Bigger Win
We’re all looking for the bigger win it’s the kind of world we’re living in
Where good enough is good enough and we pass like strangers
I don’t know why I’ve been feeling this way patience and breathing aren’t really my thing
Forgive me for asking forgive me for feeling this way
We’re all looking for the bigger win it’s the kind of world we’re living in
Where good enough is good enough and we pass like strangers
Do you wonder why we’ve been feeling this way
We worship ideals we live in fear
We’re all looking for the bigger win it’s the kind of world we’re living in
Where good enough is good enough and we pass like strangers
We’re all looking for the bigger win it’s the kind of world we’re living in
Where good enough is good enough and we pass like strangers
Open your mind let your heart feed your soul
Open your mind let your heart feed your soul
Open your mind let your heart feed your soul
Open your mind let your heart feed your soul
We’re all looking for the bigger win it’s the kind of world we’re living in
Where good enough is good enough and we pass like strangers
Open your mind let your heart feed your soul
Open your mind let your heart feed your soul
Open your mind let your heart feed your soul
Open your mind let your heart feed your soul
Open your mind let your heart feed your soul

Nothing Is Free
I made myself a strong cup of coffee to face the light of the day
But my pantry is empty and the children are hungry I can’t find a job that pays
Even if you’ve got a strong constitution it may not give you the right
To go out and get what you need you better be ready for a fight
Nothing is free anymore
Nothing is free anymore
Nothing is free anymore
I just can’t win
You can elect to follow the demons and watch them swallow you whole
You best watch out for that slippery slope or down down down you go
Nothing is free anymore
Nothing is free anymore
Nothing is free anymore
We just can’t win
Whoo hoo...
Beware the man as he comes making promises you know he cannot keep
‘Cause in this land of the misfit toys it’s always going to be hard to get a good night’s sleep
Nothing is free anymore
Nothing is free anymore
Nothing is free anymore
Nothing is free…
Whoo hoo……

La Da Da Da
La da da da la da da da la da da da da...
I saw the sunrise this morning I took a walk down to the coast
An island in the distance and the one I love the most
I’ve got no plans for tomorrow save the ones I make today
I’m gonna go and make a future with my hands and some clay
I’m gonna sing myself a song and maybe you could sing along
It goes la da da da la da da da la da da da da, it goes la da da da la da da da da
In your eyes I see the troubles that you’re dying to let go
Nothing here between us just our bodies and some soul
I’m gonna sing you a song maybe you could sing along
It goes la da da da la da da da la da da da da, it goes la da da da la da da da da
With no plans for tomorrow save the ones you make today
Why don’t you go and make a future with your hands
I’m gonna sing you a song maybe you could sing along...

The Edge
Everybody’s got their own way of talking
Everybody’s got their writer they want you to read
I choose rhyme over reason on the path i've been walking
Dangerously close to the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge, the edge
Of course we have problems and our lives are all fragile, what’s at stake if not everything
The tighter you hold on the more it unravels
And fortunes are thrown over the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge, the edge
One day there'll be spaceships to take us away
From the poisons we've sown in the earth
But the seats will be costly and too few to mention
And the galaxy pulls us out to the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge, the edge
Of course we have problems and our lives are all fragile, but what’s at stake if not everything

The Way I Am
Sometimes I can't find the words to say
Open my mouth and say some anyway
It's just the way I am
When life gets tough that’s when the blood gets flowing
My face gets flush and then the whole world is knowing
It's just the way I am
Just the way I am at the end of the day
Trying hard to make a stand as I get in my way
It’d be easier to fade but I got my own plan
It’s just the way I am, it’s just the way I am
Cranky and gruff is how my loved ones know me
You don’t come around enough they always let me know
It’s just the way I am
Just the way I am at the end of the day
Trying hard to make a stand as I get in my way
It’d be easier to fade but I got my own plan
It’s just the way I am, it’s just the way I am
Feeling beat up by my endless problems
Trying to stay out of the gossip columns
Just the way I am
Just the way I am at the end of the day
Trying hard to make a stand as I get in my way
It’d be easier to fade but I got my own plans
It’s just the way I am
It’s just the way I am at the end of the day
Trying hard to make a stand as I get in my way
It’d be easier to fade but I got my own plans
It’s just the way I am, it’s just the way I am
Sometimes I can't find the words to say
Open my mouth and say some anyway
It's just the way I am, it's just the way I am

Acrobats
The world was made for acrobats who get up after a fall like that and they shake it off
I wasn’t built like that I could fall apart at the drop of a hat damn it all
With so many emotions to deal with in this life just getting through the daily strife
I just wanna feel, I just wanna feel, I just wanna feel real
The truth is rare and seldom seen I held it once within a dream and now it’s gone
The hardest part of staying clean is living somewhere in between your breath and thought
So many emotions to deal with in this life just getting through the daily strife
I just wanna feel, I just wanna feel, I just wanna feel real
I just wanna feel, I just wanna feel, I just wanna feel real
The world was made for acrobats who get up after a fall like that and they shake it off

When the Trains Pass By
Maybe I’m being ridiculous or time is chasing me
But the plans that I once had are not the future that I see
I once had a religion I said my prayers and acted good
But the story didn’t suit me as if a story ever could
Late at night when the trains pass by, late at night when the trains pass by
I think about the miles I’ve travelled, late at night when the trains pass by
Over the squeal of the brakeman over the burning of the coal
There’s a fire in the belly only embers warm your soul
Late at night when the trains pass by, late at night when the trains pass by
I think about the miles I’ve travelled, late at night when the trains pass by
With the whiskey and the tears and all I’ve swept under the rug
Something disappears…...when the trains go passing by
I think about the miles I’ve travelled, late at night when the trains pass by
Late at night when the trains pass by, late at night when the trains pass by
I think about the miles I’ve travelled, late at night when the trains pass by
Maybe I’m being ridiculous……

We All Fall Down
Ice rattles in a hotel glass some things weren’t made to last
Cough drops and cigarettes we’ll get through this winter yet
One hit is all it takes ‘til all the lucky breaks come crashing in
We all fall down, we all fall down, we all fall down
Whatchya gonna do when it comes for you the ones you love
What can you do with the war the plague the debt
We all fall down, we all fall down, we all fall down
Butterscotch aspens, Colorado sage, fear and loathing is all the rage
We all fall down, we all fall down, we all fall down
Whatchya gonna do when it comes for you the ones you love
What can you do with the war the plague the debt
We all fall down, we all fall down, we all fall down
Ice rattles in a hotel glass some things aren’t made to last
Cough drops and cigarettes we’ll get through this winter yet

Castor Bay
When I was a boy we used to go down to Castor Bay
Lay our nets for the salmon and the Dollaghan trout as we rowed against the mighty waves
I was fearless in a squall I’d set my shoulders to the oars
Doing what I’d been taught by my Pa my heart anchored to the shore
We had McStay’s soda bread butter in the pan
Water from the well really made the man
Lie upon lie and yarn upon yarn we’d be up all night
Wish I could be there now
The morning brought barrels of fire there were gunmen and geese
We caught goldfinches and bullfinches in traps laden with seed
We had McStay’s soda bread butter in the pan
Water from the well really made the man
Lie upon lie and yarn upon yarn we’d be up all night
Wish I could be there now
Pour a little whiskey in the jar let the curtains come down
As the shields we used to beat back life lay abandoned on the ground
As some truths get told and some fears are named
Like brothers we share the secrets that we’ll carry to the grave
We had McStay’s soda bread butter in the pan
Water from the well really made the man
Lie upon lie and yarn upon yarn we’d be up all night
Wish I could be there now

Rory & The Diplomats
I never claimed to be a diplomat how do you expect me to respond to that
You’re much cooler where the air is thin draw a deep breath and let it in
Some say there’ll never be the likes of him again, some spend their lives just to pretend
Rory & The Diplomats may never take the stage again, even the best things have to end
Horned rimmed glasses and a cigarette leaning off the fender of an old Corvette
You remember that scrawny kid well he went and made himself in a world like this
Yeah he went and made himself in a world like this
Some say there’ll never be the likes of him again, some spend their lives just to pretend
Rory & The Diplomats may never take the stage again, even the best things have to end
Red pen on my music stand showing me the secrets so I can comprehend
I’m trying to comprehend
If you’re gonna make that sound again well you better get an SG and a Fender Twin
You better get an SG and a Fender Twin If you’re gonna make that sound again
If you’re gonna make that sound again well you better get an SG and a Fender Twin
Some say there’ll never be the likes of him again, some spend their lives just to pretend
Rory & The Diplomats may never take the stage again, even the best things have to end
Some say there’ll never be the likes of him again some spend their lives just to pretend...

In The End
She held her lover in the bed until his breath was gone until his breath was gone
The animals have all been fed why don’t you take some bread, go paint the town
Cats and dogs all cuddle up to say their last farewell
Never will he wake up his soul has cast its shell
We all come together in end in the end yeah we all come together in the end
We’re burning the past nothing will last it all goes up in flames
Learning to fly everyone's high and no one is to blame
You're so confident just pay the rent and you can keep your place
I have no doubt we’ve all been played out
We all come together in end in the end yeah we all come together in the end
We all come together in end in the end yeah we all come together in the end
We all come together in end in the end yeah we all come together in the end
The battle lines have been crossed nothing is lost everything to gain
The armaments the sacraments they all bring pain
We all come together in end in the end yeah we all come together in the end
We all come together in end in the end yeah we all come together in the end
We all come together in end in the end yeah we all come together in the end
We all come together in end in the end yeah we all come together in the end
