Franky's boat is too small for the by's
You could maybe hold a lobster pot
Or a seal for flipper pie
We need to bring in more than this and I'm not gonna lie
Franky's boat is too small for the by's
I'm headed to St. John's
To the teller…
Well it's last call at The Starlite Lounge
And she's up on stage and she won't get down
And the wallflowers order up one more round
She want's to stay up and play
And from their brows the sweat does pour
Well the temperature must be 34…

We set out from the harbour
Rigging's made of twine
Seagulls laughing overhead
While the wind was of two minds
Would it blow us on to glory
Or drown us in the tide
Take us along for the ride
Would it take us along for the ride
Don't…
Well we calls him Uncle Joe and he lives 60 miles away
Walking in to town to work, the ice fills in the bay
Well I likes to get me drop of stuff, no money I got to pay
But I got this earthen jug and it won't go astray
A quart of water in…
There's a stretch of shore that the old men know
Where the waves they rumble and long swells roll
Flakes stand tall and the cod lay white
Dried by the sun and the ocean's sweet bite
They call it a room not for walls nor doors
A fisherman…
I'm not a pirate I'm a privateer
I'm not a pirate I'm a privateer
And you should probably stay away from here for now
Cause all I'm trying to do is blend in with the crowd
At first I did it to protect the fleet
I'd bomb, I'd pillage, I…
Well one fine morning I went out
To the docks to get a feed
There was Skipper Thomas Payne
With a bucket of fish from the sea
So I emptied out me wallet
"Sir will this cover your fee"?
He said "No my'son it won't buy the lot,
Not even by…
Some go North, some go East
Go by boat, go by feet
I'm a handler
Mend your nets, give relief
Fix your house, pull your teeth
I'm spread pretty thin
Here we go boys, through the overflow boys
Just with the clothes on our back
I said…
I am the missing link
Between the green and pink
Oh the whites of their eyes, wide with surprise
Well what must people think
When they see me on the floor
Running around the store
Well I'spose that fashion's never been this fast before…
All the by's down by the cove
Where the fish is dried and the boats are tied
They fights about where the lights should go
All the by's down by the cove
Well we had a fire back in '92
And the slums survived and the shops all died
And the…
I'm a boy from down the Valley
I'm Codroy to the bone
I makes a livin' drivin' rigs and now I got me own
I calls her "The First Lady", a beauty to behold
We'll load her up and haul her out from every stage and store
The Starlite in me rearview…
everybody's waiting for the light
but we don't need the sun to show our bright side
strip away the veil before your eyes
wading in with nothing on our minds
good morning swimmers
if you should respond to our invite
you may even come…
we can see all the damage done
well you might be the lucky one
i can see where you're coming from
you just might be the fortunate one
this is my final run, this is
i can breathe when the race is run
and i might be the only one
you can…
Don't shiver when it's cold outside
Don't confuse a sense of place with pride
We're first to see by the dawn's early light
From the desk of Mr. Hortense Binette
Change the stationary header make it say

when i was telling all the other kids i was 13
the hotel has a pool, it has a couple of vending machines
with all my story telling done, i went home to mow the lawn
i fell under the blades and now my summer dreams are gone
that's just one…
spoon full of sugar in the mouth
far too sweet had to spit it out
now by bitterness replace
a winterfresh, peppermint taste
it still lingers on your breath
on your lips, the kiss of death
so have another piece of cake

Hey, can I see the little treasure that you found?
Tell me where did you find it, was it lying on the ground?
Well this treasure that I found was just lying on the ground
Out in the pouring rain
Tell me, from me to you, what's it going to…
in a deck of 52
dressed to the 9's in red and black suits
4 kings to give the orders
all absent minded fathers
4 queens to run for cover
forever missing mothers
2 jokers, they're the brothers
one in monochrome, the other full colour…
I'm wishing someone can go for a ride
I'm wishing, I'm wishing you well
I've got something that's growing inside
I'm hoping, I'm hoping I'm well
we got no backbone
we got no soul
we've got no back-up plan
no one can know
why you go rushing…
rpm 2011
Like to feel the falling rain
Shed my brittle skin
Maybe hard enough to face tomorrow
Find out soon enough, find out soon enough
And the river is clean enough to touch
And it washes away the bitterness
Cleaner than the falling snow
Melting…

Taking taking all her sweat

Taking taking all her love
Taking taking all her life

Friends hate you in every way
You fuck them over every day
Jobless homeless knocked up too
Revolving cycle is what you do
2 cars on blocks in the front yard
Complain how life is really hard
Think you don’t deserve this pain…
rpm 2011
I don't want to wake up
Don't want to watch tv
Don't want to go to work
No desire to read
Don't want to take out the trash
Don't want to take off my shades
Don't want to mow the yard
I've got better things to do
Surfin round…
rpm 2011
Making music everyday alone in my dark hole
Pumping out my silliness for not a single soul
Stinking up the internets with links to stupid songs
Oblivious that no one clicks and no one sings along
There's a word for people like…
rpm 2011
99 bottles 99 beers
99 shots 99 tears
99 whisky rocks 88 gin martinis
99 run & cokes 99 margaritas
99 splitting hangovers 99 gallons of puke all over
I could sing this song all day, but I need another drink
99 bottles 99 bears

I thought god was watchin me
Believed in grand divinity
The holy ghost and jesus too
Cause that’s what all the good boys do
Lies (it’s all)
Went to church and Sunday school
Called all the unbelievers fools
But just like santa and…

Black is white and up is down
Flying high stuck on the ground
Open your mouth to say one thing
You always do the opposite
Hypocrite, can’t you see
Hypocrite, you and me
Hypocrite, all we do
Hypocrite, me and you
Do as I say but not…
done in 2006. simple, keeping the objective of 'spaces' throughout the recording.
certainly not the most endearing song, but i like parts of it.
this song, among a few others (thisisntsomthingyoucancatch) were songs that i lost all my un…
A prototype. I recorded the banjo parts myself and the rest is all arranged in Logic. The mandolin that comes in halfway through is a chopped up loop until I can find a mandolin to record my own solo.
the first done song from "the Hardest Blow" featuring vocals from Keith Martin.
If you're waiting for the fall
If you’re pushing on the wall
If you’re listening for the call
It’s not coming
If you’re pushing on the wall
If you’re listening…
from the album "the Hardest Blow" featuring vocalist Marc Poirier
There are no promises to keep, whisper through
Telling secrets in my sleep, whisper through
Revelations sounds a whole lot meaner than it is
And I can tell you get impressed…
from the album "orange"
Remember me, remember me, the way to sweet serenity
Forgetting makes it easier inside
Broken dreams and empty minds, the loves that we have left behind
Forgotten now we've nothing left to hide
And oh the places…
Comments on am/fm dreams's stuff
Wow...reminds me of Toasted Heretic, from a long time ago. I'm hooked.
Tight end to a tight album. Applause. Shoutout to Mel on the album art.
AGAIN, instant smile! Marc got a way about him when he's given' er on the mic.
Is this your single? This feels like the quintessential Am/Fm single. I hear the last 20 years in this one.
This makes me smile immediately. Is that a recorder? A picolo? Lol. This album is tight.
The spanish room lines at the ends sang slower is a physical feeling. Yes, more.
I didn't have to read the credits to know who wrote this one. :P "Honest man with a good business plan." Oh ya, that's Marc.
Whoever sat behind the drums for this one...Claps. Human metronome.
Makes me think Dropkick Murphys. It's a jam! Good mix too, that acoustic adlib sitting in my right ear occasionally, is scratching a spot.
"Metal trees grew earthly goods". Yep, this is a poet driven album I see. Very nice.
Harmony for some punctuated parts is a nice touch. This one got me boppin'.
I broke my neck listening to this. Eminem got you on call? Fast and clean! 18 wheels of commerce is fantastic weavery.
Oh yes.. And a mighty fine RPM guys... well done!
Oh yeah... nice
This one jumped out at me.
I'm having to look up words with this RPM! :)
Love the groove on this one. I can almost feel like I'm in the room while you guys are playing it.
WOAH! What an opener
This just came up on the Newfoundland Party feed. So catchy. Good job folks.
