Last Call At the Old Buskers Inn - Anna Howie

One month on the road will leave you wonderin' How any man could ever want for more? But three months on the road will leave you stumblin' Fallin' through another hotel door Throwin' houlihans at the Holiday Inn Haven't put boot heel to belly since can't remember when And I'll sing you all the songs of my workin' cowboy kin Then it's back to throwin' houlihans at the Holiday Inn Highwayside grazin' herd of cattle Folks 'round here pulled in a decent yield A view best taken in from the saddle I'm starin' through this dirty, cracked windshield Throwin' houlihans at the Holiday Inn Haven't put boot heel to belly since can't remember when And I'll sing you all the songs of my workin' cowboy kin Then it's back to throwin' houlihans at the Holiday Inn If I'm paid well, a tale I'll tell and sing And I seldom pay a cent for my drinks Folks in here tonight, they think I'm a king I'd trade it all for a double-rigged saddle and a good pair of chinks Throwin' houlihans at the Holiday Inn Haven't put boot heel to belly since can't remember when And I'll sing you all the songs of my workin' cowboy kin Then it's back to throwin' houlihans at the Holiday Inn Then it's back to throwin' houlies at the Holiday Inn

When I was young, I fell in love with story With the eleventh hour, with the blaze of glory The theatre lights dim and all goes quiet In the darkest of rooms, light shines the brightest When hands are tied and clocks are ticking An audience convinced, we're leaning in Holding our breath again Just when we thought the game was over The music lifts and our dying soldier lives And we breathe a sigh of relief We're leaving, we're leaving our shadows behind us now We're leaving, we're leaving it all behind for now But even dust was made to settle If we're made of dust, then what makes us any different? I guess we give what we've been given A family tree so very good at giving up When we've had enough The truth is heavier than fiction Gravity lifts as the projectionist rolls tape And it makes us brave again And it makes us brave again And it makes us brave So we're leaving, we're leaving our shadows behind us now Yeah, we're leaving, we're leaving it all behind for now And it makes us brave again And it makes us brave Yeah, we're leaving, we're leaving And it makes us brave And we're living unharmed Behind for now

SIMPLE SONG OF FREEDOM Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war Hey there, Mister Black Man can you hear me? I don't want your diamonds or your game I do want to be someone known to you as me And I will bet my life you want the same Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war Seven hundred million are enlisted Most of what you read, most of what you read, is made of lies But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's son To wake to in the morning when we rise? Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung, never sung, before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war No doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle Like presidents, prime ministers and kings So let's all build them shelves so they can fight among themselves And leave us be those who want to sing Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never, ever, sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never, ever, sung before Speaking one to one Ain't it everybody's son To wake to in the morning when we rise Speaking one to one Ain't it everybody's son To wake to in the morning when we rise

Lately i've been thinking Lately i've been dreaming with you I'm so resistent to this type of thinking Oh now it's shining through I was alone for the last time Before my nights' vacation with you Alive from the first now i'm denied By the ghost of you Oh you take yourself a photograph and laugh at me Please I know there's little use in crying It's more wide awake and dying than i'm used to I thought we'd walk these streets together Now i'm hoping that I'll never have to meet you Step aside from all this anger And somewhere in between I can feel you Ask me should we try again I'm thinking no yeah It's not what i believe in It's not what i believe in Oh, Won't you take yourself a photograph and laugh at me Please You make yourself a photograph and laugh at me Please No I, wanna taste your love No I... no I No I, just wanna taste your love Oh, no I Standing in your shoes I turn And now you're standing bare in my doorway I only wish that I had been prepared I'm gonna have to go along with your way Just take the plastic camera out It's in the pants you borrowed in the driveway Alive from the first now i'm denied by the ghost of you Make yourself a photograph & laugh at me please Yeah make yourself a photograph & laugh at me please No i want a taste of love no i I was alive from the first now i'm denied by the ghost of you
