AGAINST ME!
Cavalier Eternel
Chorus:
ADA
Girl, I’m sorry, but I’m leaving.
E
We’re both at fault, we’re both to blame.
ADA
It wasn’t the other men, ‘cause there were other women.
E
This just isn’t love,
AG#F#
it’s just the remorse of a loss of a feelin’.
Transcription by: The Dan Johnston

Even if I stayed, it just wouldn’t be the same.

We'll put a distance the size of the ocean
F
so now his heart can be a skipping rythem
As the cadence carries me
I almost drift away
far enough to forget
but when it comes you cannot hesitate
and when found I will write
on account and seal it in an envelope
addressed to your last known residence
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooo
and we sink and we drowned
and what is lost can never be found
well these arms did swim,
until the lungs pulled in
panic was lost in a deep understanding
that you will see what is wrong with everything
what is wrong with you and me
they make all the right reasons to fuck it up
you gotta fuck it up
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooo
(That sounded pretty good to me)
(I thought it was pretty good)

:And we rock, because it's us against them. We found our own reasons to sing.
And it's so much less confusing when lines are drawn like that,
When people are either...

Lyrics:
Please tell me why we couldn't stay
Don't let this feeling ever go away
Let this memory forever be inside of me
Through every hour of every day
It's with the company of these friends
That we drove on through the night
Behind the wheel of armageddon
We're gonna force ourselves to live
Thankful it's hurt more than we've ever felt
It's just our means to an end
And honestly we were armed with our best intentions
Maybe those intentions alone
are just enough to get us anywhere but here
In the middle of america
Six cylinders will take us further than any president
The same promises that we forgot the last time
There's no difference between staying and a bullet in the head
Maybe it's gonna come from the radio
Or the next 8 hour day
Driving to the next town
A collect call home to your best friend
We are the company we keep
We could live off of dumpsters if we have to
Sell our blood by the pint to make rent
This kind of dignity doesn't come easy
But you'll never find it for sale
If you have something to say write me martin.perner@aon.at

Lyrics:
Lost the confidence to write a song,
So I found three simple chords
And held them together with my weak voice
On an out of tune guitar
My father gave to me.
May Elvis turn in his grave
And Les Paul kiss my dirty, calloused fingers
And may the likes of this song never make
One fucking dollar,
leave it for a demo tape
To be played until it's broken,
Then remembered only for what it was.
That we gave them hell
That we gave them hell
That we gave them hell
That we gave them hell
That we gave them hell
That we gave them hell
To my friends and enemies who could of been anything,
Titans and heroes who found sruvival in cause and effect.
Behind counters,
Behind windows,
Striving just
To be people
With bitter ideals of justice.
Do we only need to keep working because it pays rent?
Sleeping under plastic stars glued to ceiling,
Muscles burning alcohol and nicotine
Every morning.
But we gave them hell
But we gave them hell
But we gave them hell
But we gave them hell
But we gave them hell
But we gave them hell
There's a height beyond skyscrapers,
There's a distance beyond the freeway,
More than pictures in a magazine,
More than tragedy in a rock and roll song.
It's more than actions you know are safe to make.
It's more than money could ever buy.
Are we working to live and die in American cities?
Living to work and die in American cities,
And dying for what we worked.
