One Oh Six
We'll let you know,
how people up here feel,
almost in their bones,
that jilted smile's a strain,
smothered in this territory,
they'll see it anyway,
take your time right now,
those night's without a key,
the river always flows,
why not meet the rain,
peer in mountain streams,
don't have to catch a train,
nothing to bestow,
like those other crazy schemes,
life's no picture show,
you’re a long time away,
to live within a dream,
now face each coming day,
you don't have to borrow,
to see how you've been,
stay and warm your toes,
nothing's how it seems.

One Oh five
You scatter my beliefs,
like ashes from a car,
say it brings serenity,
blowout all my pay,
what is going on,
it's a terrible waste,
clinging to the sea,
like someone in a bottle,
will others set you free,
it's a different age,
think i'm pretty smart,
but still hesitate,
it doesn't fill my need,
this warm hazy fog,
a path from childhood dreams,
dancing on the waves,
all the stuff you're not,
lands among the wreckage,
cigarettes aren't good for me,
they just leave a scar,
holy water in my drink,
did you know my Ma ?
One Oh Four
When bells ring out the night,
she will make her mark,
like a song beseeches why,
the land’s within sight,
a warm embrace by dark,
give me your sweet sign,
dusk falls in green light,
our lives leap near Trinity Bar,
say you won’t be split,
when Americans fight,
hold lovers in their cars,
on mountain bykes,
a dancer whose fame decides,
is the prize too far,
on many a famous night,
like a scene of pure delight,
a smoky voice in estuary tar,
gleams like a searchlight,
she never leaves a family’s side,
but sings like a Lark,
a woman who knows her rights,
she's the lucky star.

One Oh Three
Your smile tells me prance,
but I fear being caught,
by smart tongued chit chat,
make all the bean counters,
show you around the course,
smoke and look around,
others have fancied,
watch me sing myself hoarse,
that you might balance,
where dancers have danced,
you make me worse,
with your faded flowers,
hold my hand and ask,
is this what we're taught,
sipping vodka from a flask,
forget the past,
you know about horses,
how to turn them out,
won't you take a chance,
forget these losers,
come with me to France,
there's lovely clear water.

One Oh Two
When you see a fading star,
does it make you uneasy,
know they're not that far,
but If its children and dogs,
just stay as you please,
in a warm hazy fog,
send my ship to Mars,
on the sea of Tranquility,
if you get that far,
or not what you want,
forget the Ferrari,
and all the stuff you don't,
put water in my font,
all your fires increased,
what the hell's going on,
I'm someone from afar,
on a bended knee,
feel like Ziggy Stardust,
singing in a boxcar,
that scatters all my needs,
blown ashes on the bar,
you don't do serenity.

One Oh One
I'll live or die in here,
wine isn't cheap,
but it takes away fear,
before any whispered sigh,
or hugs from a boulevardier,
it brings me to this night,
there's no drama lonely pier,
when a wrong's put right,
on a road with inner peace,
regular as the time,
darkness hides my gear,
a knife is its own birthright,
I've fallen in too deep,
to remember previous years,
what lies beside the heap,
it makes these bricks alive,
what I bought so dear,
often ask my self why,
when the moon seeps,
between stars white and clear,
I only hear someone creep,
and wipe away the tears.

One Hundred
Now you've left home,
they say it's your time,
where has time gone,
you used to believe,
it would all be fine,
better that you leave,
tears lachrymose,
are now not so kind,
far down the road,
jokes your repartee,
a way to unwind,
now float down the street,
wake up to what's done,
settle for peace of mind,
you carry the stones,
rain starts to ease,
there's light in the sky,
it's over the sea,
fix a drink with Coke,
it's better than wine,
put it in your coat,
it hasn't gone Nine.
