Lyrics:

Ode to my familyDolores: "Ya know I spent a long time trying to get out of the home, and get away from that whole parent scenario and be a rebel and stuff. And I did kinda, ya know, run away from home and all that type of thing... against my mother's will and everything... And I think at that point I realized that I really missed them all ya know... I realized how good it was."

Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
'Cause I've spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree

Do you see me? Do you see?
Do you like me? Do you like me standing there?
Do you notice? Do you know?
Do you see me? Do you see me?
Does anyone care?

Unhappiness where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me ,when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me,does anyone care?

Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss
'Cause I liked it. I liked it
When I was out there
Do you know this ? Do you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care?

Unhappiness was when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun, and take it if we can
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me ,when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me,does anyone care?

Does anyone care?

I can't be with you Fergal: "'I Can't Be With You'... it's more of a pop-y kind of song. The message in it is like loneliness when you're on tour and stuff, missing people at home, so I can definitely relate to that."

Lying in my bed again
And i cry cos' you're not here
Crying in my head again
And I know that it's not clear
Put your hands, Put your hands
Inside my face and see that's it's just you
But it's bad and it's mad
And it's making me sad
Because I can't be with you

Baby I can't be with you

Thinking back on how things were
And how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother
Of your child
and now it's just farewell

Put your hands in my hands
And come with me,
We'll find another end
And my head , and my head
On anyone's shoulder
Cause I can't be with you

Baby I can't be with you

Cause you're not here, you're not here
Baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, you're not here
And baby I'm still in love with you

Twenty One
I don't think it's going
To happen anymore
You took my thoughts from me
Now I want nothing more

And did you think you
Could just take it all away

I dont think it s happening
This is what I say

Leave me alone
Cause i found it all
Twenty one

So I don't think it's going
To happen anymore
I don't think it's going
To happen anymore

Twenty one

Today

Twenty one

Zombie Dolores: "'Zombie' was inspired by a child's death. His life was taken in the arm's of his mother. She was shopping in London last year, and there was a bomb planted in a rubbish bin in London and he happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and he died. The reason the bomb was planted was because of a political territorial kind of thing that goes on in the North of Ireland and the UK. So the references to 1916 was when a contract was signed, which signed away the 6 counties to England. And it still goes on today: the war, the deaths, and the injustice."

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken

But You see it's not me,
It s not my family
In your head,in your
Head they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head,
In your head they are cryin'
In your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie

Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head,
In your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks
In your head they are dying

In your head, in your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie

Empty
Something has left my life
And I don't know where it went to
Somebody caused me stripe
And it's not what I was seeking

Didn't you see me, didn't you hear me
Didn't you see me standing there

Why did you turn out the lights
Did you know that I was sleeping

Say a prayer for me
Help to feel the strength I did
My identity has it been taken
Is my heart breaking on me

All my plans fell through my hands
They fell
Through my hands on me
All my dreams it suddenly seems
Empty

Everything I Said
It makes me lonely
It makes me very lonely
When I see you there, waitin'on
It makes me tired, It makes me very tired
And inside of me, lingers on

But you have your heart
Don t believe it, and you will find it
Waitin'on
Everything I said, oh, well I meant it
And inside my head, holdin'on

'Cos if I died tonight
Would you hold my hand, no
Would you understand
And if I lived in spite
Would you still be there, no
Would you disappear

Surely must be you
But I don t make you lonely
I'll get over you
But I don 't make you lonely

The Icicle Melts Fergal: "'The Icicle Melts' is a sad song. You can really feel the sadness in it when you listen to it."

When
When will the icicle melt,
And when
When will the picture show end
I should not have read the papers today
'Cause a child,child he was taken away

There's a place for the baby that died
And there's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometimes
'Cause nine months is too long

How could you hurt a child
Now does this make you satisfied
I don't know what's happening to people today
When a child, he was taken away

There's a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother that cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometimes
'Cause nine months is too long

There's a place for the baby that died
And there's a time for the mother that cried
And you will hold him in your arms sometimes
'Cause nine months is too long

Disappointment
Disappointment you shouldn't have done
You couldn't have done
You wouldn't have done
the things you did there
And we could 've been happy
What a piteous thing, a hideous thing
was tainted by the rest

But it won't get any harder
And I hope you'll find your way again
But it won't get any higher
But it all boils down to what you did there

In the night we fight, I feel you're right
It was exactly there
I decided
and drew you out
In the night we fight, I feel you're right
It was exactly there
I decided

But it won't get any harder
And I hope you'll find your way again
But it won't get any higher
But it all boils down to what you did there

Dissapointment

Ridiculous Thoughts
Twister. Does anyone see through you
You re a twister an animal
But you're happy now
I didn't go along with you
So happy now

But you're going to have to hold on
Hold on
Or we're going to have to move on
Move on

I feel alright
And I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts
I feel alright

Twister. I shouldn't have trusted you
Twister. It's not going to happen no
You re not going to make fun of me
Happen no

But you re going to have to hold on
You re going to have to hold on
Hold on
Or we're going to have to move on
Move on

I feel alright
And I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts
I feel alright

I should have lied
And I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts
I should ha' lied

But you re gonna have to hold on
Hold on
but you're gonna have to hold on to me

Dreaming My Dreams Fergal: "'Dreaming My Dreams' I think is cool. It's like something you would sing to your child before going to bed."

All the things you said to me today
Changed my perspective in every way
These things count to mean
so much to me

Into my faith you
And your baby
It s out there
If you want me
I'll be there
It's out there

I'll be dreaming my dreams
With you
And there's no other places
That I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

It's out there
If you want me,I'll be here
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other places that I'd
lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

Yeat's Grave Dolores: "A tribute to Yeats. W. B. Yeats, he was a poet and playwright."

Silenced by death in the grave
W B Yeats couldn't save
Why did you stand there
'Where you sickened in time
But I know by now
Why did you sit here?
In the grave

W.B. Yeats "Second"

Why should I blame her
That she filled my days
With misery or that she would of late
Have taught to ignorant men violent ways
Or hurled the little street upon the great
Had they but courage
Equals to desire

Sad that Maud Gonne Couldn't stay
But she had Mac Bride anyway
And you sit here with me
On the isle Inisfree

And you writing down everything
But i know by now
Why did you sit here
In the grave...

Why should I blame her
Had they but courage equals to desire

Daffodil Lament Fergal: "I think 'Daffodil Lament' is kind of an epic or something, because it's really a long song; it's all different moods and stuff."

Holding on that's what I do
Since I met you
And it won't be long, would you notice
If I left you
And it's fine for some
Cause you're not the one,

All night long, I laid on my pillow
Theses things are wrong
I can't sleep here
So lonely, so lonely

I have decided to leave you forever
I have decided to start things from here
Thunder and lightning won't change
What I'm feeling

And the daffodils look lovely today

Oh in your eyes I can see the disguise
Oh in your eyes I can see the dismay
Has anyone seen lightning
Has anyone looked lovely

And the daffodils looked lovely today

Looked lovely

No Need to Argue
There 's no need to argue anymore
I gave all I could
But it left me so sore
And the thing that makes me mad
is the one thing that I had

I knew, I knew I'd loose you
You 'll always be special to me

And I remember all the
Things we once shared
Watching TV movies on
the living room armchair

But they say it will work out fine
Was it all a waste of time
Cause I knew, I knew I'd loose you

You 'll always be special to me

Will I forget in time
You said I was on your mind
There 's no need to argue
No need to argue anymore
There 's no need to argue anymore

Special

Away

Turn away, turn away
From me, from me
And I pray, yes I pray
For thee
Another world
Wrapped up inside another place
And I hope, and I pray
That the pain goes away,
Yes I pray
Turn away, turn away
From me, from me
And I pray, yes I pray
For thee

I Don't Need

The world is consuming me
And I don't feel so happy here today
I'm numb and I don't feel and
I used to be a baby in my day

So where is the one you loved?
Did she hold you happy next to her?
And your head hangs lightly
And everyone's slightly drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again
I Don't need to see you, no not now
I Don't need to see you, no not now
My eyes they are hanging now and
My head is on the ground, the ground, the ground
And everyone's so patronising
I don't see when the real things comes around

So where is your mother now
Did she hold you happy next to her
And your head hangs lightly
And everyone's slightly drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again
I Don't need to see you, no not now
I Don't need to see you, no not now
And maybe no work done today, no work done today. No. No. No.
No work done today. No. No. No. No, work done today.

(They Long To Be) Close To You
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you...

Why do stars fall off from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you...

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
They decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And put a starlight in your eyes so blue

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you, all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you...

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you....

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you....

Aah...
Close to you...

So Cold In Ireland

Here is a story
of hope and of glory
He's eighteen years old
and well I fell in love
But after that
where have you gone, from me?
The one that I loved endlessly
We used to have a life
but now it's all gone
Mystify...
Does it have to be so cold in Ireland?
Does it have to be so cold in Ireland for me?
Are they ready for me?
Where have you gone, from me?
The one that I loved endlessly
We were to have a child
Yesterday's gone
Well I knew the time would come
When I'd have to leave

Go on
Look what they've done to me
They've taken my hand
And it's killing me
Killing me, killing me, killing me!
Does it have to be so cold in Ireland?
Does it have to be so cold in Ireland, for me?
Are they ready for me?
But I'm afraid I'm returning to Ireland
I'm afraid I'm returning to Ireland
I see, that there is nothing for me
There is nothing for me
