"Stealin' All My Dreams"

"Stealin' All My Dreams"



Your pipeline will spill its disease
You shut down all the research libraries
And you muzzled all the white coats in your laboratories
Then you set your sites on the CBC

You’re stealing all my dreams
You’re stealing all my dreams

Whatever happened to our democracy?
Well, this train came into town, the Reform Party
Little King, Stevie, & his monarchy
Behind the closed doors of corporate-ocrasy

You’re stealing all my dreams
You’re stealing all my dreams

He likes an enemy conspiracy
Greatest threat to mass security
He’ll throw me in jail cause I disagree
And I’m so scared of your oil industry

‘Cuz I love the rivers & I love the stream
But, I’m scared for the children & the babies
I love the forest & I love the trees
Have you forgotten that you work for me?
You can start by honoring a treaty

You’re stealing all my dreams
You’re stealing all my dreams

War planes, computer games, robo-calls & Senate shame
It’s a crime if I descent
Supreme Court held in your contempt

Native women, not a priority
Sometimes I wonder... just how you sleep?

You’re stealing all my dreams...

"Stuck On You"

"Stuck On You"



I don't know much about love
How it cures and frees the soul
Makes you whole and all that other stuff
But I was kissed by lady luck
And I know that I'm stuck on you
Yes I know that I'm stuck on you

Sometimes it gets so very hard
It's like we're trying to tear each other apart
With every scar a deeper love revealed
Now there's nothing left to conceal
No there's nothing left to conceal

With every turn it's like we hit a wall
Do you see it the same way
And I don't want to complicate it
But I hate this place
And there's only so much that I can take
Before this glass heart breaks

And I know I've got to let you go
You were gone so long
And I didn't even know
It's just that I love you so
And I know that I'm stuck on you
Yes I know that I'm stuck on you

"Summer Girls"

"Summer Girls"



Summer girls they sure are fun
Get so golden in the sun
That they could block out any other thought
Dry your eyes and turn away
Cause there's nothing we can say
Cause we were never meant to talk a lot

And no I can't do this anymore
No I've lost the feeling
Better to be sad right now
Than later send my whole world reeling
I want something more
Than to watch you walking out my summer door

Hearts so hard to understand
Sinking slowly in the sand
They make you do the things you'd never do
Feel your mouth get desert dry
And you start to wonder why
You feel a chill when she stands next to you

And no I can't do this anymore
No I've lost the reason
Better to just hang my head
And wait here for another season
I want you to stay
After all the summer girls have gone away

There's no time left to wonder anymore
I got memories to last the whole year long
Just like the sun leaves you staring at the sky
After it's gone

Summer girls they sure are fun
Get so golden in the sun
That you could barely stand to look at them

And no I can't do this anymore
No I've lost the feeling
Better to be sad right now
Than later send my whole world reeling
I want you to stay
After all the summer girls have gone away
I need to know
That you will still be here after the others go
I need the one
Who will walk with me in fall when summer's gone
When summer's gone

"Tell Me Baby"

"Tell Me Baby"



I don't know where to begin
Is there nothing I can do
To change the state I'm in
Tell me baby
How do I get back to you
Get back to you

And I know I've made a mess of it
Every promise betrayed
You say that I'll never change
So tell me baby
How do I get back to you
Get back to you

Is it fair to take a man
So deep into your heart
Then turn him away
Cause I couldn't change a single word
I'm just a fool who believes
His own lies

Is there something that I'm missing
Is it better left unsaid
Tell me how do we get it back
To the beginning
Tell me baby
How do I get back to you
Yeah tell me baby
How do I get back to you
Get back to you
Yeah tell me baby...

"Tell Me Your Dream"

"Tell Me Your Dream"



As we sat in front of that August moon
You said the clouds they look like they have wings
Sometimes I wonder if you can read my mind
Cause I was thinking the very same thing
When I'm with you all the stars shine through
My heart opens like a morning flower
You know I'd leave it all behind
Cause my only peace of mind
Is when I'm here with you
So tell me your dream
Lay your head on my pillow
Tell me the things that you hide away
Your pain
Your pleasure
Your sorrow
Tell me the things that you hide away
Your pain your pleasure your sorrow

"The Ballad Of The Dime Store Greaser And The Blonde Mona Lisa"

"The Ballad Of The Dime Store Greaser And The Blonde Mona Lisa"



As the seconds are ticking in the corner of her eye
Nothing comes as fast as a glib reply
Like a kid who's tired of a busted old toy
The pleasure's worn thin so she makes a little extra noise
So the dime store greaser and the blonde Mona Lisa
Twist on smiles just to please each other
Until one of them finds that someone new
Well the other one is just going to have to do
Sometimes you get what you want
So be careful what you ask for
Remember what you got
Tossing her pennies in the wishing well
Mona Lisa reaches over for the sleeping pills

[Solo]

Like a jerk that butts into the front of the line
She's got her reasons and he don't mind
Absence is supposed to make the heart grow fonder
He's hoping her vacation lasts a little bit longer
And they both have their tickets for the promised land
Still they don't appreciate what they have
They can't see what's right in front of their eyes
They've been looking so long they finally went blind
And they lost what was right in front of their eyes

"The Big Push"

"The Big Push"



Tell tell me the reasons why
tell me every secret you've been told
cause everybody knows they're dangerous
Hey let me try that wonder stuff
the stuff that lets you look at them and nod
smile and say thank god it wasn't us
When it all goes to pieces
and it won't be long
once you've had your fun
we'll still be sitting here
waiting 'til the big push comes
Now the moment we've been waiting for
the moment that you'll finally realise
your promises are lies
they turn to dust
Time time changes everything
can turn you from a hero to a dog
living in a fog like the rest of us
When it all goes to pieces
and it won't be long
once you've had your fun
we'll all just sit around
wait until the big push comes
Write write me a pretty poem
make believe that paradise is here
future's coming clear
sun through the clouds
And when it all goes to pieces
and it won't be long
once you've had your fun
we'll still be sitting here
waiting 'til the big push comes
and when it all goes to pieces
and it won't be long
once you've had your fun
we'll all just sit around
and wait until the big push comes

"The Days In Between"

"The Days In Between"



Then there are the days in between
Don’t want to move
I just want to forget
When everything seems hollow and mean
Smoke another cigarette and go back to bed
These are the days in between
For no good reason

Just looking for a place to hide
So burnt out I can’t explain
So I took a ride down to the end of the line
Just stumbling around from day to day
These are the days in between

And I was happy for a while
But then I started chasing your stone cold heart
But then everything started falling apart

Yeah I was happy for awhile

Eight times up
Seven times down
Watching it all go to hell
And you feel like giving up
You get lost awhile
These are the days in between
Living underneath a bad spell

But then I started chasing your stone cold heart
And I was happy for a while
But then everything started falling apart
Yeah I was happy for awhile

"The Seeker"

"The Seeker"



You were the seeker
Then you found there's nothing to find
It'll all come down to you in its own good time
No one's the older
No one's the wiser
No one cares
When every step takes you from nowhere
Going from somewhere to here

Your quiet eyes almost vacant
There's no need to explain
The fine line between stealing and giving
In the landscape of the saint

You were the dreamer
Who got lost in your escape
When beauty became a prison
You found your freedom in the mundane

So when will I see what you see
You say it's got nothing to do with being worthy
When will I see what you see

When you've gone and lost
What you thought you never had
And you're numb with the fear
That it's never coming back
It makes no difference
It's gonna be what it's gonna be
Sometimes the purest gold comes from
The hands of a thief

So when will I see what you see
You say it's got noting to do with being worthy
When will I see what you see
When will I see what you see

"This Road"

"This Road"



Driving home after the show
Listening to the radio
Speaker rattles
Driver side door
And Jane sings a song about
That old tin drum
Banging on the shore

There's a tear in my heart
Thinking of so many friends
Some I just left
Some I'll never see again

I'll be home in just a few hours' time
But for now I love the coffee
And exploding stars
And the fat moon shining on the passing cars

And this road
This road
It goes on like a dream
N like a dream
It's all I can do to keep my hands on the wheel
Cause I've forgotten what is real
And I'm blinded by the snow
And the radio's glow

Caffeine spills into my eyes
I feel like I could drive all night
Cause this highway
Is just a smile
On the hand of god
So I'll abide

On this road
This road
It goes on like a dream
It's all I can do to keep my hands on the wheel
Cause I've forgotten what is real
And I'm blinded by the snow
And the radio's glow
