Problems of the Professional The gadgeteers exploits The experts ingenuity Profit from my mistakes Profit from my mistakes A ghostly view of a live concert Profit from my mistakes Profit from my mistakes Switching ordinary equipment to special tasks Oh! The gadgeteers exploits! Oh! The experts ingenuity! Profit from my mistakes Profit from my mistakes The polite way to make people vanish! Transmitter! Transmitter! Receiver! Receiver! The polite way to make people vanish The Quitter! The Quitter! Believer! Believer! The polite way to make people vanish I Swore you there, floating in mid-air The polite way to make people vanish Come on angel, you’ve got professional problems Profit from my mistakes! Profit from my mistakes!

Fuzzy Empire 02:31
Fuzzy Empire I fell in love with you I know you feel it too But when you’re so far away Then I act like a fool Everybody’s got a broken heart Yeah I know you got one too But I really just fall apart And I know you know I do I can feel it in my bones I hate to be alone Im not lying Feel like dying I need more Now you’re so far away I know you feel it too And it just breaks my heart I don’t know what I do I don’t know myself at 2 am And sometimes I scare myself Just the thought that I would be there again Im broken im by myself But I could never walk away from you And I know you know that too Oh I can feel it in my bones We got to be alone Right about now Im not well My fuzzy empire Fuzzy Empire

St Leon's 05:35
St Leons St Leons off the logging road St Leons off the logging road Keep on going down that rocky slope To St Leons off the logging road There will be a place for you Take the highway to the 2nd bridge hang a left until you reach the edge You will think you’re in the wrong place now When the only place is up or down Can’t turn around now Got to go down to St Leons Dexys gone a little late Let’s go back to the motel Then we’ll hit it in the morning We can rearrange the furniture We’ll burn bright at the Lamplighter We’re rocking Tremors and we’ll rock that pool in the morning There was a man there Was he St. Leon? St. Leon off the logging road Was he St Leon by the logging road There’s no signs to tell you where you’re going You can find it if you wanna go Everyone in town knows the way you get there Is to Turn left, go up, go down, turn left, go down, go down, go down There will be a path for us We left the motel at the break of day Lived the dream and then we drove away Hello Calgary Here comes the calvary Its only you and me, we’re from a distant galaxy When we got there We fell apart When we left there, not much to say Maybe we’ll go back there some day To St Leons off the logging road

The Weeping Man There he goes the weeping man Oh who says where he comes from Its overheard Where he goes when evening comes Don’t forget when evening comes so hard When do eye see who Who? Morning comes the weeping man too Oooh here he comes! Here he comes! The weeping man Who is he to who? - I don’t know No one even knew he was gone No one even hears him as he bumbles along Is everyone sailing alone? He was only in my memory missing Walking around Where? Where did he go to? Oh now Here he comes! Here he comes!! The weeping man There he goes, The weeping man

Smokies and Cannonballs Smokies and Cannonballs at the hotel Looks like I’m on my way down Smokies and cannonballs got some today Sometimes I just can’t get going Oh I could go swimming I could go for a walk But those smokies and cannonballs got me all locked Privacy please don’t clean up today I got too much to do But im gonna stay Right here in this hotel as long as I can Smokies and cannonballs you’re my best friend On the elevator and im changing my scene Im down in the lobby - this aint no hobby On the elevator and im going back up But it looks like im on my way down That Brendan was a good friend today He came through in a MAJOR way I was feeling so nervous I just don’t deserve this But he came through in a major way And now we’re keeping it real in 432 San Pellegrino - here’s looking at you! Watching the channel guide look for a show Im gonna space out til its time to go Aint nothing wrong with killing some time I t may be murder, but it ain’t no crime Later in the taxi I’ll be in the backseat Now im just watching tv I won’t be home til tomorrow nite But these smokies and cannonballs make it alright Smoking a doobie behind the drapes Blow out the window Im not one for vapes

The Volcano 05:37
The Volcano Think twice This is what you’re waiting for Get that one foot out the door Now you know I love the cure Think twice Twice before you turn your back Twice before the drones attack Twice before you start to crack I collided with the night I tried alright I tried Now im yours Find a light and hold it tight In comes the night I need to find a cure Holding back Holding back the volcano Oh Come back Come back from where I used to go Come back from all those nights before Come back and now im at your door Oh Come back Come from outer space Im back from gone without a trace Come back and now im at your place And oh the things we know The place we go When we’re alone I won’t fight myself tonight, I tried my best I tried Now im yours Find a song and sing along the night is long I need to find a cure I know that the night is long I know where I do belong I know what I really came here for Holding back Holding back the volcano Holding back Holding back the volcano Holding back....

No.87 03:32
No. 87 Cold Soul It’s No.87, its so much more And I’m standing in front of an open door And I’m standing here with ghosts around me And every year they’ve always found me All those ghosts that have brought us here, They freak me out Well now I’m ringing the bell Back in town again I’ve been round the bend Oh I was lost on the road Please tell me once! Twice! No. 87 is so real And now that I hear it, I feel it And it feels like familiar places Sounds like a million faces All those dreams that have brought us here, they freak me out Well now I’m ring the bell Im back in town again Ive been round the bend Open up now we’re at the door (Old town high Outside, go Miles I go Outside I’ll know) Oh ive decided to go Oh im decided to go So tell me once! Twice! Its No.87 Its all those dreams that have brought us here They freak me out Well now im ringing the bell

What hours later One in the back One in the mirror One to get back I hammer them down hammer them down Oh no! No one controls me and im gonna hafta do it myself Oh no! No one controls you and you’re gonna hafta do it yourself Oh no! No one controls us!!

Its Not Over 03:29
Its Not Over You think its over But its not over when its over And so im singing for you, That its not over No its not over when its over The waves roll over Over and over I know you’re leaving - you gotta go But its not over, no its not over I know we’ll see each other down the road The waves roll over The waves roll over when its over And im in their way Cuz everyday Is just too fast and then its over And every day’s a pounding wave I feel hung over in every day Always sideways Crashing like waves The waves roll over, over and over The Wheels turn round The waves roll over, The waves roll over when its over Over Until the wheels turn round Goodbye sunshine - im gone again But its not over - no its not over I know we’ll see each other down the lane Goodbye sunshine Goodbye sunshine Goodbye rain The waves roll over Over and over The waves roll over But its not over when its over No its not over when its over
12.
East Side Anthem Oh the east side Im bumping along the road And the night falls hard on the east side of town I tap my feet To the empty street Cars screech on the way to the beach And the wind blows harder on the east side of town Aaah used cars Weird bars East side of town Oh the east side How the street car shakes when it hits the breaks When its 3 am on the east side of town Nobodies walking around Kingston road Victoria park Hear the east side humming Hear that east side hum Streetlights change on an empty street East side, Leaside, what a place to meet Oh The east side Sure got a lot of cops across the river - driving around The east side Here come the trucks “Here come the trucks!” Its sun rise on the east side of town East Side “Here come the trucks!”

Middle March 04:46
Middle March Are we alright? Are we alright? Do we still breathe Are we still we? Are we ok? How I miss those new old days Heart strings all in time Too much string for me to unwind Those new old days They slipped away Some years So sweet Beneath our feet Heart Strings all in time Too much string for me to unwind All those songs of mine Too much to rewind Hols on tight Hold on tighter Hold on tight Don’t let go Those new old days Are we ok How I miss those new old days Heart strings all in time Too much string for me to unwind Too much string Too much “Well I went downtown I was looking for a piano... Could you bring your van to their house? Help me carry it down the stairs”
14.
Moon Jams 05:20
Moon Jams Took a trip to the moon I didn’t know what I’d find there I was looking for you I was looking when I saw you out there On my trip to the moon I was looking for love there I was floating I was floating out there On my trip to the moon Night Shades Opera Not just another lunar emotion Its so lonely living on the sun Its so bright I can’t see anyone Living on the earth is such a sacrifice But the moon with you would Be so nice Au Claire de la lune Un voyage de l’amour Et le ciel et miel Au clair de la lune Nuit blanch Etrange La silhouette de la lune s’approche Tour le monde got to cry cry cry And nobody knows the why why why Living on the earth is such a sacrifice But together we could make a paradise Time and space is the place For your favourite particles Time and space is Just the place for your face Time and space is the place When the night shakes I feel another lunar emotion Being happy is a try try try Then you’re tired and its nigh nigh nigh Its so lonely living on a satellite That it takes me it takes me and it shakes me and it... I remember what tomorrow means Try to find out what it means to me Think about my stupid life before That is why I knew I had to go On a trip to the moon Took a trip to the moon
