Along The Way - Devotchka

The gringos block the roads inside your head
Are you sleeping it off when you're not in your bed?
You pray in the darkness
Let me walk in your light
Let me die in my lover's arms
Let me love through this night

You are watching over my three brave soldiers
I have not forgotten
I will send youSomething

So this is the city?
So this is progress?
How can something so prettybecome such a mess?
There is no more than this steal and stone
More than this flesh and bone
There is a little piece of land in me
No other man can own

Who is watching my three brave soldiers?
I have not forgotten
I will send you Something

Well shut my mouth, I have nothing to say
Except, what is this life with no love along the way?
You know that I'm good for it
You know I can pay
We don't have to look for it
It is right here
It's today

Jack The Lion - Harvey Danger

Rake up all the leaves in pleasant valley
It's the last day of my visit - upstate New York
To pay respects to the old man
He's still got his sense of humor
But his body fails him
He's surrounded by loved ones
But that only goes so far
And does he know where he is?
I doubt it

Jack the lion roaring his last
Like a vision sent from the past
Bedside, crying, holding his hands
Strong hands

Finally get a moment alone with the old man
He's having trouble breathing
And he's not the only one
He wonders where time goes
And why we haven't spoken for so long
He regrets it
He forgets it
And none too soon
Because hes closing his eyes and fading

We thank you for uniting
We thank you for the cause
We thank you for the lion
We thank you for the claws
Come see him again
Come see him again
Come see him again
Come see him again

Jack the lion roaring his last
Like a vision sent from the past
Bedside, crying, holding his hands
Strong hands

Geraldine - Glasvegas

When your sparkle evades your soul
I'll be at your side to console
When you're standing on the window ledge
I'll talk you back from the edge
I will turn your tide
Be your shepard and your guide
When you're lost in the deep and darkest place around
May my words walk you home safe and sound
When you say that I'm no good and you feel like walking
I need to make sure you know that's just the prescription talking
When your feet decide to walk you on the wayward side
Up upon the stairs and down the downward slide
I will turn your tide
Do all that I can to heal you inside
I'll be the angel on your shoulder
My name is geraldine
I'm your social worker
I see you need me
I know you do
