Art Deco Hotels   LYRICS

Art Deco Hotels   3.32

I’ve got this pair of tens, double down again
Bank roll in my hand, the dealer calls me in
Art deco hotels, desert miles around
I’ve got someone to see, who don’t want to be found

Quit stalling, you creep, start walking
Dry heat, keep crawling, bad beat, I’m all in

I’ve got four of a kind, I wish you wouldn’t stare
There’s no one on the line, and cordite in the air
Revolver in my hand, I’m getting closer now
You might sit this one out, I would if I were you

Quit stalling, on your feet, start walking
Dry heat, keep crawling, bad beat, I’m all in

North of the border near
Don’t drink the water
My sleep disorder, I fear
Our time is shorter

I’ve got this pair of tens
Double down again

Quit stalling, you creep, start walking
Dry heat, keep crawling, bad beat, I’m all in
You creep, quit stalling, on your feet, start walking
Dry heat, keep crawling, bad beat, I’m all in

North of the border near
Don’t drink the water

Weak & Splendid (Mandolin Version)   LYRICS

Weak & Splendid (Mandolin Version)   2.37

Sigh, for the ones you’ve left behind, for they’re always on your mind
Here, all your thoughts are standing still, and you’ve searched all that you will

Love is a weak and splendid thing, love is a weekend spent in bed

Do you believe in me, too much but we can reach it
What if we keep our promises, what if we stay til no-one’s left

Know that I will be on your side, I am here til we collide
Though, in the quiet and the grey, you will somehow find a way

There is a loss, an emptiness, cannot be filled by less than this

Do you believe in me, too much but we can reach it
Love is a weak and splendid thing, love is a weak and splendid thing
Do you believe in me, youn know that we can always
Love is a weak and splendid thing, love is a weak and splendid thing
Love is a weak and splendid thing

Do you believe in me, too much, ah, it's too much
