BANSHEE | BUCKET | |
She's blanker than bogoak She's whiter than a sheet She screams into my ear when I try to oget to sleep She's blowin grubber smoke rings Into my battered brain She cuts me into pieces Then sticks me back again She weaves a twisted dream of jealousy and pain She wraps it round my neck Then sinks into my brain She straps me to the bed with manacles of fear She rapes me till the sunrise But I won't shed a tear There's a Banshee in my bed squatting by my head Muttering tones of cobbles and bones and waking up the dead There's a Banshee in my room singing out of tune Telling tall tales with her finger nails and howling at the moon |
There's a hole in my bucket dear liza, dear
liza There's a hole in my bucket dear liza, a hole There's a lump in my belly, my knees have turned to jelly I feel like I have just devoured 16 bags of coal I can't stop myself thinking and I only end up drinking Everytime I look at you it makes me want to cry I just want to kiss you cos' I know that I would miss you If ever you should say that we must say goodbye I don't want much, I don't want much from you Just a little of whatever you got to off will do And I wish .... I wish that you could see That it doesn't have to be so hard It's oh so easy to love me There's a big hole in the sky, there's river's running dry There's deserts where the once tree's There's war now where there was peace You can let it get you down, you can let it make you sad But that won't solve the problems of a world that's going mad There's so much you can give in this short life that you live The seed that we did sow it has grown and it will grow Till the branches spread for miles And fill the world with smiles All I want to do Is give my love to you ...... |

DAYS LIKE THESE | PLACEHOLDER | |
My little sister this is a song for you Cos I know you haven't been feeling to good lately Remember when we were kids and everthing seemed alright I'd do a funny dance to make you laugh and then we'd get into a fight. The world's still spinning but there must be an end Why do you worry, it'll drive you round the bend Look at the statrs don't they make you feel small tonight You know that I love you and it'll be alright It's a funny thing growing up, and discovering the worlds no playground And looking at the world from a few feet taller Then the faces of the one's you love, start looking so much older And the small town street that was our world, looks smaller The world's still spinning but there must be an end Why do you worry, it'll drive you round the bend Look at the statrs don't they make you feel small tonight You know that I love you and it'll be alright Thanks for you letter, I'm glad to hear you feel better I'm glad you're seeing the world from a different point of view It's hard when you discover that everything you believed in Is just a world that was deceiving you with its money go round. Kick out your problems & gather your friends Cos there'll never never never never never be days like these again. |

EVOLUTION | PLACEHOLDER | |
It's a sad and beautiful world But I'm glad that you are my girl When you sing you tear me apart When you dance, you dance on my heart And everyday I fall a little deeper in you spell You keep me warm and drunk on you smell No need for wedding bells If you'll just be yourself, free yourself Wanna be yourself, go on and free yourself We can't stop our own evolution I have tried to live by the rules But my pride won't let me answer to fools When their ways have obviously seen much better days It's time to break out, it's time to grow Shed you old skin, we all know The world has never been this way before We can't rely on destiny no more to even the score Whether we win or lose the world around us Plays a different game, what do I have to do Do I change my religion, change my name If you'll just be yourself, free yourself Wanna be yourself, go on and free yourself We can't stop our own evolution It takes one mind to break you inhibitions It takes one heart to love with out condition It's your last chance to live up to your dreams Though it's a mad dance it's saner than it seems So let down you defenses and just . . . . . ..... If you'll just be yourself, free yourself Wanna be yourself, go on and free yourself We can't stop our own evolution |

FAMILY DAYS | FEEL SO VERY OLD | |
My Auntie Syl came round, they bought a motorcar I hope it makes em happy, I hope it gets em far And I am in the garden, the roses smell so sweet My sisters dreaming fashion, with books upon her knee Oh these family days It's summer time again, camping by the sea They wake me up a six, and Stephens next to me And now wer in the Car, sleeping in the back Arrive at some wierd campsite, start to unpack Oh these family days Gone Forever It's Christmas time again and all the familys here My dad and Uncle Jack have filled themselves with beer My Auntie Edi's up the stairs, shes old and very ill I sit and keep her company, and help her take her pills Oh these family days Gone Forever |
Well tomorrows sky's are filled with yesterday's
dreams Aand the milk in the kitchen has gone sour Well I'm feeling pretty weary and worn out at the seams And my head feels to big for my body Pick me up, I'm feeling down Pick me up, I'm feeling down Warm my bones beside the fire Cos I feel so very old today When I get this feeling that my heads too big Could it be the turning of the tides Well it could be the moon or something up above But the sky looks very big and very wide Pick me up, I'm feeling down Pick me up, I'm feeling down Warm my bones beside the fire Cos I feel so very old today When I try to find some comfort in the few things that I own I realize I've thrown them all away For some idea or some ideal of the life I want to lead It gives me some comfort anyway |

FREAK IN A FARMER'S HAT | PLACEHOLDER | |
Down a Dublin lane the rain is falling, daffodils
waning, summertime calling I found love but still I'm stallin, it's hard to make a vow Saw a clown, with worn out shoes, juggling fire as he read the news All I've got is love to loose, I'm as poor as a church mouse Saw the ducks and bread they pecked, and I killed a midge cos it bit my neck I thought of how my life had been, always thought I was far too thin I wondered of a life beyond, sunlight glistening on the pond Felt sad for life's sweet folly, as a little girl cried as she dropped her lolly Cos I'm a freak, in a farmers hat I didn't speak, sat where I sat By the pond, for a little while Bells were ringing and a pretty girl smiled ahhhhh ahhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhha ahhhhhhhhhh Happy Tramp he wobbled by, sunlight kissed the bright blue sky And a family held a little child, said ducks go crack & the baby smiled And the sun sank in the afternoon, shadows stretching to greet the moon Life goes on, so sad to say all things must pass so I'm on my way Cos I'm a freak, in a farmers hat I didn't speak, sat where I sat By the pond, for a little while Bells were ringing and a pretty girl smiled ahhhhh ahhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhha ahhhhhhhhhh (She'll always have the angels near, for all my dreams I'll shed a tear As I loose each one in a pint of beer and play the night away) |

GROUPER FISH | GROWING OLD | |
Blow me one of those kisses like you do Wish me one of those wishes like you do Cast me one of those sidelong glances like you do Living out our little canned romances like you do Come with me we'll kiss the fishbowl Swim with me, kiss the fishbowl Come with me wi'll kiss the fishbowl Grouper Fish never know the cold Show me some of that pent up violence like you do I'll leave you with a long drawn out silence like i do Treat me with a little endless patience like you do I'll talk a little bit of stuff and nonsense like i do Come with me we'll kiss the fishbowl Swim with me, kiss the fishbowl Come with me wi'll kiss the fishbowl Grouper Fish never know the cold Pick me some of those flowers like you do Washing away the hours like we do Polish the glass around us like you do Waiting for love to drown us like we do |
I'm looking forward to growing old I'm looking forward to looking back I'm looking forward to growing old Days by the fire Nights in the sack with you .... Bring me a saucepan and an old wooden spoon We'll stir up a stew by the light of the moon Sing me a song and I'll ring out a tune Put up your feet Soon a new sun with shine on you .... Apples they grow, they fall and they rot I'll bring a basket and gather the lot Two in the earth is worth one in the pot A pie in the oven Is baked piping hot For you .... You gather the apples, I'll gather the wood You build a fire, I'll throw the ashes into the mud Shutter the windows, shelter from the storm Wrap yourself around me, I'll keep you nice and warm I'm looking forward to growing old I'm looking forward to looking back I'm looking forward to growing old Days by the fire Nights in the sack with you .... with you .... with you .... with you |

HISTORY | HOME AGAIN | |
The swept the road with the greatest of ease Ridding the pavement of all litter and leaves She smiled at the blustery day For she knew that things would always be this way. Sweep away Sweep away if only just to keep away The wolf from you doorstep for just another day Time will only tell if you keep you history well Or did you tie you past around you like a leper with his bell History hobbles on crooked cobbles His crutches can't carry his crippled frame His sermon would falter from every alter And then fall to the earth like frozen rain Take me back to the streets where time wears tatters Back to the streets where only one thing matters Where the blood in your veins is pumping through the cobbles It's in these remains that our history hobbles History hobbles on crooked cobbles His crutches can't carry his crippled frame His sermon would falter from every alter And then fall to the earth like frozen rain Bleed away Bleed away for you children need a way To fathom as a future from the depths of yesterday Untangling the weeds whick are strangling our roots Until we plant a seed we may never pluck a fruit History hobbles on crooked cobbles His crutches can't carry his crippled frame His sermon would falter from every alter And then fall to the earth like frozen rain |
Ragged-robin at the break of day Bright blue brolly, blew down the lane Rubber-eyed dolly, played on a swing Forty-nine blackbirds began to sing Under the ground you can hear the worms sigh You never know what you'll find, underneath the grey sky Home again, where the people are half crazy Home again, when there's no where else to go Home again, you can sit down and be lazy Home Again The hair-bells rang, and the bugles blew The cobwebs washed, in the morning dew I crayoned the meadow deep pea green Down the lane the big red monster farm machine Home again, where the people are half crazy Home again, when there's no where else to go Home again, you can sit down and be lazy Home Again Beetle in a matchbox, leaf on a tree Goats wearing overcoats, covered in fleas The children danced, as the piper played Into the mountain, he lead the parade. Home again, where the people are half crazy Home again, when there's no where else to go Home again, you can sit down and be lazy Home Again Home Again |

Clap my hands and stomp my feet, cold and
frosty day I'll fill my cup with sweetness & love will come my way I'll tip my hat and I'll say hello to the people passing me by I spread my love and blow my horn as I reach out for the sky She's making it all worthwhile She's making it all worthwhile She's across the sea but I can still see her smile I'm thinking of the good things all that I can do Smell of the turf smoke and the taste of the cabbage stew I try to speak from the hear, and learn the right from the wrong I'll see boats go sailing by as I sing my favorite song She's making it all worthwhile She's making it all worthwhile She's across the sea but I can still see her smile She's making it all worthwhile She's making it all worthwhile She's across the sea but I can still see her smile |

RATTLIN' DOWN THE RAILS | RED SHOES | |
Rattlin' down the rails my friend Rattlin' down the rails Rattlin' down the rails my friend To a brand new way to a brand new day If you're feelin' blue If you're feelin' blue If you're feelin' blue my friend Well this is my advice to you The road is wet and shiney, when it rains Your hair is beautiful, covered in snails You've got a happy skirt, looks good today You've got a happy friend, here to stay (alright!) |
Well my old red shoes are worn right through In the country side with you We found a field of cows A steamboat to the zoo . . . The box brownie cameras along With the words to write this song On this beautiful blue day Lalalalalalala lalala lalala Lalalalalalala lalala lalala Lalalalalalala lalalalala It's a beautiful, beautiful blue day The flowers are lit up by the sun's rays there Plenty of green grass you cans sit anywhere (No need for a chair) Lie back in the grass and think of other days gone by And it's a beautiful blue day Lalalalalalala lalala lalala Lalalalalalala lalala lalala Lalalalalalala lalalalala It's a beautiful, beautiful blue day |

SHIP, THE | SHIP SINK DOWN | |
Our ship is a funny old ship With crooked mast and the sail has a rip We'll be tarring the hull everytime we write a song We'll be sailing in her soon now it won't be long Got a splintered foot from plank on deck Our ship is a loveable wreck Don't need no captain to lay down the rules Some might say that we're a ship of fools Blue, blue, sky is blue, ship it sails at half past two Sail in her and God bless you Green, green sea is green, jellyfish and submarine This is for all the things I've seen Picture yourself upon the deck Picture the deck upon the sea Picture the sea upon the world Picture the world, up in the sky See the sun shining down See the sun shine down on me Feel the sun shine down on you . . . . on you Blue, blue, sky is blue, ship it sails at half past two Sail in her and God bless you Green, green sea is green, jellyfish and submarine This is for all the things I've seen Blue, blue, sky is blue, ship it sails at half past two Sail in her and God bless you Green, green sea is green, jellyfish and submarine This is for all the things I've seen |
Could you believe, if you feet start getting
we Would you believe your brother would cast you out his net Could you believe if your all washed up and running out of hope Could you believe you sister would hand you down a rope. Love it comes in many shapes any sizes Sometimes it's hard to see through the disguises In a hard world, in this love affair, in this cruel and bittersweet world I won't let this ship sink down [REPEAT] Could you believe my life, is hanging in your hands Would you believe I don't know who's carrying the plans Sometimes we're slaves tow our own devices We can only live and learn and sometimes pay the prices In a hard world , in this love affair , in the cruel and bitter sweet world Love it comes in many shapes any sizes Sometimes it's hard to see through the disguises In a hard world, in this love affair, in this cruel and bittersweet world I won't let this ship sink down [REPEAT] |

SMILING FACE | SOLDIERS BOOTS | |
Well the old days are old And the young days are new So lend me your wings and we'll fly to the moon I caught a glimpse as I looked in the room I could see you there looking at me ..... looking is free And my life it is short and eternity's long And I know things are strange, things they go wrong But I like the way that you're smiling at me So let's make it together today ..... under a tree Tell me why do I spend so much time in the city When it makes me feel bad, skin feels so gritty I'm looking at you and you're looking so pretty So would you make company with me ..... over some tea Inspiration didn't come, and the day was nearly done I blew in from the wind into the place The most pleasant surprise today was this smiling face It's chilly outside now the summer is gone Another year older, another year on Well I ran from the people who tried to cling on Tell me what is left in the end Just your memories .... in your notebooks in your photographs .... in the songs that we sing |
Do you remember the shelter in our eyes Sang out the little hearts beneath the skies We sailed the stormy seas of lies and liberty Always running, trying to be free Cos we were painting flowers on soldiers boots No time for sorrow we were searching for recruits Running free, with each others company Do you remember the earth beneath our feet Good will and daily bread came from the street And the canopy of blue was a home for me & you Always running digging for the truth Cos we were painting flowers on soldiers boots No time for sorrow we were searching for recruits Running free, with each others company Do you remember the madness in our brain When a rick man poor man beggar seemed the same Out there on common land we shook each other's hands We were seeing visions like jewels in the sun Cos we were painting flowers on soldiers boots No time for sorrow we were searching for recruits Running free, with each others company O lonely feeling now I hope we stay the same Even heaven's lonely when no one knows your name And sister time she'll come, she'll say what have you do Don't you let her, steal you dreams away |
