Lyrics

Ignatius in bloom

Forever you.

it was dark with just a small shadow of light
the reflection from the window meant you were beside me
it was silent, cold and tragic but i clung on
i felt your fingertips slowly burning down my spine
but as usual you were gone

chorus
don't wake up so peaceful and still you look
and for the last time i closed the door and behind it was
was the times i am leaving behind.


and now I'm living with dora and she’s ok
but she isn't you and the jumper she wears
smells alien and strange and i just can't get used to
not being with you

the time in the park, the time cycling through forests
my eyes by now just steeped in memories
and just a glimpse is all i need to make me go weak from crumbling knees
the world could shatter and grow old but my love for you just never grows cold.

chorus
don't wake up so peaceful and still you look
and for the last time i closed the door and behind it was
was the times i am leaving behind.


they said it would pass, but here in darkness it just grows old.

The murder of Sarah Coins

it was only her eighteenth winter and three children under her
not hers but now cast as mother and whore
during the day, full of love, full of warmth but at night out to the icy decaying streets
and one night November seventeenth she wouldn't be coming home

Chorus
Pigeon faced people smirked and in hush tones spoke and falsely proclaimed god bless Sarah Coins and never again will she have to open her legs, the wounds of life have been replaced with death.

he was handsome and with a scar running down the left cheek of his face
he summoned her to his car and in she got and off they drove
he brought her to an abandoned house out in dark fields afar
and when he produced the knife not a sound did Sarah Coin make
she knew the imagery and she knew the ending

Chorus
Pigeon faced people smirked and in hush tones spoke and falsely proclaimed god bless Sarah Coins and never again will she have to open her legs, the wounds of life have been replaced with death.




she is drenched in sun now and drenched in sand
back into the warm arms of her dead mother she is now
and all the cold people go back to work
never understanding the sufferings of Sarah Coins
deep in hers eyes and far in her soul
Sarah Coins has blossomed in time, full of life and mystical charms
she lays in flowers on a bed of gold

Chorus
Pigeon faced people smirked and in hush tones spoke and falsely proclaimed god bless Sarah Coins and never again will she have to open her legs, the wounds of life have been replaced with death.

Bit of work on these and you could have something really good but to be honest for me they don't read like lyrics but they could with a bit of tidying up on the lines so they flow better, in parts they both have that haunting feel to them so i would say just keep the words that your lyric line needs and less of the word for word guide.

Just my thoughts on both.

Thanks for the feedback. I know the flow is wrong so will work at making them flow better.

The murder of Sarah Coins

Her eighteenth winter and three children to care for
Cast as mother and whore
Full of love, full of warmth but at night to the cold streets she took
and November seventeenth she won’t be coming home

Chorus
Pigeon faced they smirked and quietly spoke
Said god bless Sarah Coins
Never again to open her legs
Her wounds of life
Now replaced with death

Handsome and tall
A long scar runs deep into him
Summoned her to his car
In she got and off they drove
An abandoned field he took her
Far from where she is from
A knife produced and not a sound from Sarah coins
Fate accepted from his gruesome touch
The end she embraced

Chorus
Pigeon faced they smirked and quietly spoke
Said god bless Sarah Coins
Never again to open her legs
Her wounds of life
Now replaced with death

Lying in sand and drenched in gold
Her dead mother’s arms she falls backwards towards
Back to work they heave
Never to understand Sarah’s grief
In her eyes and in her soul
Sarah coins has blossomed in afterlife
On a field of flowers in a bed of gold she now lays


Chorus
Pigeon faced they smirked and quietly spoke
Said god bless Sarah Coins
Never again to open her legs
Her wounds of life
Now replaced with death

Forever young

In a dark bed just a small shadow of light
A reflection of you beside me
Silent, cold and tragic I still clung
Your fingertips slowly burning through my spine
As usual you were gone

Chorus
So peaceful and still you look
For the last time I close the door
The times we shared I’m leaving behind

And now I’m staying with Dora
She isn’t you
Her jumper smells strange and alien
Her scent I can’t get lost into
your scent still lingers on

Chorus
So peaceful and still you look
For the last time I close the door
The times we shared I’m leaving behind

A walk in the park, a cycle in the forest
My eyes seeping in our memories
A glimpse is all it takes
To make my knees crumbling and weak
And the world may shatter and I grow old
But the love we shared refuses to grow cold

Chorus
So peaceful and still you look
For the last time I close the door
The times we shared I’m leaving behind

They said it would pass, but in darkness here alone it just grows old.

Shadow boxer

In the bottle he lived
His bible recited daily
His stale breath down her imaginary neck
Crawling towards his own madness

Painted his walls white
At night to become his greatest opponent
A reflection of spit and tears
A mirror he cannot bear to reflect

He reclines and they call his name
His reflection in a bottle of pale
Anything not to think
His swollen lips red and blue
A result of a life in slow decay

Chorus
Punching holes and skipping free
Shadow boxer on his heels
His movement fine and his head is free
Shadow boxer for no one to see


Morning is worse when the snakes set free
Tormenting his every thought
Knuckles bruised and cello taped
A pain at least he sees

A bathroom of white tiles
Mixed with blood and sweat
An unused bath soaks his sins
A collapsed lung a self-inflicted rule

Chorus
Punching holes and skipping free
Shadow boxer on his heels
His movement fine and his head is free
Shadow boxer for no one to see

You know when i first read your work i got a strong sense of spoken word poetry, kind of like a stage presence characterizing the depths of what's going on within your words and at times powerful imagery coming from the way you write which is always a great weapon to have as a writer, but i do think you should (if you haven't done it already) record yourself (spoken word poetry) become the navigator of your own words and when recorded listen back, just to see what you hear, i also think you got a Tom Waits style in the way you write.

I like Shadow Boxer reminds me of a wino from years back harmless soul but when drunk sometimes would be seen doing his shadow boxing routine, you got some good twist and turns in your words which reads like there could be an interesting flow there and at the moment i don't see anything needs to be change, so if its okay with you i like to give Shadow Boxer a try and see what i can come up with just acoustic and vocals, if not that's okay, keep writing.

That would be awesome man work away would love to hear that!

Thanks a lot and yes know what you mean a lot of it is more poetic than lyrics but if Mods don't mind i would like to add more stuff to this thread just to see where it goes I'm not taking it seriously just a hobby i like.

Thanks for your feedback and help very much appreciated.

Sorry didn't mean to indicate you move to poetry didn't even know there was a poetry section here, i have your lyrics in front of me and going to see what kind of melody and vocal way i can put to them i think i already found a way for the chorus so hopefully we're half way there, interesting journey ahead for me and these lyrics of yours, thanks and talk soon.

Thats pretty cool thanks.

Nah its all good i know its probably more suited to poetry but I'm not that interested in poetry love music though, Its an amazing thing to hear a song that can capture the worlds attention even briefly.

Thanks again and for your help.

The aftermath hotel


She broke all the furniture
Neatly stacked it in the centre
Just like he did to her
Heartbroken, deconstructed
Just smoke now circles her eyes
Leaving her bloodshot and blind

John, he drove his convertible into a wall
With a pliers pulled his teeth one by one
Shaved his head with a blunt knife
Felt alive and felt alright

Poor Billy left alone since the age of five
Hasn’t spoken since they labelled him dumb
Planning a fiasco with a mind of cement
One day he knows he will be on all the TV shows

And the hotel of the aftermath orchestra play
And the audience dance and demand some more
The strings ache and the trumpets roar
It’s always, always for more, more, more

And she in 504
She hasn’t even begun to get up of the floor
Unwashed and naked in sight
stained underwear the only reminder of the men who remained out of sight
Now far too late to ask why
The floor opened and now she has died, at least inside

Poor old nettle feet
Red and blistered from head to heel
Shared his life for sixty years
She left with just a note
Out the widow and to the left
The bridge that keeps tripping people over

And the hotel of the aftermath orchestra play
And the audience dance and demand some more
The strings ache and the trumpets roar
It’s always, always for more, more, more

And me I’m just a fool on a desk
The phone never rings and the bell never pressed
I’m gonna get out of here one day
But until then I’ll look for more

Purple

still i cling to a jacket that is gone
those eyes, they once searched in empty rooms for you
he touched my arm and it pierced my soul
you found a bed you felt alive in
found arms that felt like like your own

the fumes from the train as it pulled away
you coughed, you cried and you held on tight
to the notion that one day you will unite

now you’re on your balchony
its 6am, the sun is climbing over the banks of the river
it reminds you of a time in a bath both naked and exposed
and ashamed of nothing

he startles and touches your neck with his lips
he is someone new, he is someone ok
but your heart calls out for the boy on a train
and as he pulled away you knew, you just knew

stop tormenting my thoughts
the hold you have on me
is beautiful and you are forever
giving birth to my heart


they come and they go
they never stay, they all see in me that look
i have lost and the search is always for you
i lie awake and listen to the roar of the trains
closing my eyes silently, sadly, gladly as all i see is you

stop tormenting my thoughts
the hold you have on me
is beautiful and you are forever
giving birth to my heart

and now we’re old
and now we bathe
exposed, unashamed and entwined.

Hate


Today i drew blood, hate needles
unless its heroin in its spine
ill bottle you in the face
ill bottle you in your pretty face
but its never me, its never me


alone i face these demons put in place
they crawl around my body
you won't even see their trace
i itch and i scratch
and ill know its wrong
but i know id knife you in the face
just to get to my place

here i sit in my place
people pass and look on in disgrace
i drew blood today and i never feel pain
i never feel anything
that is why ill knee you in the face


lock me up and call me scum
kick me in the head
makes no difference to me
my blanket smells of piss but my life smells of sh*t

I've no anger and no feelings of regret
i live up to expectations that your pretty faces expect
i don't need no bible no big stupid tv
my life is over consumed by a rusty needle

my eyes are yellow, it won't be long now
sleeping in my filth i can't even weep
and people pass by three days after i died
still in disgust and I'm something to hide.

'Time Goes By' - a song I specially wrote about my baby sister who was born in March and how she filled the empty void in my heart which was caused by my nanny's death. It also says that my nanny sent her to us.

Time goes by
Every shot in the dark
Every dream must die
But I
Kept holding on
'Til the break of dawn

I knew you would come, oh baby
I prayed every night that maybe
My dream would come true
And yes it did
My life is full of passion
And the empty void in my heart
Has been filled
All because of you

Time goes by............
But as long as you are by my side
Life will be worth-while
Every morning you will see me with a smile
It'll be all because of you
Yeah it's true.........

You light up my world
I never knew a time
So full of promise
Good luck simply falling
Off the trees
Every day
Gets a little better
I hear you calling

I knew you would come, oh baby
I prayed every night that maybe
My dream would come true
And yes it did
My life is full of passion
And the empty void in my heart
Has been filled
All because of you

Time goes by............
But as long as you are by my side
Life will be worth-while
Every morning you will see me with a smile
It'll be all because of you
Yeah it's true.........

When I was young I used to go
To my room to listen to the radio
In those long gone days of times gone by
The songs that I heard made me laugh or cry
Night after night I lay alone
Caught the words through my headphones
Songs of joy and songs of pain
Songs to make me love again
And now that I am older and settled down
I play the old songs as I drive around
The songs that we used to sing
By the bus stop and in the rain
The times that I spent with you
Will always stay fresh and new
You will always live in me nanny
But time goes by and we need to move on
Thank god they sent another
So now my life will be recovered
Thanks to you....
Thanks to you....
Thanks to you....

Time goes by............
But as long as you are by my side
Life will be worth-while
Every morning you will see me with a smile
It'll be all because of you
Yeah it's true.........
And I wouldn't want it any other way

Never Give Up is my debut single and is on YouTube. My singing is horrible in it, so I am re-recording it with my friend soon who is a much better singer. Here are the lyrics anyways:

I'm pushing against the boundaries of everyday life
Watch me I'll be playing on that stage tonight
Inspiration can be, hard to find
Never give up, never give up

Life is full of mysteries out on the streets
But girl one day you could be just like me
Come rock the night and I'll give you, the key to
Never give up, never give up

All you have to do is never give up
You say, go away, you think it's tough
But all you have to do is never give up
The haters gonna hate, but you can break.... down that wall
If you never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
If you never give up

Now it's finally happened, my head is in a spin
Don't know which way to turn but I, won't give in
I recall a time when I dreamt I'd be here
Never give up, never give up

You know one day you will, fly free
Your spirit will soar high, above the trees
When that day's here, I'll be with you
Never give up, never give up

All you have to do is never give up
You say, go away, you think it's tough
But all you have to do is never give up
The haters gonna hate, but you can break.... down that wall
If you never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
If you never give up

[Instrumental]

All you have to do is never give up
You say, go away, you think it's tough
But all you have to do is never give up
The haters gonna hate, but you can break.... down that wall
If you never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
If you never give up

I’m alone in the trenches

A rat runs over my severed foot,
Mud dried over my eyes,
The silence is a parade of darkness,
Running through my eyes

Chorus
Tell my love she is lucky I have not returned to her
Too many eyes, too many limbs too many souls rising from the ground
To my son who I never saw, I love you anyway
Remember me always as the boy before the man

My love I remember starting out with nothing
Every night cold until we lay together
Your eyes a book I could never finish
Now I lay here in fear and waiting until the heavens are clear

Teach our son about flowers and things that grow
Help him to understand that understanding is everything
The pigs of wars bring us slaves to their graves
Never a thought for all we have left behind

Chorus
Tell my love she is lucky I have not returned to her
Too many eyes, too many limbs too many souls rising from the ground
To my son who I never saw, I love you anyway
Remember me always as the boy before the man

The wetness of your lips I still taste
Standing in shallow pools of rain
You in white and me in black
We cemented our own faith
I carried you over the threshold
You will carry me beyond the gates

Chorus
Tell my love she is lucky I have not returned to her
Too many eyes, too many limbs too many souls rising from the ground
To my son who I never saw, I love you anyway
Remember me always as the boy before the man

Like your first verse get you in there the rest reads fast like maybe rap, good lyrics obviously you have already put music to this would like to hear but if not then you should record really good lyrics, good luck to you.

Only verse 3 {when I was young, I used to go.... etc} is rap until the thanks to you part which goes slower. Yes, I have put Music to it - though it hasn't been recorded because of my bad singing (I can't find a singer) and also I am setting up a recording studio. However, the Music alone without any vocals has been recorded so far! You can check out the Music here:

This is a song I am currently still writing with my friend who will do the Guitar and my other friend who will sing the chorus whilst I rap the verses. Here is the composition of what I have so far - the site plays it for you

https://musescore.com/user/1724211/scores/1210321

Since this thread is "Lyrics": I guess I'll post the lyrics

There was a time when I dreamt
I'd see my guy but it went.. away
Like abandoned love, abandoned love
Oh how my heart wails across the world
All this time I thought I'd be your girl
But no our love was abandoned, abandoned love

All I ever asked for was a life where
Love would last forever, but no I guess I was wrong
Death punched me in the face and it wasn't fair
Just feels like home when you’re hugging my arm
Trusting that I’ll keep you safe from all harm
Look deep in my eyes now and you will see
Your love’s all the love that I need
Sadly, you had to go along
There is a feeling of loss and despair
And I feel like I’m not worthy to breathe this air
We know the depression and superstition are different things
Fall asleep every night thinking of living more days with you
Then I wake up in a bitter mood saying it was all a dream
But I know that you are better off up there
So all I can say is hold on and take care

There was a time when I dreamt
I'd see my guy but it went.. away
Like abandoned love, abandoned love
Oh how my heart wails across the world
All this time I thought I'd be your girl
But no our love was abandoned, abandoned love

Oh woah oh, oh woah oh
Woah oh oh
Oh woah oh, oh woah oh
Woah oh oh
Abandoned love

The day you left me was the day I died
Died on the inside, drowned in my own tears
And suddenly I was alone
No one to hold, no one at all
And I, I realized, I pushed you away
And I will try to, earn your love again
I just want you to return
Send you my prayers, my love
You slipped outta my fingers
I lost hold of my tight grip
I lost you once before, you were the one I adored
And I miss you every day
Don’t care how long you take, please come back to me
But I know that you are better off up there
So all I can say is hold on and take care

Sometimes the heart sees what's invisible to the eye
Home is where the heart is and you make my home
Time after time, I feel as though looking up to the sky
And say, will you ever come back one day?
Just please

There was a time when I dreamt
I'd see my guy but it went.. away
Like abandoned love, abandoned love
Oh how my heart wails across the world
All this time I thought I'd be your girl
But no our love was abandoned, abandoned love

Oh woah oh, oh woah oh
Woah oh oh
Abandoned love
Oh woah oh, oh woah oh
Woah oh oh
Abandoned love

[Verse 1]
When we were young
We walked all night
Through the streets of Madrid
Those days are gone
And you were right
I can't take back what I did

[Chorus]
You held my hand
I kiss your lips
We walked and talked together
But time is sand
We let it slip
Gently through our fingers
We became lovers in the streets of Madrid

Woah-oh oh oh oh I can't take back what I did
Woah-oh oh oh oh in the streets of Madrid

[Verse 2]
Now you are gone
And I am alone
I walk the night apart
I remember sun
And how you'd known
I would break your heart

[Chorus]
You held my hand
I kiss your lips
We walked and talked together
But time is sand
We let it slip
Gently through our fingers
We became lovers in the streets of Madrid

[Verse 3]
Never known so fine a day
All the clouds have blown away
I know why I feel so free
It's because you're here with me
Don't ever go I need you so
In sunshine and in darkness
I know our love will grow

[Chorus]
You held my hand
I kiss your lips
We walked and talked together
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

But time is sand
We let it slip
Gently through our fingers
We became lovers in the streets of Madrid

Woah-oh oh oh oh I can't take back what I did
Woah-oh oh oh oh in the streets of Madrid
Woah-oh oh oh oh I can't take back what I did
Woah-oh oh oh oh in the streets of Madrid

[Outro]
Please stay with me till night
I need to know you love me
Woah-oh oh oh oh I can't take back what I did
Your face in the sun's dying light
Is the sight I want to see
Woah-oh oh oh oh in the streets of Madrid

Okay i listen to your music but i have to ask did you put that music together, if you did really good but if you didn't no worries still really good, okay when you find a singer you're seriously going to have to give that person the freedom to put his or her style to everything and i mean everything lyrics music atmosphere and can you explain to me why you cant find a singer, thanks.

I did put the music together - composed it because I keep posting on social sites to find a singer and they take the piss out of me saying they're a singer when they're not and thus want to make my Music look stupid and annoying.

One thing for sure you definitely have talent, post on other songwriters sites and get to know other members you will find there are many from Ireland, one site is reverbnation and when you sign up giving your local area you will see many from Ireland there.

Dont bother with those social sites just stick with the sites where you'll find talent like yourself, keep writing and keep making beautiful music and the main thing is, enjoy.

How's this piece by me?

https://musescore.com/user/1724211/scores/845856

You shy away, when I come close
Too afraid, of affection
Let me in, so I can see
The damage done, I’ll set you free

And I don’t know how someone could do this to you
It hurts me just to see you cry on the ground
I know that I can love you and help you through
Just open, just open your heart
Just feel it, feel it in your heart

Cause from the start I have loved you
Always loved you baby
But you were taken and he broke you
Always loved you baby
Now I have a chance, to get you now
Just take a chance, and let me show you how
To love again
To love again

You're too afraid, that I might hurt you
But I’m nothing, like him oh no
Just gimme a chance, to take a look
Give me a moment, let me in

And when I look into your face I see beauty
And I don’t understand how he could’ve broken you
I know that I can love you and help you through
Just open, just open your heart
Just feel it, feel it in your heart

Cause from the start I have loved you
Always loved you baby
But you were taken and he broke you
Always loved you baby
Now I have a chance, to get you now
Just take a chance, and let me show you how
To love again
To love again

I feel you opening up
It just took a little luck
I feel you coming closer
Running away from his poster
What he did to you was bad
But I am here and you are glad
Cause I can hold you
Oh I can hold you

Cause from the start I have loved you
Always loved you baby
But you were taken and he broke you
Always loved you baby
Now I have a chance, to get you now
Just take a chance, and let me show you how
To love again
To love again
To love again
To love again

Just open, just open your heart
Just feel it, feel it in your heart
To love again

Leanbh - a love song wrote today by me in Irish

Leanbh,
Tá grá agam duit
Bíonn tú an grá mo shaol
An chuisle mo chroí
Tá tú go hálainn
Táim i ngrá leat leanbh
An bpósfaidh tú mé?

Tá tú anamchara
Más é do thoil é
A fhanacht go deo liom
Tá póg agam duit
Maireann lá go ruaig ach
Maireann an grá go huaigh

Leanbh,
Capall an tsaoil an grá
Níl leigheas ar an ngrá ach pósadh
Mar sin, an bpósfaidh tú mé?
An té nach bpósann níl ach uaigneas dilte dósan
Mar sin, an bpósfaidh tú mé?
Mas é do thoil é!

Ní féasta go rósta, ní céasadh go pósta
Tabhair póg dom, leanbh
M'fhíorghrá
Tá tú iontach álainn
Mo stór, mo thaisce
An bpósfaidh tú mé?

Is leighis is fearr do ghrá pósadh
Tá tú an-dhathúil dom
Glaoigh ar na gardaí!
Maireann grá go deo
Agus tá tú mo ghrá

Leanbh,
Tá grá agam duit
Bíonn tú an grá mo shaol
An chuisle mo chroí
Tá tú go hálainn
Táim i ngrá leat leanbh
An bpósfaidh tú mé?

'Afraid'

Walking by the street, walking by, dancing to the beat
Worrying about my girl, hope she's alright, please stay with me
Worrying about my girl, hope she's alright, please stay with me
Every day in every way, the feeling's getting deeper
Every day in every way, I know that I can keep her
Because she is mine forever

Come on don't be afraid to live out the life with me
Me and you dancing every night in the clubs living free
You told me you were coming, I couldn't wait
I've gotta get more loving, before it's too late
Now don't be afraid to live out the life with me
Me and you dancing every night in the clubs living free
You told me you were coming, I couldn't wait
I've gotta get more loving, before it's too late

The day I met you, I knew you were lovely
I was right, I held you close to me
Through all the night, I know it was gonna be
Through all the night, I know it was gonna be
Me and you in our penthouse suite

Come on don't be afraid to live out the life with me
Me and you dancing every night in the clubs living free
You told me you were coming, I couldn't wait
I've gotta get more loving, before it's too late
Now don't be afraid to live out the life with me
Me and you dancing every night in the clubs living free
You told me you were coming, I couldn't wait
I've gotta get more loving, before it's too late

There is no need to be afraid
Come on there is no need to be afraid
Come on there is no need to be afraid

Come on don't be afraid to live out the life with me
Me and you dancing every night in the clubs living free
You told me you were coming, I couldn't wait
I've gotta get more loving, before it's too late
Now don't be afraid to live out the life with me
Me and you dancing every night in the clubs living free
You told me you were coming, I couldn't wait
I've gotta get more loving, before it's too late

Now don't be afraid to live out the life with me
Me and you dancing every night in the clubs living free
You told me you were coming, I couldn't wait
I've gotta get more loving, before it's too late

'Torch'

[Verse 1]
Girl with the light on those eyes
You make me wanna burn up
With all the lies you've been telling me
I'm about to blow up
But every night, it gets stranger
Cause every fright, it gets bitter

[Chorus]
Let the torch in your eyes count the stars
Let it show you that you're the Queen of Mars
Let the torch in your eyes light the world
Cause every day is full of darkness without you girl
Yeah let the torch in your eyes
Let the torch in your eyes count the stars

[Beat Break]

[Verse 2]
Girl you make Mercury
Wanna become hotter
Every night I look at Jupiter
I always think of my fireball
But every night, it gets stranger
Cause every fright, it gets bitter

[Chorus]
Let the torch in your eyes count the stars
Let it show you that you're the Queen of Mars
Let the torch in your eyes light the world
Cause every day is full of darkness without you girl
Yeah let the torch in your eyes
Let the torch in your eyes count the stars

[Beat Break]

Let the torch in your eyes count the stars
Neptune hold on, Venus here we come
Let the torch in your eyes count the stars
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Let the torch in your eyes count the stars
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Let the torch in your eyes count the stars

'Your Final Hour'

Your ancestors look down on you
Like guests at your wedding feast
Wonder why you got wed
Know you'll never get no peace
And you walk about
Like a queen without a throne
All I want to do is shout
Cos you're all alone

Your final hour has come
But it doesn't mean you're done
You'll live long up there
Up away from my hair
But I'll always treasure you right here

Spirits look down on you
Like ghosts from your dreams
Stars from your nightmares
Witnesses to your screams
So why did you do it
Why did you go get wed
I'm the one who loves you
I feel like the living dead

Your final hour has come
But it doesn't mean you're done
You'll live long up there
Up away from my hair
But I'll always treasure you right here

And you walk about
Like a queen without a throne
All I want to do is shout
Cos you're all alone
Cos you're all alone
Cos you're all alone

Your final hour has come

Your final hour has come
But it doesn't mean you're done
You'll live long up there
Up away from my hair
But I'll always treasure you right here

'The Homework Song'

Woke up in the morning, weary to start the day
Get my uniform on, and I am on my way
Don't have time for a snack, don't have time to go back
So many books to carry, oh crap now I'm in a hurry
I have to get there by 9, oh **** I was late
Just to make matters worse, the teachers give us

Homework, oh homework
So harsh it should be a crime
Homework, oh homework
I guess that it's a sign

A sign of what?, a sign of what's to come
Irritating students keep on talking
Get that smirk off of your faces, and start listening
Passing dull moments, waiting for the bell
Feeling like OMG is this hell?
Just to make matters worse, the teachers give us

Homework, oh homework
Look before you leap teach
Homework, oh homework
Right now I feel like falling asleep

Why are we stuck in here on such a nice day?
Could be going out and shine say why is my world so grey?
Going home, playing out with the lads
That's better than working on your worthless crap
That's better than listening to you snap
Believe it or not, you made it worse by giving us

Homework, oh homework
More worthless than Irish
Homework, oh homework
More worthless than any language

'One Another'

Crying buckets, love disappears
Trying to, wipe away the tears
And now, the shadows are haunting
So loud, my heart is screaming
Tonight, I need to let it go

My past, keeps coming back around
No way, to hold it down
And now, I’m starting to fade
Because, it might be too late

I can bounce back up once I’ve had enough of this
Baby I know we are stronger and now we can last longer
And I know, we can rise together
We can be, supporting each other
In the night, in the day, whenever you wanna
In the light, in the dark, whenever we gotta
We can do it, support each other
One another

Soul crying, hearts dying
Trying to revive myself
And now, I’m starting to miss you
Right now, I’ll be coming back for you
Tonight, I won’t leave you alone

I can bounce back up once I’ve had enough of this
Baby I know we are stronger and now we can last longer
And I know, we can rise together
We can be, supporting each other
In the night, in the day, whenever you wanna
In the light, in the dark, whenever we gotta
We can do it, support each other
One another

That’s it, we fight it, revive it
That’s it, we can love it, or hate it
Treatment might take a long time
Who cares if it pays off in a while
As long as we get time
To heal, to feel, to see
As long as we get time,
To support, one another

I can bounce back up once I’ve had enough of this
Baby I know we are stronger and now we can last longer
And I know, we can rise together
We can be, supporting each other
In the night, in the day, whenever you wanna
In the light, in the dark, whenever we gotta
We can do it, support each other
One another

'All A Dream'

When this was all a dream, all a dream, all a dream
I swam out in the sea, in the sea, in the sea
And said it would come true, come true, come true
Feel so happy when I'm around with you

When this was all a dream
(All a dream, all a dream, all a dream, dream, dream)

Watch you from a long way
Never knew what I'd say
Didn't even know my name
Now you're here beside me
For all the world to see
I can never be the same

Now I know you love me
Never gonna get free
I smile when I hear your voice

When this was all a dream, all a dream, all a dream
I swam out in the sea, in the sea, in the sea
And said it would come true, come true, come true
Feel so happy when I'm around with you

When this was all a dream
(All a dream, all a dream, all a dream, dream, dream)

And when at last you've come
To show me how it's done
I'll greet you
With a heart so strong

And if I never leave you
It's because I love you
Guess I never had a choice

When this was all a dream, all a dream, all a dream
I swam out in the sea, in the sea, in the sea
And said it would come true, come true, come true
Feel so happy when I'm around with you

When this was all a dream
(All a dream, all a dream, all a dream, dream, dream)

Now I know you love me
Never gonna get free
I smile when I hear your voice
When this was all a dream

And if I never leave you
It's because I love you
Guess I never had a choice
When this was all a dream

When this was all a dream, all a dream, all a dream
I swam out in the sea, in the sea, in the sea
And said it would come true, come true, come true
Feel so happy when I'm around with you

When this was all a dream

This is continuing the story that was set in my song 'Madrid'.

'Madrid Part II'

This Summer I took the path
Back to where it all began
Oh how it was such an aftermath
I thought we had a good plan

Now I walk along the city
Sun is hazing down on me
Times have flown by
Tears drip glazing at the cloudless sky

Now I live on in Madrid
Thinking back to the days
When I shouldn't have done what I did
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
I should have realized back then
We had something no one would ever have
I walk down the streets of Madrid
Moments flooded with sadness
Dreaming about a perfect life which I should have
But no, I just had to go and do what I did

Just like the timeless wind
Blowing through the tree
My heart's the softest drum
Whispering on the breeze

I gaze into the void
Wondering why my thoughts seem loud
Drowning out the silence
Of the ever growing crowd

Now I live on in Madrid
Thinking back to the days
When I shouldn't have done what I did
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
I should have realized back then
We had something no one would ever have
I walk down the streets of Madrid
Moments flooded with sadness
Dreaming about a perfect life which I should have
But no, I just had to go and do what I did

It's getting harder and harder
To find a good reason to smile
Don't know if I'm strong enough
To face the world alone
Don't know how I'd cope
Without the place that I call home

Now I live on in Madrid
Thinking back to the days
When I shouldn't have done what I did
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry.....

Now I live on in Madrid
Thinking back to the days
When I shouldn't have done what I did
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
I should have realized back then
We had something no one would ever have
I walk down the streets of Madrid
Moments flooded with sadness
Dreaming about a perfect life which I should have
But no, I just had to go and do what I did

'Regrets'

[Verse 1]
Now I'm a start this track off assuming
That everyone to this song is a human
And if you're a human then I know you've done some bad stuff
Some you've really hated cause it made your life so rough
You lose friends your love ends
The thoughts are driving you round the bend
Now I can say I know what might make your life stink
It's cause you my friend act before you think

[Chorus]
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
So don't go act fast, make sure you use your mind
And then your head won't be filled with thoughts like mine
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
So don't go act fast, make sure you use your mind
And then your head won't be filled with thoughts like mine

[Verse 2]
Now I'm gonna start off the list with regret that is supreme
And when I say that's what I mean is cause it's about chasing a dream
Now you're probably thinkin' what the hell's wrong with dreamin'
And I'm telling you nothin'
It's only if you're too late realisin'
What you really should be chasin'
See when I was younger all I dreamed about was sports suits and space suits
When I should've known that it wasn't me that dream suits
I should have had a page in my dream, where I'm on a stage or a silver screen

[Chorus]
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
Don't ever stop chasing dreams until you see them through
Just make sure that the dream is really for you
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
Don't ever stop chasing dreams until you see them through
Just make sure that the dream is really for you

[Verse 3]
The next one's about a friend when he was done with me
Or rather it was between me and his family
I was just a little kid maybe seven or eight
Back when my temper and responses weren't great
We were all having fun at this guy's birthday
When I was having fun in a supposed bad way
His mother pulled me to the side
And told me to calm down and take care
This action back then would make frown and my temper flare
Now if anybody knows me, especially personally
You'd know back then I was known to act violently
And this moment went by too fast as I lifted my leg high
And kicked in the hip, right above her left thigh
It didn't take a while to realise that was wrong
But it didn't matter I had taken too long
We weren't friends anymore as he was showing me the door
And so I got walking and ever since then me and him haven't been the best talking

[Chorus]
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
Friends are precious so don't you ever let em go
And if you gotta temper try not to let it show
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
Friends are precious so don't you ever let em go
And if you gotta temper try not to let it show

[Verse 4]
Now the last one I'm a leave you with is the biggest
And I find it that way cause it's effected me the longest
See you may not know this but I used to be quite fit
And I know a lot of you won't believe a word of it
But every day I used to do ten laps runnin' round the neighbourhood
But now I think running round to the shop is good
I know one thing on which to place the blame
That's the addiction I developed to my video games
I was going out everyday doing sports, dancing and everything
Then I was only concerned about the console goin' 'ping ping'

[Chorus]
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
I know games can be good to help with any stress you go through
But too much of anything can be very bad for you
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
I know games can be good to help with any stress you go through
But too much of anything can be very bad for you

[Outro]
Before I let you go, one final piece of advice
Don't let what happened in your past screw up your whole life
You can't change the past don't you know it's long gone
So stand up, brush it off and just move on
So go forth in your life, live with no regrets
But I'm not saying you should be reckless
Don't think about what's tomorrow or what came and went
Cause your greatest gift is right now, that's why we call it the p

'The Sounds of Serenity'

Why did this have to happen?
I guess we'll never know
Suddenly, you came to me snapping
But if you're gonna be like that
I'm afraid it's time for you to go

This is not the real you
I want you to think this through
And don't come back 'til you do

Don't you recall a time when
You were quiet but you were my friend
Now I guess you have changed then
So goodbye friend, you have got to leave
Get back in your den

I can hear the sounds of serenity
Now they have returned all around me
Come out when you're ready
And dance with me to the sounds of serenity

You say you don't trust them
But why should I trust you then?
Please don't start this all over again

You're just being an ass now
You manipulated me but I don't know how
Come clean to me and admit you were wrong

Don't you recall a time when
You were quiet but you were my friend
Now I guess you have changed then
So goodbye friend, you have got to leave
Get back in your den

I can hear the sounds of serenity
Now they have returned all around me
Come out when you're ready
And dance with me to the sounds of serenity

Sounds of serenity
Sounds of serenity

Sounds of serenity
Sounds of serenity

Don't you recall a time when
You were quiet but you were my friend
Now I guess you have changed then
So goodbye friend, you have got to leave
Get back in your den

I can hear the sounds of serenity
Now they have returned all around me
Come out when you're ready
And dance with me to the sounds of serenity

Yellow pack crisps

Crushed

I was crushed by the weight of your words
Dispelled any worth that was left
She cycled a bike along a green with one daffodil in her ear
Parked her bike opposite a bridge
She walked along slowly humming his song
The sand rising and covering her face


In our house we sat opposite turf burning
Stroking your hair as if it was yesterday
You were humming his song when absent minded
I pulled and you pulled away
A bird withdrew from preying eyes
I caught a glimpse of his eyes
You moaned and turned away
I barely lifted my head in sixteen days


At a mirror and a sad reflection
Seeing myself in such pain
Imaginary blood runs out from cold body
Your reflection always in the corner
I am slave and when you call I consider
But always as I walk out the door into your cold arms once more

His eyes they flickered like mine could never be
You lay naked without soul in my arms as they grew heavy
I bought you the world and you set it alight
A cold burning flame and smoke that suffocates
I lie awake broken like a light bulb in the dead of night

You don’t want too see me once more
He is home and you his faithful slave
He holds you in his cold arms
Deceit and lies and you swallow him whole
You lie awake broken like a light bulb in the dead of night.

Yellow pack crisps

The hairdresser

Everything is so sterile in here
You wake up early to look your best
Its dark out and its summer time
Yawn and crack open the paint
Once done its time to dress
The cheapest clothes but ones that hug so well
They all say you have a heart of gold
So what, what really do they know?


Plasters on your heels from shoes bought with money you don’t have
you stand ten hours a day and never receive what’s yours
one day the cracks will appear and all you will do is laugh away
but then again what else is there to do?

They come to you and you sit well with fag in opened mouth
Around a table they all shout, its only fun and its only a laugh
But come night its all alone and all alone
The dread, the thoughts and that night

You stabbed him in the head over and over again
The irony being that now you are on top of him
The stale stench of death has never smelled so fresh
Everlasting peace and you can't help but peak
His decaying body showing how weak he really was
You always said to him you would have the last laugh
And now you lie here laughing

That time he brought you to the river
A time for once with no violence
He produced perfume and chocolates
A smell that lingers on, a cabin with basic needs
A bed, some books and peace
A final resting place you think for a man who murdered your soul.

Yellow pack crisps

Words

Don’t beat them up those words in your head
Enlist them in subscription and let them free to roam
Sitting in a vault that is a library till blindness do you apart
They come alive those people from figments of someone else’s mind


She stopped you in your tracks as you stood hovering over an edge
Pushed you in a direction you always had declined
She wore a suit and tie with gold trimmed silhouette shoes
Bounced around inside and made you come alive
Spoke about Marx and hummed about Joyce
Sticking a key inside you that unlocked a kind of joy


You’re a cloud she would say floating all around
She looked up and there you were always by her side
She liked intensity in all that she did
When she was up upon a ledge taking life by the hair
She would scream and tears of laughter running down her face

And now your words are falling, deep inside a sound
She left but not on purpose but because she had to
In the morning when birds interrupt your dreams
You awake and a picture placed playfully by your bed
Closing eyes and you see her flying around your eyes
She never left you and is always by your side

Lost love has never felt so good
Her dress the favourite one so vivid before your eyes
She drove your car and her scent still very much alive
Lost love you will say to students in front of where you guise
Is like a fleeting smack right between your eyes
In shock and full of stars and nothing like it makes you feel this alive


Now it’s a strange time to be, now here amongst strangers
They don’t you and you don’t know them
But somewhere in between she lives, she cries, she exists.

'Harder'

So I was ambling along the riverbank
Anticipating I would get that top rank
But I guess I did not see it coming
I really should have expected nothing

You may think it's all monotonous as a child
But know that will likely be the last time you smile

'Cause it gets harder and harder and harder
Yeah it gets harder and harder and harder
And harder and harder and harder
And harder as an adult

Ever since then, life has been depressing
Nostalgia killing me needing a blessing
I hope you do not take the path I took
Go live out your life and have another look

'Cause you may think it's all monotonous as a child
But know that will likely be the last time you smile

'Cause it gets harder and harder and harder
Yeah it gets harder and harder and harder
And harder and harder and harder
And harder as an adult

'Cause it gets harder and harder and harder
Yeah it gets harder and harder and harder
And harder and harder and harder
And harder as an adult

Harder, harder, harder
Harder, harder, harder
Harder, harder, harder
Harder, harder

'Cause it gets harder and harder and harder
Yeah it gets harder and harder and harder
And harder and harder and harder
And harder as an adult

'Cause it gets harder and harder and harder
Yeah it gets harder and harder and harder
And harder and harder and harder
And harder as an adult

'Don't Give Me That Tone'

Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
Or I will not do what I'm told
Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
I don't wanna hear you moan all day long

I’ve wasted too much time
On mindless and berating trash
That numbs the brain and sets me up
For failure’s painful crash
But now I'm pushing back this very day
I'm pushing forward and hear me say

Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
Or I will not do what I'm told
Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
I don't wanna hear you moan all day long

[Beat break]

Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
Or I will not do what I'm told
Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
I don't wanna hear you moan all day long

No more times are wasting
I got tired of chasing you
All around every day of the month
Come back to me when you're done
Acting like that
Now I'm pushing back this very day, day
I'm pushing forward and hear me say

Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
Or I will not do what I'm told
Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
I don't wanna hear you moan all day long

[Beat break]

Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
Or I will not do what I'm told
Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
I don't wanna hear you moan all day long

Down dark laneways

Imagine your veins like train tracks alive
Carrying you to places and what a ride
Its like being on holidays everything is carefree
But comes a price down dark laneways


Feeling normal, feeling unique, feeling……
The numbness fading and love has arrived
The gentle arms wrap so tightly around you
Alone, not now, not till later but as always that will arrive


Down dark laneways is the price of saneness
Just another stacked up against dirty walls
Sweet Jesus and all that is divine
Please don’t look down please let me not look up
This is the price for the pain to be set free

You look at me with uncharitable eyes
You cant imagine such squalor and distress
But before your eyes lives and beats a life set free
Set me free and walk on by
I’m stagnating but you and your life lay half dead
You don’t have dark laneways to pave your way


The road I have took is torn and broken
Sharp petals of flowers cut and bleed my fabric, my breath
My lungs will one day grow heavy and distant
But in darkened laneways always redemption.

Yellow pack crisps

Cold

The gates had purple flowers pressed against its cold iron
I said meet me there at ten so you arrived at midday
Hunger and pain, pain and hunger
At least it feels real, at least it feels like something
You brought me to what lay
Knelt down and I bowed my head
You laughed that laugh of a thousand cries
Joseph you said where are you now?


Along castle avenue road, along stone walls with moss so strong
Your nails are dark with dirt and what’s more you don’t feel ashamed
You had a backpack with all your possessions’ packed within a small book
Written words, written words, driving you crazy, making you cling to darkness
We had a name for each others soul, lunar and darkness took a stroll

Stop and lie down on damp grass and feel earth and absorb its smell
Let the rain wash like another new rebirth
When I die I want regret. What I regret I want to die
An arrow struck me between the eyes but that just made me stronger


A stone left unturned you said is like the most beautiful painting that eventually hangs
People say: How? Such a shame, trample over, trample over, they trample over
The priest he will never understand loss and here they sing, here they sing
Its dead this yard and its in bloom, they will never understand that’s just the thing.

Yellow pack crisps

The lights at the end of the tunnel


The weight of your body used full force
One day you knew one of us would hit back
Split in the toe cap where history spilled out
Now you’re there in the middle of the bog


On our knees we pray to god,
On our knees we pray to god
On our knees we obey god

On the mountains we would run
Wild and free like rabbits and discarded as such
Run, run, run, hide, hide, hide
Now an adult and that feeling has stayed
No brothers in arms to protect us now



On our knees, we pray, obey, pray


Damien was always small
Always got caught and always led away
I heard his cries in my darkest nights
He is still alive that is till I open my eyes
Was found twenty years later in shallow graves, all five

On our knees we pray to god,
On our knees we pray to god
On our knees we obey god

We was in a bar so dark and seedy
Drinking beer and laughing freely
In walks a darkened figure
Sat right down and never looked up
A cold breeze gathered us close
That fear amongst us once more


On our knees, we pray, obey, pray

In the dirt we dragged you
Small sounds of being repentant from your mouth
Drove to darkened woods
Tonight in nature that darkness would end
Our steel toe caps in unison
Making the sounds of music
The end verse is near as you whimper and fade
A strange light appears in this dark night
A veil covering the mountains on the foot as we look up
Your last breath and steam rise for the very last time



On our knees we pray to god,
On our knees we pray to god
On our knees we obey god

Its been five years since that night
I sit here with no remorse at all
The TV says they have found a lost soul
Buried within five shallow graves
Suspects are being sought
They are out in force
You might see them and the lights
At the end of darkened tunnels

On our knees, we pray, obey, pray
On our knees, we pray, obey, pray
On our knees, we pray, obey, pray

Yellow pack crisps

Walking towards happiness

Since we’re born its all about that road
No detours its all ahead
But madness and genetic fault
They hold you back, they hold you hostage
Smashing mirrors so no more reflection
No more others and no more rejection


Walking towards the sun
Its where happiness resides
Its burning me up inside
Killing me slowly outside



Since we was young its all found in books
Page after page, self inflicted guilt
I wont, I didn’t or I couldn’t see
Its lost, memories fade and dreams laid to rest
And happiness is ugliness never truly defined
one cold Decembers day I prayed I found a bird
It flew away and fell away and now the road is long



Walking towards the sun
Its where happiness resides
Its burning me up inside
Killing me slowly outside


Victoria upon a throne inherited and never sought
A broken smile and a promise in flames
We all burn looking for the thing we love
Only in old age and close to death do we see
What passed us by. Don’t say goodbye
Its not tomorrow but now

That candle on our ledge and you left the window ajar
A wind or spirit or both gives us the kiss of bereft
How I held you close till you vanished before my eyes
It wasn’t always ugly just as it always wasn’t happy

Walking towards the sun
Its where happiness resides
Its burning me up inside
Killing me slowly outside

'Dear Mother'

Mother,
I shoulda known back then
Our friendship was something exceptional
Me acting like a jerk wasn't unusual
But a person like you is rare to find
I was blind like a curtain was over my eyes
Whenever my world is upside down
You come like my lifeguard when I'm about to drown
I thought it was all washed up
Between us two when I belt it out
I thought I'd never see you smile
I felt that you have had enough
You go on and leave it in the past without a doubt
Have I ever mentioned you got good style?

Dear mother,
Ever since you gave me birth
You raised me and I knew I had my trust in you
In my daydreams I dream of me being lost in a world without you
And I can tell ya, oh what would I do?
I'm gonna regret my mistakes for the rest of my life
But hope ya can forgive me for as I tried
To be the one you hope to bring into this world
You say the word and I'll promise ya
I'll become that one

I'm telling ya now
I wasn't trynna be a stab in the back
Neither am I trynna give you a heart attack
If any of that happened, I would fall back into the water
'Cause I was a big bother on you
I'd say you're better off without me here
But I swear, I don't mean to hurt you

Dear mother,
Ever since you gave me birth
You raised me and I knew I had my trust in you
In my daydreams I dream of me being lost in a world without you
And I can tell ya, oh what would I do?
I'm gonna regret my mistakes for the rest of my life
But hope ya can forgive me for as I tried
To be the one you hope to bring into this world
You say the word and I'll promise ya
I'll become that one

Mouth to mouth, chest to chest
North or south, you're the best
Won't see no day, no sun in the sky
Won't hear you say, I'm yours till I die
I didn't understand, how could I see
The way that things turned out to be
People just carry on don't they know
That you are gone why can no-one see
Life just can't go on from the day that you left me

Dear mother,
Ever since you gave me birth
You raised me and I knew I had my trust in you
In my daydreams I dream of me being lost in a world without you
And I can tell ya, oh what would I do?
I'm gonna regret my mistakes for the rest of my life
But hope ya can forgive me for as I tried
To be the one you hope to bring into this world
You say the word and I'll promise ya
I'll become that one

'Living Star'

Too many heartaches
Too many bad breaks
Too many tears
Too many fears to live it now
And it ends

Can't seem to fake it
Can't keep achin' it
Can't seem to see
I need to be set free
But I'm laying on my knees

And I'm goin' nowhere
I'm goin' nowhere now
Now

There I go out far
And I become a living star
I had a notion
I would be over the ocean
Living my dreams out that door
And we'll rise high
Rise high

But I'm gone tomorrow
Goodbye to sorrow
I'm gone long way
I'm going away
And it ends

You told me that you need a man
Always strong and never weak
A man with the power
To give you what you seek
I told you I was the one
I'd never let you fall
I showed you what a man can do

There I go out far
And I become a living star
I had a notion
I would be over the ocean
Living my dreams out that door

And I become a living star
Out to the sea it flows so strong
Like it flowed for ages long
But the emotion that appears
Shows us that we can all be a living star

A star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star
You can say that again
A star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star
You can say that again
A star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star
You can say that again
A star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star

There I go out far
And I become a living star
I had a notion
I would be over the ocean
Living my dreams out that door
And I become a living star

Out to the sea it flows so strong
Like it flowed for ages long
But the emotion that appears
Shows us that we can all be a living star

Out to the sea it flows so strong
Like it flowed for ages long
But the emotion that appears
Shows us that we can all be a living star

'Glories'

I stayed so quiet, I listened to stories
Where were the glories
The boy that I heard of just couldn't be rue
Where were the glories

Couldn't break free
You never did love me
You never did care
You always deceived me

Oh
It just wasn't fair
Oh
The tears and the heartache
Oh
Are just called away

I stayed so quiet, I listened to stories
Where were the glories
The boy that I heard of just couldn't be rue
Where were the glories

Heartbreak
I couldn't take it
One more day
I wouldn't live it

Oh
It just wasn't fair
Oh
The tears and the heartache
Oh
Are just called away

I stayed so quiet, I listened to stories
Where were the glories
The boy that I heard of just couldn't be rue
Where were the glories

Well I'm gonna tell you
Show you how it is
If you ain't gonna be true
You'll get the Judas kiss
Time's just like gold
You've gotta know
I'm getting old
Need a girl before I go
But you, you're just a toad

Oh
It just wasn't fair
Oh
The tears and the heartache
Oh
Are just called away

I stayed so quiet, I listened to stories
Where were the glories
The boy that I heard of just couldn't be rue
Where were the glories

I stayed so quiet, I listened to stories
Where were the glories
The boy that I heard of just couldn't be rue
Where were the glories
