all in good time
You’ve always had nothing but ti-iime
Nothing but t-i-iime

Slainte! to the last of friends
I may be your only one left
They can break or bend or make amends
Which did you choose?
Been a friend to one who has no friends
An enemy to one who would make me an enemy
You could be foolish or you could be wise
You could stop short of thinking twice
Wonder when you'll finally realize
Don't take this out on me
I may be your only one left
They can break or bend or make amends
Which did you choose?
Been a friend to one who has no friends
An enemy to one who would make me an enemy
You could be foolish or you could be wise
You could stop short of thinking twice
Wonder when you'll finally realize
Don't take this out on me
Anything I can lend
Am I just a means to an end?
And when I remind you how this ends
Don't take this (don't take this)
DON'T TAKE THIS OUT ON ME
I know how it hurts to be alone
Think you know how everything is grown
Watered it and turned it into stone

Jukebox Money
04:00
|
|||
Gave me money for the jukebox
said play what you want
And I knew right then, I was in trouble
If you’re working on a sure shot
You don’t need beginners luck
And I always knew, I needed double
If you wanted to go -you coulda left a long long time ago
There was so very much I didn’t know
When you look at me lonely
I don’t know who you’re sorry for
And I know by now, not to assume
What’s the worst thing you could say
Well I hope you say it soon
Say it when I’m right there, in the room
If you wanted to go -you woulda left a long long time ago
There was so very much I didn’t know
You didn't want no trouble - didn’t want me around
Well look at you - honey look at you now
Coulda taken you with me
Instead of leavin’ you in the past
But i see that’s where you feel at home
Old baby did I make you happy
sometimes I think I got close
Maybe that’s the reason you started leavin’ me alone
If you wanted to go -you coulda left a long long time ago
There was so many times u laid me low
Called me trouble - didn’t want me around
Well look at you - honey look at you now
The tide rolls in
You get carried away
A little light comes on
But it wasn’t enough
Not for me, Anyway
Gave me money for the jukebox
Played just what i want
To look back now, i was seein’ double
Only playin’ with the hand I got
Now I make my own luck
You and I both know, baby i’m good trouble
If you wanted to go -you shoulda left a long long time ago
There was so many things I couldn’t know
You didn't want no trouble - didn’t want me around
Well look at you - honey look at you now

Aventine Hill
03:15
|
|||
What does it matter if it isn’t true?
Showed no remorse so they’re all blamin’ you
And what does it matter if you never say?
You’re gonna get what is comin’ your way
A fire is burning on
With a blind eye and a deaf ear turned
Nero sang while the Aventine burned
Glass-eyed stare, unaware
I’m beginning to think that you just don’t care
A fire is burning on
A fire is burning on
What have you done now?
Don’t tell me to calm down
What have you done now -Don’t even tell me to calm down
What have you done now - Don’t even tell me to calm down
Everything’s regular out on the hill
Then a carpet of flames unrolls at will
Now over the hill and over the dale
Echoes the howl of a new widow’s wail
A fire keeps burning on
The fire keeps burning on
A fire is burning is burning it’s burning
A fire is burning on
What have you done now?
Don’t tell me to calm down
What have you done now -Don’t even tell me to calm down
What have you done now - Don’t even tell me to calm down
This fire is burning on
The fire is burning on
Fire is burning, it’s burning
A fire is burning on

On The Same Side
04:26
|
|||
I don’t mind if the bugs get in the house
If it’s in the service of my friends comin’ in and out
Less the water splashed over the edge
Take what you need and please come back again
If you bear a heavy heart - tell me how you feel
Start where you are - you know i’m right here
If the streets they flood and you can’t get through
If everyone goes mad like they’re tryin’ to
If the day should come - you do the worst that you could do
This world is like a river - I’m on the same side as you
I should bring the chairs out of the rain
Sure miss you already, however long you stay
Sorry for the time that we spent mad
What a pity to have wasted any precious time we had
If you need a place to stay - sleep here on the couch
My door is always open if you’re up or if you’re down
If the streets they flood and we know they do
If everyone goes mad like they’re tryin’ to
If the day should come - I do the worst that I could do
Oh this world is like a river - I’m on the same side as you
*Instrumental section*
Any place they try to drag you name
Know I’ll never follow - my heart will never change
Everybody’s got an axe to grind
Stay sharp just like you - I follow my own mind
Anybody says they know, says they draw a line
Keep holding on to me and I think we’ll be just fine
If the streets they flood and you can’t get through
If everyone goes mad and we know they do
If the day has come - you think they really come for you
Oh this world is like a river - I’m on the same side as you

Jacques The Fatalist
05:21
|

Easy for you to say
All supposed to be this way
You’re such a fatalist
Own up to some of this
Take credit along with blame
Jacques tell me of your many loves
You say it’s written in the sky above
A ledger hung from a cloud
If everything that we do or say
Is predetermined written like a play
Are you free from worry and doubt?
Glad you got it figured out,
Anyhow
Easy for you to say
All supposed to be this way
You’re such a fatalist
Own up to some of this
Take credit along with blame
We should high tail it outta here
Jacques put it into second gear
They won’t just put us away
You say it doesn’t matter anyway
We don’t get to pick a different date
I’ll walk if it’s all the same
And it always it everyday,
Anyway
Easy for you to say (short)
All supposed to be this way
You’re such a fatalist
Own up to some of this
Take credit along with blame
Easy for you to say (hold)
All gotta be this way
You dance like a determinist
You know fate could never do the twist
Take credit along with blame
--Take credit along with blame
----Easy for you to say

Don't Wait Til Summer
02:52
|

Don't wait 'til Summer
Don't wait 'til Summer
Don't wait 'til it's on your mind
Mess around it'll be August
Messed around and now it's August
Messed around and now it's way past time
Never too late to do the the right thing
Not too late, although it's way past time
Don't fuck around until August
*flip it!*
I fuck around but I don't waste my time
And what I take I pay back in kind
It's good to hear that I been on your mind
(You been on mine)
Don't ya, don't ya hear me calling?
Don't ya, don't ya feel me calling?
I'll keep it quick I don't wanna waste your time
Don't wait 'til, don't wait 'til, don't wait 'til it's on your mind
Don't fuck around until August

Sweet Missouri
02:49
|
|||
Oh, my sweet Missouri
Why do I love you so
The newspapers tell of worry
And I cannot stand for the snow
The flowers in their beds may not perk up in spring
My friends may not pause at the songs that I sing
So I’m gonna write you a poem I swear
My love’s like a red red rose
Oh, my sweet Missouri
How can I hold you close
The clocks all stop for worry
With their hands they were froze
Took an overnight train to a plane to a train
Took a roundabout way to say i’m insane
But i’m gonna leave you a poem I swear
Though we were ten thousand miles
Oh, my sweet Missouri
Your ashes are in the urn
Fallow your fields in a hurry
And your cities are left to burn
Oh, my sweet Missouri
Why do I love you so
Newspapers all tell of worry
And I cannot stand for the snow
Oooh - oooh
Oooh
