The Boys Are Back In Town
words & music by Phil Lynott
Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed that much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told 'em you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town again)
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she got
When I say she was cool she was red hot
I mean, she was steamin'
And that time over at Johnny's place,
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her
[CHORUS]
Spread the word around
Guess who JUST GOT back in town
Just spread the word around
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar 'n' Grill
The drink will flow and the blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till the summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
[CHORUS]

Hello from an emergency room in Hollywood
words & music by alex dezen & salim nourallah
i was having reservations about the state of our relationship
then i felt the palpitations and a wave of desperation hit
Hello, from an emergency room in Hollywood
Billy said he'd drive me ‘cause i was feeling kinda queasy bout all of it
doing 90 in a 30
it was just too easy how the words fell from your lips
Hello, from an emergency room in Hollywood
you said you'd call
yeah, you said you'd call me
well they threw me out for certain
in a robe of paper curtains with my ass hanging out of it
i was standing on the curb when
some guy poked me in the side and said “come on gimme your wallet!”
“i want all your money!"
i said "i don't have a dime..."
"Well then buddy you'll be sorry when i stick you with this knife"
Hello, it’s me again
Hello, won’t somebody listen to me
Hello, from an emergency room in Hollywood

I Sent A Postcard

i sent a postcard
words & music by salim nourallah
i sent a postcard from southern France
where i played in a pub but nobody danced
a guy in the back swore at me in French
Wreckless Eric almost hit him with a wooden bench
we sang songs so loud that we barely knew
i sang one that i’d made especially for you
a girl with an accent gave me the eye
in her smile there hid the promise of a different life
i sent you a postcard from Germany
where my son ate apples in an orchard happily
the breezy haired one with the childish grin
carried him on his shoulders easy as the wind
and i sent a postcard from Amsterdam
found the meaning of life in an open hand
i called collect from a hotel bar
i cried love is the reason, love is all we are
i sent a postcard from Mexico
where i laid on a beach with a tortured soul
i'd married a girl with no love for me
she left me there adrift on the cruelest sea
i sent these postcards address unknown
hoped they’d find an answer or a loving home
how could i know that they would all come to you?
you’re the person all along that i was writing to
you’re the person all along who i was writing to
all these postcards i sent, i sent for you

LOSE OR TAKE IT ALL
words & music by Billy Harvey
You didn't plan it,
trouble comes when it comes
You can't stand it,
but you would have never run
I know
that you already know who you are
You're a fighter
A Prize wire walker
Doesn't matter how far you fall
it's Lose or take it all
Loser take it all
Ut oh.
You didn't plan it,
trouble comes and it goes
But you can't stand it,
cause you already know what you know
You're a fighter
A Prize wire walker
Doesn't matter how far you fall
it's Lose or take it all
Loser take it all
Ut oh.

ballad of a patient man
words & music by alex dezen & salim nourallah
waiting as i get out of bed
put on some clothes, screw on my head
have a cup and go off to work
sit in a mess, drive like a jerk
i know i’m probably hopeless
but i’ll do whatever it takes ‘til you notice
i wait…i wait…i’m waiting for you
waiting as i sweep up the room, pick up my clothes,
try on some shoes
make some dinner, take out the trash,
send you a note, look for the cat
maybe you’re doing some laundry?
or dozing off in front of the TV?
i wait…i wait…i’m waiting for you
you think i’m probably crazy
but sometimes i can’t wait anymore
i wait…i wait…i wait…i wait…
waiting for you everyday, in every way
i’m gonna wait
waiting for you everyday, i wait and i wait,
i’m gonna wait

DEVIL’S DICE
words & music by Billy Harvey
Devil's dice devil's dice I'm gonna roll the devil's dice
Being bad sure feels nice I'm gonna roll the devil's dice
She's one tough cookie I am a son of a gun
She plays for keeps I play for fun
I heard somebody say that the good die young
I'm gonna do some livin' tonight
You might think that I move too fast
when she says yes I hear hell yeah
If you got the wheels I got the gas
gonna do some livin’ tonight
I was drinking tequila from a cowboy boot
the band was playing just as loud as they do
she said if you want to I want to too...
devil's dice devil's dice we're gonna roll the devil's dice
Being bad sure feels nice gonna roll the devil's dice
When I give her hell she lets me know
We can put on a show
We both win however it goes
devil's dice devil's dice we're gonna roll the devil's dice
Being bad sure feels nice gonna roll the devil's dice
Let's roll...

gimme a go
words by salim nourallah, alex dezen & martie maguire
music by salim nourallah with additional guitars by Kyle Crusham
follow you wherever you go, i’ll follow
follow you wherever you lead
follow you wherever you go, i’ll follow
follow you right into the sea
head so heavy i can barely stand
my body’s begging for me to sleep
has it been ten minutes, hours, weeks?
the time, well it don’t matter to me
straight up to heaven, heaven down below
straight up to heaven, straight to hell i know
straight up to heaven, straight to hell
so when you gonna give me a, when you gonna give me a go?
when you gonna give me a, when you gonna give me a go?
follow you through Summer, Fall & Winter
falling off the edge of the world
follow you wherever if we’re together
doesn’t matter how much it hurts
eyes so deep like the blackest sea
i’m drowning in this new way to breathe
skin like a hungry fire underneath me
i need you to be all that i need
straight up to heaven, heaven down below
straight up to heaven, straight to hell i know
straight up to heaven, straight to hell
so when you gonna give me a, when you gonna give me a go?
when you gonna give me a, when you gonna give me a go?
when you gonna give me a / when you gonna give me a
when you gonna give me a / when you gonna give me a a go?

Complicatedness
words & music by Billy Harvey
i did all the things to make me feel young
i did all the things to be did and be done i did all the things
i did all the things to help me feel good
i did all the things to be bad cause i could i did all the things
and if i say i will see you again sometimes again is only pretend
before i knew you i knew you were a mess
but i came to crave your complicatedness
i did all the fighting the fighting could do
i stood for my own i was only for you
the sky gets heavy with the words of man
and all of the things that we don't understand
so we pray to the shiva or budda or christ
there are so many ways to get your advice
i went to the mountain i hugged a few trees
sorry i was late but i lost my keys
before i knew you i knew you were a mess
but i came to crave your complicatedness
we don't have to try so hard
we don't have to try so hard
before i knew you i knew you were a mess
but i came to crave your complicatedness

Somebody Loves Me

Somebody Loves Me
words by Alex Dezen, Salim Nourallah & Billy Harvey
music by Alex Dezen
I live in a house in the middle of the street
No one comes to see me,
No not any day but I know
Somebody loves me
I work at a job seven days of the week
Who is my boss, some guy I never see
But I know
Somebody pays me
And now I watch the sun
Beating on the red Corvette that my neighbor bought
On the Internet
It sits there in the driveway
Shining like a diamond ring
I like to have a little fun
Sitting right here in my bed watching Dragnet
Listening to cassettes
That somebody gave me way back in the Navy
A big guy named Baby
I think he might be dead
I go to a church, it’s a little run down
I pray to a god that might be white or brown
I don’t know
But someone will save me
I go out to eat maybe three days a week
I wear sweatpants and the dollar menu’s cheap
And I know
Someone will feed me
And now I watch the sun
Beating on the red Corvette that my neighbor bought
On the Internet
It sits there in the driveway
Shining like a diamond ring
I like to have a little fun
Sitting right here in my bed watching Dragnet
Listening to cassettes
That somebody gave me way back in the Navy
A big guy named Baby
I think he might be dead
Someone will save me
Right
Someone will love me
I think it might be you
I go to a place and I sit on the couch
I tell them what’s wrong and they figure it out
And I know
These pills gonna fix me
I go to the bank, I run a red light
Cameras everywhere, even up in the sky
And I know
Someone will find me
And now I watch the sun
Beating on the red Corvette that my neighbor bought
On the Internet
It sits there in the driveway
Shining like a diamond ring
I like to have a little fun
Sitting right here in my bed watching Dragnet
Listening to cassettes
That somebody gave me way back in the Navy
A big guy named Baby
I think he might be dead
Come on, somebody save me
I know someone will love me
Someone will love me
Yeah
Someone will love me
I think it might be you

You're The Light

you’re the light
words & music by salim nourallah
turn on the TV
tales of hate, death, destruction, despair
survey the newspaper
the world's a disaster out there
chasing money, chasing fame, the power hungry & the vain
a shit parade of ever present grief
where's understanding?
where is the love & the peace?
you're the light
you're the light i seek
you're the light
you're the light i need
i drink the poison
you turn it in to sweet wine
i let the noise spill in
you silence it all with a smile
i am you & you are me & we are where we're meant to be sounds nice in theory
‘til reality
comes kicking at my door
but you'll be there waiting with me
there's so much darkness
threatening to close in all around
you are the spark that keeps the shadows out
you're the light
you're the light i seek
you're the light
you're the light i need
you're the light
you're the light i see
you're the light
you're the light i need

You Thought You'd Be In Heaven
words & music by Billy Harvey
You thought you'd be in heaven but you're not
You'll know when your dead that hell is too hot
You thought you'd be in heaven but you're not
Be nicer to the people that you know
Smile sometimes it's a better way to go
Be nicer to the people that you know
Today is forever and forever can be a spell
So make your own heaven or be a dick
and let your Heaven turn to hell
When you see my blinker please just let me in
If I get home first is that such a fucking sin
When you see my blinker please just let me in
Don't talk about somebody you don't know
Maybe have a conversation bout' somewhere you wanna go
But don't talk about that bitch that you don't know
Today is forever and forever can be a spell
So make your own heaven or be an asshole
and let your Heaven turn to hell
and be a better parent to your kids
Don't do the same things that your bad parents did
Just be a better parent to your kid
Of course there is no way to pass this test
We don't want to do our worst but if our worst is our best
Then you know you are no better than the rest
Today is forever and forever can be a spell
So make your own heaven or be a chump
and let your Heaven turn to hell
You thought you'd be in heaven but you're not
