1. _ Last Ditch
This is the last ditch ever i dug
Once there were motives but they have been lost
Dig through the sand still you end at the rock
This is the ditch that i dug
These are the blankets that we should have worn
Now marrow is soaking and taken with cold
Us rag and bone merchants have just greed to lose
This is the ditch that i dug
The ditch it lies empty and waits for your laugh
My head was your shovel and i was your back
And sweat made the river that cut through the flat
This is the ditch that i dug
This is the ditch that i dug
The crows haven't eaten the scraps they were fed
The crows they stay honest and keep to themselves
Their silence infected my stitches gone loose
There will be rain today, yes
There will be rain today

2. _ Wreck Of The Old #9
T'was a cold wintry night
Not a star was in sight
And he north wind was howling down the line
Went a brave engineer
With a sweetheart so dear
With an order to pull old # 9.
His heart hung with his song
And his train rolled along
Black smoke was pouring from his stack
His headlight it seemed
To brighten his dream
Of tomorrow, when he'd be coming back
Well he sped round the hill
And his brave heart stood still
A headlight flashing in his face
He threw only air
And he murmured a prayer
'cause he knew this would be his final race
(the crash...)
In the wreck he was found
Lying dying on the ground
And he asked them to raise his weary head
As his breath slowly went
This message he sent
To the maiden who thought she would be wed
"i leave a white home
That i bought for your own
And i dreamed we'd be happy by-and-by.
I'm gonna leave it all to you
'cause i know that you'll be true
'til we meet at the pearly gates -- good-bye."

3. _ The Anvil Song
Lose your coat and roll your sleeves
This is demolition time
Inventions full of spit and blood
With blinders for the faint of heart
Fortune's ashes crowd this map
But if i lose, well i don't care
As long as i get good and gone
Let the anvil break
Steal door lies into a whisper
Now who can wait for the perfect fit
I'm hearing the anvil sing
I'm hearing the anvil sing
Machine he took a picture of
Of himself for children's walls
For forty miles the word went out
That he would someday drown us all
Deep inside this vodka clear
But if i lose then i don't care
As long as i get good and gone
Let the anvil break
Steal door lies into a whisper
Now who can wait for the perfect fit
I'm hearing the anvil sing
I'm hearing the anvil sing
Let the anvil break
Steal door lies into a whisper
This is demolition time
And if i lose, well i don't care
I'm hearing the anvil sing
I'm hearing the anvil sing

4. _ Medicine Hat
Steal it from the yard
Medicine hat she wore
Mother's protection
Protection from the open sun
What is gone was never here
And what is here is second-hand
Trust in only shadows
'cause they never know they're wrong
Steal it from the yard
Medicine hat she wore
What is gone was never here
And what is here is second-hand
Medicine hat
Medicine hat
You could all but disappear
At the drunk electric show
Just fall into the whirlpool
That's spinning on the grange hall floor
Then go outside and burn the fence
That splits into the coal-black sky
Got more strength than weakness
Got the strength to tell this lie.
You could all but disappear
At the drunk electric show.
Medicine hat x4

5. _ Mr. Clancy
If you're ready and the creek don't rise
If you're ready with the furnace full
Trees were shakin' and the break was good
Finally lost him in the neck of the woods
If you're ready and the creek don't rise
Mr. clancy was a dog of prey
Took the decent and the laughin' sheep
Mr. clancy took his hand to you
But i'm not waiting just to prove it's true
If you're ready and the creek don't rise
There's something you must do
With head turned off and you knew (?)
If you're ready and the creek don't rise

6. _ Ahead Of The Storm
Gotta trust my name
No fork in my tongue
Gotta trust my name
Never saw it blow
Never saw it blow
The clouds rained money
Never saw it blow
The clouds rained money
Never saw it blow
Shoulda locked my jaw
The words are devils
Shoulda locked my jaw
It wasn't what i saw
It wasn't what i saw
Their barrels pointing
Wasn't what i saw
Their barrels pointing
Wasn't what i saw
Ahead of the storm
Is where i belong
Ahead of the storm
With thunder laughing
Gotta trust my name
But it can't be done
Gotta trust my name
But it can't be done
The clouds rained money
Never saw it blow
The clouds rained money
Never saw it blow
Ahead of the storm
Is where i belong
Ahead of the storm
With thunder laughing
On and on and on...
