Looking at this table it’s a small and fragile place
And we're shuffling the same deck of cards
with a shaking eldest hand and a stone staring face
We're shuffling the same deck of cards
But someone voted out the rules and now they’re rigging the game
We're shuffling the same deck of cards
Left us trying to deal a winner that the pack don’t contain
Shuffling the same deck of cards
Same deck of cards
Same deck of Cards
Shuffling the same deck of cards
Everybody’s chances don’t amount to that much
When we’re just shuffling the same deck of cards
This deal is short on dignity, patience and tact
And we're shuffling the same deck of cards
That's just not the kind of punter this meeting attracts
We're shuffling the same deck of cards
Scratch the surface, call the bluff, pay the joining fee
We'll be shuffling the same deck of cards
Kick the can down the road and the pork barrel to the sea
Shuffling the same deck of cards
Same deck of cards
Same deck of Cards
Shuffling the same deck of cards
Everybody’s chances don’t amount to that much
When we’re just shuffling the same deck of cards
In the last round we're all discarded props from somebody’s tricks
And we're shuffling the same deck of cards
Face down in the mud is where we’re gonna stick
Shuffling the same deck of cards
Slumped in a broken euchre drive with a gambling habit
Shuffling the same deck of cards
Until we take this sleaze deal by the balls and grab it
We'll be shuffling the same deck of cards
Same deck of cards
Same deck of Cards
Shuffling the same deck of cards
Everybody’s chances don’t amount to that much
When we’re just shuffling the same deck of cards

In need of some repair
Stripping in the hall after the bailiffs called
In need of some repair
The vines still crawl while the prices fall
We got notes piled under the floor
But no one accepts them any more
In need of some repair, oh we’re in need of some repair
In need of some repair
The damp sparks and the cold starts
In need of some repair
The crooked parts and shrunken hearts
The light bulbs 'round us flicker
I can feel my muscles wither
In need of some repair, oh we’re in need of some repair
But while there's a dusty bottle in the cupboard
Woodsmoke curling round the yard
I wouldn't have it any other way
So lets raise the glass, knock it down
Don't consult the sell by date
Just appreciate before they blow away
The things around us here today
In need of some repair
Draw the nicotine curtain my joints need attention
In need of some repair
Cause I've had more complaints than I care to mention
My recollections fade as fast as new ones can be made,
oh we're in need of some repair, oh we’re in need of some repair
So lets raise the glass before you look to close at my sell by date
And appreciate before they blow away
The things around us here today
In need of some repair
Circuit's tripped but the fire's still lit
In need of some repair
If they'd leave us be we could get on with it
But they'll never comprehend
The beauty they condemned
Because it's in need of some repair,
Oh it's in need of some
In need of some repair
Oh it's in need of some
In need of some repair

Turbulence

Valleys and heaving great towers of ocean
We roll side to side but I'm taking the notion
As the lights on the hill try to warn from above
We're adrift on the turbulence of love
Metal rails, foam sprays, howling gales
If you reach in to touch them they’ll drag you away
Always tempting you to get close enough
To be adrift on the turbulence of love
But who would want for this sheltered life?
Unfit for the calm, I’ll just follow the strife
All I have is rationality
While your lips are so much wilder than the sea
Hiding inside and waiting
While the chains are hauling and the walls are shaking
We pull at the curtain with a gentle tug
‘til we're adrift on the turbulence of love
You set the bells trembling
While the seas were heavy and the storms were threatening
The lights on the hill tried to warn from above
But we're adrift on the turbulence of love
Adrift on the turbulence of love
Adrift on the turbulence of love

Julian Gaskell UK
Described by angry locals as the bastard son of Waits, Strummer, Reinhardt and Rachmaninov, Julian Gaskell’s music over the last 20 years has followed a wayward path of withering agricultural-folk, klezmer accordion, overly-lyrical punk, gypsy-jazz guitar, tangos, waltzes, rhumbas and skiffled-up boogie-woogie piano. ... more
