THIS WILL BE OUR YEAR
[As featured on AIB Mortgages Advert]
The warmth of your love
Is like the warmth of the sun
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come
​
Don't let go of my hand
Now darkness has gone
This will be our year
It took a long time to come
​
The warmth of your smile
Smile for me little one
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come
​
You don't have to worry
All your worried days are gone
And this will be our year
It took a long time to come
​
And I won't forget the way you helped me up when I was down
And I won't forget the way you said
Darling I love you
You gave me faith to go on
​
Now that we're there and we've only just begun
This will be our year
It took a long time to come
​
Now that we're there and we've only just begun
This will be our year
It took a long time to come

UNCHAIN MY HEART
Unchain my heart
Baby let me be
Unchain my heart
'Cos you don't care about me
​
You've got me sewed up like a pillow case
But you let my love go to waste
So unchain my heart
Please set me free
​
Unchain my heart
Baby let me go
Unchain my heart
'Cos you don't love me no more
​
Every time I call you on the phone
Somebody tells me that you're not at home
So unchain my heart
Please set me free
​
I'm under your spell
Like I'm in a trance
But I know darn well
That I don't stand a chance
​
So unchain my heart
Let me go my way
Unchain my heart
You worry me night and day
​
Why lead me through a life of misery
When you don't care a bag of beans for me
So unchain my heart
Please set me free
​
Won't you set me free
Please set me free
Won't you set me free
​
I WILL NOT HURT YOU
You've had it hard, with the deepest of scars
They broke you, tried to tear you apart.
You amaze me, how you still can find the light
You amaze me, I want to help you through the night
So please, let yourself trust me
'Cos I, I know it's hard for you to see
But please, let yourself trust me
'Cos I, I will not hurt you
'Cos I, I will not hurt you
You're safe
You're safe
You're safe
'Cos I love You
And that's never going to change
You've lived through things, that no one should do
It made you feel like there shouldn't be a you
But that's crazy, 'Cos you're everything that's right
You amaze me, I'm here to help you through the night
So please, let yourself trust me
'Cos I, I know it's hard for you to see
But please, let yourself trust me
'Cos I, I will not hurt you
'Cos I, I will not hurt you
You're safe
You're safe
You're safe
'Cos I love You
And that's never going to change

TWO PLAYER GAMES
I was feeling all alone and I needed a friend
I was living on my own without an ear to lend
But then you came along and washed the blues away
​
'Cause I got you and you got me
There's nothing left in this world stopping me
​
I was needing someone to help me fair the rain
You were needing someone to play two player games
We needed someone to help to pass the days
​
Now I got you and you got me
There's nothing left in this world we won't beat
​
We can make the most of offers on buy one get one free
We can get a tub of ice cream
When the world is on its knees
We can sit and talk for hours
When there's nothing on TV
​
'Cause I got you and you got me
There's nothing left in this world stopping me
​
Now I got you and you got me
there's nothing left in this world we won't beat
​
'Cause I got you and you got me
There's nothing left in this world stopping me

ROLLING OUT THE FIRE
I'm picking up papers
And it's looking like we're failing
The sky has started falling
And the blood runs through our hallways
I'm looking at faces
Of people pushing pages
Of promises and fables
And I'm wondering what is stable
​
I wade through the mire
Of my desperate desire
To guide it from turning
As I witness it burning
I'm looking for glory
At the end of the story
But there's no happy endings
Setting fire to the best things
Setting fire to the best things
Setting fire to the best things
Setting fire to the best things
Setting fire to the best things
​
All is, all is, all is on the line
Setting fire to the best things
We're rolling, rolling, rolling out the fire
Setting fire to the best things
​
All is, all is, all is on the line
Setting fire to the best things
​
OCEAN & THE MOON
You were meant to be my home
Like a force that can't be known
Like the ocean & the moon
I'm connected to you
​
All I know, All I know
We will never be the same
We don't need to play those games
Your eyes are greater than the frame
​
You were meant to be my home
Like a force that can't be known
Like the ocean & the moon
I'm connected to you
​
When I met you I was thrown
Like a ripple in a pond
And the shockwaves carry on
I'm a lake and you're the stone
​
Like the ocean & the moon
​
​
​
YOU'VE GOT IT WRONG
Listen close, you’ve got it wrong
Blaming me for things that I’ve not done
You jump the gun and shoot your mouth
So convinced of your lies
You think you’re wise
You’ve got it wrong
You’ve got it wrong, got it wrong
Where do we go from here?
You may regret, the words that passed
You’ve said your piece, that the peace won’t last
You don’t care, if the gasket blows
The mistakes you make, they are yours to own
You’ve got it wrong
You’ve got it wrong, got it wrong
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
​

​
STILL WAITING
I held onto the past
I thought this love was built to last
But I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting for you
​
When you left me in that room
After howling at the moon
We were so stupid
Now we're both losing
Now we're both losing
​
That young love that we once had
Has now been crippled by the cast
Of something heavy
Something so heavy
I'm feeling unsteady
​
You said you don't want me around anymore
Don't want me around anymore
Don't want me around anymore
​
You threw a glass it hit the wall
With jagged pieces on the floor
But I'm still walking
I'm still walking, I'm still walking to you
​
You said I'm full of crap
And that our conversation's flat
But no one's laughing
Now we're not laughing
Now I'm not laughing with you
​
That young love that we once had
Has now been crippled by the cast
Of something heavy
Something so heavy
I'm feeling unsteady
​
You said you don't want me around anymore
Don't want me around anymore
Don't want me around anymore
​
You said you don't want me around anymore
Don't want me around anymore
Don't want me around anymore
​
I held onto the past
I thought this love was built to last
But I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting for you

​
SIMPLE FREEDOMS
Not for you or me
To decide what's free
No need for separate seats
​
No need, no need, no need
For so much pain
​
We all make our choices
With our various voices
What if it's taken away
​
(Running, running) Running
(Running, running) Running
(Running, running) Running
(Running, running) Into the sea
​
(Wash away the pain) To wash away
(From demon days) From demon days
(Running, running) Wide-eyed
(Running, running)
(Running from demon days) Begin again
​
(Running, running) Running
(Running, running) Running
(Running, running) Running
(Running, running) From demon days
​
(Running, running) No need
(Running, running) No need
(Running, running) No need
For so much pain
​
Even now, uneven simple freedoms
Calling to just be people
Beyond a shade
​
We remain for another day
For another way
A better way
A better way
Hear me say
​
We remain for love
Hear me say
CAMERA
I am a camera
Open to the light
I take a negative
And turn it into life
​
I focus on the truth
That passes into view
I am a camera
All I see is you
​
I'm alive, when I look at you
I'm alive, I see the things you do
​
I am camera
Mirror in the room
I am a passenger
Wandering the bloom
​
I'm looking through the grain
Everything is new
I am a camera
All I see is you
​
I'm alive, when I look at you
I'm alive, I see the things you do
​
I am a camera
Open to the light
​
​
​
ENDGAME
I'm imagining the end
All I know is that it's certain we all face the leveller
I motion to a friend
Part of me must wonder
If there's anything beyond the bend
​
It's all about to change
It's all about to change
It's all about to change
I'm not ready for the endgame
Or the image in the last frame
​
Let it be a long time before I cross the end line
What if I don't want to die? Have I lived a good life?
Forever is a long time, I wonder if I'll keep my mind
The essence that is all mine
It's all about to change
​
I'm not ready for the endgame
Are we ever ready for that big change?
Have I lived as if I'm on stage?
Recurring loops on different days
Will leave an honest legacy?
Do I care about a legacy?
I hope you know I love your ways
​
It's all about to change (I'm not ready)
It's all about to change (I'm not ready)
It's all about to change (are we ever ready)
I'm not ready for the endgame (I'm not ready)
Or the image in the last frame
​
​
​
HONESTY
Right over wrong, no more cheating
Your trust means more, more than control
​
Power can induce amnesia
Lets not forget about the venom you sold
​
I know who I am
I need decency
This is what I want
From the world I see
​
I need honesty
I need honesty
I need honesty
Give me honesty
​
The hate you sew, so full of ego
Lets not forget about the people you owe
​
Tomorrow can begin to heal
Not something fake
It needs to be real
​
I know who I am
I need decency
This is what I want
From the world I see
​
I need honesty (I need, I need, I need, I need)
I need honesty (I need, I need, I need, I need)
I need honesty (I need, I need, I need, I need)
Give me honesty (I need, I need, I need, I need)
​
I need honesty
​
​
​
VIPERS
Dusting off my armour
And I'm taking back the power
Given you my life-force
And you're taking all my hours
​
Everyday's a battle
I'm repeatedly despairing
I do the best I can but
Thinking what's the point in caring
You keep on trying to break me
But look I stand here glaring
Daring me to flinch but
I keep my eyes wide open staring
​
Dusting off my armour
And I'm taking back the power
Given you my life-force
And you're taking all my hours
​
Want to be a king but
You're controlling all my kingdoms
Vipers at my door and
It's hard to keep away the minions
Witness my defences
As I flex my mental prowess
Climb aboard your death star
As my rebels find your weakness
​
​
​
ESCAPISM
Sometimes when I am feeling low
Think about waves & the undertow
Dragging my feet through a golden coast
And I jump in the ocean
Clear blue water
Imagine the sun dancing through the trees
Escapism come take a hold of me
​
And set me free
Set me free
​
Lost in my own thoughts, perfect view
Climbing the peaks and I never knew
I could be free like I see in you
And I long for the mountains & waterfalls
Imagine the sun dancing through the trees
Escapism come take a hold of me
​
And set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
​
Stare at the walls
And I'm feeling kinda small here
Wanna fill my lungs with fresh air
Wanna close my eyes be anywhere
And I wish I could be anywhere
But here
It's alright, It's OK
​
Sometimes when I am feeling low
Think about waves & the undertow
Dragging my feet through a golden coast
And I jump in the ocean
Clear blue water
Imagine the sun dancing through the trees
Escapism come take a hold of me
​
And set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
MIGHTIER
Blood is thicker than water
Water is the bringer of life
Life can sometimes bring darkness
Darkness is diminished by light
​
Longing for a peaceful sky
A sky that joins the lines of fray
We are all the space between stars
Drifting like a ship without a bay
​
Light up the dark
Acting from the heart
Light up the dark
Let the sword depart
​
Light up the dark
Now's the time to start
Light up the dark
Let the sword depart
​
​
​
I AM
I am the one who rises with the sun
You don't know me 'cos when you wake
I am gone, I am gone
​
I am the one who takes the time to care
Minutes to hours, when you're weak
I am there, I am there
​
I am the one
I am the one
I am the one
​
I am the one who takes a risk each day
Through the smoke, hold your breath
Ease your pains, ease your pains
​
I am the one
I am the one
I am the one
​
Look around take a note of your brothers
Put one foot in front of the other
You're never alone
​
Be amazed by the beat of the rabble
Step by step you'll see things unravel
You're never alone
​
​
​
SOUNDWAVES OF GOLD
I said to the man on the door of my calm
Let me in, it's time to begin
He said I must go to a town in the midst of it all
Acoustics enthral
​
And now I have come to a place
Where my frequency's sold
In Soundwaves of Gold
​
The town was cursed by the beats
And must dance for their souls, so it was told
But they don't seem to mind
It's a small price to hold for Soundwaves of Gold
​
And now I have come to a place
Where my frequency's sold
In Soundwaves of Gold
​
​
​
MOUNTAIN
This mountain of mine
A vision of good in my life
A silence up high
A strength that stands tall by my side
​
This mountain of mine
You're all that I need to get by
A version of I
You make me want to aim high
​
You're the reason i stay
You're the light in my cave
You're the words that I kiss
You're the bringer of bliss
You're the waves, I'm the sand
You're the palm in my hand
You are this mountain of mine
I am tall by your side
​
​
​
FEAR OF WOLVES
Fear takes me over
Controlling my head
Can't eat and I can't sleep
For fear of what happens when I fail
​
Fear makes the wolf bigger than it is
Fear makes the fire stronger than it is
Fear makes the journey longer than it is
Fear makes the wolf bigger than it is
​
You need to gain control
You're afraid of yourself
Of what you can do
And what you cannot, you will fall harder
​
Fear makes the wolf bigger than it is
Fear makes the fire stronger than it is
Fear makes the journey longer than it is
Fear makes the wolf bigger than it is
​
Fear, fear, fear takes me over
FOUND
I went down the only road I know
Silent cure
Shadows are mocking you for more
​
They surround me deadly sharks and foe
Dare to dare
Vipers'll linger if you care
​
Repeatedly I will bring myself down
That inner voice is nagging
Aims to loosen my crown
​
It pulls me down, I see the ground
If I am strong and I am proud
Then I am found
​
I can be my biggest enemy
Sound it out
Show them what you're all about
​
Repeatedly I will bring myself down
That inner voice is nagging
Aims to loosen my crown
​
It pulls me down, I see the ground
If I am strong and I am proud
Then I am found
​
Sometimes I feel it's taking its toll on me
I never want to let it get underneath
Sometimes I feel its taken the best of me
I never want to let it get underneath
​
It pulls me down, I see the ground
If I am strong and I am proud
Then I am found
​
​
​
HOME FROM HOME
Home is anywhere you belong my friend
Turn handles to your heart
Like the deep night sky, the measure of life
When you find your Home From Home
​
When I look beyond all the here, the now
I see the real, the right
When it came to me, It brought me to my knees
I had found my Home From Home
​
When you're close to touch
Then reach out for me
You may just find the key
Not as hard it seems, to swing from the trees
I have found my Home From Home
​
Home is anywhere you belong my friend
Turn handles to your heart
Like the deep night sky, the measure of life
When you find your Home From Home
When you find your Home From Home
​
​
​
LITTLE FACE
Little face, here is safe
Little smile, stay a while
Until all your roots are strong
​
Little hands, don't let go
Little grin, stay and win
Until all your roots are strong
​
Until you're well
​
Little dove, rise above
Soar through winds, little wings
Until all your roots are strong
​
Little face, here is safe
Little grin, stay and win
Until all your roots are strong
​
Until you're well
​
​
​
SALTWATER
So long, so long
I slept but without dreaming
You woke me from the slumber
And now I dream of songs
​
My love, my love
You are salt and I the water
And now we are the ocean
We move in fluid motion
​
Now even
Even in shadows I feel warm
I'm glad the day my heart was cast
And you were mine at last
​
You were mine at last
​
​
​
REMEMBER ME
Hear in the wind
Whispers of us my friend
​
Echoes of what used to be
Remember me
ON THE MOVE
Wondering off
Silver and copper
Onto the next door step
​
Bring me along
Pack me in your bag
Take me
On the move
​
Islands abroad
Air, road or water
So much to see and to do
​
Carry with you
Memories of all this
Take them
On the move
​
On and on
Never gone too long
On and on
Bring me with you
On the road again
On and on
​
​
​
THE AFFAIR​
There by the phone again
She sits all alone again
And when he comes hoe it's a distant cry
Of love that once was full of endless life
​
Light casts a gloomy truth
She yearns for the days of youth
The scent of perfumed skin on his clothes depart
She reaches for a knife with a desperate heart
​
Night of a thousand moons
She weeps as the curtains close
An aching sorrow lingers in the air
The love that once was is no longer there
​
​
​
ALARMS RING OUT
It's early morning and alarms ring out
Beat my head about again
I'll take the good, the bad, the anything
Be there for my kin always
​
Will the routine ever end?
And can the situation mend?
Or will it pull us out of trend?
​
We'll lay them out all side by side
And you will find that you can walk for miles
And never touch the ground
​
It's early morning and alarms ring out
Beat my head about again
I'll take the good, the bad, the anything
Be there for my kin always
​
Take a stand and start again
Build a life up for yourself
Leave the wrong turns on the shelf
​
We'll lay them out all side by side
And you will find that you can walk for miles
And never touch the ground
​
It's early morning and alarms ring out
Beat my head about again
I'll take the good, the bad, the anything
Be there for my kin always
​

THE RECORD SHOP
Every week I buy a record from the shop around the corner
A piece of time that's written in the tramlines of the vinyl
The old man serves me coffee and we talk about the weather
His voice is husk and holds a solemn song
​
Every week I buy a record from the shop around the corner
The building has charisma proudly standing on the hillside
A glimmer of the ocean as I look through the window
And I can't help but feel like something has died
​
Every week I buy a record from the shop around the corner
The old man grows more distant every time I go to see him
"I don't see as many faces as I used to" he tells me
He feels the record's lost, just like his shop
​
I used to buy records from the shop around the corner
The old man served me coffee and we'd talk about the weather
Now the shop has gone and my weekly past time's over
I fear the record's lost... just like the shop
​

​
NEON LOVE SONG
Lay me down on velvet ground
Taste your last embrace
​
Ambience and power
Power and grace
Power and grace
​
Not a case of monochrome love
It's a full spectrum glove
​
Ambience and power
Power and grace
Power and grace
​
This is a Neon love Song
​
Hear the voice of something silver
Rush of crimson thunder
​
Ambience and power
Power and grace
Power and grace
​
OVERGROWN
Imagine the future
It's me and a dream
With arms 'round each other
A luxury scene
​
Never before have I taken a fall
That makes me want to stop
Hope has gone from my dreams
I cannot see you
All this aside I've got love in my life
And yet somehow it seems
Hope has gone from my dreams
I cannot see you
​
Now I cannot see you
It's all overgrown
​
I'm clearing the ruins
I'm climbing the tree
To help all the others
I need to fix me
​
Never before have I taken a fall
That makes me want to stop
Hope has gone from my dreams
I cannot see you
All this aside I've got love in my life
And yet somehow it seems
Hope has gone from my dreams
I cannot see you
​
Now I cannot see you
It's all overgrown
TOUCH MY BONES
I stand in a line up of three
A rabbit a hedgehog and me
Remove all the things that you see
Deep in my core is the key
​
Touch my bones
You can touch my bones
​
I stand on the edge of my heart
Don't really know where to start
We pass by each other each day
Don't really know what to say
​
Touch my bones
You can touch my bones
​
This is not a whisper of my affections
I will shout them loud
​
​
​
ENGLISH RAIN
Catching up on old times
I learned a lot about you
From someone else
​
Everybody needs someone
And you had yours
But what difference
Could one more have made
In a world of closed doors?
​
Open up, let in the air
Flood your thoughts with English rain
​
Everybody needs someone
And you had yours
But what difference
Could one more have made
In a world of closed doors?
​
Flood your thoughts with English rain
Don't drown, float away
​
Everybody needs someone
And you had yours
But what difference
Could one more have made
​
In a world of closed doors?
​
​
​
SQUARE
It is fine to walk in line
​
Oh you're a square
Oh I'm a square
Oh we are square
Oh we are square
​
I don't mind the talk in rhyme
​
Oh you're a square
Oh I'm a square
Oh we are square
Oh we are square
​
I want to make this clear
Why should I care if I prefer tea to beer?
Does that make me square?
I want to make this clear
I couldn't care less
I prefer tea to beer
Maybe I'm square
​
Oh you're a square
Oh I'm a square
Oh we are square
Oh we are square
​

​
IN THE ARMS OF ANOTHER DAY
Sunshine fills my room today
The morrow brings a mellow haze
Never know if I should stay
I'll leave it in the arms of another day
​
I love it but I hate it
I'm trapped but I want to be trapped
I'm here but I'm not quite there
Busy chasing a lost dream
​
Autumn orange plays misty on my mind
Departing is the time I find
On and on this delicate dismay
I'll leave it in the arms of another day
​
I love it but I hate it
I'm trapped but I want to be trapped
I'm here but I'm not quite there
Busy chasing a lost dream
​
Days come but the clock is lost
Days go and still no better off
Never know if I should stay
I will leave it in the arms of another day
​
I love it but I hate it
I'm trapped but I want to be trapped
I'm here but I'm not quite there
Busy chasing a lost dream
​
​
​
A PICTURE OF YOU
With the sun light on my face
I remember the days of a golden haze
One day when I am back with you
i won't be feeling these blues
They will be gone, gone, gone.
​
I write from afar with tales of my scars
Holding a picture of you
What gets me through are the memories of youth
And a picture of you
Memories of youth and a picture of you
​
With the evening drawing in
The cold air clinging to my skin
I keep you deep within
In a box beside my bed
i have saved all the things you said
You're never gone, gone, gone
​
I write from afar with tales of my scars
Holding a picture of you
What gets me through are the memories of youth
And a picture of you
Memories of youth and a picture of you
​
Writing from afar with tales of my scars
All that gets me through are thoughts of youth
And a picture of you
​
​
​
BE WITH YOU ALWAYS
See her long brown hair
And her deep blue eyes wash over me
i ask her what's her name and she says...
"Why do you want to know my name?"
​
You're not like any of the others
I can see me with you always
I could be with you always
I could be with you always
​
Feel his inner song
Singing out I harmonise along
Like a pulse plays with my rhythm of life
Should I lose myself or hold back for now
​
You're not like any of the others
I can see me with you always
I could be with you always
I could be with you always
​
I will be with you always
I will be with you always
