Do What the Man with the Gun Says
Do what the man with the gun says:
Put the money in the bag,
put your hands behind your head
Do what the man with the gun says
down at the station house
behind the counter at Quick Mart
If you ever want to see her again
Behind the prison bars
or the comfort of your bed
Some day he’ll burn down in flames
In the chamber there’s a bullet with your name, son
Do what the man says
Do what the man with the gun says
Walk the line at night, dance to music in your head
If you ever want to see her again
Beneath the starry skies
Or in the backseat of your head
Some day he’ll burn down in flames
In the chamber there’s a bullet with your name, son
Do what the man says
The lines are blurry with the law
between the death row inmates and the life term prison guards
who spread your feet when they frisk you
you can scream, (they) can’t hear you
grab a badge and a pistol
before the nightstick cracks you hard
Do what the man with the gun says

Weather’s Changing Fast
Looks like the weather’s changing fast
Looks like the weather’s changing, fast
I’m looking at a bluebird sky
Out of the corner of my eye
I’ve been frozen by a cold wind,
whipping through an open field
I’ve got a love won’t crumble, alloy,
tungsten steel
It’s forged from fires and branded
by a lifetime, of trouble
But never breaks from the
pressure of a freight train’s, roll
Looks like a storm is moving in
Looks like a storm is moving, out
I’ll swim the islands to the shore
Just for the love you give me, more
I’m waist deep in a lifetime measured in song
I’ve been abandoned by the ghosts that haunted me, long
They broke and entered into my soul, once too many times
I suckered them into the jaws of a snare they can’t break (maneuver) from
Looks like the weather’s changing fast,
looking like the weather’s changing

Martin England North Berwick, Maine
There is an avenue that runs through the heart of singer/songwriter Martin England. It’s the common language he shares with contemporaries like Ray Lamontagne and founding legends like Johnny Cash, equal parts light and shadow cast in emotionally-charged, heart-harvesting songs. ... more
