Here Goes Something

Here goes somethin’
with my head still buzzin’
It might not be much
but at least its not nothin’
my legs have all been broke
and healed back up, I hope
So here goes something, here goes something, here goes something
you’re looking well
as far as I can tell
I don’t know your name, your face, or age
I can hardly see a thing up on this stage
but these songs wont sing themselves
and I can’t be no one else
so here goes something, here goes something, here goes something
It goes something a little like this
and maybe a little something like that
If I told you that I knew, I’d be bluffin’
so here goes something, here goes something, here goes something
I perform all day
to entertain my blues away
theres not much that I know
but the truth is in the show
I just want to be sincere
so glad to be in insert your town name
here
goes
something
here goes something
Here goes something a little like this
and maybe a little something like that
If I told you that I knew, I’d be bluffin’
so here goes something, here goes something, here goes something
We’ll laugh and we’ll cry
we’ll dance till the morning brings her light
You make feel so high
but one day we will die
but that days not tonight
probably
Here goes something

Binge Livin'

I want to throw the hashtags in trash bags
all the selfies can go to hell
I want out of a pixelated age
start drinking from a different well
I’ve got drugs to get me through the weekend
and the week that’s coming around
too much to consume
there’s not enough room
binge livin’ really got me down
take a picture of a post you got in a text
from a friend who got it off your page
get your news from a dude who flunked out of school
between tenth and eleventh grade
like or dislike
accept or decline
is our world so black and white?
wrong or right
ill be scrolling all night
till the dark turns into the light
I want to throw the hashtags in trash bags
all the selfies can go to hell
I want out of a pixelated age
start drinking from a different well
I’ve got drugs to get me through the weekend
and the week that’s coming around
too much to consume
there’s not enough room
binge livin’ really got me down
Eatin’, drinkin’, smoking’ slackin’ off too much
for me to get my shit straight
useless information gives my brain a vacation
just a little time to escape
if you follow someone online its okay
but in real life you go to jail
kickstart a go fund me page
and see how long it takes to pay your bail
I want to throw the hashtags in trash bags
all the selfies can go to hell
I want out of a pixelated age
start drinking from a different well
I’ve got drugs to get me through the weekend
and the week that’s coming around
too much to consume
there’s not enough room
binge livin’ really got me down
too much to consume
there’s not enough room
binge livin’ really got me down
binge livin’ really got me down
Oh, binge livin’ such a wonderful way to be
oh, I watch the latest movies from my cellphone on my tv
oh, I watched six seasons of ten shows in a row
I saw it all on my cellphone

Flow Like a River
05:00
|
|||
hanging in the balance
on an out-of-tune tight rope
surfing a tidal wave of infinite unknowing
got me feeling like a dope
Dealing hypotheticals
I’ll flow like a river
reflect like a mirror
respond like an echo
something inside me waiting to find me
a way into my way without
will I catch a ray of sunshine today?
or will I hide my head in a cloud?
dealing hypotheticals
when the dealers blind I fold
I’ll flow like a river
reflect like a mirror
respond like an echo
the unavoidable sadness
when things are going well
I overuse being enthused
fake it till you make it
wish I didn’t have to choose
I’m always who I want to be but never who I am
I’m a sophisticated catastrophist
a self fulfilling prophet
self conscious narcissist
I’d like to return the reward for my risk
I need a list for all my lists
But you can’t have your tocks without your ticks
I’ll flow like a river
reflect like a mirror
respond like an echo
the unavoidable sadness
when things are going well
I’ll flow like a river
reflect like a mirror
and respond
when things are going well

Maggie Muldoon

|

go past the virgin mary out in the County Kerry
theres a bar with a band to dance
the lads will have their craic
theres Mickey, Mike, and Mac
Pat O'Keefe and Edmond Henehan
but out of all the pals and pints, all of which I like
they ain't the ones who’s on my mind
oh, Maggie! Maggie Muldoon
could make the strongest sailor swoon
the men of Mayo never stood a chance
Galway gals really get me going
Wesport women want and want and want
and the Tourmekady ladies sure can turn me crazy
theres Aoife, Moira, Shailagh and Siohban
but theres only one road that leads to my heart
and theres only one love who knows to tar it
oh, Maggie! Maggie Muldoon
could make the strongest sailor swoon
the men of Mayo never stood a chance
Maggie would pull the cart around
to feed the children of Gloughntown
then we'd stay uo all night
make a deadman think he was alive

Please Leave Me
05:23
|
|||
take your time and decide what to do with me
but make up your mind
and if you decide
that you’re through with me
I’ll be fine if you choose to leave
but I’m done trying to find
the answers in your eyes
Sorry’s not an answer
at least when it’s coming from you
now I’m the one who feels like its done
it’s not the way that I want it to be
so please leave me
I said please leave me
I’d left you but you didn’t know
I didn’t love you but I couldn’t be leading you on
for so long, If wasn’t leading on myself
If don’t pick up the phone
I didn’t love you but I couldn’t be leading you on
for so long, If wasn’t already leading on myself
take your time and decide what to do with me
but make up your mind
and if you decide
that you’re through with me
I’ll be fine if you choose to leave
but I’m done trying
Sorry’s not an answer
at least when it’s coming from you
now I’m the one who feels like its done
it’s not the way that I want it to be
so please leave me
I said please leave me
I’d left you but you didn’t know
I didn’t love you but I couldn’t be leading you on
for so long, If wasn’t leading on myself
If don’t pick up the phone
I didn’t love you but I couldn’t be leading you on
for so long, If wasn’t already leading on myself

Crooked Hole
06:48
|

Let me tell you
an old tale of this town
cursed upon birth left in the woods to die
bloodshot eyes, gruesome teeth and twisted spine
the wolves wouldn’t raise such a beast
And the children all around knew their bones would be his feast
locked in and loaded with their pitchforks and their torches
I led a hateful hoard into the night
with children fast asleep
probably having scary dreams
their parents headed off to fight
the hounds did howl as the sniffed out his tracks
and we traced him back to a decrepit little shack
and our anger spewed out as we shout
give yourself up you god forsaken animal
give yourself up and you won’t have to die slow
theres no use in hiding now
far too long you’ve terrorized this town
bring the shackles and they’ll hold
the one we know as crooked hole
if you hear me
would you kindly drop that key
i know you’re far to old to believe
I’m the monster they made me out to be
but its true that theirs evil beyond those trees
I’ve seen shadows drag their men to hell
winged creatures casting wicked spells
I guard the demons gate, and you know i guard it well
so you’d be wise to let me go
not another word was spoke
the locks on his cell must have up and broke
now the children will always know
to stay away from crooked hole

Fixin' to Fly
06:12
|
|||
I’m working on a building each and everyday
I’m spreading myself thin but I can’t complain
I’m wading in the water where tiptoes can’t touch
Just where I’m supposed to be, dip my head underneath
Im working on a building
wading in the water
fixing to fly a steam powered plane
howling at the moon
crazy as a loon
I’d fly right through the trees, past mountains, scatter clouds
Burn my wings on the sun, oh don’t it sound like fun
in between being free an holding it together
A place called home could help us brave the stormy weather
I’ll work that building til it crumbles to the ground
Though it’s not my own, I’d like to help it grow
Just throw my coal upon that same old train
Never for the glory, just for the game
Im working on a building
wading in the water
fixing to fly a steam powered plane
howling at the moon
crazy as a loon

Let's Be Alone Together
03:59
|
|||
you wanna hear a comfort song
something we can all sing along to
I think I forgot the words
so I’ll try my best to not sound sad
lets be alone together
theres not much else we can do
I can’t know you
you can’t know me
so lets quit trying knowing
and lets be alone together
There’s not really an answer
I won’t try and make one
I just want you to know
I’ve been feeling real fucking alone
so lets feel alone together
theres not much else we can do
I can’t know you
you can’t know me
so lets quit trying knowing
and lets be alone together
lets be alone together
theres not much else we can do
I can’t know you
you can’t know me
so lets quit trying knowing
and lets be alone together
so lets quit trying knowing
and lets be alone together

One More Thing...
04:41
|

Ive got just one more thing
that id like to say
before i let the breeze
blow you away
be kind to your mothers
your sisters and your brothers
and smile
I’ve got just one more thing
that you outta know
if you’re feeling blue
you can let it show
its a lonesome dusty road
you don’t have to go alone
so lets ride
I’ve got just one more thing
that has to be said
that has to be heard
outside of my head
your feet won’t shake themselves
and you can’t be no one else
so come on bust a rug
and let a little love in
I’ve got just one more thing
then ill shut my mouth
you can find the north star
if you're stuck down south
there's give and there's get
so come on give your hand you’ll get mine
the world is such a cold and lonely place to be
so make friends with a stranger
and put a smile on your face
that puts a smile on their face
and smile with your teeth
one more thing and swear its the end
you don’t have to break to prove you can bend
thank you for lending an ear my friend
I hope to be with you again
