| ALWAYS REMEMBER | PLACEHOLDER | |
| I was walking out the road when I heard the noise behind me And I saw them standing there one two three And I knew that I was shagged I did not think they could find me And the hate was on their faces plain to see Well it's great to see you lads It's a long time since I robbed you Did you miss the hundred pounds I took that day And I reached inside my coat and I read them my prescription and I laughed at how they turned and ran away These are the things I will always remember They have seen me through hatred and pain They kept me warm in the dark of December When the light has gone they still remain It was long so long ago on a stormy night she left me At the time it seemed so brutal and so tough I saw her the other day with her husband and ten kids And I thought she had turned out to be sorta rough One fine day when I was young and I left home for the first time And it felt as if my life had begun My old father grabbed my hand I can still recall his words He said be sure to never trust a hippy son When the sun goes down I won't surrender to despair and moan I will sustain it anytime of year June or September When the light has gone they still remain. |

| BREAKING THROUGH | BUCHAREST | |
| There she was across the bar My eyes met her, she wasn't far I asked her to dance and she said yes That's when it turned into a mess I'm not breaking through Breaking through the lines today I'm not talking about Talking about the things you say On behalf of honesty Your availability Now I've come now you're gone Why can't we just get along |
Shot in the head in a bar in Bucharest I was just hoping to score I was standing there broke Laughing at some joke When the world burst throught the door I was dreaming of Stonehenge in '68 When I met your old dear On a blind date Shot in the head in a bar in Bucharest Shot in the head in a bar in Bucharest Shot in the head in a bar in Bucharest I was just hoping to score Shot in the head in a bar in Bucharest What was the promise you made It was 14 years since I'd shed any tears And even longer since I got laid And it was only then As I was lying there I thought I really like to change The style of my hair Shot in the head in a bar in Bucharest Blood went all over the floor There was a four piece band The biggest in the land I heard the crowd call out for more It was clear to me Anyone could tell That they had nothing to say But they said it so well |

| There she was my soap box Derby queen The girl I loved was the girl from yesterday So I walked up to her and asked her what's your name? She smiled and turned I suppose it was my fame I want your body, I want your body Chloe I need your body I want your body, I want your body Chloe I need your body Chloe Chucked and died the all important cause That's when she started to see my flaws So she took my hand and we walked to Sydney parade Down an alleyway I met suburbia's grave There we stood in the pouring rain My eyes met hers She could see my pain |

| DEATHWATCH | DON'T GO FAR | |
| I was a happy boy living on the dole When you came and ruined it all on me I'd sit for hours all day in my good friend's home Smoking cigarettes and drinking tea We were so happy there, talk our lives away Talking 'bout our hopes and all our dreams Till you came round one day with your great big plan And you tried to ruin me with your schemes And your Mammy and your Daddy well they call you Mary But they shoulda called you Deathwatch Shoulda called you Deathwatch Cause you nearly were the death of me Lads told me you were no good I turned them away Said that you just wanted things from me Then you made me get a job and I understood I was in too deep I'd not be free And then I gave up drink cos you asked me too I was shaving each day before long Then you said we had to save for a mortgage soon That was when the light began to dawn Didn't even say goodbye just walked away From the burderns you had put on me Don't know why I even tried to be something I'm not All I know's I wanted to be free Now I'm a happy boy living on the dole Smoking cigarettes and drinking tea I'll find some other girl to have me as I am You can take your twisted love to sea |
All your life you tell me that you've felt the same C'mon I think it's time to plass the blame On the shoulders of someone and you that someone is you Cause the time is right and right now there's nothing better to do Oh baby you know it's gonna be alright Oh baby you know that it's called life Don't go far It doesn't have to be this way Don't go far Although there's nothing left to say Don't go far You know I don't care anyway If you go just please don't go today Well c'mon now girl what's wrong with you tonight Just because I'm wrong doesn't always mean that you're right I've tried to do all the things that you asked me to do But I've got to admit it doesn't seem like I'm getting through In this drunken state I can't go home so what am I gonna do It never meant a thing until I heard it meant something to you |

| EVEN HER LOVE | PLACEHOLDER | |
| I wondered why she looked so lonely And I wondered why he was not by her side After a while I chanced to ask her He's feeling so bad she said I don't know why They took him off last week to the hospital He was a danger to himself they said Something went wrong so deep inside his him Now I'm like a stranger standing by his bed Still she wonders where he goes wonders why and how But even her love can't reach him Even her love can't reach him Even her love can't reach him The way he's feeling now What could it be that takes him so far away So far inside himself where he can hide I watched him fight this as it dragged him down Into a place so dark and cold she cried She looked so tired and strained as she spoked to me I looked for words to say to ease her pain Still we both knew he'd come through this once before And we just hoped he'd do the same again. |

| FEILE | FOLLOW ME UP TO CARLOW | |
| All the boys and the girls are here again In a small little town A town on its own A town all around There's flagons there's cans And there's chip vans Everyone's happy to be here once again They're at the Feile We're at the Feile We're at the Feile Where are you? There's Christy And Carter and Therapy too And when Simply Red came on Everyone spewed And I'm so happy to be here once again Dancing and shouting and riding away Now it's over Everyone's gone The tent's all packed We hear no song And I'm so happy to be here once again dancing and shouting and riding away |
Lift mcCahir Og your face You're brooding over the old disgrace That Black Fitzwilliam stormed your place and sent you to the ferns Grey said victory was sure Soon the firebrand he'd secured Until he met at Glenmalure with Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne Curse and swear Lord Kildare Fiach will do what fiach will dare Now Fitzwilliam have a care Fallen is your star low Up with halberd our with sword On we go for by the Lord Fiach MacHugh has given the word Follow me up to Carlow. See the swords of Glen Imaal Go flashing o'er the English pale See all the children on the Gael beneath O'Byrne's banner Rooster of the fighting stock Would you let a saxon cock Crow out upon an Irish rock, fly up and teach him manners From Teach Sagard to Clonmore There flows a stream of Saxon gore And great is Rory Og O'More at sending the loons to hades White is sick and Grey has fled Now for Black Fitzwilliam's head We'll send it over dripping red to Liza and her ladies |

| You said you found intensity so sublime And that he seemed so different from all the rest But then he went and said you were out of line Because you wore a t-shirt without a vest And now he calls your office ten times every day He's asking what you're doing and who was about It always ends in silence with nothing to say Then he gets so tense that he starts to shout Because Frank's a psychopath all the time He spends his whole life running away Frank's a psychopath change his mind Cos if you can't I'd say we're all gonna pay You used to say I never showed you respect I didn't give attention to all your needs So when you walked away you had no regrets But now you feel like biting this hand that feeds Because he shows up drunk and on drugs every night He's asking who you've been with and where did you go He's got a hundred reasons for starting a fight I know it's mean to gloat but I told you so You used to boast that he was your true destiny But now he hates your friends and he wants you to choose I know it sounds so smug but I think you should see That a love like this could be hard to lose. |

| GALWAY TOWN | GEEKTIME | |
| First she came on like a breeze She came on like the gales of winter Blew my mind and broke my will And left me there to die Then she broke the spell she'd cast The past was always there behind me Rolling like the clouds at last My dreams were in the sky We went down to Galway town To see the sights and see the races All the things she did and said I kept them in my mind At the bus stop near the square Her hair fell down around her face I swore there was no more in store I'd nothing left to find We went down to Galway Town Just to see what might be happening We went down to Galway Town We went down the mountain side We went down to Galway Town Just to see what might be happening On the streets of Galway Town Best place in the world to hide We had burgers and some chips And the rain it came a falling Took a taxi to Salthill With bad things in my head She was wearing lovely clothes The bouncer came and broke my nose She said said oh just leave it go I swore that he was dead In the morning then We went to walk along down by the sea shore Talking about the night before The music that they played She said that she wanted home And never more the world to roam So that day I went away And she moved down and stayed I was in Croke Park One rainy Sunday near the first of August Watched the Leinster final It was Dublin and Kildare They led us a merry dance We never even had a chance At the side I'd say we tried but swore I didn't care Some day I'll go back out West And see the streets we walked together I don't know now where she is I don't think that I care If it gets too bad around here I'll run like hell from all my problems If you've got some blues I'll tell you, you can lose them there |
Content in cruise control But while the world was spinning you were fast asleep The mob had moved their goal And then they went straight for it 'cos they act like sheep You watched it fall apart Then you woke up one morning and the rules had changed You let them break your heart But now you they look right through you like you're so deranged it's Geektime Freaktime You're lost in the crowd without a clue It's not that much to say There should still be some way That you can make it through You start to feel that chill I know you don't deserve it but you're in disgrace A case of wait until You can regain perspective and rejoin their race So they can't understand You spend your whole day pleading that you did no wrong That it's not what you planned You never set your stall out and you don't belong in .... Don't let them make you quit Or say you must accept this as the only way Cos they're just full of it They never spent one minute never spent one day in... |

| GOODBYE MY GIRL | PLACEHOLDER | |
| I was thinking of home as the bus pulled away Take me to the Cape and you knowing what I had to do And the sun it beat down all along the highway As I thought about the day when I told you I would stay I was trying just to find the words to tell you That I had to go and leave it all behind I had to go back to the land where I had come from I'd lost what I came to find had to leave it all behind And the lights of old Boston still shine on you now Where you'll be what they want you to be Yeah the lights of old Boston still shine on you now And you know in your heart in your heart you must be free Goodbye my girl don't you know I hate to leave you Goodbye my girl and I hate to see you cry Goodbye my girl don't you know I hate to leave you But it's better this way to say goodbye You were smiling when you met me at the station And I wondered if you'd cry when I told you I would die If I had to stay one more week in this nation It's the land of the free but not where I want to be And you asked me if I loved you more than Ireland And to tell the truth the answer it was no Cause I just knew that I could never make this my land In the home of the brave I would only find a grave As I got aboard the plane my heart was breaking As I left you there in pain with no words that could explain Why I had to make to make the journey I was making Had to leave you alone but then how could you have known All the things I was feeling deep inside me As I sat there I wondered how I could love a country more than I could love you As the plane took off and flew I just knew that it was true |

| So tired of the race you were out of your face When you said that you'd take a vacation Away from the pain and the mind numbing strain Of your drastically changed situation Your friends said you should it would do you some good To break out of that morbid routine You've been here a day it's not easy to say But you're starting to see what they mean Standby for Majorca sunshine and beer Escape from the rain eases the pain but I wish you were here You sit by the pool and you feel like a fool 'Cos your mind doesn't match what you're wearing All morning you fought in your heart 'cos you thought You'd be left with this burden you're bearing You're starting to brood there's a change in the mood So you go for a walk in the sand There might be a way this could all be OK It just won't be the way that you planned Standby for Majorca sunshine and beer It's ninety degrees under the trees but I wish you were here You're taking some stick 'cos you're dressed up so slick And you're starting to fancy your chances Still bored with the pub you'd endure the flash club As a means to some short term romances There's one in the queue and she's staring at you And it's making you feel so alive It might be sometime 'till you'd call yourself fine But at least you're now gonna survive Standby for Majorca sunshine and beer It's great to unwind far from the grind but I wish you were here |

| My God this town needs a shakedown Any more I'll be having a breakdown Working for the weekend to come around And when they do there's still nothing going down Cos I've been thinking about taking a holiday Nowhere special some sun and a place to stay All I know is I've got to get away Won't make it just living day to day Cause I've been thinking about a thousand different things and every time I try to think I realise it doesn't matter to me That's no way for someone to go I don't have to tell you, you should know And these days I think it's time that you let go You're staring out of your window Onto the wasteland down below Maybe that was the way it was meant to be But you know that will never be me My girl she moved to the city Dope messed her up she don't look so pretty I only see her every now and then these days And when I do we ain't got so much to say She said she'd never be a wasted hippy girl Too much to lose so little time to change the world Would not believe it only I was there that night Passed out on the floor fighting for her life Now I'm watching crap on the TV What did I do before she used to call round to me And I know this is getting out of hand I tried to run when I knew I could hardly stand |

| SOBER AGAIN | SOMETIMES | |
| The usual morons were fighting outside that place Inside the posing was rife I wasn't ready like you to accept them As peers for the rest of my life Poised for a picture that no one was taking You'd hang on their worlds as a rule I'd never bought that but still was afraid To get caught on the wrong side of cool Time to go sober again Same old faces and nothing is new Leaving today I'd no right to go say That I hate what they're doing to you The only one you'd ever wanted to be was yourself But they had to have more They told you to change what you thought to combine With the image that most of them wore You said if I stayed I might win their approval And that would mean so much to you I'd say I'll be back but for now all I know Is I need something different to do |
I'm not here to change you Rule or rearrange you Or to test and see if you can still be strong I've not come to harm you Hate you or disarm you I just want to know if we can belong Sometimes light breaks in the morning Even though love's gone and hope's so hard to find Sometimes light breaks with the dawning The sun shines on a wounded mind I don't want to blame you Dominate or shame you Or to make you see one day the way I do I've not come to push you Cramp your style or crush you I just want to sit down And find what's true |

When you look in the mirror do you like what you see Can you hide the fear behind your eyes Are they gonna think you're as tough as can be Or will they see right through your disguise You never really thought it could happen to you And now look at the tables are turned That was your desire just to play with fire And now you got your fingers burned |

| As I get home at 6AM gone out to work all day With me boots on me feet and me cap on me head In bed I would I could stay Cause I'm too old to spend my time shifting sods and clay And the wife won't give me what I want cause I'm so old and grey For a wack of the widdle a widdle a wack A widdle a wack all day For a wack of the widdle a widdle a wack I'll widdle my life way As I get home from saving the hay my arms and legs do say Sit down you drunk put your arse on the stump and get stuck in the tea With the wife on me back and the kids all brats screaming in my ear Go on you old git you're full of shit you won't last out the year Well I'd seen it all my cup was full and I walked out the door And I sold my house and I sold my land and I never saw them no more Now I lie all day in the Spanish sun with a girl on either side If I'd have stayed I'd never get laid it's there I would have died |
By the lights of St. Dominic Street Bridge she was waiting She was waiting for me to arrive And she told me much later that while she was waiting She had felt so in love and alive And then much later we rolled up at her house Then we laughed at the stupidest thing And then we cried when we thought of tomorrow And the strangeness the future can bring Let your pain just leave you when you sing she said Let your pain just leave you when you sing Let your pain just leave you when you sing she said And may God to you his mercy bring Now the lights of St. Dominic Street Bridge are still shining But I never thought we would survive When I think of the sad things that we did together I still feel so in love and alive And then much later we sometimes go walking And then I have to fight back the tears When I think of the thing that she told me so often And the way that it calmed down my fears |
