Busted StuffHaha
Look at that girl
Woman...
Not
enough
Never too much
The woman look just like love
Rolling
stone
Gathers no moss
But leave a trail of
Busted Stuff
I know
she's gonna leave
My broken heart behind her
I take what she's giving
up
I know she's gonna leave
This broken man behind her
I take what
she's giving up
Sweet sugar lips
Push from the hips
Woman looks
just like love
Without a care
She floats above
She got me down here
looking up
I know she's gonna leave
My broken heart behind her
I
take what she's giving up
I know she's gonna leave
My broken heart
behind
Yeah, Yeah...
She me one
She my one
She my one
Little
love
When she move
She move so cool
She make me feel just like a
fool
But inside
Where the devil hides
Women looks just like
love
I know she's gonna leave
My broken heart behind
I take what
she's giving up, oh
I know she's gonna leave
My broken heart behind her
now
I get what she's giving up, oh
I know she's gonna leave
Her
broken man behind
Hey, yeah...
She my one
She my one
She the one
for me
Yeah...
I know she's gonna leave
My broken heart
behind
Yeah, yeah...
She my one...
Grey StreetLook at how she listens
She says nothing of what she
thinks
Just listens to abuses
And by the kitchen sink...
She
thinks, "Hey!
Why do I live to this?
I'm latest on life
How did it end
like this?"
Oh, then the wrongs in her heart fall
And she feels the weight
in lies
And the colors mix together to grey
Grey Street
Begging now
the difference
She prays to God most everynight
Although she swears He
doesn't listen
There's hope in her that He just might
She said, "I
Pray!" "I Pray!" "I
Pray!"
"But they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take it all on
myself
To get out of this place."
But soon the wrongs in her heart
fall
And then she rode the light in
Oh, the pain now seems it's
over
And again she sees the pain
And then the colors mix together to
grey
On Grey Street
It's all colored in again
Take what you can
from your dreams
Make it real as anything
Takes the work out of the
courage
She said, "Please!" "Please!" "Please!"
"There's someone sleeping outside my door
I
live on the corner of Grey Street
And the end of the world."
And the
wrong in her whole plan
I as hopeless as the day she came
And the man she
calls her father
Ignores her and ignores her pain
Oh, when I walk out
in the morning
In all this sunlight
And all the colors mix together to
grey
On Grey Street
On Grey Street
It's Grey Street, you go
So,
if you don't see your Heaven
Don't convince yourself you're done
Just
'cause the things around you seem heavy
Doesn't mean you can give up this
ground
When you hold me down in the heart now
Move out and, oh, the
wait is over
Oh, might notice of your worry
One another ... (?)
And the
colors mix together to grey
On Grey Street
On Grey Street
To
grey...
Yeah, yeah...
Digging a DitchUnto your dreaming
When you're alone
Unplug the
TV
Turn off the phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause
I'm digging a ditch where madness gives
Digging a ditch where silence
lives
Digging a ditch for when I'm old
Digging a ditch where stories
told
Where all these troubles
That weigh down on me will rise
Unto your
dreaming
When you're alone
Where all these worries
That hold heavy on
my heart
Will die, will die, will die...
Unto your dreaming
When
you're alone
Unplug the TV
Turn off your phone
Get heavy on with
digging your ditch
Cause I'm diggin a ditch where madness
gives
Digging a ditch where silence lives in here
Digging a ditch and when
I'm through
Digging this ditch I'll dig in for you
Where all these
disappointments
That grow angry out of me will die
Where all these
habits
That hold heavy on my heart will die
Unto your dremaing
When
you're alone
Not what you're sure be or what you've become
Just getting
heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I'm digging a ditch where madness
gives again
I'm digging a ditch where silence lives
Where all these
troubles that weight down on me will rise
Will rise...
Will
rise...
Will rise...
Unto your dreaming
When you're alone
Unplug
the TV
Turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your
ditch
Sweet Up and DownBig dog bites the bone
Life's too short to take all
this
Not true when what's more:
Life's too short to mind
Just keep on
with
The Sweet Up and Down
Unturning her cheek
Inside-out, her neat
little pose
Dirty, little girl
Climbs out of the hole in her own
In
this Sweet up and Down
I believe in love
But believe it's my heart
that keeps turning me down
I believe in love
I think it's just fine
Oh,
the Sweet up and Down
Big pig turns to me
Pig he needs to eat like us
all
Not far from the beast
Man sits down to feast on this part
Of the
Sweet up and down
I believe in love
And believe it's my heart that
keeps turning me down
I believe in love
I think it's just fine
On the
Sweet up and Down
BT...
Up and down, inside out
Outside in some you
lose some
You win for us all
Up and down we go
Bad times choke us all
once or twice
On this Sweet up and Down
I believe in love
But think
nothing about it when you're not around
I believe in love
I think you're
just fine
On the Sweet up and Down
I believe in love
But believe in
my heart that keeps turning me down
I believe in love
I think you're just
fine
On the Sweet up and Down...
JTRI drink you up
For every drop of you is sacred
Every drop I
drink you up
You fill my cup
The way you laugh
Eyes of a
child
Lean on me, you fill me up
You make me love
So unconditionally
generous
To me you give me love
And break my heart
Slip, you fall, I
pick you up and dust you off
You break my heart
Rain, rain, rain down
on me
Again and again
Rain down on me
Take all you want
For what
is mine is yours
No better use is there for what I've got
Take all you
want
And only hope can I, you won't deny
Your love for me, my
love
No, don't cry, if it's too high
I lift you up, we'll make it,
make it
When I was oh so tired
You come along to wake me, wake me
Time
and time, again and again
With a smile you save me child
Oh, oh,
oh...
Rain, rain, rain down on me
Again and again
Rain down on
me
Look, we play our cards
And I question by the grace of what
We
play our cards at all
Come fill me up
Oh, fill me love when I'm
empty
when I'm all dried up
No, dont cry, if it's too high
I lift
you up, we'll make it, make it
Oh, I was so so tired
You come along to
wake me, wake me
Time and time, again and again
With a smile you save me
child
Oh, oh, oh...
Rain, rain, rain down on me
Again and
again
Rain down on me
Rain, rain, rain down on me...
Big Eyed FishStory of a man
Who decided not to breath
Turned red,
purple, then blue
Colorful indeed
No matter how his friends
begged
Well, he would not concede
And now he's dead
You see,
'cause everybody knows
You got to breathe
But, oh God,
Under the
weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side...
Lighter on the
other side...
Another one:
See this monkey sitting in his tree
One
day, decided to climb down
And run off to the city
Look at him
now
Tired, and drunk
And living in the street
As good as
dead
You see, a monkey should know
Stay up your tree
But, oh
God,
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
Oh
God,
But under the weight of life
Things seem much lighter on the other
side
No way...
No way...
No way...
Out...
Of
here...
Another one:
A Big Eyed Fish
Yeah, swimming in the
sea
Oh, how he dreamed
He wants to be a bird
Swooping, diving through
the breeze
One day
He caught a big blue wave
Up onto the beach
And
now he's dead
You see, a fish's dream
Should stay in the
sea
But, oh God,
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on
the other side
Oh God,
But under the weight of life
Things seem
brighter on the other side
No way...
No way...
No
way...
Out...
Of Here...
No way out of here...
No way out of
life...
Grace is GoneNeon shines through smoky eyes tonight
It’s 2 AM, I’m
drunk again
It’s heavy on my mind
It’s heavy on my mind
I could
never love again
So much as I love you
Where you end where I begin
Is
like a river flowing through
Take my heart, take my eyes
'Cause I'll
need them no more
If never again they’ll fall upon
The one I so
adore
'Scuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it
strong
'cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is
Gone
Another drink and I’ll move on
One drink to remember, and another
to forget
How could I ever dream to find a love like this again
One drink
to remember, and another to forget...
Excuse me please, one more
drink
Would you make it strong
'Cause I don’t need to think
She broke
my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I’ll move on
One more drink
and ill move on...
You think of things impossible
Then the sun refuse
to shine
I woke with you beside me
Your cold hand lay in
mine
'Scuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it
strong
'Cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is
Gone
Another drink and I’ll go...
'Scuse me please, one more
drink
Could you make it strong
'Cause I don’t need to think
She broke
my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I'll move on
One more drink
and I'll move on
One more drink my Grace is Gone.
CaptainCrazy as I may
Make my way through this world, oh
It's for
no one but me to say
What direction I should turn in now
'Cause I am
the captain of this ship
Wanting eyes and kissing lips
The same as it
was
And will remain until I'm done
And gone
Strange, but it
seems
There's mutiny brewing inside of me now
I don't want your
pity
Just the promise that I'll be alright
'Cause I am the captain of
this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
The same as it was
And will be
until I'm gone
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer
Still think it's strange
I
won't be long for here
Oh, I know that I feel, oh
Wait and go
again
Again...
Oh, look, I'm buried
Like a cancer eating away
inside of me
I don't want your pity
Only the promise that I'll be okay
now
But I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and
fingertips
The same as it was before here
Here, back
After
all
Why should I be hypnotized
By the promise of a long life?
Why
should I hold hope
In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by?
Why should I lean
everything upon ...
I won't be here long...
Oh, I know I'm a
dreamer
Still seems a truth
I won't be long for here
Oh, it's so, but I
think I lay this
On now your lips
I'm drowning
I am the Captain of
...
Oh...
But, I'll be okay after all.
BartenderIf I go
Before I'm old
Oh, brother of mine
Please
don't forget me if I go
Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With
the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the
ground
Oh, and if I die
Before my time
Oh, sweet sister of
mine
Please don't regret me if I die
Bartender, please
Fill my
glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three
days in the ground
Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the
wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the
ground
I'm on bended knees, I pray
Bartender, please
When I was
young, I didn't think about it
Now I can't get it out of my mind
I'm
on bended knees
Father, please
Oh, and if all this gold
Should
steal my soul away
Oh, dear mother of mine
Please redirect me if this
gold...
Bartender, you see
The wine that's drinking me
Came from
the vine that strung Judas from the Devil's tree
His roots deep, deep in the
ground
Bartender, you see
The wine that's drinking me
Came from the
vine that strung Judas from the Devil's tree
Its roots deep, deep in the
ground
Ground...
I'm on bended knees
Oh, Bartender,
please
I'm on bended knees
Father, please
When I was young, I
didn't think about it
Now I just want to run and hide
I'm on bended
knees
Oh, Bartender, please
Bartender, please...
Monkey ManGreat Monkey Man has gone the distance
The lucky one's
going to get it all
Loving life now
Living on top of
Lucky ones always
get it all
Oh, I'm hungry
Don't wanna die like a little dog
Gonna
take what I can get
I'm the Monkey Man
With the great, great monkey
plan
It's crazy, crazy, little man
You've got yourself
entangled
Oh, love to lie to myself
To say everything is fine
now
We got to keep it up
Or fall behind
I got to keep it up
Or lose
the edge we found there faster
I'll build higher, still higher
I dig
deeper down 'til it's down in the ground
It's found, used up and then thrown
out
Crazy, crazy little man
What do you think you're doing
here?
Big, beautiful world just for us
Good use we must put it
to
Any way I can think to use it up
What will I tell my grandson's
grandsons?
I could weave a fairy tale
On a great Bible-thumping
scale
When he stands empty hands
On his empty land
That's what happened
here
Great, great Monkey Man
Where did you think grey was the color of
this?
You think I don't know quite what to say
But I'm worried for myself
in this
I'm hungry
Don't wanna die like a little dog
Well, I eat
what I can get
From the Monkey Man
Great, great monkey plan
Crazy,
crazy man
You get yourself turned in a pickle
Crazy, crazy Monkey
Man
Who is the one in the middle
Take a walk
Cross the
ice
Melts too quickly
For us to reach the other side
It's cold in
here
But the sun shines bright, oh
It warms this up well
Oh, the tide
is rising higher
Look, it's strange
Floating by
Looks just like
ones that
Flow out and ride, oh, I will
Golden age
These golden
times
Our golden days seem to have us
Hypnotized or blind,
well
Kit Kat JamHey, golden girl, with your hair swinging down
All of
this love you have going round
What will you do when the gold turns to
grey?
Have you thought now
Well, what the hay, give us some
Cover
yourself with the safety of lies
You'll find it's easier 'til you face
dying
Oh, sweetest smile in a confident come along
All of this longing you
will done
Up and out, goes to your heart
And you will make yourself
higher up, little fool
And love and go down and pay to go on
We'll lie on
water, and oh
On the way back I slip on the ceiling
Caught you just
then, hands were in the cookie jar
How can we share when you sneak up and
go?
I've no intention of losing by beard
How they design and then we go
again
Oh God, them horses were racing
And, oh, bring me down
Could
put Humpty Dumpty back together again
Now the wall won't hold anyone
I
walk in the slide
Wait and reach your lady
This is the short one
Short
way to lay in
Oh, let her leave my hand I've given up
Whoa, how is too
late now
Oh, free, just...
Were you lying?
Raven(Thanks to Drew McIntosh for the transcription -

Rise and graze on this
The future is a
mess
Oh, where you take this thing
From us we give it in
No longer yet,
oh no
Won't you got your thing
I cheer then empty it from
One over
thing
One over thing
Count out the radiant life
Won't you give in
now
Out of the reasons
Let a light is run
Stone and gate is
lay
Hope you got your lips
Live up to your dreams and give
Wonder
you'll but then
Dark and tossed away
Breach all yourself
On love is
a gaze
Gone and tossed away
Leave the bane stick in and in
Oh I'll
lay here
Don't give up your down, down, down
We don't need all
Heaven's
all underground
Can we leave all
The lord knows it's dark, dark
Rain is
empty receeded
I have to say it's nothing more than
My point of
view
This pride rains for a girl
She slides across the floor
And
looks good as an angel
Watch, I want some more
She's all needed to
me
Best thing I can come
What's all been played with me
The sweetest
one of all
The sweetest one of all
Come on Raven give it up
Won't
you give the light up
I'm to waiting
Here like a (?)
When I say this I
mean all
Won't you go with your head
Live life till you don't need in
it
But don't give up on it
All then tossed away
Ah, don't you give
up this little stray
Gone, then tossed away
Read, God is on the
page
Pray on word
Have you say you get down, down, down
Oh, we
leave here
We need more love round, around, around
They won't let it go
on, oh, man cower down
Here no worry, to rest they say nothing more then I
wouldn't do
Can leave us love to die, no
Would you give your
love?
Rise up, you Raven
If you like to live it down on it
Won't let
you down here, would you got
Raisins up, to spread around the
place
God got locked away
No, don't place it in time
We walk
away
Then rise up your wings
Read the way out of the wars
Oh, my
lady
Oh all, in all around and round, round
I won't let
you
(?)
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
Oh, I won't be
this
I'm here to say it's
Nothing more than my point of view
