"Where Peaceful Waters Flow"

"Where Peaceful Waters Flow"


When the world you live in
Really gets you down
When you feel a pain inside you
Starting to pound
And the girl you love
She doesn't want to know
Let an old friend as a Godsend
Lead you to where peaceful waters flow
And if the day you thought
Was drawing to a close
Just drags on and on till when
Only heaven knows
And the car you bought this morning doesn't go
Let an old friend as a Godsend
Lead you to where peaceful waters flow
There you'll find
Much to your pleasure
That you haven't got a care
All the worries you had in you
Are no longer there

Take my hand and I will lead you to a place
Where the sun will warm your heart
With all of its rays
And the sky at night
Has such a magic glow
It's feeling unbelieving
In a land where peaceful waters flow
Where you'll find
Much to your pleasure
That you haven't got a care
All the worries you had in you
Are no longer there
Follow me and I will lend you to a place
Where the sun will warm your heart
With all of its rays
And the sky at night
Has such a magic glow
It's a feeling unbelieving
In a land where peaceful waters flow
Where peaceful water flow
Take me to where peaceful waters flow
Take me back where peaceful waters flow

"Where The Hell Have You Been"

"Where The Hell Have You Been"


You know my inside pockets
Got my outside twin
So badly indisposed
I think I'll dust my bin
And all the while you're making eyes at me
You could be doing something useful
Like climbing up a tree
Who knows there may be something lurking
Like a koala bear
All the way from down under
But don't ask me where

And on the subject of Australia
Did you know some wives
Don't mind when their husbands
Get home at night
Know what I mean
Every time I get home late
My wife says where the hell have you been

Oh Helen do be careful lying in the sun
Don't mind what you take off
Long as you've something on
And all the while
You give the neighbors a thrill
You could be doing something useful
Like climbing up a hill
Okay so hills do not agree with you
Then try one that's flat
Surely there's no better way
That's better than that
And on the subject of alternatives
Did you know some guys
Don't mind when their girlfriends
Get home at night
Oh what a dream
If I'm just a minute late
My wife says where the hell have you been

And all the while you're making eyes I see
You could be doing something useful
Like climbing over me
Now then there's nothing to be frightened of
I won't let you fall
Dare I say it I just hope
That you'll be enthralled

And on the subject of enthrallment
Do you know some wives
Don't mind when their husbands
Come home at night
Know what I mean
Every time I get home late
Mine says where the hell have you been

"Who Knows, Perhaps, Maybe"

"Who Knows, Perhaps, Maybe"


I don't know why you came
But I'm glad all the same
After all you've been good to me
And if you want me to love you
In a real good way
Who knows perhaps, maybe
I don't know where you've been
But I've got this thing
That I want you to do for me
Is it something that's good?
Well, baby, all I can say is
Who knows perhaps, maybe
Take your time don't hurry
Now there's no need to worry
The worst that you can be is late
Here's the telephone
Call your mama up at home
Tell her sorry but you've been delayed

I don't know where to start
Got this pain in my heart
And it's aching to be set free
If you feel you can help me
And you'd like to try
Who knows perhaps
Who knows perhaps
Who knows perhaps, maybe
All right okay everybody
If you're feeling in the mood
Come on get happy
The way you should
I don't know why you came
But I'm glad all the same
After all you've been good to me
And if you want me to love you
In a special way
Who knows perhaps maybe
Take your time don't hurry
Now there's no need to worry
The worst that you can be is late
Here's the telephone
Call your mama up at home
Tell her sorry but you've been delayed
I don't know why you came
But I'm glad all the same
After all you've been good to me
And if you want me to love you
In a special way
Who knows perhaps
Who knows perhaps
Who knows perhaps maybe

"Who Was It"

"Who Was It"


Who was it that caught you falling
And put you back on your feet
Who was it that tripped you any way
(In order that the two of us would meet)
It was me and I'll tell you why
Oh! I did it because of my
Pure unabashed devotion to loving you
Who was it that tried to kiss you
Despite a very definite no
And who was it that managed to succeed
(In getting it with your fist down below)
It was me and I'll tell you why
Oh! I did it because of my
Pure unabashed devotion to loving
You and me both feel the same
We even look alike
And like it's a bloomin' shame
That because we do
People think we're you
Know what I mean
Who was it that came to see you
When there was no-one else in sight
And who was it that stayed over an hour
(And not as I'd expected over night)
It was me and I'll tell you why
Oh! I did it because of my
Pure unabashed devotion to loving
Pure unabashed devotion to loving
You, you, you, you
Who was it that caught you falling

"Why Pretend"

"Why Pretend"


Oh everyone knows
You're all alone
So why pretend
And everyone knows
You're on your own
Why not let it end
Your baby's gone
And you're all alone
So why pretend.
Every time
You're not at home
You say that she's with you
Isn't it time
You made it known
That she isn't with you
She's far away
And there she will stay
Oh why pretend

You didn't want her
When her heart grew fonder
Oh, of you by her side
You didn't love her
So she found another
Oh, why pretend
It's got to end.

'Cos everyone knows
You're all alone
So why pretend
You didn't want her
When her heart grew fonder
Oh, of you by her side
You didn't love her
So she found another
Oh, why pretend
It's got to end

Oh everyone knows
You're all alone
So why pretend
And everyone knows
That you're on your own
why not let it end
Your baby's gone
And you're all alone
So why pretend.

"Why, Oh Why, Oh Why"

"Why, Oh Why, Oh Why"


Why is it you must be so very cruel to me
In order to be kind
Why when I hold you close
Do you insist your toes
Are being stood on by mine
Why when I kiss your lips
Do you astound me
Saying that you wont put
Your arms around me
No one should be that cold
What ever ive done
Surely ive a right to know
Oh why oh why oh why

Why is it ev'ry time we
Visit friends of mine
You never want to go why

When I'm feeling good
You act as if I should be
At an all time low
Why after all these years
Weve been together
Must you behave as if we'd hardly ever
Spoken let alone met it seems that you're
Happy as long as I'm upset
Oh why oh why oh why
Is it that you don't love me oh why
Have you just had enough of me
Oh why do I always have to cry
Mvself to oo sleep seven days a week

La la la la la la la...
Why in the name of God
Are you so angry
Could it be that you can
No longer stand me tell me and i will go
You're breaking my heart
Just in case you didn't know
Oh why oh why oh why

"Will I Do?"

"Will I Do?"


Everybody needs somebody
You need someone too
If you can't find him and you've looked real hard
Will I will I do

Forget that big hunk pumping iron
He's no good it's true
You need someone whose ribs sticking out
Will I will I do?

If I had the choice not to make a choice
Then what choice is this
If I had your nerve on a windy day
I'd blow you a kiss

We all need someone that we respect
Who we can look up to
If I put shoes on to increase my height
Will I will I do?

If I had to choose between black and white
I would go for green
Is impossible not impossible not if you can dream

I'm not rich like those other types
Go to work by tube
But I'm made in Ireland not Taiwan
Will I will I do?

"Wonder Why"

"Wonder Why"


Some say the right words, some say it's absurd
To think that children can brutally die
I say it's easy, so very easy
And all we do is wonder why

In spite of progress, you say we're making
In spite of wisdom, stretching afar
We find solutions, always solutions
But none to mend a broken heart

Can't be in two places at one time
I can't even stretch my legs
Without someone pointing a finger at me
Saying you'd better stop or else
You are the kingdom, you are the glory
No doubt without you I just couldn't survive
And yet it happens, oh when it happens
What do we do, we wonder why

Can't be in two places at one time
I can't even stretch my legs
Without someone pointing a finger at me
Saying you're too big for yourself

Some say the right words, some say it's absurd
To think that children, without food can die
I say it's easy, so very easy
And all we do is wonder why

"World Of Work"

"World Of Work"


From the cradle to the grave
From the present to the cave
All we're doing most of our lives
Is for the most part trying to survive

Aspirations all every well
Your degree it looks really swell
Only problem always the same

It's heads their needing and not a brain
Welcome to the world of work
You can start by giving
Up the notion that now you are swell
Welcome to the world of work
It's a job and you can take it from me
No guarantee

All your life you dreamt about this
Sole ambition since you were a kid
Now it's happened how does it feel
Dream is over this for real

Sat for hours in front of a screen
Mouse will tell you what you are seeing
When you get home how to relax
Another screen for you to look at

Welcome to the world of work
It's a kind of living
Where you give more than you'll ever receive

Welcome to the world of work
Only place a loyal servant can be
Kicked in the teeth

Mind your manners mind how you go
Union rep. now does as he's told
One at all out used to mean stop
Now you're frightened of losing your job

Small percentage do as they please
Most if not all have family trees
You can see them scuttling about
Silver teaspoons stuck in their mouth

Welcome to the world of work
Its a place where giving
Ls the price you pay for something to eat
Welcome to the world of work
It's where surplus to requirements could be
You they don't need

Welcome to the world of work
It's a nice beginning
Followed shortly by a coffee or tea
Welcome to the world of work
After which you will be run off your feet
Trying to compete

"You And Me And The Garden Post"

"You And Me And The Garden Post"


Hard to know what possesses anyone
After a parent's died
Why tell the world how badly they treated you
Could it not be you lied

Let's not go down that road you read about
Let's keep all we disclose
Between you me and the garden post

One day, rainbows next day hailstorms
Soundtrack to all our lives
What we have here let's be quite clear
Sea-levels on the rise

And as to who we now hope can sort it out
I don't think they've come close
Between you me and the garden post

You can lead a horse to the water's edge
But you cannot force it to drink
Which is not to say if it had a choice
It might prefer to swim

How I hate it when someone corners me
And in a minute flat
I know how much they've earned in a year

And bow many homes they have
Let's not go clown this road to boorishness
Let's keep all we can boast
Between you me and the garden post

If money talks and we know it does
What language does it speak
If you figure is less then you figure must be greed

Always knew you would be my angel
Once you had took me in
Not so in much for being under your spell
More for it being your wing

Let's talk openly of our relationship
Let's keep all we disclose
Between you me and the garden post
