Problems (free) 03:37
Problems Out for a stroll chanced upon the devil I said whaddayou know the original rebel Have to say he'd seen better days Nodded to me slowly and adjusted his shades Everyone knows that I'm a collector Billions of souls not counting defectors Business is booming but it's wearing me out Thinking bout letting go cause what's it all about All I hear are gripes and complaints It ain't what they got just what they ain't The fuel bill for the lake of fire It never goes down only keeps going higher Struck a match with his thumbnail Arched one eyebrow and twitched his forked tail I'll spruce things up then get out from under There's got to be something more than pillage and plunder (chorus) It don't matter If you come from money It don't matter if you're a star It don't matter if you're a king Yer gonna have problems no matter who you are Met Jesus shuffling on water Muttering something all about his father Met Jesus chugging some wine Telling me he felt at the end of the line Said, i'm so tired of being perfect I'm so tired of being so strict Gonna cut my hair and try a new style I'm gonna ditch these funky sandals and run a little wild See, heaven ain't cool and heaven ain't fun The suicide bombers are demanding refunds All the saints curry special favours And I'm up to my eyeballs in hungry alligators Betrayed by Judas nailed to a cross Like everybody knows I'm not the real boss I wanna take my name in vain Cause no one listens to a goddamn thing I say (chorus - swapping king for queen) It don't matter If you come from money It don't matter if you're a star It don't matter if you're a queen Yer gonna have problems no matter who you are Got together over a coffee The hellion holy one and little ol me Try a merger and work together You're competing for souls but this would be better Fresh blood some new ideas Hard work not a panacea Heaven or hell with nothing in between What folks want is a taste of both scenes (Chorus swapping queen for prince) See it don't matter If you come from money It don't matter if you're a star It don't matter if you're a prince Yer gonna have problems no matter who you are Hell could be a wild vacation Vegas on steroids and a crazy destination Chuck the harps relax the dress codes Electric guitars with all the comforts of home Yes the ideas started flying thick and fast Each new one was better than the last Both of them feeling refreshed and revived They had quite a lot in common and laughed at all the lies (chorus - swapping prince for king) See it don't matter If you come from money It don't matter if you're a star It don't matter if you're a king Yer gonna have problems no matter who you are Count on it It's what you do about em that counts Even if you are a Count Or a King, or Stephen King Queen Elizabeth or Prince Think Sir Lancelot had it easy Think again bub Tough Gig

I woke up this morning Could not believe my eyes One helluva stange situation Didn't know if I should laugh or to cry You see My blood was lime my hands were peach My mind was blank and I screeched The sky was green the sea was red The trees were blue and I said Someone's up to something new It can't be me so it must be you Let me cast the first stone Let me cast the last Let me cast suspicion on the dude in the looking glass Let me cast the first stone Let me cast the last Let me cast suspicion on the dude in the looking glass I looked up this morning I took a good look around But the world kept getting stranger Hard to keep my feet on the ground You see The sun was pink The grass was blue The moon was gold same as you Someone's up to something new It can't be me so it must be you Must be you Must be you - ohh - ohh - ohh - ohh you Let me cast the first stone Let me cast the last Let me cast suspicion on the dude in the looking glass Let me cast the first stone Let me cast the last Let me cast suspicion on the dude in the looking glass Break Let me cast the first stone Let me cast the last Let me cast suspicion on the dude in the looking glass Let me cast the first stone Let me cast the last Let me cast suspicion on the dude in the looking glass My blood was lime my hands were peach My mind was blank and I screeched Someone's up to something new It can't be me so it must be you Must be you Must be you

Biscuits and Honey - Wikiloops 806 Baer I said hey Whadayou say Why don't we ask the milkman if he'd like to play She said whoa Whadaya know So you think this is the way you'd like us to go I said hi Care for some pie Coconut cream fantasies up in the sky She said why Don't mind if I do Is this how they do it how they do it in Kalamazoo I said wait Don't slam the gate I had a glimpse of the future and it can't wait She said sonny Don't try and be funny Come on in to my parlour for biscuits and honey Slow as molasses and subtle as sunrise The universe is waiting to reveal another surprise Sweet as sugar cane and tart as a codger's tongue Cries of ecstasy mixed with tears when you've been stung I said sure But what is it for Take all you want but you'll only want more She said look You eat what you cook But stealing recipes don't make you a crook I said wait Don't slam the gate I had a glimpse of the future and it can't wait She said sonny Don't try and be funny Come on in to my parlour for biscuits and honey The sky you know it ain't falling But the world ain't gonna come calling You can hide away in your corner But you better not miss this warning You may not have noticed that I am your hostess The signs that are posted say keep off the grass Wolves at the door hounds on my heels Ride like the wind keep your foot on the gas Slow as molasses and subtle as sunrise The universe is waiting to reveal another surprise Sweet as sugar cane and tart as a codger's tongue Cries of ecstasy and tears when you've been stung I said wait Don't slam the gate I had a glimpse of the future and it can't wait She said sonny Don't try and be funny Come on in to my parlour come on in to my parlour for biscuits and honey

Keeping Score You got a little secret Well you got a little story Everybody says a prayer But no one's very sorry You're down on your knees And up on your button Cain't ever have enough If you come from nuthin (chorus) Someone's always keepin' score They wanna see you pay Someone's always keepin' score And awaitin' judgment day Someone's always keepin' score They wanna see you pay Someone's always keepin' score And awaitin' judgment day You're the toast of the town You're the life of the party You never turn down an invitation To sit down and parlay You know to keep em talking How to make em feel important And portraits of dead presidents Well, it's good to have an assortment Chorus Bridge And every single day you dream Of life on a secret island Where maybe you could getaway And listen to the silence Ooohooohooohooohhhhh Break An independent contractor Looking for benefactors You're watching your portfolio And ignoring your detractors Every man's the same They all wanna be adored The sex is always free You charge for being bored Chorus

Aeroplane Blues (free) 03:22
You'd cut off your nose To spite your face Were your own worst enemy Such a hard case Nobody knows why you filed a flight plan You cruised close to the sun no intention to land Send me the deadscrolls send me the clues Why don't you send me the cure For the aeroplane blues We mounted a rescue Searched night and day Combed the hills and the valleys and Began to pray Chorus Searching the heavens Watching the skies Looking for signs or a glimmer Waiting for your blue eyes Chorus

Storm (free) 02:27
When you gonna tell her all your secrets When you gonna tell her what you did When you gonna tell her where you keep it And everything you do to keep it fed If it ever comes to haunt you How you gonna knock it on the head If you led the horse to water Tell me how it wound it up dead Once upon a time it ran away Once upon a time it hid Once upon a time was long ago Now all the lights are red Everybody says you're gonna beat it Everybody says you're gonna win Everybody says you got the money The devil's on the sidelines with a grin Storm upon the ocean storm out on the sea The storm raging in your head that no one ever sees Storm upon the ocean storm out on the sea That storm is going to claim you for eternity Half the time you think you're gonna climb out Half the time you know that you won't Half the time you wanna scream out Haven't got a clue how to cope How do you think you're gonna quit it When you can't miss a solitary lick Do you really think that you could kill it You better get yourself all cleaned up You better get yourself a shill You better make sure you're ready Better update your will Spoken like a man on the gallows Spoken like a man in the chair Spoken like a man at the bottom of a barrel Someone cornered in his lair Storm upon the ocean storm out on the sea The storm raging in your head that no one ever sees Storm upon the ocean storm out on the sea That storm is going to claim you for eternity All the pride and bitterness have made your life so dark The world done you wrong left an ugly mark Never would take advice walked your thorny path Stewing in your juices building up your wrath Does your momma wonder just where it all went wrong When her precious birdy stopped singing out his song Monkey screeching in your ear makes it hard to think Sribble on the internet and stare while it blinks Storm upon the ocean storm out on the sea The storm raging in your head that no one ever sees Storm upon the ocean storm out on the sea That storm is going to claim you for eternity

Fishing Pole (free) 03:08
Drove myself to Tims and waited for my double double In the rearview mirror surprised at all that frosted stubble We used to play road hockey you were Gretz I was Lemieux Now my back is wonkey and we've both put on a few Come on little brother why don't we grab our fishing poles Come on little brother why don't we grab our fishing poles Come on little brother let's say we grab our fishing poles Come on little brother let's get down to our fishing hole It's coming round coming round coming round the corner for you Wake up every morning every morning there's a story to it Coming round coming round coming round the corner for you Every morning every morning every morning holds you to it Stuck in rush hour traffic I'll be late for work again Dawdlers dog the fast lane can't wait for the weekend What say we get together we'll hoist ourselves a few Play some tabletop you be Gretz cause I'm Lenieux Come on little brother why don't we grab our fishing poles Come on little brother why don't we grab our fishing poles Come on little brother let's say we grab our fishing poles Come on little brother let's get down to our fishing hole It's coming round coming round coming round the corner for you Wake up every morning every morning there's a story to it Coming round coming round coming round the corner for you Every morning every morning every morning holds you to it We had all the cool hotwheels we raced our minibikes Super slider snowskates and a simple kind of life All those hockey cards we knew how to make a trade We'd make a lot of money take it easy in the shade

Get On Up (free) 02:46
I couldn't give a good god damn I'll bite the hand that feeds me and you'll never understand I'm a prickly personality carving my own path Never made a lick of sense can never do the math I get on up while you get down I get on up and then I get around I get on up while you get down I get on up and then I get around I'm a puzzle an enigma a walking contradiction A buzzsaw tornado the source of all this friction You can't chain me up can't keep me in your prison I'm the shiver I'm the thrill I'm the thing that you've been missin I get on up while you get down I get on up and then I get around I get on up while you get down I get on up and then I get around Break/Bridge I'm a real hard thinking son of a gun Whistling past my grave always on the run I'm a rebel I'm a loner I'm a Russian cosmonaut I'm a dagger the stilletto I'm a complicated knot

Lonely (free) 03:30
This is how it is You think you got me cornered You're striking up the match But I'm climbing up my ladder And crawling out the hatch I'm lonely said I'm lonely I'm my one and only But I'm looking for two I've been out wandering I've been looking around You know hope spring eternal But misery abounds My time it grows shorter And my shadow grows long As nighttime draws closer I sing you this song The stars fade away Along with the sun The earth is much colder (And I'm still on the run) I'm lonely Said I'm so lonely I'm my one and only But I'm looking for two I got away I got away I had to go I got away I got away Now I'm alone So I'm walking this world In perpetual shade And collect all the coins That ever were made I poke through the rubble I stroll past the graves I nurse these old wounds Pretend that I'm brave And all the dark matter And all the black holes Could never come close To what's down in my soul I'm lonely I'm so goddam blue
