Orchardville

It's not what I wanted

That's what I got

A bellyful of trouble

So what?

And you're sitting all alone now

And you're so out of touch

Well I'd like to tell you something

But I can't say too much

I can't say too much now

Am I coming through?

Am I coming through?

Am I getting through?

Through to you

And you still haven't found

Somebody new

You've been all over town

Painting it blue

And you're sitting so close now

And you're laughing at me

But I'd love to tell you

Just what I need

Just how I feel now

Am I coming through?

Am I coming through?

Am I getting through?

Through to you

Come on!

I burned all my bridges

A long time ago

I'm not the one you want

Listen I have to go

I can tell by your smile

You need a friend

It's different for me

I don't need to pretend

I don't need to pretend

Am I coming through?

Am I coming through?

Am I getting through?

Through to you

Am I coming through?

Am I coming through?

Am I coming through?

Am I getting through?

Through to you

Am I coming through?

Hey!

Hide all your love

And hide all your tears

That's what I learned

Down all these years

Well I built you up

And I'll break you down

And these dark matters we're discussing are

All underground

Seven sisters, I thought I

Knew it all

I fought my way, and I fought you

Tooth and claw

Maybe I'm wrong

Maybe you talk too much

Maybe it's us

Maybe it's all good stuff

When I come around

I'm gonna tell you my plan

I'm coming round

To make sure you understand

Seven sisters, I thought I

Knew it all

I fought my way, and I fought you

Tooth and claw

Seven sisters, I thought I

Knew it all

I fought my way, and I fought you

Tooth and claw

Hey!

Hey!

Seven sisters, I thought I

Knew it all

I fought my way, and I fought you

Tooth and claw

Seven sisters, I thought I

Knew it all

I fought my way, and I fought you

Tooth and claw

In the night

You come to me

To fill my head

With what might have been

A broken promise

And twisted love

It all matters

If nothing matters that much

The past is another country

I don't live there anymore

And the future just keeps on coming

Now it's banging at my door

I'll hate myself

If I don't go

I'll hate myself

And I'll never know

You won't forget

You won't forgive

That's no way

For anyone to live

The past is another country

I don't live there anymore

And the future just keeps on coming

Now it's banging at my door

At my door

Hey!

Hey!

I know they say it

They say it's true

Time heals all wounds

But some never do

Don't know which way

But I'm moving on

Must let go

Of what's already gone

The past is another country

I don't live there anymore

And the future just keeps on coming

Now it's banging at my door

At my door, at my door

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The past is another country

I don't live there anymore

And the future just keeps on coming

Now it's banging at my door

The shipyard's closing down

There's another mouth to feed

But if I had my way

Well I'd build a ship, and take you away

Your hair has lost its shine

And you never seem to smile

Well listen to me girl

I'm not a poet but I love you

The shipyard's all I know

Where else I can go

If I had my way

Well I'd build a ship, and take you away

You've got some trouble

Some kinda mess

But you better believe

You don't know what trouble is

Let's go for a drink

Let's put a few down

Cos we'll never have more

Than we have right now

Just surrender to the city

Just surrender for tonight

We're all going to the same place

Something tells me it'll be all right

Something tells me

I just have to trust

That my baby must know

What's to become of us

She says forget the big house

On the other side of town

Cos we'll never have more

Than we have right now

Just surrender to the city

Just surrender for tonight

We're all going to the same place

Something tells me it'll be all right

Today I feel lucky

In more ways than one

Sure as day follows night

There's good times to come

If we love each other

We'll get through somehow

And we'll never have more

Than we have right now

Just surrender to the city

Just surrender for tonight

We're all going to the same place

Something tells me it'll be all right

Just surrender to the city

Just surrender for tonight

We're all going to the same place

Something tells me it'll be all right

Shut up

You better shut up

Well, there’s nowhere to walk

And there’s too much talk

I'm all fucked up

I feel dirty

Dirty and tired 

I feel weird

Weird and wired

Won’t somebody please

Stop the machine?

Don’t wanna hurt anybody

But I do just the same

Don’t wanna hurt anybody

But I do just the same

That's my blood

On a ten dollar bill

I said that's my blood

On a ten dollar bill

Won’t somebody please

Stop the machine?

Don’t wanna hurt anybody

Don’t wanna hurt anybody

But I do just the same

Don’t wanna hurt anybody

But I do just the same

Everybody

Stop the machine

Stop the machine

Stop the machine

Stop the machine

Stop the machine

Stop the machine

Stop, stop, stop the machine

Stop, stop, stop the machine

Stop, stop, stop the machine

Stop, stop, stop the machine

You never know your luck

In an big town

You might go shooting like a bullet

From a gun

But all the luck in the world

Won't make any difference

Cos I see the shape of things to come

Dream on

Don't ever stop

I'm down in the gutter

But I'm looking up

You can lose your soul

In a big town

You can lose your way, you can lose your head

Did you ever wake up little girl

And wish you were someone else?

Did you ever wake up little girl and

Wish you were dead? Go ahead

Go ahead

Dream on

Don't ever stop

I'm down in the gutter

But I'm looking up

Dream on

Let me hear you say

It's just the same old

Magnificent day

You never know your luck

In an big town

You never know how much

You can stand

You been cruel, you been kind

And I'm so confused

Maybe it's time, maybe it's time

To bite that hand, to bite that hand

Bite that hand

Dream on

Don't ever stop

I'm down in the gutter

But I'm looking up

Dream on

Let me hear you sing

It's just the same old

Magnificent thing

Dream on, dream on

(Dream on)

Dream on, dream on

Dream on, dream on, dream on

(Don't ever stop)

Dream on, yeah, dream on

Dream on, dream on

(I'm down in the gutter)

Dream on, dream on

Dream on, dream on, dream on

(But I'm looking up)

Dream on, yeah, dream on

Dream on, dream on

(Dream on)

Dream on, dream on

Dream on, dream on, dream on

(Let me hear you say)

Dream on, yeah, dream on

Dream on, dream on

(It's just the same ole)

Dream on, dream on

Dream on, dream on, dream on

(Magnificent day)

Dream on, yeah, dream on

Today you love me, tomorrow you won’t

But I can’t say the words, they are stuck in my throat

But I've got a feeling deep in my bones

I’m gonna do something, that’s all I know

I don’t care about money

And I feel so alive

It’s a long, long way back

To Slieveban Drive

Soldier boy’s watching me walk down the street

Well I couldn’t care less, I got someone to meet

And I’m walking round Andersonstown on a trip

Getting hip

Well I’m gonna die someday, but today isn’t it

When was the last time

The last pill you cried?

It’s a long, long way back

To Slieveban Drive

Nobody told me you reap what you sow

Nobody told me what I need to know

Well I got a feeling, I got a feeling

I got a feeling, I got a feeling

I got a feeling, I got a feeling

I got a feeling, I got a feeling

And I’m down in the city

Feeling empty inside

And it’s a long, long way back

To Slieveban Drive

To Slieveban Drive

Slieveban Drive

Just got paid

I'm stumbling up the street

Out of my head

Still on my feet, yeah

Hey little girl, little girl, little girl

You come out with me?

I know you love somebody else now

What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with me?

I go walking down to Sailortown

And I look at the sea

And the big ships, big ships come sailing in

Maybe this one's for me

It breaks my heart

To see you live this way

Scared of everything

Every single day

I can't sit still, I can't sit still, I can't sit still

There's too much in my head

I've gotta break out of this place somehow

When I'm still young and alive

Still young and alive

I go walking down to Sailortown

And I look at the sea

And the big ships, big ships come sailing in

Maybe this one's for me

Maybe

Maybe

Hey

Hey

Maybe m-maybe

Maybe m-maybe

Maybe m-maybe

Maybe m-maybe

Come on, come on, come on, come on

I go walking down to Sailortown

And I look at the sea

And the big ships, big ships come sailing in

Maybe this one's for me

I go walking down to sailortown

And I look at the sea

And the big ships, big ships come sailing in

Maybe this one's for me

Belfast

How I know you so well

You're like heaven

You're like hell

Times,

Times change

Though the bond

Still remains

I'll be with you

Till the day I die

Till the day I die

Oh yeah

Where did it go?

Oh yeah

Where did it go?

Nights,

Nights when

When the smoke

Filled the air

I remember

I remember well

We

We sang

Cos we just

didn't care

Sing out louder

I will still be there

I will still be there

Oh yeah

Where did it go?

Where did it go?

Yeah

Where did it go?

I lost my job in the Great Depression

I saw what happened to the ones I know

If I go home with nothing in my pocket

Love will surely fly out the window

Tonight, I must get wasted

Oh yeah, I hate to drink alone

Oh yeah, you can put that on my headstone

Oh yeah, I'm not going home till I'm wasted

I lost my job and it's a real hard station

Two steps forward and three steps back

But I don't have any explanation

This is the story, this is the craic

Tonight, I must get wasted

Oh yeah, I hate to drink alone

Oh yeah, you can put that on my headstone

Oh yeah, I'm not going home till I'm wasted

I lost my job, it all went in a minute

Feels like I'm living on borrowed time

I don't wanna end up bitter and twisted

I'm gonna follow this heart of mine

Tonight, I must get wasted

Oh yeah, I hate to drink alone

Oh yeah, you can put that on my headstone

Oh yeah, I'm not going home till I'm wasted

Oh yeah, I hate to drink alone

Oh yeah, you can put that on my headstone

Oh yeah, I'm not going home till I'm wasted

Well the joint was jumping

Somebody pulled my hair

I got myself a drink and then

I saw you there

I saw the way you touched him

I saw the way you kissed

Then you looked straight through me

Just like I don't exist

But I burn so bright

I light up the night

When I make my claim

You'll remember my name

I was a fool to come here

And I don't stand a chance

That's the end of the story

No backward glance

And the street is my good friend

Back up the hill again

I don't know what you call this feeling

But it's a beautiful plain

And I burn so bright

I light up the night

When I make my claim

You'll remember my name

And I burn so bright

I light up the night

When I make my claim

You'll remember my name

Make sure there's a drink for the whole congregation

When they come to my house make sure they are fed

The priest, the grave digger, they all expect something

There's money to pay them under my bed

I hate to say goodbye

I hate it when you cry

I know it's just my time

Free of the chains that always surround me

Free of the worry, free of the pain

You won't understand, I know your heart's breaking

Save all your tears for the ones who remain

I hate to say goodbye

I hate it when you cry

I know it's just my time

Now you'll find out what is important

The days are so short that once seemed so long

The river runs on, it was here long before us

The river will still be here when I'm gone

I hate to say goodbye

I hate it when you cry

I know it's just my time

I hate to say goodbye

I hate it when you cry

I know it's just my time

Something happened to me

And I'm not the same

Something happened to me

Won't happen again

Now the room is spinning

When I close my eyes

No head for the big time

No head for heights

Same as ever

My pain killer

Is killing me

Same as ever

My pain killer

Don't set me free

Same as ever

Same as ever

Coulda been somebody

Coulda been that man

Coulda been somebody

Stead of a bummer which is what I am

You're a soul destroyer

And you do it well

But you make me happy

It's Friday night in Hell

Oh well

Same as ever

My pain killer

Is killing me

Same as ever

My pain killer

Don't set me free

Same as ever

I'm up the river

Same as ever

Same as ever

Same as ever

My pain killer

Is killing me

Same as ever

My pain killer

Don't set me free

Same as ever

Up the river

Pain killer

Pain killer

I watch the sun rise

From the Atlantic sand

I've seen all the whores

And they all leave the band

And now I am down

To my very last dream

And all the time you were here waiting for me

Waiting for me

All the stars are out

In the sky

You're a sight for sore eyes

The heart of the matter

Is seldom discussed

But I gotta tell you

Or I will bust

It's never been easy

And it's just outta reach

I can almost touch it, I can almost believe

I can almost believe

All the stars are out

In the sky

You're a sight for sore eyes

I've given in again

To the thrill of the night

And I'm further away

Every day from the light

And I know, yes I know

What it's all coming from

But I'm only human, I'm just flesh and blood

Just flesh and blood

All the stars are out

In the sky

You're a sight for sore eyes

All the stars are out

In the sky

You're a sight for sore eyes

Up the steps of the station

With a bottle in my hand

Celebrate the celebration

In spite of this land

I've counted the coffins

From the window of despair

I've grown numb to murder

And I'm too drunk, too drunk to care

Somebody's brother, somebody's son

Somebody's jewel, somebody's love

People are people

Your people, our people

Dreaming of peace

In a place where there's none

There's a fire in the valley

There's light from the moon

Shadows are dancing and dancing and dancing

Dancing round my room

A young life is taken

A mother's heart broken

And the dark words of vengeance

Are the only, are the only words spoken

Somebody's brother, somebody's son

Somebody's jewel, somebody's love

People are people

Your people, our people

Dreaming of peace

In a place where there's none

Somebody's brother, somebody's son 

Somebody's jewel, somebody's love 

People, my people

Your people, our people

Dreaming of peace

In a place where there's none

Somebody's brother, somebody's son

Somebody's jewel, somebody's love

People are people

Your people, our people

Dreaming of peace

In a place where there's none

Somebody's brother, somebody's son 

Somebody's jewel, somebody's love 

People, my people

Your people, our people

Dreaming of peace

In a place where there's none

In Banbridge Town, in the County Down

One morning last July

From a boreen green came a sweet colleen,

And she smiled as she passed me by

And she looked so sweet from her two bare feet

To the sheen of her nut-brown hair

Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself

For to see was I really there

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,

Galway to Dublin town,

No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

That I met in the County Down

As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head

And I looked with a feeling rare

Then I said, says I, to a passer-by

"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"

He smiled at me, and he said, says he

"That's the gem of old Ireland's crown,

Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann

She's the Star of the County Down"

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,

Galway to Dublin town,

No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

That I met in the County Down

At the harvest fair, she'll be surely there

And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes

With my shoes shone bright, and my hat cocked right

For a smile from my nut-brown Rose

No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke

Till my plough turns rust-coloured brown

Till a smiling bride by my own fireside

Sits the Star of the County Down

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,

From Galway to Dublin town,

No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

That I met in the County Down

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,

Galway to Dublin town,

No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

That I met in the County Down

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,

Galway to Dublin town,

No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

That I met in the County Down

Well I followed the ocean

And flew across the sky

And I'm so far away now

From the girl with green eyes

Stay away from whiskey

Stay away from gold

Stay away from temptation

But don't stay away from home

And all of these people

Want me to smile

And I'll get what I want, what I want

All that money can buy

Stay away from whiskey

Stay away from gold

Stay away from temptation

But don't stay away from home

Stay away from whiskey

Stay away from gold

Stay away from temptation

But don't stay away from home

Stay away from whiskey

Stay away from gold

Stay away from temptation

But don't, don't stay away

Well I'm just skin and bone

And we live in a house but it's not a home

I've got no place to go

No place to call my own

My head is full of shit

When I wrote that letter, I was pissed

Well, everybody knows

Everybody knows

I'm no angel

I'm no angel

I'm no angel, but I

Could be if I tried

I'm no angel

I'm no angel

I'm no angel, but I

Could be if I tried

Well I'm just curious,

What exactly is it that it does?

I never could say no

I never could say no

I had some, just a little bit

Well I took too much, I feel sick and

Everybody knows 

Everybody knows 

I'm no angel

I'm no angel

I'm no angel, but I

Could be if I tried

I'm no angel

I'm no angel

I'm no angel, but I

Could be if I tried

Coulda sit pretty right up front

If I'd just kept my big mouth shut

It was easy money, it was easy dough

It was easy come, easy go

I should know

I should know

I should know

I should know

I should know

I'm no angel

I'm no angel

I'm no angel, but I

Could be if I tried

I'm no angel

I'm no angel

I'm no angel, but I

Could be if I tried

I'm no angel

I'm no angel
