Holy Show 03:42
I'm still a baby If you're still waiting outside I've got your eyes and cheeks in front of me Filling the space between my thighs I'll roll you up and crack you open We look like a couple of teens Just hanging back and holy ghosting Apologise and leave If you remember a thing about it Tell me that it's not bad Why'd I even say that? If you remember a thing that I said Spare me all the details Send me on your regales If you remember a thing about it Show me on the playback Why'd I even say that? I don't remember a thing I'm sure you hate it I'd say they can't believe their eyes Look what this mouth and teeth have gotten me A bite of someone else's night Just pulling up and barely knowing You shouldn't have to repeat Tonight we'll watch a holy showing A silent short starring me Oh it’s the last time I’ll be your sorry sight You’ll have these hollow bites to chew Oh its a gas night ‘til I’ve to fortify Shore up and purify my room (I’m still a baby, if you’re still waiting outside Tonight we’ll watch a holy showing)

I'm sitting on a fortune, don't you know? You ruined it by leaving me outside in the snow Now my head’s in the ground, my neck is weak Do us all a favour and forget how to speak I’m not going If you're not with me I'm not going Cover me kindness cover me in sand A lover or appendix or a whole new strand I wanted clearance, a release Need you to tell me I'm a masterpiece I’m not going If you're not with me I’m not going Leaving me out on my own Leaving me out in the snow Leaving me out on my own Leaving me out

Falling for and far tonight You and yours and my handsome wife That divil just went and stole the show So I’m letting every gold hair grow Nothing like a kiss goodnight It tastes like ‘til the day I die Oh I wish I could have known I’m the one that never gets old This sore sad city never skips a beat While I'm sitting sweet in the passenger seat Going home and growing strong The silence is so soft I’m gonna be free I was young and I was honest Me and all your father’s daughters Laid beside the tide to take us Kissed the bride and fought your favours I may not be the wife you want But I’m pregnant with the virgin tongue Pave the way for calm to come With all the pace of Sundays gone It’s too bad surely to admit defeat With these hands so neat between my teeth ‘Til the right man comes along, singing the right song But when the right man comes along, singing the right song It’s gonna be me

HowDoILook 05:13
It took a while but I don't mind How does my body look in this light? It took a while but I don't mind How do I look now, how do I look now? I've stopped my thoughts, It's the only way of keeping sensations from creeping up on me And crushing whatever's keeping me going I just can't let my mind wander It always takes a dodgy street and I get nervous And just retreat But this is slowly killing me This is slowly destroying me This is slowly decaying me But I am home now, I can let myself fall Maybe I'd expected more or it was just my lack of vision But after years this 4x4 just wasn't as I had imagined And your head is on my pen, is on my bed It's hard to right your wrongs But you won't admit your flaws And oh God they're beautiful But this is slowly killing me This is slowly destroying me This is slowly decaying me But I am home now, I can let myself fall

Liffey 04:19
I’d love to start it again I wish you would Follow the word and Save some face with something good I’ve not seen what the worst could be but the hurt can’t be this much Another chance to find your feet or cut them off Someday you will have my head You will have my head on a silver plate Someday you will have my head You will have my head on a silver plate Oh spread me over the Liffey and sing me off to sleep I wanna take you with me to wash and dry your feet God give me glory, or don't I’ll take my lot Just start the show and Cement your feet and take the jump They say call off the last call We’ve only had a sup Don’t do it Daddy I can see we’ve had enough

A Dog's Life 03:10
I do what I like but I’m living off scraps There’s a freedom in needing In The Garden of Eden We’re so fucking gorgeous While we’re building our shacks There’s a freedom in needing We’re about to collapse I know I’m a chancer It’s part of the charm I’m so fucking handsome Built to disarm It’s a dog’s life Hunger and ease It’s a dog’s life We take what we need It’s a dog’s life Living off scraps A dog’s life (Slip through the cracks) We’ve an unwillingness to Give up and fail & fade We’re just belligerent fools Whose future’s made From sand and stone and Mortar and bricks It’s a dog’s life and I’m Burning both wicks We dream: of self sufficiency We lean: a collective deficiency We need: a whole new space to roam We breed: here’s your life without a home

Gay Girls 04:25
Holy are we Got a fright by the sight of my old self I'll decide while I ride on your coat tails If I'll hide or delight in your company I was a fool Laid out in front of you I was a fool, thank you I was a fool, thank you Well I wont worry about the gay girls I pray for them when I wring my hands Marie, Marie, Maria Tell me where to find you when I lose my way Only a week Savour me something sweet on your mind Do you want to be on the cheek of a liar That roots for you? Roots for you? I spent the whole night Belly aching about a fire sign I spent the whole night, thank you I spent the whole night, thank you I spent the whole night, thank you Thank you, thank you

Harvey 04:50
I was dreaming of you last night I was floating ten feet off the floor Such a sucker for a sore sight Someone save me from savouring the pure Well I hardly, hardly, hardly had my foot in the door Before my heart beat started You’ll only wanna see me more Oh Harvey how could I hate you? You got me weak at the knees I hope that every party sees you adjacent Placing your eyes on me There’s a safety in a soft sun Not expected to fill up a room I’ve been leaning on a sharp tongue Slowly hits but it quickly consumes Well I can’t be, can’t be Can’t be always waiting my turn If you had me, to hold me You’ll only want to see me burn I won’t sleep ‘til the leaves are on the trees I thought about it until late last night And if the rain don’t rest I’ll just get myself undressed Roll around the road like it’s a king size bed (Now let’s get back to my)

Brothers 03:52
So sorry since we hit eighteen I've been really coming up short Here's hoping I can keep you, please Not another one reposing in dirt So teary eyed, I'm you and you are me How long can we stare at this TV screen? Here we are, not ready to go to sleep In awe of this beauty in front of me There goes the man I want to be I love my brothers and my brothers love me Hold up your hands, shoulder the weak I love my brothers and my brothers love me All lined up like the losing team Holding up our bodies for sport Heavy now but the weight depletes Now we're saving up our pennies for more Well hear me out, I can't do anything Piss poor excuse for a lynch pin Another loss, we'll call it a win Hands up for the kings of the spin So wide Good grief it looks we're the last of our kind I'm tired, you're tired You're worse, I'm fine A kiss so cold, I can't stop crying

Donaghmede 05:39
Stay for a week In sunny Donaghmede with me Sleep when we’re dead With the boys in the bed up all night Then he gets in for a swim ‘cause the water’s good for him And the light is a knife and it cuts right through your eyes Stay for a week In sunny Donaghmede with me Maybe I won’t fold up so cold, I won’t Every memory I retrieve I believe is good for me When will we learn it’s his burn that we just can’t taste no more Stay, stay, stay ‘Cause I feel so safe In the warm embrace of the northern bay Stay, stay, stay ‘Cause I think you’re safe In the warm embrace of the northern bay Stay, stay, stay ‘Cause I think we’re safe In the warm embrace of the northern bay
