"Kindred Spirit"

"Kindred Spirit"


The candlelight is fading as I gently kneel and say
An Ave for my mother as her spirit slips away
Away to join my father and to share eternity
We call them kindred spirits now they will forever be
So now they're reunited, smiling down from up above
As fondly we remember the old house they filled with love
How even through the hard times they were close as close could be
Just like the kindred spirits they will forever be
Now love was as deep as the ocean
Flying higher than the eagles would dare
As strong as the mountains in Donegal
As soft as a morning in Clair
I can see her in the kitchen, I can smell the baking bread
I can hear my father singing as he tucked us into bed
They shared the love together, they were proud as proud could be
And now those kindred spirits will share eternity
They shared the love together, they were proud as proud could be
They were always kindred spirits now they will forever be
For now those kindred spirits will share eternity

"Lagan Love"

"Lagan Love"


Love, my Lagan love,
My Lagan love.

Where Lagan stream sing lullaby,
There blows a lily fair.
The twilight gleam is in her eye,
The night is on her hair.
And like a love-sick lennan-shee
She hath my heart in thrall
No life have I, no liberty
For love is lord of all

My Lagan love.

And sometimes when the beetles horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto her shieling low
And through her dooreen peep
There on the cricket's singing stone
She stirs the bog wood fire
And hums in soft sweet undertones
The song of heart's desire

The song of heart's desire

"Last Christmas"

"Last Christmas"


Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
And the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten, twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, well, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, "I love you", I meant it
But now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me, you'd fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
And the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special, woah

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover when you tore me apart
Ooh, now, now that I found real love
You'll never fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special, woah

Gave you my heart
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Oh, oh, oh, oh, last Christmas

"Lauren & I"

"Lauren & I"


So see the leaves fall to the ground,
And see them lyin' all around,
'Cos still I can't see you,
And there's the wind that plays in the air,
Flying around, how it does not care
Still I can't see you

And the seasons pass away
And I still sit here lonely, each and every day,
Wonderin' what's gone wrong.
'Cos I don't remember seasons lastin' oh so long
Oh so long.

And I still can't see you
(I'm dreamin' every night, I'm searchin' every day)
And I still can't see you
(I had her in my sights, and let her slip away)
And I still can't see you
Lauren and I
Lauren and I

And there's the stars way in the sky
Leading my way and I don't know where or why
Still I can't see you.
And when my back's against the wall
I see a reason for it all
But I still can't see you

And I still can't see you
(I'm dreamin' every night, I'm searchin' every day)
And I still can't see you
(I had her in my sights, and let her slip away)
And I still can't see you
Lauren and I
Lauren and I
Lauren and I
Lauren and I

"Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow"

"Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow"


Oh, the weather outside is frightful
The fire is so delightful
Since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

Oh, the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbyeing
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I bought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

Oh, the fire is slowing dying
An,d my dear, we're still goodbyeing
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

"Life In The Old Dog Yet"

"Life In The Old Dog Yet"


In my time I've been a few places,
And I've many a story to tell.
Here I am still as strong
As I've been all along,
I'm not ready for heaven or hell.
There are people who do need reminding,
That I'm still the boss around here.
I still call every shot,
And I'll tell you what's what,
And what's not, do I make myself clear.

I'm not ready to roll over
I'm still, the daddy of the all,
I'm still the top banana,
They still answer when I call.
I'm older, yes, but I'm wiser,
And they better not forget,
I'm not ready to roll over
'Cos there's life in the old dog yet.

You can't put an old head on young shoulders
My advice is the best I can give
Let them make their mistakes;
Let them fight for their rights;
Let them learn how to love and to live.

I've only got the one daughter,
Time she married a man of her own,
And the one I have planned
Has got plenty of land,
She'll be grand, and I'll stand all alone.

I'm not ready to roll over
I'm still, the daddy of the all,
I'm still the top banana,
They still answer when I call.
I'm older, yes, but I'm wiser,
And they better not forget,
I'm not ready to roll over
'Cos there's life in the old dog yet.

I'm not ready to roll over
I'm still, the daddy of the all,
I'm still the top banana,
They still answer when I call.
I'm older, yes, but I'm wiser,
And they better not forget,
I'm not ready to roll over
'Cos there's life in the old dog yet.

'Cos there's life in this old dog yet.

"Life With You"

"Life With You"


When I was a younger man
When I was a silly boy
I didn't need a thing,
I was strong as anything,
I viewed solitude as a joy

But since I met you I'm distraught
You wandered in and now I'm caught
I never thought I would see
Someone so truly good
Some one who's so everything I'm not

I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left in me
Without you in our home

But what if, what if, what if what
If it's not perfect then it's not
But every care I'll take
Nothing I won't forsake
To dwell beside what you've got

Every time I think about you
I think I can't live with you
I'll tell you something
I am nothing without you

I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left in me
Without you in our home

I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left in me

Without you in our home [2x]

"Look At Me"

"Look At Me"


[Damian:]
Look at me
I'm cool and I'm charming
Debonair and disarming
That's me to a T
Take a look at me
Don't need no fandangos
I got all of the angles
Just look at me

[Damian:]
Look at me
[Keith:]
Look at you
[Damian: ]
I ain't no beginner
a natural winner
That's me to a T

[Damian:]
Take a look at me
[Keith:]
Take a look at you
[Damian:]
I can sing acappella
I'm a hell of a fella
Just look at me

[Keith:]
You know nothin' at all about ladies
Let me give you a piece of advice
You're headin' for nothin' but trouble
You'll be paying a hell of a price

'Cos you think you're a bit of a killer
That the ladies will fall at your feet "Ha"
They could eat you for supper
And spit you right out on the street

[Damian:]
Look at me
[Keith:]
Look at you
[Damian: ]
Your resistance will crumble
Get ready to rumble 1, 2, 3!
[Damian:]
Take a look at me
[Keith:]
Look at you
[Damian:]
I'm as fit as a fiddle
So let's hide it a little
Just you and me

[Keith:]
It's a very bad time to be cocky
When your out there on the pull
Hold your horse like a jockey
And don't rush in like a bull

You have to be patient with ladies
And tell them what they want to here
Keep a steady aim on your target
Don't shoot like a young pistoler

[Keith:]
Take a good look at yourself
For goodness sake
All the ladies are laughin'
Ask yourself why

Take a good look at yourself
And you will see
A natural loser
Take it from me

[Damian:]
Look at me
I ain't no beginner
A natural winner
That's me to a T

Take a look at me
I can sing acappella
I'm a hell of a fella
Just look at me

[Damian & Keith repeat what they just sang at the same time]

[Keith:]
A natural loser
Take it from me
[Damian:]
I'm a hell of a fella
Look at me

"Love Thee Dearest"

"Love Thee Dearest"


Love thee dearest, love thee
Yes, by yonder star I swear
Which through tears above thee
Shines so sadly fair
Thou, too, oft dimmed
With tears like him
Like him my truth will shine
And love thee, dearest, love thee
Yes - till death I'm thine.

Dormi amore dormi
Porta il fuore dove vuoi
Vola verso I sogni
Bella come sei
Tue sei per me la stella she
Per sempre brillera
E dormi amore dormi
E gia notte ormai

Dimmi amore dimmi
Che non te ne andrai mai piu
Quante notti insonni
Se mi manchi tu
Accanto a me le vuvole
Non torneranno mai
E sogna tutti I sogni
Che l'amore da
L'amore da

"Macushla"

"Macushla"


Macushla, Macushla your sweet voice is calling
Calling me softly again and again
Macushla Macushla I hear it's dear pleading
My blue eyed Macushla I hear it in vain
Macushla, Macushla your white arms are reaching
I feel them enfolding, caressing me still
Fling them out from the darkness my lost love Macushla
Let them find me, and bind me again if they will
Macushla, Macushla your red lips are saying
That death is a dream and love is for aye
Then awaken Macushla, awake from your dreaming
My blue eyed Macushla awaken to stay
