Every Dog's Day

Every Dog's Day
I thought that I was moving
That I'd finally got the boot in
No more wallowing in self doubt
I had finally found a way out
I was wrong
Falling out of favour
After all things I gave her
All our promises are broken
If you build your world upon 'em
You'd be wrong
Well here I am Oh Lord
When will I have my say
Every dog must have it's day
Please oh lord
I swear that I will change my tune
Hear me now, I'm begging you
Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh
To err is only human
From the first breath in we're losin'
Anybody tells you different
You just know it's wishful thinking
And they'd be wrong
But after all that's what we are
I'm surprised we've even got this far
Bipedal but by golly
Aren't we fond of all this folly
And we're wrong, so wrong
Yes we're wrong,
So wrong ,wrong, wrong, wrong
Well here I am Oh Lord
When will I have my say
Every dog must have it's day
Please oh lord
I swear that I will change my tune
Hear me now, it's coming soon
Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh

My Love Feels Real

My Love Feels Real
My love feels real, feels real good
My love feels real, feels real good
You find some love don't question it
Don’t put on the brakes just roll with it
You find someone who loves you too
Wheels on the track no stopping you
You’ve got some time don’t waste it now
Don’t sit on the porch don’t tell me how
Love is like a Moving train
Gotta get on board or lose again
My love feels real, feels real good
My love feels real, feels real good
A lonely bird unlike the rest
Too scared of heights won’t/to leave the nest
There’s little else that you can do
Than take the road ahead of you
When in doubt, don’t poor Richard touts
Don’t fan the flame but stomp it out
And don’t stop stomping get underway
The rails you ride are yours to lay
When the door swings wide well, come on through
Step inside you’ll find me too
Whoever thought we’d end up here?
But one and one makes half the fear
My love, my love, my love, my love
My love feels real, feels real good

She Sang Songs

She Sang Song
She gave love a melody, melody
She captured the mystery, mystery
She lifted me up again, up again
After the travellin', travellin
She made pain a memory, memory
Gave me the remedy, remedy
And I needed to feel it
Needed someone to care
She's a voice in the darkness
Just calling me there
She sang songs of a different time
Pictured faces long left behind
She used words i could never find
And in spilling her heart she filled up mine
She gifted my reverie, reverie
Far from the drudgery, drudgery
Laid bare my history, history
Oh my persephone, sing to me
And I needed to hear it
Feel it echo within
As her voice rose inside me
Our two spirits akin
She sang songs of a different time
Pictured faces long left behind
She used words i could never find
And in spilling her heart she filled up mine

Donna Lola
Born in Sligo, I wasn’t long for Grange
In Germany they said I was from Spain
In London I was Indian
Then I changed my name again
Thus the world beheld Donna Lola
You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola
You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola
If you don't know Lola Montez
That just means that I ain't done yet
You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola
No one on this earth would ever dare
To say I put on graces and airs
If you doubt my constitution
Watch me start a revolution
Then you'll never forget Donna Lola
As a muse I am a splendid thing
I've known composers, writers and a king
My Spanish beauty is unspoiled
And well preserved in inks and oils
You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola
I can hypnotize you with my Spider Dance
It left Australian miners in a trance
There's no stage with a better show
And I'll whip the man that says that it ain't so
Then he’ll never forget Donna Lola
There’s nothing in this world I’ve never seen
There’s nothing in this world I’ve never been
I've sailed the seas and evangelized
Of a woman's fight and of men who lie
You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola

Meet Me in the Middle
02:58
|
|||
I think it's time we talked some sense
I don't know 'bout you but I could really use the rest
And everybody's tired, wond’ring what to do
I think everybody's owed a modicum of truth
So if there's nothing left to lose
Just come out and say it
It may be our last chance
To clean the air between us
It's probably now or never
Change is for the better
So meet me in the middle
And face this thing together
It's bad enough we've lost all this time
It only makes it harder further down the line
We'll only make it worse if we don't try to lift this curse
So let be the one to hold my hand out first
So if there's nothing left to prove
Just come out and say it
It may be our last chance
To heal the air between us
A baring of the bones
Breaking sticks and stones
So meet me in the middle
Catch the line I've thrown
So meet me in the middle
You don't have to be alone
You don't have to be alone

River of Gold

River of Gold
There’s a river of gold
In a story that’s told
Flowing to take you away
But the river of old
Only favoured the bold
In the land of the blue agave
On the river of gold
You can lighten your load
Live out the rest of your days
But the river of old
Hides a sorrow I’m told
Las lágrimas de tus padres
There’s a river of gold
It’s no place for the old
The wise ones have long slipped away
‘Cos the river of old
Puts a weight on your soul
It’s a high price that no one should pay
On the river of gold
Where the nights can be cold
Far from the walls of Trujillo
Oh the river of old
Took you far from your home
Lejos de aqui hijo mío
There’s a river of gold
In a story I’m told
The song of the Conquistadores
On the river of gold
They never grow old
In the land of the blue agave

Carolina in My Mind

Carolina in my Mind
In my mind I've gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind?
And I'm going to Carolina in my mind
Karen, she's a silver sun, you'd best walk away and watch it shining
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying ain't I?
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
There ain't no doubt in no one's mind that loves the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey baby, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I
I'm going to Carolina in my mind
In my mind I've gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind?
And I'm going to Carolina in my mind
Dark and silent late last night I think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
The signs that it might be omens say I'm going, going
I've gone to Carolina in my mind
With a holy host of others standing around me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
Seems like it goes on like this forever, you must forgive me
Forgive me, and If I'm up and...
In my mind I've gone to Carolina in my mind
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind?
And I'm going to Carolina in my mind

Less than Equal

Less than Equal
There was a time
I thought I had it all figured out
A simpler time,
Oh of that there is no doubt
But things get broken
Like hearts left wide open
What is a thought if unspoken?
You know I don't wanna feel less than equal
I thought I made it clear or I just don't know people
You reach a point in life when it's all you're fighting for
But it's harder now, harder now, oh than before
What is it now?
They say you gotta do to make it work, make it work
When tolerance
Is a two-way path through the dirt
But things get broken
And lives are woken
What is a word if unspoken?
You know I don't wanna feel less than equal
I thought I made it clear or I just don't know people
You reach a point in life when it's all you're fighting for
But it's harder now, harder now, oh than before
But things get broken
Like hearts left wide open
What is a thought if unspoken?
You know I don't wanna feel less than equal
I thought I made it clear or I just don't know people
You reach a point in life when it's all you're fighting for
But it's harder now, much harder now, than before
It’s harder now, harder now, than before
Harder now harder now, than before

Where to Now?
02:24
|

Where to Now?
Don’t be one more tree fallen on the log-strewn path
Don’t get lost to your inner windings
Never see the wood...
I know that you’ve been harb’ring thoughts
Any heart would feel weighed down
Take your time deciding don’t be
Rushing now, there’s no need
Just don’t give in to
All you’re driven to
Find your way back home
Don’t be one less voice shouting out into the night
Don’t lose faith by thinking
You don’t shine as bright
You make a difference everytime..
Everytime you try
And you won't be sorry to have
not let go I promise
Just don’t give in to
All you’re driven to
Find your way back home
And to answer your own question
"Where to now?"
You've come so far just try to stay
On the path you’re on somehow

Looking down these empty tracks
Knowing that my train has gone
Wondering when my train will come back
Hope against hope it’s not gone for long
Don’t need the first, up at 9:39
20 past 11 downbound would be fine
Four and five times up the mountain, and down again
Cercedilla to Cotos: C-9
Listen to the whistle blow
See those red and white cars roll
Feel the wheels rounding the narrow gauge curves
I can hear them scream, but just in my dreams
Come back and free my soul

At a Time Like This
How do I tell you I love you
At a time like this
How do I hold you and keep you safe
At a time like this
How does anyone see the light
And make it through the night
How do I help you to feel all right
At a time like this
So just come and hold me tight
At a time like this
How does anyone make sense of it
In a world like this
How do I shelter you from the rain
At a time like this
Give you hope and share your pain
At a time like this
How does anyone deal with what they've been thrown
So make this love your home

Last Lick of Light
02:37
|
|||
As the last lick of light
Lingered on
Stretching like a finger
Back to the dawn
Fading as the dark
Dowsed out the flame
Beholden to the night
From whence it came
As the last drop is poured
Amber and gold
Feeling like a portent
Of stories untold
Smoke on the tongue
Coarsing the veins
Stoking the embers
'Til nothing remains

Well it seems, so very long
Since I wrote you that Christmas song
It was only yesterday
When that plane took you away from me again
So I’m wishing ‘cos it's all I can do
And I'm hoping & praying that wishes
Would only come true
If our paths cross again
Though it be now and then
Oh please let it be at Christmas time
Please let it be at Christmas time
Though it only comes, once a year
It's the one time you need your love near
So come be with me
It's how Christmas was meant to be
So I'm thinking only of you
And I'm thinking that maybe this time
Wishing's all I need do
If I see you again
Though it be now and then
Oh please let it be at Christmas time
Please let it be at Christmas time
Though it only comes once a year
It's the one time you need your love near
So come be with me
It's how Christmas was meant to be
It's how christmas was meant to be

Track Dogs are an acoustic four piece based in Spain but hail from Ireland, the US and UK.
Taking their name from the NY subway maintenance teams this closely-knit group of ex-pats have opted for Cajón instead of drums and trumpet in place of electric guitar. Four-part harmonies steal the show.
