Saint Joe His everlasting telecaster screams from the speakers of a ghetto blaster And the old punks get excited to this day Now the mixing board is silent, but the shadow he cast was giant Stretching all the way from London to L.A. Saint Joe, Saint Joe we need you more than ever Come back to us and sing a song Saint Joe Saint Joe, Saint Joe you brought us all together Come back to us and sing it good Saint Joe He went strumming through the headlines & enlightened all the by-lines With the wisdom of a prophet standing near I saw him on the big screen and I saw him on the side-streets And he always had a word for those who'd hear Saint Joe, Saint Joe we need you more than ever Come back to us and sing a song Saint Joe Saint Joe, Saint Joe you brought us all together Come back to us and sing it good Saint Joe Every year now I remember on that cold and dark December When a word came down we'd gained another star Well, I can see the great beyond and the amplifier's on Slick back your hair and pick up your guitar Saint Joe, Saint Joe we need you more than ever Come back to us and sing a song Saint Joe Saint Joe, Saint Joe you brought us all together Come back to us and sing it Come back to us and swing it Come back to us and sing a song Saint Joe

Sing This Song Ain't enough pints in heaven, to help me sleep tonight It's a quarter until seven and the sky's growing light If you'd ever asked me, would I be 'round this long? All I ever wanted was to sing this song Had some high times on the highway, and hard times on the road At least I did things my way, and helped you with your load If you'd ever asked me, could I be that strong? All I ever wanted was to sing this song History is repeated what are we fighting for? When all I ever needed was a blanket on the floor If you'd ever asked me, what it was went wrong? All I ever wanted was to sing this song All I ever wanted was to sing this song
