Moments 03:31
I saw you just outside my window I heard you singing Journey songs I heard you say, “Tim, don’t be lame, just come along” But you see hell is empty, the devils are here I think i’ll stick with the losers, they have no fear When the night time comes they’ll be sincere I can’t say that for the drunks round here You see we laugh like sinners but cry like saints Still breaking out from how we’re made When I think of the days where we first felt pain, I know I know we’ll still fall in love but... I have my moments, I have my fucking moments But you see my cute neighbor I tell her stories But she doesn’t get me like you get me You want me, you got me, a beast and a beauty I like ghost stories, I don’t like parties But you see hell is empty, the devils are here I think i’ll stick with the losers, they have no fear When the night time comes they’ll be sincere I can’t say that for the drunks round here You see we laugh like sinners still cry like saints Still breaking out from how we’re made When I think of the days where we first felt pain, I know I know we’ll still fall in love but... I have my moments, I have my fucking moments

Everynight I lay Under the weight of days that I wish you would say Would come to an end And as my record skips It reminds me of how you kissed Like a favorite song I wish Would play again and again & I don't need your phonecalls or letters to say I know we were something Oh god we were something and I'll always know How you look under stars I know we were something Oh god we were something and I'll always know that my love was real When you lay your head In that lovely bed My side is empty and cold, just like your's And I wish I could be That sense of peace that you need But I'll wait patiently Like the moon waits for the stars

I could see you on the corner on a Saturday night Your grey eyes glow in the diner lights Your cold, young face how it lingers If you would only say one thing to me I’d tell you about this town in the way I see We’ve got a tank of gas and the rest of our lives, dear I would wait for you, I would wait for you As long as I have to My heart is tearing at the seems I only see you in my dreams When I wake, I feel empty The space in my bed where you would sleep When a state line you would leap Now it seems 400 miles long And I would wait for you, I would wait for you, I would wait for you As long as I have to Babe you are, so far away from me In the heat of the day we’ll never meet But the cool of the nights are bittersweet The taste of your lips, how it lingers If I could only ask one thing of you Baby please, let’s see it through Please tell me it’s not a one time thing, girl I would wait for you, I would wait for you, I would wait for you As long as I have to, as long as I have to, as long as I have to Babe you are so far away from me

Everyone is happy but me, tonight My name’s Dr. Jekyll My name’s Mr. Hyde I won’t make it alive I saw the breeze of the ocean carry the ghosts of old lovers Into the ports of seaside towns I saw the cracks on the highway like the lines in your face They said, “you were once, but you’re not welcome here” Everyone is happy but me, tonight My name’s Dr. Jekyll My name’s Mr. Hyde I won’t make it alive I saw the roads turn into mountains And small towns create distance Between me and where I’ve been I saw the cracks in the highway like the lines in your face They said, “you were once, but you’re not welcome here” Everyone is happy but me, tonight My name’s Dr. Jekyll My name’s Mr. Hyde I won’t make it alive There’s two sides of me, I don’t know who you’re gonna see I heard you saying that you want more, but I told you I would be there I heard you saying that you want more Told you I would be there Told you I would love to give you more

Do you remember back when we’re just some kids? Hangin’ out, seein’ shows was all we did Do you remember what it’s like to feel something? Do you recall when we lost all that we know? Dead men on a walk to our last show Do you remember? Now that our dreams are lost But if the scene is dead I’ll be workin’ with the buried If the scene is dead I’ll be crusin’ cemeteries If the scene is dead I’ll be killin’ all the livin’ Do you recall when we met 6 years ago? Wall to wall in the back of a Skrappy’s show Do you remember what it’s like to feel alone? Do you recall a time when we’ve had enough? Are you ready to simply give it up? I’ll be workin’ with the buried If the scene is dead I’ll be crusin’ cemeteries If the scene is dead I’ll be killin’ all the livin’

Pete Seeger 03:58
You were born in 1919 In Manhattan long ago It seems like an eternity Now that I'm old enough to know That through the years that you did sing and play a banjo right and true your words would come to haunt me and you I was born 50 years later A little late to have a son they'd say Well you taught me love through music You even taught me how to play But now that I am 16 And hanging out in a different scene The music that you taught me, well it ain't me I'm gettin' drunk with Henry Rollins While Ian Mackaye shakes his head H.R. teaches me how to sing While Mike Ness shows me how to dress And believe when I tell you dad That I love you all the same But punk rock is drivin' me insane Well I traded in your old banjo For a brand new six-string guitar I pierced my nose, I wear ratty clothes I even stole my mother's car That folk rock shit I've had enough of it I'm tired of playing games No more hippy sing-a-longs And punk rock's to blame I'm gettin' drunk with Henry Rollins While Ian Mackaye shakes his head H.R. teaches me how to sing While Mike Ness shows me how to dress And believe when I tell you dad That I love you all the same But punk rock is drivin' me insane

That first summer we fell faster than the shooting stars That we watched from my roof, when we thought with our hearts And I choked on all the promise of the August air I saw the hearts that you broke, they took months to repair You only see what you want to see I’ll be who I wanna be I think you took much more than you gave to me, more than you gave to me And after all this time it still gets to me, you still get to me You said I think too much well I’m alone without my thoughts No matter where I go, I’ll be ok I know I never know what I want, I never know what I’m after But I said all the things just to make it go faster I ask for too much in the love that I get for free Thanks for ignoring me, I’ll be who I want to be

When you find yourself alone Better find some help alone I will turn around and simply walk away from it all Leave a mess, don’t clean it up Hope no one will know the boy passed out on the floor It’s been a long, long time Should’ve seen this comin’ It’s been a long, long time When you hit the ground runnin’ No more hardcore dancing at The Living Room When you’ve got no one left to hurt Better find something to do Now the kids they're on their own Words won't break their sticks and stones So I just turn around and simply walk away from it all Leave a mess, don’t clean it up Hope no one will know the boy passed out on the floor It’s been a long, long time Should’ve seen this comin’ It’s been a long, long time When you hit the ground runnin’ No more hardcore dancing at The Living Room When you’ve got no one left to hurt Better find something to do You've got no one left to hurt Better find something to do

Cinderella, don’t get too blue I know that work is hard, I’m coming for you And I said... We could go out on the town Put on your dress and take my hand As long as you understand Just Don’t ask me (Don’t ask me) Don’t ask me (Don’t ask me) If I trust you, I’m lonely with or without you Don’t ask me (Don’t ask me) Don’t ask me (Don’t ask me) If I love you, I’m lonely with or without you Cinderella, let’s take our time But don’t you make a wish that goes past tonight And I said... We could go out on the town Put on your dress and take my hand As long as you understand Just Don’t ask me (Don’t ask me) Don’t ask me (Don’t ask me) If I trust you, I’m lonely with or without you Don’t ask me (Don’t ask me) Don’t ask me (Don’t ask me) If I love you, I’m lonely with or without you I’m not writing fairytales, I’m writing penny dreadfuls I don’t think I’ll be alright in the end I could take you out, but just tonight I could show you love, but just tonight

Last night I dreamed that I stared into the sea and saw the waves crash down on you Soaking wet you fell into the sand In piles of leaves I tried to save I know I can never save them all So I'll go Deeper into those waves Until I find them again Mountains roared As clouds of baby birds Began to spit out melodies and as I drowned I could still hear the sound of howling whales as they buried me I know I can never save them all So I'll go Deeper into those waves Until I find them again You are my burning skies You are my summer nights Last night I dreamed that I stared into the sea and saw the waves crash down on you And as I drowned I could still hear the sound of the waves as they buried me And I know I can never keep them all So I'll go Deeper into those waves Until I find them again You are my burning skies You are my summer nights
