Everything
Everything in its right place In its right place Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon Everything Everything in its right place In its right place There are two colours in my head There are two colours in my head What, what is that you tried to say? What, what was that you tried to say? Tried to say Tried to say Everything in its right place |
I slip away, I slipped on a little white lie
We’ve got heads on sticks You’ve got ventriloquists Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed The rats and children follow me out of town Come on kids |
Everyone, everyone around here
Everyone is so near It’s holding on It’s holding on Everyone, everyone is so near Everyone has got the fear It’s holding on It’s holding on It’s holding on |
That there, that’s not me
I go where I please I walk through walls I float down the Liffey I’m not here This isn’t happening I’m not here I’m not here In a little while I’ll be gone The moment’s already passed Yeah it’s gone And I’m not here This isn’t happening I’m not here I’m not here Strobe lights And blown speakers Fireworks And hurricanes I’m not here This isn’t happening I’m not here I’m not here |

Flies are buzzing round my head
Vultures circling the dead Picking up every last crumb The big fish eat the little ones The big fish eat the little ones Not my problem, give me some You can try the best you can The best you can is good enough This one’s optimistic This one went to market This one just came out of the swamp This one dropped a payload Fodder for the animals Living on animal farm You can try the best you can The best you can is good enough I’d really like to help you, man I’d really like to help you, man Nervous messed up marionettes Floating around on a prison ship You can try the best you can The best you can is good enough Dinosaurs roaming the Earth Dinosaurs roaming the Earth |
Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea
I got a message I can’t read Another message I can’t read Being the first in the Irish Sea I got a message I can’t read Another message I can’t read I’m on your side Nowhere to hide Trapdoors that open I spiral down You’re living in a fantasy world You’re living in a fantasy world I’m lost at sea Don’t bother me I’ve lost my way I’ve lost my way You’re living in a fantasy world You’re living in a fantasy world You’re living in a fantasy world The most beautiful woman in the world Come back! |

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms Cheap sex and sad films Help me get back where I belong I think you’re crazy, maybe I think you’re crazy, maybe Stop sending letters Letters always get burned It’s not like the movies They fed us on little white lies I think you’re crazy, maybe I think you’re crazy, maybe I will see you in the next life. |
