1.Fairy Tale Of Montreal
believe me please i'm being sincere
for the first and maybe the last time
we don't need to be told what to do
I almost died when I found out about hope
I would give everything I own
to my friends my family my love
if it means they will always be with me
if it means they won't ever forget me
it's 4 am and tomorrow laughs at me
the city smile is so beautiful and true
i'm counting scars on my way back home
the quiet street is like music to my ear
we have our songs our fears and our drinks
do you see what everyone can't see
yeah tonight the floor is calling me
I don't mind as long as there's you and whiskey
I don't mind as long as there's you and music
2.El Rancho
el rancho
there's nothing at all that could make me fall
the champagne of beer or the lost of my hope
i' been chasing my own shadow all week...
let's drive back home
i miss montreal but he (she) wants to move out of here
i miss montreal but he (she) wants to start over again
we're not done yet we still have things to do
we still have smiles to give we're still having fun
last night was good tomorrow will be better...
let's stay here forever
i miss my girl she wants to be here with me
i miss my friends i really need a cold beer
i miss my friends here in el rancho
3.Looking For You
my mistake was half the kill
but what i said finished it off
i know i am never here
and when i am i'm never there for you
you say all you want is the truth
well it's the truth my dear that you hate so much
i would love to stay with you
but i have to sing along with my boys at the bar
if i lied about the past or if the truth was really sad
and if we fight almost every night then i'm to blame
but i swear if you weren't there it wouldn't be the same
honey you're the best so gimme another chance
i'd be living all my life yeah baby
i'd be living every second of my live looking for you
september i'm leaving again
singing sad songs about being away from you
i would love to stay with you
but i have to sing along with my boys on the road
i'd walk one thousand miles looking for you
4.Building And Bridges
d' you remember the beach and the bridges
the buildings and the first time we left
i found confidence inside a bottle
that i still kiss before i go to bed
i'm walking with my head up there
but i'm running with black eyes
i should be the one that's laughing
but i could never be that proud
two weeks from now (i'll) we'll be missing this (them)
but if (i'd) we'd stay here (i'd) we'd be drowning deep
and i can't wait to see you again and again and again
but the road is calling my ugly name
5.The Bob Marsh International Horseshoe Tournament
come on throw another perfect ringer
one twist in the air the sound of victory
3points 3beers 3am another winner
this one is for bob marsh and family
we lost our minds a long time ago
enjoy this one we won't be back for more
we're having fun but boredom is so close
'i have a warm log cabin let's buy some bottles'
cowboy hats sunflower seeds and beer
shane macgowan good ol' stories and whiskey
hey louis are you ready for another game
'one cigarette one beer and i'm on my way'
you take the blue or d'you want the red
traditions sometimes make a big difference
wolves and deers trees and memories
it was good to be out of reality
drink drink drink pass the bottle
look out the window it is so wonderful
'where the men are pretty the women are
strong and the children above average'
the marsh international horseshoe tournament
6.A Small Piece Of Paper In My Shoe
Close your eyes one more time
I won,t ever see you again
Say hi to everyone
Let's take the bus and leave the scene
The worst goodbyes in the world
I learn about you on crooked lines
I should go to sleep now
I never thought I could be caught in time
Was it the sweet words of happiness
Did you really feel so natural
When walking and freezing actually becomes
The best thing you did in the last year
There's a piece of you in every city
We go wasting our time in front of empty bars
It's part of me and I'm part of it
Don't follow anyone you know that well
And I wanna get lost in your room tonight
Nobody's bored with the USA anymore
I hate everything everywhere I've went
But I love you more than life itself
So let's burn the night with the cheapest wine
Let's make love to remember everything
And I wanna get lost in you room tonight
Nobody's bored with the USA anymore
And you should cut your hair shorter
And give me another bottle of sincerity
7.Small Town Girl
small town girl you look so fine
sweet sixteen let's dance all night
i met you at the drive thru
you hate this town and i hate it too
full of rednecks with bad tattoos
pack your gear and let's get out of here
honey bring your dog there's room for both of you
we'll stop at the liquor store for gin and beer
driving across america with our middle fingers out the window
let's go small town girl this place is not for you
small town girl i miss your smile
tight blue jeans and cowboys hat
you were so sweet for a while
now you're back home with mom and dad
your brother joe and your small town life
it was alright for a while
honey there was no room for both of you
the dog was fine but it was harder for you
driving across america with our middle fingers out the window
let's go small town girl this life was not for you
honey bring your dog there's room for both of you
we'll stop at the record store for some johnny cash
driving across america with our middle fingers out the window
let's go small town girl this life was not for you
8.Old Dogs
the lovely sinking ocean
the lonely crying road
the last standing light post proud but alone
that old rusted street bench
from berkeley to chicago
i miss our old town cold but beautiful
and we could still make it today
if we manage to stay on our feet
and the promise of better days
fuck it we're doing fine without it
we're like old dogs on tour
a crumbling house in fargo
drink with you in orlando
this city looks fine when the lights are all closed
walking 'round seattle
there's way too many angels
it's too late for beer I need a coke
and we still think of excuses to drink
every night for the past seven years
and i know she'll be with you tonight
but staying home would be like dying
we're like old dogs on tour
and we still think of excuses to drink
every night for the past seven years
and i know she'll be with you tonight
but staying home would be like dying
and we still need excuses to drink
tonight and tomorrow morning
and we could still make it today
after all there's something on my feet
we're like old dogs on tour
9.Dying To Forget
this whole life won't be enough
but i hope to remember everything
even though now i'm dying to forget
on our way to the bank
or in the room of a falling brother
on top of the hill
it's harder to choose now between walking and running
between collapsing and falling lying and pretending
there isn't enough time today
to think about want i should have said
i know it's the excitement of novelty
yesterday is still looking at me with evil eyes and crooked lies
the sky could still be pink if i was still running on bad luck
seconds define nightmares or was i in heaven
a picture that i feel like burning
seconds define nightmares of was i in heaven
a movie that i won't ever watch
call my name it sounds like shit anyway
i miss your hands
i miss the city i hate
i'll spray paint my love 2507
this whole life won't be enough
but i'll remember everything
even though now i'm dying to forget
