For my god and my faith

Nothing elese matter other than fighting

This is my way (dont disturb)

If that happen, you know the result

This is my life

"Jump & Drink" (single, 2015)

"Amazing Grace" (single, 2017)

Recorded, Mixed & Mastered at Summit Sound Studios, Westport ON
Engineer: Dave Daw
November 2015

"Jump & Drink" written by Chris Giguere 1995

Patty O'MacKinski-Sven is a loveable composite character
He's proud of his own heritage though he was born in Canada
He's 1/8th Scots, two bits Swede, 7/16ths Bolivian
He's one third Dutch, 2/10th French
And the rest is Native American

Every day he goes to work in the same old dingey sweat shop dump
The boss man don't say anything except to jump when I say JUMP
No one seems to notice that something really stinks
He just cannot get over how much he needs to drink

At the local watering hole, he's sitting at the bar
He's listening to the music amazed that he's come so far
Tender sidles over and says without a wink
Man you cannot hang out here unless you buy a drink

Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink...

Patty knows if he takes a drink he won't stay in his seat
Knows he won't have time to think, dancing to the changeless beat
Tender sidles over and says without a wink
Man you cannot hang out here unless you buy a drink

Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink...

Jump Drink Jump
Drink, Jump, Drink

Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink...

Jump and Drink

An exciting and lively version of the classic, with the feel and energy of a live crowd chanting along. From the diverse party band (known for playing some of the best party music ever made) - Welcome to The Celtic Kitchen Party!

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
‘Tis grace has brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home

When we’ve been here 10,000 years
Bright shining in the sun
When we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

Was blind but now I see
Was blind but now I see, I
Was blind but now I see
