Good Graces

Music available soon:

We can do what we can as we burn on the sands and the strip

We’ll take what we need and the rest we can leave

They won’t come if you call of care if you fall or you slip

But you can drive to the sea with the moonlight and me

When the doorbell rings we’ll run down the stairs

When the music starts we’ll stand on the chairs

We left without blinking

But someday we’ll make it back there

We can laugh off the talk

And walk as we a whistle a tune

We can sleep through the night and all through the day

But we’ll pay with skins for dogs we let into the room

When they’ve eaten their fill they’ll be on their way

When the doorbell rings we’ll run down the stairs

When the music starts we’ll stand on the chairs

We left without blinking

But someday we’ll make it back there

Into those good graces

Into those good graces

Law of the Rain

Audio available soon:

How will I get home when the roads washed away?

The signposts are down in the gutters and drains

And how will I have bread when the butter’s all ruined?

That boy in the kitchen he don’t know what he’s doing

They say that those breaks are the law of the rain

Some souls will stay safe

Some souls wash away

Some stay inside the whole day

And you get what you take under the law of the rain

How will I go straight when there’re so many hours

So many crooks and so many cowards

I'd ask you to stay but the cupboards are bare

I'd ask you to stay but it's not bad out there

They say that those breaks are the law of the rain

The rich will stay warm

The poor wash away

And the rest stay inside the whole day

And you get what you take under the law of the rain

When that water gets to rising

There's only two ways to go

Down below someone's crying

And up above it all it's empty on the high road

They say that those breaks are the law of the rain

The rich will stay warm

The poor wash away

And the rest stay inside the whole day

And you get what you take under the law of the rain

Union girl

Audio available soon:

Union girl you still have your sisters

They’ve been with you all the time

And if they’re not standing up with you now

They’re on the wrong side of the line

Union man you’ve still got your brothers

They’re spread out across the land

And someday you’ll see them together

You’ll see them together again

My heroes have always been union strong

My heroes have all had to fight

And when we’re not standing where they once stood

They’re walking all over our rights
