BOUGHT

The moon was dark that night the river could not speak

When I danced with you I felt my knees get weak

When you held my hand sparks began to fly

You left me wondering as to a reason why

 

(CHORUS)

Little did I know, little had I thought

That I would lead a life

That can't be caught

Can't be taught

Can't be bought

 

Oh just to be alone with you

There where dreams they really do come true

Where we live in our self made paradise

Oh lordy, lordy, lordy how'd life ever get so nice

REPEAT CHORUS

Just the touch of you sets my heart ablaze

When your eyes meet mine I'm lost in their maze

When I'm with you, you become my crutch

I never thought I could love someone other than myself

quite this much

REPEAT CHORUS

 

STRANGE IDEAS

Well I got half a mind to give you half of my mind now

Well you ain't gonna like it but I'll give it to you anyhow

You better keep your head up or they're gonna get you down

Where else do you think that you're gonna go in this town

 

(CHORUS)

You got strange ideas

Strange ideas in your head

 

It ain't easy when it ain't easy that's what I say

And I can't seem to look at it any other way

And I feel like I'm sitting on judgement day

It ain't easy when it ain't easy that's what I say

REPEAT CHORUS

Well one more time for one more time once more

I keep one eye on the pistol the other one on the door

And I feel like I'm sitting on judgement day

It ain't easy when it ain't easy that's what I say

REPEAT CHORUS

 

DEVIL EYES

Well if you see her coming walkin' down the line

Don't tell her nothing just say I'm doin' fine

Don't be deceived cause she looks so young

She got a cute face and a sailors tongue

Don't tell her the truth but don't tell her no lies

She got the devil in her eyes

 

She knew what she wanted and how to get there

I was a lonesome traveller a little worse for the wear

It didn't take long for her to show her cards

Quitting her was easy, loving her was hard

Don't tell her the truth but don't tell her no lies

She got the devil in her eyes

 

If you see her coming back round these days

Don't ya give her nothing cause she ain't changed her ways

Still a double talker wearing a new disguise

Still got the devil in her eyes

 

HER LOVE'S A GARDEN

Sometimes I find I can't hesitate

And other times I wrapped up in debate

There's a girl I just can't seem to understand

Never plays her cards keeps a hidden hand

Got a little of nothing

And a touch of everything

 

 

Well I kiss her and say how much I care

Then she tells me babe awe baby you ain't playing fair

She smiles at me and I can see her face a glow

Our eyes they meet and the heavens say it must be so

A little of nothing

A touch of everything

 

Her love's a garden that I tend and keep

She guards herself and we keep her plants healthy and deep

Wishin' on a star our love it catches it rays

Her love's a garden, her love's a garden that I'd plow for days

A little of nothing

And a touch of everything

 

TOSS IT AROUND

You know I'd give anything

Just to carve out life with you

There ain't nothing more divine

Than to catch a glimpse of you

 

(CHORUS)

Well I give you my love, give you my love X2

But you toss it around, toss it around

I give you my love and you toss it around

 

Love can be a fragile thing

Something that you can't ignore

Lately those words start to ring

As you're walking out the door

REPEAT CHORUS

You know I'd give anything

Just to carve out life with you

There ain't nothing more divine

Than to catch a glimpse of you

REPEAT CHORUS

 

LET'S GO TO SPACE

I got an idea it could be lots of fun

Let's take a vacation under the sun

You name the time, I got the place

Let's go to space

 

Well we'll make memories that will forever last

Hanging out with you is always a blast

You name the time, I got the place

Let's go to space

 

We can make our rules

We can make our own road

We'll exchange letters in a secret code

You name the time, I got the place

Let's go to space

 

LITTLE THINGS

Well I'm done doing the little things

When I get nothing but guff in return

Well I'm done doing the little things

When I get nothing but guff in return

By how many times this has happened

By now I guess I shoulda learned

 

You can go run around your mouth babe

Run around tell lies if that's your game

You can go run around town baby

Spreadin' lies if that's your game

Cause what you do unto me baby

Someday someone's gonna do unto just the same

 

Now you may cast some heavy voodoo

But I got a little mojo too

Now you may cast some heavy voodoo

But I got a little mojo too

Gonna bring back my 2nd cousin

He got that sweet lil John the Conqueror root

 

Well I'm done doing the little things

When I get nothing but guff in return

Well I'm done doing the little things

When I get nothing but guff in return

By how many times this has happened

By now I guess I shoulda learned

 

TOO FAR GONE

I've got a feelin' I'm not the only one

I'm sick of reason it always comes undone

Tired of life in a box is this the way it should be

Can't find the urge now I've got to be set free

 

I'm tired of playing a game I've already lost

And each night I lay awake wondering what will be the cost

 

(CHORUS)

Yea am I too far gone

She I'm gone I don't wanna return

Yea am I too far gone

Am I too far gone

Am I too far gone...again

 

Lately I have pushed too much thought in my brain

Sometimes I get so crazy

Sometimes you know I go insane

 

I live miles away and write things I never say

My mind it wanders too much

And me feelings always starting to sway

REPEAT CHORUS

 

MUSKRAT FALLS

What's goin' on

At Muskrat Falls

Tell me brother Hynes

What's goin' on

Down at Muskrat Falls

 

What's goin' on

What's goin' down

At Muskrat Falls

Preach it brother Mike

On the CBC

What's going on

Down at Muskrat Falls

 

What's goin' on

At Muskrat Falls

Preach it brother Mike

Preach it brother Hynes

What's goin' on

Down at Muskrat Falls

 

FAKE

 On that cold windy day when your future was decided

When you stepped on to the bus there was no denying

You promised yourself that you'd never look back

You promised yourself that you'd never go back

Hollywood's falling one

Hollywood's falling star

 

I tried to extend my hand but you just pushed it away

Junkie takes another pill helps to forget another day

Now you're too tired to go on with the show

You're engine's outta gas and you can't go

Hollywood's falling one

Hollywood's falling star

 

Hollywood's falling one

Hollywood's falling star

Fake!!!

 

 

GRAB THE BULL BY THE HORNS

We're telling you kid that you never realized

We're telling you kid you never apologize

You're only gonna do what you did before

You've gone too far but I can take some more

Ya I see you when you're coming round

Grab the bull by the horns X3

And throw it to the ground

 

Make up yer head before it unloads

Destiny is a part of a sacred code

Plow your cart over a graveyard of stars

Dig up yer bones and take em to the bars

Ya I see you when you're coming round

Grab the bulls by the horns X3

And throw it to the ground

 

We're telling you straight that we don't want you hanging around

We're telling you straight that we don't want you coming around

You're only gonna do just like you did before

You've gone too far but I can take some more

That's what you say

I smell ya when you're coming around

Grab the bull by the horns X3

And take it to the ground

 

GREYBEARD

The wheels are slowly turning

You've got no way of relearning

Things forgot are often best that way

Come hellfire and confessions

Come reward or concessions

It's hard to keep the dogs at bay

For Greybeard

 

You gotta find solutions to all the disillusions

That keep creepin' round your every move

On the edge of separation comes the lady of temptation

Just what does she thinks she's gonna prove to you...Greybeard

 

There's too much pain and sorrow why worry about tomorrow

When the roll is called up yonder you're gonna be there

You can run but never hide from the demon inside

For only death decides the when and the where

You don't care do ya Greybeard

 

But for now you've found a lover you wouldn't trade for no other

How sweet life can sometimes be

With your mind you tease her and with your body you please her

You leave her every time weak in the knees don't ya Greybeard
