Lyrics

Viva La Vinyl

Words & Music by Twilight Hotel

There’s a new sound that’s rising from the tenements
Shattering the window crumbling the pediments
Soft and warm with perfect measurements

33 45 78 16
It’s alright It’s OK
If you dig that sound never give it away we got all night you better stay
Viva La Vinyl let the record play

It’s coming round so you better get used to it
If your wound tight you can shake loose to it
Throw in on the table practice you favorite moves to it

33 45 78 16
It’s alright It’s OK
If you dig that sound never give it away we got all night you better stay
Viva La Vinyl let the record play

It’s guaranteed gonna increase your pleasure-mint brand new or straight from the treasure bin
You can buy and sell it you can even trade it in
33 45 78 16
It’s alright It’s OK
If you dig that sound never give it away we got all night you better stay
Viva La Vinyl let the record play

No Place for a Woman

Words & Music by Brandy Zdan & Dave Quanbury

Put on your scarf, love
Tuck your hair in tight
There’s no beauty her
Down here it’s always night
You’re going down, down down, down, down

My Daddy he’s a ranger, my brother works there too
Down at the mine where the air is always blue
I come home crying at the end of the night
I’ve been feeling the town tremble most of my life

Those union boys they whisper
They whisper at my back
They’ll make it hard enough today but tomorrow I’ll be back
I’ve got a knife in my lunch pail, a screwdriver in my boot
To keep those union boys at bay when I come walking through

It wakes me from my sleep, It brings me to my knees
My hearts as hard as coal and my words as sharp as steel

Impatient Love

Words and Music by Twilight Hotel

Impatient love, take your time love
don’t hurry don’t worry about a thing love
when you find a heart that’s free
you’ll have all the time you need
so take your time take your time
impatient love

Impatient love, don’t fuss love
don’t hurry, you’re going to fall into that rushed love
when you find the one that’s right
it’ll be a most beautiful sight
so take your time take your time
impatient love

But oh, you seem so calm love
what if I go wrong love
If I wait too long would you be gone
this could be our day love
why should I delay love
if I hesitate would you stay
Impatient love

Impatient love, be still love
don’t hurry tarry for a while
when you find the one that you need
you’re going to fall down to your knees
so take your time take your time
impatient love

But oh, you seem so calm love
what if I go wrong love
If I wait too long would you be gone
this could be our day love
why should I delay love
if I hesitate would you stay
Impatient love

Highway Prayer

Words and Music by Twilight Hotel

Tumbleweeds roll across the road
while the roadkill is being eaten by the crows
we drive at a hundred k an hour
just passed small town Alberta/Texarkana

Down at the crossroads of I thirty-five
praying at the bedside of this twenty-nine dollar dive
signs on the shoulder preaching to me
I avert my eyes I don’t want to see

we’ve been on this road for some time now
our hearts are leading us now
save on sins at the drive through confession
billboard preachers talking roadside redemption

Down at the crossroads of I thirty-five
praying at the bedside of this twenty-nine dollar dive
Jesus are you coming don’t you think it’s time
take me as I’m sleeping you can take me alive

Was is something in the water
was it something that you ate
our holy books they’re written
with a guitar and a blank page

The pedal steel drips out from the car stereo
the bass fills out the spaces in my tired soul
Jesus are you coming don’t you think it’s time
take me as I’m sleeping you can take me alive

we’ve been on this road for some time now
our hearts are leading us now
our hearts and the tires are leading us know
