Solid Gold 04:09
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

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 03:27
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

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

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

See You Soon 04:16
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

about

Joe Nolan Edmonton, Alberta

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
