The Sailor's Revenge

Wherever you go, there you are

There is no escape from your own heart

Time is marching on and all my plans are a memory

I am stranded here but in my mind I can see

Shimnavale, Shimnavale,

Where my poor shipwrecked heart longs to dwell

I was young and foolish then

How I long to return to Shimnavale

I went looking for a better life,

Make a fortune, find a pretty wife

Some who left before me

Have returned home broken men

But I’ll be rich before I ever set foot there again

Shimnavale, Shimnavale,

Where my poor shipwrecked heart longs to dwell

I was young and foolish then

How I long to return to Shimnavale

Well I know you have to start somewhere

Now I’m lonelier than I can bear

I felt sure success was waiting here for me to find,

Now I’m ready to believe that God has changed his mind

Shimnavale, Shimnavale,

I was sure in my heart I would prevail

Now I’m gone beyond the pale

But I’d die a happy man in Shimnavale

Shimnavale, Shimnavale,

Where my poor shipwrecked heart longs to dwell

I was young and foolish then

How I long to return to Shimnavale

Oh let’s get on with the game,

There’s no need to wonder why

You don’t mention my name –

Here’s mud in your eye

Did we waste those precious years?

Does it ever cross your mind?

Does it ever cross mine?

Let me say, not a day goes by

Oh you’re not long for this world

You will always find

Battalions of trouble

Marching behind

Still returning like a ghost

To the scene of the crime

If I could go back in time…

Anyway, not a day goes by

Well I had to take that chance

It was now or never

I had to be with her,

She’s the apple of my eye.

Well, regrets I have a few

And they multiply

Like the stars in the sky

Anyway, not a day goes by

So let’s get on with the game

There’s no need to wonder why

Do I think of you and I?

Let me say, not a day goes by

Jimmy Sanchez

Now the moon and stars have gone

I am helpless

But I will try to carry on

I know I must change

And I curse the boss

Who sent you there and made you stay,

And I would gladly give all the gold in San Jose

Just to hear your voice

Because the fires of love, the fires of love

They still burn

In their mansions

Safe tonight behind the door

While I suffer,

I don’t want to suffer any more.

I know I must change

Because the fires of love, the fires of love

They must burn

Jimmy Sanchez

The flames of love will guide you home

To your baby

To everything you’ve ever known

Because the fires of love, the fires of love

They still burn

Jimmy Sanchez

Now the moon and stars have gone

I am helpless

But I will try to carry on

I know I must change

I am the captain of my soul

I must leave this place and find my home

When I finally walk out this door

I will be lonely no more

There must be a better life somewhere

Another night alone is hard to bear

But in my dreams I see her on the shore

And I will be lonely no more

I am inclined to believe I have wasted my time

We all make mistakes but I hope yours are better than mine

I want to believe love’s the only thing worth waiting for

And I will be lonely no more

I will be lonely no more

All them cowboys are old men,

Longing for a mission once again

Gambling everything - boys, we were fearless

Well we had the right stuff then

We were brothers bound together

Sharing every victory and pain

Never will there be such good companions

We’ll never see that right stuff again

So farewell, my friends

Till we meet again

In some bar where angels fear to tread

Some have already gone

But it won’t be long

Till we’re all together again

Time is such a strange arrangement

You think you have too much and then it’s gone

But I know this world will keep on turning

When you and me have slipped this mortal coil

So farewell, my friends

Till we meet again

In some bar where angels fear to tread

Some have already gone

But it won’t be long

Till we’re all together again

So farewell, my friends

Till we meet again

In some bar where angels fear to tread

Some have already gone

But it won’t be long

Till we’re all together again

My foolish heart

Is broken today

I wanted you to love me

In my foolish way

Now I can see clearly

From the top of this hill

Maybe you don’t want to go on

But maybe I will

My foolish dreams

Are scattered and gone

I wanted you to see them

But I’ve lost every one

Now I have nothing

Only time to kill

Maybe I won’t make it alone

Or maybe I will

My foolish words

Came out awkwardly

I wanted you to hear them

But you threw them back at me

And all my good reasons

Fell out in a spill

Maybe I’ll never have the courage I need

Or maybe I will

Maybe I’ll never, ever really know

Or maybe I will

I’ve lived many lives

I’ve heard of many Gods

But I just don’t know

If there’s anyone at all

To be on the safe side

When I’ve had my final day

I have left instructions

To help me on my way

Just above my heart

There’s a small tattoo

Please return to Jesus

Thank you

I know I’m a sinner

And I’ve been unkind

But if I had the power

I would heal the blind

Just above my heart

There’s a small tattoo

Please return to Jesus

Thank you

If miracles came easy

Healing’s all I’d do

And if I had to choose a God

I’d probably choose you

Just above my heart

There’s a small tattoo

Please return to Jesus

Thank you

If I had money

I’d buy me a boat

Filled with provisions

And I’d write you this note

Farewell my sweet love

And darling beware

Watch out for people

Cos they’re everywhere

Adrift to the sunset

Right up to the edge

Up to the top of the world

In The Sailor’s Revenge

My heart is broken

And it’s more than I can stand

To be among people

Back on dry land

One day I’ll come home

At my journey’s end

You’ll see me approaching

In The Sailor’s Revenge

Back to my sweet love

My only true friend

No more to set sail

On The Sailor’s Revenge

On the broadway for the dawn

Waiting for the man to come

And like cattle one by one

He took his pick of the young and strong

Well I had no better plan

When I was a working man

I swung the hammer every day

Choking dust all came my way

And the time crawled by so slow

Till they told me I could go

So tired that I could hardly stand

When I was a working man

Just a part of their machine

Like so many before me

I said farewell and left my home

To try and make it on my own

I was a stranger in that land

When I was a working man

I needed money in my hand

When I was a working man

I just wanted to live a quiet life

Keep my head down

Come home every night

But it’s all gone to Hell

All my good plans fell through

Since I stumbled on the beauty of you

You won’t let this chance slip away

Just to keep those demons at bay

And you’ll gamble on a glimpse

Of a heart that is true

Baby that’s the beauty of you

Looks like our work is cut out

You’re everything that I dreamed about

Oh you just get better like wine

We should make the most of our time

And I know that you want

The same things I do

Baby that’s the beauty of you

We’ll go down together

Time to dream, not to sleep

We’ll go where there’s treasure

Far away across the deep

Will you come with me

Will you come with me

Into the wild and cold Celtic Sea

I have stood on this corner

Like a man cast away

I won’t last one more summer

I can’t stand another day

Will you come with me

Will you come with me

Into the wild and cold Celtic Sea

La Mer Celtique

Into the wild and cold Celtic Sea

They’ll write songs about us

So with a glass in each hand

We’ll bound for glory

We should go while we still can

Will you come with me

Will you come with me

Into the wild and cold Celtic Sea

I can feel my heart

And its fit to burst

I tried to clean it up

But I just get worse

I wish I could fall

On a night like this

Into your loving arms

For a moonlight kiss

I thought I saw your face 

In the evening sky

On a lonesome cloud

That was drifting by

I wish I could fall

On a night like this

Into your loving arms

For a moonlight kiss

You got someone else

Maybe it’s for the best

Since I took the cure

For happiness

But I'd trade it all

On a night a like this

For your loving arms

And a moonlight kiss

For your loving arms

And a moonlight kiss

A train pulls in above the street 

Soft and low like a mother's heartbeat

I've been trying to get my mind off me

But I'm more self conscious than I've ever been

By the time

You get this

I'll be long gone

God's my witness

It's all there in black and white

It's just the story of my life

Well, you either get it or you don't

You're the only one I've ever told

By the time

You get this

I'll be long gone

God's my witness

And it's hard

To keep living

When I know I'm

Unforgiven

Still it comes, still it comes

There was nothing else I could've done

Not with the cards they gave me

Do you think you'll ever forgive me?

By the time

You get this

I'll be long gone

God's my witness

It's so hard 

To keep living

when I know I'm

Unforgiven

Hey

Unforgiven

Unforgiven

Unforgiven

Unforgiven

Leave behind your worries

They're really very small

Come with me, set sail with me

On the Mighty Ocean Alcohol

I've sailed around insanity

I've heard those demons call

And once or twice, I have been capsized

On the mighty ocean Alcohol.

I lost my darling brother

I watched him slowly fall

As he hit the spray 

He was swept away 

On the Mighty Ocean Alcohol.

Leave behind your worries

They're really very small

Come with me, set sail with me

On the Mighty Ocean Alcohol

On the Mighty Ocean Alcohol

My reality cheque has bounced

Can’t take much more than an ounce

You need a heart of stone

Not to laugh when I’m down for the count

I’m gonna fight my way out.

You think I should behave

You think I’m digging my own grave

It’s gonna take a lot to get me outta this spot

I’m nobody’s slave

Baby I’m this way 24 hours a day

Trying to make a living 

While everybody’s making hay

And I can’t go out tonight 

'Cos I don’t have a light

Somebody stole my Milky Way

And I can’t come out to play

You just roll in with the tide

Like you’re just along for the ride

Are you with me or not

‘Cos I’m givin’ it my best shot

You better start taking sides

Baby I’m this way 24 hours a day

Tryin to make a livin’

While everybody’s making hay

And I can’t go out tonight

'Cos I don’t have a light

Somebody stole my Milky Way 

And I can’t come out to play

And I can’t go out tonight 

'Cos I don’t have a light

Somebody stole my Milky Way 

And I can’t come out to play.

Love is blind

Luck is dumb

Me and money just can’t get along

Someone up there 

Don’t like me

I don’t care,

As long as I can be

Your Loverman

Your Loverman

All my trouble, all my sins

I don’t know when to stop, or where to begin

But I’m gonna change

Drop this disguise 

Baby, baby, don’t you recognize

Your Loverman

Your Loverman 

I’m your Loverman

Your Loverman.

Luck is dumb

Love is blind

Look over here baby

And you’re gonna find

Your Loverman

Your Loverman

I’m your Loverman

Your Loverman

What can I tell you, 

I was a just a kid

I've no idea, 

why I did the things I did

If I have one regret it's her

Though I pretend that I don't care

You don't love her

The way I love her

You don't love her the way I do

When I saw her, 

I forgot the years

All those pointless, 

arguments and tears

And as far as I can see

You've been worse for her than me

You don't love her

The way I love you

You don't love her the way I do

You don't love her

The way I love her

You don't love her, she loves you

I did the things I chose to do

My plans did not include her too

I'm back in town, I just got free

And you're standing there instead of me

You don't love her

The way I love her

You don't love her the way I do

You don't love her

The way I love you

You don't love her, she loves you

You don't love her

The way I love her

You don't love her the way I do

You don't love her

The way I love her

You don't love her, she loves you

Nothing is heavier 

In the universe 

Than the human heart 

Still suffering 

For an ancient sin 

We all played our part 

Nothing is stronger 

In the universe 

Than the human heart 

Outside the gates 

Trying to push our way in 

Before it gets too dark 

Howl on, Howl on

Till the pain is gone 

Howl on, Howl on

Howl on 

Nothing is lonelier 

In the universe 

Than the human heart 

Left to ponder 

A lifetime without love 

Each time it falls apart 

Howl on, Howl on

Till the pain is gone 

Howl on, Howl on

Howl on 

Don’t crack up now

Don’t go weird on me babe

Don’t burst my bubble

Don’t rain on my parade

I got evicted … from my castle in the sky

If money could talk … it would say ‘goodbye’

And just when it feels .. like none of it's real

Suddenly, the sweet smell of success

I must be stupid, I don’t get it at all

I’m in a barrel, headin’ for a waterfall

Don’t kid yourself, you’re in one, as well

That’s why I’m laughin,’ that’s why I’m happy as hell.

And just when it feels

Like none of it’s real

Suddenly, the sweet smell of success

Suddenly, the sweet smell of success.

It won’t change me I’m goin' out with a bang

Whatever happens remember, karma is a boomerang

Suddenly … the sweet smell of success

Suddenly … the sweet smell of success

Into the arms of love

Into the arms of love

Hold my flame

Hold my flame lightly

Into the arms of love

Into the arms of love

Hold my dream

Hold my dreams gently

I would give my all

If I could only somehow fall

Into the arms of love

Baby the time has come

We don't have very long

And the chain

And the chain is tightening

Baby I think I see 

This could be the making of me

But the pain came like lightening

And shook me like a doll

If I could only somehow fall

Into the arms of love

Into the arms of love

I dont wanna lead you on

I won't string you along

But my head is spinning

A war's tearing me apart

Between my head and heart

But my heart, but my heart is winning

On my hands and knees I'd crawl

If I could only somehow fall

Into the arms of love

Into the arms of love

Into the arms of love

Into the arms of love

I was living on the dark end

Of Lonely Street

Hoping that some day

I would meet

Somebody like me

Somebody like you

But how can we start?

What can we do?

Be true to your heart

Be true to your heart

Be true to your heart

It's a good place to start

The world is against us

And tears will flow

But if love can save us

How will we know?

Be true to your heart

Be true to your heart

Be true to your heart

Be true to your heart

And now the sky

Is a beautiful blue

Just how I feel

When I think about you

Be true to your heart

Be true to your heart

Be true to your heart

Be true to your heart

I’ve given in my notice

Goin' downtown to get loaded

Gonna spend this money

You know the way it goes

Sometimes you’re on a rock, Sometimes you’re on a roll.

Well I know the price of love

And I feel like givin’ up

Somethin’ always comes along

Ah, baby doll you know

Sometimes you’re on a rock, Sometimes you’re on a roll.

I can’t sleep tonight

And the traffic sounds just like

Sounds just like the ocean 

Telling me to go 

Sometimes you’re on a rock, Sometimes you’re on a roll.
