1. CIDER ROAD

Top down, straight in
That's the way you want to win
Head down, play nice
All the way to paradise

Scraping and staggering until the bitter end
Oh friend, I've seen it all before
To you I implore

The only way to death
Is through the apple tree
Life is a lady's breath
Life is a mystery

Along this sacred way
We wander every day
Tehran to Tennessee
You want a piece of me now?

I am the cider king
I am the whiskey whore
I am everything
Here we go!
Along the Cider Road

I am the one
Walking beneath the sun
Condemned and free
For all eternity

I've watched your cities rise
And fall into the dust
In hatred, larceny and lust
Join it if you must

But you must remember me
When the moon is in the trees
When all your castles turn
To penitentiaries


2. POLKA NEVER DIES

Your eyes were filled with stars
So you picked up a guitar
And how the people gave
The attention that you crave
Tonight, the stage is yours
But the world has watched you rise
And fall a thousand times before
Polka never dies

So when your face is gone
The dance will carry on
And you'll rot down in your grave
With the souls you couldn't save
Tonight, the stage was yours
How they loved your moans and sighs
But oh, the reaper loved you more
Polka never dies

Come all you indie hipster darlings
And new pop country starlings,
To the main street legion hall
Look into my crystal ball

Emo, screamo, POLKA NEVER DIES
Last call, Dance hall, POLKA NEVER DIES
You'll be the first against the wall
POLKA NEVER DIES
You are the first against the wall
POLKA NEVER DIES
[Laughter ensues]


3. GINTLEMEN'S CLUB

Along the lanes of London city
Drury Lane, here we go again
We convene this fine committee
Drury Lane, here we go again
Me sons and daughters, the juniper and water
Will lead you from the slaughter
Sit down with the Gintlemen

We'll all be happy 'till we die
Gintlemen's Club, hoo aye!

Mother Mary, Aphrodite, Shiva
Drury Lane, here we go again
Won't stand up to fair Lady Geneva
Drury Lane, here we go again
Friend, I will submit this
God may be your witness
But she's your daily fitness
Sit down with the Gintlemen

When you need a topping for your wages
Drury Lane, here we go again
When you'll all be nipping at your cages
Drury Lane, here we go again
Come, you wretched creatures, the evening's triple feature
Let Old Tom be your teacher
Sit down with the Gintlemen

We'll all be happy 'till we die
Gintlemen's Club, hoo aye!

Along the lanes of London city
Drury Lane, here we go again
We convene this fine committee
Drury Lane, here we go again
Me sons and daughters, the juniper and water
Will lead you from the slaughter
Sit down with the Gintlemen

We'll all be happy 'till we die
Gintlemen's Club, hoo aye!

We'll all be happy 'till we die
Gintlemen's Club, hoo aye!


4. RANDY DANDY-O

Now we are ready to head for the Horn,
Weigh, hey, roll an' go!
Our boots an' our clothes boys are all in the pawn,
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!

Heave a pawl, oh, heave away,
Weigh, hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board an' the cable's all stored,
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!

Oh, man the stout caps'n and heave with a will,
Weigh, hey, roll an' go!
Soon we'll be drivin' her 'way up the hill.
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!

Heave a pawl, oh, heave away,
Weigh, hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board an' the cable's all stored,
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!

Heave away, bullies, ye parish-rigged bums,
Weigh, hey, roll and go!
Take yer hands from yer pockets and don't suck yer thumbs.
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!

Heave a pawl, oh, heave away,
Weigh, hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board an' the cable's all stored,
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!

Weigh, hey, roll and go!
Get crackin', me lads, it's a hell of a way!
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!

Heave a pawl, oh, heave away,
Weigh, hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board an' the cable's all stored,
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!

Heave a pawl, oh, heave away,

The anchor's on board an' the cable's all stored,
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!

6. POUTINE

I am a rover, American
A pair of green eyes, 5 ft 10
It was to be, my final dance
I rambled over La belle province
Montreal, Rimouski,
Repentigny, Chicoutimi
The light inside me is getting dim
God can't help the state I'm in

I met a man, his name was Joe
He said there's one place, you got to go
Along the mighty Saguenay
We ended up at Chez Bebe
Chez Bebe, j'ai ressaisi
La Picardie, je l'ai compris
The light inside me is getting dim
God can't help the state I'm in

Poutine poutine, poutine poutine
J'ai tellement faim, poutine poutine,
Poutine poutine, poutine poutine,
C'est ça ou rien, poutine poutine.

Good morning sky, good morning sun
My prohibition has just begun
I'll pack it in, I'll take the vow
If I have friends, I need them now
But when the sun falls in the west
I'm in the arms of a perfect mess
My only weakness, my only sin
God can't help the state I'm in

Poutine poutine, poutine poutine
J'ai tellement faim, poutine poutine,
Poutine poutine, poutine poutine,
C'est ça ou rien, poutine poutine.


7. TURBO ISLAND

'twere back in the year of 1986
I courted a maid from the wild wild west
She took I to a place where Cider's always ace
Return to Turbo Island
We'll raise the main sail
And we'll battle the gale
We're all going to hell
As we return to Turbo Island
Our ship, oh she be, a-rockin' on the sea
Our bosun be a-prayin' to the lord
My babby makes a plea, oh won't you marry me
As we return to Turbo Island
You won't find Turbo Island on any kind of a map
They said once thee's left that place there's no way to go back
We searched 'round Stoke's Croft Point, and off the old bear pit
And now that we've found the place, we'll drink like lunatics


8. BLACK SEA GALE

Seven score and seven more
Were bound for Batumi
And hardly got away before
A tempest shook the sea

Posiedon sends
Mighty hordes
Lash the sails
Strain the cords
Sing it all away,
The black sea gale-oh

To the yoeman straight away
He answered with a grin
I know not where we're going to
But I sure know where we've been

Wind comes on
Shakes the sky
We press on
Faces high
Sing it all away,
The Black Sea Gale

Odessa, we sing so loud
We sing so proud
Amidst the howling wail
Odessa, your sons are lost
Their weary bodies tossed
And pitched up to the rail
Black Sea Gale

You can take Odessa men
And shake them to the bone
But songs they learned at mother's knee
Will always bring 'em home

Linden trees
Strain and bend
Storm is gone
Rise again


9. CLAVDIA'S WALTZ

(Instrumental)


10. PAULINA

Awake tonight in the silence of the moon
Awake tonight, and I know she's coming soon
She's coming soon
The ghost of fair Paulina

I followed you 'till my shoes were rotting thin
I followed you for what you could have been
You could have been
My only Seraphima
Pallas Athena
Soren K. and his Regina

Now I have seen the deepest blue
And nothing else will do
Just you

Paulina
I've seen better days
Paulina
Since you gone away

I watched the days reflected in your eyes
The summer passed and leaves began to die
Began to die, why oh why Paulina

Heart in my throat, my little fingers crossed
I delayed, and that is how I lost
Oh how I lost
My only Seraphima
Mea Regina
Ulysses and Athena

Now I have seen the deepest blue
And nothing else will do
Just you


11. WEST COUNTRY MEN

Will I have a cider?
Will I have a scrumpy?
Turbo, Merridale, Wilkins' Cidery
Doesn't really matter much to me
I drinks it in the morning and I drinks it all the day
I own it is the finest in the land
Plain to see
The only life for me
I am a west Country man

Will I take a lady?
Sarah, Jess or Katie?
Fat hips, red lips, sweet as sugar pie
That's the type of pretty girl for I
We're rollin' in the hay, jubilee, jubilee
I own she is the fairest in the land
Plain to see
The only life for me
I am a west Country man

I'll travel far and wide
With comrades at my side
West Country is a place that you can find
But furthermore, a state of mind
So drink thee cider down
Pass the jug around,
Listen the Wurzels when you can
Live loud and free, soon enough you'll be
A real West Country Man


12. SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK

Picking up the pieces of the day
And casting them away
Walk into the town below
And lay it all so low
Waltzing with Paulina

Now all the world's asleep
With the secrets that they keep
Climb 'till your legs are tired
And your eyes are open wide
Polska Ukrayina
Polska Ukrayina, now!

Never alone, never afraid
Śliwowica under the shade
You'll greet the sun with bottles high
Your bodies pale against the sky

Zajebiście, Kurwa!
Zajebiście, Kurwa!

Up into the highest peak
Sleep is for the weak

Baltic is at your back
You'll head towards the Black
Where the river's rising high
All along the countryside
Enter the hyenas
Enter the hyenas

One for the A to the K
Two for Ascension day
Three for the dusty ground
Four for the life you've found
Polska Ukrayina
Polska Ukrayina, now
