You’re So Pretty (I’m So Shitty)
It started with a big plate of meat
We had some friends we were going to meet
And I drank some soju and I called you
some bad names
Well I know girl it’s tough when
I make the lives we’re livin’
So shitty
But you’re so pretty
We met some more friends in a bar
I said hey drive me home, you got a car
But I was pretty drunk by then
and there was no chance I was gettin it up
But hey girl I know it’s hard
When I make everything so shitty
But you, girl,
You’re so pretty
I made you angry walkin home
you left me on a park bench we didn’t bone
you called my friends and asked where I was
But I was too drunk to pick up cus
I had drank a little too much
Ate a little too much meat
And soju
Now, the morning after
Am I gonna call you am I gonna run after you
(I don’t know)
Well hey little girl, I know it’s hard
When I make this thing oh so shitty
But you, you just go on keep being
Pretty girl

Jack Layton and Chingis Khan Ride Into the Sunset
C F C G
Took a trip round the world to Mongolia (golia)
Crossin borders, getting drunk at border crossings with border girls
it was great we ate lots of good food and shit (food and shit)
But the whole time, we missed our good friend
And his name was
C Cmaj9 Am
Jack Layton (who-o-o-oooo)
F G
You and Ghingis Khan are takin’ off

Those Canooks readin books but not the good book
G C
Just takin looks at good books

And our friend Jack left us in Toronto

And we always want to remember him

So at his funeral, we sang this song

G E Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah
F Am F C G
Hallelujah (x3.5)
Jack Layton (who-o-o-ooo)

Are We Human or Are We Glancers?
[Harmonica Intro]
G Gmaj9(no 3rd) Cadd9
The line is straight
These words are spoken
This love is loving
And if it breaks, it’s broken
[prechorus]
Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4
Who are we
and why are we here
who am I
could it be more clear?
I feel these feelings
This life I’m living
and all of the time
it was always there
[prechorus]
[chorus]
G Cadd9
we are humans, your girlfriend’s human
G Cadd9
we are humans, your girlfriend’s human
G Cadd9 G Dsus4 (stop)
like me, like you, like we, it’s true
G Gmaj9(no 3rd) Cadd9
we’re all just humans
I saw it with my eyes
then I thought, then I realized
that the answer to the question
was just a question of the question

If you have the time to spend, there’s someone else we have in common
We lived in the same city, a pretty girl from the derby
We treated her the worst, see, the last not the first as we believed
[chorus]
Where ya goin, where ya been

Drunky dad, angry mom, baby and me
We’re all walking steps to Jesus, see
And hangin up on friends in Bible study
[Pre-chorus]
G D E E
A Dmaj13(no 3rd)
He ain’t ripped and he ain’t cut
he’s pear-shaped midriff vegetarian butt
Jesus. He loves the late night taco bell jerks
Pissing mothers and cigar-smoking Turks

It’s a Seinfeld life or a meat hallucination
I got too many friends and obligations

But they don’t know

Revenge Kicks
02:15

F C
We had only known each other a month
When you roundhouse kicked me in the chest
I lost my breath and swore vengeance
You laughed and danced down the street
A while later I tried revenge
You blocked my kick with your hands
I’d have to wait for another day
I should have abandoned these violent ways
[Chorus]
G F
All my revenge kicks
don’t give me no kicks
G Am
Matt’s defense is impeccable
F G
My kicks, too redirectable
Now in Ottawa I tried again
You caught my foot in your hands
I sprained my ankle on your kung fu
Shoulda known better than to mess with you
[Chorus x2]
