Waltz with the Wind © Brian Straub 8/07 Verse 1 – The Admiralty They’re pulling into your port, they need all the provisions They’re low on everything and bound for a mission Give them guns, give them powder, and give them shot Give ‘em livestock and metal, give ‘em all that you’ve got Chorus 1 – Crewmen They waltz with the wind and they waltz with the water They waltz with the sun, but there are no daughters Sometimes they ran, sometimes they hid Sometimes I wish waltzing was all that they did Verse 2 – Captain James Cook I’ve sailed this globe from the top to the bottom The people we meet, we get ‘em or we got ‘em The long arm of the future is reaching for you There’s conflict within me, but nothing I can do Chorus 2 – Crewmen Same as chorus 1 – “WE” instead of “They” Verse 3 – Anonymous crewman Forever from land, could be a day from hell A thousand ways to die but he treats us well Captain keeps us dry, we’ve only one watch a day And if I see land, he might give it my name Chorus 3 – Crewmen We waltz with the wind and we waltz with the moon We waltz with the sun and we won’t be home soon Sometimes we ran, sometimes they hid Sometimes I wish waltzing was all that we did Verse 4 – Island Native There’s a strange creature rising up out of the ocean Carrying white ghosts with the wind as its motion They’re coming on shore throwing things at our feet Offering animals and strange things to eat Chorus 4 – Island Native They waltz with the wind and they waltz the water They waltz the sun, but I see no daughters Sometimes they ran, sometimes we hid Sometimes I wish waltzing was all that they did

Can’t Do That Now © Brian Straub 4/23/09 Verse 1 The sun is on the rise before I open my eyes Hell I thought I was getting up early She’s a thousand miles south running that town Making all them stuffed shirts squirrely Verse 2 The dreams in my mind, they ain’t the sleeping kind They keep me up way past tomorrow Working through the day just for a little pay When it’s really time I need to borrow Chorus 1 I’ve been to the south of France, I’d love another chance Even if I knew how, I can’t do that now can’t do that now I’ve loved a thousand women, in my head they’ve been living Even if I knew how, I can’t do that now can’t do that now Verse 3 The dishes in the sink really make me think How I waste all my free time on the side Should I play my guitar or go wash my car It’s a no brainer but still I can’t decide Verse 4 The books on my shelf say something about myself Setting up that perfect set up But what does it matter, I’m just building a ladder Spending all that time to never get up Chorus 2 I want to go to the south of France, learn to ballroom dance Even if you showed me how, I can’t do that now can’t do that now Can’t do that now, can’t do that now Can’t do that now, can’t do that now can’t do that now Riff on D Repeat first two lines - out

Coffin Shoes © Brian Straub 5/9-10/09 Verse 1 If I can’t walk, if I can’t talk If I can’t read, if I can’t feed If I start to lose my dignity I’ll thank the lord to set me free Chorus Take me out back in my coffin shoes Bring your old gun and blow away my blues Don’t you strap me down to no bed Sit me up on the horse with the broken leg Verse 2 Ain’t gonna bow no way no how Ain’t gonna drool or be a mumbling fool I ain’t gonna lose my dignity Or I’ll thank the lord to set me free Chorus Verse 3 If I can’t see you or tie my shoe If I crap my pants or I can’t dance If I can’t have my dignity I’ll thank the lord to set me free Chorus Verse 4 When I can’t think or I start to shrink With tubes in my nose it’s time I suppose When I have no more dignity I’ll thank the lord to set me free Chorus X2 – repeat last line three times end on instrumental intro

about

This is an old band I was in. We did half my songs and half of my friend, Tom Humphreys, songs. We also did a couple of songs by the bass player, Ed Hodge. I'm posting my songs from this record here. If you want to hear the other songs, go to CDBaby or YouTube and look up Secondhand Sunday.

Braintwang Seattle, Washington

From Baltimore to Seattle, I've been writing songs for over 30 years and have built up a body of work. My two previous bands, Armadillo Borealis and Secondhand Sunday, performed and recorded some of my songs that are represented here. This year (2016), I started Dog House Prayers and began documenting more of my songs through home recording. ... more
