Big League - Tom Cochrane

For the love of God, someone get this girl to shut up Or else I'm leaving, I swear I'm leaving Oh don't you want me to stay Like a summer dress on a wire hanger I can not get off when you're always trying to talk I lose the feeling, I'm lost Oh, I know you'll beg me to change Like a storm curls across the bay Eat the kids in love (I know you're tired, but I think we need to figure this out)

Something dark, something dense Rushed its way in, into our home Into our home, our home These are good people, these are good When the youngest flat on her back Fascinated by the infinite, finally goes Finally goes, go Thought of you when we took all her things, off of the shelves Neat into piles to take away, out into cars, out of the house And how the floodlights came and went, how the floodlights came and went As we went in, as we went out How we come in, how we come out How we are with, how we're without How we both loved, how we don't now How we come in, how we come out

When he was a kid, he'd be up at five Take shots till eight and make the thing drive Out after school and back on ice That was his life, he was gonna play in the Big League Oh, the Big League Not many ways out of this cold northern town You work in the mill and get laid in the ground If you're gonna jump it will be with the game Real fast and tough is the only clear lane To the Big League Ah, my boy's gonna play in the Big League My boy's gonna turn some heads My boy's gonna play in the Big League My boy's gonna knock 'em dead Ah, the Big League All the right moves when he turned eighteen Scholarship and school on a big U.S. team Out with his girl near Lake McClean Hit a truck doing seventy in the wrong lane To the Big League Ah, my boy's gonna play in the Big League My boy's gonna turn some heads My boy's gonna play in the Big League My boy's gonna knock 'em dead Ah, never can tell what might come down Never can tell how much you got Just don't know, no, you never can tell Sometimes at night, I can hear the ice crack It sounds like thunder and it rips through my back Sometimes in the morning I still hear the sound Ice meets metal Can't you drive me down to the Big League? Ah, my boy's gonna play in the Big League My boy's gonna turn some heads My boy's gonna play in the Big League My boy's gonna knock 'em dead Ah, never can tell what might come down Never can tell when you might check out Just don't know, no you never can tell So do right to others like you do to yourself In the Big League Ah, the Big League Ah, the Big League

I've got a reason And it sounds like this Everything has it's season Well let's bless it with a kiss babe I'll be there for you I'll be your rainy day man Everytime the devil laughs out loud When we make our big plans And you might come to realize What you haven't missed yet When everyone's searching for fortune and fame It's been right in front of you all of the time Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down Just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain I heard a rumbling It was a frightening sound We thought the world was crumbling It was just our wheels spinning round You might see more action Born in another age You'll get more satisfaction If you don't expect it that way You might come to realize What you haven't missed yet When everyone's searching for fortune and fame Well it's been right in your face all of the time Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down Just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down Just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain I look down the street And I see the young Matadors The debutantes from Richmond Decked out in their fine clothes It's bred in the bone A tireless search The junkyard keeps whispering "Who'll get there first" Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down You just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down But just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain The next time that it looks like rain The next time that it looks like rain, again Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down Just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down But just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain The next time that it looks like rain The next time that it looks like rain

Lunatic Fringe I know you're out there You're in hiding And you hold your meetings I can hear you comin' I know what your after We're wise to you this time We won't let you kill the laughter Uh huh Uh huh Uh huh Lunatic fringe In the twilight's last gleaming This is open season But you won't get too far Cause you gotta blame someone For your own confusion We're on guard this time Against your final solution Oh no Uh huh Uh huh Uh huh We can hear you comin' No, you're not gonna win this time (Not gonna win) We can hear the footsteps Way out along the walkway (Out along the walkway) Lunatic fringe We all know you're out there Can you feel the resistance Can you feel the thunder

Moving out, can you see that shine Feel the change as you roll on down the line Where the shore fires burn out on a new frontier Where the past don't haunt you and there's Nothing else to fear Baby don't you hold out too long They might not let you be (CHORUS) Movin' out feel the wind in your hair Where the sun shines at night, I can take you there To the land of the midnight sun, Ragged Ass Road I carried you, you carried me Nothin' we can't hold, nothing we can't be They've taken everything and what have they put back I really don't give a damn 'cause there's nothin here that we lack Baby don't you hold out too long They might not set you free (CHORUS) They might not want to let you see They can't hold on, as your soul might not let you be, Stand back while it burns For the midnight sun Ragged Ass Road All the time, again and again Standin' out where you might see them shine Oh did you find the midnight sun Down on Ragged Ass Road Are you out there everybody out there with me Shout it out, shout it out there, one more time To the land of the midnight sun Ragged Ass Road She's a dandy, yeah you bet There's some things that you haven't seen yet In the land of the midnight sun Ragged Ass Road
