Every day's Saturday when you're doin' time
I don't have to leave this room Every day's Saturday when you're doin' time Have a smoke and watch cartoons Every day's Saturday when you're doin' time I've got no place to be Every day's Saturday when you're doin' time Except the penitentiary I'm stuck behind these bars for 25 to life For robbing a liquor store and Bumpin' off my wife You don't have to feel sorry for me That would never do Sittin' around here is never lonely 'Cause all my friends are in here too And we're saving a spot for you Wednesday's visitation day But you're never here Don't wanna see me? That's O.K. I don't miss you like the beer |

I can't forget that night
or the arguement that made you run away i thought you'd come back soon but soon became a year and seven days i stood there petrified as they dragged your car out of laurel lake the overwhelming guilt that it's all my fault was all my heart could take at night you always seem so near it sometimes feels like you're still here your voice will never fade away forever in my dreams i know you're always gonna stay forver in my dreams you're always young, with wings to fly forever in my dreams one place i know you'll never die forever in my dreams i hear your footsteps walking around the room where our time was spent i hope you know i miss you i need to tell you how much that you meant today i'll drive to roselawan hang my head and put flowers on your grave why did we always aruge? it's not the way that brothers should behave |

Down and out again
It's nothing new I guess it's always been this way, everyday There's nothing I can do I can't face the world again Go back to bed When you start with nothing There's nothing that you can do I just can't get ahead With my back against the wall I'm prepared to take the fall I don't think I'll ever hear them say King just for a day If only once it would be nice After all my sacrifice Carved in stone above my grave King just for a day I've worked my life away For someone else Nothing to show for all my work Like a jerk I've done it all myself Don't try to lend a hand 'Cause I'm too proud I'm a self-made man, A man that's turned into A blank face in the crowd |

Woke up drunk again this morning
Blood on my sleeve and Puke chunks in my hair I don't care And neither does this girl beside me What was her name I know her from somewhere Just look at my hair in the mirror It's turning grey Give me another bartender What else can I say I don't remember last night I know it's sometimes better to forget They say that I'm scraping the bottom At least I know I haven't been there yet Won't care until it's too late It's early, but I'm doing what I can Tonight I'm gonna get drunk I'm making my stand, a genuine whiskey man Came in late to work again Antoher hangover rumored as a flu They don't have a clue They know that such a fine young man Would never hang around The places that I do |

Jenny knew which boy she liked
The only one with a motorbike With a gleam in his eye He was always combin' back his hair She never saw him at school He was too busy being cool In his black leather jacket He was king of anywhere Rebel souls with their shadows of mystery Tough to the last Are becoming just a part of our history Memories from the past What happened to the heroes of yesterday Where have they gone Their vision's too important to fade away We'll have to carry it on Johnny was a teenage punk Starting fights and getting drunk He was ready for a rumble With a switchblade at his side Jenny hid and cried that day She wanted to run away When she overheard them say That Johnny died |

How long, how long, how long,
How long, please tell me, how long 'Til you tell me that he's gone, how long Too many time I have seen your cryin' eyes While you're standing there with him As your future's growing dim You're afraid, Though you're trying to be strong It's a challenge to be brave When he's oblivious to the pain And it won't be very long 'Til you crumble from the strain (It's wrong) Indications on your arm Tell the story of the harm Of your father's power trip All your bruises fit his grip It's a crime But you think that it's all your fault 'Cause it happens all the time "You're an idiot", "Be a man" Now you wanna shut his mouth Feel the shotgun in your hand (You can) |

Drove past the old house today
And couldn't realize Whey my new friends couldn't see The home that I saw with my eyes Then I remembered that I hadn't Been there in so long And the things I'd seen And things I'd done Were memories that had gone They'd just laugh and call me The old senitmental fool I know they're right So I'll try to hide the pain Because it breaks my Heart to hear them say Tear down the house on West End Road It's been condemned a year and a day It's paint is chipped, the bricks are old The city says it's just in the way Tear down the house on West End Road It once was home to all of my dreams Back when we were so young and bold Has it really been so long Since we fell apart at the seams (Seems) Like just the other day I saw it the first time It needed paint, it needed work It was run-down, but was mine You wouldn't know it if you Went and looked at it today But that house hold the most Treasured part of my past, in a way |

So well composed
You seem like absolute perfection Much to perfect for a boy Who is used to big rejection, so I I watch you through a lens Just slightly out of focus You're so flawless in your smile Although you never seem to notice and I I never really thought that you'd be mine Not in my dreams for a minute I never really thought that you'd be mine I'm tellin' myself to forget it You wouldn't understand that you Inspire me and fuel my photography I never really thought that you'd be mine I know that I'm just a dreamer (but) You never really know when worlds collide It could create something special Or maybe we would just all explode and die I guess I'm just too camera shy Alone in my darkroom I hang pictures that are drying All the pictures are of you And it's hard to keep from crying when I I only see you through a Lens that's telescopic And you don't know that I'm there But you're still my only topic and I |

Oh, here she comes again, Ms. Nasty
Walking like the princess of the ball Avoiding all the jealous girls She thinks that all the boys Are waiting on her beck and call Why in the world has she singled me out As the object of her dirty lust What can I say to make sure there's no doubt That she fills me with utter disgust Please tell me 'cause I don't want her telephone number I don't want to give her a call Forget about the flowers And the chocolate covered candy 'Cause I don't even want her at all Come here and put your arms around me If only so she'll see me holding you I've tried a hundred million ways Of giving her the hint But she still hasn't gotten a clue |

I just had to get away this morning
To keep you off my mind Your memory haunts me without warning And I need a place to hide And a little help to just unwind I want it, 'cause I'm comin' down I was touchin' a place where I wanna stay I need it, 'cause I'm comin' down Can't face the fact that you've gone away Gotta have it, 'cause I'm comin' down I can't lose the way that I feel inside I'll just pretend that you're still with me To help me ease the pain I'll still deny it until I'm fifty Or until I go insane From a drug contorted brain ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By WALSH, JAMES/STELFOX, JAMES/WESTHEAD, BARRY/BYRNE, BENJAMIN <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

There's a spark that ignites the internal fire
It makes us strive for the best we can be and higher Sometimes we stumble and we're back at the start But it won't matter 'cause we're used to it hard That's why it won't get us down, it's just the way that we are It's not just the way that it works out sometimes 'Cause that we have was bought with our last dimes Wherever we go through the rain and snow From the sand and the sun to whichever way the wind blows Each of our hearts make up equal parts And they're bound by a cause that can't be held to man's laws Facing the odds as human lighting rods We grow strong from our pain though we've gone a little insane Together we're one and as one we'll fall However dark it seems, don't underestimate the team Road life brings each of us close together We don't sleep 'cause we know that it's now or never It may be tough to ride and sleep in a van Suspicuous looks and hiding out from the man Can't tell us we're not a movement we just play in a band We know what we want and we want it right now Don't stand in our way 'cause we'll get it somehow |
