*Verse 1* Every night in the tavern, I see them all, Laughing and drinking, having a ball. Nicola’s smile, it lights up the room, With Sean at my feet, chasing the broom. Jeff and Gary, they’re always near, Sharing a pint, spreading good cheer. The pool table’s busy on Sunday night, And poker on Monday feels just right. *Chorus* My tavern will go on, Through quizzes and pints, it’s never gone. Five pounds on Friday, the crowd’s alive, Saturday’s buzzing, we’re thriving and jive. San Miguel in hand, the staff’s the best, In Barnstaple’s tavern, we’re truly blessed. My tavern will go on, and on, and on… *Verse 2* Tuesday nights, the quizzes begin, Teams are laughing, everyone wins. Nicola’s by my side, my guiding light, Together we keep the mood just right. Sean’s wagging tail, he’s part of the crew, Jeff and Gary, they’re loyal and true. The pool cues click, the cards are dealt, In this little tavern, there’s no one else. *Chorus* My tavern will go on, Through quizzes and pints, it’s never gone. Five pounds on Friday, the crowd’s alive, Saturday’s buzzing, we’re thriving and jive. San Miguel in hand, the staff’s the best, In Barnstaple’s tavern, we’re truly blessed. My tavern will go on, and on, and on… *Bridge* Near, far, wherever they are, The locals come, from near and far. The bar is warm, the laughter’s strong, In this little tavern, we all belong. Nicola’s love, it keeps me strong, With Sean by my side, we can’t go wrong. Jeff and Gary, they’re always here, With every pint, we conquer fear. *Chorus* My tavern will go on, Through quizzes and pints, it’s never gone. Five pounds on Friday, the crowd’s alive, Saturday’s buzzing, we’re thriving and jive. San Miguel in hand, the staff’s the best, In Barnstaple’s tavern, we’re truly blessed. My tavern will go on, and on, and on… *Outro* My tavern will go on, Through laughter and love, it’s never gone. With Nicola, Sean, Jeff, and Gary too, This little tavern’s a dream come true. My tavern will go on, and on, and on....

[Verse] The faucet’s dripping all through the night Buckets fill with guilt in pale moonlight The streets run wet but no gardens grow San Ángel whispers Where did it go [Verse 2] Sprinklers spin when it’s pouring rain Wide-open taps like an old refrain The river’s dry but the waste runs deep Dreams of the thirsty They sing in sleep [Chorus] Got no flow Got no soul San Ángel's thirst has taken its toll Where does it stop Where does it end If we keep losing what we won’t defend [Verse 3] Pipes burst proud under cracked asphalt But who’s to blame And who’s at fault The water’s voice is a sob and plea Begging for care Not apathy [Bridge] Gutters mimic a weeping sky Plastic bottles for wells run dry The cycle breaks The dam won’t mend How much is left that we can spend [Chorus] Got no flow Got no soul San Ángel's thirst has taken its toll Where does it stop Where does it end If we keep losing what we won’t defend

*(Verse 1)* Oh, poor little Neil, in the pond he would glide, But the ducks all sneered, said, “You’re ugly inside.” With his warty brown skin and his slow, clumsy crawl, Neil dreamed of a day he’d be loved by them all. *(Chorus)* But Neil grew older, and his dreams turned to dust, No swan in the making, just a slug in the mud. The ducks flew away, and the pond turned to sludge, Neil’s not a duckling—he’s an uglier slug. *(Verse 2)* One day by the shore, Neil met Lola the gull, Her feathers were silver, her voice beautiful. She soared through the sky with a laugh soft and sweet, And Neil fell in love at the sound of her feet. *(Chorus)* Oh, Neil grew hopeful, though his heart was still scarred, He dreamed Lola might love him, though life had been hard. But the world’s cruel and cold, and the pond’s turned to sludge, Neil’s not a duckling—he’s an uglier slug. *(Bridge)* He’d leave her small gifts—bits of seaweed and shell, And whisper his love where the seagulls would dwell. But Lola just laughed, with a glint in her eye, “You’re nothing but dinner,” she said with a sigh. *(Verse 3)* One fateful gray morning, as the tide rolled in, Neil crawled to the shore, where his love might begin. But Lola swooped down, with a hunger so cruel, And Neil’s final thought was, “At least I’m her fuel.” *(Final Chorus)* Oh, Neil’s life was fleeting, and his dreams turned to dust, No swan in the making, just a slug in the mud. Lola flew onward, and the pond turned to sludge, Neil’s not a duckling—he’s an uglier slug. *(Outro)* So here’s to poor Neil, who loved with his heart, A slug in the shadows, torn right apart. The tale of the duckling was never his fate, Just a love that was lost, and a cruel, bitter plate.

[Verse] The wind it tells a secret tale In pines that whisper never fail A heart that's lost but seeks the sun The wanderer's search has just begun [Verse 2] Feet on soil hearts on fire Dreams in ashes yet climb higher Mountains call with echoes deep A love to find a life to keep [Chorus] Whispers in the pines they sing Of hope of love of everything The melody so soft and light Guides me through the darkest night [Verse 3] A stream flows gentle down the hill Its laughter promises a thrill The journey's rhythm keeps its pace With every step I find my grace [Bridge] The moonlight dances through the trees It bends it bows it begs to please A symphony of stars above Reminds the heart of lasting love [Chorus] Whispers in the pines they sing Of hope of love of everything The melody so soft and light Guides me through the darkest night

Oh, Mike Jordan’s the man with the tavern in town, In Barnstaple he’s known, but his luck’s runnin’ down. On Mondays he gathers ‘round the table to play, With Danny, Stacey, Matt, Bailey, Ryan, and Sam—oh what a day! *(Chorus)* Oh, Mike Jordan, he’s the man with the plan, But his pet Sean goes all in, ruins his hand! He’s losin’ his chips, losin’ his respect, And Nicola sends him to bed, oh what the heck! Now Mike’s got a strategy, he’s sharp as a knife, But Sean’s at the table, causin’ trouble and strife. “Fold!” cries Mike, but Sean’s got no clue, He pushes his chips, and Mike’s feelin’ blue. *(Chorus)* Oh, Mike Jordan, he’s the man with the plan, But his pet Sean goes all in, ruins his hand! He’s losin’ his chips, losin’ his respect, And Nicola sends him to bed, oh what the heck! Danny’s got a straight, Stacey’s got a pair, Matt’s bluffin’ hard, but Sean’s in the air. Ryan’s laughin’, Sam’s takin’ the pot, Mike’s just cryin’, ‘cause Sean’s lost the plot. *(Bridge)* Now the tavern’s in stitches, the laughter won’t end, Mike’s reputation’s gone, thanks to his friend. Sean’s tail’s waggin’, he’s havin’ a ball, While Mike’s just wonderin’, “Why did I bring him at all?” *(Chorus)* Oh, Mike Jordan, he’s the man with the plan, But his pet Sean goes all in, ruins his hand! He’s losin’ his chips, losin’ his respect, And Nicola sends him to bed, oh what the heck! *(Verse 3)* Now Nicola’s waitin’, she’s shakin’ her head, “Mike, it’s bedtime, no more tears,” she said. He’s cryin’ ‘bout losin’, his pride’s hit the floor, While Sean’s on the sofa, just snorin’ some more. *(Chorus)* Oh, Mike Jordan, he’s the man with the plan, But his pet Sean goes all in, ruins his hand! He’s losin’ his chips, losin’ his respect, And Nicola sends him to bed, oh what the heck! *(Outro)* So if you’re in Barnstaple on a Monday night, Head to the tavern for a card game delight. But don’t bet on Mike, ‘cause Sean’s in the mix, And Nicola’s waitin’ with her bedtime tricks! Oh, Mike Jordan, he’s the man with the plan, But his pet Sean goes all in, ruins his hand! He’s losin’ his chips, losin’ his respect, And Nicola sends him to bed, oh what the heck!

Oh, Sharpy’s from Barnstaple town, He used to work the bins, But now he drinks all day, my friends, And his life’s in a tailspin! **Chorus:** Oh, Sharpy, Sharpy, what a lad, A life so full of schemes, He stole from Ryan, ripped off Scott, And chased his drug-fueled dreams! He pinched poor Ryan’s hard-earned cash, And Scott’s potato van, Sold it back for a quick buck, Oh, Sharpy, what a man! **Chorus:** Oh, Sharpy, Sharpy, what a lad, A life so full of schemes, He stole from Ryan, ripped off Scott, And chased his drug-fueled dreams! He was cruel to Vix, his loving wife, And Ellie, his poor girl, But Paz stepped in to save the day, And gave their world a whirl. **Chorus:** Oh, Sharpy, Sharpy, what a lad, A life so full of schemes, He stole from Ryan, ripped off Scott, And chased his drug-fueled dreams! Now Sharpy’s lost, his life’s a mess, No job, no friends, no pride, But Vix and Ellie found their peace, With Paz right by their side. **Final Chorus:** Oh, Sharpy, Sharpy, what a lad, A life so full of schemes, But karma’s come to take its toll, And shattered all his dreams! So here’s the tale of Sharpy’s fall, From Barnstaple to despair, Be kind, be true, and don’t be cruel, Or you’ll end up like him, beware!

[Verse] Knot tied wrong leaves you in the dark Broken shoes trekking through the park Tents collapse wind rips the seam Where's the fire promised in the dream [Chorus] Raise a yell we're lost again Echoes bounce where have we been No map no guide shouting in the rain Boy scout pride just pain and strain [Verse 2] Pinewood trails all twist and blend Every step feels like the end Ashes cold promise burned away Merit badge means nothing today [Chorus] Raise a yell we're lost again Echoes bounce where have we been No map no guide shouting in the rain Boy scout pride just pain and strain [Bridge] Lantern flickers mocking glow Compass spun where does it go Shadows laugh stakes won't stand We're the kings of this sinking land [Chorus] Raise a yell we're lost again Echoes bounce where have we been No map no guide shouting in the rain Boy scout pride just pain and strain

[Verse] Clawing at the dark no peace tonight Shadows screaming in the neon light Fingers bleeding strings ignite the fray Don't need no savior just the roar to stay [Chorus] Crush the chains we're breaking free Electric scream eternity Drums like thunder hearts collide Apotheosis fire can't hide [Verse 2] Scars of fury carved in stone Lost in chaos now it's home Fill the void with the shattered sound A reckoning we're battle-bound [Chorus] Crush the chains we're breaking free Electric scream eternity Drums like thunder hearts collide Apotheosis fire can't hide [Bridge] Winds of steel push through the fire Every note a funeral pyre Tear apart the static night For the broken rise ignite [Verse 3] Ashes fall like the devil's tears Glorious chaos drowns the fear Strings ablaze under skies we lurch The gospel of collapse this burning church

Duy mê game đến điên cuồng, Ngày đêm đắm chìm, quên lối sương. Màn hình sáng rực thay cơm nước, Đam mê cuốn chặt, dạ chẳng vương. Két nhà cạy trộm từng xu, Tiền cha mẹ để, cậu quơ luôn. Đánh bài, cá độ, lòng tham nổi, Tottenham thắng bại, mắt đỏ luồn. Cược cao, thua lỗ ngập đầu, Nợ chồng chất nợ, chẳng lối đâu. Ngày kia phát hiện, nhà kinh ngạc, Duy ngồi cúi mặt, lặng như tàu. Đập bàn, phá ghế, cơn điên, Đồ đạc tan hoang, ý chẳng yên. Ông Khải nổi giận, tay đòn tới, Đánh Duy tơi tả, lệ rơi nghiêng. Bà Huệ chửi máng, lời cay, "Thằng trời đánh thánh, mày hỏng ngay!" Huy nghe tin dữ, lòng sôi sục, Từ Hà Nội vội, tức tốc bay. Anh trai về tới, mặt đằng, Nhìn Duy thảm hại, giận chẳng đằng. Dạy dỗ từng lời, nghiêm như thép, "Em hư thân mất, anh đau thằng!" Lâm là em út nhà ta, Nhìn anh khinh bỉ, chẳng màng qua. Mắt lạnh lùng nhìn, lòng xa cách, Tình thân rạn vỡ, hóa nhạt nhòa. Xóm giềng xì xào to nhỏ, "Duy giờ sa đọa, hết mong chờ!" Xã hội xa lánh, người quay mặt, Duy thành kẻ lạ, giữa đời mơ. Ngày xưa vui vẻ bên thềm, Giờ đây cô độc, dạ ê chề. Game là đam mê hay là họa, Mang đời Duy chìm xuống vực đêm? Cạy két vì nghiện, vì mê, Đánh bài, cá độ, kiếp nổi chìm. Tottenham yêu thích thành gánh nặng, Tiền mất, tình tan, lệ rơi mềm. Ông Khải từng dạy bao lần, "Con ơi tỉnh lại, đừng mê man!" Bà Huệ khuyên bảo chẳng nghe, Giờ thành quả đắng, ngập trong màn. Huy về, mắt đỏ hoe hoe, Nhìn em sa sút, dạ thắt co. "Đời còn phía trước, sao đành vậy, Tỉnh tâm sửa lỗi, chớ lầm to!" Lâm thì lạnh lùng bước qua, Chẳng lời an ủi, chỉ khinh xa. "Anh tao thế đó, tao buồn lắm, Nhưng sao sửa được, hỡi lòng mà!" Hàng xóm từng quý Duy xưa, Giờ nghe tên cậu, họ chừa luôn. Đường làng vắng tiếng cười vui cũ, Duy thành bóng tối giữa đời buồn. Game là đam mê cháy bỏng, Nhưng sao chẳng biết giữ lòng trong? Cạy két, đập phá, đời tan nát, Giờ đây ân hận, đã muộn mong. Ông Khải đánh, lòng đau thấu, Bà Huệ chửi, lệ giấu trong tim. Huy về dạy dỗ, tình anh nặng, Lâm khinh, xã hội tránh xa xăm. Duy ngồi lặng giữa đêm đen, Nhìn đời tan tác, dạ chênh vênh. Game xưa vui thú giờ thành họa, Một lần sa ngã, mất trăm nền

[Verse] We rise with the sun and the spark of a plan Hands to the wheel built by every man Grinding the gears shaping the fate Turning the world making it great [Chorus] Brick by brick we’re building today Strong and happy in a bold display Dreams in steel We mold them tight Together we shine under the factory light [Bridge] Through the sweat and the grime we pull through Every color every voice every view Machines may hum but our hearts beat loud Industry's ours and we’re standing proud [Verse 2] The hammer and spark paint a burning glow Chasing the skies where success will show Futures we carve from metal and clay In the rhythm of work dreams find their way [Chorus] Brick by brick we’re building today Strong and happy in a bold display Dreams in steel We mold them tight Together we shine under the factory light [Verse 3] We break through the clouds no stopping the drive In every creation our spirits survive Hands interlocked through labor we bond Industry's anthem forever we're fond
