Til Death Do Us Part lyrics - Kasey Chambers
I'll walk here beside you
I'll walk here beside you
I'll walk here beside you forever, my love
'Til death do us part
I'll climb up that mountain
I'll climb up that mountain
I'll climb up that mountain to meet you, my love
'Til death do us part
I'll sing Hallelujah
I'll sing Hallelujah
I'll sing Hallelujah forever, my love
'Til death do us part
I'll sing Hallelujah forever, my love
'Til death do us part
Wreck And Ruin lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Gotta get good with the big black dog
Hanging all around the door
Gotta get wet in the dirty water
Where the fish don't swim no more
Sifting through all of my wreck and ruin
Gotta get a rhythm with the wiper blades
Gotta go bait the rats
Gotta get lost in a street parade
Of clowns and acrobats
Marching through all of my wreck and ruin
Well everybody knows where everybody goes
When everybody wants something
Cooks are in the kitchen, fingers all twitching
Waiting for me to sing
Ain't it true, you love my wreck and ruin
Time to meet the devil inside my head
And find out what he's worth
Catch that monkey on a wire
And bring him back down to earth
Like I do, with all of my wreck and ruin
Gotta get down with the rattlin' bones
Down where the demons lie
Gotta get dragging this bag of stones
Until the day I die
Pay my dues with all of my wreck and ruin
Well everybody knows where everybody goes
When everybody wants something
Cooks are in the kitchen, fingers all twitching
Waiting for me to sing
Ain't it true, you love my wreck and ruin
Ain't it true, you love my wreck and ruin
Adam And Eve lyrics - Kasey Chambers
My name is Adam, my name is Eve
I was the first man to live and breathe
God made the ocean, He made it blue
He told us "Don't eat forbidden fruit"
Oh, He can see us, hear what we say
But He was resting on that seventh day
She met a serpent that afternoon
He smiled at her and she broke the rule
Come on, we're leaving, no time to waste
The Garden of Eden's no longer safe
Throw down that apple, that ship has sailed
We're on the run with God on our tail
I can remember, I do recall
There were no weeds here, no thorns at all
I was misguided, I was mislead
I asked for good but got evil instead
Come on, we're leaving, no time to waste
The Garden of Eden's no longer safe
Throw down that apple, that ship has sailed
We're on the run with God on our tail
Throw down that apple, that ship has sailed
We're on the run with God on our tail
My name is Adam, my name is Eve
I was the first man to live and breathe
The Quiet Life lyrics - Kasey Chambers
We could be the talk of the town tonight
Carry home your shoes in the morning light
Or we could just stay here a while
Wrapped up in the quiet life
We could sail away to Tobago
Fly across the Gulf of Mexico
Or we could just stay here a while
Wrapped up in the quiet life
Now and then I'm loving the world again
And I'll be fine living in the quiet life
We could get a job on the movie screen
Smile on the cover of a magazine
Or we could just be man and wife
Happy in the quiet life
Where the clock don't move so quick
Where the water don't make you sick
Traffic don't keep you up at night
Here in the quiet life
Now and then I'm loving the world again
And I'll be fine living in the quiet life
Living in the quiet life
Sleeping by a firelight
Maybe I could make you smile
In the quiet life
We could be the talk of the town tonight
Dustbowl lyrics - Kasey Chambers
This town has got a hold on me
This town has got a hold on me
Well, I lost my soul
Now I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
There's a road leading in but there ain't one out
There's a road leading in but there ain't one out
Now I'm on a roll
And I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
It's gonna blow, oh Lord
It's gonna blow, oh Lord
It's gonna blow I know
I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
It'll pick you up, it'll spit you out
Yeah, it'll pick you up, it'll knock you down
Yeah it'll take its toll
Now I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
It's gonna blow, oh Lord
It's gonna blow, oh Lord
It's gonna blow I know
I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
It's gonna blow I know
I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
Blow I know
I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
Blow I know
I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
Familiar Strangers lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Like a walk down a dead-end street
Like a ship sailed and lost at sea
We can hold out and clutch at a straw
But I don't even know you anymore
Like the curtain at the end of the show
Like the sound of a lonesome whistle blow
We can make believe it's worth fighting for
But I don't even know you anymore
Cause we're just familiar strangers
We don't know any better
Oh why do we hold our breath and wait
When it's too late?
Like the answer to a question no one asked
Like a race where everybody comes in last
We will end up on the cutting room floor
Cause I don't even know you anymore
Cause we're just familiar strangers
We don't know any better
Oh why do we hold our breath and wait
Cause we're just familiar strangers
We don't know any better
Oh why do we hold our breath and wait
When it's too late?
When it's too late?
Your Sweet Love lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Save me
Your sweet, sweet love won't save me now
Save me
Your sweet, sweet love won't save me now
I've been out at the edge of the world
Close to the other side
I've been 'cross every desert and back
I ain't found no place to hide
Save me
Your sweet, sweet love won't save me now
I've been at every window and door
Sailed every ocean wide
I've been from east to west, back again
I ain't found no place to hide
Save me
Your sweet, sweet love won't save me now
Save me
Your sweet, sweet love won't save me now
Save me
Your sweet, sweet love won't save me now
Rusted Shoes lyrics - Kasey Chambers
I got me some rusted shoes
I got me some rusted shoes
I been singing the hard rain blues
And I'm going nowhere
I got me a hobo hat
I got me a hobo hat
Sun burning down on my back
And I'm going nowhere
Just a grumpy old dog with a bone
I like the weather much closer to home
I'm staying where I belong
I'm going nowhere
I got me a worn out smile
I got me a worn out smile
I ain't walking for one more mile
No, I'm going nowhere
I got me some rusted shoes
I got me some rusted shoes
I'm making the bed I choose
And I'm going nowhere
Just a grumpy old dog with a bone
I like the weather much closer to home
I'm staying where I belong
I'm going nowhere
Come on baby, get long in the tooth
We got nothing much better to do
Just me growing old with you
And going nowhere
I'm going nowhere
We're going nowhere
Flat Nail Joe lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Well, you got the sickle and you got the rake
Fingers gonna bleed and your back's gon' break
You got the shovel and you got the plough
You got forever but you don't got now
Let's go, go - Flat Nail Joe
Everybody knows where the wind will blow
Old friend, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
You got the hammer and you got the glue
Got the heave-ho and the old one-two
Well, you got the nickel and you got the dime
You got forever but you don't got time
Let's go, go - Flat Nail Joe
Everybody knows where the wind will blow
Old friend, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Well, you got the timber and you got the steel
A whole bag o' hooks and fishing reel
You got the oil for the rusty gate
You got forever but you're always late
Let's go, go - Flat Nail Joe
Everybody knows where the wind will blow
Old friend, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Let's go, go - Flat Nail Joe
You don't gotta bring your axe and hoe
Old friend, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Oh oh, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Oh oh, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Old friend we gotta go
Everybody knows where the wind will blow
Oh oh, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
You gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Gotta stand up now
Have Mercy On Me lyrics - Kasey Chambers
When the angels come from heavens above
Sweet as honey, sweet as honey
Pick me to fly on a white-winged dove
Sweet as honey, sweet as honey
I'm blind, but you can make me see
Oh my, have mercy on me
I would trade it all if you asked me too
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Take the green, the red, the white and the blue
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Untrue, we can play for keeps
If you have mercy on me
Lay me down, let me sleep
Hear that sound while I weep
And if I die before I wake
Oh, Lord please, have mercy on me
When it's said and done and written in stone
Hear me holler, hear me holler
You can strike me down and point the bone
Hear me holler, hear me holler
Oh why, you can set me free
Oh my, have mercy on me
Lay me down, let me sleep
Hear that sound while I weep
And if I die before I wake
Oh, Lord please, have mercy on me
Oh, Lord please, have mercy on me
Up Or Down lyrics - Kasey Chambers
When you can hear that final word
Will you be sure of what you heard?
Oh, can you say where you'll be bound
Will you go up or will you go down?
Oh, when that day has finally come
Oh, when your race is finally run
Oh, will you rest down in the ground?
Will you go up or will you go down?
When you take your last breath of air
And you listen to your final prayer
Oh, will it be a lonesome sound?
Will you go up or will you go down?
Oh, will it be a lonesome sound?
Will you go up or will you go down?
Sick As A Dog lyrics - Kasey Chambers
I got the fever, I got the cough
My head is pounding like the wheel's come off
I got the shivers, I got the shakes
I'm burning up at a hundred and eight
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I've got the achin' down in my bones
Like I been beaten with the sticks and stones
I'm gonna pass out, I'm gonna crash
I'm gonna struggle gettin' rid of the rash
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
Troubled Mind lyrics - Kasey Chambers
When I'm dead and gone
Long after my time
Will anyone see if they bury me
With a troubled mind?
Beneath the ground
Where the sun will not shine
Will anyone know that I had to go
With a troubled mind?
I am not lonely
Not the worrying kind
But oh, how I suffer
From a troubled mind
When the Lord takes my hand
To the other side
Will anyone hear the sound of a tear
And a troubled mind?
I am not lonely
Not the worrying kind
But oh, how I suffer
From a troubled mind
When they lay me down
At the end of my life
Will I be alone, the words on my stone
A troubled mind?
Happy Woman Blues lyrics - Kasey Chambers
(originally by Lucinda Williams)
Tryin' hard to be a happy woman.
But sometimes life just overcomes me,
Everyday I'm workin' just to pay my dues.
Lay down at night, my mind is so confused.
Goin' down south with the New York City blues,
Gotta hit the road before I blow a fuse,
I might buy me a Cadillac or a Chevrolet.
I don't care what model as long as it takes me away
I've been hiding my heart in a trunk.
Can you come see me when my ship has sunk
You can give me loovin, that I can't refuse,
And love is the one thing that's sure to cure my blues.
Goin' down the road with a heave heart,
Tryin' to find lightness in the dark,
Tryin' to live my life, tryin' to get satisfied.
My mind is in the city but my heart is in the countryside.
Tryin' hard to be a happy woman.
But sometimes life just overcomes me,
Everyday I'm workin' just to pay my dues.
Lay down at night, my mind is so confused.
Lay down at night, my mind is so confused.
Return Of The Grievous Angel lyrics - Kasey Chambers
(originally by Gram Parsons)
Won't you scratch my itch sweet annie rich
And welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor
And I'll show you how it all went down
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads i went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
`Cause I headed west to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with the waves of grain
And I saw my devil,
And I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to Tennessee
We flew straight across that river bridge,
Last night a half past two
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye
And so long as we went rolling through
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
And now I know just what I have to do
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
He wants to take my money for something
That I've never been shown
And I saw my devil,
And I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to Tennessee
The news I could bring I met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
And lighted out for some desert town
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
Oh, but I remembered something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
If I Needed You lyrics - Kasey Chambers (feat. Jimmy Barnes)
If I needed you would you come to me,
Would you come to me, and ease my pain?
If you needed me
I would come to you
I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain
In the night forlorn the morning's born
And the morning shines with the lights of love
You will miss sunrise if you close your eyes
That would break my heart in two
The lady's with me now since I showed her how
To lay her lily hand in mine
Loop and Lil agree she's a sight to see
And a treasure for the poor to find
Luka lyrics - Kasey Chambers
(originally by Suzanne Vega)
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble. some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am [x3]
Nothing But A Child lyrics - Kasey Chambers
(originally by Steve Earle)
Once upon a time in a far off land
Wise men saw a sign and set out aross the sand
Songs of praise to sing, they travelled day and night
Precious gifts to bring, guided by the light
They chased a brand new star, ever towards the west
Across the mountains far, but when it came to rest
They scarce believed their eyes, they'd come so many miles
And the miracle they prized was nothing but a child
Nothing but a child could wash these tears away
Or guide a weary world into the light of day
And nothing but a child could help erase these miles
So once again we all can be children for awhile
Now all around the world, in every iittle town
Everyday is heard a precious little sound
And every mother kind and every father proud
Looks down in awe to find another chance allowed
