A Busker’s Paradise
03:04

Flew to the island of Gran Canaria
To try and play through the winter there
Where the sun never stops to shine
You can always find the tourists there
And I swear this is busking heaven
Plenty of pitches all around
Police might stop you from time to time
But there is always another pitch to be found
There’s a place upon the mountain
In the distance you can hear the sea
When my day comes to be gone
Scatter my ashes there
Scatter my ashes there
You can scatter my ashes and set me free

Stuff’s gonna bust your brain down baby
Gonna make you lose your mind

Break it down on me
Baby please stop breaking down
Baby please stop breaking down

You don’t do nothing but
Tear my reputation down
Tear my reputation down

Paint Me A Picture

I gave you the greatest of teachers
so you'd have everything you needed
I gave you a full palette of emotions
Now go and paint me a picture
There should be shadows there should be light
paint me a story to remember
don't hold back and don't be afraid
I will catch you if you fall
I will catch you if you fall
I gave you the moon, I gave you the sun
I gave you mountains and valleys
enjoy the ride it's all just for you
I will catch you if you
I will catch you if you
I will catch you if you fall

In Awe

Well, I’m in awe of all the people
Who live only to serve others
They live only to serve others
They do not rest
They never doubt
They don’t waste a second of their time
And they live only to serve others
Well, I’m in awe of all the mothers
Who are trying to save their children
They are trying to save their children
They’ll walk for days
They never sleep
They’ll go without food or water
And they are trying to save their children
Well, I’m in awe of all the children
Coz they got nothing to eat
And they still manage a smile
They’ve got no food
They’ve got no shelter
They’ve got no father or mother
And they still
Still
They manage a smile

My strength is fading
Soon I’ll be just a shell of a man
Yeah, my strength is fading
Soon I’ll be nothing but a shell of a man
You’re gonna want me when I’m too old
But you don’t want me when I still can
You I love you dearly
But you know I can’t be with you
You I love you dearly
But you know I can’t be with you
When you show me any affection
All I wanna do is make love to you
Bye bye baby, you know I wish you well
Bye bye baby, you know I wish you well
The man who loves you dearly
Might come back when he’s just a shell
The man who loves you dearly
Might come back when he’s just a shell
When he’s just a shell
When he’s just a shell

You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try some time
You get what you need
Oh, you can’t always get what you want
You know you can’t always get what you want
But if you try some time
You might get what you need
You might get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
She was well versed in the art of deception
I could tell by her blood-stained hands
You can’t always get what you want
You know you can’t always get what you want
But if you try some time
You might find
You get what you need
You get what you need
We went down to the demonstration
To get our fair share of abuse
We were singing, we’re gonna vent our frustration
And if we can’t, we’re gonna blow a fifty amp fuse
A fifty amp fuse
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
If you try some time
You get what you need

I ask of you this question
Won’t you help me if you can
Does anybody know the answer to
‘What is the soul of a man?’
I came upon a standing crowd
People of the learned kind
Doctors and lawyers, they were telling me
How man is just his mind
So I ask of you this question
Won’t you help me if you can
Does anybody know the answer to
‘What is the soul of a man?’
‘What is the soul of a man?’
Jesus stood in the temple
People were amazed
He was showing the doctors and the lawyers
How to raise a man from the grave
So I ask of you this question
Won’t you help me if you can
Does anybody know the answer to
Does anybody know the answer to
‘What is the soul of a man?’
What is the soul of a man?
What is the soul of a man?

Howl At The Moon
03:58
|

|
Well it’s time to hit the road again
Howl at the moon in a different land
Who can say, if I’m running away
Or what it is I’m still looking for
I know it might seem like a hard life.
I tell you now that I feel at peace
How I tried to buckle down somewhere
Comes a time when I need to leave
And I howl at the moon, I
Howl at the moon, I
Hear me howl at the moon
yeah, I howl at the moon
I howl at the moon, I
Hear me howl at the moon
You know, I never felt I was of this world
I howl at the moon coz I don’t belong
And maybe there’s a heaven and maybe there’s a god
And maybe he’ll call me home soon
And I howl at the moon, I
Howl at the moon, I
Hear me howl at the moon

Sixteen Tons
03:38
|
|||
|
Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man’s made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood, skin and bones
And a mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong
You load sixteen tons
What do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me coz I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one morning and the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
And the straw-boss said, ‘well bless my soul’
You load sixteen tons
What do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me coz I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me coming better step aside
A lotta men didn’t, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, another steel
And if the right one don’t can get you
Then the left one will
You load sixteen tons
What do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me coz I can’t go
I owe my soul, I owe my soul
I owe my soul to….
The company store

I wish that you were mine
Wish that you were mine
All of the time

(Vamo’ a ver)
On the evening of my time
I received a precious gift
She aligned with my mind
Connected with my heart
Will you join me for a while
As I travel round the world
As I travel round the world
The burden is now shared
Joys are magnify
All the joys are magnified
On the evening of my time
I received a precious gift
I received a precious gift
I received a precious gift
Will you join me for a while
Will you join me for a while
Will you join me for a while
As I travel round the world
As I travel round the world
As I travel round the world

As has (rightfully) already been said elsewhere, this band and album are "absolute fire." Despite the doom-gloom cover art, this type of rock music is a positive force. Especially without vocals, which for me is a bonus.
