The Way of Things
03:45
|
|||
There are worse things in this world
You just ain’t seen nothing yet
There’s no shame in love and loss
There’s no heart without regret
There’s a longing in your soul
It’s the most you’ve ever felt
You can hide it all you want
But you can’t run from yourself
Take every thing you can carry in both hands
Stick to the back roads, live off the land
Don’t ever look back, never be in doubt
There are worse things in this world
And you’re just finding out
It’s the way of things, the way of things
It’s the way of things, the way of things
There are worse things in this world
You just ain’t seen nothing yet
There are souls whose darkest deeds
Will make you wish you could forget
There’s a feeling in your gut
That you simply can’t ignore
Like a hunger or a thirst
It won’t wait any more
Take every cent you can gather in your name
When your eyes are opened
You’ll never be the same
Mind every word that issues from your mouth
There are worse things in this world
And you’re just finding out
La vida choca
La vida roba
La vida mata
La vida corta
La vida extraña
La vida amarga
La vida niega
La vida espera

A sunset worthy of a song
Might try to write it, what could go wrong?
If truth will out in the end
I could just start all over again
It pains me to see you this way
Broke from the inside, fragile as clay
If you ever need to go back
I’ll take you home, help you cover your tracks
I’ll help you to cover your tracks
We seldom get what we want
Our stories could be the same
Both near our breaking point
Almost out of the game
We’re tired of tryin’ to even the score
Never get our foot in the door
Nothin’ ever seems good enough, no, anymore
A sunset worthy of a song
Might try to write it, what could go wrong?
If truth will out in the end
I could just start all over again
It pains me to see you this way
Broke from the inside, fragile as clay
If you ever need to go back
I’ll take you home, help you cover your tracks
I’ll help you cover your tracks
We stumble before we can walk
Always chasing our tails
Words half formed in the dark
Lives about to derail
We’re tired of only getting half way
Of never ever having our say
How long can we just keep giving it away
A sunset worthy of a song
Might try to write it, what could go wrong?
If truth will out in the end
I could just start all over again
It pains me to see you this way
Broke from the inside, fragile as clay
If you ever need to go back
I’ll take you home, help you cover your tracks
I’ll help you cover your tracks

I could be your silver bullet,
aim right for your heart
I could be your silver bullet, babe, aim right for your heart
If you don’t want me to ring that bell
Better stop now before we start
You could be my silver bullet with your full moon voodoo stare
You could be my silver bullet with your full moon voodoo stare
If you don’t want me to love you
Better turn away that vixen glare
My moon-eyed baby, she don’t know which way she’s goin’
My moon-eyed baby, she don’t know which way she’s goin’
If she waxing or she’s waning
I don’t even know
Come this time tomorrow
Hope she’ll wax some more
My moon-eyed baby, shine on, honey, don’t you go
My moon-eyed baby, shine on, honey, don’t you go
Keep on shining, baby, right on my back door
You do your little dance. You don’t know what you’re doing to me
You do your little dance. I think you know what you’re doing to me
If you don’t want to reach that peach
Why do you shake that tree?
I could be your silver bullet
Aim right for your heart
I could be your silver bullet
Aim right for your heart
If you don’t want to ring that bell
Better stop now before we start

Sometimes you feel like rambling
Sometimes you wanna ride ‘til dawn
But Sometimes when the grass is looking
Greener on the other side
Just stay at home, and water the lawn
Sometimes things don’t go so well
Sometimes they look just dire
Sometimes your life can go to hell
Sometimes you’re just sick and tired
Sometimes you feel like rambling
Sometimes you wanna ride ‘til dawn
But Sometimes when the grass is looking
Greener on the other side
Just stay at home, and water the lawn
Sometimes you feel like wanderin’
Soemtimes you wanna play the field
Sometimes you don’t like the rut your in
So sometimes you wanna jerk the wheel
Sometimes you feel like rambling
Sometimes you wanna ride ‘til dawn
But Sometimes when the grass is looking
Greener on the other side
Just stay at home, and water the lawn
Y’oughta just stay home and water the lawn
You gotta just stay home and hit that...

Peace inside
Change everything
Peace inside
See what it brings
Change your mind to look within
Peace inside
That’s everything
And no one knows the secret
So don’t be fooled
It’s only trial and error
And that’s up to you
No one’s got the answers
They can’t be schooled
We all learn the same
No matter what we do
Peace inside
Change everything
Peace inside
See what it brings
Change your mind to look within
Peace inside
That’s everything
No one gets a short cut
No work around
You only make the distance
Feet on the ground
No one’s any better
Or worse than you
You’ve only gotta look
To see the truth
(A little) peace inside
Change everything
Peace inside
See what it brings
Change your mind to look within
Peace inside
That’s everything

Play Nice
03:35
|

I’m out of control
Don’t do what I’m told
I’m thinking there’s no hope left for me
I’m digging a hole
Somewhere to bury my bones
I’m living the dream but upside down
But I remember what my mama said
Still runnin’ round in my head
Never really understood it til I’d fallen down
Yeah I remember what my mama said
Play nice con los niños en el parque
Don’t bite like a bicho in the noche
Do right and you’ll never be alone
Play nice con los perros y los gatos
Don’t fight unless ya really really got to
Do right and you’ll never be alone
I’m down on my luck
Gotta feeling I’m stuck
Not seeing there’s a way out for me
I’m out of my head
All I’m seeing is red
Wish someone would come and rescue me
But I remember what my mama said
Still runnin’ round in my head
Never really understood it til I’d fallen down
Yeah I remember what my mama said
Play nice con los niños en el parque
Don’t bite like a bicho in the nochn
Do right and you’ll never be alone
Play nice con los perros y los gatos
Don’t fight unless ya really really got to
Do right and you’ll never be alone

Sleep With One Eye Open
03:01
|
|||
I just found out today the little game you play
I’ve been sleeping all my life away
You’ve been stepping so they say between midnight and day
So I’m gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
From now on (from now on) all night long (all night long)
You won’t have a chance to treat your daddy wrong
You’ve been stepping so they say between midnight and day
So I’m gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
There’s honky tonk down the road just a mile or so
I understand that’s where you spend your time
Baby I got news for you your little game is through
From now on baby you’re gonna toe the line
You thought you were being wise running around with other guys
And leaving me to spend my time alone
But you’ll find out today it don’t work out that way
You started a little game that two can play

Strange Days
03:04
|

There's some strange days ahead
I feel it in my bones
Can't tell you what
Just trust me that I know
Brace for the storm
And watch your back
Don't fear the worst
'Cos it won't come to that
You're not alone
You're not alone
Yeah there's tough times ahead
But not like before
And it must be bad
To keep us behind doors
But hope for the best
Pray for a win
Fear is the enemy
Don't you let it in
You're not alone
You're not alone
There's some weird road ahead
Into the night
Hands on the wheel
Steer towards the light
Stay on the path
You're ridin' on
And pretty soon
These troubles will be gone

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is to darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)

She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
(Rhiannon)

(Rhiannon)
Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)

Yo ho ho oh. Weigh hey ho!
Yo ho ho oh. Weigh hey ho!
It was a calm, still day in Yarmouth,
The channel clear and wide,
As the last of the timber sailing ships
Sailed out on the evening tide.
They never saw that ship again;
They searched when it was light,
But that fine old timber vessel sank
That clear and peaceful night.
Yo ho ho oh. Weigh hey ho!
Yo ho ho oh. Weigh hey ho!
No one knows what happened
On that night in 1910;
But the crew and her cargo of woodpeckers
Were never seen again.
Yo ho ho oh. Weigh hey ho!
Yo ho ho oh. Weigh hey ho!

Here’s a little wishful thinking
Be mindful of yourselves this Christmas
Leave behind our small misgivings
Fill those hearts whose joy is missing
It’s the season to be jolly
Makes more sense than senseless folly
Remember when your life was simpler
Hopes and dreams your stocking filler
So carry on this wishful thinking
And make it last beyond the winter
‘Cos when the cold around us gathers
That’s when goodwill truly matters
And if it’s only wishful thinking
Maybe it’s that I’ve been drinking
Forgive me for my past transgressions
This old fool could yet learn his lesson
Call on those who might just need it
Simple gestures, love preceded
Tell me that it’s wishful thinking
That I’m the only one who feels it
Make a case for all your wishes
This is all I want for Christmas
Spare a thought for those who need it
Simple gestures, love preceded
Tell me that it’s wishful thinking
That I’m the only one who feels
Make a case for all your wishes
This is all I want for Christmas

Track Dogs Madrid, Spain
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.
