Do not ask me how I’ve been doing,
I wouldn’t even know where to begin with,
It was many moons ago that the shit hit the fan,
Then the domino effect had the upper hand
A good old fashionned redundancy,
Quite a money shortage and gone was the wifey
By the time you figure out you’ve hit rock bottom,
Around the corner comes another problem ‘cause
Nothing is going my way / Misfortune seems here to stay
Nothing is going my way / A penny or two might save the
day
Nothing goes my way / Nothing goes my way
The cobblestoned pavement is where I stray
Nothing goes my way / Nothing goes my way
It’s been going that way for the past decade
Ev’ry step I take leads to a mistake,
Ev’ry option I choose sees me more confused,
The future I’m sure still has plenty in store,
The only question is : ‘is there room for more’
Call it karma, a spell or just bad timing,
Whatever it’s called let me tell you one thing
If this trend carries on like it’s been doing,
It will put the last nail onto my coffin ‘cause

Gin is my sin
and it’s always been
Gin is my sin
Poor me some more that’s what I’m thinking
I’ll drink one for breakfest, I’ll drink one for you
When we visit the in laws, I’ll surely need two
Fits ev’ry occasion, and all of your moods
This special elixir, each day, helps me through
Pink Gins in the evening they take off the edge
Before I can meet you, a screwdriver’s best
Gotta give my surroundings a new perspective
Did you know that my Gin makes you more
attractive? Yeah!
I hang out at Gordon’s, and Hendrick’s there too
We’ve been getting along, since you played the fool
My tastes have improved, don’t ask me to choose
My friends pick me up and with them I can’t lose
I’d pray for redemption, but I’m bound for hell
God’s closed heaven’s Gin bar and rang the last bell
I am who I am and, I won’t fight my fate
It seems I’m to guzzle, all the Gin that’s been made
I love it, I love it, I love it to death
I want it, I want it, ‘til I draw my last breath
Gin most likely will , be the end of me
But at least it’s a reason for lemon to be
Gin is my sin
and it’s always been
Gin is my sin
Poor me some more that’s what I’m thinking
Poor me some more time to start drinking
Poor me some more Gin’s what I’m drinking yeah!

In the streets of Northbridge, ev’ry soul’s a runaway
From a broken past where, felony did not pay
In the streets of Northbridge, the sun’s rising on a new day
Cutting off the drag of, former balls and chains
In the streets of Northbridge, people tell that common tale
‘bout the revenge they took, on a marvellous escape
To the streets of Northbridge, under a different name
And took up their future, a few thousands miles away
In the streets of Northbridge / Whatever you did
The rocks are made of gold
In the streets of Northbridge / Whatever you did
In the streets of Northbridge / Whatever you did
At last you got a home
In the streets of Northbridge / Whatever you did
In the streets of Northbridge, opportunities prevail
It is worth having dreams, upon landing in this place
In the streets of Northbridge, one can turn the page
Do or make whatever, get a fresh start on the way

One man parked in a camp, among a thousands more
Far from his mother land, crushed by years of war
He’s witnessed the horror, in the duty of battle
Fighting for a system, killing folks like cattle
So one fine summer day, he fired his last shot
Dropped the pistol at hand, willing to reach Europe
Through mountains and borders, a life changing journey
Haunted by the nightmares, of human’s savag’ry
Well in those times, there is no room for failure
It’s do or die, and no way to surrender
March on, March on,
Troubled young man march on
Of course his promised one, he had to leave her behind
Shattered wedding dreams, without a last goodbye
The man’s standing tall back, from the frontline’s fury
With a twinckle in the eye, he tells you ‘c’est la vie’
Well in those times, there is no room for grieving
It’s do or die, gambling on all-or-nothing

Ode To Sailor Jerry

My dear Sailor Jerry
Let’s again sail away
To this state of grace of which you hold the key
Oh please my dear Sailor Jerry
Against the storms and the foggy morns
We have stood side by side
It is so pleasant through out rough moments
To count on a loyal old pal
From Barbados to the Belfast docks
‘gardless where I wind up
We have always been as thick as thieves
And more when my dander got up
The one team mate that’s got what it takes
To make me feel alive
Whether hell breaks loose or during curfews
Together at all times we thrive

Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day, they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

Liffey Song

When missus O’Riley from county Wicklow
To keep her groom away from hitting the bottle
Took his barrels of grog in the river to throw
So the grog n Mister O’Riley had to go with the flow
As the barrels hit the shore of the Dublin Bay
Not for very long in the water they stayed
The dried out dockers wouldn’t let ‘em cast away
But drunk’em ‘til they all passed out for the rest of the day
What falls into the stream of the river Liffey
Will end up in the harbour of Dublin City
As soon as came the day when Mister O’Riley
Was in the early morn just going cold turkey
Exceeded by the mishap he carried his lady
From the bridge into the river he dumped missus O’Riley
As the colleen hit the shore of the Dublin Bay
Not for very long in the water she stayed
The single dockers wouldn’t let her cast away
But made her advances n she never said nay

There’s nothing like as when game is on
And all those hearts are beating as one
There’s nothing like a cheering grandstand
Singing anthems as loud as it can
There’s nothing like the thrill of a goal
As opponents are taking a blow
Bodies and souls really come alive
This our kick and this our drive
We will always give it all
For victory
When it comes down to football
For the goal
We will always give it all
Give it all give it all
When it comes down to football
There’s nothing like our good old boys
Dressed up alike from the head to the toes
With ambition set in solid stone
No matter how the score will unfold
There’s nothing like the game of football
To truly blow passions off the wall
Bodies and souls really come alive
This our kick and this our drive
One team, one pride, one blazon, to stand by
One flag, to wave, our colors and our name

Treasure of Gold
04:49

|

I’ve traveled the world / from Cape Town to India
Been down to the Falklands / then up to Alaska
But when our ways crossed / suddenly I’d found
The treasure of gold this journey was about
Like a pioneer I left / with none in my pocket
But the will to get rich / Somewhere on this planet
How was I to know / much more’s coming ‘round
A treasure of gold I’d end up digging out
My one and only rose
You’re my one and only rose
Each day is complete merely just because
You’re my one and only rose
Well I had my share of girls / and a few women too
Without a single one / loving me like you do
Womanizers like me / can cry it out loud
A treasure of gold you dam are with no doubt
The ones of a kind / is some money can’t buy
Regarding that matter / the blue ribbon is mine
You’re just more than I / could ever dream about
A treasure of gold I cherish day in day out
