Dead Sea

The Lumineers

I stood alone, upon the platform in vain;
The Puerto Ricans they were playing the salsa in the rain,
With open doors and manual locks,
In fast food parking lots.

I headed West, I was a man on the move;
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth.
Oh, I need somebody; I needed someone I could trust.
I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us

Like the Dead Sea;
You told me I was like the Dead Sea.
You'll never sink when you are with me;
Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea.

Oh, I'm like the Dead Sea;
The finest words you ever said to me.
Honey can't you see,
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea.

You told me you were good at running away;
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase.
You left with just the clothes on your back;
You took the rest when you took the map.

Yes, there are times we live for somebody else;
Your father died and you decided to live
It for yourself; you felt, you just felt it was time.
And I'm glad, cause you with cats, that's just not right.

Like the Dead Sea;
You told me I was like the Dead Sea.
You'll never sink when you are with me.
Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea.

Oh, I'm like the Dead Sea;
The nicest words you ever said to me.
Honey can't you see
I was born to be, be your dead sea

I been down, I've been defeated;
You're the message I was heeding.
Would you stay,
Would you stay the night?

Dead Sea,
Told me I was like the Dead Sea;
Never sink when you are with me.
Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea.

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea;
The finest words you ever said to me.
No need to move your feet so quickly.
Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea.

Leland Stanford Junior Farm

My eyes are dim I can not see
I have not brought my specks with me
I have, hey, not, ho, brought my specks with me.

Oh it's beer, beer, beer that makes you want to cheer
On the farm, on the farm
It's beer, beer, beer that makes you want to cheer
On the Leland Stanford Junior Farm.

My eyes are dim I can not see
I have not brought my specks with me
I have, hey, not, ho, brought my specks with me.

Well it's gin, gin, gin that makes you want to sin
On the farm, on the farm
It's gin, gin, gin that makes you want to sin
On the Leland Stanford Junior Farm.

Chorus

It's whisky, whisky, whisky that makes you feel so frisky
On the farm, etc.

It's hot roast duck that makes you want a ...... SANDWICH
On the farm, on the farm.
Oh, it's hot roast duck that makes you want a sandwich
On the Leland Stanford Junior Farm.

 

"Count On Me" - Bruno Mars

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you

Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two, and you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Wooooh, Wooooh
yeah Yeah

If you toss and you turn and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will remind you

Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two, and you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Wooooh, Wooooh
yeah Yeah

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go, never say goodbye

You know you can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two, and you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Wooooh, Wooooh

You can count on me 'cause I can count on you
