That ol Nick been chasing me down
All my runnin days My tail he’d pursue
He say I make a mark at the crossroads sign
Now he come a lookin gotta pay what’s due
Chorus
When they lay me down
On the the cold hard ground
(Please )don’t take away
My walking shoes
Gotta start running
Try to get ahead
Cos I wanna be in heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
Verse 2
Gonna see Saint Peter At the pearly gates
And wish him well As I steal his key
He gonna shake his head At the rush I’m in
But good saint Pete I just want you to see
Chorus
When they lay me down
On the the cold hard ground
(Please )don’t take away
My walking shoes
Gotta start running
Try to get ahead
Cos I wanna be in heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
Verse 3
Stairway to heaven won’t get me there
My hands are black n blue, my clothes threadbare
Ain’t got no pick to turn that lock
No gold to give just an empty crock
Chorus
When they lay me down
On the the cold hard ground
(Please )don’t take away
My walking shoes
Gotta start running
Try to get ahead
Cos I wanna be in heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead

Locomotive Breath
04:16
|
|||
|
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all-time loser
Headlong to his death
Oh, he feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won't stop
Oh no way to slow down
He sees his children jumping off
At the stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun
Oh, he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going
No way to slow down
Hey
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideons bible
Open at page one
I think God he stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down

Pride ‘n’ Joy

Take me to your river, baby, take me to your sea
Purify my soul an' pour your ocean over me.
Lead me to your chamber, where you sleep at night,
Scratch your name across my back, make me feel alright.
You're the best time i have ever had,
You look so good, oh babe, you must be bad.
Diamonds on your ankles, sapphires on your shoes,
Your little gems of wisdom chase away my blues.
Mama's little princess, daddy's pride and joy,
I'm like a kid at christmas, playing with your toys.
You're the best time i have ever had,
You look so good, oh babe, you must be bad.
So take me to your river, baby, take me to your sea,
Purify my soul an' pour your ocean over me.
Lead me to your chamber, where you sleep at night,
Scratch your name across my back, make me feel alright.
I have never felt this good before,
If you want i'll sleep outside your door.
You're the best time i have ever had,
You look so good, oh babe, you must be bad.

Cigarettes in hell
03:28
|
|||
|
Spend your days just walking and shopping
Depending on how much you're luck is in
Spend the night-life table-hopping
And trying to keep that bag of bones in trim
I don't mind not being immortal
''cause it ain't all that as far as I can tell
I don't mind not going to heaven
As long as they've got cigarettes
As long as they've got cigarettes in hell
By the time we get used to
The dope that's forming on the windowsill
Now we know we've got ourselves into
The cage that keeps the mice on the treadmill
I don't mind not being immortal
''cause it ain't all that as far as I can tell
I don't mind not going to heaven
As long as they've got cigarettes
As long as they've got cigarettes in hell
I don't mind not being immortal
Because it ain't all that as far as I can tell
I don't mind not going to heaven
As long as they've got cigarettes
As long as they've got cigarettes in hell

No Expectations
04:42
|
|||
|
Take me to the station
And put me on the train
I've got no expectations
To pass through here again
Once I was a rich man
Now I am so poor
But never in my sweet short life
Have I felt like this before
Your heart is like the diamond
You throw your pearls at swine
And as I watch you leavin' me
You pack my peace of mind
Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
Why is it here, and then it's gone?
So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
I got no expectations
To pass through here again

Drift off slower than the tide
On this hazy Sunday morn
All your fears spill to the waves
Let the river push you along.
Old Guitar strings still murmur
Giving flow to my old bones
Bluer than green water
singing in harmony.
Hear the birds all chant together
Sparks of song into the air
Hear the water hush the wind
that will never come today
And the chug chug chug
Of that narrow boat
Keeps me moving on
To a different melody
Set in the bluest sky

Frozen in
04:37

Frozen In
You wake, and know.
The boat is still as bones
and you, its red heart beating.
The canal was taken in its sleep
and paved with cold; the chilled air
gathers round your feet.
The ice, disgruntled, shifts itself
and chews a little on the hull,
sets itself to set again.
Beneath the glaze fish flicker
like grey flames,
silent, watchful.
Inside, you go on with the business
of making tea,
waiting for crocuses.

Nothin but a dream
04:04
|

Listen to the rain
And the whisper of trees
Try and Lose your mind
To an eastern breeze
Take me on a ride
So far from here
When my mind is gone
I’ll disappear
Chorus
Lift up my heart
Far from this ground
I Don’t wanna wake
in the morning light
All my thoughts in flight
Just to fade away
Nothin but a dream
On a summers day
Angel
of the Riverside
Will you tell me all
Of the secrets kept inside
Walkin through the sky
Everything is clear
When my mind is gone
I will disappear
Bridge
In the morning sun
I try to guess the space
From God to Man
In the span of life
In a grain of sand
I feel eternity
Through your eyes I see
What I’m meant to be
