Chorus:
And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day,
you've just got to say... it's all right.
Janie sings on the corner, what keeps her from dying
Let them say what they want, she won't stop trying
Oh, you know
She might stumble, if they push her 'round
She might fall, but she'll never lie down... it's not so bad
And I say,
Chorus
'Cause it's alright, it's alright It's alright!
Accordian Solo
In this beautiful life there's always some sorrow
And it's a double edged knife, but there's always tomorrow
It's up to you now if you sink or swim,
Just keep the faith that you're ship will come in... it's not so bad
And I say,
Chorus (2x)
'Cause I've got a smile on my and I've got four walls around me.
His Exhaltation, a sweet disintegration.
A few discolourations, then it comes along
Up is what he chooses, the kisses and the bruises
There ain't nothing he refuses, then it comes along
It comes along, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!
Chorus:
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
He just needs, something to blind him
Something to wind him up
It won't take long to find him
When it comes on strong.
Wise guys are grinning, street lights are spinning
The night is just beginning, and then it comes on strong
It comes on strong, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!
Chorus
Oh it comes on strong, and I am lifted.
It comes on strong, and I am lifted.
I am lifted, I am lifted!
Chorus
Oh, I can't get down
Oh no, no, no, no, no, I can't get down
Oh-oh-oh I can't get down
Chorus:
That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy
That's how they showed their honour and their pride;
They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another
And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died
As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief
Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street
They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole
They put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold
Chorus
About two o'clock in the morning after emptying the jug
Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Paddy's mug
We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time
And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine
Chorus
They stopped the hearse on George Street outside Sundance Saloon
They all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon
They went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime
Found out when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind!
Chorus
Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget
Some of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet;
As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay
O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play
Chorus
Well every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died!
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday?"
It seemed like only days ago, we had so much to say
Did we take it all for granted?, did it all get thrown away?
"It calls for rain this afternoon", you finally replied
Then there was such a stuttering silence, that I felt my mouth go dry
We'll talk about the weather, cause there's not much more to say...
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday?"
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday?"
Has all the ice been broken?
All our surfaces been scratched?
Have all the words been spoken?
Have we finally met our match?
'Cause its an awkward conversation, In a most peculiar way
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday?"
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday?"
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday?"
Whistle Solo
Was you ever in Quebec
Launchin' timber on the deck?
Where ya break yer bleedin' neck
Ridin' on a donkey!
Chorus
Was you ever 'round Cape Horn
Where the weather's never warm?
Wished to God you'd never been born
Ridin' on a donkey.
Chorus
Was you ever in Miramichi
Where ye tie up to a tree,
An' the girls sit on yer knee?
Ridin' on a donkey
Chorus
Was you ever in Fortune Bay
See the girls all shout, "Hooray!"?
"Here comes dad with ten weeks pay
Riding on a donkey."
Chorus
Was you ever in London-town
See the King he does come down?
See the King in his golden crown
Riding on a donkey
Chorus (2x)
Can you hear me, when I'm calling out to you?
Can you see me, sometimes in the night
When you put out the light?
I haven't seen you in a long time
Since you put me away
I only see you in my dream time, at the break of day
I know I never ever listen, my whole life through.
If I had heard your words of wisdom,
I could be with you.
Can you feel me,
When he's making love to you?
Can you hear me,
When your alone, when you hang up the phone,
When its real late at night, and you put out the light!
I still see you and I still feel you
And when I'm alone my mind starts to roam
You come in the night when I turn out the light
I haven't seen you in a long time since I've been gone
It always seemed to be the wrong time
It's the same old song
Looks like we'll never be together our whole life through
There might be changes in the weather
But not for me and you.
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds, snakes, an aeroplanes,
Lenny
Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn -
world serves its
own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed it off an aux speak, grunt,
no,
strength, Ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire
in a fire, representing
seven games, a government for hire and a combat site. Left of west
and coming in a
hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters
baffled, trumped,
tethered cropped. Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh, overflow,
population,
common food, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves
its own needs,
listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered and
the right, right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
psyched.
Chorus:
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.
Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign towers. Slash and
burn, return, listen
to yourself churn. Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting.
Every motive escalate.
Automotive incinerate. Light a votive, light a candle. Step down, step
down. Watch your
heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no fear cavalier. Renegade steer
clear! A tournament,
tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
and I decline.
Chorus x 2
The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide. Mountains
sit in a line, Leonard
Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs. Birthday
party, cheesecake, jelly
bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.

Chorus:
Tell me where you're stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Tell me where you're stormy
Carry him to his bury'n ground
We'll dig his grave with a silver spade
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
His shroud of the finest silk will be made
Carry him to his bury'n ground
Chorus
We'll lower him down on a golden chain
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
On every inch we'll carve his name
Carry him to his bury'n ground
Chorus
General Taylor he's all the go
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
He's gone where the stormy winds won't blow
Carry him to his bury'n ground
Chorus
General Taylor he's dead and he's gone
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
Well General Taylor he's long dead and gone
Carry him to his bury'n ground
Chorus x 2
She moved in with her cousin
Found a job down in the mall
Her friends at home were jealous
Said "We'll see you in the fall."
Chorus:
But, you know that she wants to try, never let's you see her cry
You know that she wants to try, she's got seagulls in her eyes
The people here seem really nice
But the winter's way too long
Her new friends don't understand
They just tell her to be strong
She made some decent money
Yeah, but nothing comes for free
The busy streets, just don't compete
With the sky, the rocks and sea
Chorus
Her parents came at Eastertime
They wanted her to stay
But she went and got a panel van
And moved home on her birthday
The girls in town all said
She couldn't make it on her own
Now the sky's a little smaller
And it doesn't seem like home
Chorus (2x)
She's got seagulls in her eyes
They crossed the broad Atlantic in the brave Florizel,
And on the sands of Suvla, they entered into hell
And on those bloody beaches, the first of them fell...
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me
Chorus:
And it's over the mountains, and over the sea
Come brave Newfoundlanders, and join the Blue Puttees
You'll fight the hun in Flanders, and at Galipoli
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me
The call came from London, for the last July drive
To the trenches with the regiment, prepare yourselves to die
The roll call next morning, just a handful survived.
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me
Chorus
The stone men on Water Street still cry for the day
When the pride of the city went marching away
A thousand men slaughtered, to hear the King say
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me
Chorus x 2
Here he comes as white as ghosts
Children in their little boats
Women in their petticoats
Down from Petty Harbour
Chorus:
You didn't see, that I was sorry
This has to be, my apology
When cruelty comes with blind indifference
My humanity becomes the best defense
But if you consider the alternative
I really didn't have that much to give
Chorus
A tragic victim of my circumstance
Never give the devil a second chance
If you do you know that you can never win
Probably best to forget and begin again
Chorus
My apology, my apology...
Chorus:
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten Drink 'er up boys its well after
ten
Some people say that the pinky is fine
Others will swear by a drop of moonshine
But as for myself I'm a bottle of each,
mixed in with a gallon of dipper or screech
Chorus
Its the old shavin' lotion that's made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And when in the evening when we're feeling fine
We'll stop into Jakey's for icon and shine
Chorus
Its the old shavin' lotion that's made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And when in the morning when I'm feeling rough
I curse, ol' Jakey who sold me this stuff
Chorus x 2
Take it two four out the door!
I thought we went through all this yesterday
You said you were OK, you just had to take it slow
Well I'm tired of these little games you play, are you here to stay?
Is there something I should know?
Chorus:
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should know? (Is there something?)
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should know? (Is there something?)
I think about everything we've seen, was it just a dream
How did we get so low?
To leave it all behind would be obscene
Where's your self-esteem? Is there something I should know?
Chorus
Keep on talking, you know I've got all night
But don't keep telling me, that everything's all right...
I'm not all right. I'm not all right.
I'm leaving you tomorrow, I can see
This is how it's got to be,
In the morning I must go...
So let's take a little time, say what's on your mind
Is there something I should know?
Chorus
Chorus:
Come along, come along, You jolly brave boys,
There's lots of grog in the jar.
We'll plough the briny ocean
With the jolly roving tar.
When Jack comes in, it's then he'll steer
To some old boarding house.
They'll welcome him with rum and gin,
And feed him on pork scouse.
He'll lend, spend and he'll not offend
Till he's lyin' drunk on the ground
When the money's gone
It's the same old song,
"Get up Jack! John, sit down!"
Chorus
Jack, he then, oh then he'll sail
Bound down for Newfoundland
All the ladies fair in Placentia there
They love that sailor man.
He'll go to shore out on a tear
And he'll buy some girl a gown.
When the money's gone
It's the same old song,
"Get up Jack! John, sit down!"
Chorus
When Jack gets old and weatherbeat,
Too old to roam about,
They'll let him stop in some rum shop
Till eight bells calls him out.
Then he'll raise his eyes up to the skies,
Sayin' "Boys, we're homeward bound."
When the money's gone
It's the same old song,
"Get up Jack! John, sit down!"
Chorus (2x)
