- All These Feelings
Do you smell the wind in the heather
Can you hear it coming from behind
There’s a breeze coming out of nowhere
There’s a storm that’s growing in my mind
All these feelings, all these feelings
All these feelings, all these feelings
- Bonnie Ship The Diamond
The Diamond is a ship, my lads
For the Davis Strait we're bound
The quay it is all garnished
With bonnie lasses 'round
Captain Thompson gives the order
To sail the ocean wide
Where the sun it never sets, my lads
Nor darkness dims the sky
- Bugger Off
Bugger Off You Bastards
Bugger off you bastards bugger off
Bugger off you bastards bugger off
Like a heard of bloody swine who refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off
You've be a splendid audiance oh my time has past
- Captain Song
Folks I tell you 'bout a story
It's a story 'bout tragedy
The boy was young and he roved a lot
Trying to stand on his own feet
He came upon some women some were good to go
They made him feel like king
The king of pleasure, man, he seemed to be
- Empty Pockets, Empty Fridge
The Day was Crap, i hing around and was feeling lonely
Empty Pockets,Empty Fridge, didn't know just what to do
My breath smelled like a Cigarette Butt,unshaved,my hair was greasy
Headache from the Night before, couldn't Remember anything
Last Night it was Saturday, I sat around, you passed my Way
I've had my problems anyway, just Hide
But now I've got to get away, you sit around and scream allday
- Folk's Not Dead
Those days
We mooched around counting girls go by
We wasted the time and let the sun shine
Those days we hung out with friends
And so we dirted our face but now we rise up again
These days
We’ve reached the top of the stage facing good times
- Goldwatch Blues
I went up for my interview on the fourth day of July
Personnel man he questioned me until I nearly cried
Made me fill in forms, until I shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin's queer
He asked me how many jobs I had before
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered: four!
Four jobs in twenty years, oh this could never be
- Highland Road
Fife was a shadow across the Forth as the Granton boat pulled out
Over the sea and the solid earth the mist lay all about
And a rising wind from the Isle of May o'er the ruffled waters strode
And blew us a clear October day to ride on the Highland Road
There's a winding road from Glenfarg to the mouth of the river Tay
The mountains beckon beyond Dunkeld to lead us on our way
Now Killicrankie's famous Pass, a battle lost and won
- I Wont Follow You Up To Carlow
Lift Mac Cahir Og your face brooding o'er the old disgrace
that black Fitz-William stormed your place and drove you to the Fern
Grey said victory was sure soon the firebrand he'd secure
until he met at Glen Malure Feach Mac Hugh O'Byrne
But me I'm sick and tired of hate I'll never use a sword or blade
and when I hear the beating drum I'll sing a song of peace
my hands be not a dashing fist I won't put my name on your list
- I'm Here Because I'm Here
Here I am amongst you and I'm here
Because I'm Here
I'm only one year older than I was
This time last year
Early to rise makes man wise,
This I don't think true
Sure how the hell can a man go to bed
- Kiss U Miss U
Kiss U Miss U
Alone with you, there comes a time that makes the change
A change deep down inside of me
Once I was blind, now every sense crawls back to life
- Life Full of Pain
He had a life full of pain, lived a life full of hope
Stayed in bars drinking jars of Irish whiskey on the run
In a world full of tears, in a world of mistrust
He just lived on borrowed time and wasted all these precious years
Another day of agony, another night in hell
He hit the bottom of the barrel, saced by the bell
They grabbed him, they punched him, they slapped him in the face
- Lost To The Moon
Violet's back in her garden again
The sun in her eyes, she walks in beauty
Like the night
Fog lies heavy on the ground
Shadows swirling round
Sky turns black
Clock says noon
- Lukey
Well oh, Lukey's boat is painted green,
Ha, me boys!
Lukey's boat is painted green,
The prettiest boat that you've ever seen,
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
Well oh, Lukey's boat's got a fine fore cuddy,
- Mrs. Mcgrath
"Mrs McGraw," the seargent said,
"would you like a soldier
Of your son, Ted?
With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat,
Mrs Mcgraw wouldn't you like that? "
With me too-rye-ay
Foddle-diddle-day
- Salonica
Oh my husband's in Salonika and I wonder if he's dead
I wonder if he knows he has got a kid with a foxy head
And when the war is over, what will the slackers do?
They'll be around the soldiers for the loan of a bob or two
So right away, so right away
So right away, Salonika
Right away, my soldier boy
- Shut Up And Dance
Get up you little bastard, cheat me for a while
Pretend that you still love me and show me how you smile
Love is like a riddle, we're looking for the key
come on, you little bastard, lean on me.
Sometimes I feel like running from your tainted kiss
Cause when I'm not beside of you, your kisses I won't miss
So tell me what you want of me, I see it from a far
cause anything is better than a northern star.
- Sporting Day
They come from all around
To celebrate the fair in town
They stand together in their teams
It's passion for the games
They closed the Shannon bridge today
Much traffic at Tinarana Bay
The best athletes of county Clare
Are gathered in this place
- Tangerine
It’s been so many days,
so many nights,
so many people
I wanna see the sky
like a child with eyes
that don’t ask why
- Wall Of Folk
Free your mind - do not hide
Take a ride - it's the wall of folk, yeah
It's your time - stay in line
Choose a side - it's the wall of folk, yeah
Take step - to the left
To the right - it's the wall of folk, yeah
- When Will We Be Married
When will we be married Molly

When will we be
bedded in the same bed
When will we be married Molly
when will we be wed
When will we be
bedded in the same bed
