If I told you I was sorry, and you gave me one more chance Would I ever be forgiven, for the lies I’ll tell you now? 'Cause it ain’t that I don’t love you, Lord knows that’s the truth but if I were honest tonight, I don’t think you’d let me go Why can’t I just, let you go? Move along so, miserable Crying through night times, without you Dry your eyes my baby, tell yourself it’s some bad dream The man you love is running, from the best he’s ever seen Don’t you blame yourself my darling, none of this was your fault I’ll be leaving in the morning, for tonight let's save this dance Why can’t I just, let you go? Move along so, miserable Crying through night times, without you If I told you I was sorry, and you gave me one more chance Would I ever be forgiven, for the lies I’ll tell you now?

Talk 2 Me 02:51
Hey baby why you talk to me? I wonder why you talk to me Gotta nightmare running in my mind, something so wrong it's gonna make my heart blind I wonder why you look my way Hey baby why you look my way? Is it something that I do or say? Demented future's gonna save my day Hey why you wishing I'm gay? I wonder why you're wishing I'm gay? Is it because I don't ever say, those things that you wanted me to say to you now. Hey! It's OK. It's OK. It's OK Hey baby why you brush my hair? I wonder why you brush my hair Worried so hard it makes my soul bare, neurotic tendencies gonna con my soul to care Hey baby why you kiss my face? Hey baby la dee da Your legs are shaking through the stocking's lace, but you're running away from my embrace Eh, I'm OK Hey baby, I'm OK He's OK, I'm OK. We're running so hard, we're ready to go. Let's Go! Hey! It's OK. It's OK. It's OK

I’ve seen your kind, up and down this road of mine And all reason says I should be running away. Though I cannot waste a dime, a good-looker is hard to find So I wink myself, again, through another day. And when the morning comes, will I die? When I finally see you face, will I know? Up and down my stair, I pray you won’t be there I don’t need another two eyes on me. Have I done everything I can, you know It ended before it began Can I lie myself awake into another way? And when the morning comes, will I die? When I finally see you face, will I know? Can I take a moment to say one thing to you? Walk away fast as you can from me my good ma'am. I’ve seen your kind, up and down this road of mine And all reason says I should be running away. Though I cannot waste a dime, a good-looker is hard to find So I wink myself, again, through another day.

Just 4 Me 03:54
Crisp autumn air the swirling breeze Brush fires, burning free and the wind calls Just for me Riding the bus I’m smelling the rape On the next man, I can’t escape his lies die Just for me And we’re all just spinning, while others they fall Sometimes I’m just spinning, when worlds they fall Yeah, I’m…I’m just spinning Everyday stories are told of lies and women, of rock and roll but the truth is Just for me Late at night and all alone I cry for you, I cry for home but the past is Just for me

Too drunk, to write you a letter so I’ll just, sing you this here song About all The lovely women who done me wrong While I try to be a simple man It’s impossible when I can’t be Happy with myself So I’ll, float from town to town Trying, to drink myself each night From them Lovely women who done me wrong While I try to be a simple man It’s impossible when I can’t be Happy with myself And I know I procrastinate into mediocrity All I know I’m tired of trying to be me

Too Loud (free) 03:31
After the show, the band comes out swinging I can’t defend the kind of things you put me through I don’t know what to do It’s not a question of life or breathing I just can’t decide if I’m the one to see this through I don’t know what to do Don’t want to waste my time with a girl who’s way too loud I’m sick of being fine, there’s no room for you in this town Once again I am stuck, and I’m down on my luck But I guess it’s my fault again, I should have more friends Too many times I thought I was single But when I wake up dead, then we will know it’s not true It’s hard to look at you It’s not a question of time or reason I just can’t decide if I’m in love with leaving you I don’t know what to do Don’t want to waste my time with a girl who’s way too loud I’m sick of being fine, there’s no room for this in my town Once again I am stuck, and I’m down on my luck But I guess it’s my fault again, I should have more friends

about

Donerail Portland

Donerail, an American thoroughbred, won the biggest long shot victory in the history of the Kentucky Derby, in 1913. The winning tickets cost two dollars and paid out $184.90.

Donerail, the Portland band, offers a different kind of payoff. It comes in the form of Velvet Underground-flavored chaos, Westerberg-like fragility and genuinely unambiguous rock ‘n roll.
