There goes another heartbreak
Gone so fast
Spent your money like a cheapskate
And blew all your cash
Don’t hold me down in the alley
Just to have your say
If there’s gonna be a heartbreak
I hope it breaks my way
How comes it always happens
At the worst of times
If we held it all together
With words and rhymes
I’m so sick of the bitter
I can’t find the sweet
If there’s gonna be a heartbreak
I hope it don’t break me
Climbing back up the mountain
Known as love
They say that one bad heartbreak
Is never enough
Cause what you can’t learn in the classroom
When you’re feeling fine
Is that there’s gonna be another heartbreak
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time
Oh, a matter of time

Rolling Fever

Late night kinda attitude
When you’re looking so good
Can you feel me baby, are you in the mood?
I know I can’t but I should
You've got a rolling fever
A rolling fever
You've got a rolling fever
A rolling fever of a hundred and two
Mystic momma reading medicine leaves
On the forest floor
Weren’t you the one that put a spell on me?
Can I have some more?
Of your rolling fever
Your rolling fever
You've got a rolling fever
No matter what you do it’s burning up on you
Guess it goes without saying
You’re acting desperately
As you sit there complaining
The red is rising through the mercury
Of your rolling fever
Your rolling fever
You've got a rolling fever
A rolling fever of a hundred and two
You reach the point where you can’t take no more
For goodness sake
You throw yourself on the kitchen floor
Waiting for this fever to break

Bulletproof

Virginia Woolf don’t mess around baby
Al Capone don’t mess around, too
When they shout it out they shout it from the rooftops
Who they looking for? They’re looking for you!
They’re looking for you, they’re looking for you!
How you think they built those pyramids?
Where you think they gone and buried that loot?
When they dig it out they dig from the basement
Who they working for? They’re working for you!
They’re working for you, they’re working for you!
I can feel you whisper to me, “It’s exactly like a fairytale”
Patti Smith don’t mess around, baby
Jane Jacobs don’t mess around, too
When they shimmy cross they shimmy cross the crosswalk
Who they aiming for? They’re aiming for you!
They’re aiming for you, they’re aiming for you!
They’re aiming for you, they’re aiming for you!
They’re aiming for you, they’re aiming for you!
But you’re so bulletproof, you’re so bulletproof

Dog Fight
03:35
|

It’s a dog fight
Underneath the candle light
These are hard times no matter where you sit
Tell me where’d you park your car?
Is it near the grocery cart?
The map of Algeria we left outside got soaking wet
Now it’s up to you - you’re a modern-day sensation
What’s been stopping you from rising to the occasion?
Whatever’s in your way why don’t you shove it aside?
I wouldn’t go out tonight - It’s a dog fight
If it were legal to
Fall out of love with you
I’d have to reconcile before I placed that bet
But the demigods
They're playing dominoes
While the trapeze line Is being set
Now it’s up to you - you’re a modern-day sensation
What’s been stopping you from rising to the occasion?
Whatever’s in your way why don’t you shove it aside?
I wouldn’t go out tonight - It’s a dog fight
Ohhh, golden tragedy
Stay away from me
Ohhh, golden tragedy
Stay away from me, keep yourself away from me
The tables seem to turn
Now I’m in your place
You had the wherewithal to help me forget
Tell me, have the tears dried?
Is your love still occupied?
These are hard times no matter where you sit
Now it’s up to you - you’re a modern-day sensation
What’s been stopping you from rising to the occasion?
Whatever’s in your way why don’t you shove it aside?
I wouldn’t go out tonight - It’s a dog fight

Angie's Blues
03:43
|

If you’ve got a minute or two, a minute or two
If you’ve got a minute or two why don’t you come stand and beside me
With a fresh attitude, a fresh attitude
With a fresh attitude I hope you’ll choose your words wisely
Hot sun kissing my face
Today might be my favourite of all of my days
Today might be the day that all hell breaks loose
But this is not, it’s not, it’s not Angie’s blues
Cause she don’t want 'em
No, she don’t need them
And if you got the blues right now
Why don’t you keep 'em?
You gotta keep your feet on the ground, your feet on the ground
You gotta keep your feet on the ground so you know just where you're standing
Like a cat on the prowl, a cat on the prowl
Just like a cat on the prowl you’re gonna need a soft landing
If my memory serves me correct
Her hair was kinda purple and it fell to her neck
Her jacket was so yellow she had nothing to lose
But this is not, it’s not, it’s not Angie’s blues
Cause she don’t want 'em
No, she don’t need them
And if you got the blues right now
Why don’t you keep 'em?
You gotta keep your eyes on the prize, your eyes on the prize
You gotta keep your eyes on the prize so you know just what you’re after
Cause if your head’s in the clouds, your head’s in the clouds
If your head’s in the clouds then life moves a little faster
Spaceships flying up in the sky
There’s a barn owl eyeing up my peach pie
I took up alchemy to try and fashion some booze
Now I’m stuck here staring at Angie’s blues
They’re mesmerizing
They go in circles
She starts with copper
And ends in purples
I see the golds now
I see the silvers
I see those rainbows
I feel the shivers
I feel the shivers
I feel the shivers

Trouble
03:39
|
|||
I’ve been in trouble most all my life
I’ve got a troubled heart and a troubled mind
If you see things my way from my point of view
Pretty soon you’ll come to meet trouble, too
There ain’t much distance between wrong and right
There ain’t much comfort in troubled times
If you see things my way from my point of view
Pretty soon you’ll come to meet trouble, too
There's trouble in the mornings, there's trouble at night
There's trouble on the highways and troubled satellites
There's trouble on the weekends and the whole week through
All I see is trouble from my point of view
There's trouble on the coast, there's trouble in the waters
There's troubled kaleidoscopes revealing troubled fathers
There's troubled police and first responders
Our troubled streets full of troubled daughters
There's trouble in the air, there’s trouble in the pollen
There's trouble at the food banks, there’s too much hunger calling
We’re all in trouble when the rich get richer
It's trouble for the commons and the bigger picture
There's trouble in the lightning, there’s trouble in the thunder
There’s trouble up north now and trouble down under
You can’t escape it no matter what you do
Pretty soon you’ll come to meet trouble, too

Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
Another time we’re sure to get there, we’re gonna find that gold
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
You spoke from the heart
Right from the very start
You were cool and composed
And a little too on the nose
You found meaning in the stars
But life is so juxtaposed
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
Another time we’re sure to get there, we’re gonna find that gold
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
Let’s have a party, let’s have a kegger
Let’s count our buddies passed out on the lawn
Then let’s be thankful that it’s later
And those days are as good as gone
Lord knows, I’m no mathematician
And I’ll probably never crack the code
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
Another time we’re sure to get there, we’re gonna find that gold
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
It's last call at the harbour
Let’s hit the bunkie for one more round
Cause you can’t get any farther than as far as you feel right now
And I guess it’s just a reminder of the way life goes
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road
Another time we’re sure to get there, we’re gonna find that gold
Another time I’ll meet you on down the road

Straight to the point, don’t head for cover
This is your city, these are your lovers
You’re so adored, it’s making everybody nervous
It was the top of the day, in the heart of the summer
Feeling the pavement, getting hotter and hotter
You can’t ignore it, you hope everybody heard us
It’s high time for jealousy
It’s high time for idle thoughts
It’s high time in the counter culture
It’s high time, let’s get lost
You’re feeling strange, there’s no change in your pockets
Your sweetheart is brave, but your sweetheart is walking
Slowly away, and there’s just not stopping it
You tried to shut it all off, you tried to shut it all down
Such is the life on this side of town
You think it’s all misdirected, I think it’s totally honest
It’s high time for jealousy
It’s high time for idle thoughts
It’s high time in the counter culture
It’s high time, let’s get lost
You’re picking up sticks
Grasping at straws
Trying to get a fix
Of the ooh’s and the ahh’s
You dialled it in to get back to your audience
But no one’s awake, nobody’s watching
There’s too much constraint, there’s too much caution
Just tell it to me straight, some lines aren’t worth crossing
You can’t make this stuff up, even with magic
Mornings are tough, evenings are tragic
There’s too much at stake, and even more’s gonna surface
It’s high time for jealousy
It’s high time for idle thoughts
It’s high time in the counter culture
It’s high time, let’s get lost

Honey Bee

Honey bee don’t bring your buzz
Around my sugar tree
Don’t you know it’s really tough
Hanging around with you honey bee
Can you agree I don’t ask much?
Can you just give me this courtesy?
Oh, honey bee
Oh, honey bee
Oh, honey bee
Oh, honey bee
My eyes are swollen, I need some rest
Shouldn’t have played in that hornet’s nest
The sky is blue and leaves are green
Guess I’ll go looking for my honey bee
It’s tough to know just what to say
I thought I saw you the other day
Oh, honey bee
Oh, honey bee
Oh, honey bee
Oh, honey bee
What do you get when you put it all back?
Some concrete buildings and a bike rack
Now everybody’s wearing black
Wanting things to be like they used to be
Oh, honey bee
Oh, honey bee
Oh, honey bee
Oh, honey bee
Honey bee don’t bring your buzz
Around my sugar tree
Don’t you know it’s really tough
Hanging around with you honey bee

Roll With The Punches
03:53
|
|||
They say that bad news travels in bunches
You gotta roll, gotta roll, you gotta roll with the punches
As sure as the sun’s coming out in the morning
There’s a little silver lining in every warning
A little more give
A lot less take
A little more odds
A lot less hunches
Gotta roll, gotta roll, you gotta roll with the punches
You can see it in the eyes of the glaringly sorrow
One foot in today and another in tomorrow
You know the tides are gonna rise out in Nova Scotia
But you never know what could be waiting for ya
A little more love
A lot more peace
It’s never too late to do what your hearts says
Gotta roll, gotta roll, you gotta roll with the punches
You gotta roll, gotta roll, you gotta roll!
You gotta roll, gotta roll, you gotta roll!
It ain’t the easiest thing
Until you start to try
And then magically
You’ll start to wonder why
You didn’t set your sights on what you could control
You gotta roll!
So, who you gonna be when all this is over?
When you’re staring at your lover, not over your shoulder
And what’s it gonna take for you to let it go?
You know there’s gonna be punches, you gotta let it roll
You gotta roll, gotta roll, you gotta roll!
You gotta roll, gotta roll, you gotta roll!
It ain’t the easiest thing
Until you start to try
And then magically
You’ll start to wonder why
You didn’t set your sights on what you could control
You gotta roll!
They say that bad news travels in bunches
You gotta roll, gotta roll, you gotta roll with the punches
