Well I’ve drunk to drown, on every ocean I’ve been Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen’s land Well I drank with the Sultan, down the Suez Canal Cause Every Dog Has Its Day Like every woman, she gets her own way And if there’s a ship that sails tonight I’ll captain that too, just to be there with you Well there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a mule Spillblood Maloney had a head like one too That night on the bridge, with my shovel in hand Well he threatened to kill me, for sure he picked the wrong man Cause Every Dog Has Its Day Like every woman, she gets her own way And if there’s a ship that sails tonight I’ll captain that too, just to be there with you Well there was mutiny in Lagos, aboard the mean ship Skondi Ten or twelve days in prison, till the bastards set me free McCloskey you’re free Cause Every Dog Has Its Day Like every woman, she gets her own way And if there’s a ship that sails tonight I’ll captain that too, just to be there with you Now I love the sea and she wants me back So I leave this ol’ harbor, with the wind at my back Goodbye mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle down I must head for the Chinas, pray to God I don’t drown For Every Dog Has Its Day Like every woman, she gets her own way And if there’s a ship that sails tonight I’ll captain that too Cause Every Dog Has Its Day Like every woman, she gets her own way And if there’s a ship that sails tonight I’ll captain that too, just to be there with you

Selfish Man 02:58
I don't eat I just devour, everyone in every hour All is me, is all I need and that's all that I care Propelled through all this madness, by your beauty and my sadness I'll never change or rearrange, till I've finished what I've started. And life leads me here It shows me, I have never really loved no one but me Like the time, you slipped through my hands I'll never understand why I'm such a Selfish Man Walk around me not before me I'll pretend not to ignore ye But I'll compromise if I realize you can do something for me I'm ugly and you know it, but you think that I'm a poet So I'll keep the rhyme if I feel in time, it gets me where I'm going And life leads me here It shows me, I have never really loved no one but me Like the time, you slipped through my hands And I'll never understand No I'll never understand, why I'm such a Selfish Man All I heard was an unearthly silence Apart from the violence, explode in my head Where all at once was this moment of beauty No more since it slew me, no never again, again, again No I'll never understand No I'll never understand, why I'm such a Selfish Man

I would wrap the world in clover But you make me see my way And I would die for you tomorrow Would you come to me today? Sing a song of sadness about the girl with the happy face And dance upon the water with a ripple or a trace Love is here any cloud in the sky Would you be my flushing bride? I don't think so But I never met a girl like, I never met a girl like, I never met a girl like you before I'd climb the highest mountain To the sunrise from your face Light a million candles To flicker to your name Scream aloud with vengeance With the wind beneath my breath Do you understand the madness? Do you recognize the grace? Love is here any cloud in the sky Would you be my flushing bride? I don't think so But I never met a girl like I never met a girl like I never met a girl like I never met a girl like you before, Oh no I never met a girl like you before Oh no I never met a girl like you before I'd surely die and liro Waiting for your every call Will I ever see your sunshine? When I'm done playing it all A boy with no companion Lost for baby blue Words more then mean it When they count for one like you Love is here any cloud in the sky Would you be my flushing bride? I don't think so But I never met a girl like I never met a girl like I never met a girl like I never met a girl like you before, Oh I never met a girl like Never met a girl like Never met a girl like you before Oh no I never met a girl like you before Oh no I never met a girl like you before Oh no I never met a girl like you before

Laura 04:38
This next song is about a young lady called Laura Who unfortunately isn't with us anymore But she's still called Laura ...Here we go... Feel the words from my lips To your harsh finger tips Then you know where I come from Cause I know, yes I know Everything there is to know Cause I lost everything I had You see I, I could have danced on the sun But my world came undone (Laura) Laura! There's no need for tears Cause there's no need to cry The love that you leave Will never be left behind This pain in my head comes straight from my heart No woman alive could touch who you were So bye, bye Laura There's no one could take your place Bye, bye Laura Your beauty will never fade The seed that you sewn Now reachs for the sky The song that you leave Will never beat at night And after this song, her spirit lives on Though your not around you'll never be gone So bye, bye Laura Cause no one can take your place Bye, bye Laura Your beauty will never fade But I... I could have danced on the sun But my world came undone Laura Yeah, I... I could have danced on the sun But my world came undone So, bye bye Laura Yeah, bye bye Laura This pain in my head comes straight from my heart No woman alive could touch who you were So bye, bye Laura There's no one could take your place Your beauty will never fade So bye, bye Laura There's no one could take your place Bye, bye Laura Your beauty will never fade Fade! Yeah!

If I ever leave this world alive I'll thank for all the things you did in my life If I ever leave this world alive I'll come back down and sit beside your feet tonight Wherever I am you'll always be More than just a memory If I ever leave this world alive If I ever leave this world alive I'll take on all the sadness That I left behind If I ever leave this world alive The madness that you feel will soon subside So in a word don't shed a tear I'll be here when it all gets weird If I ever leave this world alive So when in doubt just call my name Just before you go insane If I ever leave this world Hey I may never leave this world But if I ever leave this world alive She says I'm okay; I'm alright, Though you have gone from my life You said that it would, Now everything should be all right She says I'm okay; I'm alright, Though you have gone from my life You said that it would, Now everything should be all right Yeah should be alright

I want to believe in myself once again So I dream of a man whose hopes never end To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you I'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth And for every tear that is lost from an eye I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy I want to believe in a freedom that's bold But all I remember is the freedom of old Well I lost me a wife, so I found me a plane Flew all the way to California This mess in my head is a mess getting out Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout But after a while, when my mouth's not so dry I'll dance up a storm, sure life's looking fine But as darkness falls, I return to my bed Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head I've been down in this world, down and almost broken Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe I've been down in this world, down and almost broken As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule The buildings they shake but my heart it beats still Oh mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill I want to go home where my feet both feel safe But there ain't no jobs in the old free state So I must remain in my new adopted land I'm doing the best, Hell I'm doin' all I can So next time you see me, don't ask for my name For I am the King and sure long may I reign I've been down in this world, down and almost broken Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe I've been down in this world, down and almost broken As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule I've been down in this world, down and almost broken Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe I've been down in this world, down and almost broken As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule

It's late and she is waiting, and I know I must go home, But every time I start to leave, they play another song, Then someone buys another round and whatever drinks are free, What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me. Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before, She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors, Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see, What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me. Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before, She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors, Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see, What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me. What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me, What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me. What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.

1-2-3-4 Between a man and a woman Life begins again Between love and confusion There lies only pain Take my world, heal my soul, shake my pride, I'm too proud to let go. Give me the sun And the moon above The stars should fall Only heaven knows Between a man and a woman It's everything or nothing at all Everything or nothing at all In a rhyme or a reason Will make us think the same You tell me I'm half crazy But you're insane Take my world, heal my soul, shake my pride, I'm too proud to let go. Give me the sun And the moon above The stars should fall Only heaven knows Between a man and a woman It's everything or nothing at all Everything or nothing at all [| From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/f/flogging-molly-lyrics/between-a-man-and-a-woman-lyrics.html |] She said love me like you did You did before He says love me like you did You did once more Between a man and a woman It's everything or nothing at all Everything or nothing at all Take my world, heal my soul, shake my pride, I'm too proud to let go. Give me the sun And the moon above The stars should fall Only heaven knows Take my world, heal my soul, shake my pride, I'm too proud to let go. Give me the sun And the moon above The stars should fall Only heaven knows Between a man and a woman It's everything or nothing at all Everything or nothing at all Everything or nothing at all Everything or nothing at all

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind She was my woman As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind My, my, my, Delilah Why, why, why, Delilah I could see that girl was no good for me But I was lost like a slave that no man could free At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting I cross the street to her house and she opened the door She stood there laughing But I held a knife in my hand and she laughed no more My, my, my Delilah Why, why, why Delilah So before they come to break down the door Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more [trumpet solo here] She stood there laughing But I held a knife in my hand and she laughed no more My, my, my, Delilah Why, why, why, Delilah So before they come to break down the door Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
