Got off the bus today
Walking down
Walking down by Eden quay
You looked like you were on your way
Heading up to Stephen's Green
You took my
Hand and said
Let's go somewhere that you've never been
It's all good
Is what you said to me
Is what you said and then you sang a song
Get in the rain and say
Dublin Dublin
Getting by everyday
Carry on strugglin'
No matter what they say
This is what we're livin' in
Get in the rain and say
Dublin Dublin
Walked down by the river and stopped at Liffey Bridge
Saw a leprechaun
He was singing along
Had a song
Light it up
Lick it down
Then you pass it around
Can you taste it
Mmm mhh
It's all good
Is what he said to me
Is what he said
And then he sang a song
Get in the rain and say
Dublin Dublin
Getting by every day
Carry on strugglin'
No matter what they say
This is what we're livin' in
Get in the rain and say
Dublin Dublin
Oooooh oooh ooooh oooh oh no
Ooooh oooh oooh oooh no no
Ooooh oooh oooh oooh oh no
Ooooh oooh ooooh
Get in the rain and get in the rain and
Dublin and Dublin
Getting by and getting and
Carry on strugglin'
No matter what they

This is what we're livin' in
Get in the rain and
Get in the rain and say

You Remind Me
02:35
|
|||
Sometimes it gets so dark
That I forget
That there's a sun out there
Oh
Somewhere out there
And sometimes when the storm clouds gather
I lose myself in misery
Oh
Somewhere out there
But then the thought of your eyes
So blue reminds me that
There's a sky over yonder
And the thought of your smile
Your lips do tell me
It get's better after a while
Oh you remind me
That there's a place
That's always warm
Oh you remind me
That there's a place
Where the sun always shines
In your eyes
in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

Still
05:30
|

Could you turn up that instrumental a bit
Open your eyes and see it through
Stop with the lies and tell the truth
Does it happen to you too
Does it happen to you
You too
That time stands still
Time stands still
Time stands still
Time stands still
Time stands still
Time stands still
Still
So don't fight it
Tu n'es comprendas jamais
Don't fight it
Je sais que t'en auras jamais assez
Don't fight it
On peut jamais parler
Don't fight it
Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés
It's almost written in the stars
Through the galaxy from Jupiter to Mars
So don't fight it
Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés
Don't fight it
I'm talking to you
Time stands still
Time stands still
Time stands still
Time stands still
Still
Time stands still
Je sais que t'en auras jamais assez
Time stands still
On peut jamais parler
Time stands still
Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés
Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés
So don't fight it
I'm talking to you
Don't fight it
I'm talking to you
Don't fight it
I'm talking to you
Don't fight it
I'm talking to you
It's almost written in the stars
Through the galaxy from Jupiter to Mars
So don't fight it
Don't fight it
Time stands still
On peut jamais parler
Time stands still
Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés
Time stands still
Je sais que t'en auras jamais assez
Still
Tu n'es comprendas jamais
Time stands still
Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés
Time stands still

Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés
Time stands still

Je sais que t'en auras jamais assez

Soul Love
04:59
|
|||
You know I'm not a saint
Coz we've been friends far too long
You know as well as I do
It's always gone so wrong
The wrong place
The wrong time
The wrong city
Wrong state of mind
The wrong kind of people
But I just can't get you off my mind
Chii chakadzamasorudo
Kusimba kana kukura sorudo
Chii chinorapa sorudo
Chinozorodza pfungwa so rudo
Nyangwe zviome sei
Zvikone sei
Zvirambe sei
Umomoterwe sei hona shamwari hapana
Chinogadzikisa hana sorudo
Chinosesedza marwadzo sorudo
Maybe you know
That this is how it is and maybe you do
But maybe you don't
Maybe you don't
So listen to me catch me
Won't you catch me with your soul love
I'm spinning falling down love
I'm crashing to the ground love
I'm crashing to the ground
Said maybe you know
That this is how it is and maybe you do
But maybe you don't
Maybe you don't
So listen to me catch me
Won't you catch me with your soul love
I'm spinning falling down love
I'm crashing to the ground love
I'm crashing to the ground
I'd like these words to flow
Right through your mind just like
Just like a waterfall into your heart
And then
And then start sinking in
Go even deeper then
And find a place within
I said I
I'd like these
I'd like these words to flow
Right through your mind just like
Just like a waterfall into your heart
And then
And then start sinking in
Go even deeper then
And find a place within
And call it home
And call it home
And call it home
And call it home

Confession
03:47
|
|||
Unintentional confession to
My addiction to the feel of your hands
Brushing against my skin
Find it funny how
This started that night you called me and we went on a limb
The makings of a dream
Laughter fills the air
When you are near
Speak your mind I love how you just don't care
If anyone is there
Unconditional confession to
My addiction to the sound of your voice
A perfect note that rings
The makings of a dream
A song that only you and I can sing
Find it funny how this started
That night you called me and we went on a limb
Find it funny how
This started that night you called me and we started this dream
A perfect note that rings
The makings of a dream
A song that only you and I can sing

There Were Times
03:10
|
|||
Then there were times
When we saw not eye to eye
We'd hide our heads in the sand
And pretend we weren't in love
With our tails in the air
You'd think that we didn't care
Then there were nights
When we fought like cat and dog
We used to grill our hearts to cinders
We were callous you and I
With out tails in the air
Once upon a time there were times
From hearts poisoned by anger
Words were thrown
Taking us further from a place where forever was owned
You can't allow pride to sit at the thrown especially when
You have a vision of building a home
Remembered only memories of the hurting and pain
Scratching my brain trying to find the words to explain
We're ordinary people expecting the world from each other
Standing in fragments of the promises we made to each other
Could it be that we listened to the rats and snakes
Who use their good intentions to mask their hate
So we built our realities on false reports
I understand why many file for divorce in court
But through the tempest
We never chose to be free
Broken mirrors revealing what we could grow to be
Without you life is a beautiful sunset to a blind man
That's all I have so I just left it all in time's hands
And time stands as the healer of wounds
Embers of our early love kill the chill in the room
It's all ups and downs and smiles and frowns as we get ourselves back onto solid ground
It's all ups and downs and smiles and frowns as we get ourselves back onto solid ground
And there were times
Then there were times
When we felt like making love
But we would sleep with backs facing opposite sides
With tears in our eyes and lumps in our throats there were times
Yes there were nights
When we felt like making love
But we would sleep with backs facing opposite sides
With tears in our eyes and lumps in our throats
There were times
There were times
There were times

Before You Wake
02:01
|
|||
Good morning my love
You look beautiful
Your hair is a mess and you must be sleeping still
But before you wake I thought I'd open my heart
As the sun rays blaze there's things I can't say to your face
Like you drive me up the wall sometimes with things you say that cut me to the core
But I think there's something wrong
Somehow your stubbornness just makes me want you more
Tell me I'm not being crazy
You're driving me nuts but I keep wanting more
Maybe you're just amazing
Or I'm just a freak who likes it when you're cold to me
Are you listening
Are you awake
Are you sleeping
Because I like you anyway
Can you me hear me
Are you awake
Am I dreaming
Because I like you anyway

Over Again
03:41
|
|||
Have you ever seen anything
Worse than heart strings being stretched too thin
The pictures in this magazine
Tell of a scene that's just gone too far
The autumn leaves are scattered all around
Love has lost its colour and its sound
The autumn leaves are scattered all around
And love has lost its colour and its sound
A winter wind came rolling in and that is when it all began
We braved the cold held on and told each other we would care again
The seasons changed and spring became the summer rain we tried again
A thousand thunderstorms of our demise we lied again
Ohh
Over and over again
Ohhh
It's over it's over again
Ohhh
Over and over again
Ohhh
It's over again
Oooh
Over and over again
Oh
It's over it's over again
Over and over again
Oh
The autumn leaves are scattered all around
Love has lost its colour and its sounds
The autumn leaves are scattered all around
And love has lost its colour and its sound

Dragons
04:20
|
|||
I've got two dragons in my heart
And they're both afraid of the dark
So they lit a fire within my heart
If only it would disappear
If only it could disappear
Then I would be able to stop loving you
And the hurting stops
And the hurting stops
And the hurting stops
I've got a song in my head
And it has been there since the day that I saw you
And as long as it sings I can't stop loving you
If only it would disappear
If only it could disappear
Then I would be able to stop loving you
And the hurting stops
And the hurting stops
And the hurting stops
Said that I've got a wound on my knee
And it has been there since the day that I fell
I fell on my knees right in front of you
If only it could disappear
If only it would disappear
Then I would be able to stop loving you
And the hurting stops
And the hurting stops
And the hurting stops
