Shamrock Diaries
In waves of people you can lose your feet
Youve got to stay hard, to the ground
It gets so easy now to lose your way
When youre ever outward bound
A church bell ringing in the fading light
Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
The ghost of yesteryears is toughing you
And as sure as God youll fall
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like it used to be
And all the reasons why it started out
Hit you hard with every bell
The choir practice in the empty hall
Is a sound that you know so well
Like something lost inside your overcoat
You find it later, by mistake
You lost it all a thousand years ago
And you pray its not too late
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like it used to be

Joys Of Christmas
I see all the tough guys still not 25
Dying on their feet
Coughing, honking, cadging cigarettes
And still out on the street
Well, they got no money, nowhere to go
Fathers of 2, 3 maybe 4, what are they gonna do
Jimmy got a busted mouth in a fight last night
He says hes ok
Going down to the workies club (thats a laugh)
To buy something strong and take the pain away
Joys of christmas
Joys of christmas
Northern style
Flashing christmas light of police blue
Go spinning down the street
Women try to drag the men from pubs
Into the stores
And work hands in empty pockets deep
We stand outside the neon ice and wish ourselves the best
He says hes ok, out of work and fighting

For Ever & Ever
Dont ask me how long baby its gonna take
I dont know honey, just give it a break
Love dont happen to you overnight
You got to feed it, leave it
Give it some light
Oh love, true love
When it looks like youre winning
Get it right on tee
And the stars shine so brightly
Just for you and me
For ever and ever babe
Is that what it takes?
For ever and ever babe
Is that when it stays for you and me?
With every ray of sunshine sugar
Theres little bit of rain
You got to take the bad times with the good times
cos no loves the same
Oh love, true love
When it looks like youre winning

That Girl Of Mine
Theres a time and place everywhere I go
Where the river meets the sea
Somewhere between the gates of dreams
And the turning of the key
Theres a cutting edge theres a real fine line
And its caught in come and go
And youre leaving what you thought you knew
To what youve come to know
When the twilight turns at the end of day
And the angels kiss the moon
Theres a diamond sun everywhere she goes
And there aint no other way
Im gonna dream tonight
By that pale moonlight
Till the morning comes my way
Im walking tall
And Im walking fine
And Im up there
With that girl of mine
And Im standing in the twilight now

Keep On Dancing
I got a friend who loves the music
He got a red hot groove
But he don't use it
I get so afraid, he's gonna lose it
If you gotta gift - man, don't abuse it
Keep on dancing
The experts say they really care
They don't have a clue what's out there
The teachers tell the children not to swear
And the drunken lawyes
Leaves the kid
To pop something in
To kill the fear... it's not fair
Keep on dancing
I'm a frightened Dad, worried sick
Hear what I say?
I could put something in here
You know what rhymes with it
The whole world seems to end
In c.k.e.d

She Closed Her Eyes
She closed her eyes
And let the walls of her prison fall away
The walls that ached with a timeless wait
They had become her walls of this modern tv life
She closed her eyes
And let them fall away
And in her dreams she is standing by an ocean
She is gazing out to sea
She can remember with just a fleeting glimpse
That she was once free
So long ago now, so long it was as if it had never been
Was it a holiday
She thinks it could have been, ah yes, italy
And he closes his eyes
And he is gone far away
Gone from all the confusion
Gone from all the pain
He can easily see what a pointless waste
His modern life has become
Chasing the gravy grain

As Long As I Have Your Love
(4.49)
Ten Thousand princes
I've seen them all
I've seen them come
And I've seen them fall
I've watched them win
I've watched them loose
Since you've been around
No-one gets to choose
Because when the game begins
And the time is now
When there is no more talking
Only here and now
There is only here and now
I ain't seen anything quite like you
Ain't been anyone quite like you
Then Thousand princes
All backs against the wall
Then Thousand loosers
When the winner comes to call

Two Roads
Aint it funny how you never can tell
It always seems to hit you when its going so well
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
Now its lawyers-at-midnight and the learning begins
Lets take a walk outside in the morning sun
Here aint working out no battles to be won
Oh darling take a look at you and me
We both love our freedom and well always be
Two roads
You can wait a lifetime for the hammer to fall
Some folks get lucky they dont see it at all
We were bound to drift away from the very first day one
Two different journeys and neither was wrong
Lets take a walk outside in the morning sun
Here aint working out no battles to be won
Oh darling take a look at you and me
We both love our freedom and well always be
Two roads
Two different lifetimes we just happened to meet
Traded some good times on the corner of the street

Driving Home For Christmas
Im driving home for christmas
Oh, I cant wait to see those faces
Im driving home for christmas, yea
Well Im moving down that line
And its been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for christmas
Its gonna take some time
But Ill get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon therell be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you cant hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
