Go Between by Sweeney Toad

I go between those ancient grains
It’s my death bed made out of shame
We want to escape but they get us
So I hide under that blanket of lettuce
I go between the jaws of my enemies
I’ve seen my fall I’m lunch meat

Dead or alive yeah that is how they wanted me
Go between the cracks so no one thought of me
Rather owe my life than owe an apology
Really don’t like people they tend to bother me
Got a lobotomy they wouldn’t follow me
No chip in my brain la vida autonomy
Economy not playing their game any more
You won’t even catch me at the dollar store
Off the grid hid my soul off shore account
I could be anywhere even your town
You won’t ever see me I sneak between mansions
So long and thanks for all the bandwidth

I go between those ancient grains
It’s my death bed made out of shame
We want to escape but they get us
So I hide under that blanket of lettuce
I go between the jaws of my enemies
I’ve seen my fall I’m lunch meat

I come back to grab something I forgot
I remembered I loved you I thought it would stop
You always draw me back I’m risking my life
All my enemies have me in their sights
This time I fight oh and I will die trying
Comedy tragedy drama I’m dying
I’m buying the farm because I need the cow back
The milk wasn’t free and it’s worth the attack
I thought I had you felt that knife to my back
I thought we were hugging you stabbing me fast
A wise man once said two simple words: don’t panic
So long and thanks for all the bandwidth

I go between those ancient grains
It’s my death bed made out of shame
We want to escape but they get us
So I hide under that blanket of lettuce
I go between the jaws of my enemies
I’ve seen my fall I’m lunch meat
Sober GF: I can't explain why but I hated it

Toby Rok: Sweeeney Toad...I can’t explain why, but I like it...

Go Between
by heine - SF! 03.03.2021


How can I start talking to you?
What makes me sure to get through to you?

Can I be sure you will understand?
What makes us shake each other's hand?

I… don't know.
I… don't.

How can I convince you for sure?
What keeps you from showing me the door?

Can I be sure you won't disagree?
What is the best plan for you and me?

I… don't know.
I… don't.

If you're stuck – call a man like me.
What you need is a go-between!

Put down your guns – try diplomacy.
All you need is a go-between!

I'm a well-educated man.
I'm doing all I can.

Satisfaction is guaranteed.
Come try me – a pro go-between!

And if you don't dare to agree,
we'll hire another go-between!

I'm a well-educated man.
I'm doing all I can.

Go Between
Duncan Martin


F#
Feeling tense again
F
Got to unclench my jaw again
G#m C#
What I’d give to be a slack jawed yokel

I’m on the fence again
Bout breaking lent again
But I know what a quick little
Draw on a cheeky toke’ll do


chorus
D#m
I’m just a catholic stoner
A#m
I’m a holy donor
B C#
But I blew my tithe at the corner dive


Got this guilt again
Hidin’ under my quilt again
Dream I took a shower made myself
a fresh-brewed mug

Sour milk again
Might just wilt again
Lie on the floor like a walkman on that jeff dude’s rug

chorus
Sunday confession
And my counselling sessions
8 hail marys for eating dairy

Roommate cooked some beef
And she left all the grease
She said I could have as much as I wish
if I wash the dish

Gonna bake some taters
Save a few for later
Is it against God’s regs
To use red meat dregs or must I stick to fish

I’m back in business
I’m not knockin jeezis
But I cut myself all the slack I need

Reeces pieces
And some Anthony Keidis
Nothing wrong with lyin’ around watching songs
that the tv feeds us.

The priest might need us
Might claim to lead us
But I learned more about life by reading
Ramona and Beezus

Says he’s a go-between
But he’s crazy as Charlie Sheen
I freed myself and I’m more relaxed
Than I’ve ever been

You say tonight you’re gonna take it
You just need a drink or two to get you started
And another few to calm your nerves

This happens every other weekend
A girl wearing a ring is not a target
And I’m not helping you to hit on her

You said no way
You saw her giving you the eye
I know her friends
Will I go over and say hi?
You need an in
Or this moment’ll pass you by
I said you’re just wasting time, this don’t feel right and

Tonight you’re own on your own
You won’t get my sympathy
This is going nowhere
It’s clear for everyone to see

We should probably get you home
I can she isn’t keen
This is going nowhere
And I won’t be your go between
Your go between
Your go between
Your go between
Your go between
Your go between
Your go between
I won’t be your go between

I can tell that you’re not listening
After 7 pints and several failed approaches
Holding steady on the dance floor
Dancing wildly, hoping that’s she’s noticed
Well I think she’s noticed!

He said, she said
She saw you giving her the eye
She said, no way she’s going home with you tonight
You said to me, you think she’s hotter than the sun
I said, you’re just wasting time, this don’t feel right and

Tonight you’re own on your own
You won’t get my sympathy
This is going nowhere
It’s clear for every one to see

We should probably get you home
I can she isn’t keen
This is going nowhere
And I won’t be your go between
Your go between
Your go between
Your go between
Your go between
Your go between
Your go between
I won’t be your go between

Go Between by Sly Eli

You fight I watch
Nothing ever changes much
We can't escape
Trapped by all the games you play
I'm the go between
I'm the go between
And I am small and living in
the cracks
Of your love

Late night slammed doors
Screaming murder at the walls
Black eyed makeup
Bathroom tears and then throw up
I'm the go between
I'm the go between
And I am small and living in
the cracks
Of your love

Bright lights dark thoughts
House is full of uniforms
Long drive strange room
Guess I'll not be leaving soon
I'm the go between
I'm the go between
And I am small and I lived in
The cracks
Of you love

Go Between - Night Sky

You walk in and say
The goat ran away
That goat’s a bastard
is my only answer
It’s the kid downtown
threw his toy goat to the ground
Had himself a full meltdown
Blamed the goat for what went down

Only you and me
Can understand the things that go between
You and me
Our well of love and memories
Only you and me

Set that fruit afire
You know I ain’t tired
Of hearing you say
At the end of the day
Those words that call back
To that day in your dad’s attic
That pear-shaped candle’s burning wick
That sweet day started all of this

We got incidents and acronyms
Inside jokes and accidents
Half heard conversations
Old moves and new flirtations

Only you and me
Can understand the things that go between
You and me
Our well of love and memories
Only you and me
Baby you and me
It’s just you and me
Night Sky is Sally on lyrics, Steve on drums, and Matt on the other stuff

Go Between by tomdg

This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you
that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.
Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.

Hate was the choice that we made as a nation
Hatred and prejudice and isolation
Hate thy neighbour, blame it on the alien
Hate the foreigner, choose subjugation
Blame it on the smart, embrace stupidity
Blame it on the different, worship conformity
Take back control and hand it to our slavers
Take back our taxes for the profits of the traders
Take them for the friends of corrupt politicians
Bleeding us dry, lying us into submission

I’m standing in the gap, onto my face I’m falling
A worthless go between for a world that’s lost its way
There’s nothing I can do, there’s nothing I can say
But Lord have mercy

Death was the choice we made as a nation
Death from pestilence, death by our ignorance
Death to the slaves on minimum wages
Death to the kids living parentless in cages
Death for the sick, death to our democracy
Death to the climate, death through mediocracy
Death in Iran, Yemen, Syria, war
On woman, blacks, hispanics, on the poor,
The disabled, a culture war against progress
A war on love, on law, attacking congress

I’m dropping to my knees, to you o Lord I’m calling
A faithless go between for a world that’s lost its way
I’ve nothing more to give, I’ve nothing left to say
But Lord have mercy

Curses, the choice that we made as a church
Curse the unbeliever, forget them as we lurch
To the right, follow the world, follow the mammon
Worship the past, worship the big gammon
Forget about Jesus, follow the deceiver
Forget the gospel, be a homophobeliever
Forget the saviour, worship the flag
Honour the men in uniform, kick out the rag
Clad poor, raise up the corporate vulture,
The celebrity, the president of rape culture
Forget the suffering servant, worship the strong man
Beat your ploughshares into guns, preach prejudice
racism, sexism, transphobia
As if hate itself is your gospel
And crucify Christ just like the pharisees
You have become

O God Who Saves, deliver us
O God Who Saves, restore us
O God Who Saves, forgive us
O God Who Saves, have mercy

Go Between - Brown Word and the Big Whine

Remember when
It was you against the world
Never knowing where to turn

Chorus:
I'll be your go between
When you can't go all the way
I'll be the hand that's reaching out
I'll be your go between
When you don't have the words to say
I'll be the one to see this out

Meet them halfway
Together we can take the chance
I'll be your fixer when you fall

Meet them midway
Withstand the avalanche
I'll take you on up to the top

Chorus.

Middle part:
I go between
You'll never be alone again
I've got your best interests at heart
I go between
You're gonna have to fight to win
I'll back you from the very start

Take them unawares
I'm the ace up your sleeve
I do my part to make this dream for real

Chorus and middle part again

Go Between
by WreckdoM

If it's simmering and you're at a boil
If your base is thick and your baster is full
If you've got one pot and you're feeding a lot
Then cover me up in thousand island dressing
Cover me up in spicy mayonnaise
Cover me up in cream of mushroom
Finish me off in a toasted glaze
If you'll bring the egg foo young
I will bring the soy sauce
If you got a pound of tongue
Put it in my bouillabaisse
If you got some bean curd
My tofu is very firm
Will you be my sandwich?
Yes I'll be your sandwich!
Will you be my sandwich?
Yes I'll be your sandwich!

Go Between
by a Corgi Wearing Sunglasses

VERSE 1
I don’t believe you can’t handle conflict
It’s like a drug to you, almost recreational
Don’t drag me into it, I’m not your monkey
Be your own asshole

PRECHORUS 1
Angry teens and drama queens
I will not be your go between

CHORUS
Manage your own life
Manage your own life
Say whatever shit you like
I'm done running marathons just to die

VERSE
Disagree, disagree on your own time
I’m done swimming in an ocean of spite
Use your words, use your words, little baby
If you won’t speak, do I have to be nice?

PRECHORUS 2
Pitch a show to MTV
I will not be your go between

CHORUS
manage your own life
manage your own life
say whatever shit you like
I'm done running marathons just to die
blippity blop ya don’t stop heyyyyyyyyy

This is very late, but for all the completionists, Vermillion was Erin D, Wayne G, and me. Erin took lead on songwriting, and I came in to add to and revise the chorus; Wayne took lead on instrumentation and mix, with Erin on vocals and me on keyboard. Here are our lyrics!


V 1:
I won’t negotiate
There’s nothing left to say
You’ve shown me all I need to see

Can’t be your messenger
Saw what you did to her
Not here to take your third degree

Chorus:
You can’t wash your dirty deeds
off our covers, off our sheets,
I’ll sit here and let you bleed
‘cause I can’t give you what you need,
Too much space that goes between us,
I can’t fake it, I can see just
how it is, and I can’t be
the go-between that’s what I know you need.


V 2:
It’s not impossible
You’re not unstoppable
Everybody has a turn

Make your own mistakes
Drink your sour grapes
Either way, you’re gonna learn

Chorus:
that you can’t wash your dirty deeds
off our covers, off our sheets,
I’ll sit here and let you bleed
‘cause I can’t give you what you need,
Too much space that goes between us,
I can’t fake it, I can see just
how it is, and I can’t be
the go-between that’s what I know you need.

Bridge:
Don’t deny your part
Manipulating from the start
There’s no place to hide
Contaminated by your pride

Chorus:
You can’t wash your dirty deeds
off our covers, off our sheets,
I’ll sit here and let you bleed
‘cause I can’t give you what you need,
Too much space that goes between us,
I can’t fake it, I can see just
how it is, and I can’t be
the go-between that’s what I know you need.
