"My Bucket's Got A Hole In It"

"My Bucket's Got A Hole In It"


Well I'm standing on the corner
With my bucket in my hand
Just waiting for a woman
That ain't got no man

My bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
Can't buy no beer

Well I went up on the mountain
Looked down in the sea
Seen the crabs and the fishes
Doing the be bop beat

My bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
Can't buy no beer

Well there ain't no use
Me working so hard
When I got a woman
In the boss mans yard

My bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
Can't buy no beer

"My Lagan Love"

"My Lagan Love"


Where Lagan streams sing lullabies
There blows a lily fair.
The twilight gleam is in her eye,
The night is on her hair.
And like a lovesick lenashee
She hath my heart in thrall.
No life have I, no liberty,
For love is Lord of all.

And often when the beetles horn
Has lulled the eve to sleep,
I'll steal into her sheiling lorn
And through the doorway creep.
There on the cricket's singing stone,
She makes the bogwood fire
And sings in sweet and undertone,
The song of hearts desire.

"My Lonely Sad Eyes"

"My Lonely Sad Eyes"


Fill me my cup
and I'll drink your sparkling wine
pretending everything is fine
till I see your sad eyes

Throw me a kiss
across a crowded room
some sunny windswept afternoon
there's none too soon for me to miss
my sad eyes
woh oh ou, not bad eyes
a glad eyes, but you my sad eyes

Fortunate and free
and there go you and I
between the other sky
but who are you and I
to wonder why we do so
my sad eyes - lonely

Oh what a story
come on in all it's glory
this song that I sing in everything
for you my sad eyes

You'd better fill me my cup
and I'll drink your sparkling wine
pretending everything is fine
till I see your sad eyes
woh oh ou, not bad eyes
a glad eyes, but you my sad eyes
lonely sad eyes

Fill me my cup
and I'll drink your sparkling wine
pretending everything is fine
till I see your sad eyes

Throw me a kiss
across a crowded room
some sunny windswept afternoon
there's none too soon for me to miss
my sad eyes
oh, not bad eyes
but glad eyes, you my sad eyes

Fortunate and free
and there go you and I
between the other sky
but who are you and I
to wonder why we do so
my sad eyes, yeah yeah

Oh what a story

this song that I sing in everything
for you my sad eyes

You fill me my cup

oh, not bad eyes
but glad eyes, it's you that I [ sa.....ile ?! ]
ah, sad - lord, sad eyes - sad eyes

"Mystic Of The East"

"Mystic Of The East"


Mystic of the east, mystic from the streets
Mystic with no brief, back here on the street
Mystic out of reach, can't find no reason to speak
I just got in too deep for the mystic of the east

I was deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart

Mystic with no peace, back here in the east
Fed up to the teeth, mystic of the east

I was deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart

Mystic out of reach, can't seem to find my brief
Gone with the wild geese and I've had it up to the teeth
Mystic of the east, back here on the streets
Mystic with no brief, I can't find any reason to speak

Mystic of the east, east, east, east
Back here on the street, back on the street
Back on the street, mystic of the east
Back here on the street, mystic of the east

"Naked In The Jungle"

"Naked In The Jungle"


Naked in the jungle, naked to the world
Naked in the jungle, naked to the world
Well, you gotta keep it humble, else it'll come unfurled

Lions and the tigers, grazin' in the grass
Lions and the tigers, grazin' in the grass
As I keep a-watching over, make sure no one can pass

Ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha. Aaaaah!

Speak out, speak out, speak out, speak out
Speak out, speak out, speak out, speak out

Big fish eat the little fish, and the rabbit's on the run
Big fish eat the little fish, and the rabbit's on the run
Some folks gettin' too much, other just ain't gettin' none

Naked in the jungle, naked to the world
Naked in the jungle, naked to the world
Well, you gotta keep 'em humble, else you'll come unfurled

Let's go boy!

"Natalia"

"Natalia"


I'm walkin' down the street
I'm on that midnight beat
I'm on a lonely avenue
Baby, won't you walk with me
Baby, won't you talk with me
Oh that's all I want you to do, now
Walk with me
Talk to me
Call your name out

[Chorus:]
Na Na, Na Na, Na Na
Na Na, Na Na, Na Na
Na Na, Na Na, Na Na, Natalia
Here on a summer night
I wanna kiss and hold you tight
Just the way we used to do
Walkin' down the same old street
People that we used to meet
Such a long, long time ago, now
Walk with me
Talk to me
And I call out your name

[Chorus x2]

On a magic night like this
I hunger for your kiss
On a magic night like this

[Chorus]

Walk with me
Talk with me
Walk with me
Talk with me
Natalia, Natalia, Natalia
Natalia, Natalia, Natalia

"New Biography"

"New Biography"


See you've got the new biography
Where did they get the info from
Same as before some, so called friends
Who claim to have, known me then
How come they've got such good memories
And I can't even remember last week
Got to queston where they're coming from
What knowledge of me is it that they speak

So far away, way back when
The people that claim, to have known me then
Not on my wavelength and it's such a shame
That they have to play the name game
The fame game, oh the name game,
Lord it's a cryin' shame
Lord tell me what's to blame

Reinvented all the stories they know
Give them all a different slant
What is it that they're really looking for
Just a hobby on the internet

So far away, way back when
The people that claim, to have known me then
Not on my wavelength and it's such a shame
That they have to play the name game
The fame game, the name game,
Oh it's such a cryin' shame, tell me who's to blame

If they didn't really know me way back
How can they know me now, in any respect
It's a pity they don't feel the pain
That they should pay the price to play, to play
The fame game, the name game
It's such a cryin' shame, please tell me who's to blame

Not on my wavelength and it's such a shame
That they have to play, have to play the fame game
Oh the name game, it's a cryin' shame
Please tell me who's to blame
They keep on playin'
The fame game, oh the name game
It's such a cryin' shame, please tell me who's to blame
Keep on playin' the fame game
Lord, the name game, its such a cryin' shame
Please tell me who's to blame
They just keep on playin' the fame game
Oh the name game, its such a cryin' shame
Please tell me who's to blame
Keep on, keep on playin'..

"News Nightclub"

"News Nightclub"


Been workin' in nightclubs so long, can hardly stand the break of day
Been workin' in nightclubs so long, can hardly stand the break of day
Run down rooms and bad places
But it's still the only way

Gonna be here through Sunday evening, be someplace else on Tuesday night
Gonna be here through Sunday evening, be someplace else on Tuesday night
If I get home with all my money
Everything will be alright

If I had a million dollars, I'd sit right down and relax
If I had a million dollars, I'd sit right down and relax
I'd go off and buy myself a nightclub
And write it off my income tax

"No Religion"

"No Religion"


We didn't know no better, and they said it could be worse
Some people thought it was blessing
Other people think that it's a curse
It's a choice between fact and fiction
And the whole world has gone astray
That's why there's no religion, no religion, no religion here today

And there's no straight answers
Of what this thing called love is all about
Some say it's unconditional
Other people just remain in doubt
Well I cleaned up my diction, I had nothing left to say
Except there's no religion, no religion, no religion here today

And they ask what hate is
It's just the other side of love
Some people want to give their enemies
Everything they think that they deserve
Some say why don't you love your neighbours
Go ahead, turn the other cheek
But there's nobody on this planet that can ever be so meek
And I can't bleed for you
You have to do it your own way
And there's no religion, no religion, no religion here today

And they ask what hate is
It's just the other side of love
Some people want to give their enemies
Everything they think that they deserve
Some say why don't you love your neighbours
Go ahead, turn the other cheek
But have you ever met anybody who's ever been the meek
And it's so cruel to expect the saviour to save the day
And there's no religion, no religion, no religion here today

And there's no mystery, and there's nothing hidden
And there's no religion here today

And there's no religion, no religion, no religion here today
