Inbetween Dreams
Broke, broken and cold
Waiting at the bus stop's getting old
Christmas lights have increased ten fold
While I'm banking on Thursdays dole
There's an early morning woman drinking vodka neat
There's a man stood preaching on Patrick's Street
and all I can say is I'm somewhere in between, in between dreams.
Through the swings and roundabouts
between the bank and the playground
Is where I should be lost and found
Making all these funny sounds
There's a game of chess along with every scene
There are moves to prove the difference between pawn and queen
and all I can say is I'm somewhere in between, in between dreams.
Oh wont you come and talk to me my love?
You know who you are and these days Im above
Playing the fool, we both act too cool.
There's an early morning woman drinking vodka neat
There's a man stood preaching on Patricks Street
and all I can say is I'm somewhere in between,
In between dreams.

Remember My Name
I know it's been a long time gone
As I'm making daisy chains in the sun
I think back to all the pain you caused
And I'm still wondering what I did wrong
But now I've got the strength to know
Now I've got the strength to say
I'm not the nothing girl within your games
You will remember my name.
Bet you didn't think that you'd see the day
Or realise that I'd so much to say
Underestimated from the start
The powerful words of my heart
And its O.K. To dwell on such things
As I'm moving on and up and either which way
But oh it hurts and yes it stings
So you'll remember my name
As I remember your name
Oh this is ridiculous. This was years ago
Cant get you off no matter how hard I wash
So I'll make sure
You will remember my name.
As I remember your name. As I remember the pain
As I remember the shame. As I remember your face
As I remember your grace
Oh this is ridiculous. This was years ago
Cant get you off no matter how hard I wash
So I'll make sure
You will remember my name.

From My Window
From my window I can see the most amazing things
Hotels and boats along the quay
with brightly coloured bunting
From my window there are trains and cranes
and far off mountains
Petrol in puddles, down the lanes
the sun hits off the houses
Sometimes I give in to the truth
But, oh, it makes me feel so blue
I don't know what to do
When I'm thinking of you
From my window a garden washing line,
a long peg rainbow
Sitting small upon the sill I find Ive got no one to show
From my window now I wonder can you see me crying
The day is always harder
when little bits of me are dying.
Sometimes I give in to the truth
But, oh, it makes me feel so blue
I don't know what to do
When I'm thinking of you
And there's nothing I can do
Oh, I wish you were untrue
Please some one tell me what to do
I shouldn't be thinking of you

Brother
October brings the signs of autumn time
The turning trees who must concede
stand and cry away their leaves
Chimneys fill the air,
he just cant bare to smell the smoke
The do's and donts along with memories,
masks and ghosts
Shaking spinning spiders from his addled mind
He could break a world of hearts
if they saw him from inside
And deep deep down he always knew,
love is the only thing that's true.
Long ago he broke, his life a joke, his childhood hell
The tears that welled and fell
just to leave an empty shell
Tried to understand the twisted mind,
the dad who drank and drank and stank of stale piss and wine.
Time takes its toll on the young mans hopes,
the thicker the walls, the softer the soul
And deep deep down he always knew,
love is the only thing that's true
Once there was a love, fit like a glove,
the two were one, the deed was done
Their lives complete, the past be gone
But fate was to devastate the future wife, light of his life
As death returned and turned his days to nights
Now when he walks in the park through the trees
His hopes and his dreams as dead as the leaves
And deep deep down he always knew,
love is the only thing that's true

My Madness
A stranger stares from a mirror, what does she see?
A marble, moon faced husk of who I used to be
Empty, empty, empty face, brush my teeth and wash my face
Pull the door in with a click, zip my coat up to the neck as I begin to descend.
Summer Hill in springtime boasts steeples in its skyline and all across the city, painted ladies sitting pretty
Wish I was sipping silly and didn't give a shit like the days gone by.
Seagulls flock and fly against a pink and purple twilight, my boots are wearing thin, must be the walking that Ive done
I don't know where I'm going but you know I'm going down to the depths of us all.
I touch my fingers to my lips. I pretend it could be your kiss.
Ive felt the force of your focus, don't think I haven't noticed
Or maybe its my madness, it could be my madness, maybe its my madness, maybe its just me.
I have for you a heavy chest, a heavy chest of thoughts
Cant be everything, time comes for any fruit to fall.
Are we ripe in dreams or do I rot beneath, beneath us all.
Am I so far gone? Am I ever coming back? Could you reach if you tried and stretched your fingertips?
Ive a lot on my mind and its murdering my time when all I think of is you.
And I know I'm no one special, Ive known that all along
They're playing sand castles, build you up to knock you down
Its just the way it goes, and when it comes around, don't act like you don't know.
I touch my fingers to my lips. I pretend it could be your kiss.
Ive felt the force of your focus, don't think I haven't noticed
Or maybe its my madness, it could be my madness, maybe its my madness,
maybe its just me.

RAINBOW
I cannot see the road in front of me, I'm blind I'm blind
Ive lost my way back to reality, I am blind
In a dark and lonely wood I crunch the twigs of reason
Beneath my soul and heel my needs,
apparently a silver stream of thought
The currant pulls and spins me round,
vertigo from the clouds
And I am lost knowing only one thing,
I really don't know anything
People come and people go with a story book of words
Ive seen high and Ive seen low, from elephants to birds
Will I one day catch the rainbow?
Pretend the wolves aren't right behind you,
cant hear them snarling in your ear
They'll soon get bored of trying to find you,
you were never quite as lost as here
And in the basket carried now are
books of filth and poetry
Well Emily D means more to me,
never saw her in the distance you
The world has turned a million times,
this nauseating velocity
People come and people go with a story book of words
Ive seen high and Ive seen low,
from elephants to birds
Will I one day catch the rainbow?

Waiting For Change

WAITING FOR CHANGE
Hello my friends, Ive gone round the bend
Just a little tired of what I call my 'life on the mend'
Is it really me? Is it really you?
Think the pills are wearing off and
everything's gone colour blue
But I remain positive of all there is to come
I speak from my heart and soul
and I don't think that's wrong
If you need me you can find me waiting in line,
waiting for change to come.
Hello my God, I'm so bored
Please please please send me something special
to keep me afloat
Is it just me who feels that life is not what it seems?
Is it only I who sails o a sea of broken dreams?
But I remain positive of all there is to come
I speak from my heart and soul
and I don't think that's wrong
If you need me you can find me waiting in line,
waiting for change to come.
A shift in the cosmos, an anything
I don't need money or mountains of things
Keep it simple, keep it real, keep it true
I like your eyes, your smile and Ive nothing,
nothing left to prove
Waiting for change to come,
twiddling my fingers and thumbs
Pick up and say hello

Only Want You

ONLY WANT YOU
Trees and fields roll by like a treadmill
Underneath the bus bound home through the green fields
Rest my elbow on the sill
Misty windows make like blurry eyes after waking
I write my name in the condensation
I write yours too then rub them out and watch the clouds
I only want you, life can be very cruel
I sang my songs last night about you
To all new people in an all new room
They clapped and cheered but I didn't care
Because you weren't there
So, this is what I do now, I travel all around to different towns
Telling everyone all about my tragedies
Oh I'm such a drama queen but what the hell
Some day it may pay the bills
I only want you, life can be very cruel
I made a promise to myself, said I'm not going to write anything else
This boy consumes my everything,
I don't know how to move away from him
I don't want to hurt anyone,
I don't know how to move on
I only want you, life can be very cruel

RELATE TO YOU
I'm trying to relate to you,
and the plays you make me sit through
It's messing with my head,
I'm sick of all the games
You can be as cold as a moonbeam
or warmer than the sun
You could be the one
I'm trying to relate to you,
every single tiny molecule
Every thought behind the eyes,
every aspect of your inner child
It could be one great big disaster,
but it could be so much fun
You could be the one
I'm pining for you, I'm pining for you,
Like some old fashioned love fool
I'm aware of the odds and what it might cost
I'm ready to write some almighty love songs
I''m trying to relate to you
And the walls that I can see through.
I think we should kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss,
its the missing puzzle piece
You can be as cold as a moonbeam
or warmer than the sun
It could be one great big disaster,
but it could be so much fun
You could be the one

Could've Been Nicer

COULD'VE BEEN NICER
You could've been nicer to me
and then I wouldn't have had to go this far
You could've been nicer to me
all I needed was a mindful heart
Now look what Ive done,
and all because you left me with no choice
Look what Ive done,
and all because you left me with no voice
to atone myself
You could've been nicer to me
I know Ive broken my share of rules
You could've been nicer to me
I was just a young dumb troubled fool
We could have been enjoying each others company
I'd be teaching young children and giving you
the time to find a job you liked
You could've been nicer to me, nicer to me
I look out over the ocean,
the wind blows hair across my face
Dry grass rustles in a salty breeze,
fizzy foam and choppy waves
And I know, I know, I know its too late for us now
You could've been nicer to me
and then I wouldn't have had to go this far
You could've been nicer to me
all I needed was a mindful heart
You could've been nicer to me, nicer to me
You could've been nicer to me, nicer

Tears in the Forest

TEARS IN THE FOREST
A whisper on the breeze told me
'You're going down to the woods
To revisit you're youth, play Robin Hood.
All you have to see is the world beneath the leaves
All the browns and greens draped on all those tree's
Moss covered stones and ivy crawling.'
Oooh, all my childhood memories are tears in the forest,
cries from the forest.
One foot forward in,
sinking slightly into the undergrowth
Hood up on coat, bitten by horseflies
All that I could see was a white crow in a haze of green
Stepping stones across a stream
Do you know what I mean?
Some ones waiting.
Some ones calling
Oooh, all my childhood memories are tears in the forest,
cries from the forest.
