Betrayal Pt. 1
The betrayal
It hurts me still
Though it’s been awhile
It’ll hurt until
I find love again
The betrayal
It stings you hard
When those you trust
Break your heart
Those that you once loved
Those you once thought highly of
My little girl
There is still time
Protect your sweet heart
From the pain in mine
Please try not to get too attached
Though you will fail please try not to get too attached
These trees like old men
So wise and stiff
Not even their serenity
Comforts me through this
Cause in the end age it means shit
In the end age it means shit
We’ve all been stung by
Love’s poison kiss
It sucks you sweetly
Before the pain kicks in
The hurt, the betrayal, the end
The hurt, the betrayal, the end
The hurt, the betrayal, the end
The betrayal
It hurts me still
I miss you girl
But I know I will
Find love again
Tentacles
If not for the language barrier
I might marry her
I might marry her
If not for the geographical obstacles
I might marry her
I might marry her
If not for the language barrier
I might marry her
I might marry her
If not for the geographical obstacles
I might marry her
I might marry her
Although she has tentacles
I’m in love with tentacles
There are trolls everywhere
There are trolls in my hair
There are trolls everywhere
That I look there are trolls to spare
There are trolls everywhere
There are trolls in my hair
There are trolls everywhere
That I look there are trolls to spare
And one offered my free tango lessons
And without even thinking I gladly said yes
And though at first I thought that I may regret that decision
I never did in fact it was the best
Because the instructor was very beautiful
She had unparalleled beauty though she was a troll
She had charm and she had wit and she could dance like only a troll could
So we danced all night long
If not for the language barrier
I might marry her
I might marry her
If not for the geographical obstacles
I might marry her
I might marry her
If not for the language barrier
I might marry her
I might marry her
If not for the geographical obstacles
I might marry her
I might marry her
Although she has tentacles
I’m in love with tentacles
I’m in love with tentacles
All I want is tentacles
The Innocent One
I still hark back
To when I was younger
When this city was
Still undiscovered
Wascana Lake was
An ocean
I had many friends
In the waters
Where they are now
I often wonder
Love and pain and love
Have coarsed my skin
Oh now I’ve felt the pain
Seen the horror
On the television
In my own home
I’m not the innocent one that I once was
I’m not the ignorant one that I once was
In this modern world
Where we’re living
This global village
Nobody is safe in
Nobody cares about
The art you have spun
Crooked politicians
Like Dave Batters
Telling us there’s only one thing that matters
Between the economy and the environment
We can choose just one
Now I get this feeling
Can’t explain it
In my stomach
Not quite pain yet
I recognize that
Familiar sorrow
I’m not the innocent one that I once was
I’m not the ignorant one that I once was
You don’t help me one bit
you don’t help me one bit
You don’t help me one bit with the pain
you don’t help me one bit with the pain
That I feel for you my friend...
My Guarantee
In the mountains for a weekend
And missing you every minute
At first the summer came
And, and then you went
At the apex of humanity
I know you’re missing me
Please don’t be
I have been missing you more
That’s for sure
It’s my guarantee
Had an out-of-body experience
and I haven’t been the same since
It made me so delirious
And lost me all of my friends
At the apex of humanity
I know you’re missing me
Please don’t be
I have been missing you more
That’s for sure
It’s my guarantee
I have been missing you more
That’s for sure
It’s my guarantee
Duet for Emmylou and the Grievous Angel
I don’t miss you now but I will when you’re gone
And this is the reason I keep holding on
Because you are lovely and because you are old
And these are the most desirable traits to be found in a woman I am told
It is fashionable
To be single
In big cities
But not in small towns
In Regina
Saskatchewan
I fell in love
With her frown
I won’t miss you now but I will once we’re done
Sometimes I strain myself trying to recall the last time we had fun
‘Cause you’re soft as smoke and you got no fear
And these are the most desirable traits to be found in a man I hear
It is fashionable
To be single
In big cities
But not in small towns
In Regina
Saskatchewan
I fell in love
With her frown
I won’t kiss you now but I will once you’re gone
I won’t miss you now I won’t miss you at all
I won’t kiss you now too afraid that you’ll cry
I won’t miss you now and I won’t give a shit if you die
Fuck NAFTA
Old world politics rule us now
It’s better than gold in the eyes of God
Fuck NAFTA and fuck DOW
Fuck all you stockbrokers in the crowd
I’m so sick of your management
I’m so sick of all of this
I’m so sick of your management
I’m so sick of your bullshit
Rembrandt painted my bedroom
This morning when the light shone through
Enlightenment is this it?
Is this it enlightenment?
I’m so sick of your management
I’m so sick of all of this
I’m so sick of your management
I’m so sick of your bullshit
I’ve Got Faith
So my hair’s a lampshade for all my bright ideas
I have got knowledge in me I just can’t get it out
If I shaved my head I would become a genius
“So why don’t you shave your head?” “Too afraid that I’ll look like a penis”
I’ve got faith you will fuck this up for me!
I’ve got faith you will find a way to...
We have all been caught on candid camera before
And frankly it’s starting to bore me frankly you’re quite a bore
I have nothing against you, only against your contemporaries
Why is it every time I find love it’s too late or she lives somewhere else?
I’ve got faith you will fuck this up for me!
I’ve got faith you will find a way to...
Why is it every time I find love it’s too late or she lives somewhere else?
I’ve got faith you will fuck this up for me!
I’ve got faith you will find a way to...
Winter Sun
When the winter sun sets behind your eyelids
I resort to violence I hang myself in silence
Every time you come I run out of things to say
Every time your hear I run out of things to hear
I said “Father why can’t I hold your hand?”
He said “When you’re forty you will understand”
Cause a man’s a man and a child’s a child
Throw away your Bible and perfect that smile
When the winter sun sets behind your eyelids
I resort to violence I hang myself in silence
Every time you come I run out of things to say
Every time your hear I run out of things to hear
Castles
When the evening falls
All around the pretty little houses
There’s no-one left walking in the street
When the night-time come
And all the water’s frozen in our
Maze of moats defending all of our castles
That’s when I will meet my demise
That’s when I will finally look into your eyes
Many years ago
Somebody else stood right
Where I’m standing now
Somebody drank the water that I drink
And now that it’s a new millennium
I just want to stop myself and think
And that’s when I will meet my demise
That’s when I will finally look into your eyes
You are so something to me...
Betrayal pt. 2
I am the loneliest I have been
Since I first kissed you way back then
you were so gorgeous
I was so thin
Like an angel you swooped down from above
Your tongue it tasted like love
But your heart
It tasted like tin
My head it aches my knees they bend
The tears heat the back of my eyelids
I am the loneliest that I have ever been
And I swear that I once loved a girl
More than any hockey team in the world
But she left for that asshole I forget his name
But I’m getting tired of this game
you say you love me but as soon as I turn away
You’re reaching down my throat grabbing at my heart
And you rip it apart
Now you come back to me with tears in your eyes
Those tears I used to drink after I had lied
“Marshall I love you, Marshall it was wrong
To hurt you the way I did please sing me a song”
But I would not know what to sing
I just would not know where to begin
How do you explain a pain that never ends?
She will never understand these things
Well, if there is something special...
Between us should we give it a shot
You know it might be love although it’s probably not
Quite frankly I really don’t give a fuck
Honey you’re just wasting your time
You’ve got a lot on your mind
So don’t worry about my fickle heart
Don’t worry about my fickle heart
Don’t worry about my fickle heart
I am the loneliest I have been
Since I first kissed you way back then
I’ve not forgotten the way
you held my hand
But I will get better in the end
And I know my broken heart will mend
And I’ll find myself another
Girlfriend
Our Hearts Don’t Match Up
Let’s go to the Eiffel Tower for an hour
I’ve got a poster and it looks real nice from space
Not as nice as your face
Not as nice as a hurricane
But our hearts don’t match up
No our hearts don’t match up
Because our hearts don’t match up
No our hearts don’t match up
Through sunshine and through sunset
I am still a pacifist
And I have said that I’m done with this
Being herded like a sheep by society
But never really being heard
Plus our hearts don’t match up
No our hearts don’t match up
Because our hearts don’t match up
No our hearts don’t match up
LIfe is precious no we’ve lost it
So we learn at a funeral there’s the coffin
And all these people they are crying I want to help them
But I don’t have the courage so I’m sorry man
But our hearts don’t match up
No our hearts don’t match up
Because our hearts don’t match up
No our hearts don’t match up
Cuba/Peru
Like the coupon you don’t use until the day that it’s expired
Like the trip around the world you won’t take 'til your retired
I’m always waiting on you
And if there’s one piece of advice that I will always know to be true
If I was Cuba you would be Peru
Like the time you’re always spending with the wrong people
Like the time I just lost when I walked backwards
I ask myself “How much time have I wasted with you?”
And if there’s one piece of advice that I will always know to be true
If I was Cuba you would be Peru
Like the dog that’s always barking in the yard for another bone
Like the girl who keeps calling me every night
I ask myself “Why is she being such a bitch tonight?”
And if there’s one piece of advice that I will always know to be true
If I was Cuba you would be Peru
If I was Cuba you would be Peru
