"The King Is Dead"

"The King Is Dead"


I have not come to worship you
Only flowers at your throne

I have not come to plead or beg
Or to claim what is my own

Oh i know you are the king
And you'll say what is wrong

I have come to cut you down
And to leave your body dead

You do not mean so much to me
Nor that crown upon your head

You are just as sad as me
You are lonely flesh and blood

And the time has come for you to die

And now you bleed, please spare my life
You know i'm the chosen one

I don't believe what you bequeth
And i must do what must be done

You say you're the only king
Your words just fall like rain

"The Right Time"

"The Right Time"


There’s a man
Walking down my street
Wearing old worn out shoes

There’s a woman
Hanging out her sheets
Singing out her blues

There’s a kid
In every classroom
That’s told they’re no good

But if they hang on
They’ll be bang on
They won’t be misunderstood

When it’s the right…
Time in your life
Got to be the right…
Time in your life

You think you’re on your own
But you are not alone
Just got to keep the faith

A dog will have its day
Or so they always say

So keep on holding on
You need to keep it strong
And head for that place

A little peace of mind
The day that you will find
The time of your life

When it’s the right…
Time in your life
Got to be the right…
Time in your life

Now listen…

When it’s the right…
Time in your life
Got to be the right…
Time in your life

"The Rowan Tree / Tell Me That You Love Me"

"The Rowan Tree / Tell Me That You Love Me"


Tell me that you love me
Even though I'm far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day
Well, I'm not new to this
Held on before when I should have let go
The mistakes that you make
Keep comin' round like a family ghost
I just wanna know
Am I moving in or heading for the coast
She said:
Tell me that you love me
Even though you're far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day
I don't know what to do
I'm all dressed up no place to go
Sailing against the wind, can't figure it out
Which way it will blow
Show me now
I'm lost at sea I'm sinking below
Help me now
Tell me, tell me
Tell me that you love me
Even though you're far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day.

"The Toast"

"The Toast"


If you enjoyed yourself tonight
A half as much as we did
Then we enjoyed ourselves twice as much
You gotta know we loved the show
And how we have been treated
And comin` back here is a must
But now ........... we´re all pretty drunk
It was well worth waiting
For the meal they´ve been creating
I can see why it took hours and hours
The drinkin´s been outrageous
We love when you play one of ours
I love my fridge magnet
My Medal is fantastic
My flowers and my coffee cup
But now we´re all kinda drunk
THe camera phones are at the ready
You better take that picture twice
I need something to cool my bevvy
Slainte mhath
Slainte mhath
Thank you for the kind words
And thank you for the speeches
It really did mean something to me
the big glass rifle
Full of vodka is delightful
And thank you for the picture of me
I know you really wish
That Jimmy´d try the fish
It´s a pity he´s already messed up
Besides.........we´re all pretty drunk
The mayor is here but he´s off his face
The dignitaries are getting pissed
He loves ´Love Hurts` and he owns the place
It doesn´t get any better than this
Slainte mhath
Slainte mhath
I wanna make a toast
Yeah I gotta make a toast
I wanna make a toast
Yeah I gotta make a toast
I´ve gotta make a toast
I gotta make a toast

"Thinkin' Man's Nightmare"

"Thinkin' Man's Nightmare"


She's a thinkin' man's nightmare
She got quicksand bridal wear
I'm her beach-ballin' dan dare
She feels so good

Owner sensational
She's a mona-wailin' wall
Alligator chainsaw
Feels so good
I didn't get where I am today
Givin' a dawn about judgement day
Mat be first in line when there's hell to pay
But I'm a grinnin'-sinnin' in a million ways:
A thinkin' man's nightmare
Feels so good

Snake bite creeper
Light house keeper
Reader and weeper
Feels so good

Tuxedo princess
In a home grown red dress
Sleazy, easy access
Feels so good

I didn't get where I am today
Givin' a dawn about judgement day
I may be the first in line when there's hell to pay
But I'm a grinnin'-sinnin' in a million ways:
She's a thinkin' man's nightmare
Feels so good
Snake bite creeper, fow lair timeshare
Light house keeper, cocktail light affair
She's a reader and a weeper, anytime, anywhere
Feels so good
A thinkin' man's nightmare, tuxedo princess
Quicksand bridal wear, in a home grown red dress
Beach-ballin' dan dare, sleazy, easy access

Feels so good, feels so good
Feels so good, feels so good

"This Flight Tonight"

"This Flight Tonight"


Look out the left the captain said
The lights down there that's where we'll land
Saw a falling star burning
High above the Las Vegas sand
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one that you wish upon
Not the northern one that guides in the sailors
You've got that touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Can't talk to you babe you know I get so weak
Sometimes I think that love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven, down there's a town
Blackness everywhere any little lights shine
Blackness, blackness draggin' me down
Come on light a candle in this heart of mine
Starbright, starbright, you've got the lovin' that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight
I'm drinkin' sweet champagne got the headphones up high
Can't numb you, can't drum you out of my mind
They're singin'-"Goodbye baby,
Baby bye-bye,
Ooh! love is blind"
Up go the flaps,down go the wheels
Hope you got your heat turned on baby
Hope they've finally fixed your automobile
Hope it's better when we meet again babe.

"This Month's Messiah"

"This Month's Messiah"


I'm just a pilgrim here looking for holy ground
I'm just a body lost but my soul can be found
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I don't know where to turn when answers all fade clear
But I must find a place there's only questions here
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I feel...feel like I'm on trial
Who made a judge of you
Are you this month's messiah
I am a fightin' man tired of living under the gun
But am I looking for love or am I looking to run
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I heard...I heard it on the wire
That it's all up to you
Are you this month's messiah
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon

"Time And Tide"

"Time And Tide"


It´s been sixteen years
And it don´t seem more
Than sixteen days
As the years roll by
Does the time really fly?
Did lose my way?
In a rock ´n´ roll band
With a guitar in my hand
And a song to play
It´s a life on the run
Having too much fun
On the Super Highway
Don´t pass me by.
Don´t pass me by
Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?
Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?
When you´re chasing your dreams
It sometimes seems
Like you can´t slow down
THe bed´s still made
When you´re on your way
To another town
But I never felt nothing
When I took a little something
To ease my mind
I just got on the track
and never looked back
for a long long time
Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?
Well it´s been eight years now
And i don´t know how
but I love her so
Met a girl who could love me
Put a ring on her finger
And I never let go
In a rock ´n´ roll band
with a guitar in my hand
And a song to play
Through time and tide
I finally find
A brand new way
Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?
Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?
Don´t pass me by.
Don´t pass me by
Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?
Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?

"Trouble"

"Trouble"


A ship comes in from Africa
Carrying forbidden cargo
Gonna bring somebody lots a trouble
There's a family out in Ohio
Gonna step on it and make it grow
Gonna fool some people at the double
Let it all go round
And it all comes down
A captain down in Florida
Knows a man back in Chicago
Every deal you know he's makin money
Rico comes from Texas way
With a senorita from El Paso
Glad he's found the land of milk and honey
Let it all go round
And it all comes down
'G' Man down in Panama
Cuts a trail to Barcelona
Dip-lo-matic bag will be no hassle
Sails into the big T.O.
Thru' the pipeline to Alaska
She's the one in town with something special
Maybe you maybe me maybe them
Look at you look at me look at them
Cut it out
You don't need it anyway
Sees its face in Tennessee
Knows a place in Casablanca
Detroit City never was a stranger
On the streets of Amsterdam
London town and all around us
Everywhere we look we see the danger
Let it all go round
And it all comes down

Turn on your receiver , I'm gonna lat it on the line
