DENNIS CROMMETT GET GONE LYRICS


THREE CHEERS FOR THE WEEKEND


Three cheers for the weekend, it's about time

It feels like years, since on a friday we could unwind

and it's time to feel that free


I had dreams that sit hazy now in my mind

sometimes screams, sometimes whispers, it'll be fine

and it's time to feel so free


I got nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but time


Three cheers, or maybe ten before I go blind

If someone steers, I can hit the pedals just fine

and it's fine that I cant see


I got nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but time

I got nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but time

And it's fine to feel that free


I got nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but time

I got nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but time

And it's fine to feel that free

And it's OK to see that sea

And it's good enough to be just be

And it's fine....


Three cheers for the weekend, it's about time.

THE LUCKY TRIPLER


Good fortune follows us in time, does it not?

But I win and I lose day to day.

Put a blanket on my life, fast cash, when i scratch,

when i scratch, scratch, scratch.


My friend Bill Jocko hits sometimes, does he not?

When he wins, he loses a couple days.

She filled the driveway with all his things, and closed her eyes

and waved goodbye, goodbye, goodbye


I hope you get lucky,

1 2 3 times

and 3 2 1

I hope it becomes a life of love


Good fortune found me just in time, did it not?

I was ready to throw my chips away

she puts a blanket down, and closes her eyes

and now I'm on fire, fire, fire

ALWAYS ALMOST SUMMER


Come to bed at midnight she'd say

What happens at night disappears in the quiet of day


We said we'd stop if we started to feel

That midnight she cried, and i knew i had broken the deal


and it was always almost summer


I ran down that hall the year I lived there

One night I said talk, I just need to hear words in the air


we never went out, i invited her in

and then pulled out the rug from a real chance at love again


and it was always almost summer

it was always almost summer


then each night at nine, Leonard Cohen would spin

she'd come down to my room, sing along, to "Marianne"


she said they're no threat, those guys are my friends

she stormed out when i asked to know where the hell she had been


and it was always almost summer

it was always almost summer


and it was always almost summer

and it was never just right enough

and I always looked over my shoulder

I was always not quite in love

BABY, I NEED CALM


baby i need calm, baby i need quiet

i need to be the mist of the rain on the roof in the night


i like it when it rains, the light is gray and green

cuz the sun went away trying to get clean


the birds around me, are yelling out their songs

i want to be snow on the trees so the birds get gone

a one wing airplane, a one flower bouquet

i need to just be incomplete, while i think on change


you can't see me

because I can't be seen, i'm not clean


i wanna say nothing, and never get asked why

and like a priest fall asleep on a beach in the sky


i get close to land, the tower calls me in

i gotta take another lap, gotta graze the sand


you can't see me

because i can't be seen, i'm not clean


i need the morning, where the early birds play

i'm gonna be a worm, get a turn, get a jump on the day


if you're not broken, what is fixing for?

i'm gonna clean out the cracks, let the light in more


you can't see me

because i can't be seen, i'm not clean

and i can't see you

because i just look in the mirror, it's gotta get clearer


GET GONE


i saw a line of police on 95, they gotta get gone

i know they lost a guy in the line of fire


you dream about flying every night, get up and get gone

the only way these days you can get high


in the light of a memory i can see, the girl who got gone

she's faded like the paint on the hood of her car


nights in july, out in the field, we would get gone

i never told her how bright the stars seemed


go, a summer away

take that place, come back ok, ok


in a dream, i lie with you every night, and then you get gone

i dont know where you go in the light of the moon


i saw a line that was written in the sky, it told me get gone

now it's time to run in the dark of the waves


go, if i'm gonna stay

i gotta feel that sea, come back ok

and then go, a summer away

take that place, come back ok, ok


Nah nah nah, get gone

HARD CANDY


oh the night that you said you would come clean,

i put a quarter right into your machine, and it tumbled out


in the parking lot, before i was around

you had a long cry, it's your signature sound, thought you'd try it out


it was sweet hard candy, here until it's gone


no honey left not even for the bee

you took a long drag from a dying tree, and you blew it out


i guess you were more pigeon than dove

more sugar, cream, more cheek than love, thought you'd try it out


it was sweet hard candy, here until it's gone

i took a long hard swallow, but you didn't follow me down... you didn't come round


did i just walk by the window on your street?

you saw me walking, and now skinning my knee, what was it all about?


it was sweet hard candy, here until it's gone

i took a long hard swallow, but you didn't follow me down

and what was caught in my throat has melted now, long gone

long gone, long gone, long gone

EASY TO RUN


Was it easy to run from me? 

Did the breeze make you feel free

Like a blank from a stunt gun, was it easy to run?


You left to set your own mind at ease

While I wander in the deep trees

Now I'm free, like the wild geese, got the freedom to run


Would it be easier to call my name?

Let the years see if we feel the same

No no no, I'd rather take the blame, make it easy to run


I see youre comin around again

you just love that old where you been?

who am i to try and take a stand, when you're sick of the run


he's the wrong one


did you miss the light of my tired love?

so much light i had to cover up

you would say that it was not enough, so you needed to run


remember asking did we choose it right?

in the car, by the porch light

i said goodbye without a kiss goodnight, you made it easy to run


he's the wrong one


Was it easy to run from me? 

Did the breeze make you feel free

Like a blank from a stunt gun, was it easy to run?

he's the wrong one

TIGERS


no one was coming for him

in the darkness of the night


and reciting all the lines they

had fed him all that time 


in the silence of a closed eye, oh, i see the sun

in the water of a tired eye, further to go


and the tigers fight outside my door


no one could ever own him

in the brightness of a life


in recalling all the lines they 

had fed him for so long


and suddenly a full moon, lit up all the trees

in the clearing of a black eye, further to go


and the tigers fight outside my door

in the silent night, i'm not owned anymore


let the tiger rise inside my heart

it's the end of night, and i'm not owned anymore  

i'm not owned anymore, i'm not owned anymore, i'm not owned

SILVER AND GOLD


It's that Sunday in July, We’ve got nothing but time, Five whole days

Someone always caught my eye, A whole day goes by, before i say hey


She's just one or two cabins away, Lives across the state, But I can't think about that

How would I see her when we're home? Then the second day's gone, And I can't even drive


You my friends are gold

Silver ones at home, they can’t see inside me


Hey no i'm not swimming today, oh instead I can play, "Iko Iko" all day

It’s OK now I sleep fine, Smelling cedar or pine, even to this day


You my friends are gold

Silver ones at home, they can’t see inside me


You my friends are gold

Silver ones at home, 

You my friends are gold

You can see inside me

WE CAN ALWAYS CRY


i can't tell where the rain ends and you begin

i got nothing but heat loss, the cold got in

Is there someone i can complain to

Somebody who could drain your seas, like you drain me?


you can't tell if the sun's real or fake again

i can make it at midnight like morning got in

Is there a signal like secret sign

some way that you can know what's true, when i drain you


then the water got in, behind my eyes, that's true

then it happened to you, We can always cry


i've come to think that the rain ends where we begin

we've got nothing but time babe, for calm to get in

there's no one we can complain to

just the light across the lake and trees, and it won't break me


then the water got in, behind my eyes that's true

then it happened to you, 

we can always cry 

then the water got in, behind my eyes that's true

then it happened to you, 


then the water got in, behind my eyes that's true

then it happened to you

we can always cry          

we can always cry 

we can always cry
