COOLHOUSE

Way down in the Coolhouse
Warm night on the town
Sat sippin’ a long neck
Red skin turnin’ brown
Saw you in the shadows
Soft glow on your skin
Warm night in the Coolhouse
So good to hold you again

Coolhouse is a Redhouse
Hey Joe, Little Wing
Small town is a dead end
Small town closin’ in
Rough times we are made of
Two minds turnin’ in
Way down at the Coolhouse
So good to hold you again

Way down in the Coolhouse all over again
Way down in the Coolhouse and you’re taking me in

Way down in the Coolhouse
Warm night on the town
Sat sippin’ a long neck
Now you’re taking me down.

Warm night in the coolhouse all over again
Warm night in the coolhouse you’re taking me in


AND WHEN I WALK

And when I walk into the street
I hear you talk, I see you breathe
You say you’ve nothing there for me
If you’ve got nothing, look at me

Look at my hands, look at my teeth
Look at the way I dig your beat
Don’t tell me I’m wiped out for good
Don’t let me be discarded wood

La la la la

You say that you’ve had just enough
Enough, enough, enough, enough
I promise no more funny stuff

You’ve got your life, you’ve got your pride
I might have told too many lies
But I can see through your disguise
can’t bring yourself to say goodbye

La la la la


HEUSTON STATION

Heuston Station
4.30 pm
Waitin’ here
For my train to come in
Thinkin’ back
How things could have been
But now it’s Heuston Station
4,30 pm

Heuston Station
4.40 pm
On board
Don’t know where I’m goin’
Looking forward to a new beginning
Heuston Station
4.40 pm

Always movin’ to another town
I love a new start
I love a new start
Stayin’ around only gets me down
Never look back
Never look back

Heuston Station
4.50 pm
I like the feeling
Of a moving train
Taking me to
A new start, a new home
I’m not searchin’
I’m just wandering on


MY LOVE AND ME

My love and me
Walk through the fields
Just leave us alone
Just let us be
All we need is a clear blue sky
My love and me

My love and me
In the evening breeze
Just hide us away
Just give us some peace
Under a bright bully moon
My love and me

My love and me find a path to please the mind
My love and me leave the big bad world behind

When we come back
My love and me
We’re so relaxed
Just let us be
Under a clear blue sky
My love and me
Under a bright bully moon
My love and me
On a night at the end of June
My love and me


IN GOD WE TRUST

They whisper of scandal
They beat on their breasts
They walk in their bare feet
Up mountains to test
Not human endurance
But spiritual wealth
And they say it’s in GOD we trust

They tell of the scholars
That sailed overseas
And told half the world
To get down on it’s knees
To pray for salvation
Escape from damnation
And they say it’s in GOD we trust

Their back yard is muddy
Their fireplace is black
They wrap up their sins
In a white refuse sack
And disown their children
For an unholy act
And they say it’s in GOD we trust

In GOD we trust

They tell of the scholars
That sailed overseas


WATCH OUT LOVE

Watch out love
I think I’m feeling better
You hit me so hard
I hit the ground
Felt the pain
I was alone again
Empty heart
Empty soul

Ooh Ooh
Watch out love
Ooh Ooh
Watch out love

Run run run
I tried to hide
Pretending
These are happy days
No use, no use
Just turn around
Take some time
Unwind, unwind

Watch out love
I know I’m feeling better
You thought I was gone
I’m back today
I love love
I’m not going away
I love love
And I’m here to stay


SOMETIMES

Look out my window, I see a storm passing by
Everything lies in it’s wake, desolation is high
Rumours abound that two people have drowned
They say they fell in to a hole in the ground

Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I ask myself why

Can’t pull the brakes, can’t stop this life rolling by
I.ve met all the fakes, all the money they make,
Saw the spirits they break while they fly
They come from a school where they bend all the rules
They’re clever, they’re quick, They’re nobody’s fool

Stare at the mirror, look at what’s left in my eyes
Think of the times when I could have done better than lies
\It’s never too late to make up for mistakes
Just make a date with my Angel of Fate


IF I COULD SAIL THAT OCEAN AGAIN

Soft summer days recall the time
I saw your face you stop to smile
You came along I close my eyes
To hear your voice to feel your style

Look out the window in the rain
Drum your fingers on the ledge
I couldn’t take the waiting game
You needed time I never had

If I could sail that ocean again
I’d fight the storm, I’d face down the wind
And then I’d see the tide turnin’in
Turnin’ in

la la la la la

I never lost you in my mind
I never lost the will to try
Sometimes I may relive the time
Every second passes by


TEACH ME TO FLY

Oh Oh Teach me to fly
Don’t wait around ‘til I lay down and die
Take me tomorrow and light up the sky
Be my Angel for Life
Be my Angel for life

Dance me around in the soft whitened light
Make me feel everything flows right on by
Teach me the songs I’m feeling inside
Make me feel nothing can break up tonight

Look at the shadows behind every tree
Look at the way you’re looking at me
Look at the sun and feel every breeze
Glidin’, not hiding,
Just feeling at ease

 

 


LIVE BEFORE YOU DIE

When I look at you
I can see right through your smile
When I think of you
Makes me often wonder why
I could lie awake
Hangin’ on your every sigh

You have you live before you die

When I think of things
Some things money just can’t buy
Yeah you clipped my wings
But I’m not afraid to fly
Yet I stay awake
Hangin on your every sigh

You have to live before you die

Take a risk, a chance
Leave your moral stance behind
Have a second dance
Hear me laugh, see me cry
This is just a glance
At what might be left behind

You have to live before you die


REVOLUTION ON THEIR MIND

If you hit me and I fall
And you kick me when I crawl
Then you know you’re killing me
If you lock me in a cage
And you leave me till I age
Then you know you’re killing me

But take a look and you will find
There’s someone coming up behind
Revolution’s the solution
On their Mind

If you stop me going in
‘Cos my hair is cut too thin
Then you know you’re hurting me
If you squeeze me when I breathe
And you take the things I need
Then you know you’re hurting me

If you take away my land,
Make me live inside a pen
What do you expect from me
If you pollute the air I breathe
Put a land mine in my field
Do you want respect from me.


SEE YOU AGAIN

The sun is hot
The sea is glass
I’m walking in the sand
Water running through my toes
I left you in your sleep
For one last walk along the beach
Tomorrow It will seem just like a dream

Last night we were
Sitting by the harbour
The bonfires flickered
I played a song or two
You were lost in conversation
Sipping from a glass
Wishing that this time would never pass

Ah but I’m not going to say goodbye
I’ll just say see you again

The cab is here
You step inside
You take it easy now
Sit back, enjoy the ride
I watch the red lights fade
Out along the bay
Turn around and
Walk away
