Double Miner

"Double Miner"
I was born a double miner
Way back beneath the woods
My people in the Carolinas
How could I wind up diggin' holes in the cold, dark ground
Ooh ooh, I'm going down
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh down
We drove to Mississippi
Just north of Baton Rouge
There were voodoo rites in the Cajun night
Sometimes you're better off just paying' the Devil his dues
Ooh ooh, I'm goin' down
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh down
Ooh ooh, I'm goin' down
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh down
Ooh ooh, I'm goin' down
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh down
Ooh ooh, I'm goin' down
Ooh ooh, I'm goin' down
They criticized me and then they enlightened me
Ooh ooh ooh down

Bomb

"Bomb"
He wakes up in the morning
He pulls his shirt and boots on
He grabs his lunchpail and heads out into the light
And he goes and he goes and he works all day
For his meager little paycheck
When Monday comes, his money is already spent
And when he gets home, his dinner's cold
His wife is yappin' at the kids and he snaps
And decides he'll run away
He's gonna drop a bomb on you
He's gonna drop a bomb on you
He's gonna drop a bomb on you
He's gonna drop a bomb on you
He's gonna drop a bomb on you
He's gonna drop a bomb on you
He hopes one day for a better life
As he scratches his lottery ticket
The jackpot never comes, he hangs his head
And he goes and he goes and he works all day
For his meager little paycheck
When Monday comes, it's off to work again
He's gonna drop a bomb on you
He's gonna drop a bomb on you
He's gonna drop a bomb on you
He's gonna drop a bomb on you
He's gonna drop a bomb on you
He's gonna drop a bomb on you
He dropped a bomb on you
He dropped a bomb on you
He dropped a bomb on you
He dropped a bomb on you
He dropped a bomb on you
He dropped a bomb on you
Oh whoa oh whoa
Oh whoa oh whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Oh whoa oh whoa
Oh whoa oh whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Judy

"Judy"
Judy let me know
Should I even try?
Are you home alone?
Or with another guy?
Judy can't you see
I've given you my heart?
Will you come and hold me close?
Or watch me fall apart?
I've been waitin' I've been prayin' that we'd get together for so long
Oh please please tell me
Tell me right from wrong
Judy this is me
Puttin' it on the line
If the truth be told
I want you all the time
And I guess that we both know
We could never be
Maybe in another life
Judy, Judy, Judy wait for me
I've been waitin' I've been prayin' that we'd get together for so long
Oh please please tell me
Tell me right from wrong
Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy
Judy everyday
Judy in the skies
You know that we're in love
So please don't act surprised
And even if it's sin
In Hell, I'll do my time
As long as you are there with me
Judy watch me, Judy watch me burn
I've been waitin' I've been prayin' that we'd get together for so long
Oh please please tell me
Tell me right from wrong
Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy

Live Like Lions

"Live Like Lions"
We are right here where we should be
Payin' reverence to our gods and our beliefs
And if we sat through a world on fire
If it all goes up in smoke
I still miss you like I missed you all along
I'll tell you one thing you should know
If you're gonna stand up and be counted, then let's go
We can choose to live like lions or conveniently forget
We can stand our ground and fight and win it all
Come on now, children of the night
Let's go lay waste to every fuckin' thing in sight
Awaken creatures of the dawn
Go forth and kill and carry on
Go forth and kill and carry on
Hard times are comin', that's for sure
Days of poverty and hate and death and war
We might not be proud like lions and we may have some regrets
But we're killers, we are born killers in the end
Come on now, children of the night
Let's go lay waste to every fuckin' thing in sight
Awaken creatures of the dawn
Go forth and kill and carry
Awaken creatures of the dawn
Go forth and kill and carry
Awaken creatures of the dawn
Go forth and kill and carry on

Happily
02:41
|

"Happily"
We're impostors
Living in our very own skin
I don't know where it all begins and ends no more
We can't listen
'Cause we don't talk anymore
We'll have to learn to ignore all these memories
Guess I'm gonna move far away
'Cause I just can't stand to see you livin' happily
Think it over
Let's go back to the start
Before we broke each other's hearts a thousand times
You never cared about money
Even though we never had enough
You seemed to like simpler stuff
Maybe you settled
Guess I'm gonna move far away
'Cause I just can't stand to see you living
Living without me
Guess I'm gonna move far away
'Cause I just can't stand to see you living happily
Guess I'm gonna move far away
'Cause I just can't stand to see you living
Living without me
Guess I'm gonna move far away
Guess I'm gonna move far away
Guess I'm gonna move far away
'Cause I just can't stand to see you livin' happily

Lonesome
02:49
|

"Lonesome"
Feels like I've been here all night
Had a shit ton of beers itchin' to fight
I won't call you
I'd better go home
By my lonesome
The damage is already done
There's a million ten races already run
And you can't ever hide from your fears
When you're lonesome
When you're lonesome
Here comes the cold hand of doom
Feel his icy dead grip
As he walks in the room
No escapin', he'll come for us all
When we're lonesome
When we're lonesome
When we're lonesome

"Hooligans"
Olé olé olé olé
Olé olé
Olé olé olé olé
Olé olé
We grew up down the block together
Gettin' in trouble with the law
Never worried about a long-lost love or romance
Walk them streets early in the evenin'
Singin' out our favorite songs
And if somebody ever crosses our path, then fuck 'em
Back when
Back when we was hooligans
Drinkin' beers in the alley of the Rat
Original Beantown firm
Central Square and the lights go down on Broadway
We belong, we belong together
We stand proud and true
Remember when I said that I'd always be there for you
Back when
Back when we was hooligans
Back when
Back when we was hooligans
And we rely on each other
We will provide for each other
And we rely on each other
We will provide for each other
And we rely on each other
We will provide for each other
And we rely on each other
We will provide for each other
Back when
Back when we was hooligans
Back when
Back when we was hooligans
Back when
Back when we was hooligans
Olé olé olé olé
Olé olé
Olé olé olé olé
Olé olé

Two Robbers

"Two Robbers"
One night
In the Moors
Riding towards the Highlands
I was trying to make it home
Two robbers
Came for me
Two robbers
Came for me
I had no place to go
I feared for my life
Drew my pistol, drew my knife
Shots rang out
And two robbers hit the ground
One robber said to the other, "I am dead"
"I'm dying, I'm dying"
"Have you any silver?"
"Have you any gold?"
"Then hand it over now"
I feared for my life
Drew my pistol, drew my knife
Shots rang out
And two robbers hit the ground
One robber said to the other, "I am dead"
"I'm dying, I'm dying"
Blood began to flow
My hands, they reeked of murder
And they put them in the ground
I feared for my life
Drew my pistol, drew my knife
Shots rang out
And two robbers hit the ground
One robber said to the other, "I am dead"
"I'm dying, I'm dying"

Try To Make It Right

"Try To Make It Right" (Darkbuster)
Woke up this morning
Sunlight hurt my eyes
I looked around and noticed you was gone
Much to my surprise
I really don't remember
Did I do something wrong?
Come back, my baby
Please come home
And I'll try to make
And I'll try to make it right
And I'll try to make
And I'll try to make it right
What happened to you?
You left me flat
I turned around, and you were gone
And I'll try to make
And I'll try to make it right
And I'll try to make
And I'll try to make it right
And I'll try to make
And I'll try to make it right
And I'll try to make
And I'll try to make it right

"Bruiser"
No, I never meant to leave you, buddy
We're so sad we have to see you go
And whenever you was gone from us, we shook out of control
We was runnin' with the real kids, baby
They was runnin' with me
And we miss you, Bruiser
No one's ever gonna know the love
The love we shared for you
Now it seems as if we're all alone
Haven't got a clue
But I swear that we would fight the Devil
To hold you in our arms
And we love you, Bruiser
And I'm writin' just to hopefully let you know
That your Mom and Pop are always gonna love you so
We'll be together, buddy, it won't be long
We'll keep you from harm
And I'm singin' with the hopes of maybe you can hear
And remember how we love each other all the years
We'll be together, buddy, it'll be soon
'Til then here's this tune
Bruiser, Bruiser, Bruiser
