Endless Days

Every step I take is a little more
On the way to living a life that I can’t afford
To fuck up at the simplest task but I can’t change
Living in the past and I feel adored by every stranger popping up walking through my door
Then shot down by every frown they throw my way
I can see how the time does blow away on endless days
Every place I go there’s a moment that I put on a memory stick
Then I go back quick to travel through my mind so I can be living in the past
The moment’s here everyone is looking at me saying “quiet dear”
So let’s find a glass and raise it to our fears
I can see how the time does blow away on endless days
Every step I take is a little more
On the way to living a life that I can’t afford
To fuck up at the simplest task but I can’t change
Living in the past and I feel adored from every stranger popping up walking through my door
Then shot down by every frown they throw my way
I can see how the time does blow away on endless days
On endless days

Drinking Song

Another party and a drink
Not quite enough to stop me thinking about the way I feel today
Give me rum and give me wine
It just all tastes so sublime enough to get me off my face
I know it’s such a fatal flaw
But one that I adore
I’d never be without you
Give me more I’m dancing out the door
As another glass I pour
Another bar another drink
Not quite enough to stop me thinking about that way I feel today
Line up the shots and knock them back
Unworthy stares from all around enough to get you on my case
I know it’s such a fatal flaw
But one that I adore
I’d never be without you
Give me more I’m dancing out the door
As another glass I pour
Another home just one more drink
Not quite enough to stop me thinking about the way I feel today
One more bottle just in time
Now everything will feel just fine I’m never going to leave this place
I know it’s such a fatal flaw
But one that I adore
I’d never be without you
Give me more I’m lying on the floor
As you’re knocking at my door

Another Load Of Laundry

Leathered up lace boots
Big black tattoos
You make me cry then you’re going to die
Dandelion dreadlocks
Hanging out your dirty socks
They’re clean again thanks to me amen
Coarse dirty work hands
Touring with your stupid band
You go get high and throw me a lie
Beard wax moustache
Smoking through your dirty stash
I’m free again thanks to your green amen
A little white house with pale blue doors
Another load of laundry and I’ve cleaned the floors
I sit at home and I wait for you to come in again and a
Again

Leftovers

Beers down windy roads
This is a sideshow
Trying to find my way back home
Star-lit starry skies
Feeling good and feeling high
This place has got its own little vibe
This is my only way of feeling it
I must be stealing it from my other memories so
Pack my life into a hard-bound case
And find a place for leftover memories to go.
Which way should I turn
To the good or to the hurt
Don’t want what’s mine to crash and burn
Time’s up let’s go
Get on the boat and to my home
I hope my feelings didn’t show
This is my only way of feeling it
I must be stealing it from my other memories so
Pack my life into a hard-bound case
And find a place for leftover memories to go.

Devil's Dance

Your eyes they feast upon me
Disapproving of what I’ve done see
I am wasted and you don’t want me
Add a carriage to the pain I won’t be left like this again
Pack my bags and I’ll be on my way
You’ll regret this day
Take my hand and I will show you how
We do this my way now
Dance ‘til devils find the dead of day
Dance ‘til devils find the sun
I’m with you now
I’m with you ‘til the morning comes
Comes back around so hush my dear don’t make a sound
She looks upon his shadow
Hiding her children from her crazed beau
Disapproving of what she’s done though
I’ve given all I’ve had to give
I’ve had enough I want to live
Pack my bags and I’ll be on my way
You’ll regret this day
Take my hand and I will show you how
We do this my way now
Dance ‘til devils find the dead of day
Dance ‘til devils find the sun
I’m with you now
I’m with you ‘til the morning comes
Comes back around so hush my dear don’t make a sound

Tangled Lies
03:21
|
|

Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
Caught between the devil and the sky
Trying to live my life with love and ecstasy
Trying to ask a million reasons why
Caught red-handed selling love to other men
And now I’ve gone and spun a tangled web
Welcome to a life I weave of lies in my head
None of which I live to regret
Hanging by a thread and then I see your face
Then I go and burn it to the ground
Trying hard to leave you then I call your name
Trying hard to never make a sound
Holding on to secrets that I cannot keep
And now I’ve gone and done it all again
Welcome to a life I weave of lies in my head
None of which I live to regret
Be a man now and grow up my dear
You don’t have to live your life in fear
Have another drink it’ll give us time to think
And give us time to do it all again
As I’m taken by the drink the more I give away
I don’t know why I gave it all to you
I promise to behave in the light of day
I find it hard to say I love you too
I understand you’re taken well then so am I
You never even stopped to say goodbye
Welcome to a life I weave of lies in my head
None of which I think are a lie

Ormer God

Deep in the cave where I store my gold
Where the walls are weathered, and the story is told
In the land of smugglers drunks and thieves
There’s a deep-sea creature who’s hard to please
Deep at the bottom of the cave’s seabed
If you don’t look now he’ll have your head
The creature of this story told
Is an octopus that guards the gold
Waves as high as mountain tops
We weave between the jagged rocks
Past the castle on the sea
A man out here can feel so free
I see the entrance to his cave
Upon the beast I stare and I gaze
Sargia my dear old friend
Take my hand and don’t look back again
You’ve taken me once or twice before
But now I
Ormer God he’s out to get me
Ormer God he’s a creature from the deep
Ormer god the bow is breaking cave is shaking
Cor damme lar eh
I venture deep within the cave
I see my gold I need to save
My foe the beast is closing in
It’s time to fight and claim my win
As he rises up from out the deep
Convinced he’ll give me endless sleep
The time has come for me to fight
It must be mine it’s in my sight
He scales the walls within the cave
He strikes the sea creating waves
My boat he wraps his limbs around
Emits the most ungodly sound
With one foul swoop I hit him down
Grab my gold I’m homeward bound
Sargia my dear old friend
Take my hand and don’t look back again
You’ve taken me once or twice before
But now I
Ormer God he’s out to get me
Ormer God he’s a creature from the deed
Ormer god the bow is breaking cave is shaking
Cor damme lar eh

I’m the creature you let into your bed
I’m the demon that takes over your head
Bright orange hair and eyes glowing red
I’m the creature you let into your bed
Fall in love with me and I’ll make a fool of you
Fall in love with me and you’re going to fall
Fall in love with me and I’ll make a fool of you
Fall in love with me I’m no fool
I’m the creature you let into your bed
I’m the demon that takes over your head
Bright orange hair and eyes glowing red
I’m the creature you let into your bed
Fall in love with me and I’ll make a fool of you
Fall in love with me and you’re going to fall
Fall in love with me and I’ll make a fool of you
Fall in love with me I’m no fool

Whiskey Smile

Pull up a stool and sit at the bar
You wink at me from afar
Tobacco smile and your whiskey lips
Another drink then throw in the tips
Your beer-soaked boots and your bowler hat
We find a well then throw in the cat
And now you’re falling
Down down down for me
Whiskey smile
Gypsy lies
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Whiskey smile
Gypsy lies
Down down down with you
We part ways in the dead of night
And now I wait until you’re out of sight
You’re going to keel babe you’re going to choke
I’d shout your name but you’re just a joke
I like the thrill of the chase
I captured you because you’re just a waste
And now you’re falling
Down down down with me
Whiskey smile
Gypsy lies
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Whiskey smile
Gypsy lies
Down down down with
I turn the corner and I follow you
All night I’ve known exactly what I’m going to do
You turn around and you begin to freeze
I raise my daggered heel and you fall to your knees
You beg for mercy I cry more more more
You’re going down down down
For sure
Whiskey smile
Gypsy lies
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Whiskey smile
Gypsy lies
Down down down with you

Grandmother's Gloves

A row of fur coats in her closet
Grandma is coming home
She’s got her leather shoes and her lockets
Her husband begins to moan
Grandma you look so pretty to me
Grandma why don’t you take out your teeth
Grandma Grandma
Purple leather pheasant’s feather
Grandmother’s gloves
Puts in her hairspray and lights a cigarette
Grandma rolls up to church
She takes a back pew and pretends to pray
She’s given up the search
Grandma you look so pretty to me
Grandma why don’t you take out your teeth
Grandma Grandma
Purple leather pheasant’s feather
Grandmother’s gloves
