Carry that load
I'll help you carry that load
As we go through life
The ebb and the flow
The sun and the moon
The deep deep snow
I'll be right beside you to help you
Carry that load
Carry that load
Carry that load
Carry that load
Let me tell you why
It's not a rule
It's not a law
It's who we are
Upon this star
Come together
Hand in hand
Trying to do
The best we can
Carry that load
Carry that load
As we go through life
The edge of the night
The cut of the jib
You know we all gotta live
The sun and moon
I'll help you
Carry That load
Carry that load
Come together
Hand in hand
We're all doing
The best we can
Carry that load
Carry that load
As we go through life
The trouble and strife
The ebb and flow
The deep deep snow
I know you'll all be there to help me
Carry that load
Carry that load
Let me tell you why
It's not a rule
It's not a law
It's who we are
Upon this star
Come together
Hand in hand
Trying to do
The best we can
Carry that load

How do we get to this new world? Who do we have to overcome or conquer? We don’t have to overcome or conquer anybody, all we have to do is what a lot of the world is already doing, right now, marching in a …

My Tears
04:58
|

V 1
Could’a been right could’a been wrong
Could’a been weak could’a been strong
Could’a been false but it sure rang true
Now what’s a poor boy like me to do
Cause my tears fall like a rain
Cause my tears fall like a rain
Cause my tears fall like a rain
But they don’t bring her back again
Ch
All my tears
I cried so many tears
They don’t bring her back
They don’t bring her back to me
V2
Could’a been good could’a been bad
She could’a been happy she could’a been sad
And she could be here with me right now
Not somewhere else so far away
Cause my tears fall like a rain
Cause my tears fall like a rain
Cause my tears fall like a rain
But they don’t bring her back again
Ch
All my tears
I cried so many tears
They don’t bring her back
They don’t bring her back to me
V3
We could’a been this we could’a been that
She could’a been anybody but she had to be her
I loved her more than I could bear
Her voice the scent of her hair
Cause my tears fall like a rain
Cause my tears fall like a rain
Cause my tears fall like a rain
But they don’t bring her back again
Ch
All my tears
I cried so many tears
They don’t bring her back
They don’t bring her back to me
V4
Could’a been here could’a been there
We went off the track
Now all my weeping and wailing
It won’t bring her back
Cause my tears fall like a rain
Cause my tears fall like a rain
Cause my tears fall like a rain
But they don’t bring her back again
Ch
All my tears
I cried so many tears
They don’t bring her back
They don’t bring her back to me

Wishing I belonged
Let me in
I need you

Billable Hours
04:36

V1
She's my angel of the evening
I can see the starlight through her eyes
And you know I found paradise
Right between her thighs
But she sings
Ch
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
V2
She’s my angel of the evening
You know I love her so
And that’s why I give her
All of my dough
but she sings
Ch
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
Visa or cash will do
I’ll even take a cheque from you
Cause you really want a taste of honey
And I really want your money
V3
She’s my angel of the evening
She’s the light of my life
And if she’d let me
I‘d make her my wife
but she sings
Ch
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
V4
She’s my angel of the evening
She’s everything of beauty
And she don’t need me
She don’t love me
but she sings
Ch
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
Visa or cash will do
I’ll even take a cheque from you

And I really want your money
Hey buddy, you owe me two hundred for the hour
Hey buddy
Two hundred bucks…
What`ya think this is
Love
V5
She`s my the client of the hour
Up in this office tower
I’m gonna smile and shake her hand
But she’ll never know where I really stand
Ch
She`s just a billable hour
She`s just a billable hour
She`s just a billable hour
She`s just a billable hour
V6
Her parents died
And left her alone
And now I‘ve got power of attorney
I’m taking her her on a real dark journey
Ch
She`s just a billable hour
She`s just a billable hour
She`s just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
Visa or cash will do
I’ll even take a cheque from you
It’s not about right and it`s not about wrong
You are weak and I am strong
Hey, you owe me
I`ve got invoices here
You`ve got to pay
And pay
I`m gonna take it all

Coming down from Lake Cowichan
It's October 10 and the moon is full and
The air is clear and bright
We just passed a cop
We won't see another one
The lights of Cowichan Bay are twinkling in the distance
She reaches into the glove and pulls out an 8 track
Hendrix Electric Ladyland
And everybody laughs
She reaches into the glove again
And everybody laughs again
The trees are silver in the moonlight
The clouds and mountains in the distance
My foot is pressing down on the gas
and were going faster and faster
And then the speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
Heading north out of Toronto on the 40I
Its October 3
The moon is full the air is clear
4 lanes straight ahead empty
We just passed a cop
We won't see another
She reaches in to the glove and pulls out a cd
Hendrix Electric Ladyland
And everybody laughs
She reaches into the glove again
And everybody laughs again
Those old farmhouses and telephone poles
And trees are just flying by
My foot's pressing down harder and harder
And we're going faster and faster and faster
And then the speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
Heading up to the crest
Used all 21 gears
Skaha Lake below so turquoise
I coast to a stop just past
Trees are so green
Air is so warm
I reach down to my I Pod put on Hendrix
Electric Ladyland
Realize everybody else is doing the same
We all laugh
I push off with one foot
Gravity grabs me
Starts to pull me down that hill
The scent of all those hot grasses and trees and the sky so blue
trees are going by
Trees are going by faster and faster and faster
And then the speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
The speed kicks in

I cant believe it
Such a shame
But right now I've got to go down pick up my new SUV
Its a real nice one we've got two like it already
Then were going to fly down to the tropics for the winter
I know this whole climate change thing is some kinda scene going on But we don't have any time to care of that
We're too busy
Somebody else will have to take care of that
It's not my problem cause I'm in the
Suicide Death Club

Ch
Hold on through rising water
Hold on with tired hands
Hold on through the darkness
Hold on until the dawn
V1
You’ve been in worse places before
You’ve taken the bad and the good
I know you’re not made of iron
I’m just hoping that you can…
Ch
Hold on through rising water
Hold on with tired hands
Hold on through the darkness
Hold on until the dawn
V2
Soon you`ll be high and dry
Sitting there with everything good
All you have to do is one thing
All you need to do is…
Ch
Hold on through rising water
Hold on with tired hands
Hold on through the darkness
Hold on until the dawn
V3
Maybe think of days gone by
Maybe sing a simple song
Maybe think about their love
And find the strength to go on
Ch
Hold on through rising water
Hold on with tired hands
Hold on through the darkness
Hold on until the dawn
V4
Right now you`re all alone
In danger and far from home
We`re all hoping for you
We`re all hoping that you can
Ch
Hold on through rising water
Hold on with tired hands
Hold on through the darkness
Here comes the dawn

The Universe Song
04:02
|

Why won't the universe take my advice
To lighten up and be more nice
Give everybody a break or two
What would it hurt?
Why won't the universe listen to reason
Try to be a little more pleasing
Tell more stories with happier ending
With all the sad bits gone?
Why won't the universe have a meeting
To discuss how I'm feeling
We could have coffee and doughnuts
I could draw some graphs.
Why won't the universe answer my letters
With great ideas for getting better
Listing all the things if could do
To help us out?
Why won't the universe have some pity
Make me just a little more pretty
Then I would get all the respect I deserve
Because I'd look so good?
Why won't the universe make me a winner
I'd even take it out to dinner
I'd let everyone have seconds
That they could take home and share.
I mean, seriously when you think about it, why can't sleeping in be the best exercise ever, and chocolate should be reverse calories and sex should cure cancer, why not universe' why not?
Sun and moon don't seem to care
World keeps turning through the air
But the universe ain't so big that it can't
change its mind.
