when I make my move to you
You will know
See I am that wave that breaks below
I will give you thrills and take your pain
I will lay you down
Like a shadow
Like a stain
You know the score
It ain’t limited to your knowing looks
and touches anymore
Cuz when you make his love
you turn alone
You see your heart’s been tethered
to a sinking stone
you know the score
It ain’t limited to your knowing looks and touches anymore
You know the Score
It ain’t limited to your knowing looks and touches anymore
When I make my move to you
You will know

All my words
They fail me now
And I have seen it all
and I have no doubt
That an alonely thing
You surely are
Could be a fixture made
In a face down bar
Where they go out their way
To be hurtful now
And you can see the world
Written in their brow
And I can see them all
They laugh in spite
They have no right
Last time every time forever
Yesterday I met you
And the feelings gone
You can baby me
But you won’t baby long
Yesterday can keep ye
Where the feeling’s strong
You can take from me
But you won’t be taking long
(Give him loving I do
I do I do
Give him loving I do
Yeah)
Fed the birds
On a lap round town
Got a peculiar thought
nearly struck me down
Am I the wingless one
that keeps me here?
Is to articulate a wish
My one great gear
Without a chance I’m king
Of every single thing
And it’s the cheapest spend
To make a dead heart sing
And I keep them all
And laugh in spite
I have the right
Last time, every time, forever

Kindness is a trick to turn you strange
Til you’re twisted and you’re shining like a varicose vein
Anger makes you weak and turns you sick
And gets you in the six feet nice and quick
No fair
They can talk to me
I can live alone
I can live alone
Happy
Where I like to be
I can live alone alone alone alone
I fought
For the right to be
I can live alone
I can live alone
The fairies get their fingers and they spin your wheel
And they make you look at sunshine that your skin will never feel
Baby do you miss the days before
Hope knocked on your door?
But you
went and fell in love
And into you love fell
And it made you feel unwell
Oh well
There’s a thing about people that I suppose is alright
It’s when they smile right at their pain through all the day and night
The fool dies at the altar in a smile
Says “I’m moving to America
You won’t see me for a while”
If I get the ferry over will the fairies follow me?
Will they throw me to the sea?
We’ll see
No fair
They can follow me
I can live alone
I can live alone
Happy
Where I like to be
I can live alone alone alone alone
I fought
For the right to be
I can live alone
I can live alone
When the devil takes your soul
he does not care
If you’re shot down like a dog
or expired on the stairs
The boat is drifting in, the weight is cast,
How can life go so slowly,
and death come so fast?
Across the River Styx I’ll row along
But I’ve got one more song
More song
More song
More song

On a Sunday gone
In the harbour place
The big boss man’s eye
Fell on the pretty girl’s face
She was closing things
Oh what a death he died
He drank away his sense
He never said goodbye
You could talk about love
You could talk about the light
You could talk about the only time
You ever did things right
You could talk about the moon
Hanging in the sky
You could talk about the finer things
You could talk about the minor things
It’s a poor man’s game
This serious life
No pursuit could make me
The man for my wife
Says the man’s hot streak
To a sober face
No reflections please
When I’m the king of this place
I will take my first fist
And I will bring it down
And I will take that smiling
Right outta this town
You could talk about love
You could talk about the light
You could talk about the only time
You ever did things right
You could talk about the moon
Hanging in the sky
You could talk about the finer things
You could talk about the minor things
He was cautioned to the wind
Oh man…you’re a fable now

You think I’m about ye
Well I’m not
The centre of my world
Is a hotspot
You think that you know me
you’re below me
And you don’t
All of the people
They can fly
Straight to the white hotel
Up In the sky
I’m hard as my money
Yeah, you’re soft as a lie
Well a smile could be made so endless
Just happy, free and friendless
No paper lending
Just time, spending
Yeah
You think that you love me
But you don’t
You think that you know me
Yeah well you just don’t
Did you know I’m into your brother?
Did you know that I hated your show?
Tell me who exactly do you think you know?
People are scum
I will say it again
Don’t let anyone tell you that
They wanna be your friend
They just wanna get close enough to
Take the final shot
They will celebrate the things that make you who you’re not
They will criticise
All of the people
Well a smile could be made so endless
Just happy, free and friendless
No paper lending
Just time spending
She’s standing in line now
At the funfair
Fistful of tokens
And charm to spare
What kind of fool would follow signs that were never there?
All of the people
All of the people

I was a kid I was unsure and I would hesitate
And so I early learned to spite
And from the anger all my words I could not separate
But she could always put me right
It’s always got to be the baseline
Every time you look around
And if you have to go that’s alright
That’s the way it’s got to be
An east coast bed.
She worked with people from the travelling community
They introduced her to belief
So she was best equipped, ironically it must be said
To make sense of all this grief
You’re always gonna be the baseline
Every time I look around
And if you have to go that’s alright
That’s the way it’s got to be
An east coast bed.

When February came it came straight for New York
Any colder - they said- and we’ll be skating to work
Salt throwers were taming the sidewalks with haste
Til the whole of the city was
seasoned to taste
The world was a yawn fingerprinted by night
Pro couples out running the leaves into kites
And out jumped the soul from his too-little chest
Was kited away along with the rest
Live by design, til you resign
If anyone asks, I love my city…
Oh where will ya take me for dinner and sex?
The romance of somewhere where trains go direct?
I live pretty close to a view of the stars
But it’s not in my nature to look through the bars
My friend
You’re major
You’re king of the world
You might as well feel it
You might as well take all the
Chips that you can
They’re the chips that you earned
And they’re ain’t no forever
Where living’s concerned
When I’m at the door of whatever it is
If it’s nothing romantic or nothing to miss
I’ll hope that I lived like those salt thrower heads
Drove over the treasury and helping the next
Live by design, til you resign
If anyone asks, I love my city…
Old was a man who attended his patch
Offending next door with the lock on the latch
He felt too deeply, too often, too long
And now he’ll feel nothing forever

Way down
Nothing is the same
Love is all around us there’s no one to name
I know both sides of the cane
She is all things to me
The hopeful and the sane
Seeking only answers
Seeking only answers
Hearing only lies
Way down
jealous of your pain
Loan me all your troubles
Lend me all your shame
So fair
Fairytaling
When the reaper’s done his looking I would like you to be there hug
Seeking only answers
Seeking only answers
Hearing only lies
Hearing only lies
Hearing only lies
Hearing only lies
Way down
Nothing is the same
Love is all around us and there’s no one to name
I know
Both sides of the cane
When the reaper’s done his looking I would like you to be there

Season For Pain

If you have nowhere to go
Get used to the rain
This is no season for loving
This is the season for pain
No hand to strike you down
No smile to fade
The show was good while it ran my friend
Til it was running away
There was a season for loving
This is the season for pain
Ring it up there’s no amends
Talked it through ye to such bitter ends
All I get is “what do you know”
It’s a shame
Your words are powerless here
Where cold truth reigns
I’m not your friend in all your stupid fights
I will be looking any other way
My heart was for ya
My hand made to assure ya
Now watch it wave
This is no season for loving
This is no season for loving
This is no season for loving no no
This is the season for pain
If you have nowhere to go
Get used to the rain
I doubt you find what you’re looking for
I doubt the feeling remains
This is no season for loving
This is the season for pain
