Full of Courage
The Tydon Docks


One day last week, I think it was Saturday
I went to the pub down on Russell St
With no particular plan in my mind
Just to have a few beers and to pass the time

Inside the mood was gay and salubrious
I read the Form completely oblivious
to a pair eyes that were watching everything I did
from across the bar

He had a belly full of beer and was full of courage
A belly full of beer and full of courage
He had a belly full of beer and was full of courage
A belly full of beer and full of courage
Said he'd sort things out right here, right now

He necked his beer and started to come at me
With curses and some claims so accusatory
Seems he was of the opinion
I had done him wrong, with his lady fair

He had a belly full of beer and was full of courage
A belly full of beer and full of courage
He had a belly full of beer and was full of courage
A belly full of beer and full of courage
Said he'd sort things out right here, right now

spoken word bridge

So I kicked his arse and tap-danced on his balls
And as they dragged him off to the hospital
I winked and said "Why all this fuss?
About some slag that I shagged
on the West End bus?"

He had a belly full of beer and was full of courage
A belly full of beer and full of courage
He had a belly full of beer and was full of courage
A belly full of beer and full of courage
Said he'd sort things out right here, right now

Full Of Courage - Paco del Stinko

Full of courage, full of beer
What's the difference, I drown my fear

I'm not scared until I'm sober
I am a giant until I'm hungover

Flying high on crystal meth
I conquer worlds, with every breath

I'm not scared until I'm sober
I am a giant until I'm hungover

I used to feel mild and bashful and weak
People picked on me and called me a freak
I hung my head and stared at my shoes
Until I discovered substance abuse
Now here I am, a giant man
Torbo-charged on pills and booze why don't you understand

I once was clean - Now I am hard and mean

I rise to be over fifty feet tall
Every time I snort an eight-ball

I'm not scared until I'm sober
I am a giant until I'm hungover
And I am hungover

Full of Courage
by Rabid Garfunkel

Road of yellow
Hair of brown
City Emerald
Wearing down

Ran away 'cause I really couldn't stay
And look you in the eyes
Every time I hear my own lies
Another piece of me just dies

Music dies down
Witch staggers in
Monkeys all around me
Sit and they spin

Pull another one bartender please
'Cause I haven't got time to think
All I am is a cowardly lion
Just hiding in my drink

Es como los brujos, duerme con los ojos abiertos
He is like the witches, and sleeps with his eyes open

Road of yellow
Hair of brown
City Emerald
Wearing down

Pull another one bartender please
'Cause I haven't got time to think
All I am is a cowardly lion
Just hiding in my drink

FULL OF COURAGE
by levittdown

Verse 1:
There are many kinds of strength
Did you see it that way yourself?
I still have your picture in a dusty frame
On a dustier bookshelf
No one else knows your name
Except maybe just a few
One of the brave that traveled south
I thank God and I thank you

Chorus:
Did you realize that you were full of courage
Or was it just what you had to do?

Verse 2:
Places with names you’d never heard
People who did not care
How can you help to change the world
When the world doesn’t want you there?
Torches and crosses and screaming and shame
Emptiness darkness grew
Did you know that you would be leaving to others
To finish what you went through

Chorus:
Did you realize that you were full of courage
Or was it just what you had to do?

Spoken Word Bridge:
You were full of courage when you walked out on the bridge
You were full of courage when you fought against oppression
You were full of courage when others just stood by
You were full of courage and history was written

Chorus:
After you were gone it was up to us
To finish what you went through
Did you realize that you were full of courage
Or was it just what you had to do?

she's like the girl from seventh grade, you know
the one with brown hair and two long braids and she's got
a button nose like jenna haze
and you've been thinking
you've been thinking about her for days

back then you ruined every opportunity
to make an introduction, how hard could it be?
and having absolutely nothing to lose...
nothing except more excuses

NA NA NANANANNANANANANA

you lock the door and you don't look back
you hop into your car, it's a cadillac
and not too long ago you'd have a heart attack
but you're older, wiser, braver than before

she's at the bar waiting patiently
fending off a guy who's a bit too creepy (caravan ray)
and despite that fact she's happy to see you
and you're happy to see her too

na na na na na na na

she's leaning in
and here's your chance to go for it
it's like a movie scene - time is slowing down
a long time ago, you'd blow this situation
but after so many years, you've found your inspiration
lips to lips
here's the kiss
it's everything you imagined
and now that you're full of courage
anything can happen

You'll pull out your sword, you'll slash it around
Impress all the girls this house has found
You'll tell them the stories of things you've not done
You're full of courage until you see the sun

Night time is callin', they beckon you in
You saved up some money to find a new friend
You say you're not scared, but you leave on the run
You're full of courage until you see the sun

The first time's the hardest
In more ways than one
When you visit the house of the rising sun

You're full of courage till you see the door
Then you decide that you want something more
You turn around, you'll wait for the fun
You're full of courage until you see the sun

That first time only happens one time in your life
And if you are lucky it won't saddle you with a wife
That fist time it's got to, it's got to feel right
Don't waste that first time on an empty night

The first time's the hardest
In more ways than one
When you visit the house of the rising sun

Chorus:

You gotta be Full of Courage to live so badly
But don't call me a hero
'Cause I do it gladly
Without regard for consequences
I ain't comin' to my senses
I go boldly on into that hazy dawn

V1:

If I ain't drinkin' in the mornin'
I'm probably asleep
'Cause I won't start the day
'til I'm half a bottle deep

And if you see me runnin'
I'm probably bein' chased
'Cause I think exercising
Is modern man's mistake (yes I do)

(Chorus)

V2:

If you see any greens
Sittin' on my plate
They're only there for color
The main attractions stake

And if I'm lyin' on the table
Gettin' examined by a nurse
You can bet she cost a bundle
And her routine's well rehearsed (Oh my, my)

(Chorus)

Bridge (Spoken):

Now I know some of you folks are probably thinkin', "Sure I understand what you're saying. We all like some red meat, fine wine and wreckless fornication from time to time... but moderation is the key! Moderation is the key! To them I say:

(Chorus)

"Full of Courage"
by Merisan

I feel it creeping
around the corner
the rats are scratching at my door

You told the truth
But I wasn’t listening
and it’s not working for me anymore

I can’t pretend that I’m not resentful
You’ve heard me say all this before

Here we’re standing
full of courage
but the surrender
feels impossible

You want it your way
Well hey, I get it
You know I’ve tried those ways myself

No time for inward
investigation
If you want to get out of this hell

You can’t pretend that you’re not tired
of spending life inside a shell

So here we’re standing
full of courage
and the surrender
feels impossible

I want you to have everything
It’s painful to watch you struggle

So here we’re standing
full of courage
and the surrender
feels impossible

So here we’re standing
full of courage
So here we’re standing
full of courage
and the surrender
feels impossible

Full of Courage x 23

If a tree falls on some guy in the forest
Will you be the one to avenge his death?
Do you have what it takes?
Will you spend your last breath?

Jack the Motivational Speaker
The man who is stronger
When you’re weaker
He makes a big splash
And he makes the big cash
Telling people lies
About how to live their lives

But when he goes home at night
He gets into a fight
With his horrible wife
Who pulls out a knife
And threatens his life
See what we mean?
It’s the same old routine

Jack the Motivational Speaker
Like Jimmy the Greek
But even Greeker
He just cannot abide
This thorn in his side
He hates his own hypocrisy
And his sublime mediocrity

Jack the Motivational Speaker
Put a stop to him now
Before he gets chic-er
You’ll be in his clutch
Expecting too much
From others and such
Just damn him to hell
Before he can try his latest sell

(Spoken Word)
Have some courage, little man
Show some backbone, if you can
You’ve hemmed and you’ve hawed
Your life is a fraud
And you don’t think it odd
How can you just go on
Lying all day to dusk from dawn

Jack the Motivational Speaker
The man who is stronger
When you’re weaker
He makes a big splash
And he makes the big cash
Telling people lies
About how to live their lives

'Full of Courage'

I’m not content to be waiting alone at the window,
so I’m going to give you the saddest eyes you’ve ever seen ...
and you won’t enjoy a thing that you gone off to do now.
May all your important appointments meet bitter defeat.

I will just sit here till you disappear from the driveway.
Then I’ll creep through the house like an international spy
And somehow the cookies will all disappear from the kitchen
and I’ll bring all your paperwork to an untimely demise

Because when the lights go out
and the front door closes
I’m full of courage
and keeper of the keys
Yeah, I’m SUPERCAT
and no one can defeat me!
I’m mistress of the house …
because you’re gone

O Human, you forgot to fill my bowl again...
So what do you expect a puss to do
You know, I'll pull my weight whenever you do the right thing,
you know I always leave a headless mouse or two!

Because the lights … go out!
and the front door closes
I’m full of courage, and keeper of the keys
Yeah, I’m SUPERCAT
and no one can defeat me I’m mistress of the house
because you’re gone

I am stealth / I am the absence of light / I am the fur that is not there.
I am the pool of water on the floor
I am downstairs, upstairs
(In the dresser in your underwears)
I predate your meme / I am too cool for your scene.
I do not have time for dramatics.
For silly accents.
For instagram filters.
(I am a tiny, effective serial killer)

……my gaze encompasses the entirety of the universe.
(and I have left a stinky present under the bed for you, my friend)

……..oh, and all the smooooth mooooves …
I haz dem. ^__^

Because I’m SuperCat!
and no one can defeat me
I’m full of courage and Keeper of the Keys
The lights go out and the front door closes
and I’m mistress of the house because you’re gone

(…..supercaaaaaaT)

Cavedwellers _ Full of Courage

All along the distant hills
there are flags flying
And the siege towers emerge alone
with the battle crying

And I won't be the one to say
Let's do this another way
Let's do this another day

I may be fool to be full of courage
Only fools rush in
But I intend to win

All along the playground fence
It's a road scary
It's a safer bet to turn and run
Than approach slowly

And I won't be the one to say
Let's do this another way
Let's do this another day

I may be fool to be full of courage
Only fools rush in
But I intend to win

It's okay to be afraid, we're all afraid.
True courage is doing what you've got to do
despite the fear of what may happen to you.
It's like what Emerson said:
" A hero is no braver than an ordinary man,
but he's brave five minutes longer."

All along the garden walk
I can hear you shouting
That it's all my fault and it's all for not
And you'll do without me

And I won't be the one to say
Let's do this another way
Let's do this another day

I may be fool to be full of courage
Only fools rush in
But I intend to win

Balance Lost

All the things I don't want to do
Walk up to you and the secrets started flowing
Committed to a humble page
I'll never save something fragile as a notebook

Here comes my spoken word bridge, are you ready for this?
Here it comes......fuck. There you go.

You're on your own
You don't know if help will come.

All the things you didn't say
You made my day, a small reward for being brave
Too soon I would forget and do what's easy
I'd laugh and curse, it never made me happy

I step off the train and it pulls away
The ticket falls from my hand and falls down onto the tracks

You're on your own
You don't know if help will come.

Every day you'll have to work
Or something worse, There's someone knocking at my door
What did you say? You saw it first?
Nobody cares and you'll never get to keep it
Unless you came to change our minds
Lay down your guns 'cause you'll never need to use them
And every time you run and hide
Who's there to judge if you win or losing

You're on your own
You don't know if help will come.

Full of Courage

What can I say
It’s a brand new day
and it starts with a shower and a shave

Now I’m clean and we’re warm
I’m ready to go
I’ll step out the door and be brave

F g c c
Gather it up
Full of courage
Keep keeping on
full of courage

This is your life
the only one you have
and you’ll have to do the best with what you have

Every single day
Just put on a brave face
Walk out the door and do the best you can.

C g am c
You know sometimes life can get you down
And I'm here to tell you you gotta keep going and not let the shit drag you down
Just pick yourself up who you fall and keep fighting. Keep trying. That's all you have to do.

FULL OF COURAGE

Vincent Von F.


I saw her standing on the dancefloor
she was looking mighty fine
I thought she was a godess
I was totally hypnotized

It was love at first sight
I was out of my mind
but I was blind to see that

She was a lady full of courage
She was a hell of a girl
And I'm just a boy afraid

She started flirting with her eyes
she was giving me the chance
but I'm not the kind of guy
who understands those things

I stood there paralyzed
I didn't dare to get close to her
so I lost my chance

She was a lady full of courage
she was a hell of a girl
and I'm just a boy afraid

Spoken word bridge:

I saw her there, with her fist in the air
looking like Scarlett in "Gone with the wind"
Scarlett O'Hara in the wastelands of Tara
She'll never be hungry again
But I'll never be her Rhett
I'll never be her Rhett Butler
'cause I was scared
I was sacared!

She was a lady full of courage
she was a hell of a girl
and I'm just a boy afraid

Full of courage
JoAnn Abbott
April 20, 2014

The lights had gone out
When the engines went dead
And all you could hear
Were the terrified screams of the men
And the rush of the waves

Then voices they knew
Gave them hope in the dark
This way! Follow me!
If you follow my light you’ll be fine!
And you all will be saved

Full of courage, they led out the wounded
Full of courage, through wind and through wave
Full of courage, they led men to safety
Full of courage and love they went to their grave

The Dorchester full
of civilians and soldiers
Was struck in the night
By the U Boat which waited for them
In the cold Northern Sea
The chaplains led all
To the lifeboats that night
They offered their gloves
Then they offered their life jackets too
Then they linked arms and prayed

(spoken)
Pastor George L. Fox, Methodist
Rabbi Alexander D. Goode
Father John P. Washington
The Reverend Clark V. Poling

Full of courage, they led out the wounded
Full of courage, through wind and through wave
Full of courage, they led men to safety
Full of courage and love they went to their grave

Our Father, who art in Heaven…
Shema Israel…
In manue tuus…
The Lord is my Shepherd…

They Were Full Of Courage

They were full of courage, when they boarded their ship
On that cold sunny morning, they lined up to enlist
They were bold, they were brazen, and they stood tall in line
They were full of courage and their love for mankind

They were young men, they were old men
They were women, they were girls
They were sworn to defend us, and our place, in the world
But the bugs of Klandathu, they had other plans
And those brave men and women met their fate in the sands.

Won't you say a prayer for, for that brave infantry?
After all the ones they were there for, were you, and me.

When a soldier loses his brains, there is no one there to hear him cry
But his friends and his family, they can hold their heads up high.

(Spoken:)

When the arachnids destroyed the city of Buenos Aires, a gauntlet was thrown, and a red line was crossed.

There could be no civilians anymore.

Let us all do our part in this struggle, lest the enemy prevail, and wipe out humanity... forever.

(Sung:)

Won't you say a prayer for, for that brave infantry?
After all, the ones they were there for, were you, and me.

They were full of courage, when they boarded their ship
On that cold and sunny morning, they lined up to enlist.
