Ti Ti (o’farrell)
So she’s ready to fly,
Thru the ether of the night
Looking on, thru a storm
whichever way the wind blows
She’s gonna climb the long way home
If you see me looking sideways, thru the whites of my eye
You see I’m cold and lonely as a stone
We found the golden doorway but we done lost the key
We can look for it together ‘fore we sleep
Baby please
Singing… my sweet love
No mediocrity
We’re at terminal velocity
My sweet love
So she’s ready to fly,
Thru the ether of the night
Looking on, thru a storm
whichever way the wind blows
She’s gonna climb the long way home
If you see me looking sideways, thru the whites of my eye
You see I’m cold and lonely as a stone
We found the golden doorway but we done lost the key
We can look for it together ‘fore we sleep
My sweet love
No mediocrity, terminal velocity
Whichever way the wind blows
Whichever way the wind blows
Whichever way the wind blows
Whichever way the wind blows
My Sweet love

Dark Days (macclancy / seezer / o’farrell)
I’ve lived through Dark Days,
When I couldn’t believe.
I heard every kind word,
As a trick to deceive.
Trying to find a voice to wish.
But ending up with a shout.
If you’re the one who tells the lie,
You’re the first to find out.
Oh luck is hard to take,
‘cause it takes you by surprise.
And when it brings love in it’s arms,
It’s harder to be wise.
I fought against it tooth and nail,
I’ve tried to kill it in the womb.
And when my last weapon was broke,
You took me to your room.
So I’m drinking and smoking.
I’m taking pills when I’m not ill.
I’ve enjoyed the most of it,
And the truth is I do still.
But there’s nothing I’d do differently.
There’s no way I’d change my life.
To get a decent cutting edge,
Well You’ve got to whet the knife.

Don’t Go Down (o’farrell / hansard)
Through the glass I can see the stars.
Ya I was born with a wishing heart.
No matter what life brings, I won’t let it rattle me.
When I’m up against a turning tide,
And everything starts to twist inside,
Won’t go down on my knees
Gonna let it ride over me.
Ah…mmmmm! Ah…mmmmm! Ah…mmmmm!
When life has got me up against the ropes.
It’s raining punches, there’s nowhere to go.
I’m gonna float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
When I’m tangled in the mess of things,
And all that bullshit that living brings.
Won’t go down on my knees,
Gonna let it ride over me.
Ah…mmmmm! Ah…mmmmm! Ah…mmmmm!
Through the glass I can see the stars.
Ya I was born with a wishing heart.
No matter what life brings, I won’t let it rattle me.
.
When I’m tangled in the mess of things,
And all that bullshit that living brings.
Won’t go down on my knees,
Gonna let it ride over me.
Ah…mmmmm! Ah…mmmmm! Ah…mmmmm!
Won’t go down on my knees,
Gonna let it ride over me.
Won’t go down on my knees,
Gonna let it ride over me.
Won’t go down on my knees,
Gonna let it ride over me.
Let it ride
Let it ride

The Chinese Mile (o’farrell / tiernan)
Down the Chinese mile
I covered my love in silk.
There was blood inside this fruit.
And I could taste the body of her love
And The flesh was fabulous
And really good to eat.
All you boys and you girls.
We only know one world.
It’s a fabulous world to know.
We only know one world.
It’s a fabulous world to know.
If I wrote my love a two step.
Don’t you know she’d dance a waltz.
We’d be Tripping to a music box.
And I could hold the body of her love…
And the touch would be fabulous,
And Sweeter than the air I breathe.
All you boys and you girls.
We only know one world.
It’s a fabulous world to know.
We only know one world.
It’s a fabulous world we know.
I spent a lovely Christmas time,
By the fire with a bottle of red wine.
And Li cooked me her T-Bone.
She knows I like her T-Bone
I really love her T-Bone.
Don’t you know I love her T-Bone.
See how the moon is waning.
But will come around again,
Slipping thru the edges of time…
Behold our body of love..
While we revolve around the sun.
Like a ship inside a bottle,
Another bottle inside the ship.
Like a ship inside a bottle,
Another bottle inside the ship.

American Townland (o’farrell / macclancy)
American townland,
Snow and Iceland
Russian farmland
And the sword of Islam.
The state of new Israel remembers Belsen
now the sand of Palestine is the grass for Israel.
Won’t you settle down.
Stop fighting for your Gods.
They can’t hear you now
Not with the noise of your guns.
Woah settle down.
Stop fighting for your Gods.
They can’t hear you now
Not with the noise of your guns.
Once were towering steeples
Now there’s a soaring eagle.
A crescent moon and a rising sun.
Our prayers ascending- what good will they bring.
When all's that’s willing is more and more killing.
Won't you settle down.
Stop fighting for your Gods.
They can’t hear you now
Not with the noise of your guns.
Woah settle down.
Stop fighting for your Gods.
They can’t hear you now
Not with the noise of your guns
We’ve got the Mountains of Mourne
The County Cork I was born in
Any dirty old town where the rain keeps on falling.
Our prayers ascending, but what good will they bring?
If all that’s willing is more and more killing…..

I Am Your Man (o’farrell / macclancy)
I’ll be your father or your knight of love Devine.
I will be your punishment and strip you in the cold moonshine.
I’ll be your memory and quietly slip away.
I’ll present you with all religion and give you a ring every day.
Cause I am your man.
I’ll be unworthy when I lick between your lips.
A slave to show you cowardice. A bold pirate and captain of ships.
I’ll be a crucifix when I nail myself to your skin.
I will beg forgiveness from God and gently cleanse your sins.
Cause I am your man.
I’ll be Lord Byron if you want to be naked and free.
I’ll be Lord Jesus if you’re caught in a storm at sea.
I will bring you peace and rid your soul of fear.
I will bring you relief if you are lost in a veil of tears.
Cause I am your man.
I will ask for nothing:
But a promise for eternity.
And a vow to grant me your body.
And a charge to rule your destiny.
La La La.

Something Right (macclancy / seezer / o’farrell)
I thought my problem was an empty bowl,
Until my bowl was filled.
I thought my sorrow was having to move,
Until my movement stilled.
I thought my fear was of the dark,
Until I turned on the light.
I thought that I could do nothing wrong,
Until I did something right.
I was dreaming I could touch the stars
When I fell out of my tree.
I was Always laughing at somebody else,
‘till the joke turned on me.
I thought my courage meant I’d never loose,
Until I gave up the fight.
I thought that I could do nothing wrong,
Until I did something right.
Do you ever feel wonder, but nothing to touch?
Yet touched is all you feel.
I thought of a mountain as something to climb,
And not something to rise…. in me.
I thought the world was a shallow place,
’till I was lost at sea.
I thought my strength was in standing alone,
’till the ground gave beneath my feet.
And all my hopes were tied up in dreams…..
Until the end of the night.
I thought that I could do nothing wrong,
Until I did something right.
I thought that I could do nothing wrong,
Until I did something right.

Sail On (o’farrell / macclancy / seezer)
The moon is a ship at night
And it sails over a starry sea.
It’s sailors seek out lovers,
To hear things they're saying to each other.
Well if life was a fairy-tale
Every word would come true.
And as you lie here by my side,
I'd whisper… 'I love you'
The sun is a honey-pot
And my loves a busy bee.
As you lie here by my side
We are sharing the same dream
Well If life was a fairytale,
Every word would come true.
And love would last forever,
Thru these days and nights so blue...
Sail on silver moon, sail on, sail on, sail on.
Sail on silver moon, sail on, sail on, sail on.
Sail on silver moon, sail on, sail on, sail on
Sail on moon.
When I see a shining flame
Falling thru the burning night.
I’ll always think of you,
Wishing everything is so alright, alright,
And Sail on silver moon, sail on, sail on, sail on,
Sail on silver moon, sail on, sail on, sail on.
Sail on silver moon, sail on, sail on, sail on
Sail on moon.
refrain...to end
