Na na na, na na na na na!
Na na na, na na na na na! Wouldn't it be great, If no one ever got offended? Wouldn't it be great, To say what's really on your mind? I've always said, All the rules are made for bending. And if I let my hair down, Would that be such a crime? I wanna be consequence free! I wanna be where nothing needs to matter. I wanna be consequence free! Just say: Na na na, na na na na na! Oh! Na na na, na na na na na! I could really use, To lose my Catholic conscience. Cause I'm getting sick, Of feeling guilty all the time. I won't abuse it, Yeah I've got the best intentions. For a little bit of anarchy, But not the hurting kind. I wanna be consequence free! I wanna be where nothing needs to matter. I wanna be consequence free! Just say: Na na na, na na na na na! Oh! Na na na, na na na na na! Oh! I couldn't sleep at all last night, Cause I had so much on my mind. I'd like to leave it all behind, But you know it's not that easy. Oh! But for just one night, Wouldn't it be great, If the band just never ended? We could stay out late, And we would never hear last call. Wouldn't need to worry about approval or permission. We could slip off the edge, And never worry about the fall. I wanna be consequence free! I wanna be where nothing means to matter. I wanna be consequence free! Just say: Na na na, na na na na na! Oh! Na na na, na na na na na! Oh! Na na na, na na na na na! |

I wasn't looking for a lover,
I wasn't looking for a friend I wasn't working undercover, wasn't trying to pretend But when you walked across the dance floor, just like the moon across the sky I knew that I would have to see more, knew that I would have to try One look into your eyes, and I realize... Chorus Oh no I can't stop falling My heart betrays me And I know I'll start to feel it all again Won't someone save me She jumped aboard the brown line, I accidentally caught her eye She told me she was born a Libra, I told her I was Gemini She made suggestive conversation, then she lightly brushed my hand Overcome by her temptations, we jumped off down by the strand And in the English night, I realize it again... Chorus Bridge She asks me to come inside, we can just talk for a while I wonder if I should but her touch, her touch, it feels so good. But I look into your eyes, and I realize it again. Chorus |

I had a dream I was moving forward
Floating gently to the sun I've come to see my world rewarded A new day has begun A lost bird caught in mid migration Far away to a foreign land Offspring of a secret nation A new day has begun Chorus I can see the earth below me and I can feel it turn Fog lifts to reveal potential For generations prophesized Our growth to be exponential Our promise finally realized Chorus Bridge Feel it turn Across the sky The world it learns So must I Cut steel wired into water Fixed link, circumnavigate Old men see your sons and daughters No longer, no longer hesitate Chorus x2 |

Ah, when Jack comes ashore
He's got money galore And he's seldom cut short of a job He can dress now as well As any can tell With a good silver watch in his fob Poor Jack in his life Was ne'er paired with a wife Though sometimes with lasses he links He's a seafaring sailmate Can gambol a caper Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks Oh, Jack Hinks When inclined for to spend He walks with a friend And with pleasure he sits himself down He tips off his glass And he winks at the lass And he smiles if she happens to frown And like a ramblin' true blue When the rent becomes due On the table the money he clinks He's a seafaring sailmate Can gambol a caper Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks Round home the other fall We fell into a squall Now the northermost head of Cape Freels We were washed away Without further delay At the thought how my spirit it chills We were bashed on the rocks Like a hard hunted fox Of death and destruction he thinks He's a seafaring sailmate Can gambol a caper Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks Oh, Jack Hinks Jack without fail Was out in that same gale Having drove across Bonavist Bay Oh Neptune did sail As he handed all sail And he had his two spars cut away Oh, but Providence kind so eases the wind And on sailors so constantly thinks He saved That seafaring sailmate Can gambol a caper That seafaring sailmate Can gambol a caper That seafaring sailmate Can gambol a caper Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks |

(written by Sean McCann)
I see you in the front row, dancing up and down You're ripped and ready for a night downtown And all the pretty boys are chasing you around 'Cause they all want to win your affection Spent three hours getting ready for the show Nothing on underneath and everybody knows Mama said wear a coat or catch your death of cold What's wrong with a little flirtation? And then you smile at me Is that a wink I see? Did I catch your eye? Should I even try? CHORUS: Oh, my Margarita (Margarita) Like to meet ya (Margarita) My Margarita (Margarita) Think I need ya (Margarita) Take your time, dance real slow Remember that song from the radio Got your old man's car, got a place to go 'Cause we all need a little temptation Those two big fellas are looking for a fight It's what they like to do on a Saturday night Maybe it's the alcohol, maybe it's the lights But they just want to get your attention And then you smile at me Is that a wink I see? Did I catch your eye? Should I even try? CHORUS Talk to me, baby, it's all right I might look strange, but I don't bite And if you'll let me hold your hand I can find a way to make you understand Called last call, now it's time to go But I'm not the guy who gets to walk you home We could have made history, I guess we'll never know I'll see you in my dreams CHORUS (x2) |

Oh, our schooner and our sloop in Ferryland they do lie
She's already rigged to be bound for the ice All you lads of the Southern we will have you to beware She's going to the ice in the Spring of the year (Chorus:) Laddie whack fall the laddie, laddie whack fall the day Our course be east-north-east for two days and two nights Our captain he cried out "Boys, look ahead for the ice!" He hove her about standing in for the land, And 'twas in a few hours we were firm in the jam. Oh our captain he cried out, "Come on boys and lend a hand!" Our cook he makes the breakfast and each man takes a dram. With their hats in their hands it was earlye for to go, Every man showed his action 'thout the missing of a blow (Chorus) Some were killing some were scalping, some were hauling on board, Some more they were firing and a-missing of their loads. In the dusk of the evening all hands in from the cold, And we counted nine hundred fine scalps in the hold. We're now off Cape Spear, in sight of Cape Broyle We will dance, sing, carouse, my boys, in just a little while. We will soon enjoy the charms of our sweethearts and friends, But it will not be long before we're down to the bend. (Chorus) (Repeat first verse) (Chorus x2) |

I dreamt I saw a woman
Standing by the strand Waiting for her people To come in from the land Waiting there for seven days She built a fire in the sand Waiting for her people To come in from the land She had the look of a refugee Hiding in her eyes And when I tried to talk to her She answered with a cry And pointed to the water Out beyond the harbour line Where a thousand ships lay waiting They lay waiting for my sign Chorus I remember days of sunlight With my father by my side And the children, ran before us Like the foam upon the tide We ran like frightened partridge When the strangers came to talk Bringing sickness 'round them And the thunder in their walk We ran into the valleys And we ran into the hills They only ran before us, Driven by the strangers' will Chorus I'm waiting by the landwash Giant standing near I see them coming always Children in their fear I'm waiting on my blanket And the giant waits with me And I will wait here always As they fill the endless sea Chorus x2 |

There is an ancient party at the other end of town.
He keeps a little grocery store, and the ancient's name is Brown. He has a lovely daughter, such a treat I never saw. Oh, I only hope someday to be the old man's son-in-law. Old Brown sells from off his shelf most anything you please. He's got juice hops for the little boys, lollipops and cheese. His daughter minds the store and it's a treat to see her serve. I'd like to run away with her but I don't have the nerve. And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl. Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl. I wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl. And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl. Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl. Well poor Old Brown now has trouble with the gout. He grumbles in his little parlour when he can't get out. And when I make a purchase, Lord, and she hands me the change... That girl she makes me pulverized, I feel so very strange. And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl. Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl. I wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl. And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl. Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl. Miss Brown, she smiles so sweetly when I say a tender word. Oh, but Old Brown says that she must wed a Marquis or a Lord. And I don't suppose it's ever one of those things I will be... But, by jingo, next election I will run for Trinity! And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl. Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl. I wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl. And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl. Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl. |

Though the night be dark as dungeon,
not a star to be seen above. I will be guided, without a stumble, To the arms o' me only love. I went up to her bed room window, Kneeling gently upon a stone. I rapped on her bedroom window, "My darling dear do you lie alone?" Chorus: For, I'm a rover seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree. An' when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinking Of how to gain my loves company. She raised her head from her feather pillow, raised her arms up around her breasts. Sayin', "Who's at me bedroom window disturbing me at me long night's rest?" "It's only me, you own true lover, Open the door and please let me in For, I have come a long nights journey, And I'm near drenched to the skin." Chorus: For, I'm a rover seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree. An' when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinking Of how to gain my loves company. She opened the door with the greatest pleasure! Opened the door, and she let me in! We both shook hands and embraced each other Til the morning we lay as one! "But now, Me love, I must go and leave you. though the mountains be high above. Well I will climb them with greater pleasure, that I've been with me only love!" Chorus: For, I'm a rover seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree. An' when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinking Of how to gain my loves company. Chorus: For, I'm a rover seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree. An' when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinking Of how to gain my loves company. |

A noblemen's fair daughter
Came down a narrow lane. And met with Captain Wedderburn, The keeper of the game Now my pretty fair miss If it wasn't for the law, You and I in the bed might lie Roll me over next to the wall Roll me over next to the wall Now, my dear good man, she said Do not be perplexed Before that you might bed with me You must answer questions six. Six questions you must answer me, And I will ask them all And you and I in the bed might lie Roll me over next to the wall Roll me over next to the wall What is rounder than a ring, And higher than the trees? And what is worse than a woman's curse, And what is deeper than the sea? What bird sings first, which one's best? Where does the dew first fall And you and I in a bed might lie Roll me over next to the wall Roll me over next to the wall The earth is rounder than a ring, And heaven is higher than the trees, The devil is worse than a woman's curse, And hell in deeper than the sea The lark sings first, the thrush sings best, Earth is where the dew falls And you and I in a bed must lie Roll me over next to the wall Roll me over next to the wall He takes her by her lily-white hand And leads her down the hall And he takes her by her slender waist For fear that she might fall And he lays her on a bed of down Without a doubt at all And he and she lie in one bed Roll me over next to the wall And she and he lie in one bed Roll me over next to the wall Roll me over next to the wall Roll me over next to the wall |

Here I go again
My heart's on the line I'm willing to pretend One more time I got some life to spend On even rhymes But when I reach the end Will you, will you, will you be mine [Chorus:] This time I know your not the answer to my prayer And I have grown with each disappointment through the years And as bad as I am, and as bad as I am I'm still here. On the road again I've paid a fine Where now is the friend I leave, I leave, I leave behind I'm goin' round the bend One more climb But when I reach the end Will you, will you, will you be mine This time I know your not the answer to my prayer And I have grown with each disappointment through the years And as bad as I am, and as bad as I am, and as bad as I am I'm still here. This time I know your not the answer to my prayer And I have grown with each disappointment through the years And as bad as I am, and as bad as I am, and as bad as I am I'm still here. I'm still here I'm still here I'm still here |
