Trench Foot Shuffle
Written by Christopher Windsor and Diesel Junkies
Get 'em on the deck
Gonna get 'em wet
Gonna walk the plank for the sake of the state that's kindly
Financed the sail
On the trail
Of the murderous scum that stole some honour from the crown
And thinks we care
Good God Almightly, Hallelujah!
And all that Jazz
We're gonna give our lives for a headless king
We're gonna do the trench foot shuffle!
Come on and do the trench foot shuffle!
Come on!
Here we are again
Couple thousand men
Women and children all sent off the blow off
Their enemies heads
For the grail
that sealed the pact between obtuse and narrow-minded
to prevail
Good God Almightly, Hallelujah!
And all that Jazz
We're gonna give our lives for a headless king
Good God Almightly, Hallelujah!
And all that Jazz
We're gonna give our lives for a headless king
We're gonna do the trench foot shuffle!
Come on and do the trench foot shuffle!
Good God Almightly, Hallelujah!
And all that Jazz
We're gonna give our lives for a headless king
We're gonna do the trench foot shuffle!
Come on and do the trench foot shuffle!
Everybody do the trench foot shuffle!
Come on!

Fire
Written by Jonathan Loiselle and Diesel Junkies
I see you from across the room
The way that you move is making it obvious
I make my way closer to you
I get in the groove you're making it dangerous
I can't do this alone
I need you here tonight
And if we start this fire slow
You know it will feel just right
Feel the fire burn inside
Let it light up your life
I wanna feel you all night
Feel the fire burn inside
The sweat is dripping down your spine
Your smile is lying while you're dancing on that floor
Move your body closer to mine
The look in your eyes is telling me you want more
You can't do this alone
You need me here tonight
If we start this fire slow
You know it will feel just right
Feel the fire burn inside
Let it light up your life
I wanna feel you all night
Feel the fire burn inside

Pavement
Written by Christopher Windsor and Diesel Junkies
I can see the city streets
They're sprawling out in front of me
The trees are green, but far away
The Pavement's grey and it's here to stay
If I never understand
Then I never have to hide
If we never have to leave this place
Then we never have to die
We can take the long way home
Fall in love between telephone poles
The cracks beneath our feet are sharp
There's always light, even after dark
If I never understand
Then I never have to hide
If we never have to leave this place
Then we never have to die
Well there's not always light in the heart of the darkness
The dirty streets can make even the sweetest fruit rotten
We've strayed too far, from our roots
And our children will pay for our forefathers' view
We came from the forest
And we left our trees
We put on clothes
And we built machines
Push the limits of science
And test the will of the gods
Human beings are nothing but organized fraud
If I never understand
Then I never have to hide
If we never have to leave this place
Then we never have to die
If I never understand
Then I never have to hide
If we never have to leave this place
Then we never have to die

Love and Poverty
Written by Christopher Windsor and Diesel Junkies
Jacky-Boy sitting down by the docks, he's got a
Heart filled with gold and a head full of rocks,
And he met a girl, he'll be marrying her some day
Times are tough, and working is down
Nobody's keeping warm in this here town
So he got a gun, he'll be marrying her someday
Everybody knows you can settle all your woes
With a cold blue steel, when it's trigger you can feel you better
Have some luck before you pull that pin
Because there's no getting out once you're done getting in.
Two years out, three lives in
Nobody's keeping count when you're betting on sin
But ol' Jacky knows, that he'll be marrying her someday
He pulls the gun from under his coat
He puts the muzzle to the back of his throat
And he, kisses it softly
Puts himself away
Everybody knows you can settle all your woes
With a cold blue steel, when it's trigger you can feel you better
Have some luck before you pull that pin
Because there's no getting out once you're done getting in.

Never Been One
Written by Christopher Windsor and Diesel Junkies
Never been one to start before
Never been one to cross the line
Never been one to take the fall
'Cause all this shit's gonna be just fine
Never been one to light the match
Never been one to take the blame
Never been one to touch the gun
We're all just zombies anyway
Walking around like we're alive
Walking around like we're not dead
Jesus better come around soon
Shoot me in the head
'Cause we all had our reasons
Had someone else to blame
We all held up our Bibles
And in wrath envied His name
Don't you ever stop to wonder
Why we can't just stop the car?
The cardboard roof is caving in and
We can't stand to get wet again
Someone's alive here
But we just can't see
Sewers overflow with pills and
We refuse
We refuse to see
Can you see the light? Can you see the light that's in front of you?
Can I see the lie? Can I see the lie that's in front of me?
Can you see the light? Can you see the light that's in front of you?
Can I see the lie? Can I see the lie that's in front of me?
Babies on the streets, their mother's always crying
She's got needles in her veins and their fathers dying
Can't get a job, no one's there to help
Take a seat a wait to leave this hell
