Aslan - This Time
Drawing faces in a padded room
With nothing but echoes of screams
Am I insane, am I untamed
Is this the answer, or is it a game
Feels like nothing
And it looks like you're nothing at all
And we all go down this time
Has the world forgotten about me
Am I left here to suffer my pain
Call out to mother, cos there ain't no other
To stop you from crying, crying again
This time, oh this time
Changing places where you once found love
Now everything's falling apart
Are you alone, too far from home
Are you just mindless, or are you a fool
Feels like nothing
And it looks like you're nothing at all
And we all go down this time
Has the world forgotten about me
Am I left here to suffer my pain
Call out to mother, cos there ain't no other
To stop you from crying, crying again
This time, this time I ain't have no fear
This time, everything I wanted was here
Feels like you're nothing
Feels like nothing at all
Feels like you're nothing at all
Call out to mother
Cos there ain't no other
To stop you from crying, crying again
This time, Oh this time
Call out to mother
Cos there ain't no other
To stop you from crying again
Call out to mother
Cos there ain't no other
To stop you from crying again
Call out to mother
Cos there ain't no other
To stop you from crying again
Call out to mother
Cos there ain't no other
To stop you from crying again
Call out to mother
Cos there ain't no other
To stop you from crying again
Call out to mother
Cos there ain't no other
To stop you from crying again
Call out to mother
Cos there ain't no other
To stop you from crying again
Bagatelle - Summer In Dublin
Take me away from the city and lead me to where I can be on my own,
I wanted to see it, and now that I have, I want just to be left alone,
I'll always remember your kind words, and I'll still remember your name,
But I've seen you changing and turning, and I know that things won't be the same.
I remember that summer in Dublin, and the liffey as it stank like hell,
And the young people walking on Grafton street, and everyone looking so well,
I was singing a song I heard somewhere, called "Rock 'n' roll never forgets",
When my hummin' was smothered by a 46a and the scream of a low flying jet.
So I jumped on a bus to dun laoire, stoppin' off to pick up my guitar,
And a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich.
I was glad we weren't goin' too far.
So I'm leavin' on Wednesday morning tryin' to find a place where I can hear
The tunes of the birds and the sea on the rocks, where open roads always are near,
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet, and I want to walk back up that hill,
I'll just get on the road and stick out my thumb.
I know that you'll be there still.
Bell X1 - Rocky Took a Lover
He said, 'I wanna shine in the eye of Orion
But I drove my soul through the Black Hole!'
She said, 'That's a wonderful way to wake me
But you weren't so nice last night
You're such an asshole when you're drunk'
And he said, 'At least I'm okay in the mornings'
He said, 'The three wise men came a long way
Following that pin hole in the sky
Yeah that one right there'
She said, 'I don't believe in any old Jesus
As if there was a God, then why is my arse the perfect height for kicking?'
And he said, 'I'll shine for you'
He said, 'I'll burn for you
I'll shine for you
Yeah, that's what I'll do'
He said, 'They're like headlights in the rear view mirror
They're closer that they seem
And from this gutter, we're still staring at the stars'
She said, 'Would ya go away and shite
Last night all you did was curse those stars
You said they sang to you of hope'
He said, 'The sun gives life, and it takes it away
But like all the greats, it'll burn out someday'
She said, 'I don't mind
No, I don't want to get bored
I don't want to end up beached on this shore
I want to be that star
I want to be that star
Oh, let me be that star
I want to be that star
Then I can shine for you
Then I can burn for you
I'll shine for you
That's what I'll do'
That's what I'll do
That's what I'll do
That's what I'll do
That's what I'll do
Chris de Burgh - Lady in Red
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright, mhm-hmm
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
I have been blind
The lady in red
Is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know
This beauty by my side, yeah
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, you took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The lady (in red)
(Is dancing with me) cheek to cheek
(There's nobody here) there's nobody here (it's just you and me
It's where I wanna to be
(But I hardly know) I hardly know this beauty by my side, yeah
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red, the lady in red
(The lady in red) my lady in red
Christy Moore - Missing You
In nineteen hundred and eighty six
There's not much for a chippie but swinging a pick
And you can't live on love, on love alone
So you sail cross the ocean, away cross the foam
To where you're a Paddy, a Biddy or a Mick
Good for nothing but stacking a brick
Your best mate's a spade and he carries a hod
Two work horses heavily shod
Oh I'm missing you
I'd give all for the price of a flight
Oh I'm missing you
Under Piccadilly's neon
Who did you murder, are you a spy?
I'm just fond of a drink helps me laugh, helps me cry
So I just drink red biddy for a permanent high
I laugh a lot less and I'll cry till I die
All ye young people now take my advice
Before crossing the ocean you'd better think twice
Cause you can't live without love, without love alone
The proof is round London in the nobody zone
Where the summer is fine, but the winter's a fridge
Wrapped up in old cardboard under Charing Cross Bridge
And I'll never go home now because of the shame
Of misfit's reflection in a shop window pane
Christy Moore - The Voyage
I am a sailor, you're my first mate
We signed on together, we coupled our fate
Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail
For the heart's treasure, together we set sail
With no maps to guide us we steered our own course
Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force
Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope
Working together we learned how to cope
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled waters that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered 'round us, we have our own crew
Together we're in this relationship
We've built it with care to last the whole trip
Our true destination's not marked on any charts
We're navigating to the shores of the heart
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled waters that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered 'round us, we have our own crew
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled waters that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered 'round us, we have our own crew
Damien Rice - The Blowers Daughter
And so it is just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
most of the time
And so it is the shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes
And so it is just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is the colder water
The Blower's Daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind
my mind my mind
'Til I find somebody new
Damien Rice - Cannonball
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can't say what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
And life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love it taught me to lie
And life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
Glen Hansard - Falling Slowly
I don't know you but I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me and always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You'll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Takе this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got timе
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You'll make it now
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You'll make it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along
Glen Hansard - Fool's Game
It's a fool's, fool's game
Lover, that we have to play
Crashing into each other
No convalescing
It's a leap of faith
Lover, that we blindly take
I'm taking it with you and no other
No hesitating
And if our minds they go
And our bones they shatter
We'll put it on nobody
But ourselves
It's an old refrain
Lover, that we hear again
Urging a cautious measure
Sounding a warning
It's a thin escape
Lover, that we hope to make
When we're beaten, broken and battered
Beyond consoling
And the breezes blow
And to the winds we're scattered
And we're fending for nobody
But ourselves
It's a fool's, fool's game
When you've nothing but a heart to break
Better keep on breaking it, lover
Until it opens
It's a speeding train
Beating through the pouring rain
With no way to slow or stop it
And the tracks are broken
Like a rising wave
Through the storms we gather
And we're falling on nobody
But ourselves
Hot House Flowers - Don't Go
[Verse 1]
Yeah, there's smell of fresh cut grass and it's filling up my senses
And the sun is shining down on the blossoms in the avenue
There's a buzzing fly hanging around the bluebells and the daisies
There's a lot more loving, yeah, left in this world
[Chorus]
Don't go
Don't leave me now, now, now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while, yeah
[Verse 2]
And I lie on warm and soft sandy beaches
And my toes are submerged in the water and it feels good
Children playing, building castles on the shoreline
Like a painted little love, and Lord, it feels so fine
[Chorus]
Don't go
Don't leave me now, now, now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while, yeah

There's white horses and they're coming at me
And they face now, and
There's a blue sirocco blowing warm into my face
The sun is shining on the other side of the bridges
And the cars going by with smiles in the windows
There's a black cat lying in the shadow of the gate-post
And the black cat keeps telling me that love is on its way, yeah
There's a black cat lying in the shadow of the gate-post
And the black cat tells me that love is on its way

Hozier - Cherry Wine
[Verse 1]
Her eyes and words are so icy
Oh, but she burns like rum on a fire
Hot and fast and angry as she can be
I walk my days on a wire
[Pre-Chorus]
It looks ugly, but it's clean
Oh mama, don't fuss over me
[Chorus]
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist, oh, would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
[Verse 2]
Calls of guilty thrown at me, all while she stains
The sheets of some other
Thrown at me so powerfully, just like she throws
With the arm of her brother
[Pre-Chorus]
But I want it, it's a crime
That she's not around most of the time
[Chorus]
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist, oh, would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Her fight and fury's fiery
Oh, but she loves like sleep to the freezing
Sweet and right and merciful, I'm all but washed
In the tide of her breathing
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's worth it, it's divine
I have this some of the time
[Chorus]
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist, oh, would be fine
The blood is rare and as sweet as cherry wine
Hozier - Too Sweet
[Verse 1]
It can't be said I'm an early bird
It's 10 o'clock before I say a word
Baby, I can never tell
How do you sleep so well?
You keep tellin' me to live right
To go to bed before the daylight
But then you wake up for the sunrise
You know you don't gotta pretend
Baby, now and then
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you just wanna wake up, dark as a lake
Smellin' like a bonfire, lost in a haze?
If you're drunk on life, babe, I think it's great
But while in this world
[Chorus]
I think I'll take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at 3
You're too sweet for me
You're too sweet for me
I take my whiskеy neat
My coffee black and my bed at 3
You're too sweet for mе
You're too sweet for me

I work late where I'm free from the phone
And the job gets done
But you worry some, I know
But who wants to live forever, babe?
You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate
The rest of you like you're the TSA
I wish I could go along
Babe, don't get me wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
You know you're bright as the morning, as soft as the rain
Pretty as a vine, as sweet as a grape
If you can sit in a barrel, maybe I'll wait
Until that day
[Chorus]
I'd rather take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at 3
You're too sweet for me
You're too sweet for me

Hozier - Take Me To Church
[Verse 1]
My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's gettin' more bleak
A fresh poison each week
We were born sick, you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
[Pre-Chorus]
A, amen
Amen, amen
[Chorus]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death

My lover's the sunlight
To keep the goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole sea, get somethin' shiny
Somethin' meaty for the main course
That's a fine lookin' high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starvin' faithful
That looks tasty, that looks plenty
This is hungry work
[Chorus]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life

Kodaline - All I Want
[Verse 1]
All I want is nothing more
To hear you knocking at my door
'Cause if I could see your face once more
I could die a happy man, I'm sure
When you said your last goodbye
I died a little bit inside
I lay in tears in bed all night
Alone without you by my side
[Chorus]
But if you loved me, why'd you leave me?
Take my body, take my body
All I want is and all I need is
To find somebody, I'll find somebody
Like you, oh, oh, oh
Like you, like you
[Verse 2]
So you brought out the best of me
A part of me I'd never seen
You took my soul and wiped it clean
Our love was made for movie screens

For the sun, for the light
For the ride and for the masters
We come to be kind
To be warm here and after
We've been out but we're back
Because we're graced in these matters
And we'll rise
And we did a little love
But we walked
We make a sound for the mesto
Make a little call to the right
To the ball and to the mast-top
And we

We fool around now and again
We're looking good

And we lack a little love, but a sign
A sign to get a little messed up
Picking up the rules, for the chimes
Making up minds and making it last us

Paddy Casey - Fear
I'm scared for my child, lord, for her mother
For what you people wanna do to one another
For the water, for the trees --
Man, I'm scared of pollution, of disease
And I'm scared that my child won't live a long time
With your murderin', rape and your drug money crime;
Scared of the drugs stealing youth from the young
Well their life story; well that'll never be sung
And I pray my child lives happy and long
And I hope she never will sing this song
And I pray, my child, live happy and long, Lord
And I hope she never will sing this song
Well as some men talk of peace now -- good intentions
I'm only gonna look at his latest inventions
Hope I'm wrong, Heard I'm right --
Man he could end it all tonight
I know upon this night another village is burning;
Child lose their life as their first sun is turning;
Leaders of holocaust stand so tall;
Man it looks like there ain't no value in life at all...
Well I pray my child will live happy and long, Lord
And I hope she never will sing this song
So lord please forgive me if my fear offend now --
It's just so hard to transcend now
Cause when i ran away from my bad dream
The child inside was too scared and screamed
Paddy Casey - Saints And Sinners
Anyone can loose it all
Anyone can loose it all
If you don't heed your warnings call
Anyone can loose it all
Anyone can make a mess
Anyone can make a mess
Just take so much and make it less
Anyone can make a mess
When you got time and streets making saints & sinners
Ink on sheets makin' losers and winners
Well it's not what your dreams should be
Anyone can be a saint
Well anyone can be a saint
Well you just forget that you ain't
Well we can go and be a saint
Anyone can be a star
Well anyone can be a star
We'll just get in your car
And we can go and be a star
When you got time and streets making saints & sinners
Ink on sheets makin' losers and winners
Well it's not what your dreams should be
You know I wish we had more time
You know I wish we had more time
You know I think it was a crime
The things we waste trying to not waste our time
When you got time and streets making ends for beginners
Shuffling feets on these losers and winners
Well it's not what your dreams should be
Paddy Casey - Sweet Suburban Sky
Sweet suburban sky, gonna miss you if you burn
Curse you, when it's our turn, so come now wash your face
In water's full of grace, 'cause only time will tell
When you'll be willing to sell, your body for one precious taste, then all is left to waste
Sweet suburban sky........
Doctor feels the pain, that caused the sickening rain
But you continue to compromise, there won't be no alibis
When there's no water to wash the burning sun from your eyes
Sweet suburban sky......
So when you finally taste, all of the waste
Sign of the time, you won't even call it a crime
The water's coming round again, maybe you'll be gone by then
But they won't thank our generation
For the ignorant inclination, cause when there's nowhere
Left to hide, maybe then they'll call it genocide..
Paul Brady - Nobody Knows
Johnny's got high expectations, he's going to rise
Everyone knows, that Johnny is ready, he's ready to fly
Up on the rooftop he turns to the crowd
No one is waiting, no one is there
Nobody knows why Elvis threw it all away
Nobody knows what Ruby had to hide
Nobody knows why some of us get broken hearts
And some of us find a world, that's clear and bright
You could be packed up and ready
Knowing exactly where to go
How can you miss the connection?
No use in asking, the answer is nobody knows
No use in asking, the answer is nobody knows
Johnny will keep his illusions, what else can he do?
And you can pretend, that it would be different, if it happened to you
But up on the rooftop, it's a whole other world
And who could see heaven, and not want to stay?
Nobody knows why Elvis threw it all away
Nobody knows what Ruby had to hide
Nobody knows why some of us get broken hearts
And some of us find a world, that's clear and bright
You could be packed up and ready
Knowing exactly where to go
How can you miss the connection?
No use in asking, the answer is nobody knows
No use in asking, the answer is nobody knows
The answer is nobody knows
Paul Brady - The Island
They say the skies of lebanon are burning
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
They're showing pictures on the television
Women and children dying in the streets
And we're still at it in our own place
Still trying to reach the future through the past
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone
But hey don't listen to me
This wasn't meant to be no sad song
I've sang to much of that before
Right now I only want to be here with you
Till the morning due comes falling
I want to take you to the island
And trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when there's no one around
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
They're raising banners over by the markets
White-washing slogans on the shipyard walls
Witch doctors praying for a mighty showdown
The way a holy flag is gonna fall
Up here we sacrifice our children
To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday
And teach them dying will lead us into glory
But hey don't listen to me
Cos this wasn't meant to be no sad song
We've had too much of that before
Right now I only want to be here with you
Till the morning dew comes falling
I want to take you to the island
And trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when the sun goes down
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
Now I know us plain folk don't see the bigger picture
And all this peace and love's just copping out
And the young boys dying in the ditches
Is just what being free is all about
And how this twisted wreckage down on main street
Will bring us all together in the end
As we go marching down the road to freedom, freedom
Paul Brady - The World Is What You Make It
I knew this African called Hannibal
Rock it roll it send it down the avenue
Went out to see the Roman Empire fall
Uh huh? Uh huh?
Two thousand elephants in gold chain-mail
Take it, shake it, make it what you wanna be
Them Roman legionnaires they hit the trail
Uh huh?
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it
When Cleopatra ruled in Egypt's land
Jump down, turn around, look at what the monkey did
She went to find herself a mighty man
Uh huh? Uh huh?
In come Antonio from Italy
Haul it, ball it, drag it up the pyramid
He never knew how hot a girl could be
Uh huh?
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
Don't start to hit me with your, no can do
Bluesin', losin', workin' up an attitude
Clean up them windows let the sun shine through
Uh huh? Uh huh?
There ain't no happy time without no pain
Heartbreak, new date, move on up the alleyway
Pick up them pieces hit the road again
Uh huh?
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
Sinead O'Connor - Mandinka
[Verse 1]
I'm dancing the seven veils
Want you to pick up my scarf
See how the black moon fades
Soon I can give you my heart
[Chorus]
I don't know no shame
I feel no pain
I can't see the flame
But I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do
[Verse 2]
They're throwing it all this way
Dragging it back to the start
And they say, "See how the glass is raised?"
I have refused to take part
I told them, "Drink something new"
Please let me pull something through
[Chorus]
I don't know no shame
I feel no pain
I can't
I don't know no shame
I feel no pain
I can't see the flame
But I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do
[Bridge]
I do know
I do know
[Outro]
I said I do
Soon I can give you my heart
I swear I do
Soon I can give you my heart
I do
Mandinka
Soon I can give you my heart
Soon I can give you my heart
Soon I can give you my heart
Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
[Verse 1]
It's been seven hours and sixteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whoever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing, nothing can take away these blues
[Chorus]
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you
[Verse 2]
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me
Where did I go wrong?
I can throw my arms around any girl I choose
But it just reminds me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
He said, "Boy, you better try to have fun
No matter what you do"
But he's a fool
[Chorus]
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you
[Verse 3]
All the flowers that you planted mama in your backyard
All died when you went away
And I know living with me is sometimes hard, but I'm willing
To give it another try
[Outro]
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you
To you
To you
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
[Verse 1]
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
[Chorus]
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
[Verse 2]
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
[Chorus]
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's burstin' into life
[Verse 3]
Let's waste time
Chasin' cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
[Chorus]
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's burstin' into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how, as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
[Outro]
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Something Happens - Take A Parachute
Take your parachute and jump, you can't stay here forever
When everyone else is gone, being all alone won't seem that clever
Take your parachute and go, there's gonna have to be some danger
Take your parachute and jump, you're gonna have to take flight
If the winds don't catch you, I will, I will
If the wind's not there, I'm here
Don't look out before you, you know it's a long way down
I'll make it safer for you, your parachute won't let you down
Take your parachute and go, and maybe come back tomorrow
Take your parachute, I am, stop you ever getting sorrow
If the winds don't catch you, I will, I will
If the wind's not there, I'm here
Cause the winds might change, and the winds might blow over you
And the winds might cut you in two, unless perhaps you get a raincoat
Take your parachute and go, and wave to me as you are falling
Take your parachute and jump, you'll hear a sound, it's just me calling
It's a beautiful day for jumping, and nothing's here to keep you back
I'll make it safer for you, your parachute is on your back
If the winds don't catch you, I will, I will
If the wind's not there, I'm here
Cause the winds might change, and the winds might change
Take a parachute, I am
And jump (the wind should come and catch you)
And jump (before you hit the ground)
And jump (the wind should come and catch you)
And jump (before you hit the ground)
Jump
Jump
Take your parachute
Take your parachute
Take your parachute
Take your parachute
The Cranberries - Dreams
[Verse 1]
Oh, my life
Is changin' every day
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
[Chorus]
I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feelin' it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person fallin' here is me
A different way to be
[Bridge]
Ah
La-ah-ya-ah
La-ya-ya
La-ah-ya-ah
Ya-ah, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
I want more
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Impossible not to do
[Chorus]
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart, so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
Totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me
[Verse 3]
Oh, my life
Is changin' every day
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me, dream to me
[Outro]
Ah, la-a-la-ah, la la la
La-a-la-ah, la-ah ah ah
Ah, la-a-la-ah, la la la
La-a-la-ah, la-ah ah ah
The Cranberries - Linger
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Mm-mmm
[Verse 1]
If you
If you could return
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruinin' everything
I swore, I swore I would be true
And, honey, so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lyin' all the time?
Was it just a game to you?
[Chorus]
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger, oh-oh-oh
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to?
Do you have to?
Do you have to let it linger?
[Verse 2]
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you
If you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you
[Chorus]
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger, oh-oh-oh
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to?
Do you have to?
Do you have to let it linger?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger, oh-oh-oh
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to?
Do you have to?
Do you have to let it linger?
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger, oh-oh-oh
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to?
Do you have to?
Do you have to let it linger?
The Cranberries - Zombie
[Verse 1]
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we, mistaken?
[Pre-Chorus]
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fightin'
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are cryin'
[Chorus]
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
[Verse 2]
Another mother's breakin'
Heart is takin' over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the same old theme, since 1916
In your head, in your head, they're still fightin'
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are dyin'
[Chorus]
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, eh-eh-oh, ya-ya
The Dubliners - The Irish Rover
On the Fourth of July 1806
We set sail from the sweet Cove of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the Grand City Hall in New York
'Twas a wonderful craft, she was rigged fore and aft
And oh, how the wild wind drove her
She stood several blasts, she had 27 masts
And they called her The Irish Rover
We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags
We had two million barrels of stone
We had three million sides of old blind horses hides
We had four million barrels of bones
We had five million hogs, six million dogs
Seven million barrels of porter
We had eight million bails of old nanny-goats' tails
In the hold of the Irish Rover
There was awl Mickey Coote who played hard on his flute
When the ladies lined up for a set
He was tootin' with skill for each sparkling quadrille
Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet
With his smart witty talk, he was cock of the walk
And he rolled the dames under and over
They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance
That he sailed in The Irish Rover
There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee
There was Hogan from County Tyrone
There was Johnny McGurk who was scared stiff of work
And a man from Westmeath called Malone
There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule
And Fighting Bill Treacy from Dover
And your man, Mick MacCann from the banks of the Bann
Was the skipper on the Irish Rover
For a sailor it's always a bother in life
It's so lonesome by night and by day
That he longs for the shore and a charming young whore
Who will melt all his troubles away
Oh, the noise and the rout, swillin' poitin and stout
For him soon is done and over
Of the love of a maid he is never afraid
An old salt from the Irish Rover
We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out
And the ship lost its way in the fog
And that whale of a crew was reduced down to two
Just meself and the Captain's old dog
Then the ship struck a rock, oh Lord, what a shock
The boat it was turned right over
Turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned (two, three)
I'm the last of the Irish Rover
The Frames - Lay Me Down
[Verse 1]
I will write you letters that
Explain the way I'm thinking now
I, I will return to you
What I have taken long before
I, I will return again
When it gets dark and the day is done
[Refrain]
And lay me down
In the hollowed ground
Down by your side, I will stay
So lay me down
[Verse 2]
And if you wanna stay with me
Then let me know before it's light
I, I will recoil myself
Into the black and darkest night
[Refrain]
And lay me down
In the hollowed ground
Where my father waits, I will stay
So lay me down
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
And lay me down
In the hollowed ground
Down by your side, I will stay
So lay me down
[Instrumental Outro]
The Frames - Revelate
[Verse 1]
My simple slant
This broken chant
My human fate
My revelate
Are you so far from me this day
That you can't say my revelate?
[Verse 2]
My open arms
My lucky charms
My number eight
My revelate
I fucked it up
I rest my case
'Cause it's all too grey
My revelate
[Chorus]
Sometimes I need a revelation
Sometimes it's all too hard to take
Sometimes I need a revelation
This time I'm making my own now
[Verse 3]
Does this mean we're through?
Does this mean it's gone?
I spent a day just to ponder the words
That I would write to you this day
But it's all too great, my revelate
[Chorus]
Sometimes I need a revelation
Sometimes it's all too hard to take
Sometimes I need a revelation
This time it's up in arms
[Chorus]
This time I need a revelation
Sometimes it's all too much to take
This time I need a revelation
Sometimes it's easy just to hate you
Sometimes I need a revelation
Sometimes I, sometimes I
[Outro]
Redeem yourself
Redeem yourself
Redeem yourself
The Galway Shawl
The High Kings - Galway Girl
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
When I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
You see I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
The High Kings - The Fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl callin':
"Michael, they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
So the young might see the morn
As a prison ship lies waiting in the bay"
(Chorus)
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling:
"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the Crown
I rebelled, they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity"
(Chorus)
By a lonely harbor wall
She watched the last star fallin'
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she lives to hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
(Chorus X2)
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
The High Kings - The Green Fields of France
[Verse 1]
Well how do you do, young Willy McBride?
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside
And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun
I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done
I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
When you joined the great fallen in nineteen-sixteen
I hope you died well
And I hope you died clean
Oh young Willy McBride, was is it slow and obscene?
[Chorus]
Did they beat the drums slowly?
Did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the Last Post in chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
[Verse 2]
Did you leave here a wife or a sweetheart behind?
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined?
Although you died back in nineteen-sixteen
In that faithful heart, are you forever nineteen?
Or are you a stranger without even a name
Enclosed then forever behind a glass pane
In an old photograph torn, battered, and stained
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame?
[Chorus]
Did they beat the drums slowly?
Did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the Last Post in chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
[Verse 3]
The sun now shines o'er the green fields of France
There's a warm summer breeze that makes the red poppies dance
And look how the sun shines from under the clouds
There's no gas, no barbed wire, there's no gun firing now
But here in this graveyard it's still No Man's Land
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
To a whole generation that were butchered and damned
[Chorus]
Did they beat the drums slowly?
Did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the Last Post in chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
[Verse 4]
Now young Willy McBride, I can't help but wonder, why?
Do those that lie here know why they died?
And did they believe when they answered the call?
Did they really believe that this war would end wars?
For the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain
The killing and dying were all done in vain
For young Willy McBride it all happened again
And again, and again, and again, and again
[Chorus]
Did they beat the drums slowly?
Did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the Last Post in chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
[Chorus]
Did they beat the drums slowly?
Did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the Last Post in chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
The High Kings - The Parting Glass
[Verse 1]
Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
[Chorus]
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
[Verse 2]
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
[Chorus]
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
(La, la, lala lala
La la, la la, lala la la
La, la, lala lala
La la, la la, lala la la)
[Chorus]
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
[Chorus]
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Good night and joy be to you all
The Horslips - Dearg Doom
My love is colder than black marble by the sea
My heart is older than the cold oak tree
I am the flash of silver in the sun
When you see me coming you had better
Run . . . run . . . run
From Dearg Doom
You speak in whispers of the devils I have slain
By the fire of my silver Devil's Blade
And still you dare to flaunt yourself at me
I don't want you, I don't need you
I don't love you, can't you see
I'm Dearg Doom
And when the stars go out
You can hear me shout
"Two heads are better than none
One hundred heads are so much better than one"
I'm a boy who was born blind to pain
And, like a hawk, I'll swoop and swoop again
I am the flash of Hawkeye in the sun
When you see me coming you had
Better run . . . run . . . run
From Dearg Doom
The Pogues - Dirty Old town
[Verse 1]
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
[Verse 2]
Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old town, dirty old town
[Verse 3]
I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town, dirty old town
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna make me a big sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town
[Verse 1]
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
The Pogues - Fairytale of New York
[Verse 1: Shane MacGowan]
It was Christmas Eve, babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
"Won't see another one"
And then he sang a song
"The Rare Old Mountain Dew"
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen-to-one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you, baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
[Verse 2: Kirsty MacColl, Shane MacGowan, Both]
They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you, it's no place for the old
When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome, you were pretty, queen of New York City
When the band finished playing, they howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks, they were singing
We kissed on a corner, then danced through the night
[Chorus: Shane MacGowan & Kirsty MacColl]
The boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day
[Verse 3: Kirsty MacColl & Shane MacGowan]
You're a bum, you're a punk, you're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap, lousy faggot
Happy Christmas, your arse, I pray God it's our last
[Chorus: Shane MacGowan & Kirsty MacColl]
The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day
[Verse 4: Shane MacGowan & Kirsty MacColl]
"I could have been someone", well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me when I first found you
I kept them with me, babe, I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you
[Chorus: Shane MacGowan & Kirsty MacColl]
The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day
[Instrumental Outro]
The Saw Doctors - N17
[Verse 1]
Well, I didn't see much future
When I left the Christian Brothers school
So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile
And I left the girls of Tuam
And sometimes when I'm reminiscing
I see the prefabs and my old friends
And I know that they'll be changed or gone
By the time I get home again
[Chorus]
And I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes, I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
[Verse 2]
Well, the ould fella left me to Shannon
Was the last time I travelled that road
And as we turned left at Claregalway
I could feel a lump in my throat
As I pictured the thousands of times
That I travelled that well worn track
And I know that things would be different
If I ever decide to go back
[Chorus]
And I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes, I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
[Verse 3]
Now as I tumble down highways
Or filthy overcrowded trains
There's no one to talk to in transit
So I sit there and daydream in vain
And behind all these muddled up problems
Of living on a foreign soil
I can still see the twists and turns in the road
From the square to the town of the tribes
[Chorus]
And I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes, I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Just travelling with my thoughts and dreams
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Stone walls and the grasses green
Stone walls and the grasses green
Stone walls and the grasses green
Stone walls and the grasses green, yeah
The Stunning - Brewing Up a Storm
Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back in Town
[Verse 1]
Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
But, man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy
[Chorus]
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
(I said) The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
[Verse 2]
You know that chick that used to dance a lot?
Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she'd got
Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot
I mean, she was steamin'
And that time over at Johnny's place
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her
[Chorus]
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
(I said) The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
[Bridge]
Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town?
You spread the word around
[Verse 3]
Friday night, they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar and Grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favourite song
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
[Chorus]
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back, the boys are back
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
The boys are back in town again
Been hangin' down at Dino's
The boys are back in town again
Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in the Jar
[Verse 1]
As I was goin' over
The Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell
And his money, he was countin'
[Verse 2]
I first produced my pistol
And then produced my rapier
I said, "Stand o'er and deliver
Or the Devil, he may take ya"
[Chorus]
Musha-ring, dumb-a-do, dumb-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
[Verse 3]
I took all of his money
And it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money
And I brought it home to Molly
[Verse 4]
She swore that she'd love me
Never would she leave me
But the Devil take that woman
For you know she tricked me easy
[Chorus]
Musha-ring, dumb-a-do, dumb-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
Bein' drunk and weary
I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my money with me
And I never knew the danger
[Verse 6]
For about six or maybe seven
In walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols
And I shot him with both barrels
[Chorus]
Musha-ring, dumb-a-do, dumb-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
[Verse 7]
Now some men like the fishin'
And some men like the fowlin'
And some men like to hear
A cannon ball a-roarin'
[Verse 8]
But me, I like sleepin'
Especially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison
Here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
[Chorus]
Musha-ring, dumb-a-do, dumb-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
[Outro]
And I got drunk on whiskey-o
And I loved, I loved, I loved
I loved, I loved, I loved my Molly-o
And she wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through that dirty town
That dirty ol' town
Van Morrison - Bright Side of the Road -

From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
We'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road

Little darlin', come with me
Won't you help me share my load?

In the twinkling of an eye

Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
[Verse 1]
Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughin' and a-runnin', hey, hey
Skippin' and a jumpin'
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a thumpin'
[Refrain]
And you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
[Verse 2]
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and sliding
All along the waterfall
[Refrain]
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
[Chorus]
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-tee-da?
Just like that
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-tee-da
La-tee-da
[Verse 3]
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinking about
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium
[Refrain]
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
[Outro]
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-tee-da? (Lyin' on the green grass)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-tee-da (Bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit)
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-tee-da-la-tee-da-la-tee-da)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-tee-da (Da da da da da da da da da da da)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-tee-da
Van Morrison - Moondance
[Verse 1]
Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heartstrings that play soft and low
[Pre-Chorus]
You know the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
You know the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
[Chorus]
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
[Verse 2]
Well, I want to make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms, you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then, all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then, I will make you my own
[Pre-Chorus]
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
Then I know how much you want me that you can't hide
[Chorus]
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heartstrings that play soft and low
[Pre-Chorus]
You know the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
You know the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
[Chorus]
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
[Outro]
One more moondance with you
In the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la, la
In the moonlight
On a magic night
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Whipping Boy - We Don't Need Nobody Else
[Verse 1]
In the morning I am a recluse, lost in memories
Ideal situations and convulsions
I'm never in and I can't remember
They built portholes for Bono, so he could gaze
Out across the bay and sing about mountains maybe
You are what you own in this land
You can be King and it all depends on the view
And what you can see
And around here, nobody tells me what to do anymore
[Chorus]
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
[Verse 2]
Why say words that I do not mean
They only serve to amuse, ridicule and destroy
But hardly ever to teach?
I hit you for the first time today
I didn't mean it, it just happened
You wouldn't let me go to the phone
You wanted to make love and I did not
Now I know the distance between us
Christ, we weren't even fighting, I was just annoyed
Silence and you started to cry, "That really hurt," you said
Yeah, and you thought you knew me
[Chorus]
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
Just you and me
Just you and me
[Verse 3]
Consider this as the wine takes hold
And sinks into your veins
I try to force it but it's not there
Love gives you comfort
And comfort makes you dim
She's in the kitchen, putting beads in her hair
It all came out tonight
The queen of drugs broke down and cried
'Cause she'd been shagging her best friend's guy
She knew the form, she knew the lie
She wasn't shy and she refused to try
That's why I'm gazing out of portholes
And I'm wondering why
[Chorus]
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
Just you and me
Just you and me
