Two great European narcotics, Alcohol and Christianity, I know which one I prefer We never went to church, Just get on with work and sometimes things'll hurt, But it's hit me since you left us, And it's so hard not to search. If you were still about, I'd ask you what I'm supposed to do now, I just get a bit scared, Every now, Hope I made you proud. On your birthday when mom passed the forks and spoons, I put my head on the table I was so distraught with you, You tidied your things into the bin, The more poorly you grew, So there's nothing of yours to hold or to talk to. Put your hand up and interrupt the conversation with a, but. People say I interrupt people with the same look. Sometimes I think so hard I can't remember how your face looked, Started reading about dreams in your favourite book. Panic and pace when I can't see the right thing to do. You'd be scratching your head through the best advice you knew. And I feel sad I can't hear you reciting it through, I miss you dad but I've got nothing to remind me of you I needed a break when your book about dreams was taken, I needed to pray or see a priest that day, I needed to leave this trade and just heave it away. But I cleaned up my place like you so I could see things straight. I never cared about God when life was sailin' in the calm, So I said I'd get my head down and I'd deal with the ache in my heart, And for that if God exists I'd reckon he'd pay me regard, Mom says me and you are the same from the start. I guess than you did leave me something to remind me of you, Everytime I interrupt someone like you used to, When I do something like you you'll be on my mind or through, 'Cause I forgot you left me behind to remind me of you. But you you still tell me how you didn't know what to do even now, And then I'm not so scared somehow, 'Cause I know that you'd be proud. I got a good one for you dad, I'm gonna see a priest, a Rabbi and a Protestant clergyman, You always said I should hedge my bets.

Singer: Little Big Town We went to the beach Every year, the middle of June We crammed into that Astro van Tighter than a can of sardines And we went to the beach We fought in the back And dad got mad And mama rolled the windows down Y'all smell the salt of the beach Well, it was double beds With a kitchenette Bedspreads of sea-foam green It was sunburns and taking turns On boogie boards we'd bring Even if we spent Every single cent To stay across the street We went to the beach We mowed a few yards I filled a coffee can With some Benjamins Just a couple of friends Just barely seventeen And we went to the beach And in the middle of March We put real life starts And partied so hard We could barely remember a thing It was PBRs and tiki bars Don't take my fake I.D It was cigarettes Girls we just met And making out on lifeguard seats And those polaroids Of me and the boys Is all the proof I need And we went to the beach Girl, don't you hate to leave It's been one hell of a week It was a vow To you too, "I do." Babe, can you believe It was brand new tans Brown-golden bands Of sand all in the sheets If I know you and me We only get one of these And we went to the beach We went to the beach We went to the beach We went to the beach

Alexander Ghenkis Khan Wellington Napoleon Paul Revere, Dick Turpin and many a highwayman Raiders, crusaders, cavalry and Red Indians They all used horses for whatever was there plan Against the Zulus and the Moors, Brits, Franken's and the Boers Used horses for fighting on many a foreign shore For their fightin needs had to have a horse between their knees That's when the horse went off to war Off to war off to war that's how the horse went off to war Off to war off to war that's how the horse went off to war Then the world was doin' fine no ponies workin' in the mine They were in the circus and the rodeo Put them in their boxes for shows and huntin' foxes Pig-sticking racing and a game they called polo And they used them ponies for royal ceremonies Pullin carts and ploughing that's what they used ' em for "Cause they realized war machines are mechanized That's when the horse came back from war Back from war back from war that's how the horse came back from war Back from war back from war that's how the horse came back from war With voluntary amnesia the world forgot Rhodesia When the terrorists came in they were another kind of foe Huntin' them in vain in difficult terrain Trackin' them on foot was cumbersome and slow Got back in the saddle and then went into battle They went off to settle up the score Mounted soldiers dressed in cammo with rifles full of ammo That's when the horse went back to war Back to war back to war that's when the horse went back to war Back to war back to war that's when the horse went back to war Back to war back to war that's when the horse went back to war Back to war back to war that's when the horse went back to war

(Jimmy Buffett) He went to Paris lookin' for answers To questions that bothered him so He was impressive young and agressive Savin' the world on his own. Warm summer breezes French wine and cheeses Put his ambition at bay The summers and winters scattered like splinters And four or five years slipped away. He went to England played the piano And married an actress named Kim They had a good life she was a good wife And bore him a young son named Jim. All of the answers and all of the questions He locked in his attic one day 'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin' And twenty more years slipped away. --- Instrumental --- War took his baby bombs killed his lady And left him with only one eye His body was battered his whole world was shattered All he could do was just cry. While the tears were fallin' he was recallin' Answers that he never found So he hopped in a freighter skidded the ocean And left England without a sound. Now he lives in the island fishes the pilin' And drinks his green label each day Writin' his memoirs losin' his hearin' But he don't care what most people say. After eighty-six years of perpetual motion If he likes you he'll smile and say Well, some of it's magic probably tragic But I had a good life all the way. He went to Paris lookin' for answers To questions that bothered him so...

Let's turn it up loud, mix it up strong Lean it back slow, get your feel good on Cut 'em off short, roll it up tight Let it unwind tonight Drop down the top down on the Pontiac Wherever you wind up is where the party's at Break out the bottle of Bacardi black And don't look back 'cause Here's to the good times, here's to the sunshine Here's to the ice you float your beer in To the tops you pop and the tan lines disappearin' Oh my, my She's a little bit tipsy Leans in for a kiss, she's stealin' your heart just like a gypsy And there you are just a drunken star, just fallin' in her eyes Here's to the good times, while there's still time Well, lay it all out, spray it on sweet Carve it in oak and permanent ink Park it way back, fog it on up Singin' oh-oh, oh-oh Radio spillin' from a single cab She looks so good with her silver tabs Hangin' on a branch by the river That's a memory that'll get you when you look back Here's to the good times, here's to the sunshine Here's to the ice you float your beer in To the tops you pop and the tan lines disappearin' Oh my, my She's a little bit tipsy Leans in for a kiss, she's stealin' your heart just like a gypsy And there you are just a drunken star, just fallin' in her eyes Here's to the good times, while there's still time Drop down the top down on the Pontiac Wherever you wind up is where the party's at Break out the bottle of Bacardi black And don't look back 'cause Here's to the good times, here's to the sunshine Here's to the ice you float your beer in To the tops you pop and the tan lines disappearin', oh my, my She's a little bit tipsy Leans in for a kiss, she's stealin' your heart just like a gypsy And there you are just a drunken star, just fallin' in her eyes Here's to the good times Well here's to the good times and the moonshine And the blue eyes under the moonlight Here's to the good times Here's to the good times buzzin' on moon wine Loving you all night under the moonlight Here's to the good times while there's still time

November promises it seems, Of broken February dreams That don't come true Until you remember me I don't remember you. Were you the one who liked to sing? Or just some other one. It's strange how hate remains and stays The same and we're always changing. We are driving on the ceiling There are aliens on motorcycles Riding in the radio While we destroy the world; I said, "oh oh - oh no no" The news is read, the future's dead, When Elvis went to Hollywood That's when everything went wrong. So long goodbye, It tastes of wedding cakes And the sound of nursey rhymes The ghosts of Roderick, Of Alex Chilten, of Victor Frankenstein The girl you always loved The one you have no memory of It's strange how hate remains To paper over the invasion We are driving on the ceiling There are aliens on motorcycles Hiding in the radio, While we devour the world I said - oh oh, oh no no The future said, the news is dead When Elvis went to Hollywood That's when everything went wrong. The god of Maine proclaims The last evacuation of a dream The gospel screams the sock of movie stars And girly magazines Spacemen too, from somewhere far away You have to say it's strange we prayed in vain, The rockets came and now we're fading. We are hiding on the ceiling There are aliens on motorcycles Riding from the radio, while they destroy the world. I said - oh oh, oh no no The paper said, the King is dead When Elvis went to Hollywood, That's when everything went wrong.

I still remember the piano Playing the same old melodies The late-night crowd Was wild and loud But then a shot Outside the bar-room. And then I saw you for the first time The way you stepped out of the dark Up to the bar Said: Here we are Whiskey for me, For you Tequila The devil send you to Lorado Because he knew that I was there A man with such a face In such a lonesome place Can only be a desperado The devil send you to Lorado Because he knew that I was there And when I heard you'd stay I felt right away Youd shake my life Like a tornado I still remember the piano Playing a different melody You won at cards You won at darts Left all the men without a dollar And now you gotta leave Lorado They want you out of here by noon Oh, I can tell Im in a spell So here we go to Amarillo.
