The War Of 1812

upbeat version of Arrogant Worms Canadian folk-rock classic

The Last Saskatchewan Pirate

a somewhat ominous-sounding ballad version of Irish folk song written by Michael Considine; bemoans the plight of the Irish immigrants who so longed for home from their new lives in America

Spancil Hill

A cover version from Soul Asylum's song from 1992 that was dedicated to runaway or missing people. As a Christian, I believe there is much sadness in God's eyes towards those who are lost and wandering. Children kidnapped, or runaway teenagers, I pray for those wandering souls. This cover is dedicated to them.

Lyrics:
Call you up in the middle of the night
like a firefly without a light
you were there like a blowtorch burning
i was a key that could use a little turning
so tired that i couldn't even sleep
so many secrets i couldn't keep
promised myself i wouldn't weep
one more promise i couldn't keep

it seems no one can help me now
i'm in too deep
there's no way out
this time i have really lead myself astray

runaway train, never goin' back
wrong way on a one-way track
seems like i should be getting somewhere
somehow i'm neither here nor there

can you help me remember how to smile?
make it somehow all seem worthwhile
how on earth did i get so jaded?
life's mysteries seem so faded
i can go where noone else can go
i know what no one else knows
here i am just drownin' in the rain
with a ticket for a runaway train

and everything seems cut and dry
day and night
earth and sky
somehow i just don't believe it

runaway train, never goin' back
wrong way on a one-way track
seems like i should be getting somewhere
somehow i'm neither here nor there

bought a ticket for a runaway train
like a madman laughing at the rain
little out of touch, little insane
it's just easier than dealing with the pain

runaway train, never goin' back
wrong way on a one-way track
seems like i should be getting somewhere
somehow i'm neither here nor there

runaway train, never comin' back
runaway train, tearin' up the track
runaway train, burnin' in my veins
i run away but it always seems the same
