Line up – on time – stand beside, work with me Time’s up – online - looking out for ways to see (Got to) Pose now – on point – falling like a wilted leaf Hold on – don’t point – hold it like a piece of grief I just want to go away Take time on the road ahead I just want to go away Ever since I put one in my head 40 kittens so far away I don’t know what you said Looking out for the only stray Ever since I lost one in my head I will let you go (3x) I won’t wash black off dirty crows I just left a place to stay Took off time inside my head I don’t have a place to stay Ever since it hit me on the head I will let you go (3x) I would trade an arm’s length for a toe I will let you go (3x) I won’t wash black off dirty crows Devil speaking with unwilling English tongues Angel flying over you in your dreams Hammer useless without a nail to hit real hard Time to goooo… It’s so far away Can we start towards the end? If I had to stay Would I stop seeing your face? I will let you go Nail on the run (8x)

Been bonne bing You can’t sing While smoking a menthol cigarette Bing bam bim Your future’s dim If you sit down and then forget My momma said softly, “Listen to me, please.” Don’t go messing with girls from Vawn They’re rotten to the core (Rotten to the core) Don’t go messing with girls from Vawn They’ll break your heart before (Faster than…) You would even see Her final worlds to me Bing bing bam Here I am Married to a girl from the city Vawn Boom bing bom There lies mom Dying, dying, and then she’s gone Before she went away She had to say, oh Don’t go messing with girls from Vawn The last words of my mom (We heard those last words) Don’t date girls that make you yawn But I know where she’s from (Mm-hm) Don’t go messing with girls from Vawn The last words from mom (We heard those words) Don’t go messing with girls from Vawn And then she was gone (Going, going, gone) The last words that she spoke Must’ve been a joke

A party wasn’t had by all Some of us left feeling worse She waited till there was no one Left in the room Besides that man No wonder the time dragged all eve Some of us left before you I smoked on the porch with no one It’s so quiet Outside that man He looks happy He looks at ease He looks at me and can see me cry While down on knees I’m beggin’ you please He can’t read my lips through the smoke I’m asking him, “leave her to me”. You waited till there was no one Left in the room Besides my girl (solo) She looks happy She looks at ease She looks at me and can see me cry While down on knees I’m beggin’ her please (2x) Leave him for me

They read your will to a room full of 2 No other souls in your life You got sick and I stayed there with you I promised you the end All these tears doesn’t mean that I’m blue All that time was well spent You had everything that I wanna Who gets everything when you’re gonna?

Pull me back cause I jumped the gun Sow my name on your sleeve and wear it once Have a laugh when it’s time to yell I don’t care who cracked the liberty bell We’ve all done things we’re ashamed to say I wet the bed last Saturday But does that mean I deserve to die? I’ll hit the ground if I try to fly Don’t mention my crimes, or how many times Don’t tell them all that I did And don’t tell them my past, I know I won’t last I’m the brand new Billy the kid Oh, won’t someone speak for the helpless and weak I’m out to be rid The court was ice cold (repeat)

(Screams of joy) Another bee in the hive I’m not sure it wants to survive A shit bee without a comb It can’t wait to have a home Another bee in the nest It’s so hard to get some rest Always trapped and alone It can’t wait to go back home It can’t wait to go back home (repeat)

about

On a very foggy day in March, two men set off to Guelph, Ontario for an art exhibit. They had good coffee and glutton-free snacks. Afterwards, they thoroughly checked out the vinyl selection at an antiques shop. It was a good day.
