I’m watching you
All my digital friends
Thank you
For the ones and zeros you send
I’m locked in my room
Find it hard to get out
I love seeing the things you do
But I can’t hear the words from your mouth
When are we going to get together?
When are we going to get together?
Let’s have a party
Play some cards
Dance like we used to
Go out at it hard
Your pixels on my screen
Just suck me in
Sometimes wish I could scream
Release me from within
I’m hooked on your words
All the goodness you share
I could never be so cool
Just going outside
It’s too much to bear
Like Gibson said
It’s in Johnny’s head
Pretty soon we’ll be all walking dead
Are we here?
We’ve been all along
Wired to the music
Of the digital song

Don’t know how it happened
We were on the roof
Over looking azure seas
I don’t know how it happened
The DJ played the song
We were toasting to the night
When the sun started setting
Just the rhythm of our life
I can feel it coming through
I can feel it can you
It’s the rising of a love
Big enough for two
Lets take this to the streets
Lets make it talk and speak
Between the traffic and police
I am one do not delete

I wanna talk about it
I wanna be listened to
I want your attention
I want all of you
There’s something on my mind
It seems for all my life
Someone’s on your mind
Do you think that’s alright
We share all we can
Keep a little inside
It’s as simple as it sounds
All those white lies
Where would be without them
Fighting on the street
We’re not to good for that
Never too good for that

I can hear the wind howl
It’s calling out your name
To shine a light
To shine a light
I spoke to you at the album launch
Congratulations you’re a star now
You turned your head
Said no I am lost
I’m just a lamb to the slaughter
We all want attention
Love and riches
But they can turn you
Into anti hero dicks and bitches
Goes against all our wishes
Wash us out like dirty dishes
There’s a question I have
That can’t be answered
Have it all now
Who knows tomorrow
Then when we are gone
Will there be only sorrow
Don’t be afraid
To speak your name
Shine a light
Shine a light

Got the summer blues
Under slate grey sky
It’s such an empty feeling
I could cry forever
I see such beauty
Rowan trees in fruit out of season
Blood red berries
Birds won’t feed they fly clever
Connections are broken
Time spins down
We lie by the ocean
Watch our skin burn
I’ll try and read a book
Write a letter home
I’m a cacophony of emotion
Can’t make a sound
The waves are lapping
The sun is dipping down
We’ve been slipping
My glass is empty now
Need to fill it up
Tomorrow we go back to Dublin town
Under slate grey sky
