DEVIL INSIDE(long version)by Leo Gillespie with KK

Valhalla by Leo Gillespie


I STOOD ON THAT PLATFORM IN PARIS
AS YOUR TRAIN PULLED AWAY
NOT SURE IF YOU BLEW A KISS OR A CURSE
DIDN'T KNOW IF I SHOULD BOW OR PRAY

THEN I WAS ALONE WITH A HEAD FULL OF POEMS
 A HEART FULL OF WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
YOU LEFT ME WITH NOTHING I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT
 JUST A PASSING BLONDE BLUE EYED DREAM

IN XAVIER PRIVAS I MADE ME SOME COFFEE
PONDERED THE COURSE OF THE DAY
READ HENRY MILLERS QUIET DAYS IN CLICHY
AND TIME AS IT DOES SLIPPED AWAY

AT ROGER LE FRIT THE POULET WAS PICKED
THE FRITES QUITE QUICKLY DEVOURED
THE BONES AND THE CRUMBS WERE ALL THAT WAS LEFT
OF ALL THAT ONCE WAS EVER OURS
   
    BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON SINGS SPIRITUAL REDEMPTION
   COLETTE'S RECITING ARAGON IN THE STREET
   MOUNA IS PREACHING PEACEFUL REVOLUTION
   AND FOR A MOMENT EVERYTHING IS AS IT SHOULD BE

  IN MONTPARNASSE PHILIP PETIT IN TOP HAT
JUGGLIN' STARS WALKIN' THE HIGHWIRE
ST GERMAIN DES PRES BLACK EYE ON THE RATMANS FACE
HIS RODENT TRICK ONCE MORE BACKFIRED

THE SELECT IS ALIVE WITH THE FOOLS AND THE WISE
THE  POETS TRYING TO CATCH THE DAY
HOW HARD THEY RECITE PHILOSOPHISE
BUT TIME AS IT DOES SLIPS AWAY
   
BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON SINGIN' SPIRITUAL REDEMPTION
   COLETTE'S  RECITING ARAGON IN THE STREET
   MOUNA IS PREACHING A PEACEFUL REVOLUTION
   AND FOR A MOMENT EVERYTHING IS AS IT SHOULD BE

I STOOD ON THAT PLATFORM IN PARIS
AS YOUR TRAIN PULLED AWAY
NOT SURE IF YOU BLEW A KISS OR A CURSE
DIDN'T KNOW IF I SHOULD BOW OR PRAY



NOW YOU'RE PROBABLY IN STOCKHOLM
YOUR NORDIC REALITY
VALHALLA IS JUST BEING HOME
AND HERE FEELS LIKE HOME TO ME
  
   WITH BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON SINGING SPIRITUAL REALITY
   COLETTE'S RECITING ARAGON ON THE STREET
   MOUNA  IS PREACHING PEACEFUL REVOLUTION
   FOR A MOMENT EVERYTHING IS AS IT SHOULD BE

JOURNEYS END by leo gillespie

FOR A MOMENT OF PEACE 
AND A HANDFULL OF SILENCE
I LAY DOWN IN THE VALLEY 
WITH A HEART FULL OF PRAYER

BORN IN  THIS WORLD 
TO CONTINUE LIFES JOURNEY
I CONSIDER THAT PROGRESS 
IS BEING HALFWAY THERE

PEOPLE SURROUND ME 
WITH SMILES THAT ARE GOLDEN
BORN FAR FROM THE LAND 
WHERE A FROWN IS THE KING

WHERE A LITTLES A LOT 
BUT THE LITTLE THEY'VE GOT
COULD BE THE PART OF THE PUZZLE 
THIS WORLD IT HAS LOST

THE VALLEY I LAY IN 
IS FERTILE AND GROWING
NOT HINDERED BY PROGRESS 
OR WORN BY THE WIND

IT IS AS IT WAS  
SOME SAY ALWAYS WILL BE
A POINT OF DEPARTURE 
AT JOURNEYS END

Journeys End by Leo Gillepie

DUBLIN DAYS|by leo gillespie


IN A LITTLE TIN SHACK BY THE RAIROAD TRACK
THE COLD JUST FROZE MY BONES
WHEN THE FIRE BLEW OUT
I JUST PULLED THE BLANKET TO MY NOSE


OVER IN THE OTHER CABIN
GYPSY ROCK WERE KEEPING WARM
BLASTING OUT THEIR MUSIC
TO THE SEAGULLS IN THE STORM

OH OH OH THOSE DUBLIN DAYS
IF I MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
WITH A TINKERS BLESSING I JUST MIGHT
WAKE UP IN THE MORNINGS LIGHT
SEE ROSIE SMILE AGAIN

WHEN I WALK DOWN HENRY STREET
THE KIDS CARRY MY GUITAR
THE GIRLS WANT TO KNOW THEIR FUTURE
I'M THE TINKERS SUPERSTAR

THEY ALL STOP THEIR BEGGING
COME AND LISTEN TO MY SONG
QUIT THEIR POCKET PICKIN'
TILL AFTER I AM GONE

OH OH OH THOSE DUBLIN DAYS
IF I MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
WITH A TINKERS BLESSING I JUST MIGHT
WAKE UP IN THE MORNINGS LIGHT
SEE ROSIE SMILE AGAIN

OVER IN THE BAGGOT INN
IT'S RONNIE DREW TONIGHT
CHARLIE ASKS ME TO SUPPORT
I SAY YES ALRIGHT

YOUR MAN IS AT THE BAR
A BOTTLE BY HIS FACE
I SAY GOOD EVENING HOW YOU DOING
IT'S A FRIENDLY KIND OF PLACE

PAUL BRADY'S IN THE CORNER
SINGING ARTHUR McBRIDE
AILISH MOORE ASKS WHERE'S PAT GIBBS
IS HE COMING IN TONIGHT

OH OH OH THOSE DUBLIN DAYS
IF I MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
WITH A TINKERS BLESSING I JUST MIGHT
WAKE UP IN THE MORNINGS LIGHT
SEE ROSIE SMILE AGAIN

THEN IT'S UP TO CHRISTCHURCH
TAILORS HALL CLOSES LATE
SEAN SELLS WINE CHICKEN AND CHIPS
AND THE PINT OF STOUT IS GREAT

THE SACKVILLE BAND PLAYING
SPECIAL GUEST STAR GEORGIE KAYE
WHO ALSO ASKS ME WHERE'S PAT GIBBS
I SAY I JUST CAN'T SAY

HE SAYS WE'RE GOING TO FORM A BAND
THE WORLD WE'RE GOING TO HEAL
FIRST GIG ON MONDAY NIGHT
MARY STREET IN THE SPINNING WHEEL

OH OH OH THOSE DUBLIN DAYS
IF I MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
WITH A TINKERS BLESSING I JUST MIGHT
WAKE UP IN THE MORNINGS LIGHT
SEE ROSIE SMILE AGAIN


 
MONDAY I AM EARLY
THE WEATHER IT IS GOOD
PAT ARRIVES FOM LONDON
AND DERMOTS JUST LEFT SPUD

GEORGE HE IS OUR LEADER 
HE KNOWS THE ROPES BY HEART
HE SAYS WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT
BY JUST BEING WHO WE ARE

WE ARE BLESSED BY AN APPEARANCE
OF SAINT PECKER DUNNE THE PURE
WAVES HIS WAND IN OUR DIRECTION
AND BE-JAYSUS IT'S THE PERMANENT CURE

OH OH OH THOSE DUBLIN DAYS
IF I MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
WITH A TINKERS BLESSING I JUST MIGHT
WAKE UP IN THE MORNINGS LIGHT
SEE ROSIE SMILE AGAIN
