There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
My life was empty, forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear
I was in the kitchen
Seamus, that’s the dog, was outside
Well, I was in the kitchen
Seamus, my old hound, was outside
Well you know, the sun was sinkin' slowly
But my old hound dog sat right down and cried
I think most people there know each other. I wouldn't be surprised if my aunt and uncle knew the Conlan family, but I don't remember whether they said so.
On the seventh hour
Of the seventh day
Of the seventh month
The seven doctors said
"He was born for good luck
And that you'll see"
I got seven hundred dollars
Don't you mess with me
Shane is a small-town kid from Frewsburg, NY. My great aunt and uncle lived there. Aunt Mary was a huge Bills fan and she was ecstatic when the Bills drafted Shane. I don't remember if she knew his family or not.
A well'a bless my soul
What'sa wrong with me?
I'm itchin' like a man in a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love
(Huh!)
I'm all shook up
She said, "My breasts, they will always be open
Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me
And there will always be a space in my parking lot
When you need a little coke and sympathy"
There comes a redeemer
And he slowly too fades away
There follows a wagon behind him
That's loaded with clay
And the seeds that were silent
All burst into bloom and decay
And night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day
Can you believe me when I say
There's nothin' I'd like better
Than just to sit here and talk with you?
Although I'll rant and I'll rave
About one thing and another
The beauty of it is (hope you'll agree)
Though I'm a poor boy
I can still be happy
As long as I can feel free
I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growin' tired, and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
And the sign said
"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why
He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man
I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that
Huh, me workin' for you"
Yeah, I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine
Just twenty-two baby I don't mind dying
Snake skin shoes baby put them on your feet
Got the good time music and the Bo Diddley beat
