Out there in the desert air Penguin meets the polar bear Hey ho pilgrim Light the precious flame Burning Man with flames for eyes Burning Man lights up the skies Hey ho pilgrim Anarchy's the game And I'll care for you For a day or two Strangers meeting in th...

I was under the Calvary Cross The pale-faced lady, she said to me "I've watched you with my one green eye And I'll hurt you til you need me" You scuff your heels and you spit on your shoes Oh, you do nothing with reason One day you catch a train Oh, you never...

I started to cry, they put gin in my cup I started to crawl, and they swaddled me up I got up and run, they said "Easy, son, Play up, play the game" They told me to think and forget what I'd heard They told me to lie and they questioned my word They told me t...

Here I am in your room going through your stuff Said you'd be gone five minutes, that's time enough Here in your drawer there's lacy things Old credit cards and beads and bangles and rings But I think I've found what I'm looking for Hidden away at the back of...

Well, there's a house in an alley In the squats and low-rise Of a town with no future But that's where my future lies It's a secret, but no secret It's a rule, but no rule Where you find the darkest avenue There you'll find the brightest jewel Now my name, i...

Was a cowboy I knew in south Texas, His face was burnt deep by the sun, Part history, part sage, part mesquit, He was there when Poncho Villa was young. And he'd tell you a tale of the old days, When the country was wild all around, Sit out under the stars...

Love that holds its breath for fear Of scaring love away I rush my lines, I care too deeply Oh, will she keep me for idle games? I raise my eyes to see her there Shining in a daydream I raise my eyes, I see too much I know her touch, what her touch would mean...

Broken glass, a broken chair Lamp hangs by a thread Scattered pages, spattered walls Mayhem on the bed Peace is gone and love is gone and Darkness wins the day A soul is torn away A soul is torn away A crumpled shirt a hank of hair A shoe print made of blood...

Out in the desert there's a soldier lying dead Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head Another day that could have been me there instead Nobody loves me here Nobody loves me here Dad's Gonna Kill Me Dad's Gonna Kill Me You hit the booby trap and you...

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The summer's gone, and all the roses falling, Tis you, tis you must go and I must bide. Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down...

Don't go walking down Chapel Street Down Chapel Street they'll jump you Cut your throat as soon as give you the eye Those wholesome girls down Chapel Street They need some place to move their feet Before they soothe you with a lullaby At Bridie's place the m...

By Devonside she was a-marching It was a gang of no great size And surrender was the banner that she carried And hungry was the shiver in her eyes She met a boy, his health was failing She dropped the banner and took her prize And the only food she had was br...

This old house is falling down around my ears I'm drowning in a river of my tears When all my will is gone you hold me sway I need you at the dimming of the day You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide You know just where I keep my better side What days h...

When the party hit full swing I saw you come reeling in You had that six-pack in a stranglehold Now you stagger, now you sway Why don't you fall the other way Cause I've got something here Worth more than gold I said "Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands Don't sit o...

That gorilla you're dancing with May not have too long to live He's putting his hands in the wrong places It's time to rearrange his face He's gonna dance with me instead And I'm gonna tap dance on his head Don't tempt me, don't tempt me, don't tempt me I'm h...

See the boys out walking The boys they look so fine Dressed up in green velvet Their silver buckles shine Soon they'll be bleary-eyed Under a keg of wine Down where the drunkards roll Down where the drunkards roll See that lover standing Staring at the ground...

Big Mac, small mac, burger and fries Sheve 'em in boxes all the same size Easy on the mustard, heavy on the sauce Double for the fat boy eats like a horse Fry them patties and send 'em right through Microwave oven going to fry me too Can't lose my job by getti...
