Shotgun 03:13
Shotgun Billy was on the run he ran towards me with his gun He said ‘Hey man, I’m gunna shoot you down’ So I buried his head between the ground So I made a skull cap from his bones Now nobody comes near my home Cause billy’s head was never found now I’m the big bad ass in town Shotgun Now don’t you ever mess with me Or fuck with my family Cause there aint a battle I haven’t won I said ‘Baby... you better run run run’ Shotgun

Last time I saw you was before You took off all of your clothes And then you told me to close the door And I did as I was told The same time you put your number in my phone Secretly thinking ‘I don’t want to go home’ And now you’re thinking what’s in store That we haven’t thought of before There is so little time to explore The possibilities Maybe there is only one Hold me until we see the sun
3.
These blackened hearts of ours they do provide A sip of gin like turpentine A cigarette between your crusty lips And coffee stains between the blinds There is no lemon only lime And people on TV do lines all the time Cause one fine day not long ago I wanted to stay but she wanted me to go Now we talk on the telephone I want to go home but dont know where to go You hit your highs and you hit your lows Close your eyes and away it goes Another year has passed just sitting here on my arse It feel like a good kick in the pants Where does all the good time a go go baby? When I'm not with my good time girl? The whiskey here if not at all Is worth its price paid full in gold To put my heart up on a shelf When Im feeling sorry for myself You hit your highs and you hit your lows Close your eyes and away it goes Another year has passed just sitting here on my arse It feel like a good kick in the pants Where does all the good time a go go baby? When I'm not with my good time girl?

I spent my life buried on the couch I did my time but the house went south For all the reasons you became you Now you cant tell me what to do I spent my life buried on the couch There is no food for my mouth That seems to say that its hungry Half the time these days I cant stay awake
5.
I left the snake and the girl, and I’m trying To make some sense of it all, but I’m lying Her heart was made out of Gold or so I’ve been told In a cruel and unusual world you’re out on your own I tried to step out of line – but she fired me I tried to waste all her time – but she scorned me Her heart was made out of Gold or so I’ve been told In a cruel and unusual world you’re out on your own I tried to step out of line – but she fired me I tried to waste all her time – but she scorned me We went out in flames to the sound of her name Calling out in the rain
6.
Midnight 03:06
Midnight under the street lights Some things don’t feel right- Now that you left me behind Hold me just like you now me And lose control Like you done before Well it’s so plain to see That she don’t like me And it would be nice If you treat me right Open my chest and carve your Name on my heart Just to leave your mark Corner store your begging me for more Just give me something good to carry me through my day Well its so plain to see That she don’t like me And it would be nice If you treat me right My midnight girl Midnight girl dont lose control like you done before Starlight fades into the dark night Just like a satellite falling out of the sky Hold me just like you know me and lose control - like you done before Well its so plain to see That she don’t like me And it would be nice If you treat me right My midnight girl My midnight girl dont lose control like you done before
7.
The Devil is here and there's something in the air But you keep on spilling your guts like you just dont fucking care I would rather cross my heart and close my eyes Cause loving you it felt like such a dream but I could sleep through anything 'Crystal Candy Coated lies' dont make me a fool If you feed my mouth with Turpentine I’ll sing a song for you Well I lost a certain something I suppose When I stuck that shit straight up my nose Cause loving you it felt like such a dream but I could sleep through anything Cross my heart and hope to die dont make me a fool If you bleed my mouth with turpentine I'll sing a song for you Well its alright and thats ok dont need no words anyway If you feed my mouth with turpentine I’ll sing a song for you

Tow the Line 02:28
Bring on the pain cause all feelings feel the same So ride that lonesome train with no complaints Its 6am we found you face down on the floor But who's keeping score? This is war and there's always more Watch your life pass you by with that vacant stare there in your eyes And all we can do is tow the line, so we tow the line
9.
Flow like a butterfly sting like a bee Oh baby whatcha doing to me? I use to talk the talk before I walk the walk But then you stuck me in the eye with a plastic fork and I said no and she said yes and then she punched me in the head punched me in the head Its so plain to see well she dont like me Oh - I tried to give her everything I said 'It would be nice if you treat me right' But then she slapped me in the face with a carving knife and I said no and she said yes and then she punched me in the head punched me in the head Well diamond rings and all of those things that are said to make people happy Dont mean a thing when you spread your wings and take off all of your clothes Cause there's something to be said about a kick in the head When you feel the way I do Who would have thought that I would miss you? So I flowed like a butterfly and stung like a bee oh Just to make her smile and laugh out loud But the jokes on me - Apparently There aint no hope for me There aint no hope for me Cause said no and she said yes and then she punched me in the head punched me in the head punched me in the head
