Untamed Waters
04:46

While the Jean’s steering down to the river bend
We saw them waves rollin’ mighty high
And all the boys mumbling to themselves
“You wet devil, we won’t die”
And it was ... just flat-out madness
That we took ol' Jean down there
Down a stream where no one’s been before
Of burstin’ waters, of myth and fear
And as the rogues ‘re hitting hard and the water broke
Lady Jean started spinning wild
We tried to grip onto the ropes we held
Prayed to Jesus we wouldn’t die
But damn it ... young Billy tumbled
And so did Joon the pin boy, too
As they joined their last dance ‘cross the planks
Toppled over and hit their tomb
You ridin’ untamed waters
Don’t ever let your grip gettin’ lose
You sailin’ untamed waters
Don’t let the rapids spoil that cruise
And when the tide came down past the river bend
A golden light headin’ from the sky
And then ol’ Deacon shoutin’ by the rail
Spotting the boys side by side
And we splashed ... into the waters
But it was all too late by then
Joon and Billy driftin’ peacefully
(Yeah) just like brothers hand in hand
You ridin’ untamed waters
Don’t ever let your grip gettin’ lose
You sailin’ untamed waters
Don’t let the rapids spoil that cruise
You ridin’ untamed waters
Don’t ever let your grip gettin’ lose
You sailin’ untamed waters
It’s one for all or you’ll pay your dues

Wyoming

Up here in Wyoming
We’re headed for truth
We’ll stand up for each other
But can’t get consumed
By loathing and hatred
We firmly refuse
Inside out ... yeah
Up here in Wyoming
No struggle’s in vain
We’ll stand up for each other
Hate Trumpian complaints
We’re not to throw on others
Our anger and shame
Not up here ... yeah
Up here in Wyoming
Up here in Wyoming, up here in Wyoming
We won’t rewind the times
Up here in Wyoming
Up here in Wyoming
There’s plenty of cheers
Though sometimes it gets harder
And ease disappears
‘But down in our hearts
There’s laughter and tears
Inside out ... yeah
And sometimes you wonder
Has it ever been clearer
That loathing and hatred
And anger and fear
Are wasted resources
So laughter and tears
We will share ... yeah
Up here in Wyoming
Up here in Wyoming, up here in Wyoming
We won’t rewind the times
Up here in Wyoming

Trapper Sue
01:34
|

While standin’ in the doorway
She said though everything’s been a real blast, yo
You shouldn’t ever gonna call me
Little boy ... don’t fall in love ... Trapper Sue
Golden sunlight on the river
Like children we took a dive down in blue waters
Her kisses struck like heavy lightnin’
Say her name ... poor little fool ... Trapper Sue
She’s rakin’ all the foolish
Believing (them) ladies would heavily crave them
Poor little fools you’re gonna get it
Wouldn’t you ... know that her name’s ... Trapper Sue
And now this sunlit mornin’
I wonder (how) many boys she has been counting
Listen to her voice she’s speaking softly
Say my name ... poor little fool ... Trapper Sue

I Shot the President
02:52
|
|||
On Sunday last week
When I felt the need
To do what finally had to be done
I brushed my dyed blonde hair
And defied despair
I knew my life had just begun
I shot the president
So straight in his heart
I shot the president
It tears me apart
Oh, I've killed a gentleman
So sweet and so smart
I shot the president in his heart
There was a special time
When love made me blind
When lovers were besotted fools
His first lady I'd been
For one night of sin
How was I to know he's so cruel
I shot the president
So straight in his heart
I shot the president
It tears me apart
Oh, I've killed a gentleman
So sweet and so smart
I shot the president in his heart
On Sunday afternoon
When he met his doom
Soon everything was out of line
He stumbled to his fall
No power at all
Revenge was tasting sweeter than wine
I shot the president
So straight in his heart
I shot the president
It tears me apart
Oh, I've killed a gentleman
So sweet and so smart
I shot the president in his heart

Save Us
04:25
|
|||
Wouldn’t you care for each other
For each other, why did you say
He were about to lose his mind
Though he’s tellin’ you straight
(Let’s) save us ... save us ... walk us through that night
(Let’s) save us ... save us ... and we’re gonna be alright
Wouldn’t you care for each other
For each other, why did you say?
No, there’s no way I’m helpin’ out
See her struggle that way
(Let’s) save us ... save us ... walk us through that night
(Let’s) save us ... save us ... and we’re gonna be alright
Shouldn’t we all be weary countin’ down these blows
Shouldn’t we all be damned to watch our hatred grow, yeah
Wouldn’t you side with each other
What’s the matter, why don’t you say
A brighter future lies ahead
So let’s shoulder that weight
(Let’s) save us ... save us ... walk us through that night
(Let’s) save us ... save us ... and we’re gonna be alright
Shouldn’t we all be weary countin’ down these blows
Shouldn’t we all be damned to watch our hatred grow, yeah
Don’t you dare take your loathing everywhere
We (’re) prepared, we (’re) concerned and we’ll be there
We do care, roam the streets right everywhere
Join the cause, join the spirit like a prayer
Show some pride, take a stand and do it right
It’s a fight, boost your words and mind alike
Don’t you know that our actions (‘re) gonna show
(Ain’t) got no foes, ‘cause our love is gonna grow
Wouldn’t you fight for each other
It’s a noble cause I’d say
Cause there’ll be times they’ll lift you up
They’ll be guiding the way
(Let’s) save us ... save us ... walk us through that night
(Let’s) save us ... save us ... and we’re gonna be alright (dylanesque)
Shouldn’t we all be weary countin’ down these blows
Shouldn’t we all be damned to watch our hatred grow, yeah
Don’t you dare take your loathing everywhere
We (’re) prepared, we (’re) concerned and we’ll be there
We do care, roam the streets right everywhere
Join the cause, join the spirit like a prayer
Show some pride, take a stand and do it right
It’s a fight, boost your words and mind alike
Don’t you know that our actions (‘re) gonna show
(Ain’t) got no foes, ‘cause our love is gonna grow

Jesus on Broadway
04:49
|

Jesus is walking down Broadway, oh yeah
Jesus she’s walking down Broadway
Jesus is walking down Broadway, oh yeah
Jesus she’s walking down Broadway
Her poor shoes ‘re wearin’ thin but she’s walking
Her sullen voice (is) soundin’ rough when she sighs
Her brown eyes they are weary while she’s talkin’
There’ll be better days when greed finally dies
Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus
Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus ... yeah, don't you know
Jesus is walking down Broadway, oh yeah
Jesus she’s walking down Broadway
There’s rage (and) finally young folks are walking
It is spring time and change looms ahead
So will this time the guardians of “justice”
(Be) forced to lower their guards and be fair?
Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus
Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus ... yeah, don't you know
Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus
Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus ... yeah, don't you know
Jesus is walking down Broadway, oh yeah
Jesus she’s walking down Broadway
Jesus is walking down Broadway, oh yeah
Jesus she’s walking down Broadway

Private Jesus
05:11
|

You truly saved me from the gutter
You really did straight everything
You got me sleeping on roses
But I can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind
You held me close when I tumbled
And that was not an easy thing
But still you keep on calling
But I can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind
You’re just like my private Jesus
You did this crazy healin’ thing
But I just can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind
And now it feels I kinda screwed you
I really didn’t do a thing
But now the misery is over
I just can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind
You’re just like my private Jesus
You did this crazy healin’ thing
But I just can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind
I just can’t make up my mind ...

If you wanna get bold 'n get joyful yourself
You need a fresh start all over ... yeah
You wanna get to hold your baby again
You better get real and show her ... yeah
(It’s) been written in the moonlight
Trackin’ down the spirits bouncin’ off the stars
Sailin’ over midnight
They’ve been sailin’ cross the night sky
Though you ain’t gonna get it
Till them stars trippin’ out of that tree
Don’t you ... won’t you ... tell me?
So you’re my future lover
You’re the holy cure
And if you want discover
I’m in for more
I’ve seen ‘em all in bright daylight
They didn’t care
So if you want to shake it
I’ll take you there
If you wanna get bold ‘n get precious yourself
(You’ll) better teach yourself all over ... yeah
If you bored and stuck in ole landscapes you dwell
You need a new path to rover ... yes, you do
(It’s) been written in the moonlight
Trackin’ down the spirits bouncin’ off the stars
Sailin’ over midnight
They’ve been sailin’ cross the night sky
Though you ain’t gonna get it
Till them stars trippin’ out of that tree
Don’t you ... won’t you ... tell me?
So you’re my future lover
You’re the holy cure
And if you want discover
I’m in for more
I’ve seen ‘em all in bright daylight
They didn’t care
So if you want to shake it
I’ll take you there

Lisbon Girl
04:31
|

It’s a town by the river
That I’m dwelling in my mind
Though I seem to comprehend
That it’s been many years
(And) many yearnings of mine
(‘ve) been laid off to foreign lands
Solemn Days all these colors in my head
It’s a waste all this boredom plain and dead
Down the pier I’ll set sail and drift ashore
(I’ve) got an urge to leave the calm to strive once more
Lisbon Girl
You’re rushing through my dreams
Like the Tejo rushing gently
To the wide Atlantic sea
Lisbon Girl
You’re rushing through my dreams
To the mighty open waters
To the vast and rollin’ sea
Spinnin' wheels in my head
(’ve) been in awe of what it takes
(To) be that bold and catch the breeze
Though that town by the river
It is real ... no, it ain’t fake
So I’m bound to cross the sea
Solemn Days all these colors in my head
It’s a waste all this boredom plain and dead
Down the pier I’ll set sail and drift ashore
(I’ve) got an itch to leave the calm to strive once more
Lisbon Girl
You’re rushing through my dreams
Like the Tejo rushing gently
To the wide Atlantic sea
Lisbon Girl
You’re rushing through my dreams
To the mighty open waters
To the vast and rollin' sea

Do you fear trouble
Has your strength doubled
Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other?
Are you still bleedin’ Is your heart cheatin’
Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other
... over and?
Are you still hoping
Will you stand coping
Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other?
It’s a queer fightin’
‘Til the end ridin’
Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other
... over and?
Everett, what’s the answer
You don’t need to drown your soul
Everett, what’s the answer
We don’t know ... we don’t know
... though soon you’ll see, Everett
It’s a grave matter
Will it get better
Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other
(And) though it’s still frightening
Ain’t it enlightening?
Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other
... over and?
Let your love guide you
Feed its strength to you
Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other
Don’t you keep hidin’
Start some queer fightin’
Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other
... over and?
Everett, what’s the answer
You don’t need to drown your soul
Everett, what’s the answer
We don’t know ... we don’t know
... though soon you’ll see, Everett
