Consequence Free


Wouldn't it be great if no one ever got offended?
And wouldn't it be great to say what's really on your mind?
I've always said all the rules are made for bending,
And if I let my hair down, would that be such crime?


Chorus:


Oh, and I wanna be consequence free
And I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
I wanna be consequence free
Just say na na na na na ni ah ah na
Na na na na na ni ah ah na


I could really use to lose my Catholic conscience
‘Cause I getting sick of feeling guilty all the time
I won't abuse it, yeah, I got the best intentions
For one little bit of anarchy, but not the hurting kind


Chorus


I couldn't sleep at all last night
‘Cause I had so much on my mind
I'd like to leave it all behind
But you know it's not that easy
Oh for just one night


Wouldn't it be great if the band never ended
We could stay out late and we would never hear last call
We wouldn't need to worry about approval or permission
We could, slip of the edge and never worry about the fall


Chorus


Na na na na na ni ah ah na


Feel It Turn


I had a dream I was moving forward
Floating gently to the sun
Come to see my world rewarded
A new day has begun


A lost bird caught in a mid-migration
Faraway to a foreign land
Offspring of a secret nation
A new day has begun


Chorus:


Well, I can see the earth below me
And I can feel it turn
Feel it turn
Feel it turn
Feel it turn


Fog lifts to reveal potential
For generations prophesied
Our growth to se exponential
The promise is finally realized


Chorus


Feel it turn
Across the sky
The world it learns
So must I


Cut steel wired into water
Fixed links circumnavigate
Old men see your sons and daughters
No longer, no longer hesitate


Chorus


Feel it turn(repeat 'til fade)


Jack Hinks


Ah, when Jack comes ashore
He's got money galore
And he's seldom cut short of a job
He can dress now as well
As any can tell
With a good silver watch in his fob


Poor Jack in his life
Was ne'er paired with a wife
Though sometimes with lasses he links
He's a seafaring sailmate
Can gambol a caper
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks
Oh, Jack Hinks


When inclined for to spend
He walks with a friend
And with pleasure he sits himself down
He tips off his glass
And he winks at the lass
And he smiles if she happens to frown


And like a ramblin' true blue
When the rent becomes due
On the table the money he clinks
He's a seafaring sailmate
Can gambol a caper
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks


Round home the other fall
We fell into a squall
Now the northermost head of Cape Freels
We were washed away
Without further delay
At the thought how my spirit it chills


We were bashed on the rocks
Like a hard hunted fox
Of death and destruction he thinks
He's a seafaring sailmate
Can gambol a caper
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks
Oh, Jack Hinks


Jack without fail
Was out in that same gale
Having drove across Bonavist Bay
Oh Neptune did sail
As he handed all sail
And he had his two spars cut away


Oh, but Providence kind so eases the wind
And on sailors so constantly thinks
He saved
That seafaring sailmate
Can gambol a caper


That seafaring sailmate
Can gambol a caper
That seafaring sailmate
Can gambol a caper
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks


Demasduit Dream


I dreamt I saw a woman
Standing by the strand
Waiting for he people
To come in from the land
Waiting there for seven days
She built a fire in the sand
Waiting for her people
To come in from the land


She had the look of a refugee
Hiding in her eyes
And when I tried to talk to her
She answered with a cry
And pointed to the water
Out beyond the harbour line
Where a thousand ships lay waiting
They lay waiting for my sign


Chorus:


But I remember days of sunlight
With my father by side
And the children ran before us
Like the foam upon the tide


We ran like frightened partridge
When the strangers came to talk
Bringing sickness around them
And the thunder in their walk
We ran into the valleys
And we ran into the hills
The young they ran before us
Driven by a strangers will


Chorus


I'm waiting by the landwash
With the giant standing near
I see them coming always
All the children and their fear
I'm waiting on my blanket
And the giant waits with me
And I will wait here always
As they fill the endless sea


Chorus 2x


I remember days of sunlight
And I remember children
And I remember days of sunlight
I remember........


Boston and St. Johns


Girl don't tell me that it's morning
Can we keep the curtains drawn?
I haven't given you fair warning
But our ship, she sails at dawn


Chorus:

And it's true I must be going, but I swear I won't be long
There isn't that much ocean between Boston and St. John's
I'm a rover, and I'm bound to sail away
I'm a rover, can you love me anyway?


And if some suitor comes approaching
Will you let him through the door?
What if I return half broken
Will you still want me anymore?


Chorus


Close your eyes and dream and tell me what you see
Tell me what you want, just tell me that you'll wait for me
But oh, don't tell me that it's morning
Can we keep the curtains drawn?
I haven't given you fair warning
But our ship, she sails at dawn


Chorus

Love me anyway?
Love me anyway


Margarita


I see you in the front row, dancing up and down
You're ripped and ready for the night downtown
And all the pretty boys are chasing you around
Cause they all wanna win your affections


You spent three hours getting ready for the show
Nothing on underneath and everybody knows
Mama said wear a coat or catch your death of cold
What's wrong with a little flirtation?


Chorus:


And then you smile at me
Is that a wink I see?
Did I catch your eye?
Should I even try?
Oh, My Margarita(Margarita)
Like to meet you(Margarita)
Margarita(Margarita)
Think I need you(Margarita)


Take your time, dance real slow
Remember that song from the radio
Got your old man's, got a place to go
Cause we all need a little temptation


Those two big fellas are looking for a fight
It's what they like to do on a Saturday night
Maybe it's the alcohol, maybe it's the lights
But they just want to get your attention


Chorus


Talk to me , baby, it's all right
I might look strange, but I don't bite
And if you let me hold your hand
I can find a way to make you understand


Called last call, now it's time to go
But I'm not the guy who gets to walk you home
We could have made history, I guess we'll never know
I'll see you in dreams


Oh, my Margarita(Margarita)
Like to meet you(Margarita)
Margarita(Margarita)
Think I need you(Margarita)
Oh, my Margarita(Margarita)
Like to meet you(Margarita)
Margarita(Margarita)
Think I need You (Margarita)

Ferryland Sealer


Oh, our schooner and our sloop in Ferryland they do lie
They are already rigged to be bound for the ice
All you lads of the Southern we will have you to beware
She is going to the ice in the Spring of the year


Chorus:


Laddie whack fall the laddie, laddie whack fall the day


Our course be east-north-east for two days and two nights
Our captain he cried out "Boys, look ahead for the ice!"
He hove her about standing in for the land,
And ‘twas in a few hours we were firm in the jam.


Oh our captain he cried out, "Come on boys and lend a hand!"
Our cook he gets the breakfast and each man takes a dram.
With their hats in their hands it was earlye for to go,
Every man showed his action ‘thout the missing of a blow


Some were killing some were scalping, some were hauling on board,
Some more they were firing and a-missing of their loads.
In the dusk of the evening all hands in from the cold,
And we counted nine hundred fine scalps in the hold.


We are now off Cape Spear and in sight of Cape Broyle
We will dance, sing, carouse, my boys, in just a little while.
We will soon enjoy the charms of our sweethearts and friends,
But it will not be long before we're down to the bend.


Can't Stop Falling


I wasn't looking for a lover
I wasn't looking for a friend
I wasn't working undercover
I wasn't trying to pretend
But then you walked across the dance floor
Just like the moon across the sky
Then I knew that I would have to see more
I knew that I would have to try
I look into your eyes
And I realize


Chorus:


Oh no, I can't stop falling
My heart betrays me
And I know, I start to feel it all again
Won't someone save me?


Well she jumped aboard the brown line
I accidently caught her eye
She told me she was born a Libra
I told her I was Gemini
She made suggestive conversation
And she lightly brushed my hand
Overcome by her temptation
We jumped downtown by the strand
And in the English night
Oh, I realized again


Chorus


Séan:
She asked me to some inside
We could talk for a while
I wonder if I should, but the touch
Her touch it feels so good


I look into your eyes
And I realize again


Chorus


Oh no, I can't stop falling
My heart betrays me
And I know, I start to feel it all again
I must be crazy


Old Brown's Daughter


There is an ancient party at the other end of town
And he keeps a little grocery store, the ancients name is Brown
And he has a lovely daughter, such a treat I never saw
Oh I only hope someday to be the old man's son-in-law.


Well, Old Brown he sells from off his shelf most anything you please
He's got juice tarts for the little boys, lollipops and cheese
And his daughter minds the store, and it's a treat just to see her serve
I'd like to run away with her but I don't have the nerve


Chorus:


And it's old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl,
Old Brown's daughter is a fair as any pearl
I wish I were a Lord Mayor, a Marquis or and Earl
And blow me if I wouldn't marry old Brown's girl.
Blow me if I wouldn't marry old Brown's girl.


Wel,l poor old Brown now has trouble with the gout,
He grumbles in his little parlour when he can't get out
Oh and when I make a purchase, lord, and she hands me the change
That girl she makes pulverized, I feel so very strangeChorus

But Miss Brown she smiles so sweetly when I say a tender word
Ah but old brown says that she must wed a Marquis or a Lord,
And I don't suppose it's ever one of those things I will be
But by jingo next election I will run for Trinity


Chorus


I'm a Rover


Though the night be dark as dungeon, not a star to be seen above
I will be guided without a stumble, into the arms of me only love.
I went up to her bedroom window, kneeling gently upon a stone
I rapped on her bedroom window "My darling dear, do you lie alone"?


Chorus:


I'm a rover , seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
Ans when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company.


She raised her head up from her feather pillow, raised her arms up around her breast,
Saying "Who's at me bedroom window, disturbing me at me long night's rest?
"It's only me, your own true lover, open the door and please let me in.
For I have come on a long night's journey. I am near drenched to the skin".


Chorus

She opened the door with the greatest pleasure, opened the door and she let me in
We both shook hands and embraced each other. ‘Til the morning we lay as one.
"Well now me love, I must go and leave you, though the mountains be high above
Well, I will climb them with greater pleasure that I have been with me only love".


Captain Wedderburn


A noblemen's fair daughter
Came down a narrow lane.
And met with Captain Wedderburn,
The keeper of the game
Now my pretty fair miss
If it wasn't for the law,
You and I in the bed might lie
Roll me over next to the wall
Roll me over next to the wall


Now, my dear good man, she said
Do not be perplexed
Before that you might bed with me
You must answer questions six.
Six questions you must answer me,
And I will ask them all
And you and I in the bed might lie
Roll me over next to the wall
Roll me over next to the wall


What is rounder than a ring,
And higher than the trees?
And what is worse than a woman's curse,
And what is deeper than the sea?
What bird sings first, which one's best?
Where does the dew first fall
And you and I in a bed might lie
Roll me over next to the wall
Roll me over next to the wall


The earth is rounder than a ring,
And heaven is higher than the trees,
The devil curse is worse than a woman's curse,
And hell in deeper than the sea
The lark sings first, the thrush sings best,
Earth is where the dew falls
And you and I in a bed might lie
Roll me over next to the wall
You and I in the bed might lie
Roll me over next to the wall
Roll me over next to the wall


He takes her by her lily-white hand
And leads her down the hall
And he takes her by her slender waist
For fear that she might fall
And he lays her on a bed of down
Without a doubt at all
And he and she lie in one bed
Roll me over next to the wall
And she and he lie in one bed
Roll me over next to the wall
Roll me over next to the wall
Roll me over next to the wall


Bad As I Am


Here I go again
My heart's on the line
I'm willing to pretend
One more time
I got some life to spend
On even rhymes
But when I reach the end
Will you, will you, will you be mine


Chorus:


This time I know your not the answer to my prayer
And I have grown with each disappointment through the years
And as bad as I am, and as bad as I am
I'm still here.


On the road again
I've paid a fine
Where now is the friend
I leave, I leave, I leave behind


I'm goin' round the bend
One more climb
But when I reach the end
Will you, will you, will you be mine


This time I know your not the answer to my prayer
And I have grown with each disappointment through the years
And as bad as I am, and as bad as I am, and as bad as I am
I'm still here.


This time I know your not the answer to my prayer
And I have grown with each disappointment through the years
And as bad as I am, and as bad as I am, and as bad as I am
I'm still here.


I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
