Vincent, will you teach me how to paint?
Teresa, will I ever be a saint?
John, I really think your songs are great
I was born too late
William, will you teach me how to write?
Cassius, will you show me how to fight?
Thomas A., I think I see the light
I was born tonight
I've had a hard time leaving this town
I've been losing everything that I've found
I'm gonna search the sky
Kiss the ground
Build it up and tear it back down
I've had a hard time leaving this place
I've been counting all the lines on my face
I'm gonna curse the sky
Hit the ground
What goes up comes tumbling down
Jimmy, show me how you play that thing
Elvis, will I ever be a king?
Jerry, all the joy and life you bring
I was born to sing
Martin Luther King, show me the way
Jesus, Buddha, teach me how to pray
Christopher, I think I see the bay
I was born today
"Hi and Lo" by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies
It would be nice to hear from you
you must be better than
When you used to call me for advice
All drunk and sad at 4 AM
We both have lost our girlfriends
but our sense of humor never
In the summer we saved each other's lives
by hanging out together
Chorus:
I've been high, but mostly low
A lifelong lodger on the bitter road
But I like mine to shine like gold
The darkest hour turns brighter than a rose
The memories I still lean on
in the current haze I'm in
When we were so down, we'd toast the town
Like two black-hearted Irishmen
I don't settle things with booze, like I did for years
There's a guy that I still care about
in the stories that I hear
Chorus
We didn't get much further than a shoebox for a home
And our mattresses are gray with years
Of passing out in our street clothes
Now the hard times are behind us, so let's not be alone
And the bottom line, and this is mine
Dammit, we both got a phone
Chorus
"Boston and St. John's" by Great Big Sea
"The Night Pat Murphy Died" by Great Big Sea
Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died
Was a night I'll never forget
Some of the boys got loaded drunk
And they ain't got sober yet
Well, as long as the bottle was passed around
Every man was feeling gay
O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play
Chorus:
That's how we showed our respect for Paddy Murphy
That's how we showed our honor and our pride
They said it was a sinning shame
And we winked at one another
And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died
As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner, pouring out her grief
Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street
They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole
And put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold
Chorus
At two o'clock in the morning, after emptying the jug
Doyle rose up the icebox lid to see poor Paddy's mug
It stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time
And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine
Chorus
Well, we stopped the hearse on George Street outside (?)'s Saloon
We all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon
We went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime
Found out when we got there, we'd left the corpse behind
Chorus
Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died
Was a night I'll never forget
Some of the boys got loaded drunk
And they ain't got sober yet
Well, as long as the bottle was passed around
Every man was feeling gay
O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play!
Chorus
Girl, don't tell me that it's morning
Can we keep the curtains drawn?
Haven't given you fair warning
But our ship, she sails at dawn
Chorus:
And it's true I must be going, but I swear it won't be long
There isn't that much ocean between Boston and St. John's
I'm a rover, and I'm bound to sail away
I'm a rover...can you love me anyway?
And if some suitor comes a-courting
Will you let him through your door?
And what if I return half broken
Will you still love me anymore?
Chorus
Close your eyes and dream
And tell me what you see
Tell me what you want
Just tell me that you'll wait for me
And oh, girl don't tell me that it's morning
Can we keep the curtains drawn?
I haven't given you fair warning
But our ship, she sails at dawn
Chorus
I'm a rover...can you love me anyway?
"Here's to the Night" by Eve 6
So denied
So I lied
Are you the now or never kind?
In a day
And a day, love
I'm gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing
To be had?
Are you cool with just tonight?
Here's a toast
To all those who hear me all too well
Chorus:
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Put your name
On the line
Along with place and time
Wanna stay
Not to go
I wanna ditch the logical
Here's a toast
To all those
Who hear me all too well
Chorus
Bridge:
All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go
Here's a toast
To all those who know me all too well
Chorus (repeat twice)
Everything's so blurry
And everyone's so fake
And everybody's empty
And everything is so messed up
Pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl
You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I'll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what you're doing
Imagine where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far
Chorus:
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
When you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
When you shoved it in my face
Everyone is changing
There's no-one left that's real
To make up your own ending
And let me know just how you feel
'Cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl
You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I will save you
From all of the unclean
I wonder what you're doing
I wonder where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far
Chorus
Nobody told me what you thought
Nobody told me what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Told you where to run away
Nobody told you where to hide
Nobody told you what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Showed you where to run away
Chorus
You take it all
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me
You take it all away
This pain you gave to me
Take it all away
This pain you gave
This pain you gave
Will I wake up
Is it a dream I made up?
No I guess it's reality
What will change us
Or will we mess up
Only chance to connect
With the dream
Say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me
I'm buried by the sound
Of a world of human wreckage
In a world of human wreckage
In a world of human wreckage
When I'm lost and I'm found
And I can't touch the ground
I'm plowed into the sound
To see wide open
With a head that's broken
Hang a life on some tragedy
Plow me under the ground that covers
The message that is the seed
Say a prayer for me...(etc)
(Chorus to end)
"The End is the Beginning is the End" by the Smashing Pumpkins
The sewers belch me up
The heavens spit me out
From ethers tragic I am born again
And now I'm with you now
Inside your world of wow
To move in desires made of deadly pretends
Till the end times begin
Chorus:
Is it bright where you are?
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange?
And in your darkest hour
I hold secret flame
You can watch the world devoured in its pain
Strange
Climb my ribcage too
The replays run for you
Unhook my lights to peek behind the flash
For I am crystal chrome
And I am shattered dome
I am Kremlin king of angels avenged
To destroy the end
Chorus
The zeppelins rain upon us
The guns of love disastrous
A shadow lies amongst you
To defy the future cast
Chorus to end
