Traditional, with new lyrics by Bill Ackerbauer

NEW RYE WHISKEY

Lyrics:

Have you seen the old town 
It’s like a record with the needle down 
You can think you’re playing it 
The more you do the more it skips 

And you’ll be begging for another turn 
The sweet comes with the burn 

Instrumental 

Walking on a knife edge 
Wondering why I’m not dead yet 
“Cause it’s something that you can’t refuse 
I paid Charlie just to be excused 

And I’ll be begging for another turn 
The sweet comes with the burn 
The sweet comes with the burn 
The sweet comes with the… 
Burn

Instrumental 

If the liquor doesn’t do me in 
It will hold me like an old friend 
Dancing with me all night 
And tell me that it’s all right 

And I’m still begging for another turn 
The sweet comes with the burn 
The sweet comes with the burn 
The sweet comes with the… 
Burn 

The sweet comes with the burn 
The sweet comes with the burn 
It’s a lesson that I never learn, yeah 

The sweet comes with the burn 
The sweet comes with the burn 
The sweet comes with the…

Sweet and the Burn

The Weekend Eats Its Young

(What up, what up, what up!)
It's Friday night...
Work’s end, let’s meet up with friends
And drink it down until the end

Drowning in sin
We’re just beginning, let it rip

I’m never happy when I think
(Yeah!)
We're only happy when we drink
(This is bad)
Don't spoil the end

They shut it down, we snuck inside
Floor stained red from bar fights
The man on the screen
Pushing his lottery of death
So everyone gets a chance to live
But F that
We’re gonna live forever and that’s that

(9pm, and therefore)
We got the whole night ahead
Heaven sent

And I'm your Teri Hatcher, and you're my Clark Kent
She used to be so innocent
Heaven sent
Dirty looks, dirty books
But she never returned the one I lent

(Stop trying to change people!)

I just want my book back

The Weekend Eats Its Young

I used to judge people for what they did during stressful and depressing moments. Now I’m older and understand it better, So I don’t.

LYRICS
(C)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[CHORUS]
Here’s to Marge of the Lame Dragon,
Quick with the jug and the laugh on the wagon!
Raise your cup, don’t let it fall,
Marge keeps the ale and the smiles for all! 

[VERSE]
She’s tall as a tower, her stride is strong,
She’ll slap your cheek if you get it wrong.
But pour you a pint, she’ll never delay,
And she’ll tell you a joke in her cheeky way!

[CHORUS]
Here’s to Marge of the Lame Dragon,
Quick with the jug and the laugh on the wagon!
Raise your cup, don’t let it fall,
Marge keeps the ale and the smiles for all!

[VERSE]
Her laughter’s a light when the night runs long,
A soul too steady to ever go wrong.
I’d trade all the gold for the warmth in her eyes,
But a fool like me daren’t hope to prize—
 
[CHORUS]
Here’s to Marge of the Lame Dragon,
Quick with the jug and the laugh on the wagon!
Raise your cup, don’t let it fall,
Marge keeps the ale and the smiles for all!

[VERSE]
She don’t mind a jest that’s a little bit rude,
She’ll toss it back twice as lewd!
With a wink in her eye and a grin so wide,
Every stranger feels welcome inside!

[VERSE]
If your heart is heavy, or purse is bare,
She’ll serve you a smile with more than care.
Not a queen nor a saint, but she shines all the same,
And Coventry’s prouder each time we name—
 

[CHORUS]
Here’s to Marge of the Lame Dragon,
Quick with the jug and the laugh on the wagon!
Raise your cup, don’t let it fall,
Marge keeps the ale and the smiles for all!

We Want Some Appetite (Wasted Tuition Edit)

less thinking more drinking

A song about an unemployed, homeless guy who, like so many others in the same situation, just doesn't get answers while others are rising up. 

Damned

I mostly write my lyrics myself, always completely randomly, and produce the songs with the help of AI. That's just because I can't really sing and AI is therefore a good tool for realizing ideas. Technology is not my intention, it's the music.

Besides, I don't do this for money or anything like that; it's purely a hobby. It's important to me that people listen to the songs honestly if they like them.

Music for the last drive you’ll ever take, in a car that never returns.

all i ask is if you like my song just do exactly that show me how i did thank you

Sieg Heil Es ist Zeit für Rache Blut und Boden Sieg Heil
Sieg Heil Es ist Zeit für Rache Blut und Boden Sieg Heil

It started off as a joke now it’s a dream I chase
All my songs are best with headphones

“One road is ending, another road begins, come on let’s do it over again” - A Different Thread

Some things are just meant to be. Alicia Best (US) and Robert Jackson (UK) met while busking on the cobbled streets of Ireland and discovered both a musical and personal harmony that was serendipitous. In the decade since forming A Different Thread, Best and Jackson have taken their act on the road, touring over a dozen countries, supporting artists such as The Milk Carton Kids and Jody Stephens (Big Star), and garnering critical praise from the likes of Folk Radio UK, which hailed the duo as “warm, deep songwriters that have drank from the well of 20th century tradition.”

Their new album, Over Again (out Sep 2nd 25’), was written during a period of transition, marked by their arrival stateside and a solar eclipse. Recording began in their tiny home studio, continued in Sylvan Esso's Betty's (The Mountain Goats, Watchhouse), and finished at Alma Vale Studio (Phantom Limb/Yola, Elles Bailey) in the UK. 

Their sound is transcontinental, blending Jackson's British folk rock background with Best's North Carolina-bred alt-country melodies. Informed by their life experiences (navigating visas, vanlife, love across oceans) and liberal commentary on both environmental and social justice topics, the album mixes electric guitars with Appalachian dulcimer, gospel-tinged vocals with honky-tonk fiddle. While inspired by artists like Gillian Welch, The Avett Brothers, and John Prine, A Different Thread maintain a distinct sound that is all their own. 

Alicia and Robert see the creation of Over Again as a testament to the power that music has to heal and transform: “For us, this album marks a new beginning—like a rebirth—as we shed negative cycles to work towards a brighter future.”

I am an Unsigned Songwriter who's interested in a publishing company taking on my song(s) and having them recorded and released by a Professional Artist.
