15 Hands 03:11
I see your mad eyes and I'll count your fifteen hands And I hear you calling my name from the bleachers. Do you know where this rides gonna take us? To the last best place that I'll ever see? Do you carry the secrets of Mister J Solomon Rarey? Will you whisper them to me while I break your back. Do you know where this hides gonna take us? To the last best place that you'll ever see. He's no two bit Bobby dazzler, don't wear batwing chaps of steel. There's no sliver in his Spurs and no Cuban in his heels Just look at him go, he's Montana's toughest now. Tucker Zing, take a bow. Tucker Zing, take a bow. There's no call for Flint cause this wild thing is played. Don't need fashion tip toe I'll wear sneakers. Do you see where this rides gonna take us? To the last best place that we'll ever see. He's no two bit Bobby dazzler, don't wear batwing chaps of steel. There's no sliver in his Spurs and no Cuban in his heels Just look at him go, he's Montana's toughest now. Tucker Zing, take a bow. Tucker Zing, take a bow. Easy now Stay right there. You're Montana's toughest now. He's no two bit Bobby dazzler, don't wear batwing chaps of steel. There's no sliver in his Spurs and no Cuban in his heels Just look at him go, he's Montana's toughest now. Tucker Zing, take a bow. Tucker Zing, take a bow. (David Myers 2017)

Cold Cuts 03:17
I recall when this was all Drapers fields and I can't be the only one. Before the eye cast a shadow on the green that was sold and the sun faded fast on the stories we told. I recall when this was all Drapers fields and it was so much better then. Do Tom Baton and wife remember this too or were they never part of the scene? Do they knead the dough for their artisan loaf to serve gentrification and this partisan growth. Now I recall when this was all Drapers fields and it was so much better then. If I was brave I'd bake forcaccia with Mike. Slice cold cuts to order and serve. There'd be Fentemans for gentleman with a long drive ahead. And they're driving slow And they're driving slow Lets open a deli and be reasonably priced I wonder how hard can it be. I'll work the front of house and Johnny takes care of the prove. Can you hear a little love supreme, it aids the rise and groove. And we recall when this was all Drapers fields and it was so much better then. If I was brave I'd bake forcaccia with mike. Slice cold cuts to order and serve. There'd be Fentemans for gentleman with a long drive ahead. And they're driving slow And they're driving slow (David Myers 2017)

Goodnight Jimmy Rowe, you may not remember me. We met New Year's Eve and I stood you a drink or three. I didn't get to meet your wife and I never heard you sing Goodnight Jimmy Rowe, goodnight. He'd never hang his crombie on the coat stand in the snug. And didn't care for benefits of love and other drugs I never got to ask him why and I never held his hand Goodnight, Jimmy Rowe, goodnight. Goodnight, Jimmy Rowe, goodnight. Empty your pockets and glasses tonight and don't shed another tear. He was the last bastion of what I hold dear but he's gone. Empty your pockets and glasses tonight and we'll see another year Goodnight Jimmy Rowe, good night. I will pick up the pieces and arrange for return. You can keep all the good stuff but detritus can burn. I was never as brave or as beautiful as you. Good night Jimmy Rowe, good night. Empty your pockets and glasses tonight and don't shed another tear. He was the last bastion of what I hold dear but he's gone. Empty your pockets and glasses tonight and we'll see another year Goodnight Jimmy Rowe, good night. I hope you had fun but the damage is done. Good night, Jimmy Rowe, good night. Empty your pockets and glasses tonight and don't shed another tear. He was the last bastion of what I hold dear but he's gone. Empty your pockets and glasses tonight and we'll see another year Goodnight Jimmy Rowe, good night. Goodnight Jimmy Rowe, good night. (David Myers 2017)

How did we get here I swear I was winning, do you think you've the strength to move on? If we head to the coast I've got friends there, we can stay until they move us on. Your heart is good but your head's made of wood You've carved a us a groove that has got us both spinning. Do you think we can get back on track? Are we still turning heads as we take on the Broadway? Are we still chasing tails round the back? Your heart is good but your head's made of wood This isn't winning, not even close to the races. We lost our poker faces one night at Hudson Bay Then licked our wounds at the commodore rooms, the last night of our stay. The last night of our stay. We licked our wounds at the commodore rooms, the last night of our stay. I've nothing to fall back on so I'll rest on your frame and I'll dream of a warmer time. Before I got old and the cold took a hold, and before I swallowed your line. Your heart is good but your head's made of wood This isn't winning, not even close to the races. We lost our poker faces one night at Hudson Bay Then licked our wounds at the commodore rooms, the last night of our stay. The last night of our stay. We licked our wounds at the commodore rooms, the last night of our stay. Your heart is good but your head's made of wood. (David Myers 2017)

Barbosa get closer the angle is wrong. You know they will never forgive you? The Maracana is dead to you now You know that you'll never belong. The claw of Charrua shook the beautiful game, it was our time I've the gold piece to prove it. It broke my heart too but I play on. You'll always remember my name. Look at him, son. He's the man that made all of us cry. There were ten other men, but nobody's asking them why. Look at him son, he's the man that made all of us weep. Barbosa get closer and keep Barbosa get closer and keep I'll deal with these hands am I still safe in yours, when I've saved for the best years of you? Set fire to these sticks can I come home? Hear the wild applause Look at him, son. He's the man that made all of us cry. There were ten other men, but nobody's asking them why. Look at him son, he's the man that made all of us weep. Barbosa get closer and keep Barbosa get closer and keep (David Myers 2017)

There were rainbows in my mouth and I kept spiders in my hair We didn't care for watching clocks or entertain a double dare. We were the kings of Summer and life had just begun. Pour a pitcher of kiora that will never touch our sides Then sparks fly high from green-flash runners, laces are untied We were the kings of Summer and life had just begun. We were the kings of summer and we were better than the rest We would live for ever and the sun would never set We were the kings of summer, you must've heard us roar? We were the kings of summer and we never needed more. Will we just spin through these roundabout days? With you turning heads and me chasing tails. Catching the storm when the rains on parade. Cagoule like a parachute, diving from planes. Do you still run? Would it still be the same? Have you got the legs, do you remember my name? I was the king of Summer and life had just begun. I was the king of Summer and life had just begun. We were the kings of summer and we were better than the rest We would live for ever and the sun would never set We were the kings of summer, you must've heard us roar? We were the kings of summer and we never needed more. We were the kings of summer and we never needed more We never needed more We never needed more (David Myers 2017)

'65 Rioja 02:48
I found him with a treasure map in a joint in Spanish Spain He'd dance for tapas and for tongues with flamenco heels and pain Could I be so reckless? Would I dare to be so brave? Save yourselves I'm just a wreck this ship has run aground. There's nothing left for you to see You lost and I am found. Could I be so feckless? Would I dare to be so brave? If I'd stayed home with river bend there'd be no broken hearts to mend. Los Montesinos is where you moved and I fell in love with you. And I fell in love with you. You know how scared I am to fly Can't shake this cabin fever. And you know how much I love a lie Did I promise that I'd leave her? Could I be so reckless? Would I dare to be so brave? If I'd stayed home with river bend there'd be no broken hearts to mend. Los Montesinos is where you moved and I fell in love with you. And I feel in love with you. Was it the 65 Rioja, or the Thunderball inside his locker? Or was I ruffed up by the savage Spanish sun? If I'd stayed home with river bend there'd be no broken hearts to mend. Los Montesinos is where you moved and I fell in love with you. And I feel in love with you If I'd stayed home with river bend there'd be no broken hearts to mend. Los Montesinos is where you moved and I fell in love with you. And I feel in love with you. And I fell in love with you. (David Myers 2017)

Bigger Ships 02:48
They said the capitanos smile could brighten up the darkest eyes. The only time that he saw mine was the first day I was born. I'd marry twice, for love of course. Both will leave the means to set a course. In the tallest vessel I can build. I'm waiting on a storm. I'm waiting on a storm. Bouboulina brings the guns, the supper and the tricks Shes meaner than the seas and all of your hits. Laskarina Bouboulina, she's got bigger ships Where was your spine when we needed the oars? Now you find the strength to march on my door. Searching for lovers, mothers and sons. I was waiting on a storm I was waiting on a storm Bouboulina brings the guns, the supper and the tricks Shes meaner than the seas and all of your hits. Laskarina Bouboulina, she's got bigger ships Laskarina Bouboulina, she's got bigger A single shot is all it took Comnenus and the ottoman shook Remember when you tell, of the day that laskarina fell. Shes meaner than the seas and all of your hits Laskarina Bouboulina, she built bigger ships. Bouboulina brought the guns, the supper and the tricks. Laskarina Bouboulina, she's built bigger ships. Laskarina Bouboulina, she built bigger ships (David Myers 2017)

Isabella could tell a story that I'd heard a thousand times We'd go round the Gallows Corner, straight road without a sign She'd tell me they were beautiful and I know she loved them all Isabella had her favourites ones, but I know she loved them all. Tell me you remember this, you play it every time we kiss. Then remind me who I'm talking to and I'll tell you that you're beautiful. Isabella has her favourite ones, but I know she loves us all. Isabella has her favourite ones, but I know she loves us all. Is that vista still familiar from those Leopold Heights? Columbia scent hangs heavy in my soul tonight. Did you back this one trick pony cause I'm lonely here as hell. But I've nothing new to show you and there's no one left to tell. I've nothing new to show you and there's no one left to tell. These are different times for you but do we even care? Have you lived enough, did you to seen it all or does it burn too much to share? You told me he was beautiful, but I know you love them all. Isabella had her favourite one, but I know she loves them all. Is that vista still familiar from those Leopold Heights? Columbia scent hangs heavy in my soul tonight. Did you back this one trick pony because I'm lonely here as hell. I've nothing new to show you and there's no one left to tell. I've nothing new to show you and there's no one left to tell.

I'm happier with horses and with Captain and Tenille and I don't know what I'll do when this is done and we are through. I've been so negligent with mine can you manage all your time and do better with what you've got left? I'm longing for a New Year, the countdown and a gun. But I don't know why we're dancing when there's news of hit and run. So perfunctory with mine can you be bolder with your time and do better with all you've got left. Tired of the faces that I've grown. Tired of my company can't bear to be alone Left to my own devices the vices take a grip. I miss the boy I was when we first met. These are impossible times, my friend, and I don't know what we'll do when this all ends. I can see faces from Abigail's table but I cannot recall all the names. Maybes there's nothing in there for me now, at least nothing that I can sustain. I was so cursory with mine playing Lindsey all the time, can you do better with all you've got left. Tired of the faces that I've grown. Tired of my company can't bear to be alone Left to my own devices the vices take a grip. I miss the boy I was when we first met. These are impossible times, my friend, and I don't know what we'll do when this all ends. There's are impossible times, my friend and I don't know what we'll do when this all ends. I'm happier with horses and with captain and tennile and I don't know what we'll do when this is done (David Myers 2017)
