[Verse] Johnny and me, down by the creek, Fishin' lines in the water, not a word to speak, Sippin' on a cold one, sun sinkin' slow, We got each other's backs, that's how it goes. [Verse 2] Saturday night, headin' to the bar, Pickin' up our guitars, underneath the stars, Dancin' through the sawdust, boots on the floor, Friends like these, couldn't ask for more. [Chorus] Bros before hos, that's what we've always said, Stickin' together, through the thick and thin ahead, Laughin' 'til the mornin', trouble's far behind, In this small-town life, it's a love you can't rewind. [Verse 3] Mary-Anne left, but we never skipped a beat, Couple of barroom boys, life ain't so sweet, Lean on each other, when the heartache shows, It's what you do when you've got bros before hos. [Verse 4] Summer nights blaze, but winters are cold, Stories gettin' older like the ones we've retold, Built on trust, stronger than the blows, A brotherhood's a bond that everyone else knows. [Chorus] Bros before hos, that's what we've always said, Stickin' together, through the thick and thin ahead, Laughin' 'til the mornin', trouble's far behind, In this small-town life, it's a love you can't rewind.

[Verse] In the cold north woods they ride, red coats and blue Chasing shadows in the night, but their hearts ain't true With a badge and a gun, they think they rule the land But justice ain't a notion they understand [Verse 2] For the ones who lived here long before their rise The Mounties bring no peace, just a web of lies With land stolen and promises never kept It's a bitter truth that we won't forget [Chorus] Oh, the red coats in blue, what’s the color of hate? Riding high and mighty, but the hour's late For every life they've broken and every child’s tear One day the truth will finally be clear [Verse 3] They're marching in the towns, hands heavy with the chains Of policies and papers stained with old remains And the echoes of the elders speak so loud and clear Saying "We remember every fallen here" [Verse 4] The rivers cry out, and the forests know their name For the crimes they’ve done, they've only shame to claim But the spirit of the land will hold them to account For the wounds they've left, for the numbers that mount [Chorus] Oh, the red coats in blue, what’s the color of hate? Riding high and mighty, but the hour's late For every life they've broken and every child’s tear One day the truth will finally be clear
[Verse] In a little town, on a dusty lane, Lived a man named Sweetball, he was quite the name, Had a heart of gold, but the folks would run, 'Cause Sweetball's belly button smelled worse than a skunk. [Verse 2] He tried scrubbing it clean with soap and more, Even soaked it in whiskey down at the store, But nothing he tried could make it alright, That belly button stink would haunt every night. [Chorus] Oh, Sweetball, Sweetball, what can you do? With a smell so strong, it's like old shoes, You'd be a hit if it weren't for that hole, Someone help poor Sweetball, to purify his soul. [Verse 3] At the hoedown dance, he'd stand alone, No one could take that rancid cologne, But Sweetball smiled and tipped his hat, Said, "I’ll keep on dancin', no matter where I'm at." [Verse 4] They called Doc Harris to have a look, He brought along his little black book, But even Doc sighed and shook his head, "Sweat and lint's your curse," he said. [Chorus] Oh, Sweetball, Sweetball, what can you do? With a smell so strong, it's like old shoes, You'd be a hit if it weren't for that hole, Someone help poor Sweetball, to purify his soul.
[Verse] In a dusty little town, under Tennessee skies, Lived a man named Slick who loved his peculiar ties, With a grin wide and bright, he'd simply concur, He had a fondness for coffee stirs. [Verse 2] Every morning at dawn, he'd stroll to the diner, Where folks would gather, he couldn't be finer, He'd order up a black, extra strong, Then slip to the back where he knew he belonged. [Chorus] Oh Slick, oh Slick, what's your peculiar charm? With a coffee stir stick, causing no harm, You make us laugh, you never frown, Slick, you're the talk of this little town. [Verse 3] People whispered, people stared, But Slick was happy, he never cared, With a wink and a smile, he'd strut down the street, With his secret joy, he felt complete. [Verse 4] The sheriff once pulled him aside, "What's this about Slick, and your odd pride?" Slick just chuckled, gave a knowing nod, "I'm just being me, ain't no facade." [Chorus] Oh Slick, oh Slick, what's your peculiar charm? With a coffee stir stick, causing no harm, You make us laugh, you never frown, Slick, you're the talk of this little town.
[Verse] Caseoh's face lights up the screen, Talkin' tough behind a digital scene, Swears he's the fastest that they've ever seen, But his aim's as shaky as an old man's dream. [Verse 2] He’s got his fans all hyped up high, But his gameplay makes 'em wonder why, Stops to chat and stops to sigh, Misses the shot, then blames the sky. [Chorus] Hey there, streamer in the window, Livin' large off a broadband flow, Promises wins, but folks, you know, It's all just part of his big ol' show. [Verse 3] Hollerin' loud when the trolls come by, Caseoh acts tough, but we know it's a lie, He fumbles the keys, looks ready to cry, Another lost match, oh my, oh my. [Verse 4] Gets swag sent in by the truckload, Hats and shirts from every zip code, But his skills are rusted, truth be told, A humble brag's all that's gold. [Chorus] Hey there, streamer in the window, Livin' large off a broadband flow, Promises wins, but folks, you know, It's all just part of his big ol’ show.
[Verse] Out in London town, where the crown is gold, They sit in fine castles, or so I'm told. With their posh little accents and their high-born names, They play at being rulers in an ancient game. [Verse 2] Palaces and titles, a life of fairy tales, But behind those walls, oh the truth unveils. Old scandals and whispers in the royal courts, Where they cover up sins of all sorts. [Chorus] Royal tea's been spillin', secrets in the wind, From the queen's grand halls to the Somerset winds. Shadows in the corners, they don't erase, You can't hide lies with a red velvet drape. [Verse 3] Prince so charming, with his crooked grin, How many tales of his we'll tuck in the bin? Dancing with devils, oh, can't you see? He's more than a prince, it's all make-believe. [Verse 4] Andrew's out there, though he ain't in sight, Hiding from the truth, in the cold, dark night. Money and power can't clean a stained soul, The landmines in England, they've yet to console. [Chorus] Royal tea's been spillin', secrets in the wind, From the queen's grand halls to the Somerset winds. Shadows in the corners, they don't erase, You can't hide lies with a red velvet drape.
[Verse 1] Parang ulap sa langit na di mahulaan, Minsan kay liwanag, minsan kay dilim naman. Mga salita mong puno ng lambing, Ngunit bakit biglang nawawala ang pagtingin? May mga galaw kang nakakatuwa, Puso’y tumitibok, at akoy kinikilig. Ngunit sa bawat lapit, bakit parang lumalayo, Ano ba talaga, pwedeng bang, sabihin mo rin. [Chorus] Hirap basahin, anong nararamdaman? May pag-ibig ba o laro lang yan? Minsan kay tamis, minsan kay lamig, Hirap mahuli, ang tibok ng iyong dibdib. [Verse 2] Kapag magkasama, parang mundo’y atin, Ngunit sa pag-alis mo, parang walang patutunguhan. Mga salita mong minsan ay sapat, Ngunit minsan parang wala lang?. Tila ba ako’y nasa isang laro, Puso ko’y nalilito, saan ba ito tutungo? Kung meron kang nais sabihin, sabihin mo na, Ang puso ko’y di na alam kung saan lulugar pa. [Chorus] Hirap basahin, anong nararamdaman? May pag-ibig ba o laro lang yan? Minsan kay tamis, minsan kay lamig, Hirap mahuli, ang tibok ng iyong dibdib. [Bridge] Kung gusto mo ako, ipakita mo naman, Huwag mo na akong gawing tanga . Pero kung wala, wag mo nang ituloy, Masakit mang tanggapin, di na magtatanong muli. [Chorus] Hirap basahin, anong nararamdaman? May pag-ibig ba o laro lang yan? Minsan kay tamis, minsan kay lamig, Hirap mahuli, ang tibok ng iyong dibdib. [Outro] Hindi kuna alam kung ano ba talaga , ang nararamdaman ng puso ko, Sa bawat matatamis mong salitang binitawan mo sa akin. Akoy nalilito, natutuliro,nanginginig,kinikilig, Hindi kuna marinig sa subrang lakas ng pintig. Ako'y napaibig sa isang tulad mo dahil sa matatamis mong salita.
When I looked at the scorched earth, Burning like a São João fire, I asked the heavens above, oh why, Why such sorrow, such dire? I asked the heavens above, oh why, Why such sorrow, such dire? What a blaze, what a furnace, No crops, no plantation’s bloom. For lack of water, I lost my cattle, My steed succumbed to the thirst’s doom. For lack of water, I lost my cattle, My steed succumbed to the thirst’s doom. Even the white-winged dove Flew away from the dry land. So I said farewell, dear Rosinha, Keep my heart safe in your hand. So I said farewell, dear Rosinha, Keep my heart safe in your hand. Now far away, many miles, In this lonely, painful place, I wait for rain to fall again, To return to my homeland’s embrace. I wait for rain to fall again, To return to my homeland’s embrace. When the green of your bright eyes Spreads across the fields once more, I promise you, don’t cry, my love, For I’ll be back, my heart to restore. I promise you, don’t cry, my love, For I’ll be back, my heart to restore.
[Verse] In a field just past the willow Lives a rabbit named Katie Mae She's got sass from head to toe And she hops in her own way [Verse 2] Katie hops by Farmer Brown's Steals his carrots with a wink She knows he's on to her game But she's gone before he can blink [Chorus] Katie the sassy rabbit With her cotton tail so proud She'll outsmart any critter And leave them laughing out loud [Verse 3] Underneath the moonlit pines She dances with the fireflies Katie's got that twinklin' charm She's the star of midnight skies [Verse 4] Along the creek and through the woods Katie runs, she never stops She’s a wild one with a heart of gold Quick as lightning when she hops [Chorus] Katie the sassy rabbit With her cotton tail so proud She'll outsmart any critter And leave them laughing out loud

[Verse] Mailman throwing down his satchel, laying in the shade, Canada Post on strike again, looks like bills won't get paid. Granny's letter sittin' there, in the sorting stack, Wonderin' when those folks in blue will ever bring it back. [Verse 2] Broadway's busy, trucks unload, but they're nowhere to be found, Blue collar folks just staring at their empty mailin' rounds. Promised you’d be dependin’ on that check this very week, Now you're sittin', high and dry, with promises they won't keep. [Chorus] Canada Post, where'd you go, my mail's stuck on the way, Signs on the corner, no deliveries today. Letters piling high, packages lost in the steam, Dreamin' 'bout a mailbox that’s full like in a dream. [Verse 3] Johnny sent a parcel, back when leaves were green, Now it's winter snowin', still no word or sight to glean. Birthday cards and wedding vows, left unwritten tight, Canada Post on strike again, they're nowhere in sight. [Verse 4] Small-town folk still waitin', for that catalog from Sears, Been a tradition every fall, goin' back for years. Kids are wonderin' if Santa’s elves got put upon a hold, All because those workers left their duty in the cold. [Chorus] Canada Post, where'd you go, my mail's stuck on the way, Signs on the corner, no deliveries today. Letters piling high, packages lost in the steam, Dreamin' 'bout a mailbox that’s full like in a dream.
[Verse] Walked into that diner, sun was barely up, Ordered me some coffee, poured in my rusty cup. She came by with an attitude, barely gave a smile, Thought she'd deserve a fiver just for showin' up in style. [Verse 2] Eggs were cold and runny, toast was burnt to black, Asked her if she'd fix it, she just gave me flack. She strutted off all huffy, nothin' changed a bit, Thinkin' just because she's workin', she should get a tip. [Chorus] No tip for the sassy waiter, who can't even grin, A little bit of kindness is where it should begin. If you can't bring a smile, or a warm friendly face, You ain't gettin' none of my hard-earned pay. [Verse] Jack at the counter, pourin' out some charm, Told him 'bout the waitress, with her cold, cold arms. He laughed and said, "It's common, some just have no clue, Takin' it for granted what a friendly word could do." [Verse 2] Service with a spirit, that's how it ought to be, Greetin' folks with laughter, makin' 'em feel free. But to the one's who grumble, actin' like a snob, Remember it's a privilege to get a tip for your job. [Chorus] No tip for the sassy waiter, who can't even grin, A little bit of kindness is where it should begin. If you can't bring a smile, or a warm friendly face, You ain't gettin' none of my hard-earned pay.
