"Demolition Love"

"Demolition Love"


Can you see my heart beating in my mouth
Thank God the bones will keep it there inside
And you won't have to see this latest casualty
And you can get yourself away from
all my demolition love

Can you hear me laugh dazed and scared to death
Thank God my thoughts aren't drifting
through the air
'Cause you would catch me there bound so
tightly to your knees
The dirt beneath your feet is all I need
to be completely mad

Yeah hey hey
Yeah hey hey

Can you picture me here in Calgary
Thank God the voices screaming in my head
would sooner wish instead than face the
bitterness of loss
I can take it now I know myself in
demolition love
Yeah hey hey
Yeah hey hey
Yeah hey hey

Can you see my heart

"Downtown"

"Downtown"


When you're alone
And life is making you lonely,
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares so go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, no finer place for sure
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
(Downtown)

Don't hang around
And let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know
Some little places to go to
Where they never close downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares so go
Downtown where all the lights are bright,
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're gonna be alright now
(Downtown, downtown)

Downtown
(Downtown)

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you,
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along

So, maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares and go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, don't wait a minute more
Downtown, everything's waiting for you

Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)

"Dreams"
(originally by Fleetwood Mac)

"Dreams"
(originally by Fleetwood Mac)



Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
What you had
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know

"Everybody's Broken"

"Everybody's Broken"


Everybody hates Billy Wolfe ‘cause he doesn’t he look the way they do
He sits in the back with his patched up knapsack taking the abuse
He can’t even hid the bruises inside those kids can be so cruel
Everybody hates Billy Wolfe in the land of the red, white, black, and blue
Oh, everybody’s broken

Eight-five years she’s been living right here when they took her from her home
To her little white room with a cup and a spoon and the dress that she had on
Nobody came they’ve forgotten her name it’s like she disappeared
She’s just Clara-Marie and that’s who she sees when she looks into the mirror
Oh, everybody’s broken
Oh, everybody’s broken

She lost her son on February one, of two thousand and four
Wrong place, wrong time your life became a land mine right outside her door
There used to be kites and strings of lights to decorate her skies
Now clouds of smoke just shroud the hope and all she can do is cry
Oh, everybody’s broken
Oh, everybody’s broken

"Everything Almost"

"Everything Almost"


There's a place I'm headin' for and an old familiar road
There's a face that I adore, a body and a soul
I've been away for far too long
I've tried to make it all work out
But all do is think of you
And dream about the love we had

I wanna travel back in time
To every place we've been
Tennessee and Calgary and New York in the spring
The way you make my head spin round
The way you make my heart implode
Your breathing was as sweet as sound
I think that I will never know

There's a place I'm runnin' to, it's just beyond the hill
In my mind, it's never changed, I doubt it ever will
And everything we had was almost
Everything I ever wanted
And now it seems that I was missing out
On you and what was meant to happen

There's a place I'm headin' for and an old familiar road
There's a face that I adore, a body and a soul
I've been away for far too long
I've tried to make it all work out
But all do is think of you
And dream about the love we had

"Fighting For The World"

"Fighting For The World"


Christmas all of us
Waiting to hear footsteps
You're off at war and you're fighting for
The freedom of the world

New Year's evening
Candles burning they're nearly gone
We sit with our folded hands
While you're fighting for the world
While you're fighting for the world

Easter morning
No sign of the one we love
We sit at the table
While you're fighting for the world
While you're fighting for the world
While you're fighting for the world
While you're fighting for the world

Christmas all of us

"Four Feet Deep"

"Four Feet Deep"


Winter falling down on me
Icy snow blind misery
Crashing engines flashing lights
Blood stained shirtless love shot eyes

If only the sun could break through the gray
If we could undo what's been done
If only the night could turn into day
And find us some way in love
Love

Tracing angels half asleep
Counting heartbeats four feet deep
Distant sirens drawing near
Will they find me lying here

If only the sun could break through the gray
If we could undo what's been done
If only the night could turn into day
And find us some way in love
Love

Frozen broken-hearted me
Haunted wanted memories
All of them gone now I'm on my own
All of them pass miles and miles from home

Love
If only the sun could break through the gray
If we could undo what's been done
If only the night could turn into day
And find us some way in love
If only the sun could break through the gray
If we could undo what's been done
If only the night could turn into day
And find us some way in love
Love
Love

"Free"

"Free"


It’s like I faded
Just like the curtains in the sun
Just like the clouds I’ve fallen from
I let you change me
Down to the color of my hair
Til I can’t find me anywhere

[CHORUS:]
So I’m punching out walls and tearing down paper
Cutting my bangs, yeah sooner than later
I’m selling my soul right back to Jesus
Taking up hope and giving up weakness
Untangling the strings
I’m free, yeah
I’m free, yeah

I’m feeling better
Now that your stuff’s out in the yard
I should send God a thank you card
Cause he’ll forgive me
Even if you never do
I never did look good in blue

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I’m feeling better now that your stuff’s out in the yard

"Gasoline"

"Gasoline"


Hold out your heart and on it let the sun shine down
Open your mind and through it let the wisdom pour
Give me your word and I will give you all my trust
Give me a sign and I will give you all my love

There's dirt in my mouth from kissing who
I should not dare
There's mud coming out with every rip and every tear
This thing beneath my ribs will beat me to the ground
I've got to hold out my heart, on it let the sun
shine down (got to hold out my heart)
The sun shine down

My guilty skin like gasoline is burning out a hole in me
my guilty heart lies here in ruin, in ruin

Nobody knows me, no one will ever see
the distance between what is and what will never be
A bird will break his wings
Like a heart will cut her strings
And there isn't anything to comfort me

My guilty skin like gasoline is burning out a hole in me
my guilty heart lies here in ruin, in ruin

A bird will break his wings
Like a heart will cut her strings
And there isn't anything to comfort me (hold out your heart)

Gasoline
Gasoline

"Give Me Back My Heart"

"Give Me Back My Heart"


Give me back my heart
It was never mine to give away
I'ts been taken apart
One too many times
And now the pieces won't fit into place

The truth is, I know how to lie
I lie to myself all the time
I told you, you could have it
But I was out of my mind
You can have any other part of me
But please give back my heart

Hearts and arrows, drawn in the snow
Heaven's angels lay down their bows
Love is weary, love is worn out
Please give back my heart

I finally fell asleep last night
I had no lover's serenade
A crescent moon had ripped the sky
And stars were falling from my eyes
A tear-soaked lullaby

God was busy healing baby's bruises
God was busy answering prayers
God was busy cleaning a wounded earth
God was busy picking you off the ground

Hearts and arrows, drawn in the snow
Heaven's angels lay down their bows
Love is weary, love is worn out
Please give back my heart
Hearts and arrows, drawn in the snow
Heaven's angels lay down their bows
Love is weary, love is worn out
Please give back my heart

Please give back my heart

Please give back my heart

Please give back my heart
