Playlist The Growlers

the growlers - a man with no god

A man with no god stated to pray
For a chance and a shot to win back his name
He used to have a whole lot but he threw it away
And all that he loved was washed down the drain
Oh man on no he had no where else to go
Oh man oh lord only the lord could save his soul
He was the one it wouldnâ??t happen to
He reminded me of me and you
He had it all but what is it all
I guess you only know when itâ??s finally gone
Down to his knees and willing to give faith a try
Willing to plead to the man who gave and spared his life
A man with no god stated to pray
For a chance and a shot to win back his name
When he had nothing he stated to see
The thing he missed most was his dignity....

the growlers - dull boy

Lost in the valley of malls
The kids are all eating themselves
Living on capsules and balls
Thinking that there's nowhere else at all

Flicking a match in the sky
Turning my back on my own
Finally the bottle's bone dry
With a message inside
That says that I'm gone

I am a dull boy with a dead dream
Searching for a pulse in any given scene
This city's shrinking down
I think it's time to leave this town
Pulling out while there's still time
Littered all my memories behind

The statues win so let them have it
Let them keep their squeaky clean
Whatever was now is in ashes
There isn't anymore room here for me

Cause I'm a dull boy with a dead dream
Searching for a pulse in any given scene
This city's shrinking down
I think it's time to leave this town
Pulling out while there's still time
Littered all my memories behind

This city's shrinking down
I think it's time to leave this town
Pulling out while there's still time
Littered all my memories behind

the growlers - acid rain

Last night I dreamed that it rained
And nobody complained
And when it quit no one was ever the same
The rain was strange and all the colors changed
And the blues of my baby leaving turned into green
Drip drop dripped onto my lips
I dreamt an acid rain trip
Drip drop dripped acid rain trip
All of my loneliness slipped
Since you went away everything has been gay
Only grey and plain until the acid rain

the growlers - barnacle beat

Iâ??m a go down to the corner of beach and
Dance in the street to the barnacle beat
Iâ??ll stand in the traffic and whale and Iâ??ll dance
And smile as the plastics trip as they glance
Maybe they wonâ??t find me crazy
The first ones to come are always the young
Theyâ??ll drop a baby at the sight of the sun
The youngies and the druggies and the pretties and the uglies
Till the oldies come down and get what theyâ??ve been wanting
Bring what you choose your roots and dancing shows your kazoos and kangaroos
Weâ??ve got nothing to loose
Sing your own tune or just sing along
Play your grass flute we cannot go wrong
Rip em off the ground
Show em our sound
Show em how to drown
Iâ??m a go down to the carnival street
Stand on my hands and smoke with my feet
Iâ??m a go down to the merry go round

the growlers - chinese fountain

A whole bunch of wishes unanswered, but who's counting
One, two, three, nice chicks left me broken-hearted
I was a pretty boy, your love left me scarred
There's something going around, can't put my finger in
Like going to shoot out the earth like diamonds

We are the miners of another generation
Hills scraped dry with no choice but being creative
Everybody's sick and tired of waiting
Couldn't get any harder to be patient

Isn't techno so shitty? Even disco seems punk
Like the water's so filthy, it's no wonder why we're drunk
Every little kid want's a computer in his pocket
The trophies are on the mantels of the digital prophets
The internet is bigger than Jesus and john lennon
And nobody wants to know where we're headed

We are the miners of another generation
Hills scraped dry with no choice but being creative
Everybody's sick and tired of waiting
Couldn't get any harder to be patient

He drops his quarters in a chinese fountain
A whole bunch of wishes unanswered
but who's counting
One, two, three, notches left me broken-hearted
I was a pretty boy, your love left me scarred

We are the miners of another generation
Hills scraped dry with no choice but being creative
Everybody's sick and tired of waiting
Couldn't get any harder to be patient

the growlers - city club

Yes, I'm only a man
Judgements of something ancient
Clocking my time as finished
The same is all replacements
Ignorance is complacency
Why I am purposely faded
No stand, no sit, no stopping
Ripping through the neon prophecies
Got let off by a ticket stub
My time is fading fast
Through your mouth and out your

(You never do what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up)
Come down
(You oughta wash your hands and pray)
For what?
(Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood)
Pass it round
(You never do what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up)
For now
(You promise that you'll come around?)
I'll be around
So I fear, but I don't know what it is
So I want, but I pretend I don't need
So is the pain of the stop of a lover's kiss
I throw my pages all away like shaking wrists

So shake me down
Shake me up (shake me down, shake me down)
So shake me up

(You never do what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up)
Hey now
(You oughta wash your hands and pray)
For what?
(Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood)
Pass it round
(You never do what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up)
Come down
(You promise that you'll come around?)
I'll be around

I tell me it ain't hard
As I hold my breath thinking why
Tell me to my beating heart
That I know for sure
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
Better than I can know for sure
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
What is real
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
My mistakes bend like payphone metal
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
I never know just what will come
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
As our [?] hands bind together
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
River and me children
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
Longer than a trillion
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
Get what I am given, forever
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
(So shake me up)

(You never do what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up)
Come down
(You oughta wash your hands and pray)
For what?
(Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood)
Pass it round
(You never do what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up)
For now
(You promise that you'll come around?)

the growlers - dope on a rope

Dope in the wash, strangers in bed
In nights, they make a heart beat half dead
In the mirror, striking a pose
Conjured up glamour in a school play rock show

Guess it doesn't last forever, just a feeling to remember
Dope on a rope we hang, the cat walks the plank
Unless we turn around, and do it again
Generations change
In a blink the fad's extinct
Find your lover or you'll flash the fame
Before you wake up from your dream

Everything changes when
When the last call lights shine
Seizing the heartbeat of our lovely reckless times
Everything changes when
When the last call lights shine
Seizing the heartbeat of our lovely reckless times

Collect taxidermy fist
As much is on your wrist
New friends flood the list till you're sick
Trying to have a ball in a tanked up stall
Numb when its from making sense of it all
I guess it doesn't last forever
Just the feeling to remember

Dope on a rope we hang, the cat walks the plank
Unless we turn around, and do it again

Generations change
In a blink, the fad's extinct
Find your lover or you'll taste the fame
Before you wake up from your dream

Everything changes when
When the last call lights shine
Seizing the heartbeat of our lovely reckless times
Everything changes when
When the last call lights shine
Seizing the heartbeat of our lovely reckless times

the growlers - ego of man

So it's a bust
But we don't wanna bail so stick with us
Cause even if we fail, you can trust
That we'll know for sure that our intentions
Are never anything but pure

We only want to be free
And as funny as it sounds it's all we want
To not have our egos bound with the rays of suns
Cause man should be free as falling rain
To find what he loves even if it's pain

We keep bringing
The same dream to bed every night
To keep our spirits fed to keep from being
Just another talking head that makes the world think
That there's something wrong with man

We only want to be free
And as funny as it sounds it's all we want
To not have our egos bound with the rays of suns
Cause man should be free as falling rain
To find what he loves even if it's pain

We only want to be free
And as funny as it sounds it's all we want
To not have our egos bound with the rays of suns
Cause man should be free as falling rain
To find what he loves even if it's pain

the growlers - empty bones

I met you in the past
But I forgot to ask your name.
I kept you in my but it only seems to feed the flame
Give me another chance to break me from this trance
To get you in my hands again
Oh fill my empty bones
For I was a heavy stone
Fill my fill my hollow bones
Hear my lonesome moans
Now I canâ??t leave it be
Your goddam memory has taken over me
And your face is all I see
Zombie around I run around
And wind up in the same town I run around
Like a dirty hound until your found
Being young and feeling old
And having just my drink to hold
Lurkin searchin on the road to find the only love I know
Wild night of lust now only in my mind
I knew I couldnâ??t trust this treacherous heart of mine

the growlers - graveyard 039 s full

The graveyard's full
We're running out of earth
But we can use the bones
To build another church
Thick walls made of men
Whose souls have come and went

So what's that magic number
Of how many men can live
Before our precious mother
Can no longer give?
I don't want your answers
I'm content

With how much we can take
Before they call it rape
Everything that we create
Seems to get thrown in our face
To make it easier for the race
And harder to esacpe

The graveyard's full
We're running out of earth
But we can use the bones
To build another church
thick walls made of men
Whose souls have come and went

All we know's that souls
All come and go

So what's that magic number
Of how many men can live
Before our precious mama
Can no longer give?
I don't need your answers
I'm content

With how much we can take
Before they call it rape
Everything that we create
Seems to get thrown in our face
To make it easier for the race
And harder to esacpe

The graveyard's full
We're running out of dirt
But we can use the bones
To build another church
Thick walls made of men
Whose souls have come and went

All we know's that souls
All come and go.

the growlers - heehaw stomp

Soft hands with your head hanging low
You got no plans and nowhere to go
Youâ??re always lying round and youâ??re always waiting
With your no good reasons for your complaining
I got no time or sympathy for the kind
Who put their needs ahead and put their morals behind
No time and too much weight on my spine to give you
Sense and a dime to hear you shuffle and whine
The man of today donâ??t have a back for the weight
Nobody to wait for food on the plate
Soft hands why donâ??t you do it yourself
Instead of waiting for your uncle to help
Pick up your limp chin and tighten up your belt
Instead of waiting for your shadow to help
The man of today has withered away

the growlers - her command

I know I'm not the highest of class
You wrote the speech and years I collapsed
At your command, I gave you both my hands.

Well I hold you tight so you won't slip
Tell me am I losing my grip
At your command, I wish you'd understand.

Did I throw this all away
To have you for one more day
At your command, I gave you both my hands.

I'll be more loyal than man's best friend.
I'll be by your side 'till the very end, the very end.

I'll give you my heart and soul.
I've given you my heart just to fall.
Well I'll throw you my night and day.
For you to throw away, yeah.

the growlers - hoopity hip

Believe in the trip
The more that you learn
You find you donâ??t know shit
Quit trying to know it all
Sometimes itâ??s ok to be wrong

the growlers - i 039 ll be around

Yes, I'm only a man

the growlers - magnificent sadness

That ain't a hole, it's a furnace, in need of some matches
I can't believe how long you lived
with magnificent sadness
When so much pain's in the heart it don't seem real
Hard to believe that good
can come out of something so evil

Never too young to feel
Takes a while to heal
Never too young to feel
Trouble happens to the rich and the poor
To the prude or the downright whore
No need to know what for
Pain's nothing less than inevitable

Once he realizes it's his choice
And he could walk out, tell us of the boys
And the normal house
He started hanging with the rebel crowd
And he learned to walk proud
With the sun in his laughing mouth

Never too young to feel
Takes a while to heal
Never too young to feel
Trouble happens to the rich and the poor
To the prude or the downright whore
No need to know what for
Pain's nothing less than inevitable
The young or old don't need to know what for

He feels the courage build
Like the sunrise upon the hill
Showing hope and he can
Someday understand
