Row row row your boat gently down the stream
merily merily merily merily life is but a dream
Row row row your boat gently down the stream
all the way to the river, to the lough then the open sea
till all that you can see is sea

Love Like Mariana
03:49

my girl is a beautiful girl
she’s a complex girl
she’s everything good in the world
she’s a feral girl with dirt on her feet and twigs in her hair
she doesn’t really care yeah
she’s got claws but not for fighting
she can climb a tree any height and she can
sing and dance and paint and sail yeah
i feel her heart beating out of her chest
she’s causing a tsunami in my blood stream
but its making me feel like im at my best
look look, im tapping my feet to the words she speaks
she’s speaking earth fire and water
a dedicated lover , adorable daughter, sister and a friend
sometimes in the night when i fall asleep i think she gets up and goes rambling
deep in the forest in her bare feet
running with the wild dear, fairies ,round ancient roots while eating berries
and she’s back for breakfast unbeknownst to me
as if its been a wild nights dreamin
i give her a stare
she doesn’t know i see the twigs in her hair
anyway, me and the feral girl decide to steal an old boat
and row row row way way out
until we couldn’t see belfast anymore
were just drifting
me and the feral girl got lost at sea and we’re just drift
but we’re happy
we got everything we need
we got fish and rainwater
sun, moon and each other
where will the current take us?
does god even know?
maybe he’l be busy and he’l get his ma mother nature
to take control
theres a storm coming we can see it on the horizon
we’re gonna baton the hatches and meditate on surviving
and so you barrel roll from side to side life doesn’t let up your born you die
and it ain’t all smooth sailin
it aint all smooth sailing
but i can tell ya
a companion to help you with the ropes in a storm is always good
a companion to help you with the ropes in a storm is always good
me and the feral girl adrift tonight
all we see is sea but thats alright
me and the feral girl adrift tonight
we love like mariana till we die
me and the feral girl adrift tonight
we love like mariana till we die

Uncharted waters, yeah for all the sons and daughters
we don’t know how deep or what lurks beneath ..
this million year monster, maybe troves of treasure yeah!!
Kracken don’t pull me down
what comes next? lets dive, don’t die
lets catch the lovely creatures
it depends, don’t rock the boat, lets vote ,
lets put it to the people, no thats a bad plan, we’ll tell them what is what then we’ll tell them something different , and something different again
kraken don’t pull me down
no news out here, just bliss, yeah we’re floating in our ignorance, we wish the world the best and were trying not to get depressed but you know how hard that is
kraken dont pull pull me down
hush, the enemy is coming but there’s no such thing as running, wait until its dark to set the sails
and even then you might be waiting on the breeze, wishin on some trees like a partisan living off the land
kraken dont pull me down
im only messing, we’ll be absolutely fine
the way we were before we were lost out here
welcome to the doldrums, the dull drums, the no drums!
get me back to land to smash the bongos and let go, grab hold
of something new, something blue, something old something good yeah
kraken don’t pull me down
my phone died long ago, gonna have to use the stars to get home, ah shit.
i never learned to navigate that way
im locked down, im shut up, im side ways
just tryna see the end so i can get new strings for my guitar

Lovely Human
03:30
|

bet you wonder where you are?
hard to know at all when
the world is spinning like crazy
try to find your favourite star
trace a line from there
and you know that your going the right way
try to settle, breath, its hard
there is no text book tell me teaching me what am i ,
what im supposed to be
and when i look around everyone seems to know what they’re at
are they actors?
but the truth is we all feel a little lost sometimes
its alright you lovely human, all we can do is try
bet you wonder where you are ?
hard to know at all when
the world is spinning like crazy
try to find your favourite star
trace a line from there
and you know that your going the right way
bet you wonder now how far
counting every minute every hour and ever day
try to settle, breath, its hard
and people running round working their whole life
head down hands are bleeding
don’t miss the small things laugh with your lovers and fool around,
yeah exactly
but the truth is this whole world can break you in two
its alright you lovely human, just you do you
You’ve got everything you need

Head On The Emerald Isle
03:35
|
|||
How are you?
he asked me
and I started to think
what I really wanted to be
all of a sudden I was analysing
I was dreaming
restarting and believing
my heart is in the atlantic
but my head is on the emerald isle
my desire has become something new
yes im gonna travel one million miles
the stress of west
how daunting is change
relying on your confidence
sometimes its nowhere to be seen
were all running around
with such weight on our shoulders
were drifting and we miss the view
were so far out its not good
my heart is in the atlantic
but my head is on the emerald isle
my desire has become something new
yes im gonna travel one million miles
you'll feel a lot better if ya embrace the seasons of change
you gotta write it down my friend
your intetions on that page
set it in stone, start the motion
you'll be ready to go
ready to go
my heart is in the atlantic
but my head is on the emerald isle
my desire has become something new
yes im gonna travel one million miles

Who the ffffffff
put you in charge?
I wanna buy my vegetables off someone else
you convince all the people with that big fat finger
and now all the people have a head ache and a tooth ache and a belly ache
wheres the honest farmers?
Wheres the honest leaders?
Your clan aint got no brains
riding on the lazy trains
we actually all the same
in that we all need vegetables
we all need something good
we all need no lies
we all need clear resolve
or else were all gonna have to hide
wheres the honest farmers?
Wheres the honest leaders?
Are they scared to take the job
protecting their own crops
catholics like vegetables
protestants like vegetables
islamics like vegetables
and muslims like vegetables
everyone likes fucking vegetables
capitalist vegetarians
communist veterinarians
socialist vegetarians
whatever vegetarians
we all need honest vegetables

Synth At The Bus Stop
03:21
|
|||
i decided to start a band
so i got the bus into town
i went to my favourite junk shop
you’ll never guess what i found
i found the most fantastic synthesiser in the world
so i bartered the man down down right down
i got it for ten pounds
i was so excited to get home
i rushed to the bus stop
and i waited
and then i got on the bus and i got right home
but i left the fucking synthesiser at the bus stop
ahhhhhh
so i got home and i was very very sad
i was just sitting looking out the window
and then the telephone rang
it was somebody about the add
this girl, she wanted to join the band
so i said ok, what do you play
she says the synthesiser and i say oh
i guess thats cool cause i could just play the guitar
so we organise our first band practice
she turns up, looking all cool
and she has this box
and she opens the box
and i can’t believe it
its the synthesiser from the bus stop
ahhh
i love the synthesiser yeah!!!

Gay Blue Alien
03:12

If theres something wrong youre better off saying
get it off your chest and
dont bottle it up it will make you insane
you find out the hard way
is there somethin that your not saying
a notion is just blood in the waves
oh my baby boy let it go
this compass made of skin is saying so
If theres something wrong youre better off saying
get it off your chest and
dont bottle it up it will make you insane
God know how much weve lied
he knows how much youve cried
now your a bitter sour broken heart
and thats not what you really are
tell them before you die
tell them that you wanna kiss the sky
but you feel alien and blue
so your singing this song that helps get you
If theres something wrong youre better off saying
get it off your chest and
surley we didnt come this far in love
respect our journey and say what is on your mind today
5 4 3 2 1 blast off
If theres something wrong youre better off saying
get it off your chest and
dont bottle it up it will make you insane
you find out the hard way

Meet You In The Meadow
03:47
|
|||
Today is a place I didn't mean to end up
thumbing a lift in the dark and I cant see the way
but for some reason im ok without knowing where im going tonight
for some reason
this poor weather cycle has frozen her wings
in depths of the winter she'll find warmth if she sings
its hard to stay positive when I see her this way
but this pain it moves in centuries, sometimes seconds, sometimes days
back in this dream
I will wait for you
in the meadow of the unknown
her arms open wide
mother nature sings
it is good to be alive
if your in a place you didn't mean to end up
throw away your clock
and relish in the trees
cover your eyes
to heighten all scenes
and then you'll hear her sing
