Axel and Rex
Words and Music by Tim Horrigan
I’ve got a lot of friends in this world
Who just hang around for the fun
But when I’m in a fix, who comes running?
Axel and Rex
Axel and Rex
It’s a dog eat dog world and who knows better than you?
True blue

I’m Going Down
Words and Music by Tim Horrigan
I had a lot of money one time must have spent it all
Where did it go, is it buried in the wall
Well, I wish I had a nickel cuz I’m in a pickle
And I don’t know how to get out of it today
I’m going down
Down where there is no, down where there is nobody but me
I’m going down
Down where there is no, down where there is nobody but me
I had a girlfriend she was really, really cute
But she left me to live with her aunt in Dubuque
She wrote me a letter ‘bout a week ago saying how much she resented me
Yeah I know
CH
How can this be? Things got so ugly?
Was it something I should have known?
Something I should have been shown a long time ago?
I just don’t know

Seawatch Isle
Words and Music by Tim Horrigan
I couldn’t sleep last night
I turned on the light
Something told me I had to go
It was the voice of fate
I couldn’t hesitate
So I jumped up, walked out, shut the door and here I am but…
I don’t know where I’m goin’
Strong winds are blowin’
I may be lost at sea for awhile
You know I’ll be back
Count on that
Riding the waves off Seawatch Isle
Maybe I’m unprepared
Maybe there’s nothing there
But I’ll never find out sitting round here
So I’ll set my sail
Grab my rod and pail
And I’ll hit the seas
Tell anybody that cares about me that…
CHORUS
And I’m getting old
And I feel the cold
I’m glad I brought my jacket and hat
And I’ll get along with a pirate’s song
Might be down the block but I’m off the clock
Got nothing to lose so let it rock and…
CHORUS

Betty O
Words and Music by Tim Horrigan
I took a walk and I thought about Betty O Betty O
I saw her car boxes tied on top Geo Metro
Before she goes I’d like to see her,
But I’d be tongue tied and she wouldn’t let me down slow
Oh no, Betty O
She had a job pushing skin and ink
Cinder block ‘lectro shock
She used to waitress at the roller rink
On the clock, schoolhouse rock
And I can almost see the tire tracks by the house where she lived with Bobby so and so
Wa-oh Betty O
And she won’t be back again

Hooray Rochanne
Words and Music by Tim Horrigan
There you are sitting right in front of me
I know to you this world is such a mystery
Only black and white
C’mon let in the gray
CHORUS:
Hooray Rochanne
Hooray Rochanne
Hooray Rochanne
Hooray Rochanne
You’ve got your friend, eating lunch all by yourself
Taking time, working on your social health
Don’t be so serious
C’mon give me a smile
CHORUS
TAG:
Every window’s shut now
Every door is closed
You’ve gotta pull the plug to stop this overload

Here’s to the Man
Words and Music by Tim Horrigan
1. Here’s to the man with the coonskin cap
With the belt and the buckle and the hook and the snap
Trees will shake when he makes up his mind
Give him any problem and he will find
A way a way a way
A way a way a way
A way a way a way
2. Here’s to the man sailed across the sea
Searching this land for his destiny
Knocking on doors going row to row
Bet your bottom dollar that they told him to go
Away away away
Away away away
Away away away
BRIDGE:
To all my friends who try to make it
I wish you well
Like they told Harry Truman
Give ‘em hell!
Bridge (repeat)
3. Here’s to the man looks a lot like me
Spending all his time with his family
He makes sure nothing can go wrong
He sings for his supper and throws this song
Away away away
Away away away
Away away away
Away away away

The Coastal Train
Words and Music by Tim Horrigan
Looking out the window looking back at me
I see my reflection on a deep blue sea
And baby
I’ve a long way to go but I’ll be there you know
I’m just counting down the hours
I can feel the wind blow
Every time you call my name
Looking out the window
Riding on the coastal train
There’s a sea within a sea where fish are king
Swimming without swimming in an azure ring
They tell me
I believe everything
Every song that I sing
Every word is not for certain
I can feel the wind blow
Every time you call my name
Looking out the window
Riding on the coastal train

Room 104
Words and Music by Tim Horrigan
Here I am broadcasting
From room 1-0-4
North of Downtown San Clemente
By the Rite Aid Store
It’s the place by Lori’s Lunchbox
Off of Calle Miramar
Just a place to hang my heart out
Just across from Kyle’s Bar
I’m making money fixing windshields
I’m turning toothpaste into glue
I bet you wouldn’t recognize me
I wouldn’t recognize me
I’m fixing everything that’s broken
I’m getting better day by day
So if by chance you get this message
Please come by right away
The radio was green
I took it all apart
Made a bootleg antenna
Wired it to my heart
Whoa whoa…
You bring the cupcakes
I’ll bring the zombie… and we’ll have some fun

I Will See You Again
Words and Music by Tim Horrigan
I’ve been
Walking under starlight
Turn around there’s nobody’s there
Running, chasing after something
That fades in thin air
I’m always looking for your shadow
I always end up holding moonglow
But I gotta believe
I will see you again
I see
A candle in the window
I’ll stand and watch till it’s gone
Singing softly in the shadows
the words to our song
I know that you hear me
I see the flickering flame dancing near me
and I wanna believe
I will see you again
I’ve been
Knocking at your window
Could be branches in the breeze
Hey now, hearing that melody
floating through the trees
And though we can’t be together
It won’t be that way forever
For I know in my heart
I will see you again

The Communion of Saints
Words and Music by Tim Horrigan
From a balcony higher than any can see
They’re calling a meeting of great urgency
The bell it has sounded, the crowd it assembles
To watch over me in my stumbles and rambles
They gather in ranks though I can’t see their faces
Glowing in light; dressed in cool graces
Beacons so bright, they’ve never been wrong
Boniface, Anthony, Joseph and John
In that skyful dome
Michelangelo paints
Watching over my life
The Communion of Saints
Every step that I take is approved by that crew
All my false moves in my two left shoes
I don’t have to guess where to turn as I roam
For they’ve been here before and they know the way home
There’s a beauty so vast
It might cause me to faint
But I’m lifted again, and again by
The Communion of Saints
Gabriel, Raphael, Michael and Barnabas
The Communion of Saints
James and Andrew, Brendan and David
The Communion of Saints
Mary, Matthew, Luke and Anne
The Communion of Saints
Silas and Titus, Veronica, Timothy
The Communion of Saints
Barbara, Ursula, Thomas and Brigit
The Communion of Saints
Blaise and Damian, Gregory, Francis
The Communion of Saints
Claire and Teresa, Oscar Romero

Sea Shanty #23
Words and Music by Tim Horrigan
I had a boat named The Merry Anne
Shake her down me hearties
I sailed her out of Newfoundland
Shake her all the way down
With a crew of 10 to the east we set
Shake her down me hearties
The winter winds hit hard and wet
Shake her all the way down
Chorus:
Call for the fiddle and a dram
Captain of this realm I am
With these two legs I’ll stand
On the mighty north Atlantic
We lost Bill when a wave went rogue
Shake her down me hearties
I’ll miss his jokes and his Irish brogue
Shake her all the way down
I can’t say Stuart was worth his salt
Shake her down me hearties
But that lightning strike t’were not his fault
Shake her all the way down.
Chorus:
Call for the fiddle and a dram
Captain of this realm I am
With these two legs I’ll stand
On the mighty north Atlantic
The waves they crested through the night
Shake her down me hearties
We were down to three come the morning light
Shake her all the way down
The three of us could barely stand
Shake her down me hearties
Through the glass I swear I saw Greenland
Shake her all the way down
Chorus:
Call for the fiddle and a dram
Captain of this realm I am
With these two legs I’ll stand
On the mighty north Atlantic
