The Company I Keep

My Mama told me, your life is such a wreck. Your dumber than dog shit is what my Daddy said. I was just thirteen when they showed me the door. I keep their picture but don't look at it no more.

The Boys From Alabama

Well, they caught you smoking grass and the judge threw the book. I can see a little opportunism in your look. You can take it from me, boy. You can take it from a crook.

Than Man I Shot

That man I shot,. He was trying to kill me. He was trying to kill me. He was trying to kill me. That man I shot I didn't know him. I was just doing my job, maybe so was he.

That Man I Shot

That man I shot,. He was trying to kill me. He was trying to kill me. He was trying to kill me. That man I shot I didn't know him. I was just doing my job, maybe so was he.

Tails Facing Up

Me and my brother's old lady went out and got stinking,. She solved her curiosities about me by the railroad tracks.. She said I reminded her of him before he started drinking.

The Clearing [single Version]

Tremendous Brunettes

All them tremendous brunettes around.. . Slow down, don't fuck with my high. I want to be left alone here with my monsters, and. Say, now it's time to ride.

Thank You, Lord, For Sending Me The F Train

Yeah. . The dark is dropping like a spot. Of black ink squeezed into a glass of water. And now the crowds are thinning out. Into the light down in the subway station.

The Secret Language Of Birds

This sparkling wine is all but empty.. Too late for trains and no taxis.. I know the feeling. Seems all too contrived.. There was no master plan but the fact is:.

The Weight

I pulled in to Nazareth was feelin' 'bout a half past dead. I just need some place where I can lay my head. Hey mister, can you tell me where a girl might find a bed.

The Devil-tips

If I could always be eighteen. You could always be eight. We'd draw monsters on your wall. I'd keep you up too late. . Cause getting served in pubs. It's all it's cracked up to be.

Turbulence

You always jump and quiver. When you're coming in to land. With no runway, no guidance. No nails dug into my hand. . We could ask whoever we want. We could go back to school.

The Shy Retirer

Toy Flights

Bored at home, nothing to do but eat.. I'll give you a phone and you can come along the street.. You/I'll bring the junk food, I'll/you (can) hire the tape..

Trippy

How am I supposed to walk you home. When you're at least fifty feet ahead?. 'Cause you walked off in a huff. And I'm that pissed, I can't remember what it was I said.

The Long Sea

You've always thought the first time was that night on the boat. Cramped up in the bottom bunk while she slept above. I suppose it's more glamorous out at sea under the moon.

The Night Before The Funeral

The night before the funeral, I got some. I sneaked a young girl up the stairs and past my mum. I took her clothes off and I played with her bits. And she did the same but it took ages for me to come.

The First Time You're Unfaithful

The first time you're unfaithful. Won't be the worst time you're unfaithful. It will probably just be a kiss. With a stranger when you're on the piss.

The First Big Weekend

So that was the first big weekend of the summer... Starts Thursday as usual with a canteen quiz and again no-one wins the big cash prize. Later I do my sound bloke routine by approaching Gina's new boyfriend to say that he shouldn't feel that there's any animosity between us and then I even go and make peace with her. I shouldn't have bothered. Then on Friday night we went through to the Arches....
