"War Dogs" lyrics
"War Dogs"
Call the war dogs off
Missing the point
Nothing but pain outside
Call all the war dogs off
Lay in the back won't you
Keep your head down
Nothing but fire outside
So keep your head down
Build me a grave my boy
Your mother to lie
Pick up your coat and run
Or we too will die
A child is still growing strong
Changing your eyes, changing your soul
Changing your name, changing your clothes
Changing your dreams
Papa where is the water?
Where is the food?
Where can we go from here?
What will we do?
We will drink from the puddles my boy
And eat off the streets
Hide till the war is won
Or drown in the sea

All is green and bends
And seeing her distorted so
I went through hell and back again
She was my dearest friend
But she will go to heaven
So maybe I can see her then...
Mandolin Orange - "Settled Down" These excuses are useless,
We've run aground again.
Another day in the gutter,
Making one for every year we've spent together.
My baby used to sing all night,
Now she's sound asleep.
She settled...
Blind Pilot - "I Buried A Bone" I buried a bone
and darling you don't know him
darling you don't know him
darling you don't know
and just where you are
might be the right place
it might be that sweet space
but you don't know
now...
