Lyrics for Solid Gold:
Just like a heartbeat
Pumping in your chest
I wanna feel your pulse
Wanna catch your breath
Just like the backbeat
Keeping us in time
How could I stray from you
Even if I tried
Now it’s nighttime
On your street
I wanna drive in your car
Wanna tap your feet
How could I just unknow you
Just go ride with another one
The way you pull down the moon
And lift up the sun
How could I just unknow you
Just go ride with another one
The way you pull down the moon
And lift up the sun
Solid gold
Solid gold
Solid gold
Solid gold

Whole New Love

Lyrics for Whole New Love:
You know I need your love mama, like I need air to my lungs
I know I lead you astray child, before our song had been sung
Staying high on the run, scared to show you all of my heart
Yea livin’s hard out on the road and this highway’s getting dark
Could you free me from myself, from this prison around my soul
Let’s sing about the things they can’t take from us, living there with rock n roll
Day by day, night by night I’m so tangled up with the blues
I don’t ever wanna give up this fight on loving you
All this rambling it don’t do me any good, somethings you just can’t get out of your blood
How much longer will we be misunderstood, take me back to that whole new love
Whole new love
I’ve had visions oh yes mama, back when the flowers were sweet and young
This trail of highway tears is closing in on us, taking me back to that whole new love

Lyrics for All Love Is Lit:
Word on the street is that you left town
Were you talking with me when the engine broke down
Are those rumours true, guess I could ask my friends
You never told me you were leaving back then
If all love is lit in the same fire pit
Well honey shit I'm burnin'
Last time I saw you we was talkin' at The Starlite
Blood on my shoes, smoking under street lights
I’m always in the wrong place at the right time
That faithless night you asked me for a ride
If all love did teach was it was too far out of reach
Well you best believe that I'm still learnin'
Woke up from a dream, sweat pouring down my face
I ran into the streets in the soaking rain
Somewhere out there, there’s a beating heart like mine
It moves inside you, deep in the night
I can’t help it, I’ve always been this way
I can’t help it, I know you feel the same
If all love could last on the flame of this match
Then there’s still a chance, I’ll wait my turn

Mountain

Lyrics for Mountain:
I change my mind
Too many times
Now I’m just late for the show
Just another dreamer
Dreaming of her sweet caress
She’s so unimpressed
Out at the movies
With some of my friends
Everything is colourblind
Just another drifter
Drifting away
Oh these days we’re so underpaid
Oh show me that light upon your mountain
I wanna climb it
Oh show me that light upon your mountain
I wanna climb it
Oh show me that light upon your mountain
I think I could climb it
Oh show me that light upon your mountain
I know I could climb it

Lyrics for Cherry Valance:
Colours are moving
I wish you were willing
To come and take a ride in the front seat
I’ll see you at the parade
Out on the promenade
There’s gonna be a fight in the city tonight
But you know I’d throw it all away
Just to hear you say come with me tonight
I’d jump right out of this car
And spill onto your street in the cold moonlight
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh Cherry
On the other side of town
Your boys are getting ready
You were born on the wrong side baby
I’m greasing back my hair
No I ain't scared
To shed some blood in our name honey
But you know I’d throw it all away
Just to hear you say come with me tonight
I’d jump right out of this car
And spill onto your street in the cold moonlight
I’d throw it all away
Just to hear you say come with me tonight
I’d dive right out of this car
And splash onto your street in the cold moonlight
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh Cherry
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh Cherry
Ooh ooh Cherry

Lyrics for Row Your Boat:
Break my heart babe, when those days got so cold
We got no money but I could treat ya like gold
It’s bittersweet baby when it all gets old
Pre Madonna when the lights go down
I telephone ya to see if you’re out
Do you wanna light up a joint and laugh with me
Then row your boat slowly
Row your boat slowly
Row your boat slowly
Now, now
All the writings in letters to you
You know I was trying to kill these highway blues
I’ve been an island my whole life through, its true
So row your boat slowly
Row your boat slowly
Row your boat slowly
Now, now
Now, now

When I'm Feeling Down

Lyrics for When I'm Feeing Down:
I read all the books you gave me
It felt good to think of you but I never liked the ending
When I’m feeling down I turn the music up
When I’m feeling down I turn the music up
The party’s all over and the darkness falls on the night
I’m feeling kinda reckless, every writer needs a line
When I’m feeling down I turn the music up
When I’m feeling down I turn the music up
I dreamt up the future, I didn’t see you there
So many things hidden inside of me like treasure I’ve never been able to share
When I’m feeling down I turn the music up
When I’m feeling down I turn the music up

Lyrics for Here's to Hoping:
Wish I could pause in the moment, the way the river lay frozen
Like all the hoarfrost on the trees, can’t stop this shake in my knees
When the ice breaks wide open
Would you cross the lake when it’s broken
Here’s to hoping
Just want a cigarette real badly, all this construction up in my head baby
I could drive across town just to find you around
When the ice breaks wide open
Would you cross the lake when it’s broken
When the ice breaks wide open
Would you cross the lake when it’s broken
Here’s to hoping
I’m across, just across the lake, could you cross, just across the lake
Here’s to hoping

Sweet Lil' Blues

Lyrics for Sweet Lil' Blues:
Tonight the road feels just right, but I want you here in my life
I tell everyone I meet, they haven’t got you beat yet
Sweet lil' blues
It’ll hit you when you least expect it, that night the moonlight and the music we kept it burnin
The power in the magic makes these days seem a little less tragic
But you still give me the blues
We could look back on the year and fill it full of tears
But I know there’s something more that’s burning deep inside our souls
Like these sweet lil' blues
Take me back to the part where, our dreams were just about to start there oh yea
Well baby it feels like forever since our world felt normal
Like when you stole my corduroy shirt, man I miss going to concerts with you
Sweet lil' blues
Just got these sweet lil' blues
You give me sweet lil' blues

Lyrics for New to the Neighbourhood:
Hey whatcha doin, do you mind if I join
This party is stupid and I saw you outside
Could I bum a cigarette, you know I’m all smoked out
You put one in my hand, I’ll slip one in your mouth
People are people, they all the same
I think they’re boring but you are amazing
Ooh mama don’t it feel so good
New to the neighbourhood, you’re new to the neighbourhood
If you sleep by that mountain, you oughta know by now
This is a really small town
I’ve seen so many romances fall
Just like a penny into a piggy bank jar
People they save up their whole goddamn lives
They think It’s a good way of spending their time
Ooh mama don’t it feel so good
New to the neighbourhood, you’re new to the neighbourhood
Did someone hurt you
Did someone hurt you
Did someone hurt you
Did someone hurt you too
Someone hurt you
Ooh mama don’t it feel so good
New to the neighbourhood, you’re new to the neighbourhood

Lyrics for See You Soon:
Looking out at the stars tonight, maybe they’re all just headlights
I can’t tell the difference anymore, if my heart’s the ocean then you’re the shore
Lone wolf on the highway, it’ll die here it’s true
But if I had it my way I’d be home with you
Sleeping in this caravan, it’s a holy road for a traveling man
I can still feel you, sometimes it tricks my mind like a mirage that hangs in the twilight
Lone wolf on the highway, it’ll die here someday
But if I had it my way I’d be home with you
See you soon
See you soon
See you soon
A friend of mine asked unto me, do you think that you were born this way
I just answered back unto him, have you heard the last words of Ballad In Plain D
Lone wolf on the highway, it’ll die here someday
But if I had it my way I’d be home with you
See you soon
See you soon
See you soon

Cry Baby's 10-song collection is a trip through melancholic madness, touching on darkness & depression, broken relationships & endless booze-fuelled evenings. Yet at its core is Nolan’s unwavering strength as a lyricist, & his wounded-heart delivery that reminds us of our humanity. It's, in essence, Nolan unapologetically sharing his story, & through that finding a second chance & a new beginning. ... more
