‘Monster’
Now that I have counted all my reasons
Is there any room left there?
Is there any room left there for feelings
Like regret, remorse or even empathy?
I don’t have a response
And you don’t have a responsibility
Brains for breakfast
Hearts for tea
Red wine and liver whilst watching TV
Shudders run through me
The things that I’ve done
You thought you knew me
I guess you were wrong
I feel like a
I feel like a
I feel like a monster now
I feel like a
I feel like a
I feel like a monster
I am always counting up the exits
The stars realign so you adapt or you die a zealot
So now I’ve grown accustomed to the practice
Of the Irish goodbye
It’s a commonly employed tactic
Brains for breakfast
Hearts for tea
Red wine and liver whilst watching TV
Shudders run through me
The things that I’ve done
You thought you knew me
I guess you were wrong
I feel like a
I feel like a
I feel like a monster now
I feel like a
I feel like a
I feel like a monster
Don’t ask me no questions,
Don’t ask
Don’t ask me no questions, don’t
Don’t ask me no questions,
Don’t ask
Don’t ask me no questions, don’t….(repeat)
I feel like a
I feel like a
I feel like a monster now
I feel like a
I feel like a
I feel like a monster now
I feel like a
I feel like a
I feel like a monster now
I feel like a
I feel like a
I feel like a monster now

One for Sorrow

One for Sorrow
I hold my breath for hours
The air’s so delicate
I focus on the flowers
And tomorrow’s etiquette
This room holds the future
A future with a name
Bravery it suits you
And you’re putting me to shame
Pre- Chorus
There’s magpies in the garden
They look in when I look out
I’m a little superstitious
But I’m beginning to lose count
Chorus
I’d beg steal or borrow
For that boy
One for sorrow
And it’s one, two - one two three for joy
I’m not the happiest of campers
To ever walk this park
My thoughts are naturally inclined
To run a little dark
It’s something that I battle with
And I won’t allow to stand
So when joy like this comes calling
I will grab it with both hands
Pre- Chorus
There’s magpies in the garden
They look in when I look out
I’m a little superstitious
But I’m beginning to lose count
Chorus
I’d beg steal or borrow
For that boy
One for sorrow
And it’s one, two - one two three for joy
There are moments in your life
That hold such great store
The only way to measure them
Is the after and before
You may curse or you may thank
Angels in the rafters
But for me they have my grace
For you my ever after
Pre- Chorus
There’s magpies in the garden
They look in when I look out
I’m a little superstitious
But I’m beginning to lose count
Chorus
I’d beg steal or borrow
For that boy
One for sorrow
And it’s one, two - one two three for joy

QUEEN OF CHAOS
I feel like I'm drowning
Waves of my own making
Washing over me
Listen to the radio
Telling me things I should know
Before I fall asleep
Listen to the radio
Telling me things I should
Know before I sleep, know before I sleep
Chorus
Then I see you there
Your heart on your sleeve
Waitin for the
End of..
Western Civilisation
I see you there
Like Mona Lisa
Smiling like you
Know a secret
Something, that changes everything
Response is automatic
So melodramatic
I wish that wasn’t me
Looking at the tv show
Tell me things I should know
Before I fall asleep
Looking at the tv show
Tell me things I should
know before I sleep, know before I sleep
Chorus
Then I see you there
Your heart on your sleeve
Waitin for the
End of..
Western Civilisation
I see you there
Like Mona Lisa
Smiling like you
Know a secret
Something, that changes everything
You could laugh or you could cry - You choose the former
Your beauty and your sense of humour
Make such Magnificent armour,
Magnificent armour
And I'm on my knees
I curse my nature
Like Achilles
Or some tragic figure
From a
Shakespearian out take
You pick me up and
Hold me tightly
Whisper that it's
Ok baby
Let's just
Watch television
La la la la...

Harpoon
The forgotten Kings
All swag and swing
Have left the nightclubs now
Only their ghosts
Are left to boast
Of conquests to the crowd
Those Kings and Queens
Of weekend dreams
That turn to ash on Monday
Now amongst the dead
They lost their heads
In the quiet revolution of Sunday
Gut you like a harpoon
When it finally gets you……..baby
A Friday night, a monsoon
Of blood and booze and bad tunes
There’s no logic to the mess
This life we live it don’t make sense
We’re all mad here the rabbit says
We’re all mad here the rabbit says
The world we live it makes no sense
There’s no logic to this mess
We’re all mad here the rabbit says
We’re all mad here the rabbit says
Like giddy teens
So fresh and clean
A night so filled with promise
Has come to this
All puke and piss
And empty as the bottles
That fill the bins
In alleyways
Behind the clubs and bars
A man looks at me
So knowingly
From a taxi, there’s no cars
Gut you like a harpoon
When it finally gets you……..baby
A Friday night, a monsoon
Of blood and booze and bad tunes
There’s no logic to the mess
This life we live it don’t make sense
We’re all mad here the rabbit says
We’re all mad here the rabbit says
The world we live it makes no sense
There’s no logic to this mess
We’re all mad here the rabbit says
We’re all mad here the rabbit says
Do do do do do doo….
I got a fever
For the lever
I got a fever
For the litre
There’s gotta be more
Mmmmore than this
There’s gotta be more
Aghhhh
Gut you like a harpoon
When it finally gets you……..baby
A Friday night, a monsoon
Of blood and booze and bad tunes
There’s no logic to the mess
This life we live it don’t make sense
We’re all mad here the rabbit says
We’re all mad here the rabbit says
The world we live it makes no sense
There’s no logic to this mess
We’re all mad here the rabbit says
We’re all mad here the rabbit says

Off the Grid

Off The Grid
Staring out at breezes
Picking up the pieces
Just another bleeding heart
Looking for distraction
To stop this over-thinking
But I don’t know just where to start
Wake up in the morning
And just for a moment
You don’t have that sense of loss
Then all of a sudden
It hits you in the gut and…
Hands you back your albatross
Oh come on
Chorus
I’m going off, I’m going off
The beaten track, where there’s no pins in maps
I’m going off, I’m going off
The beaten track, where there’s no pins in maps
I’m going off, I’m going off
The grid, the grid
Trying hard to hold on
To my sense of humour
It’s better than a sense of dread
Trying not to listen
To rumblings and rumours
Most of them are in your head
Oh come on
Chorus
I’m going off, I’m going off
The beaten track, where there’s no pins in maps
I’m going off, I’m going off
The beaten track, where there’s no pins in maps
I’m going off, I’m going off
The grid, the gri
Amarosa Amarosa-a-a
Amarosa Amarosa-a-a
Amorosa, sin mi Amarosa
Amorosa, sin mi Amarosa
Amorosa, sin mi Amarosa
Amarosa, sin mi Amarosa

Some Folk
Oooohhh ahh
Oooohhh ahh ahh ahh
Some folk are all about
Looking in not looking out
Some folk are all about
Looking in not looking out
A self centred universe
Forget about Copernicus
A self centred universe
Forget about Copernicus
Oooohhh ahh
Oooohhh ahh ahh ahh
Some folk are all about
Looking in not looking out
Some folk are all about
Looking in not looking out
A self centred universe
Forget about Copernicus
A self centred universe
Forget about Copernicus
People are social animals
You realise when times get hard
Oooohhh ahh
Oooohhh ahh ahh ahh
Some folk are all about
Looking in not looking out
Some folk are all about
Looking in not looking out
A self centred universe
Forget about Copernicus
A self centred universe
Forget about Copernicus
People are social animals
You realise when times get hard
People are social animals
You realise when times get hard
Some folk are all about

Let The Credits Roll
Imprinted on my memory
Like a classic melody
Oh wo
Those looks lingered on my lips
My hands holding on to your hips
But now your smile don't reach your eyes
It can't come as a surprise
Oh Wo
That the air between us feels so tense
We make love but we don’t make sense
Am I meant to feel like it's alright
How am I meant to feel when you call tonight
Do I act like nothing's going on
Though we both know there's something wrong
We used to be in close contact
But now we’ve got to face the facts
You’re always glancing at the door
You don’t really come around no more
Am I meant to feel like it's alright
How am I meant to feel when you call tonight
Do I act like nothing's going on
Though we both know there's something wrong
Bridge
Every memory takes its toll
We just gotta let the credits roll
Coz this just isn’t working out
We need to call it, call it, call it
Am I meant to feel like it's alright
How am I meant to feel when you call tonight
Do I act like nothing's going on
Though we both know there's something wrong

Wait
Hanging on their every word
In the air, in the air, in the air
Like a predatorial bird
In the air, in the air, in the air
Ooohhh woo
I don't wanna lose it
Ooohhh woo
But I'm so confused
Chorus
Wait a minute now
Wait a minute now
Wait a minute now
Just just wait a minute now X2
There's something going on around here
In the air, in the air, in the air
You can taste the atmosphere
In the air, in the air, in the air
Ooohhh woo
I don't wanna lose it
Ooohhh woo
But I'm so confused
Chorus
Wait a minute now
Wait a minute now
Wait a minute now
Wait a minute now
Just wait a minute now
Wait a minute now
Wait a minute now
Just just wait a minute now
That paranoia boy
Will tear you up inside
Those insecurities
Will fill your head with lies
You gotta get a grip
On something good in your life
You gotta get a grip
But everything is ice
Oh wait a minute now….
Chorus
That paranoia boy
Will tear you up inside
Those insecurities
Will fill your head with lies
You gotta get a grip
On something good in your life
You gotta get a grip
But everything is ice
Oh wait a minute now….
Chorus

Somebody's Watching

Somebody’s Watching
Somebody’s watching,
Somebody’s watching you
Somebody’s listening in, in on you
They ask for permissions
But they won’t think twice
Of taking liberties - everything comes with a price
Somebody’s watching, they’re watchin you
You’re wearing a wire,
That you’ve chosen to ignore
You’ve welcomed the vampires
Right in through your front door
They sold us the signal,
We’re under surveillance
We are the victims
Yet we are their agents
CHORUS
Somebody’s watching,
Somebody’s watching you
Somebody’s listening in, in on you
They ask for permissions
But they won’t think twice
Of taking liberties - everything comes with a price
Somebody’s watching, they’re watchin you
Conspiracy Theories
They say we are paranoid
For a life of convenience
We offered up our girls and boys
The rich tapestry
The threads of a human life
Is reduced and devalued
Down to a megabyte
CHORUS
Somebody’s watching,
Somebody’s watching you
Somebody’s listening in, in on you
They ask for permissions
But they won’t think twice
Of taking liberties - everything comes with a price
Somebody’s watching, they’re watchin you
Why would you need to know where I am all the time?
