Hey now, Old Man, you don't sit down to die.
You're the salt of the land and the coal of the fire.
Decent to dine in a world full of the finer things,
inside to go but you find yourself leaving.
Again it's the same, heart's all to blame.
Damn that denial, just live for desire.
Again it's the same, time now to bring,
oh it's time now to sing, time now to play for the King.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sit up above you,
dressed in that blue there again.
Down in that bit of the love
to save all the sons they are spent.
Down in there, ain't nobody trying after the dying again.
Down in there, ain't nobody bringing the song they were singing
so look like the King there now is just killing again.
Inside all them books and learning,
words of burden ah now all till, whoa now all till it comes to an
inside all them fables turning, learn so certain,
ah now all till, all till it comes to the
curtains all in now, ah when to needle the light and so.
Blocking, saying, all them praying,
all that running to needle the light and so
blocking the way, saying it's time to pray,
ah when to needle the light and so
gonna get it come down and listen to this then it's ending.
String up the needle the light and so, needle the light and so
needle the light and so go.
Hey now Old Man, say you're cooked by the sun.
The dirt is your pan and the dinner is done.
Sold out of final denials and then, it's something like sundown,
cold to the end.
Against the wall, pistol and fall,
cheering so near saw him beg for it all.
Again it's the wall, bring on the call.
It's time now to sing, time now to play for the King.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sit up above you,
look down to judge you again.
Down in that, oh that hole up above,
need all the light has been spent.
Down in there, ain't nobody trying after the dying again.
Down in there, ain't nobody bringing the song they were singing
so look like the King there now is just killing again.

Just Wait A Minute
03:06
|
|||
|
Spending all day under the sun,
walking in the yard of what been dead and done.
And to say with a please,
put it in your pocket before somebody sees.
But oh just wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,
you got your sound and that's all, that's all.
Someday sounds will fall.
And the sanity go, put it in your pocket before nobody knows.
And they dollar will say, looking down on lovers
but you're looking the same.
Oh just wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,
you got your love and that's all,
someday love will fall.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,
you got your love and that's all, that's all, that's all.
Someday love will fall.
But it didn't get up running in all the way,
settle it all right down.
Now we needed the love or it all would break,
settle it all right now.
Now we're sitting in gold and it always goes,
it always goes away.
And now we're trying to hold what'll always go.
Yeah, it'll always go.
Spending all night under the ghost,
walking in the city there where nobody knows.
Yeah, up of ten in a day,
everybody watching but nobody playing.
Oh just wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,
you got your time and that's all,
someday time will fall.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,
you got your time and that's all, that's all, that's all.
Someday time will fall.
Wait a minute, you never did it,
you're settling in, but you don't say all is on. (repeat)

Sari
04:26

|
Well I'm bad into the day, but my name is Sari.
Gotta tell it on the way, get in or get down.
But it isn't just the same, and then it's a sound.
My name is Sari, get in or get down.
Then to see they need it so loud.
Now Mama, it's a dirty, dirty get down.
Under things I needed to claim,
never said I love this game.
But long since cut them trees are falling,
don't go in low in oh, my my my.
In a minute it's a cinematic classic calling
all the names they found down there on the wire
on the wire, on the wire, on the wire, on the wire.
Send another ditty along in it all,
whoa it's just an innocent song.
But not about to say that I need, need it all,
need, need it all all along.
What isn't it? I wasn't listening and it's gone.
Whoa, it's just a familiar song.
But isn't it a lot of getting on, getting on, getting on?
The finger's in the bowl oh and nobody knows.
The body's in the hole, gonna make it a home.
Send it all along with a song for the soul,
then go, then go, then go.
The head is in the sand and it's all in the eyes.
They eyes are driving land and they're thinking it's tired.
The land has got the dreams of rising above,
but what, but what does it love?
Ooooh... ooooh... ooooh...
You're gonna laugh when you see how bad is to you.
Run along and dance the truth and ask about the past you're losing.
You oughta laugh when the song and dance is to you.
Run along and ask the truth.
Pass the last of all that you are losing.
Ah now you are losing.
Well I'm bad into the day, but my name is Sari.
Gotta tell it on the way, get in or get down.
But it isn't just the same, and then it's a sound.
My name is Sari, get in or get down. (repeat)

Borderline
04:46
|
|||
|
Sittin' on the border, say
in a minute we'll all just run away from here, my dear, any day.
Sittin' on the border line,
inna minute it all so fine to fall away from here, my dear, anytime.
And to find it on an older ride, rocks fall and thenl they knock that life aside
to the sky, to the moon, to the sun to burn up what we done so soon.
And it do. Well, and it do
in a battle over border line,
mud rise and damn that thing called time.
We were living in the old cafe,
got our lives to go or maybe stay.
But buying a life from a catalogue-
the pages only turn the day.
Whoa the order form is sad but gone
and the dollar always making you pay.
Well, it making you pay.
Ah, you started it all,
but you're leaving love all the same,
leave it alone to sit at home there on the floor
Well you started to fall
but you're leaving love on the way,
leave it alone to sit there naked on the floor.
You started to fall,
you're leaving love all the same,
leave it alone.
Well you started to fall
you're leaving love all the way
to believe in a song.
But there is a long note you can hold if you just want to be alone.
leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone....
Won't you leave it alone like a folded dollar on the floor,
like a dog with teeth can't hold no more,
Well you leave it alone.
Cause them lies don't play, doop dap doop dap doop dap
do ya gotta let go?
Listen lonely, listen all them lies don't play,
Sit there, sit there, sit there all but in your window
Mrs. Lonely, Mrs. Lonely Day.
Mrs. Lonely Day, Mrs. Lonely Day, Mrs. Lonely Day... (repeat)

No Guns In London
04:36
|
|||
|
Sittin' in the square with the corners old and breaking.
Maybe don't know where but midnight is the day to take it.
Soon an alley shine with a quick bright light
just makin' all the lines for the day to find and
take a valley climb as the crimson dries there on the pavement.
Step to the side where the help don't come,
cause everyone's doing something.
A killer's paradise where no one runs
cause there ain't no guns in London.
Naw, there ain't no guns in London.
Lyin' in the dirt on the other side of hurt and crazy.
Soon be bagged and burned as the case is heard with no waiting.
Doesn't mean a thing to the woman in the wings,
just blame it on the same as her fingers shakin'
underneath a ring and the rest of her won't make it.
She stepped to the sky when the help wouldn't run
cause everyone's doing something.
Living through the night when the love don't come
cause there ain't no guns in London.
No there ain't no guns in London.
Oh, but the bad don't care.
Barrel in the back
and then the powder in the air.
No one runs till the joy is done,
and the noise gone raced from there.
Now here's just a space from nowhere.
So lay down and go, while veil still shows the pain there.
Dollars for the toll over eyes long closed on their way there.
Pay for the hole to bury them bones
where the box don't let 'em go till the water and the stone
just share them as their own and hold them as they stay there.
Well they can't see the sky when the help don't run
cause everyone's doing something.
Waiting on the night when their love will come
cause there ain't no guns in London.
No, there ain't no guns in London.
No there ain't no guns in, there ain't no guns in,
there ain't no guns in London.

03:34
|
|||
|
Well it's back again to being alone
so get along from deep down places and
since then I been damning it all,
been told about cold temptation.
As long as it's on your mind,
yeah, you gonna worry bout all.
So wrong end then turns to right,
to Hell we're gonna fly when we fall.
But I ain't so tall as to see over your favorite trees,
they on and on and on.
Back again to being alone so
get along from deep down places and
since then I been damning it all,
been told about cold temptation.
Been holding on a little fun,
I try to run but no one's there to call
this the best we ever done
and no one cares at all.
As long as it's on your mind,
yeah you gonna worry but why?
As long as the night it'll go
we'll be everyone that nobody knows.
But I ain't so tall as to see over the broken walls,
they on and on and on and on.
Anna Lay, Anna Lay, well I loved most your sides
although you're low down dirty and
Anna Lay, Anna Lay, well I loved most your time
although you lied and hurt me and
and I say, and I say finally I feel finally I feel,
finally I feel fine.
Yeah, back again to being alone.
Get along from deep down places and
since then I been damning it all,
been told about cold temptation.
Been holding on a little fun,
I try to run but no one's there to call
this the best we ever done and no one cares at all.
As long as it's on your mind,
yeah you're gonna worry to go.
As long as the Hell it'll find, find us playing things that nobody knows.
But I ain't so high as to see over the broken sky.
It's on and on and on and on.

Out Of The Way
04:04
|

|
This fall maybe we go and find a little place
out of the way.
Then so lucky enough to hold you in that cold
we don't know our spaces.
We don't know breaking down.
We don't know breaking down.
Out of the way, out the way, out of the way now.
Well it been in at us so lately I don't know.
Never been sure.
With the big sounds
falling in love and then I just fall down.
We don't know our faces.
We don't know breaking down.
We don't know breaking down.
Out of the way, out of the way, out of the way now.
Oooh, build it all and go.
Build it all and go.
Build it all and go.
Build it all and go.
Now did I say, did I say, you put me to the ground?
I didn't say it loud, I didn't say it loud.
I'm gonna say it now, you put me to the ground.
You put me to the ground, ah Hell, I want some more.
Sitting down, sitting down, well it's the city or the floor.
Whoa the floor, whoa the floor, whoa the floor,
now I'll meet you on the floor (repeat)
We don't know what makes it.
We don't know breaking down.
We don't know breaking down.
Out of the way, out of the way, out of the way now.

Let It Go
05:22
|

|
Find an end now to showdowns,
oh but never say please.
And she's talking bout running out
well I'm saying that's all I see.
Got to sit down to lay now
better days in the shade
oh well she's talking bout running down
and I'm asking what does that mean?
Ah Hell, I'm breezing along but I don't want to take it
so let it go.
Sit in a ball, so close to breaking
don't let it show.
Riding alive but it's all for the better now,
Hearing the sighs and you know that you just gotta let her go.
Yeah, gotta let it go.
All the same for the ending;
y'all kill the night save the day.
She tells the answers to everything
but I never know what's she's saying.
Yeah so salt it along now.
Naw, there ain't nothing to save.
She telling I'll let it go
but I'm saying that's all I've made.
Ah Hell, I'm breezing along, I don't want to take it
so let it go.
Sit in a ball, now so close to breaking
don't let it show.
Riding alive but it's all for the better now,
Hearing the sighs and you know that you just gotta let her go.
Yeah, gonna let it go.
So I say now to lay down,
all on our broken bed.
There ain't never been sweeter sounds,
you're sleeping all inside my head.

Wayfaring Stranger
03:01
|
|||
|
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger.
Whoa, I'm traveling through this world below.
There is no sickness, no toil nor danger
in that bright land to which I go.
I'm going there to see my Father
and all my loved ones who've moved on.
Yes, I'm just going, I'm going over Jordan.
Now I'm just going, I'm just going over home.
I know dark clouds will gather round me.
i know my way, my way, my way is hard and steep.
But beauteous fields arise before me
where God redeems their vigils' keep.
I'm going back to see my Mother.
She said she'd meet me when I come.
So I'm just going over Jordan.
I'm just going, I'm just going over home.
Yes, I'm just going, well I'm going on over the Jordan.
Yes, I'm just going, I'm just going over home.
Yeah.

If You Look Ahead
03:30
|
|||
|
If you look ahead,
trouble comes.
We're poor in bed
and the end's begun.
Pass the pills and the Lord,
that's all we can afford here anymore.
If you look outside,
through the door,
ignore the pride from what's been done before
cause in trouble with the Lord
is what we can't afford, not anymore.
And as we rest, I hope
you'll have seen the best in me
wrinkled there as we sleep.
Just listen as I slowly breathe
and slowly leave.
Then you look behind
back at life
and you'll decide
if it's worth the time.
Oh the lucky and the poor,
that's what we'll be and more
it's so devine.
Oh I hope, I do,
I know you'll have shown the best in you,
side by side so soon,
just leaning on the rest of you.
So much to lose.
When you look ahead,
trouble comes,
we're poor in bed
and the end's begun.
Pass the pills and the Lord,
that's all we can afford here anymore.
Looks like comfort from the Lord
is all we can afford here anymore.
