Holy Show

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)

Child of Prague

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

Handsome Wife
04:08
|

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

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

|

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

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

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

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
