Labrador
When the sleet beats down in the hinterland
And the seas refuse to loose
When the light of day is a season away
Eh I ache for you
It could be sunny soon in Labrador
I keep my fingers crossed
You could be coming soon to Labrador
My land of bog and frost
And in L'Anse au Loup I want to picture you
My mind takes another look
If I could hold you close in Labrador
My heart sings like a brook
Oh, wait
a line
the sky
my my
from gray to blue
so does my hope for you
They say it’s just a matter of degrees
Celsius and fahrenheit
Multiply nine-fifths, add 32
I’m starting to feel alright
People always say remember
The two are the same by and by
But one makes me think December
The other makes me feel July
30 below
20 below
10 below
It’s zero! It’s zero! It’s zero!
It could be sunny soon in Labrador
It could be sunny soon in Labrador
I keep my fingers crossed
You could be coming soon to Labrador
My land of bog and frost
And in L'Anse au Loup I want to picture you
My mind takes another look
If I could just hold you close in Labrador
My heart sings like a brook
Oh, wait
a line
the sky
my my
from gray to blue
so does my hope for you

Vegas
When we touch down in Vegas
I'll be holding your hand
Till I make for the slots
The second I can
At the quarter machines
We'll be living it up
And darlin', I wanna buy you
Some real pretty stuff
I got us a deal
At Mandalay Bay
Shower cap, cable
USA Today
From keno to craps
You're my lady luck
And darlin' I wanna buy you
Some real pretty stuff
Scour the gift shop
Whatever you want
That ceramic tiger looks nice
We'll get matching sweatshirts
With glittery iron-ons
A shot glass and gold-painted dice
Take that card for the hookers
'Cause you never know
Dang there's so much to do here
Even after the show
Like this awesome buffet
And this cool shuttle bus
And darlin' I wanna buy you
Some real pretty stuff
Giant glasses
A keychain
A Pink Panther doll
Now there's no money left
I've blown through it all
I'm so drunk
We're broke
We've still got our love
But darlin' I wanna buy you
Some real pretty stuff

San Francisco
You said you'd love me to the end
I asked "the end of what?" and you got offended
So now I'm standing on the edge
Of a trolley car and I got de-headed
With a new head on my shoulders
Went to the monastery or thought about it for hours, and then I
Decided sex was more my style
Went to Coit Tower but couldn't find us there
Oh, San Francisco
Oh, San Francisco
Moved up north to get away, but I
Got stuck in traffic eight hundred feet above the Bay
Then the Bay become closer
I give the 7.1 a ten
And when I washed up on the shore
Froze my ass off at some game, didn't catch the score, so I
Went further south to catch some sun
Met some coed named Jane, 'course she wasn't no fun
Oh, San Francisco
Oh, San Francisco
And people said to love the Haight
Because it is so full of great
I just wanted to go home
But instead I conceded to let my hair grow
Pierce a special body part
I even smoked a little bit of dope, which I never do
And now I know why they call it
The Haight
San Francisco
Someone somewhere probably said
This city is a city full of possibility
So quite possibly they're wrong
You're prone to make mistakes when living in a fog
And now I'm at my end
That's where I found you waiting just like you said
