I know you’ve heard it all before But i’m sorry for this three year war For the setting up of camps And wire and trenches I’m sorry for the other night I know sorry it don’t make it right I’m sorry for things i can’t even mention I’m sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry I’m sitting feeling […]
Take a litle walk to the edge of town Go across the tracks Where the viaduct looms, Like a bird of doom As it shifts and cracks Where secrets lie in the border fires, In the humming wires Hey man, you know You’re never coming back Past the square, past the bridge, Past the mills, […]

Onward! and onward! and onward i go Where no man before could be bothered to go Till the soles of my shoes are shot full of holes And it’s all downhill with a bullet This ramblin’ and rovin’ has taken it’s course I’m grazing with the dinosaurs and the dear old horses And the city […]
I found her on a night of fire and noise Wild bells rang in a wild sky I knew from that moment on I’ll love her till the day that i died And i kissed away a thousand tears My lady of the various sorrows Some begged, some borowed, some stolen Some kept safe for […]
