Like Flickr, but without the photos.

By Great Big Sea, new CD is Fortune's Favor. I'm trying to restrain myself from doing all their new songs as Tunies.

Love me now while we're alive
It's the best thing we can do
We'll have no time upon Cloud 9
So heaven on earth will have to do
I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon
And I do it all so well
Cuz I made a deal with the devil
And when I die,
I'm going straight to hell.

Standing at the crossroads
He offered wine, women and song
Riches, fame and fortune
In my hands from that day on
I was granted there and then
A life of rock 'n' roll
And it seemed like such a bargain
For just one eternal soul
I know I'll curse this damn decision
And I'll regret it till the moment I fall
But I'll be making the most of a bad situation
Until my number's called

Love me now while we're alive
It's the best thing we can do
We'll have no time upon Cloud 9
So heaven on earth will have to do
I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon
And I do it all so well
Cuz I made a deal with the devil
And when I die,
I'm going straight to hell
Oh yeah
I'm going straight to hell.

There's times I swear I come out on top
In this ill-conceived contract
And there's nights I say
It's a small price to pay
For the life and times I've had
And I think "Here's to the gents and ladies
And all the foolish times we spent!”
They cost me afterlife in Paradise
And they were worth every single cent

So have a dance with the walking damned
Before my time is done
Cuz a deal is a deal and I don't expect
Fire and brimstone'll be much fun

Love me now while we're alive
It's the best thing we can do
We'll have no time upon Cloud 9
So heaven on earth will have to do
I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon
And I do it all so well
Cuz I made a deal with the devil
And when I die,
I'm going straight to hell
Oh yeah
I'm going straight to hell.

I have every expectation
That my final prayer will go unheard
And my veiled deathbed confession
Will not move the mighty Lord
And I'm sure that I'll be sorry
When he slams St. Peter's gate
But I'll dive right in to damnation
With a smile across my face

Love me now while we're alive
It's the best thing we can do
We'll have no time upon Cloud 9
So heaven on earth will have to do
I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon
And I do it all so well
Cuz I made a deal with the devil
And when I die,
I'm going straight to hell
Cuz I made a deal with the devil
And when I die,
I'm going straight to hell
Oh yeah
I'm going straight to hell
I'm going straight to hell.
