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…
Somethin' in yer eyes,
I can't even change it,
No matter how hard I try.
Yer expectation is torture.
I'm doin' the best I can.
Leave this town, to become the man.
Well, it's been entirely too long,
Since I up and left my home.
Just…
Come out!
Tonight!
Forget the reasons to say “Might!”
Stay out,
Til’ Midnight!
Don’t leave me waiting in moonlight!
I never thought, that it would end like this.
Caught in a dream, if I am than I love sleep!
Where would we go, if it…
another solid AFC RPM Brent. This one is very 'of the times' for sure. Loves the piano and drum work. And your vocals were stronger than ever, right from the gut.
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…
Franky's boat is too small for the by's

I'm headed to St. John's
To the teller…
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…
Concrete humming is underfoot
Same buzz in my veins
Ceilings pressing down against me
Heavy with more of the same
Like lime
Cut the line
A good time
And Im feeling fine
Like lime
Feel alive
A good time
Just try to survive
Teeth…

This! I'm loving this one too (my dog however seems concerned). I'm trying to imagine how you built it - the emotion of it speaks to me...haunting.
Wow...reminds me of Toasted Heretic, from a long time ago. I'm hooked.
oohhh.....even the wave pattern of the audio track is cool - like an inkblot of the song.
This is so engaging and mesmerizing. I just love how it evolves and tells a sonic story. Congrats on another RPM finish btw!
Love this one too. The bendy guitar and slight country vocals. Little bit of Lynrd Skynrd meets Built to Spill.
Back for my fourth listen. Lol! Just gotta say I love the group vocals on this one.
another solid AFC RPM Brent. This one is very 'of the times' for sure. Loves the piano and drum work. And your vocals were stronger than ever, right from the gut.
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.
cool song title! ... lol :)
"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.
Every time I have a tequila or Corona...I will be singing this song in my head :)
