Amongst no strangers here, the house on Jubilee You’ll meet some foggy folk, some gentlemen and me But by the end if we’re not friends you’ll surely see The sweetness found in our fine company And bros with baseball caps and aviators on Will flip their collars down and join us in a song The bros with cut-up cords will join them arm in arm While belting out the words they know they’re wrong To show the world their weekend’s bliss The girls will take their instant pics But here the Internet won’t matter While staying up all night together The Beast Coast is the place for me! With every bottle opened there’s adventure being born But someone’s in our backyard and their puking up a storm The room is sweating hot Your manliness seems lost So sissy drinks go in the sink tonight we’re drinking scotch! The rumours on the dance floor say the Purple House is dead But everyone’s still flocking to the party here instead Whilst upstairs strangers bone And downstairs folks get stoned And in between we’re dancing to the college radio Who’s ever heard of noise complaints? Who’s ever heard of pain? Fury from a broken blender doesn’t match the fame From hosting grateful guests We’re never gonna rest Until I’ve loved you all enough to know who I detest The cocaine on the table paints a picture of dismay The motto goes, “to each their own”, but cops on their way Like rabid dogs at pounds The house will be put down So open up your wallets, at the bar we need some rounds! We tried our best to go on like this You’d lost your faith and I, I lost my taste in trying hard I’m running barefoot through the yard But thinking back to that bar I called home I miss the beaches on that coast, that Eastern coast I used to roam And walked them all night on my own We sat upon a throne I thought we ruled And made up laws that don’t exist Down at the Beast Coast I was a fool Some wielder of unsharpened tools The days were mild but those nights were bold So many homes in strangers’ cold backyards, we weren’t afraid Of living carefree on the stage But I was afraid of braking knowing I’ve no brakes!

Heading East, going to sleep Tired eyes, I can’t read No bed and no rest Sore feet, is all that’s left No more walks, let’s just talk On the empty block Heading East, going to reach My friends, we won’t sleep No more runs, lay in the sun Listen to ‘Twon, some silly drunk fun Back with the ‘Whalz, friends and all Remember the waterfall Hands less coarse, a funny sort Strong and kind, a little sea horse My belly’s full of ice and my soul Is taught by, who’s better than a sheep or bull? Now we can go, we don’t walk in a row We throw off our boots, so we can act like fools Learn to love, taught by a chinchilla Play don’t scorn, a wise unicorn

The king of poetry the champion of love Spraying mantis slayer but as playful as a dove A dove tripping on ecstasy; a strong hallucinant Chasing after girls whose occupation is heartbreak The times he spends alone in clubs in Hull or Montreal Hoping pretty strangers will approach him at the bar Exchanging home phone numbers for a smile and a wink He then asks the bartender for another round of drinks But rushes to the bathroom to go vomit in the sink He spends his nights alone in there without a soul I think A Rolodex of badly thought out series of excuses He flips through them every night wondering which one fits his uses We doubt he’ll even come back home To the city where he knows he belongs But for now we’ll keep in contact while his friends are staying coastal While he’s out making music boasting talent, oh so local He doesn’t even like their songs And I know he’s craving ripping some bong They’re oftentimes heard calling him a jester and a thief But he’s the king of joking and a robber of our grief A dangerous combination when you host radio shows Interviewing artists whose songs don’t compare to yours And featuring those shitty lyrics you’d never compose We wait for you with patience ‘til you musically explode We love the man to death you see in his own special way His company is precious and we hope today’s the day Where we’ll see his handsome face again walk through my basement door And maybe play some songs with us just like the times before! A Rolodex of badly thought out series of excuses He threw it out late last night since it’s just another nuisance ‘Cause tonight Dieter’s coming home To the city where he knows he belongs He’s packed up all his bags to join his friends who all live coastal He’s learning shanty sea songs so he’ll fit in with the locals “Barrett’s Privateers” all night long The one and only Black Sheep Son We miss the man all day, all night long He doesn’t even like this song! And I know he’s craving ripping some bong! Black Sheep Son, this is your home It’s no Montreal, nor back in Stowe But it’s with your friends, wherever we go Be it Halifax, or Peterborough

I can stand Looking handsome tall and brave Suited up and not afraid To drink tons and make mistakes When I stumble on inside I was pleasantly surprised By your soft and now closed eyes You’re asleep by my bedside You know I would never lie About these parties when I’m out with these guys Still – Don’t you think it’s a little bit absurd? I’m on tables, vision blurred Dancing to a song I heard That unsubtly implies We should all take drugs then die I’m sure pleasantly surprised We’re alive after these nights But the hangover arrives And we’re forced to pay the price From these social nights with strangers! My life here is in danger! I wish you’d whisk me away From this fortune and this fame and these guys Don’t you worry about the summer I’ll take small steps, town by town Singing songs so mild and tender No more bartenders Tables stained by pitchers Or clothes piled in the dresser I won’t leave you behind! Here I stand looking handsome tall and brave One last chance to prove my ways! These wolves howl when the full moon rises It pleasantly surprises Your prey puts on disguises You’re buried in devices To tranquilize your pain! I think this was in my dream Except I’m not this asleep And the girls are fully clothed Except not for long let’s hope I think you were in my dream Salmon fishing by the sea Except now you’re wearing clothes In my dream you said you don’t I heard I was in your dream! Sailing sailboats on the sea Surfing on the waves on boats You’re just dreaming I suppose I was pleasantly surprised To wake up and see those eyes Not too sure if we’re at home You’re not dreaming we’re alone

Didn’t know this was the way it went before Didn’t go just played games and ignored The way she looked and her stance on the floor I glanced but now she’s out the door I think you guessed right Haven’t seen my friends for a couple nights So this is what I write: Some shitty lyrics She was so pretty And I just wanted a kiss on her lips But she slipped right through me She was so hot And I just wanted to love her lips But she walked right past me I think you guessed right Haven’t seem my friends for a couple nights So this is what I write: Some shitty lyrics

We've been friends for a long time But I look at you now and I wish that you were mine The dress that you wore is now lying on the floor And we can't go back You look so good with your clothes off You look so good with no clothes on Please don't you say that we are lost We're not lost I've just come across our love And it’s sweet, and it’s bitter and it’s true I do love you I saw you as a child you took my breath away No more than 6 years old, I did not know what to say Now we're full grown and we're living on our own You'll never be alone You look so good with your clothes off You look so good with no clothes on Please don't you say that we are lost We're not lost I’ve just come across our love And it’s sweet, and it’s bitter and it’s true I do love you You look so good with your clothes off You look so good with no clothes on Please don't you say that we are lost We're not lost I’ve just come across our love And it’s sweet, and it’s bitter and it’s true I do love you I saw you in a light I had never seen before Just like a shining knight from the golden days of yore You say it was the booze but I know just what you feel He keeps you safe and warm but we both know it’s not real! You look so good with your clothes off! You look so good with no clothes on! Please don't you say that we are lost! We’re not lost

Bring up some college kids With beers enough to fill the kitchen fridge I don't care how much it is This one's on me Hire up a four-piece band From a far off foreign land Hey kid, ain't this grand? Let's have a ball And drink them all! And drink them all! And drink them all! Make me feel like a younger man More worthy of your beach girl tan Well it seems I'm too drunk to stand Let's lie down for a while I just need to be set free Keg stand! Who will challenge me? By now it should be plain to see I'm still lot of fun And just sixty years young! And just sixty years young! And just sixty years young! But then the mariachi band Started getting out of hand With some girls who were much too young! And the kids were all dismayed At the scene the man made When he was told to put away his gun! 'Cause that's not much fun! Bring up some college kids! Will someone tell me whose house this is? I don't want to know what I did! Just let me be! Oh I know I’ve gotta go away! Feed my dog for me every day! I know that there's a time to play And a time to run! And just sixty years young! And just sixty years young!! And just sixty years young!!!
