Red Wine 03:53
Red wine pouring like the rain coming down in my mind Red wine pouring like the rain knocks me down every time Not long ago I know we came face to face Took my hand and we'd go like Geronimo place to place It was gonna take its toal Cabernet to Night Train Red wine pouring like the rain coming down in my mind Red wine pouring like the rain gets me down every time Taking all that I need I believe that Ill leave you behind Cos the red wines going down easy And we're dying on the vine Although I know I should know by now I jump right in and go with the flow anyway anyhow Right to the mouth I roll Falling on a flame Red wine pouring like the rain coming down in my mind Red wine pouring like the rain knocks me down everytime Taking all that I need I believe that Ill leave you behind Cos the red wines going down easy And we're dying on the vine Well its last call in our story Its only transitory We never had a shot at forever We struck it like a readhead And shared a cigarette Burned it down together Red wine pouring like the rain coming down in my mind Red wine pouring like the rain knocks me down everytime Taking all that I need I believe that Ill leave you behind Cos the red wines going down easy And we're dying on the vine Cos the red wines going down easy And we're dying on the vine

All Known 03:32
How long must I know you How long must I care How long must I show you Theres nothing more to hide Inside No Secrets will be carried By anyone but us The bodies can be buried And noone will know Where they go Im all Known The cover and the whistle blown We chewed on fat for days Moved ourselves to song Time showed the way The guard comes down on a man With a battleplan Im all known The cover and the whistle blown Im all known The cover and the whistle blown Your skin of milk and honey Pour it on me only Work it into water Curling round the coffee in my cup Open up Open up Im all known The cover and the whistle blown Im all known The cover and the whistle blown

NYC in '77 And I late in '78 The fires burn but the lights are down still Come rifle through while I wait And take what you can carry Or break your back with greed Somebodys coming in by the bridges They got everything a poor boy needs Meet me halfway Meet me halfway 2-0 years in my own skin 2-0 more sold out to the bone Im too old now to run these streets down Too young to hole up in my home Meet me halfway Meet me halfway For all the ones that took a little something For all the time thats on my hands 4-0 more years if I keep my head down And if so youll know who I am Cos life breaks and in full cry we follow Why take the straight and narrow way Why take the path of least resistance And die by the circling birds of prey Meet me halfway Meet me halfway Meet me halfway Meet me halfway

Nineteen hundred and ninety five spread Out ahead like a wildfire In our heads our skin was shed With returning no burning desire We put away childish things, we were living on an old shoestring Put away those wedding rings till we tire Going to Sentry Hill, theres time we're gonna kill Untill we cant get much higher Hung around the mall, we've been kicked out of them all Why? Because we aint no buyers Thrown out of the bars and we aint got no cars Aint got the years or attire Too big for our roots, our britches and our boots Cut our teeth on barbed wire Going to Sentry Hill, theres time we're gonna kill Untill we cant get much higher How could we have known by the time we'd grown The weeds would take the land The fires all are gone and kids are moving on Got the world in the palm of their hands Going to Sentry Hill, theres time we're gonna kill Untill we cant get much higher Going to Sentry Hill, theres time we're gonna kill Untill we cant get much higher Going to Sentry Hill, theres time we're gonna kill Untill we cant get much higher Going to Sentry Hill, theres time we're gonna kill Untill we cant get much higher

I cant sleep Got miles ahead of me And Im on my knees Cos I cant sleep Out here the nights are long Out here the blinds are drawn On the sun and Blackbirds song Out here nights are long But Auroras sweeping in And still my mind it spins Flat-out and on the rims With Aurora sweeping in I cant sleep Got miles ahead of me And Im on my knees Cos I cant sleep Weary and far from home Precious minutes on the phone With kids that wont stop growing Im weary and far from home And my girl is in my head Cold and wide is my bed Come burn me up instead My girl is in my head I cant sleep Got miles ahead of me And Im on my knees Cos I cant sleep Im begging baby please Come put my mind at ease Cos I cant sleep No I cant sleep I cant sleep
