Chris Garneau Lyrics
Baby's Romance The baby's sleeping in the crib up top And baby's sleeping…
Between the bars Drink up baby Stay up all night The things you could do You…
Black & Blue Air-conditioning is cold Summers hot and love is old I wish …
Blue Suede Shoes I hope you don't go away I still have some nice…
Castle-Time Men doing men thing times Chewing candy and tabacco lines Dr…
First Place!!! You have killed them And you don't know why Your lips, they…
Halloween I'm sorry, he brought us there, Me crying in my underwear On…
Hymn Try and think of nice things to say Or I might…
Not Nice Always so still, I never will, be like you. And you…
Relief I saw the sea come in I saw your good old…
Sad News I should have killed you myself It was always a dream…
Saturday All the time in the world, Is lying right beside me But…
So Far Like the touch of my mother's hand on my head I'll…
We Don't Try You say you wanna die 'Cause the things don't work out…
