Home and Dry

so my baby’s on the road
doing business, selling loads
charming everyone there
with the sweetest smile

oh tonight, I miss you
oh tonight, I wish you
could be here with me
but I won’t see you
’til you’ve made it back again

home and dry
home and dry

there’s a plane at JFK
to fly you back from far away
all those dark and frantic
transatlantic miles

oh tonight, I miss you
oh tonight, I wish you
could be here with me
but I won’t see you
’til you’ve made it back again

home and dry
home and dry

far away, through night and day
you fly long haul tonight
come to me
you know I’ll be here
when you call tonight

oh tonight, I miss you
oh tonight, I wish you
could be here with me
but I won’t see you
’til you’ve made it back again

home and dry
home and dry

Gonna Rise Up

Rise, lyrics by Eddie Vedder

such is the way of the world
you can never know
just where to put all your faith
and how will it go

gonna rise up
burning black holes in dark memories
gonna rise up
turn my mistakes into gold

oh such is the passage of time
too fast to fold
suddenly swallowed by signs
lo and behold

gonna rise up
find my direction magnetically
gonna rise up
throw down my ace in the hole

 

Loch Lomond, Night Bats

My attempt at transcribing the lyrics.

The night bats are lazy and they sleep all day
They only have one thing and that thing is today
But the day bats look forward and they work all day
They have their lives and they’re not allowed to play
You know their faces are nice and their hair is very long
That’s why the night bat hates day bat ’cause he do
‘Cause he do

And I know you are tired(?)
When you don’t have someone
To shame
Someone you are above

And I know you are done(?)
When you don’t have someone
To blame
Someone you’re above

The day bats are always shaking people’s hand
‘Cause they have a lot of money because they never start a band
But the night bats are always singing in a round
And bleeding money out their eyes
‘Cause they don’t believe in houses and they don’t believe in wives
That’s why the day bat hates a night bat ’cause they do
‘Cause they do

- Night Bats by Loch Lomond
