Don’t call us, we’ll call you
You know I love what you do but this is no commercial groove
Don’t think we don’t rate the band
Yeah I would love to help out but this is out of my hands
It’s just a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
The car was waiting by the door
Yeah, the rep left the room before the band hit the floor
There’s not much cooking in this creative kitchen
Yeah, we’re all washed up and out to dry, just sitting around and bitching, yeah
It’s just a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
So take a drive, forget about it
Go somewhere you won’t even think about it
Running wild and the gas light just flicked on
Man, getting lost is not a waste of time when you’ve nowhere to go, baby
Hold on
Hold on
Don’t call us, we’ll call you
Yeah, I was sorry to hear that your gig had fallen through
Been bought out by the big boys in the north
I’m sure they’re gonna make some noise up there
It’s a shame you all got cut off… That’s a shame.
It’s just a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
So take a drive, forget about it
Go somewhere you won’t even think about it
Running wild and the gas light just flicked on
Man, getting lost is not a waste of time when you’ve nowhere to go, baby
Hold on
Hold on

All Life’s Beautiful Things
Cold as stone, the slammed screen door
We won’t be going outside no more
Ice lies thick between the gutter and the curb
So maybe you, or maybe me. Just light a fire and let me breathe
There comes a time for all life’s beautiful things
Black as black, a glimpse of dawn announces nothing since you’re gone
Snowflakes danced around your window tonight
So maybe you, or maybe me. Have I earned the right to see
Something shine behind your blue, blue satellite song
Just take the world off your shoulders, let it in
You’ve been waiting a long, long time for the spring
And I could tell you babe
Yeah, I could tell you child
Weekend at the Riverview presented me a piece of you
Ducking back to the avenue when the lights came on
I hurried out to where you’d stood, a freeze-frame from my neighbourhood
There comes a time for all life’s beautiful things
So take the world off your shoulders, let it in
You’ve been waiting a long, long time for the spring
And I could tell you babe
Yeah, I could tell you child
Yeah, we’ve got fire at the gates of dawn
We’ve got a new life waiting to unfold
So, honey, who’s sorry now?
Honey, who’s sorry now?

Simple Man

It’s so desperately easy
And it makes no difference to me
It’s just like clockwork, like the blues
And it makes no difference, come on
It’s so desperately easy
And it makes no difference to me
It’s just like clockwork, like the blues
Two yeses make no, make no….
Take a punch, better roll, better do just what you’re told
Get up, man, that looked easy
It make no difference to me
Yeah, brother, come on….
I’m just a simple man
It doesn’t matter when I’m wrong
Life just rolls over me
Won’t try to understand my fate
Yeah, we’re all leaves rustling on the breeze
It’s so desperately amusing
And it makes no difference to me
I spent my lifetime just rising above adversity, baby
And it makes no difference, come on
Yeah brother, come on
I’m just a simple man
It doesn’t matter when I’m wrong
Life just rolls over me
Won’t try to understand my fate
Yeah, we’re all leaves rustling on the breeze
Stormy weather, gonna keep it together, baby, gonna get it right
Stormy weather, gonna keep it together, baby, get it right
Coming round to your house in the middle of the night
Gonna play some rock’n’roll, gonna keep everything alive
We’ve got that stormy weather, gonna keep it together
Yeah I’m getting it right, I’m getting it right, I’m getting it right
You’d better go now, lord knows, you’d better go no
Oh yeah, it’s alright, come on round tonight
Oh yeah, brother it’s alright, let’s take it to the bridge, man we’ve gotta get out of here
I don’t wanna lose your love… I don’t wanna lose your love and honey, I know
Oh yeah, baby it’s alright, better take it to the bridge, man, we’ve gotta get outta here

Help me pull the shutters down
Leave your text books on the ground
I know it’s late and it was time to go
A good two or three hours ago, darling
Help me turn my life around
I never thought I’d be dragged down
The kid and me, after hours at a roadside bar
Watching the truckers sink just one more jar
And I can tell anybody this was made by me
Mistakes and all, all made by me
This one-horse-town is just dragging everybody down
As beauty fades into just another day
There’s whisky on the breath of that guy who started up that ten-ton-truck
And I’ve only got blind eyes left to see
Making desserts, taking my time, just taking my mind off it all
And they’ll say, “Honey, how I love the way you make that thing”
“Yeah how I love the way you make that thing”
And I can tell anybody this was made by me
Mistakes and all, all made by me
This one-horse-town is just dragging everybody down
As beauty fades into just another day

On The Moon

This could be the biggest thing that anyone here has ever seen
Spend your money, take your time
A privilege to spend this while, weaving these words into these rhymes
Catch the back door. Slam!
This could be the biggest thing that anyone here has ever seen
So proud to negociate, revindicate, associate
Man, I’m walking in circles, I’m a man on the moon, moon, moon
I’m on the moon
Yeah, we’d better think of something new
It’s so beautiful, clinical, ice could form
Between the tracks that lay me down and I’m sorry
It’s so spectacular but here we are going nowhere fast
It’s somehow sad and easy and I’m sorry
This could be the biggest thing that anyone here has ever seen
Let’s big it up, let’s shooting down
I’m just scratching the surface, I’m a man on the moon, moon, moon
I’m on the moon
Yeah, we’d better think of something new
It’s so beautiful, clinical, ice could form
Between the tracks that lay me down and I’m sorry
It’s so spectacular but here we are going nowhere fast
It’s somehow sad and easy and I’m sorry
