you take your chances, you play the game. walk like a man and you talk the same. i met a girl, she mentioned your name. keep on smiling, she's still your friend.
We went out to a weekend festival on Clare Island in August 1990. and on the boat back on a perfect autumn evening the green and red of mayo was conceived with well known Galway free-spirited minstrel jarir al-majar. It became a song about a year later.
Oh I watched the news at six o'clock. It made me want to cry. The oceans are polluted, we've damaged all the sky. And there's wars and wars and rumors.
Hardly anyone had the tele'. It was a different kind of world. Heaven was a game of football. Before I ever kissed the girls. We used to go out driving.
When a man walks out of his house one day. Looks up to a big blue sky. Thinks about his past. And looks to the future. And then the answer sparkles in his eye.
Last night I dreamt you called from Costa Rica. The place you've been for the last two weeks. You said, I miss you, oh sweet boy. And will you come on down?.
When I signed on. I was sixteen. Had to lie about my age. Had me hair cut short already. At the time 'twas all the rage. I heard so many stories. About the crack in Mullingar.
You were sitting in a cafe. at a table by the juke-box. Making cups of coffee last for years. You never heard the fanfare. never saw the sunshine rising.
Where are you and where am I?. We've been slipping slowly south. To the starry sky tonight. I guess my tongue is tied. . I feel the earth quaking beneath me.
You were sitting in a cafe. At a table by the juke-box. Making cups of coffee last for years. You never heard the fanfare. Never saw the sunshine smiling.
Why is it everything's all loneliness with me? I guess sometimes I try. to hard, and sometimes you cause it, but it always carries on and on. "What. did you ever become?" you asked. I said, "I was told to be smiles and bright.
Everyday she's on the boat. When it pulls out from the quay. Far from small town eyes she floats. Across the Irish Sea. She's the girl you know from down the road.
A month ago. there we were surrendering ourselves. to the local police. paying them not to tell. while we waited we all...... . Sang a song of sorrow.
Now as I lay by your side would you tell me why everything has to be lies. Leaving everyone wondering when we'll all wind up dead to all we are within.
does'nt matter what you say or do. i'll understand you anyway. 'cos i've known you so long. if you leave me in the morning light. i won't be sad but i won't feel right.
everybody says that i'm getting older. i can't stop aging, it's on my shoulders. to get sober every time i see the state i'm in. so what's so strange, i'm only human.
And I'm gonna get to. The bottom of this. Gonna peel back my skin. And look at myself shaking and shivering. . And I'll get the rope, from in the house.
whispers keep on pushing me. tell me i've gone wrong. tellin' me be careful, one slip and you're gone. it's getting late, getting dark now. it's time i headed back.
I want to crawl into the ground and not come out. For 37 years, when my life runs out. A demon in my mouth that spits words out. Let everybody hate me, make me kill myself.
hey! d'ya wanna come back the house with me?. i'll make you a cppa tea. no there's no-one there it's all right. there all gone off tonight. to a social in castlebar.
