Don't Got The Money

Well it breaks my heart, we're living in a lie
And you know, sweetheart, we're living in a lie
Well, I know we've been, living in sin
Yes, you know we've been, living in sin
Well, I tell you, love. We're living in a lie.
But I can't get enough. We're living in a lie.
You know we've been, living in sin.
Yes, I know we've been, living in sin.
Oh, I wanna be
Your family
So tell me, dear
Will you marry me?
Alright.
I gotta get a ring but I don't got the money tonight.
Well it makes me cry, we're living in a lie.
Does it make you cry, we're living in a lie.
Oh, we just can't win, living in sin.
No we just can't win, living in sin.
But I want you love, living as my wife.
Yes I want you love, living as my wife.
I love you boy, we gotta get it right.
Oh, I love you girl, we gotta get it right.

Cold was the morning air
As Jack and I repaired to our bedroom.
I closed the door and
Jack bled upon the floor
A thick dark blood
Came oozing from his wound.
He coughed in pain and then he turned to smile at me
The bright red blood flashed crimson on his teeth
He said, my love, I've done it now
I love you, sugar, but you've gotta flee.
Nanny Belle, she only frowned,
she took my hand and kissed me on the lips
I kissed her hard but
When I looked upon her face, my blood
had left an imprint of our kiss.
She said, my love, you know that I will never go,
I'm with you and you alone, darling.
There must be a doctor near
So let me find and bring him here toot sweet.
Bang, bang went the gun that shot the lawman dead,
He was gone before he hit the floor.
But not before he fired a shot
That ricochet'd away
The bullet danced around the room
Til Pleasant Jack, he cried out in dismay.
And that's where the story ends,
At least for you and me my stalwart friends
This ballad of
Pleasant Jack and Nanny Belle
Two lovers caught 'twixt firmament and hell.
Two outlaws in the eyes of some
But others see
Two people who were truly living free
And it's not for us, my friends, to say
Who is right and who has gone astray.

Keep On Walking
03:19
|
|||
|
Keep on walking by me, keep on walking.
I don't need your stupid lies like I did before.
If I don't see you on the run, I'm gonna grab my daddy's gun
And I won't be seeing you anymore.
You made a fool of me for the last time.
You brought that woman 'round, I nearly lost my head
You are dead to me, but you're not half as dead
as your'e gonna be If I see you coming 'round, ever again.
All those nights when you didn't come back home
And you left me there, drinking til the break of dawn
Well, it's a funny thing, looking back
Those were the greatest nights that we ever had
And I plan on a hell of a lot more now that you're gone.
I took you back far too many times
When you would feed me one of your silly lines
You say, "I'm sorry, dear." Well, I'm sorry too
That I wasted so much time on you
I've got a lot better use of my time, now that we're through.
You left me with a big stack of bills to pay
But I've been saving up for just such a rainy day
But it's not going to beer, it's not going to gas
But to two big guys who're gonna kick your ass
And that is worth just about every penny I saved.
Yes, indeed, you are still good looking
I can't deny what we both know to be true.
But I can tell you, boy, that it don't mean shit
'Cause you ain't got brains and you ain't got wit
And I thank my lucky stars I'm finished with you.

Break Your Heart
02:53
|

|
I'm gonna break your heart
I'm gonna let you down
I'm gonna walk away
I'm gonna fool around.
I'm gonna tell you lies
I'm gonna be untrue
I'm gonna make you cry
I'm gonna come unglued.
So what'cha, what'cha, what'cha gonna do?
You better run away.
You better run and hide.
You better make your escape.
You better run away.
You better run away.
You better run and hide.
You better make your escape.
Doo-do, doo-do, doo-do, doo-do
You better run away!

Ten Til Five

Watching the clock makes it go slow
And this is something that we all know
But we do it any way, oh, we do it all day
On Friday.
And when the clock hits 10 til five
Oh, we all start to come alive
We're finally getting free
Of our workday misery
On Friday.
So meet us at the bar
Oh we're gonna hit it hard
On Friday
(chorus)
There's nothing we must do
Til Monday comes around for me and you.
There's nowhere we must go
So pour another drink, and don't you dare think about
going home.
Clocking in and clocking out
Oh, that's not what living's about
But you would never tell
From the bosses raisin hell
Most everyday.
Oh, we work hard, harder than most
But we're not the sort that likes to boast
Oh, we just get it done, and we put off having fun
Til Friday
So meet us at the bar
Oh, we're gonna hit it hard
On Friday.
(chorus)
(bridge)
Let's raise a glass for friends not with us
Let's make a toast to all who miss us
Let's sing a song for days remembered
Let's sing along, and drink to better days. Oh, la di da!
(chorus)

Here Be Dragons
04:45
|

|
Let's steal a car, let's pick a very fast one
And let's drive it hard, let us find the edges of the map, my dear
And let's get outta here.
Let's grab a spoon and tunnel to the center of the earth we knew
The one we used to dream of
Oh, the world that we
always knew could be.
Oh, let us go. Come with me.
(chorus)
And when we stop, we'll look around and we'll say, "Here be dragons."
And in that place we'll make our home, and we'll be, oh we'll be married.
And when the world comes crashing in, and you are so very saddened.
I'll simply point outside and smile, and remind you, "Here be dragons."
Let's take some sheets and fashion a balloon that we can fill with heat
And rise up to the moon where we will sit pretty, underneath the stars.
Let's lash some logs together for a raft and we will sail the seas,
negotiating crashing waves, just you and me, together til the end.
Oh, this is now. And that was then.
(chorus)
Let's go by train, the clicking and the clacking, like a soothing rain,
washing all our woes away, and every mile,
leads to somewhere new.
Let's stay right here, underneath the covers, let me love you, dear
Let me be your lover, let me hold on tight, and never let go.
Oh-oh. Oh-oh. Never let go.
(chorus)

Verse 1
Let me tell you about a girl, the love of my life
And all the the things a man must do to make a girl his wife.
Oh I asked her if she'd marry me
But she shook her bonny head
She looked me up and down and then she said.
Let's be honest, Pleasant Jack, we both know who you are.
You're a very charming lad, but with you, my family'd starve.
Oh I can't feed them with a smile, 'cause smiles don't get us fed.
So get those silly thoughts out of your head.
Well there weren't much work around when I was a younger man.
But I knew I loved you, Nanny Belle, so I came up with a plan.
I grabbed my momma's gun, and the bullets I did take
And I went to town to rob me a bank.
Chorus
I would walk through fire for you.
I would kill a man if you asked me to
Oh can't you see? There's no one that loves you
More than me.
Verse 2
Back then I was just a very wide-eyed little girl.
Living in a small town, I knew nothing of the world.
There was some excitement, on that autumn day,
Some masked desperado robbed a bank.
As I walked into the bank, my heart, it did fall
But then I thought of Nanny Belle and it strengthened my resolve
I walked up to the counter brandishing my gun
Saying, "Gimme all you got, don't test me son."
As I went to bed that night, there was a knock on my window.
It was Pleasant Jack, with a smile so wide, saying "Darling, I love you so."
And then he held up bags of cash, the biggest I'd ever seen.
He took a little bow and then he said to me.
(Chorus)
Bridge
There's nothing I won't do, for you. I love you so.
Oh, you silly fool, what'd you do?
Get inside.
Third Verse
The coppers were hot on my trail, I had so little time.
I reached out to my Nanny Belle, she placed her hand in mine.
She said, "My foolish, darling boy, you know that you can't hide.
She kissed me on the cheek and went outside.
The policemen, oh he said to me, "We know you're hiding him.
Unless you want to share a cell we suggest you turn him in."
At that very moment, it was then I realized, I had to go back in and say goodbye.
Nanny Belle returned to me with a very furrowed brow.
She took my hand and said, "My love, oh we're in it now."
She turned to her family and with a smile she said,
"You never have to worry, I'll keep you fed."
2nd Bridge
So I said (spoken)
Oh, you silly fool, what'd you do?
What'd you do?
There's nothing I won't do, for you.
Now let's run.
Chorus x2

Oh, don't you raise your voice to me.
I said I'd get it done and I will soon.
Well, sweetheart, you promised me a year ago
And still you're singing that old tired tune.
Oh, let's just call it quits.
Oh, it never seems to end.
Oh, we never seem to get along.
Yeah, let's just end it now.
It's too late to make amends.
What felt so right now feels so wrong.
I used to love you, lover, but somehow I don't know where my lovin's gone.
Your clothes are strewn about our room
Even though I've asked a thousand times
Oh, you wanna talk cleanliness, now do you?
Cause you ain't washed a dish in your lifetime.
Oh, let's just give it up.
It's more trouble than it's worth.
Oh, we never seem to get along.
Oh, let's throw in the towel
Yeah, let's just end it now
What felt so right now feels so wrong.
I used to love you, lover, but somehow I don't know where my lovin's gone.
How did our love get so small?
How did our hearts grow so hard?
My hardened heart will fall apart
Without you.
Let's never call it quits.
Oh, let us never end.
Let us find a way to get along.
Well, sure, it might be tough
As tough as anything
But the struggle only makes us strong
Let's never give us up
Let's never give up on us
The way we feel just can't be wrong.
And even though we fight
Sometimes like cats and dogs
My love for you is always strong.
I'll always love you, lover.
I will always love you, lover.
It's with you that I belong.

This story takes place through Buttermilk Junction
Situated in Shannon County, MO
This is how it goes.
On route 60 we were flying,
riding high in a stolen Little 9.
Jack's hand in mine.
Some would call us outlaws
But we felt like Queen and King
We could do anything.
It was about a quarter past midnight
When we noticed headlights in the mirror
They were gettin' near.
Nanny Bell pulled her .38
She smiled at me and joked,
"Don't you know, it ain't too late to visit Mexico."
Pleasant Jack, he only laughed, and said "what would we do
old Mexico? We don't hablo the espanol."
And besides darlin'
(chorus)
This is where we wanna be, right out on the edge
Makin' love and setting fires and rolling dice with death
And there's no one that I'd rather do it with.
Oh there's no one but you.
Let's just drive through the night, Nanny Bell said as she lit a cigarette
We ain't there yet.
Pleasant Jack flashed his brightest smile and said, "Darlin' we got
miles and miles to go. Til we find home."
(chorus)

Get Set Go Austin, Texas
Get Set Go is criminally under-appreciated.
However, they still make the best music you've never heard.
Get Set Go recommends:
Sebastian, hands down, is one of the most singular and passionate and skilled songwriters I have ever known. Like, if you know me at all, you know that those are the three metrics that matter.

Eric's music is everything you could ever want from someone that knows all the tiny bits about how music is made and still says, fuck it, I'm making MY music. I have learned so much from him.

Let the Machines
by John Brownell and his Spare Parts
John's newest record is the only album I have encountered that is trying to grapple with the idea that machines are taking over, and we're pretty okay with that. And that is pretty darn awesome!

This album is what got me into Shyguy. A wonderful chip-infused romp through some of the most legendary R&B, backed by an army of awesome features. A maxed out tribute. Plus, dude's representing freaking Heartbreaker. No one reps Invincible tracks. Mad respect.
