Nobody Loves an Outlaw

I'm not fine, but thanks for asking

Don't feel much like lying

Feel like I'm slowly dying

Tired of trying to hide it

From y'all

Cant put on a brave face

Soldier on in good taste

Fall with amazing grace

Anymore

Chorus:

I know that you love me

And you hope that things get better

And I'll certainly let you know when they do

But I wouldn't hold my breath

Seems the trajectory is set

With masses funneling money to the few

To the few

I'm not fine and that's ok

Don't feel like explaining today

Unless you've got a magic stave

To change things with a wave

Just move on

Please don't waste your breath

We done beat this horse to death

Y'all just rubbernecks

For this trainwreck life?

Chorus

I'm not fine, please stop asking

Can't find work for living wage

With a company that's safe

Living in chronic pain

With no healthcare

I know you're being a friend

And please don't take offense

But so were the other ten

That asked before

Chorus

We're not fine stop gaslighting

I'm no Nostradamus

But I can see what's come upon us

Corporate pawns in congress

Sold us out

Never gonna own a home

Getting spied on by our phones

Don't Boeing whistleblow

Or you'll get got

Chorus

I'm not fine thanks for asking

I'll let you know when I'm fine

And if you can't oblige I'm gonna screen this telephone line

For all your calls

I'm Not Fine, Thanks For Asking!

LYRIC

Mercy me
Has it come to this
At the start
There was such promise
But ooh wee
mercy me

Tragic us
And our cursed fate
And we’d thought
Things were going great
but c’est la vie
And mercy me

Well we all know the world’s not fair
Some sail through, some can’t leave their chair
That’s too bad
Really sad
You can shout, you can cry
Curse the world and ask why
Uselessly 
Ah mercy me

Mercy me, please respect the fact
At one time
I’d be glad to act
But I’m tired
Got a bad knee
Cut me slack
Mercy me

Yeah we all have our tales to tell
And they don’t always end that well
That’s too bad
Really sad
You can sob, you can simper
You can whine, you can whimper
But isn’t it simpler
To just nod and submit
Try again and then quit
Eventually
Oo wee
C’est la vie
Mercy me

Mercy Me

D
Living in an extended stay 
A
How you pay for it you won’t say
G
And I’m pretty sure anyway 
D							A
You’re gonna turn it around 

You find plenty of time to play 
When your sugar people are away 
Only been six hours since your last stray but

You’re gonna turn it around 

Chorus 
G												D
Hell, Hell Holly, no thats not where you are going 
Em																A
We’re gonna make it into that church there when your river stops flowing  

So read your Bible verses and let’s bury all the clues

Cause Hell, Hell Holly, it ain’t ready for you

Verse 2
D
You lived with me for a week 
A
You did things of which I will not speak
G
Aww girl you made the devil weak
D				A
Look at what all you stole

With the prospects looking bleak 
C’mon let’s start you a winning streak 
Meet me down there by the creek 
Let’s baptise your soul

Chorus

Bridge 
D
Hey will you let me hope and dream 
C
That things are not as they seem? That the
D
promised land is within your view
C														A
And Holly that all these good things will soon ring true?

Chorus

Hell, Hell Holly

LYRIC
In the dreams I dream about you 
We’ve always time to spare 
And it seems like you’re about to
Tell me that you care

It’s the loneliest of feelings
To wake in the cold dawn
And the dream is gone
The dream is gone

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
When the morning arrives
With its first sunbeam
I go where the day takes me
But at night I can dream

In the dreams I dream there’s times when
Rain falls down in sheets
I can’t find a door to step in
As I walk the empty streets

Then you’re there to offer shelter
As you hold a raincoat wide
And I fold inside 
I fold inside 
Your raincoat wide

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
I lay down my head
And my heart pumps away
My body needs rest 
But my brain wants to play
It’s the world of the past
Sent out in a stream
I may be an old man 
But I can still dream
I can still dream
The dreams I dream

The Dreams I Dream
