Listen To Your Heart

How come, Things feel right, yet seem so wrong? 
How come, life just flyies by, yet seems to be so long? 
How come my mind is made to see nothing but flaws? 
How come demons come in good seasons tell me the cause.

I got Questions for your Lord

How come my sence of direaction, is so confused? 
Lord I’ve not rested, and I’m destined to have my knuckles bruised. 
Lord please dont blame me, please help to tame me, I’ve such a short fuse. And I’m no savior, cause i do my friends a favour, or am i being used?

I got Questions for you Lord

Questions

The Fellow Pilgrims Old Storehouse Sept 20th.

Chasing Cars / Wonderwall

Lyrics

Where do I start to tell you why i choose to leave
Nothing much behind but company of family
everything else is in the papers for you to read -
front to back of irish crime, exception page 3.
The government know exactly what this public needs. -
bill boards for Carlsberg, a dole card with free cheese.

50  jailed last year,  no licensed  TV.
woman dies from bestiality recently,
Anglo irish bank has us down on both knees,
here's your eviction notice curtiousy of your majesty.

I heard some things about the main man Pat Kenny,
he has a faced like a melted welly, just as smelly.

I seen you spending your tax return on black socks down in pennies
bank account is the same size of Mary Harneys belly.

Dave McSavage for president, who agree's?
has some balls and knows the law to some degree.
Ben Gilroy for Taoiseach, i beg ya please.
basically moral compass is all this country needs.

musical culture has pertinently come to halt,
any questions or suggestions goes to Lewis Walsh,
if ya like this song, thanks to him its all his fault,
i wonder if he can take a drop kick with a pinch of salt.

And all you junky monkeys wrapped up in your Nike.
On behalf of the Normalites your full of shite,
you must have watched scar face nearly every night,
take the time to make a moped sound like your voice

Here's  a sentence that my mammy said and made me think,
Ireland's a small boat too many people will make it sink.
you lose it all plus your balls here before ya blink,
lets sing it all together, this place makes me sick.

Garry O'Brien - Ireland makes me sick

A song by Paolo Nutini, one of my favs to play. This was recorded as a live take by good pal Mick Garry in his aswome studio Battle Station Studios. Ive being to many studios in my time, even the honor of Windmill Lane, and still prefer Micks. 
Currently working on a covers CD to sell on my travels, first stop this year Salou. 

Rewind

Whats this power, that draws me to you in bad times?
I tune in even better, the stronger and darker the wine.
Its fine I suppose, at least both of us know, 
unfinished business will take its toll, maybe home.

E(g)
I know so many who wish they could say ''now I'm clean''.
F#(am)
Bad things I've seen.
Things are good, with this in my blood, so it seems.

You have colors of which no one has never named,
do things on the inside, and outside is never the same.
some hate the rain, i say it washes our souls.
I best stay with my kind, a grown man can, i still fear to be alone.

Compare the pictures of him now, from when he was young.
I bet those are lost, since your new friends sell you fun.
There is no dam shame taking the time to change.
Emberassed each day, this place is the place of shame.


Seems

I'm sorry I didn't let us kiss,
you have to understand that I'm not ready for this.
Don't you know that I'm a jealous man
and your just too beautiful for me. 

Don't you know that your just too beautiful for me 
Don't you know that your just too beautiful for me 
just like when a butterfly meets, a bumblebee

I'm sorry I made you feel this way
I'm still inside that place where I got so betrayed
Don't you know that I'm a jealous man
and your just too beautiful for me. 

Don't you know that your just too beautiful for me 
Don't you know that your just too beautiful for me 
just like when a butterfly meets, a bumblebee
