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
