Everything That Could Went Wrong 03:10
lyrics
buy track
I’m only satisfied when I am unsatisfied I’m only truly at peace when I am waging total war But now the current year is not like the last year We’ll do our patriotic duty watching TV at home It’s our "fall of Rome". The newscaster said that the war would go on, after all. Everything that could went wrong They said sincerely that we’d have this wrapped up by fall Everything that could went wrong And it was all a con Yeah it was all a con Yeah it was all a con They shut the doors on your favourite restaurant They say it’s not permanent but we all know whose side their on And now this current year just seems like a lifetime We’ll do our democratic duty when they open the polls A hundred million souls The newscaster said that the war would go on after all Everything that could went wrong They said sincerely that we’d have this wrapped up by fall Everything that could went wrong And it was all a con Yeah it was all a con Yeah it was all a con I say what I mean And I mean what I say I need you tomorrow I need you today The patience I don’t have You know that I do try "I know, I know." The newscaster said that the war would go on after all Everything that could went wrong They said sincerely that we’d have this wrapped up by fall Everything that could went wrong And it was all a con Yeah it was all a con Dare say they led us on

St. Louis Light 04:04
lyrics

Saturday's a double feature Then the promises of the night Maybe drinking in the bleachers We'll be feeling alright Counterfeit stars or headlights of cars Nobody knows what they are I'll leave when the night is falling Meet me where the railroad ends The St. Louis Light is calling On rumours and whiskey breath With a bootleg of Revolver There's a quickening of your heart On our backs behind the bleachers Waiting for something to start Counterfeit stars or headlights of cars Nobody knows what they are I'll leave when the night is falling Meet me where the railroad ends The St. Louis Light is calling On rumours and whiskey breath When the wind is right you can smell the stills Blowing away over the hills When the wind is right you can smell the stills Blowing away over the hills I'll leave when the night is falling (When the wind is right you can smell the stills) Meet me where the railroad ends (Blowing away over the hills) The St. Louis Light is calling (When the wind is right you can smell the stills) On rumours and whiskey breath Blowing away Blowing away Blowing away Blowing away

We Need A Song To Drive To 03:52
lyrics

You're taking it way too hard Make up your mind I've said it a number of times Avert your eyes This is the part of the book where the hero dies We need a song to drive to now Or take me out back and sort me out Maybe The Stones or Lightfoot It could be The Cure We need a song to drive to now And if you saw yourself in me, would you disagree? That the mirror is all you see We're hanging on by a thread The words we said Get tied into nets in my head A sentence of spiderwebs Catching inside The things that we tried to disguise or left unsaid We need a song to drive to now Or take me out back and sort me out Maybe The Stones or Lightfoot It could be The Cure We need a song to drive to now And if you saw yourself in me, would you disagree? That the mirror is all you see We need a song to drive to now Or take me out back and sort me out Maybe The Stones or Lightfoot It could be The Cure We need a song to drive to now

Such A Wonderful Girl 02:39
lyrics
buy track
Dead eyes Sad lies And after dinner how her parents would sigh: "She used to be such a wonderful girl. We gave her everything / we wished her the world. Maybe we didn't give her enough, oh — what's the word? Positive reinforcement A childhood without incident and then this lands on our doorstep Please don't tell the neighbours a thing." Mistakes were made With a razor blade Then that conspicuous drop in her grades "She used to sit at the front of the class. All those enlightening questions she'd ask. Maybe we didn't give her enough, oh — what's it called? Mental stimulation We should have listened better, should have taken more vacations Please don't tell the neighbours a thing." And no, no we won't let it go Dead eyes Sad lies Such a wonderful girl Such a wonderful girl
