We Did Everything We Could
We Did Everything We Could
The Pannacotta Army
I'm running away
The fight has gone out of me
Call it a day
Consign it to history
Going over the ground
That we covered yesterday
Turn up the sound
There’s nothing left to say
We didn’t find love
But we tried we gave it a shot
It wasn’t enough
But we did everything we could
Been driving all night
One hand resting on the wheel
Kill the headlights
The stars all reveal themselves
We didn’t find love
But we tried we gave it a shot
It wasn’t enough
But we did everything we could
Yeah we did everything we could
I’ve reached the same place
I know, I’ve been here before
An narrow escape
An eye always on the door
We didn’t find love
For a while we had something good
But not quite enough
Though we did everything we could
Yeah we did everything we could

Re: We Did Everything We Could
We Did Everything We Could by Sweeney Toad and the Synthlads
She was posing like a model by the jukebox at the Waffle House
An invader in a bottle shaped human figure hour glass
Chameleon iguanas coming down from the heavens now
I’m smoking marijuana my head in some kind of suspension now
It’s a lesson now when you steal forbidden powers
The higher ups will fire up their spaceships and we cower
I tried to send a warning but y’all looked at me like I’m the insane one
No one believed we would see the alien invasion
We were at the boiling point ready to fall ready to break
We did everything we could but it was already too late
We were at the boiling point ready to fall ready to break
We did everything we could but it was already too late
We were at the boiling point ready to fall ready to break
We did everything we could but it was already too late
I harnessed my stolen powers dawned my cloak of invisibility
I snuck upon the mothership men in black enlisted me
They were pissed that we couldn’t fight this enemy
If I could save the world I could indeed have indemnity
I knew that we did everything that we possibly could
My efforts would be futile in this flying saucer that I stood
It was like being back in college where I was failing and flunked
So I snuck inside the ship’s showers to peep some alien junk
We were at the boiling point ready to fall ready to break
We did everything we could but it was already too late
We were at the boiling point ready to fall ready to break
We did everything we could but it was already too late

Re: We Did Everything We Could
My Social Uniform - We Did Everything We Could
Sleepwalkers
No one paying attention
Fast talkers
All in dissension
Everyone needing
Some kind of release
You provide the palms
We'll supply the grease
We did everything we could to
Light the fire
Burn it down
Shake the earth
Crack the ground
With a flash of lightening
Kick you off your chair
Without even trying
Explosions everywhere
Paint this place in chaos
Shout at the sky
We'll provide the thunder
While you learn to fly
We did everything we could to
Light the fire
Burn it down
Shake the earth
Crack the ground
And everyone around that could see the flames
They all understood we weren't playing games
We danced all night like we knew what's good
We did everything we could
Be who you need to be
Just trying to set you all free
It's time to let it all out
That's what this is all about
We did everything we could to
Light the fire
Burn it down
Shake the earth
Crack the ground
And everyone around that could see the flames
They all understood we weren't playing games

Re: We Did Everything We Could
We Did Everything We Could - Brown Word and the Big Whine
They said Big Jay was trouble
All the police knew him well
From childhood to adolesence
Raising holy hell
I met him when I got to town
The first to treat me friendly
Little did I know his time
Would be so shortly ending
It started at the age of three
Running wild without a thought
Pulling pigtails, stealing candy
Shooting birdies with a slingshot
We did everything we could
His tired parents sighed
Sent him to a Bible school
Let the preacher set him right
Rulers on the fingers
Learn the virtues of hard work
Little Jamie took a whuppin'
Put the preacher in a headlock
We did everything we could
The preacher man would claim
They packed his little suitcase
Turned him over to the state
Foster homes and institutes
Places for the destitute
12 years old and boosting cars
Seemed harmless but it went too far
We did everything we could
The social worker said
Juvie was the next stop
The prison walls would lie ahead
Ten years on they let him out
With borrowed clothes and 20 bucks
He came back home to Friendly Town
Just like me, down on his luck
So Jay is in the bar with me
When in strides Cabo Steve
Don't understand the crazy name
Had swastikas upon his sleeve
They have their words and squaring up
Someone turns the jukebox low
There's history between them and
The boiling top's about to blow
Then Jay says "Take your best shot man!"
And Cabo Steve winds up
Cracks him up against the head
And Jay falls in the dust
We did everything we could
The EMTs would say
Dead before he hit the ground
The cops took Cabo Steve away
So now I sit here all alone
And the barkeep ain't good company
I can't afford to pour one out
So I drink in memory of Big Jay
Rest easy big fella
No thanks to Friendly Town

Re: We Did Everything We Could
We Did Everything We Could
by Lichen Throat
It’s the last game, and the team has lost,
To finish at 1–9.
Coach Sheeketski is about to get tossed
Or fall on his sword and resign.
Sarah asks questions with pen and pad
Just outside the locker room.
There’s little to say when the team is so bad,
And the place feels like a tomb.
“We did everything we could,
But nothing worked out right.
We did everything we could,
But the team ran out of fight.”
Was there no way you could have done just a little, little, little bit more?
Could you really not have found a single way to score?
Do you have any last words for us on your way out the door?
The student paper deadline’s eight o’clock:
Seven hundred words to type.
The editor watches her like a hawk,
But he’s got no cause to gripe.
He likes her too much, or maybe he hates her;
It’s hard to tell the two apart.
He scowls a lot, but he designates her
To cover both sports and arts.
She did everything she could
To be a great reporter.
She did everything she could
And wouldn’t let anything thwart her.
She always found a way to do just a little, little, little bit more.
She lurked in every campus hall and every corridor.
If articles were due at five, she’d be done by four.
She did everything she could
To learn her chosen trade.
When she was great, they’d call her good,
Call a diamond a spade.
She always found a way to do just a little, little, little bit more.
For deliveries at the loading dock, she’d be the stevedore.
She always found a way to do just a little, little, little, little, little, little, little bit more.

Re: We Did Everything We Could
We Did Everything We Could
Richard Donner Party fluffy + ken + owl
They say the hero always comes out swinging
They say everyone gets a second chance
You know we’re always looking for redemption
When we get caught up in circumstance
Oh yeah
Oh right
Seems good
Seems nice
Act I, we did everything we could
Act II, we’ll do everything we should
Act III, debunked every falsehood
Act IV, and now everything is good
They say the hero never wants responsibility
And how it always finds its way to them
Never wants to be the chosen one to save the world
They never wanted to be in this mess
Oh yeah
Oh right
How good
How right
Act I, we did everything we could
Act II, we’ll do everything we should
Act III, feeling so misunderstood
Act IV, and now everything is good
All the world’s a stage and we’re all acting in our part
Everyone doing what’s right by them
We all want to be free
We all want to be free
Act I, we did everything we could
Act II, we’ll do everything we should
Act III, our missing childhood
Act IV, and now everything is good
Act I, we did everything we could
Act II, we’ll do everything we should
Act III, entered into adulthood
Act IV, and now everything is good

Re: We Did Everything We Could
We Did Everything We Could
dadatheque
(Mo+Vom Vortum+Caravan Ray)
If I could reach beyond the darkest corners of my mind
I'm not too sure I'd be comfortable with what I'd find
We've been stepping over cracks and touching all the wood
Throwing salt over the shoulder we did everything we could
The night it changes everything waking up in horror
For all the blood and the sun and fighting and screaming
I wish I still had my dreams
Fight the main misfortune I have done playing the blues
Gonna walk down to the crossroads in my old unlucky shoes
There's nothing left down in the tank there's nothing here that's good
It's over
But we did everything we could
Ceci n'est pas une pipe
ma girafe est en feu
...I really don't know what happens after here, I offer some random ejaculations and then other stuff happens...

We Did Everything We Could
a T.M. Hochman Jam
Music - Critical Rave Theory
Lyrics - T. Milton Hochman
Verse the First
At the center of the Sun
passion came undone
and laid waste to all that stood
Though we knew come this mourning would
we did everything we could
Verse the Second
Waited when the time was new
for our falsehoods to come true
but instead they came unglued
and though now they're gone for good
we did everything we could
Chant
Come fly for a minute
and vie for the limit
and dive deep into it all
Now fight to the finish
guilty or innocent
die for your liberty, oh!
we did everything we could (x3)

Re: We Did Everything We Could
We Did Everything We Could
by Instabandits [Sam Douglass, Sly Eli, Sweeney Toad]
I know you said stay strong just say no to drugs
That’s way long ago now they so much fun
Know I’m doing blow whoa crystal got me spun
We never talk anymore probably miss your only son
Every time we talk you always harshing my vibe
Let me live my life why you starting to cry
You say I’m a waste but hey I got to care first
Just a little coke and meth caked on my D.A.R.E. shirt
We did everything we could
Tried to teach you bad from good
We did everything
And now you bring this down
I know I haven’t been to church in a while
But Saturday nights can get sort of wild
Hungover Sundays I’m probably sleeping in
By mid afternoon the Molly’s creeping in
Hardly leaving the crib don’t need to eat when I’m zooted
I could care less I’m a mess I’m a loser
You sir are more of a bother
More like a parole officer than a father
We did everything we could
Tried to teach you bad from good
We did everything
And now you bring this down
You can blame it all on misfortune
But everything you touch turns out wrong
Apologies they lose their conviction
When the smile never leaves your eyes
Me and my girl we approaching our thirties
Back of our minds we know this life’s dirty
In a few years know we said that we’d quit
A slippery slope now we’re shooting opiates
Her history was dope now I’m roped in
It used to be fun now I’m coping
She doesn’t want to stop but she says she’s in love with me
Choose dope over me now I need recovery
We did everything we could
Tried to teach you bad from good
We did everything
And now you bring this down

We did everything we could
We tried and we cried like we should
Cause we never thought it'd be so tough
Didn't think the waves would be so rough
In the end we knew it was never enough.
I changed like you wanted me to
You changed - no longer recognized you
And I never really had the stuff
Didn't think that you would call my bluff
In the end we knew it was never enough
Cause we never thought it would be so tough
Didn't think the waves would be so rough
In the end we knew it was never enough.

Re: We Did Everything We Could

She's leaving home bye bye
The man from the motortrade
Tried to pawn off an Escalade
Her father had always forbade
All things American made
We raised her good we did everything we could
She opted for value instead
A Mazda with a six foot two bed
A canopy with room for her head
A couple years left on the tread
It was red,and he said, that her credit was adequate
She made it yen miles or so
Long enough for the gasket to blow
And the first guy to slow to a stop was named Joe, he paid for he tow, and he said he would show her around
He proceeded to show her around
The vistas of his little town
She'd always remember that sound
When the head was ground down
And the torque wrench went round
It clicked 10 foot lbs
And the coolant was no longer brown
She decided to stay for a while
Joe had some kitchens to tile
He taught her his method and style
And those two were virile
And soon baby Lyle
Was moving the dials
Managing files
Until one day he left a note
We did everything we could
he turned out good
He could stay home and dry
But he's leaving home bye bye.
She's leaving home bye bye
The man from the motortrade
Tried to pawn off an Escalade
Her father had always forbade
All things American made
We raised her good we did everything we could
She opted for value instead
A Mazda with a six foot two bed
A canopy with room for her head
A couple years left on the tread
It was red,and he said, that her credit was adequate
She made it yen miles or so
Long enough for the gasket to blow
And the first guy to slow to a stop was named Joe, he paid for he tow, and he said he would show her around
He proceeded to show her around
The vistas of his little town
She'd always remember that sound
When the head was ground down
And the torque wrench went round
It clicked 10 foot lbs
And the coolant was no longer brown
She decided to stay for a while
Joe had some kitchens to tile
He taught her his method and style
And those two were virile
And soon baby Lyle
Was moving the dials
Managing files
Until one day he left a note
We did everything we could
he turned out good
He could stay home and dry
But he's leaving home bye bye.

Why did you look the other way
Ignore all of the signs?
How long has he gotten away,
Just how many other times?
You're implying I can't comprehend
You're just misunderstood
You keep saying again and again
We did everything we could
Why did you never say a word,
Or did it happen to you?
All of the rumors that you heard
Well, they must have all been true
You're implying I can't comprehend
You're just misunderstood
You keep saying again and again
We did everything we could

Re: We Did Everything We Could Lyrics
Verse 1
The time has come for me to move on
Find where I belong
And maybe you should too
I find that when things stop making sense
There's no need to mince your words
If what I heard was true
Bridge
You seem to disappear each time I open up my mouth
I can't escape the feeling that what we had has gone south
Chorus
We did everything we could
We should have known
Left well enough alone
But now you're on the phone saying
That we're meant to be
That's you and me
You're quote unquote disease
We did everything we could
Oh yes we tried
But you said your goodbyes
Long before we ever said it isn't you it's me
The one you called
A quote unquote disease
You called me a disease
Verse 2
You used to say there's no perfect matches
That everyone latches on to someone near by
You said that symmetry's overrated
But said that you hated what it looked like when I smile
Bridge and Chorus Repeats
Outro
You called me a disease
You said that I had fleas...metaphorically
Called me a disease
The time has come for me to move on
Find where I belong
And maybe you should too
I find that when things stop making sense
There's no need to mince your words
If what I heard was true
Bridge
You seem to disappear each time I open up my mouth
I can't escape the feeling that what we had has gone south
Chorus
We did everything we could
We should have known
Left well enough alone
But now you're on the phone saying
That we're meant to be
That's you and me
You're quote unquote disease
We did everything we could
Oh yes we tried
But you said your goodbyes
Long before we ever said it isn't you it's me
The one you called
A quote unquote disease
You called me a disease

Just a few seconds more
Keep Breathing, stay with me
Just a few seconds more
Look at me, keep your eyes open
Just a few seconds more
Hold my hand, you're gonna make it
Just a few seconds more
Don't you dare give up on me now
Just a few seconds more
I need you to be strong for me
Just a few seconds more
Keep listening to the sound of my voice
Just a few seconds more
Don't worry, you're in good hands
Just a few seconds more
Ignore all the blood and all those parts of you that are on the outside that are supposed to be on the inside
It just isn't any good
Just a few seconds more
We did everything we could
Just a few seconds more
It just isn't any good
Just a few seconds more
We did everything we could
Just a few seconds more
It just isn't any good
You think you're such a genius
You think you're positive
Your lifestyle so impressive
Look at all you accomplish
You will feel the fang of the dog
You will feel the fang of the dog
Will you still dangle a carrot
If I bite off both your thumbs?
Will you lose your self importance
If you have two chewed up balls?
You will feel the fang of the dog
You will feel the fang of the dog
I'll be running free
Chunks of some asshole in my teeth
You will feel the fang of the dog
You will feel the fang of the dog
You will feel the fang of the dog
You will feel the fang of the dog
It's the fang of the dog, motherfucker, who's fetching the paper now?

We did everything we could but we didn't save her
Crushed underneath a house from the clouds a mystery slayer
You saw the look in her eyes you saw the look in her eyes (You saw the look in her eyes)
You saw the look in her eyes you saw the look in her eyes
I can fly (We can fly)
I can fly (We can fly)
Up to the sky
We watched in the crystal as the town folk danced
When could we seek vengeance, when would we get our chance
We could only watch in horror - As they took our masters away
Now there won't be another day
We had her boxed in on all sides
But when she threw the water, it was a sizzling cry
We did everything we could but we didn't save her
Crushed underneath a house from the clouds a mystery slayer
You saw the look in her eyes you saw the look in her eyes (You saw the look in her eyes)
You saw the look in her eyes you saw the look in her eyes
I can fly (We can fly)
I can fly (We can fly)
Up to the sky
We watched in the crystal as the town folk danced
When could we seek vengeance, when would we get our chance
We could only watch in horror - As they took our masters away
Now there won't be another day
We had her boxed in on all sides
But when she threw the water, it was a sizzling cry
Bringin' the stink since 2006.
