Sixteen candles make a lovely light
But not as bright as your eyes tonight (as your eyes tonight) (Oh)
Blow out the candles, make your wish come true
For I'll be wishing that you love me, too (that you love me, too)

Saint Stephen with a rose
In and out of the garden he goes
Country garland in the wind and the rain 
Wherever he goes the people all complain

 

Stephen prospered in his time
Well he may, and he may decline
Did it matter, does it now?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how

What happened here
As the New York sunset disappeared
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And now it all looks strange
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain

Amber Lynn, you’ve got me wishing for the stars tonight
And I’ve been messed up, but oh, you got here just in time
You saved my life, and I don’t ever think I’ll find the words to say
Amber Lynn, I’ve got three days to keep away

In the day we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run

Reprobates, tramps, and saints

We all get together and seal our fates

Havin' a party

After the sun goes down.

 

 

It's kind of an obscure song. If you want to check it out:

I see you've got your fist out
Say your piece and get out
Yes, I get the gist of it, but it's alright
Sorry that you feel that way
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey

Well, it's alright, even if you're old and grey
Well, it's alright, you still got something to say
Well, it's alright, remember to live and let live
Well, it's alright, the best you can do is forgive

When you were young and your heart 
Was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did)
(You know you did)
(You know you did)

But if this ever changin' world
In which we're livin'
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die

If my pillow could talk, imagine what it would have said
Could it be a river of tears I cried in bed?
So you can cry me a river
Daddy, go ahead and cry that river
Cause I cried, how I cried a river over you
How I cried a river over you

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry,
I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky,
And the tears that I cried for that woman

Are gonna flood you Big River,
I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

He blesses the boys as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease and the bayonets they shine
He's there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man.

Sky pilot... Sky pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never reach the sky.

...  So now you are one of the brave few, it's awful sad we need boys like you.
I hope the day never comes for
"Here's your live round son. Stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun."
Well I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me
There was soldiers blue blood streaming inside your veins.
There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me
You won't meet it with your gun taking aim.
For I don't mean to argue, they've made a decent boy of you
And I don't mean to spoil your home coming,
But baby brother you should expect me to.  ...

Billy's got a gun ,he's on the run
Confusion in his mind, the blind leads the blind
Yeah, Billy's got a gun, he's gonna shoot ya down
He's got evil in his eyes, got a reason to despise
There's danger in the air

You're a real tough cookie
With a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
That's okay, let's see how you do it
Put up your dukes, let's get down to it

Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

 

 

**in recent news Pat will no longer play this song live due to recent tragedies.

I used to be a renegade
I used to fool around
But I couldn't take the punishment
And had to settle down
Now I'm playing it real straight
And yes, I cut my hair
You might think I'm crazy
But I don't even care
Because I can tell what's going on
It's hip to be square

If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

 

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you'll find
You get what you need

Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine? What wine?
Where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream
I don't believe where I've been
Come on, let's do it again

 

Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

@Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal?
Is it any wonder I'm not in jail?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands?
It's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands
It's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands
And it's ticking away, ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands

It's t-t-t-t-ticking away)

Yeah, I'm not sure why anyone feels the need to insult someone else's taste in music.
