"John I Love You"

"John I Love You"


John I love you
I'm ever so fond of you
Will you wait for me
'Til I am heavenly
Oh there's much work to do
But I love you
Oh you're tender
Your name's a whisper
I let tears fall like rain
Apple-sized they were
All over her
And through all of those times
When you could have died
This is what you find
There's life outside your mother's garden
There's life beyond your wildest dreams
There hasn't been any explosion
We're not spinning like Dorothy
If you look now then you'll see why
Don't be afraid to cry
This time don't let yourself fly
Child
Pick up those dancing shoes
Kick off those wedding blues
These are the ways
You can choose
Child you're tender
Your name's a whisper
There's life outside your mother's garden
There's life beyond your wildest dreams
There hasn't been any explosion
We're not spinning like Dorothy
And if you look now then you'll see why
Don't be afraid to cry
This time don't let yourself fly
Child
Pick up those dancing shoes
Kick off those wedding blues
These are the ways
You can choose
Child I love you
I'm ever so fond of you

"Jump In The River"

"Jump In The River"


The phone calls
Always left me unsure
They'd never say things of their own accord
I am preoccupied
I can't get them out of my mind
They are terrified
And if you said jump in the river I would
Because it would probably be a good idea
You're not supposed to be here at all now
It's all been a gorgeous mistake
Sick one or clean one
The best one
That God ever made
When I kissed you
You didn't mind
I thought I tasted of too many cigarettes
But you tasted like wine
And I'm not going to change my mind
Just because of what they said
The worm has laid eggs in their hearts
But not in my head
And if you said jump in the river I would
Because it would probably be a good idea
You're not supposed to be here at all now
It's all been a gorgeous mistake
Sick one or clean one
The best one
That God ever made
There's been days like this before you know
And I liked it all
Like the times we did it so hard
There was blood on the wall
And if you said jump in the river I would
Because it would probably be a good idea
And if you said jump in the river I would
Because it would probably be a good idea

"Just Call Me Joe"

"Just Call Me Joe"


We came here across the great divide
Into the city, slander all eyes
We found a great love as we fell inside
They could not touch us as we'd go by
I've seen you the first time in Trogny's bar
But I'll see you later, we'll talk of black
We'll meet up for sure, oh will we not?
Away from all of the friends that you've got
Oh no, oh no
I said don't call me sir
just call me Joe
Don't call me lady
Just call me Joe
Don't call me mister
Oh, just call me Joe
Don't call me sweetheart
Just call me Joe
You wear the best clothes that I've ever seen
I've seen your light and your poetry
And it's the best thing that there's ever been
You're both the beauty and the beast
That's how it is and that's how it end
Into another city where you live far away
That's how it is and that's how it end
You've seen my face but you've never heard my name
Oh no, oh oh
I said don't call me sir
Oh, just call me Joe
Don't call me lady
Just call me Joe
Don't call me mister
Just call me Joe
Don't call me sweetheart
Just call me Joe

"Just Like U Said It Would B"

"Just Like U Said It Would B"


I will walk in the garden
And feel religion within
I will learn how to run with the big boys
I will learn how to sink and to swim
And there's talk in the houses
And people dancing in rings
Ah, when you close my eyes, babe?
I can see most everything
I can see most everything
It's just like u said it would b
It's Just like u said it would b
It's just like u said it would b
It's Just like u said it would b
I can see too many mouths open
Too many eyes closed, ears closed
Not enough minds open
Too many legs open
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, do
Why isn't it why why
I don't see why I listen, why, why
When I've walked in the garden
When I'm walking off stage
When everything's quiet
Will you stay?
Will you be my lover?
Will you be my mama?
I said will you be my lover?
I said will you be my babe?
When I lay down my head
At the end of my day
Nothing would
Nothing would please me better
Than I find that you're there
When I lay down my head
At the end of my day
Nothing would
Nothing would please me better
Than I find that you're there when I wake
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Will you be my lover?
Will you be my mama?
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b

"Kingdom Of Rain"
(feat. The The)

"Kingdom Of Rain"
(feat. The The)


Tell me what you're thinking baby
You heart's beating faster than mine
And I know something's going on
In your life
Your life
Your life

You were the girl I wanted to cry with
You were the girl I wanted to die with

And you were the boy who turned in to the man
Broke my heart & let go of my hand
Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we've got to give
Has all spurted out
There's no more blood and no more pain
In our kingdom of rain

You think you know about life
You think you know about love
But when you put your hands inside me
It doesn't even feel like I'm being touched

You were the boy I wanted to cry with
You were the boy I wanted to die with
You've moved further from my side
Year by year
While still making love
Dutifully sincere
But as silent as the car lights
That move across this room
As cold as our bodies silhouetted by the moon
And I would lie awake & wonder
Is it just me
Or is this the way that love is supposed to be?

Tell me what you told him baby
My heart's beating out of time in my mind
And I know something's going wrong
In our lives

I just wanted somebody to caress, this damsel in distress.
I just wanted somebody to undress, this damsel in distress.
I just wanted somebody to bless, this damsel in distress.
I just wanted somebody to possess, this young girl

Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we've got to give
Has all spurted out
Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we've got to give
Has all spurted out
Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we've got to give
Has all spurted out

There's no more blood and no more pain
In our kingdom of rain...

"Kisses Like Mine"

"Kisses Like Mine"


You never had kisses like mine
So soft you'll find yourself crying
And after you weep
You'll fall asleep
And while my heart's flying
You'll be dreaming that I'm
The keeping kind

See I'm special forces
They call me in after divorces
To lift you up
You thought you weren't much
And I'll mean every word
But be gone with the birds
Baby I just can't be yours

I have a heart that flies away
Betrays me every day
But don't let it stay heavy on your mind
I'm just not the, not the, not the keeping kind

But you never had kisses like mine
So soft you'll find yourself crying
And after you weep
You'll fall asleep
And while my heart's flying
You'll be dreaming that I'm
The keeping kind
Keeping kind, keeping kind, keeping kind

See I'm special forces
They call me in after divorces
To lift you up
You thought you weren't much
And I'll mean every word
But I'm gone with the birds
Baby I just can't be yours

"Little Story"

"Little Story"


When I saw him standing down there
Leaning on his umbrella I
Knew he was me fella for life
Said oh he'll do me right

Cares about the 2 of us
Takes 3 buses and The Luas
Just to do me right
Oh just to do me right
Oh to do me right

Says come here baby, let me
Tell you a little story
About a man who wants his glory all night
Get up and let me do you right
Open up and let me do you right

Dress me like a lady and
Make me swing and sway
Take my mind all night
Ooh you know the way

When I wear me red dress
He have to keep his hands in his pockets
Cause he wants to do me right
I think he wants to do me right
Wants to do me right

I think he must be blind
Out of his tiny mind cause
He wants to do me right
Mmmm, he wants to do me right

Says come here baby, let me
Tell you a little story
About a man who wants his glory all night
Get up and let me do you right
Open up and let me do you right

Call me baby, baby
Always be good and kind to me
Say you'll always only
Want to do me right

Say come here baby, let me
Tell you a little story
About a man who wants his glory all night
Get up and let me do you right
Open up and let me do you right

"Lord Baker"
(feat. Christy Moore)

"Lord Baker"
(feat. Christy Moore)


There was a Lord who lived in this land
He being a Lord of high degree
He left his foot down a ship's board
And swore strange countries he would go see.

He's travelled east and he's travelled west
Half the north and the south also
Until he arrived into Turkey land.
There he was taken and bound in prison
Until his life it grew weary.

And Turkey bold had one only daughter
As fair a lady, as the eye could see
She stole the key to her Daddy's harbour
And swore Lord Baker, she would set free.

Singing, 'You have houses and you have linen,
All Northumber belongs to thee
What would you give to Turkey's daughter
If out of prison she'd set you free?'

Singing, 'I have houses, I have linen,
All Northumber belongs to me
I would will them all to you my darling,
If out of prison you set me free?'

She's brought him down to her Daddy's harbour
And filled for him was the ship of fame
And every toast that she did drink round him,
'I wish Lord Baker that you were mine.'

They made a vow for seven years
And seven more for to keep it strong
Saying 'If you don't wed with no other woman
I'm sure I'll wed with no other man.'

And seven years been past and over
And seven more they were rolling on
She's bundled up all her golden clothing
And swore Lord Baker she would go find.

She's travelled East and she's travelled West
Until she came to the palace of fame
'Who is that, who is that?' called the young foot soldier
'Who knocks so gently and can't get in?'

'Is this Lord Baker's palace?' replied the lady
'Or is his lordship himself within?'
'This is Lord Baker's palace' replied the porter,
'This very day took a new bride in.'

'Well ask him send me a cut of his wedding cake
A glass of his wine that been e'er so strong
And to remember the brave young lady
Who did release him in Turkey land.'

In goes, in goes, the young foot soldier
Kneels down gently on his right knee
'Rise up, rise up now the brave young porter,
What news, what news have you got for me?'

Singing, 'I have news of a grand arrival,
As fair a lady as the eye could see
She is at the gate
Waiting for your charity.'

'She wears a gold ring on every finger,
And on the middle one where she wears three,
She has more gold hanging around her middle
Than'd buy Northumber and family.'

'She asked you send her a cut of your wedding cake
A glass of your wine, it been e'er so strong,
And to remember the brave young lady
Who did release you in Turkey land.'

Down comes, down comes the new bride's mother
'What will I do with my daughter dear?'
'I know your daughter, she's not been covered
Nor has she shown any love for me.

Your daughter came with one pack of gold
I'll avert her home now, with thirty-three.'
He took his sword all by the handle
And cut the wedding cake, in pieces three
Singing 'here's a slice for the new bride's mother
A slice for me new love and one for me.'

And then Lord Baker, ran to his darling
Of twenty-one steps, he made but three
He put his arms around Turkey's daughter
And kissed his true love, most tenderly.

"Lord Franklin"

"Lord Franklin"


We were homeward bound one night on the deep
Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep
I dreamed a dream and I thought it true
Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew

With 100 seamen he sailed away
To the frozen ocean in the month of May
To seek a passage around the pole
Where all poor sailors do sometimes go.

Through cruel hardships they vainly strove
Their ships on mountains of ice was drove
Only the Eskimo with his skin canoe
Was the only one that ever came through

In Baffin's Bay where the whale fish blow
The fate of Franklin no man may know
The fate of Franklin no tongue can tell
And Lord Franklin among his seamen do dwell

And now my burden it gives me pain
For my Lord Franklin I'd sail the main
Ten thousand pounds I would freely give
To know Lord Franklin, and where he is.
