"Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced"

"Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced"


I play in a band, we're the best in the land
We're big in both Chelsea and France
I play one mean guitar and then score at the bar
There's a line of chicks waiting for their chance
So come on now honey, I'll make you feel pretty
These other gals mean nothing to me
Let's finish these drinks and be gone for the night
'Cause I'm more than a handful, you'll see

[Chorus:]
So kiss me, I'm shitfaced
I'm soaked, I'm soiled and brown
in the trousers, she kissed me
And I only bought her one round

I can bench press a car, I'm an ex football star
with degrees from both Harvard and Yale
Girls just can't keep up, I'm a real love machine
I've had far better sex while in jail
I've designed the Sears Tower, I make two grand an hour
I cook the world's best duck flambe
I'll take the pick of the litter, girls jockey for me
I don't need these lines to get laid

[Chorus]

I'm a man of the night, a real ladies delight
See my figure was chiseled from stone
One more for the gal then I'll escort her home
Come last call, I'm never alone
I've a house on the hill with a red water bed
That puts Hugh Heffnor's mansion to shame
With girls by the pool and Italian sports cars
I'm just here in this dump for the game

[Chorus x2]

Ahh, fuck it. Who am I shitting?

I'm a pitiful sight, and I ain't all that bright
I'm definitely not chiseled from stone
I'm a cheat and a liar, no woman's desire
I'll probably die cold and alone

But just give me a chance, 'cause deep down inside
I swear I got a big heart of gold
I'm a monogamous man, no more one night stands
Come on, honey, let me take you home

[Chorus x4]

"Knock Me Down"
(originally by The Outlets)



Waiting for the while
Will she ring my dial
Can’t stay out past eight
Bored out all the rest

She knows where her heart goes

She thinks I’m a jerk
Taught her dirty words
Sweat and bake and heal
Is my timing real

She knows where her heart goes

Knock me down again

"Last Letter Home"

"Last Letter Home"




Hello there my dearest love
Today I write to you about our sons
The boys start school today
They're the spitting image of you in every way

Hey son it's Dad
I hope this letter finds you well out of harm's way
We saw the news today it frightened your Mom
Now all she does is pray

[Chorus:]
If I lead will you follow?
Will you follow if I lead?

Hey Melissa it's me don't be afraid
I'm in good hands I'm gonna be home soon
It's time to watch the children grow up
I wanna be more than a voice on the phone

Thanks Ma I got your package today
I love "The Fields Of Athenry"
I swear I want 'em to play that song on the pipes
At my funeral when I die

[Chorus]

I stand alone in the distance
And the foreground slowly moves

[Chorus]

"We regret to inform you that on January 28th Sgt. Andrew
Farrar died while serving his country in the Al-Anbar province
of Iraq words cannot convey our sorrow"

[Chorus]

When there's nothing on the horizon
You've got nothing left to prove

If I lead will you follow?

"Loyal To No-One"

"Loyal To No-One"



I first meet this man by the Capen street Tracks
In no shape for success headed nowhere to fast

He may have been someone once by the sound of his call
Now he answers to no one,
NO-ONE AT ALL!

We all die alone, he shouted as he passed
with no sense of regret, see he never looked back

For his pride was wounded, his ego was strong
Yea that was his Trouble and this is his Song

You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight
There'll be no talking your way out this time
So don't count the cash cause you leave it behind

His friends come and go like the seasons and tide
He can't keep a women they all realize
He loves them, leaves them, takes what he needs
He's loyal to no one, no one at all

You were brought up well still in spite of it all
You're touched by nothing, watch a man fall
Put a foot on his back to get a better view
Cause your loyal to No-one. NO-ONE BUT YOU!

You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight
There'll be no talking your way out this time
So don't count the cash cause you leave it behind

He was broken and tired wouldn't take a hand
Their kindness was simple but he couldn't understand

See it's hard to have faith in something so new
When your loyal to no one, NO-ONE BUT YOU!!

You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight
There'll be no talking your way out this time
So don't count the cash cause you leave it behind

You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight

"Memorial Day"

"Memorial Day"



You’ve gotta pick yourself up by the bootstraps
No one’s gonna help you out when you fall
You’ve gotta find a way out of your problems
When you’re broke and you’re backed up against the wall
If you sleep on your only chances
They’ll never come around again
So dig deep and swing for the fences
You never know it might work out in the end

Come join the fight
So we can change the way we’re living
What’s left inside?
If you believe
Believe you’ll never give in
Come join the fight
Turn away and you’ll be sure to lose it
Hold onto those dreams
They’re the one thing they can’t take away now

I was young and I wouldn’t hear it
You had opinions I had mine too
Just a kid with all the answers
A pompous pride and not one clue
It’s getting late now shadow’s falling
As the sun sets on my time
There’s always something there to remind me
I try to keep up and still fall behind

Come join the fight
So we can change the way we’re living
What’s left inside?
If you believe
Believe you’ll never give in
Come join the fight
Turn away and you’ll be sure to lose it
Hold onto those dreams
They’re the one thing they can’t take away now

What’s left inside?
If you believe
Believe you’ll never give in

I was young and I wouldn’t hear it
You had opinions I had mine too
Just a kid with all the answers
A pompous pride and not one clue

Come join the fight
So we can change the way we’re living
What’s left inside?
If you believe
Believe you’ll never give in
Come join the fight
Turn away and you’ll be sure to lose it
Hold onto those dreams
They’re the one thing they can’t take away now

Come join the fight

"Memories Remain"

"Memories Remain"


Well we started shooting hoops,
Now we're sipping Black and Tans
From the park to the pub
Was the course we ran.
The times have changed, but friends remain
My heart and soul's with you
Cause one thing's for sure, i always swore,
I'd never turn my back on you-

Never turned our backs,
Stuck together through and through,
The times have changed,
But my heart and soul's with you
Wouldn't turn your backs
And you didn't walk away
We'd never run,
We'd stand as one,
And this is what we'd say:

[Chorus]
Times were tough,
But the memories remain
Situations rough,
But we overcame.
Side by side, one for all,
Together we grew
Cause when it's said and done,
I'll look back on friends like you

When I was down and I was out
And no one liked my games,
One too many fights and bloody night
For which i was to blame
But you wouldn't turn your backs
And you didn't walk away
Cause we'd never run We'd stand as one
Until this very day

Never turn our backs
Together through and through
The times have changed,
But my heart and soul's with you
Wouldn't turn your backs
And you didn't walk away
We'd never run, we'd stand as one
Until this very day

[Chorus x2]

"Mob Mentality"
(this song is done by 'McBusiness' which is a combination of the Dropkick Murphys and the Business)



Styles and opinions change faster than the world
For plastic punks seeking teenage pleasure
You don’t know what it is to earn your pay
What do you know about the scene today

I see you’re living in a mob mentality

Wanna be a working class old school
You’re A deadhead around the block
Thinking you’re one of the mob
You’ve only been around since ‘92
Nirvana Offspring Green Day too

I see you’re living in a mob mentality
What do you fucking know
You best get ready for a forced reality
Can you stand on your own

Skinheads on the web page punks on the net
You know what it’s about well I think you forget
Chocking on your greed is the price you pay
What do you know about the scene today

I see you’re living in a mob mentality
I see you’re living in a mob mentality
What do you fucking know
You best get ready for a forced reality
Can you stand on your own

"My Hero"

"My Hero"



May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be at your back
Yeah, that's what dear old Dad would say
Remember your old man
When you've finally had your moment
Should fame and fortune come your way

I wouldn't trade your wisdom, Dad
I thank you for your time
You said “son, keep on working 'til the stars one day align”
But maybe luck don't seem to shine
On stubborn fools like me and you
Make the most of what they give you
To yourself you must be true
To yourself you must be true

And we'll live
To fight another day
Things don't always go our way
And we'll live
To fight another day
Yeah, that's what my old man would say

May the spirits all be with you
May the Devil turn his back
When the day is at its darkest and anxiety attacks
Call on me to see you through it
Call on me to be your guide
I'll be there, son, when you need me
I'll be standing by your side
I'll be standing by your side

And we'll live
To fight another day
Things don't always go our way
And we'll live
To fight another day
Yea, that's what my old man would say

My hero, my heart
My hero, my heart
My hero, my heart
My Hero, my heart

To yourself you must be true
To yourself you must be true

And we'll live
To fight another day
Things don't always go our way
And we'll live
To fight another day
Yea, that's what my old man would say

My Hero
My Hero

"Never Again"
(originally by Angelic Upstarts)



Never, never, never again
Will Tommy die for you

Over the top the unknown go
Into a land where no man lives
Say goodbye to his friends
Cause they will never see Tommy again
General, general on the top of the hill
Middle class man whose blood won’t spill
Kept out of the action, out of harm’s way
Cause he’s gonna find that Tommy’s dead

Never, never, never again

War is over so they say
How many Tommys died that day
Now it’s over count the cost
A ring of roses for those that lost
A place in history is what they’ve got
For what they paid it’s not a lot
Medals and statues are no compensation
For working class heros who died for you

Never, never, never again
Will Tommy die for you

Over the top the unknown go
Into a land where no man lives
Say goodbye to his friends
Cause they will never see Tommy again
General, general on the top of the hill
Middle class man whose blood won’t spill
Kept out of the action, out of harm’s way
Cause he’s gonna find that Tommy’s dead

"Never Alone"

"Never Alone"



You say it's because we're boisterous
You hate us 'cause we got our dignity
There's a difference between the two of us
It's a sense of morality and what corrupts
We stand together so proud and strong
Is this a place where we belong

We got loyal friends
We keep our heads held high,
We'll stick together you and I
Don't need no guns or no drugs on our streets
just a place to go and the boots on our feet.

Young skinhead they call you a hooligan
Just because you don't make any sense to them
You're a hardworking man whose paid his dues
But they still call you racist on the evening news
And the blood that runs right down your wrist
Don't come from a knife, but the cuts on your fist

Your torn up knuckles and faded blue jeans
Are the colors you wear and the life that you've seen
You tell the truth look people in the eye
Don't live your life in no baggy disguise.

Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.

I don't need no gang to watch my ass
Just loyal friendship and a pint of Bass
In the midst of the chaos and insanity
I'm a member of the working class society
We'll sweat in the ring and bleed in the streets
But our will and spirit can never be beat

You can shoot and you can kick but together we'll stick
Through thick and thin not stick nor stone
Can break the bond that has here grown
Arm and Arm We Fight As One.

Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
