So you say you fell in love and you're gonna get married
Raise yourself a family, how simple life can be Somewhere it all went wrong and your plans just fell apart And you ain't got the heart to finish what you started ...x2 (chorus) The ones that you loved The ones that you left behind The ones you said you'd try to find Are they trying to find you ....x2 Somewhere it all went wrong and your plans just fell apart And you ain't got the heart to finish what you started You walked out that door to find out where you belong To fulfill your own selfish dreams, I think you might have forgotten (chorus) |

If they can make a law then I can break a law
If I can break the law will the law break me? It comes tumbling down again, I can't comprehend, is it destiny Your nomadic state, are you a refugee, no place to call your home Forever walk alone as the world goes on Forgotten by the ones you've known (chorus) And all the words you gave me I lost on bended knee But you can't stop these cravings Just by praying they would cease If I can make a life then I can take a life If I can save a life will this life save me Time after time I still seem to find you're looking out for me So wrap your arms around me, hold me close and don't let go Let me lean on you as I think things through, if I don't we'll never know (chorus) Will your faith save me Will I find this place where I belong Can you protect me from my troubles, keep me safe from harm Will you help me carry on. (chorus) If they can make a law then I can break a law If I can break the law will the law break me? It comes tumbling down again, I can't comprehend, is it destiny Your nomadic state, are you a refugee, no place to call your home Forever walk alone as the world goes on Forgotten by the ones you've known |

In a neat little town they call Quincy
Apprenticed in trade I was bound And many an hour of sweet happiness I spent in that neat little town Then bad misfortune befell me And caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and companions To follow the black velvet band As I as out strolling one evening Not intending to stay very long I met a frolicsome damsel As she came tripping along A watch she pulled out her pocket And slipped it right into my hand On the very first night that I met her Bad luck to the black velvet band. (chorus) Her eyes, they shone like the diamond You'd think she was queen of the land And her hair hung over her shoulder Tied up in a black velvet band Before judge and jury next morning Both of us did appear A gentleman claimed his jewelry And the case against us was clear Now seven long years transportation Right down to Van Dieman's land Far away from my friends and companions To follow this black velvet band (chorus) So come all you jolly young fellows I'll have you take warning by me Whenever you're out on the liquor Beware of the pretty Colleen She'll fill you with whiskey and porter Until you're not able to stand And the very next thing you'd know You've landed in Van Dieman's Land. (chorus) |

A feeling I get inside in the back of my head
Like a song you still know from so long ago And I wouldn't change a thing Like a car driving by triggers something in my mind Am I retrieving my direction or just charging forward blind Am I everything that you wanted me to be Have I lost that condition, a connection I couldn't see Til the end like a friend stands by you again And I wouldn't change a thing Toe to toe, friend or foe, it's all that I know And I wouldn't change a thing As the years pass us by, will I still make the grade Can I really offer anything, and will my soul be saved Can you cleanse me off... drive out the swine Am I only falling farther, can you keep me safe from harm The memories you build in the house on the hill Would you really change a thing Corrected mistakes in a world full of hate Never changes anything Til the end like a friend stands by you again And I wouldn't change a thing Toe to toe, friend or foe, it's all that I know Til the end like a friend stands by you again And I wouldn't change a thing |

Nothing they could do just sit down there
As the black closed all around them And the water rose so quick and cold An unlikely place to drown (chorus) Nine in the mine, trapped down below Down! Down! Down in the ground And this would be the day I didn't kiss my wife goodbye Take care of my family, I'm buried alive They held their heads up high As they strugged hard to breathe And asked the Lord to open his arms For the nine souls he'd receive (chorus) They lashed themselves together So in Death all might be found And prayed there for a miracle Some twenty-four stories down (chorus) Down! Down! Down in the ground |

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling Michael they have taken you away For you stole Trevelyn's corn So the young might see the morn Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay (chorus) Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling Nothing matters, Mary when you're free Against the famine and the Crown I rebelled they ran me down Now you must raise our child with dignity (chorus) By a lonely harbor wall She watched the last star falling As that prison ship sailed out against the sky Sure she'll wait and hope and pray For her love in Botany Bay It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

I've lost all the time that I have in this world
I've spent it unwisely, unwisely you see And I can't get it back and I can't move forward I'm broken and I'm empty, it's over for me If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused Fall to my knees, pray for swiftness and just For I'm just a fool, a fool driven to dust And the world ain't gonna change for me So give me one more chance to prove these problems and frustrations Aren't just manifest in memories we're destined to repeat A second chance to prove I know right from wrong I swear I'll do things different but can't promise to be strong (chorus) So come all you losers, you bastards and cheats Vagrants and barflies down on the street Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits We're marching on East Broadway tonight If you could look into this old face and try to see the young man I swear I once was pretty, not the monster you now see But I squandered all my chances, lost my faith and took for granted This life and precious one chance, the whirlwind I'll wreak If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused Fall to my knees, pray for swiftness and just For I'm just a fool, a fool driven to dust And the world ain't gonna change for me (chorus) So come all you losers, you bastards and cheats Vagrants and barflies down on the street Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits We're marching on East Broadway tonight |

Tonight my son, I'll heed the call
If you're to live, then I must fall Just give me one more moment, another walk out in the sun One more day to find some justice with your shadow by my side Cuff me, tie me, lock me down 'cause I'll be back to go another round As one! My blood runs red beneath the knife I give my soul to you tonight From early on I was on my own with no light to guide my way Then the hand of destiny called me only now do I understand Interwoven our lives became, bonded by blood no need to be repaid! As one! My blood runs red beneath the knife I give my soul to you tonight ....x2 Just give me one more moment with your shadow by my side And we will always be together... as one. |

It's another November evening
As you remember your way home You mete out your aggressions On what's left of your blackened soul You've come to this conclusion As you're dragged from another bloody fight You've reached the age where you've decided That you've lived out your whole life Another busted knuckle, taken down by a kick to the balls You've wasting time wasting time as life's shadow grows so tall It's another busted knuckle, it's a fight you'll never win And now you bow your head in shame, for a sin no one forgives. (chorus) Fight, fight, you'll never win Tonight I'll start again Fight, fight you'll never win How will I make amends This is our life, this is our time This is my life don't waste my time Your wife can't understand you And you've alienated your oldest friends Breaking back and fingers to the bone Burning candles at both ends Tired of this petty life you lead A series of dull events A two-bit, half-assed effigy of someone else's dread Another busted knuckle, taken down by a kick to the balls You've wasting time wasting time as life's shadow grows so tall It's another busted knuckle, it's a fight you'll never win And now you bow your head in shame, for a sin no one forgives. (chorus) Fight, fight, you'll never win Tonight I'll start again Fight, fight you'll never win How will I make amends This is our life, this is our time This is my life don't waste my time This is our life, this is our time This is my life don't waste my time ...x2 |

Go! Go! Black and Gold! Old-time hockey, bar the door Clear the track it's all-out war Light the lamp, throw a hit. Black and Gold never quit The barn is full, our team's in town So put 'em up boys, knock 'em down. Drop the puck, it's time to go! Bust outta work, it's quarter-past five Time to round up the gang and take the Red to the Orange Line Head for the street and the Causeway crowd You can feel it in the air, when the team's in town (chorus) Rancourt's ready, it's time to take to the ice So tie down the jersey 'cause it could get ugly tonight Top corner, five hole, off the post and in On a quest for the cup, and we're ready to win (chorus) |
