Find Love 03:55
Gonna find love / Gonna walk to where you are When I feel you / Gonna shout from the mountain top And we’ll drive all night / To that sunset paradise Gonna breathe in / Fill my lungs with truth and light And there ain’t nobody gonna take away / The love we build tonight ‘Cause it’s loud as thunder and sure as rain Our shelter, our fire Because she’s the one / And nothing’s gonna change The way I feel about her / And it’s pushing through my veins
2.
On them teenage autumn nights / The fire’s burning so bright Park behind the rink / What will mama think When I bring you home so late I’m terrified / That my heart might break and die Remember when I took your hand in mine It’s a come back, baby, tonight / The music is deafening Pearl Jam at the bar / Rancid in the car Singin’ Ruby Soho ‘til the break of dawn Echoes of reggae through my bedroom wall Remember when we drove and touched ‘em all On them teenage autumn nights Ain’t nothing ever felt so right Bunch of vandal juveniles We were in love and out our minds Woohoo It’s a throw down, baby, tonight / Drop the gloves it’s time to fight Walkin’ in the park / Hold you in the dark Blue and reds are flashin’ now I’m stuck inside And the cuffs are rather tight Remember when I took your hand in mine On them teenage autumn nights Ain’t nothing ever felt so right Bunch of vandal juveniles We were in love and out our minds Woohoo
3.
There’s someone I used to know / Look a lot like him Memories lost inside these bones / Radiate within Changing like the ocean / Changing like regimes I’m gonna sing my song ‘til it’s outta key Gonna find out what it means But I feel the same / When you call my name And these memories, these memories, they make me smile We got now, then, forever and I bet Long lives the Restless Fool Climb the highest mountain / Fall down on your knees Asking for forgiveness / Asking to be free
4.
The Brinkmen 03:55
Six billion ticking time bombs / This is how the world will end No need for pyrotechnics / With a whimper not a bang The tides are rising fast now / Ain’t no need to wonder why An apathetic powder keg / We explode toward the sky But don’t forget it The place that you came from / The storm is never done The melting winters / The cuts that time wont heal The people who’ll disappear The winds that moved your hair / The crashing of the waves The spirits and the fog / The words I didn’t say Forgotten words, we lost the war / Elders crying for the dead Rhythms of the earth remember / The disaster in my head But don’t forget it The place that you came from / The storm is never done The melting winters / The cuts that time wont heal The people who’ll disappear The winds that moved your hair / The crashing of the waves The spirits and the fog / The words I didn’t say We’re goin’ away / goin’ away / Goin’ away Words we didn't say / Words we should’ve said
5.
Better Days 02:56
I’ll be comin’ home / You’ll be on your way Walk the street ‘til dawn / These are better days Another late Vancouver night / See them stars burning bright Walk down Main Street all alone / Street lights buzzin’, shadows growin’ Curse the cars as they pass me by / Your memory electrifies I’ve been dreaming since I left this morning, this morning I’ll be comin’ home / You’ll be on your way Walk the street ‘til dawn / These are better days I stumbled through a grizzled rain / One more drink to kill the pain Look so deep in a stranger’s eye / See myself the truth, the lies So far gone I’ve lost my head / Beat up, dragged down, left for dead All I need is one more chance in the morning, in the morning
6.
In Your Eyes 03:36
One early morning / You’ll awake and fear That everything you’ve built has washed out to the sea And you’ve been hiding / From the hurt and pain You walked away from this / It turned out all the same I’d sail the ocean / I’d climb on high To see the world the way I see it in your eyes There ain’t no tomorrow / There ain’t no yesterday Everything’s a lie / Endless days of rain My empty wallet / My battered brain My broken barren heart / The stupid things I say The sky is falling / The night is grey I recall faded pasts and yearn for memories There ain’t no tomorrow / There ain’t no yesterday Everything’s a lie / Endless days of rain But where I see nothing / You see fields of green When the night is darkest, possibility But where I see nothing / You see fields of green When my night is darkest, possibility
7.
Money Gods 04:35
Ridin’ on a wave of smoky dreams The mountain shakes the people scream The money gods will swallow earth and trees Long horizons painted black and green Don’t you ever wonder what they mean? Words of war as songs of peace The new crusade, the lies you can’t believe Power stays the truth deceives Voices rising / The mountain echoes Bye, bye same old song / Been around for way too long Bye, bye world you know / Never gonna let it go Fateful eyes set on the Sailish sea Warriors invade the raven flees The tar is crude the cash is so obscene Stack the deck and make away like thieves Voices rising / The mountain echoes Bye, bye same old song / Been around for way too long Bye, bye world you know / Never gonna let it go Bye, bye days of old / Let down by the hate you sold Bye bye, liberty / Something ‘bout the way it bleeds
8.
When the darkness comes to rest I feel it deep inside my chest This old man has seen it all The darkness falls Things are different than before I’m wicked lonely getting old Leaving this whole thing to fate It’s enough to make me pray For yesterday And the leaves will bow down When you walk by with me Those ships will crash and sink into the sea Before I let you down my love Oh how simple life becomes When the darkness comes on by I hope it misses by a mile Our brothers saw the darkness rise Fought my whole entire life The darkness falls And the leaves will bow down When you walk by with me Those ships will crash and sink into the sea Before I let you down my love Oh how simple life becomes I’ll never let you down, I’ll make you stronger Lay your head upon my shoulder Love will never die Tonight
9.
When you find me on the floor Please remember that I’ve lost it all Re-align me with the stars Thoughts forgotten, but I hunger for All the old days living, just you and I on our own Great adventures, running far away from home But I’d give it all away for one more try When a man regrets his days, forgets his nights You’re a million miles away You’ve got time, I’ve got faith Sometimes when worlds collide, ain’t no need to wonder why There’s just something that I’ve gotta say I’m getting old, I’m getting grey Sometimes when words escape, things will never be the same All the comforts I knew before, they’re long gone now like them dinosaurs I was high-class / I was owed For doing nothing / And I lost the gold Ain’t no difference / Ain’t no way I’ll forget you on this cold and lonesome day
10.
I’m stuck out here and I got no place to go And I see your love is almost all the way gone The cars race by / as we walk along the freeway And the drivers crash before they make their way home Nobody seems to care who I'm lovin', how I'm livin' Everybody seems to know what I’ve taken, what I’ve given And I don’t know if I loved you anyway The murder flies / turns the sky as black as evening And the mountains humble all the people below Nobody seems to care who I'm lovin', how I'm livin' Everybody seems to know what I’ve taken, what I’ve given And I don’t know if I loved you anyway (But I’m a liar)
