REAL WORLD | top of page

IF THEY GAVE YOU THE GOOD LIFE
WOULD YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
WOULD YA LOCK OUT THE REAL WORLD
NO COMPROMISE
YOU SLEEP SAFE TONIGHT

AND YOU BELIEVE IT
THINK THAT YOU NEED IT

TWO BULLETS SHY OF THE FREE WORLD
DON'T KID YOURSELF IT'S THE REAL WORLD

SO WE GO WITH SURVIVAL
THIS FLAG WE WAVE
OUR CHOICES MADE

AND WE BELIEVE IT
THINK THAT WE NEED IT

CHORUS

AND YOU BELIEVE IT
THINK THAT YOU NEED IT

CHORUS

TOUCH THE SKY | top of page

EYES OF A CHILD
SIMPLE AND WILD
WHERE DID YOU GO

I SEE PICTURES OF HOME
WHERE I'M NEVER ALONE
AND WARMTH SURROUNDS ME
KEEPS ME WHOLE

I'D LIKE TO THINK WE DESERVE A BEGINNING
I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT WE FIGHT 'CAUSE WE'RE WINNING
REACH UP SO HIGH
NEVER TOUCH THE SKY

TIME PASSES BY
THE STRUGGLE GOES ON
AND I DON'T FEEL WARM
ANYMORE

I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT WE'LL ALL BE FORGIVEN
I'D KNOW WE SIN BUT IT'S PART OF THIS LIVING
REACH UP SO HIGH
NEVER TOUCH THE SKY

HEY HEY HEY
WE WILL NOT BE UNDERRATED
HEY HEY HEY
WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT UNTIL WE MAKE IT
HEY HEY HEY
THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET
REACH UP SO HIGH
NEVER TOUCH THE SKY

I'D LIKE TO THINK WE DESERVE A BEGINNING
I'D KNOW WE SIN BUT IT'S PART OF THIS LIVING
REACH UP SO HIGH
UNTIL WE TOUCH THE SKY
OH YOU'RE TOUCHING THE SKY
YOUR HEADS IN THE CLOUDS
YOUR REACHING SO HIGH
YOUR TOUCHING THE SKY

OK | top of page

CHIP OFF THE BLOCK
COME FROM GOOD STOCK, DON'T YOU
SETTLE THE SCORE,
THEN SOME AND ALL, WON'T YOU
BUT IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME
SOMEONE TAKES THE BLAME
YOU'RE OUT OF BOUNDS
PANTS ON THE GROUND
IT'S TRUE, SO TRUE

OK, OK
WE'VE CAUGHT YOU RED HANDED
YOU, YOU SAY
IT'S NOT THE WAY YOU PLANNED IT
NO WAY, NO WAY
OF GETTING ROUND IT
YOU SAY, YOU SAY
THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE OK
WELL IT'S NOT OK

DUG A BIG HOLE
LOST ALL CONTROL, DID YOU
TOOK BAD ADVICE
A BAG FULL OF SHITE
FROM YOU
YOU TRY TO COVER YOUR TRACKS
IT'S WAY TOO LATE FOR YOU
YOU'RE OUT OF BOUNDS
PANTS ON THE GROUND
IT'S TRUE, SO TRUE

CHORUS

NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY,
WE'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND IT
X4

CHORUS

PLEASE | top of page

PLEASE WON'T YOU FORGIVE ME
PLEASE I'M BEGGING FOR MERCY
PLEASE I'LL NEVER LET YOU DOWN AGAIN

YOU WANTED SOMEONE TO RELY ON
I NEEDED SOMEONE I COULD CRY ON
YOU OPENED THE DOOR
NOW I NEED MORE AND MORE
YOU HAVE BECOME A PART OF ME
CAN'T YOU SEE

AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO

CHORUS

SOMETHING HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME
SOMETHING TAKES A HOLD AND HEALS ME
COMPLETES ME

NOW THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO

CHORUS

SAY IT'S SO | top of page

I READ IN THE PAPER THAT SOONER OR LATER
THE WORLDS GONNA FALL ON IT'S ASS
I'VE GOT SOME QUESTIONS , I NEVER GET ANSWERS,
LATELY I'M TOO SCARED TO ASK

I'M NOT COMPLAINING IT'S JUST THAT I'M SAYING
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SEE
THAT ALL OF THE THINGS THAT ARE WORKING FOR THEM
HAVE NEVER BEEN WORKING FOR ME

I WON'T BE LAZY
NOTHING WILL FAZE ME
I'M JUST GETTING STARTED
TO GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE
SO COME ON.........

BREAK DOWN THE WALLS
KICK DOWN THE DOORS
WE'RE ESCAPING
ALL BOMBS AWAY, WE LIVE FOR TODAY
NO MORE WAITING
NO MASTER PLAN
JUST GRAB WHAT YA CAN
WE ALL STICK TOGETHER, THINGS WILL BE BETTER, I KNOW
IF YOU SAY IT'S SO

SO LIFE TOOK A TOLL AND IT EMPTIED YOUR CUP
THE HITS KEEP ON COMING THEY'LL NEVER GIVE UP
YOU JUST WANT TO SHOUT AT THE WORLD TO SHUT UP FOR A WHILE

NOW DON'T WAIT FOR DAYLIGHT
WE'RE LEAVING TONIGHT
WE GOT WHAT YOU'RE NEEDING
SO WELCOME ON BOARD

CHORUS

WE'RE BUILDING A NEW WORLD
SO COME SAY HELLO
TO YOUR BETTER LIFE
COME ON DOWN, WE GOT A PLACE FRO YOU, AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU SO TAKE IT
THERE'S NO HESITATING, I SAID NO MORE WAITING
YOU GOT TO BELIEVE IT, TO GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE
SO COME ON....

CHORUS

HAPPY | top of page

TWO IN THE MORNING COMES WITHOUT WARNING
SHE LAYS ALONE
NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT YESTERDAYS ALL THAT SHE HAD, SO SAD
BEAUTY IS GONE BUT THE MEMORIES LIVE ON
WHEN IT'S OVER, DID YOU KNOW HER

SHE ALWAYS SEEMED SO HAPPY
BUT LIFE CAN BE SO CRUEL
WE ALL RAISED A GLASS, WE ALL SAID A MASS IN HER NAME
HER NAME

DEEP SUNKEN EYES, FORGOTTEN TO SMILE YEARS AGO, AND SO
SHE LEARNED HOW TO CRY, SOON IT WAS ALL SHE COULD DO,
ALL SHE KNEW
BEAUTY IS GONE BUT THE MEMORIES LIVE ON
WHEN IT'S OVER, DID YOU KNOW HER

CHORUS

COME BACK HOME | top of page

IT'S BEEN SIX LONG MONTHS SINCE THE DEVIL STOLE YOUR TONGUE
IT'S BEEN SIX LONG MONTHS SINCE THE WINTER STOLE THE SUN
I'M LIVING IN DARKNESS I'M LIVING IN PAIN
I GOT A BAD FEELING I WON'T SEE YOU AGAIN
I'M CRIED UP, I'M DRIED UP, I'M FIT TO BE TIED UP FOR YOU

HELP ME I'M DROWNING
GIVE ME A SIGN
IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME I'LL GO OUT OF MY MIND

COME BACK HOME
I'M DOWN ON MY KNEES
COME BACK HOME
YOU CAN DRIVE , HERE'S THE KEYS
COME BACK HOME
I'M LOST IF YOU DON'T
I, OOH WOO WOO

WELL DAYS TO TURN TO YEARS AND THE LAUGHTER TO TEARS SO FAST
BUT HEY WE HAD SOMETHING AND SOMETHINGS ARE MADE TO LAST

HELP ME I'M DROWNING
THROW ME A LINE
IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME I'LL GO OUT OF MY MIND

CHORUS

OFFER UP APOLOGIES
PHILOSOPHIZE LIKE SOCRATES FOR YOU
WATCH ME AS I FALL APART
TRIPPIN' ON MY BROKEN HEART
ALL FOR YOU

HELP ME I'M DROWNING
GIVE ME A SIGN
IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME I'LL GO OUT OF MY MIND

CHORUS

FADE AWAY | top of page

DOES YOUR LIFE
SEEM COMPLICATED
DOES YOUR TIME
FADE AWAY
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH
CAN'T FIGURE WHAT TO DO
AS YOUR LIFE
SLIDES AWAY

HEADS NOT THINKING
SINKING FEELING

HERE IS A PLACE
YOU CAN SLEEP

CLOSE YOU EYES, I SYMPATHIZE
BUT JUST PROMISE YOU WON'T GET TOO DEEP
AND SIMPLY FADE AWAY

DOES THE GIRL
SEEM TIRED AND JADED
IN A WORLD THAT KEEPS BRINGING HER DOWN

BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE
SHE'S GOT AN APPETITE FOR MORE
AS HER LIFE SLIDES AWAY

HEADS NOT THINKING
SINKING FEELING

HERE IS A PLACE
YOU CAN SLEEP
CLOSE YOU EYES, I SYMPATHIZE
BUT JUST PROMISE YOU WON'T GET TOO DEEP
AND SIMPLY FADE AWAY

BANSHEE | top of page

[INSTRUMENTAL]

EVERMORE | top of page

SAW YOU TAKE YOUR FIRST STEPS TODAY
NEXT I KNOW YOU'LL BE RUNNING AWAY
SINCE YOU CAME I'VE BEEN UPSIDE DOWN
NOW I KNOW I NEVER WANT TO COME DOWN

OPEN UP THE WORLD
COME ON INSIDE
HOLD ON TO MY HAND
WE'RE GOING TAKE A RIDE

IF YOU TIRE AS YOU WANDER
I WILL CARRY YOU BACK HOME
YOU MAY FALL YOU MAY STUMBLE
BUT YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE
JUST WRAP YOU ARMS AROUND ME I WILL NEVER LET YOU GO
THIS I SWEAR
I'LL BE THERE
EVERMORE

WATCH YOU GROWING UP EVERYDAY
WHEN YA TALK I WONDER WHAT YOU'LL SAY
BUILD YOU UP I 'LL MAKE YOU WISE AND STRONG
DRIVE THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED ON

LOOK UP AT THE STARS, THEY'RE SHINING TONIGHT
AS LONG AS THEY ARE THERE I AM RIGHT HERE BY YOUR SIDE

CHORUS

WAXIES DARGLE | top of page

SAYS MY AUL' ONE TO YOUR AUL' ONE
"WILL YE COME TO THE WAXIE'S DARGLE?"
SAYS YOUR AUL' ONE TO MY AUL' ONE
"SURE I HAVEN'T GOT A FARTHIN;
I WENT UP TO MONTO TOWN
TO SEE YOUNG KILL MCARDLE
BUT HE WOULDN'T GIVE ME HALF A CROWN
TO GO TO THE WAXIE'S DARGLE

WHAT'LL YA HAVE?
I'LL HAVE A PINT.
I'LL HAVE A PINT WITH YOU SIR.
AND... IF ONE OF US DOESN'T ORDER SOON,
WE'LL BE KICKED OUT OF THE BOOZER.

SAYS MY AUL' ONE TO YOUR AUL' ONE
"WILL YOU COME TO THE GALWAY RACES?"
SAYS YOUR AUL ONE TO MY AUL' ONE
"WITH THE PRICE OF MY AUL' LADS' BRACES
I WENT DOWN TO CAPEL STREET
TO THE OLD MAN MONEY LENDER
BUT HE WOULDN'T GIVE ME A COUPLE OF BOB
FOR THE OLD FELLAS SUSPENDERS.

CHORUS

SAYS MY AUL' ONE TO YOUR AUL' ONE
"WE HAVE NO BEEF OR MUTTON
BUT IF WE GO TO MONTO TOWN
WE MIGHT GET A DRINK FOR NOTHIN'
HERE'S A NICE PIECE OF GOOD ADVISE
I GOT FROM AN AUL' FISHMONGER:
WHEN FOOD IS SCARCE
AND YOU SEE THE HEARSE
YOU'LL KNOW YOU DIED OF HUNGER

CHORUS

CONFUSION | top of page

NOTHING CAN BE WRONG UNTIL IT'S RIGHT
NOTHINGS GONNA BRING YOU BACK TONIGHT
NOTHING I CAN SAY TO MAKE YOU SMILE
MAKE EVERYTHING ALRIGHT FOR JUST A WHILE

I LOOK INTO YOU EYES I SEE YOUR PAIN
KNOW I'VE ONLY GOT MYSELF TO BLAME
NOTHING I CAN DO TO BRING YOU DOWN
NOTHING I CAN SAY TO BRING YOU ROUND

I, OH I
I FEEL , IT'S ALL TOO CONFUSING
X2

REPEAT VERSE ONE
CHORUS

NOTHINGS GONNA BRING YOU BACK TONIGHT
NOTHINGS GONNA BRING YOU BACK TONIGHT
I'M SO TIRED , I'M SO WIRED
X2
