Passing Through with Pints

Pub punk, group vocals, gang vocals, group chant

[Verse 1 – background]
(as the fog came drifting ’round)

[Chorus – all]
Raise your pint, raise your pint (raise your pint!)  
’Cause the night got odd and the moon got bright (moon got bright!)  
I said “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!)  
And the band just nodded through the light

Raise your pint, raise your pint (raise your pint!)  
We were scared but laughing too (laughing too!)  
Sharing pints with those strange musicians  
As we were passing through (passing through)

[Verse 2 – lead]
They had songs about the shadows, and a rhythm cold and thin  
Voices like old radio static humming from within  
But they smiled between the verses, raised their glasses to our crew  
And we toasted in the lamplight  
Like old friends we never knew

[Verse 2 – background]
(like old friends we never knew)

Raise your pint, raise your pint (raise your pint!)  
We were scared but laughing too (laughing too!)  
Sharing pints with those strange musicians  
As we were passing through (passing through)

[Bridge – chant, printed four times]
Strange old songs! (strange old songs!)  
But the pints felt right! (pints felt right!)

Strange old songs! (strange old songs!)  
In the creeping night! (creeping night)

[Final Chorus – all]
Raise your pint, raise your pint (raise your pint!)  
’Cause the night got odd and the moon got bright (moon got bright!)  
I said “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!)  
And they played on through the night

Raise your pint, raise your pint (raise your pint!)  
We were scared but smiling too (smiling too!)  
Sharing pints with those strange musicians  
As we were passing through (passing through)

[Verse 1 – lead] We were only passing through, just a stop between the towns Looking for a quiet pint, a place to set our burdens down But the band upon the corner had a shadow in their sound And the fellas felt a shiver As the fog came drifting ’round [Verse 1 – background] (as the fog came drifting ’round) [Chorus – all] Raise your pint, raise your pint (raise your pint!) ’Cause the night got odd and the moon got bright (moon got bright!)
