Am I just gonna stand here
While you take my girl away
Or don’t I have something to say about it?
It’s not that I don’t care
To pull the strings in favour of me
But I could never ask you to love me
more
Am I just gonna stand here
While you take my girl away
Am I just gonna stand here
While you take my girl
A girl like you is a diamond
You’re like Lake Ontario whitecaps
I know I’m never gonna see that
Again
I don’t tell the leaves to fall
Don’t tell the sun to rise
I leave it to the wind and skies
To work it out
Am I just gonna stand here
While you take my girl away
Am I just gonna stand here
While you take my girl
I can sit in solitude
My head between my knees
the rain it soaks my jeans
but I'll be fine
Am I just gonna stand here
While you take my girl away
Am I just gonna stand here
While you take my girl away
Am I just gonna stand here
While you take my girl away
Am I just gonna stand here
While you take my girl away
Am I just gonna stand here
While you take my girl away
Am I just gonna stand here
While you take my girl

Why So Cruel
03:03
|
|||
I’m not your type
It’s a crying shame
It keeps me up at night
All these impending mistakes
I’m not your girl
But I could swallow up your world
I can see your point
As you’re walking away
But why so cruel
Why so cruel
Why so cruel
When you walk away
I play so nice
When I break the rules
But you’re as cold as ice
Now I’m a shivering fool
Did you punish me
For coming by it honestly
Oh, but honestly, I see
Why you walk away
But why so cruel
Why so cruel
Why so cruel
When you walk away
But why so cruel
Why so cruel
Why so cruel
When you walk away
Why so cruel
Why so cruel
Why so cruel
When you walk away
When you walk away
When you walk away
When you walk away

Four More Miles
03:02

There’s a 21st century hole in the ground and it’s shaped like you and it’s bringing me down
There’s a 22 caliber bullet in my head
And it’s full of the dirt from the lies that you spread
Fun with your money ‘till the market crashes
Fix all the glitches with taxes
Free is never free when you make the rent, boy
420 baby when the money's all been spent
There’s a 21st century hole in the ground
And it’s shaped like you and it’s bringing me down
One for the honeys
And 2 for the blow
3 you’re never ready for it
4 more miles to go…
La la la la la la la la la la
Oooh la la la la la la la la
There’s a 21st century hole in the ground and it’s shaped like you and it’s bringing me down
There’s a 22 caliber bullet in my head
And it’s full of the dirt from the lies that you spread
Another holiday that you call the weekend
Burning through your paycheck again
Taken to the cleaner’s sink another token
420 baby when your cold heart has been broken
There’s a 21st century hole in the ground
And it’s shaped like you and it’s bringing me down
One for the honeys
2 for the blow
3 you’re never ready for it
Four more miles to go
Oooh la la la la la la la la la la la (four more miles to go)
Oooh la la la la la la la la la la la (four more miles to go)
Oooh la la la la la la la la la la la (four more miles to go)

Seven Deadly Wins
02:48
|
|||
A day at the revival
I wear my Jimmy Choos
High as Jesus H
Hallucinating in the pews
Falling down with fever
Crawling through the dirt
My heavenly father
Gonna make it hurt
Sugar on my lips
Helps the medicine go down
Seven deadly sins
Gonna drink my medicine down
Midnight redemption
I wear my pleather skirt
Daddy’s little demon
Shaking bones up from the earth
Come on, won’t you save me
I suffer for your truth
I’m a good missionary
When I’m feasting on the fruit
Sugar on my lips
Helps the medicine go down
Seven deadly sins
Gonna drink my medicine down
Midnight corruption
Whispered in tongues
Licking my lips
The heaving of lungs
Oh, heavenly vessel
Exorcise my soul
Find my inner demon
Make me lose control
Seven deadly sins
Seven deadly sins
Seven deadly sins
Seven deadly
Seven deadly sins
Seven deadly sins
Seven deadly sins
Seven deadly sins
Sugar on my lips
Helps the medicine go down
Seven deadly sins
Gonna drink my medicine down

Play It Safe
03:13
|
|||
Every little thing that I’m thinking of
Every single lie that I trace
Every conversation
Defying every look on your face
Something ‘bout the way
That the pieces fall
Something ‘bout the way that they break
I could reconsider
But baby I’m in love with the pain
Oh, play it safe
Oh, play it sane
I’ll behave, if you do
Tell me ‘bout the time of your broken heart
Lay down on the floor like a dog
Tell me all your secrets
Baby I’ll keep playing along
When I get to thinking I’ve a lot to lose
Spilling it all over the floor
Slipping on confessions
Until the linoleum sparkles
Oh, play it safe
Oh, play it sane
I’ll behave, if you do
Oh, play it safe
Oh, play it sane
I’ll behave, if you do
Oh, I get tired of making faces
I’m on the brink of emotional suicide
And I will take you down with me
Oh, play it safe
Oh, play it sane
I’ll behave, if you do
Oh, play it safe
Oh, play it sane
I’ll behave, if you do

Man of War

Sometimes the good lord
Comes as a Man of War
Sometimes the good lord
Comes as a Man of War
Preacher, preacher can’t you save my soul
I send you money and I, I’ll send you more
To keep my mind in a state of elation
Hold for ransom, the heart of a nation
Sometimes the good lord
Comes as a Man of War
Sometimes the good lord
Comes as a Man of War
Teacher, teacher I see Jesus and Mary
What’s in your mind when your head is buried
Pro position or the will of the lord
Live and die by a double edged sword?
Good lord
Good lord
Sometimes the good lord
Comes as a Man of War
Sometimes the good lord
Comes as a Man of War
Dear leader, oh your colours are showing
Bloody orange when the sunset’s glowing
True believers, yeah they got your back
You hold your nose when the money’s all black
Sometimes the good lord
Comes as a Man of War
Sometimes the good lord
Comes as a Man of War
Sometimes the good lord
Comes as a Man of War
Sometimes the good lord
Comes as a Man of War
Sometimes the good lord
Comes as a Man of War
Sometimes the good lord
Comes as a Man of War

Fade Into You
04:33
|
|||
I wanna hold the hand inside you
I wanna take the breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without of home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

Please, Maria
03:23
|

I should be good
I should move on
I should be over it
But you’re colder than the war
Between the Soviets
So I drink and
I get sad and
Try somebody new
But you follow me around
The way you used to do
Oh my mind is haunted by you
Please Maria, can’t I see ya
One more time before
You ghost this scene
Now you’re gone
But I’m still kicking
Up the avenues
Where we’d stop
And get a drink
And share the latest blues
I’d get talking ‘bout the stuff
That eats a brain like mine
While your eyes they keep a rollin’
‘Till the end of time
Oh my mind is haunted by you
Please Maria, can’t I see ya
One more time before
You ghost this scene
I should be good
I should move on
I should be over it
But you’re colder than the war
Between the Soviets
So I drink and
I get sad and
Try somebody new
But you follow me around
The way you used to do
Oh my mind is haunted by you
Please Maria, can’t I see ya
One more time before
You ghost this scene
Please Maria, can’t I see ya
One more time
one more time
one more time before
You ghost this scene

Sometimes Amy

I need some relief from the tyranny of your love
I need some relief from the tyranny of your love
Here we go again, waist deep in the mire
Gets under your clothes, weighs your body down
There’s nothing to say, the sounds have all been made
Requiem in B is sad, fills my head again and again
I need some relief from the tyranny of your love
I need some relief from the tyranny of your love
Sometime Amy
This is not a test, I don’t need to know
Everywhere you go, everyone you do, I told you
I need some relief from the tyranny of your love
I need some relief from the tyranny of your love
I need some relief from the tyranny of your love
Sometimes Amy
Did I have you, did you have me
Can we still have each other
Sometimes Amy
Sometimes Amy
Sometimes Amy
Sometimes Amy

Strike Me Down
03:36
|
|||
Oooh
Oooh
Bite my tongue
Play it straight
We’re so young
But we’re too pretty to wait
The girls all think they’re something
Playing by the rules
But I’m your partner in crime
I’m your suffering fool
You got lucky, I got lost
I’m the chattel, you’re the boss
I’m just waiting for the lightning to strike me down
You’ve been preaching to the choir
There’s no burning without fire
Strike me down
Strike me down
Oooh
Oooh
People talk
Talk, talk, talk
Words sound good
As they bypass a thought
The silence reigns
The trial adjourned
But the warmth of the fire
Begets the sting of the burn
You got lucky, I got lost
I’m the chattel, you’re the boss
I’m just waiting for the lightning to strike me down
You’ve been preaching to the choir
There’s no burning without fire
Strike me down
Strike me down
Strike me down
Strike me down
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
