    letra de Why Aye Man

    "WHY AYE MAN"

    We had no way of staying afloat,
    We had to leave on a ferryboat.
    Economic refugees,
    On the run to Germany.
    We had the back of Maggie's hand,
    Times were tough in Geordieland.
    We got our tools and working gear
    And humped it all from Newcastle to here.

    Why aye man.
    Why aye, why aye man.
    Why aye man,
    Why aye, why aye man.
    Why aye man.
    Why aye, why aye man.
    Why aye man,
    Why aye, why aye man.

    We're nomad tribes, travelling boys,
    In the dust and dirt and the wrecking noise.
    Drills and hammers, diggers and picks,
    Mixing concrete, laying bricks.
    There's English, Irish, Scots, the lot.
    United Nations what we got.
    Brickies, chippies, every trade.
    German building, British made.

    Why aye man.
    Why aye, why aye man.
    Why aye man,
    Why aye, why aye man.
    Why aye man.
    Why aye, why aye man.
    Why aye man,
    Why aye, why aye man.

    Nay more work on Maggie's farm.
    Haddaway down the autobahn.
    Mine's a Portakabin bed,
    Or a bunk in a Nissen hut instead.

    There's plenty Deutschmarks here to earn.
    And German tarts are wunderschön.
    German beer is chemical free.
    Germany's alright with me.
    Sometimes I miss my river Tyne,
    But you're my pretty fräulein.
    Tonight we'll drink the old town dry,
    Keep our spirit levels high.

    Why aye man.
    Why aye, why aye man.
    Why aye man,
    Why aye, why aye man.
    Why aye man.
    Why aye, why aye man.
    Why aye man,
    Why aye, why aye man.

    Sometimes I miss my river Tyne,
    But you're my pretty fräulein.
    Tonight we'll drink the old town dry,
    Keep wor spirit levels high.

    Sometimes I miss my river Tyne,
    But you're my pretty fräulein.
    Tonight we'll drink the old town dry,
    Keep wor spirit levels high.

    letra de Devil Baby

    The freaks'll stay together
    They're a tight old crew
    You look at them
    And they look at you
    I love the ballyhoo girl
    But she don't care
    It's hard to find love anywhere
    Hard to find love anywhere

    The professor is the talker
    He's the talking man
    And if he can't clean a midway
    Nobody can
    He'll get the tip on in
    From the midway mud
    You gotta have the sawdust in the blood
    Gotta have the sawdust in the blood

    See the pig-faced man and the monkey girl
    Come see the big fat lady
    'Gator slim with the alligator skin
    Come see the devil baby

    Springer is the talker
    He's the talking man
    He's got the whole studio
    Eating out of his hand
    You can be on too
    With the nuts and the geeks
    Call 1-800-Ima freak
    1-800-Ima freak

    Be the pig-faced man or the monkey girl
    Come be the big fat lady
    'Gator slim with the alligator skin
    Come be the devil baby

    Be the pig-faced man or the monkey girl
    Come be the big fat lady
    'Gator slim with the alligator skin
    Come be the devil baby

    letra de A Place Where We Used To Live

    This empty kitchen's where
    I'd while away the hours
    Just next to my old chair
    You'd usually have some flowers
    The shelves of books
    Even the picture hooks
    Everything is gone
    But my heart is hanging on

    If this old neighbourhood
    Survived us both alright
    Don't know that it withstood
    All the things that took our light
    You on the stair
    I can see you there
    Everything is gone
    But my heart is hanging on

    Once there was a little girl
    Used to wonder what she would be
    Went out into the big wide world
    Now she's just a memory
    There used to be a little school here
    Where I learned to write my name
    But time has been a little cruel here
    Time has no shame

    It's just a place where
    We used to live
    It's just a place where
    We used to live

    Now in another town
    You lead another life
    And now upstairs and down
    You're someone else's wife
    Here in the dust
    There's not a trace of us
    Everything is gone
    But my heart is hanging on

    It's just a place where
    We used to live
    It's just a place where
    We used to live

    letra de Quality Shoe

    You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
    (And a) Hard-wearing sole and heel
    Make those tired feet feel like new
    Take your pick, black or brown
    Great for the country or the man in town
    You're gonna need a quality shoe

    You don't want no stand-by pair
    Cause these'll take the wear and tear
    Made to take good care of you
    For that trip by road or rail
    For extra grip on those rocky trails
    You're gonna need a quality shoe

    Now they maybe ain't too hot for dancing
    But I don't foresee too much of that
    You ain't exactly gonna be prancing
    Around in the moonlight
    With a cane and a top hat

    If you could use a change of pace
    And be excused from the rat race
    Just take a look at what's on view
    Lace 'em up, walk around
    I guarantee you can't wear 'em down
    You're gonna need a quality shoe

    Now I wish you sunny skies
    And happiness wherever you may go
    But you got to realise
    There'll be wind, there'll be rain
    And occasional snow

    You're gonna want to smile in them
    If you're gonna walk a mile in them
    There'll be times when you'll be blue
    To laugh at rainy days and then
    Make your getaways in them
    You're gonna need a quality shoe

    You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
    (You got your) Hard-wearing sole and heel
    Make those tired feet feel like new
    Take your pick, black or brown
    Great for the country or the man in town
    You're gonna need a quality shoe

    letra de Fare Thee Well Northumberland

    Come drive me down to the central station
    I hate to leave my river Tyne
    For some dawn town that's God-forsaken
    Fare thee well, Northumberland
    Although I'll go where the lady takes me
    She'll never tell what's in her hand
    I do not know what fate awaits me
    Fare thee well, Northumberland

    My heart beats for my streets and alley
    Longs to Dwell in the borderlands
    The North-East shore and the river valleys
    Fare thee well Northumberland
    I may not stay, I'm bound for leaving
    I'm bound to ramble and to roam
    I only say my heart is grieving
    I would not gamble on my coming home

    Roll on, Geordie boy, roll
    Roll on, Geordie boy, roll
    Roll on, Geordie boy, roll
    Roll on, Geordie boy, roll

    So drive me down to the central station
    I hate to leave my river Tyne
    For some dawn town that's God-forsaken
    Goodbye old friend of mine
    Although I'll go where the lady takes me
    She'll never tell what's in her hand
    I do not know what fate awaits me
    Fare thee well, Northumberland

    So roll on, Geordie boy, roll
    Roll on, Geordie boy, roll
    Roll on, Geordie boy, roll
    Roll on, Geordie boy, roll

    letra de Marbletown

    Roll out here mister
    If you need a little rest
    Lay me down in Marbletown
    A bone yard is the best

    There was a bad bull on the railroad
    Tried to pull me off this train
    Lay me down in Marbletown
    'Til the coast is clear again

    I can hear them a-hollerin'
    'We got a man down here
    We got a man down'

    I'm gonna flip me a cannonball
    That won't stop for anyone
    Lay me down in Marbletown
    Wait 'til morning comes

    I'm gonna roll out here in the tombstones
    Wait here on my train
    Lay me down in Marbletown
    I hope that it don't rain

    And I can still hear them hollerin'
    'We got a man down here
    We got a man down'

    Roll out here mister
    If you need a little rest
    Lay me down in Marbletown
    A bone yard is the best

    letra de Coyote

    Look at me Coyote
    Don't let a little road dust put you off
    You can't judge a book
    Well you know that stuff
    There's a tear in my upholstery
    And a hole in my shoe
    But don't you just wish that you could
    Make half of the speed I do
    Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

    You can't catch me Coyote
    Though there may be blood on the tracks
    There may be some bridges burning
    Behind our backs
    But I got my laundry on the backseat
    And an itinerary too
    And don't you just wish that you could
    Make half of the speed I do
    Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
    Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

    Now I'm a speck on your horizon
    Getting smaller fast
    An ambush wouldn't be surprising
    I hope it's better than your last

    Once again the roadrunner
    Leaves the coyote in the dust
    You've got another plan of action
    But we all know it ain't never gonna work
    It must be hard having dog dreams
    That never come true
    And don't you just wish that you could
    Make half of the speed I do
    Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
    Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

  12. Old PigweedVer letra 4:34

    [X]

    letra de Old Pigweed

    Everything was in there
    That you'd want to see
    Corned beef and onions
    And true love
    Turnips and tinned tomatoes
    Parsnips and A few potatoes
    A couple extra blessings
    From above

    Now this here mingle-Mangle
    Was my best one yet
    A big old bad goulash
    Worth waiting for
    And I'm just about to dip my can
    Taste some brotherhood of man
    When I get A feeling
    That there's A flaw

    Who put old pigweed
    In the mulligan
    Was it you
    Who put old pigweed
    In the mulligan stew
    I close my eyes
    For just A minute
    What do you do
    Who put old pigweed
    In the mulligan stew

    You won't find self-Improvement or philosophy
    In A dumpster sitting by
    The kitchen door
    There's plenty leek and humble pie
    Ain't too much ham on rye
    Sometimes I wonder
    What I'm looking for

    But A spoonful of forgiveness
    Goes A long, long way
    And we all should do our best
    To get along
    Add A pinch of kindness crumbling
    To your loving dumpling
    Okra for thickening
    When something's wrong

    But who put old pigweed
    In the mulligan
    Was it you
    Who put old pigweed
    In the mulligan stew
    I close my eyes
    For just A minute
    What do you do
    Who put old pigweed
    In the mulligan stew
