Lyric writing, making music and the creative process
I’m losing my mind
thinking about you
The shape of your lips
your heart so true
The color of your skin
your love of the sun
the push of your hips
Click your fingers I’ll come
You know I’ll come
I’m a lucky boy
to fly by your side
to listen to your breathing
to feel our worlds collide
I’m losing my mind
wanting to have you
I’m watching from afar
You needed something new

Bad dream baby
Sleep tight
Like a gypsy
With a fragile glass heart
All the puzzles are real
The pieces connect
You just don’t see
Why you keep them apart
So dream on
You’re not crazy
Just a heart
Of fragile glass
Find an open window
Make your escape
Show your true colors
Don’t leave it too late
The only way out
Is to make yourself true
And the only true way
Is to make you you

Filthy lucre
Silver and gold
Whatever you want
Sell your soul
Fast cars and diamonds
Mansions in the hills
Overlooking crystal waters
Savour all your sins
In your eyes
Cold as ice
Make the deal
Don’t think twice
No love lost
Nothing given
Money is your God
Money is your devil
Custom built
Rolled in filth
Private jet
You never sweat
Except when you’re down
And Mama’s good
She sells you love
Like push and shove
You bleed green back blood
If you could you know you would
The kids won’t do
What they should
Too much time and money honey

Back in the day
When the sun shone forever
I waited for you
By the sparkling river
It was our place
Turn the radio on
We’re all grown up
Now those days are gone
Sometimes I remember
Touching your skin so tender
Wild honey on the breeze
Where are we now
Where are we
I took a job in London
Left you there in Dublin
We could have been so happy
If I’d asked you to save me
Then you had a baby
Found another lover
We’re all grown up
Now those days are gone
I’m waiting for you
By the sparkling river
Sometimes I remember
Your skin so tender
Put my headphones on
Playing seasons in the sun

Heart so big it hurts
Eyes so wide it’s worse
You see and feel the pain
Of everyone you know
We’ll sing a song for you
Even though you’re not here
There’s something we want you to know
You’re part of this and part of us
How could we forget
When you ran all day for us
We’ll do the same for you
Until you’re with us by our side
You’re part of this
And part of us
Heart so big and eyes so wide
A smile to give or tears to cry
It’s better that way
You feel part of life
Someone who knows
The highs and the lows
Darkness and the light
The battles and the fight
The wrongs and the rights
Out of mind out of sight
The long and short throw
The seconds and the blows
The Rooks from the Crows
The sleet and the snows
The heat and the cold
The plays and the shows
An actor all alone
Speaking of a truth
The naivety of youth
The stupid and the cute
The strings on the bow
Like a heart so big and slow

We fight a lot
Because we are the same
Everything is right
In its right place
So what’ve we got
At the end of the game
A loser or a winner
Tears on our face
Don’t let them fall
It’s nothing only wasted time
Stand yourself up tall
You’re one of a kind
When I need you most
Your heart is gone astray
How can I get you back
We can start again yesterday
Is this what love is
A constant push and shove
Constant release attack
Constant blue on black
No, we’re too good for that
We’re way too good for that

Lying in the long grass
Running barefoot in the sand
Feel the warm breeze kiss your cheek
Don’t let go of my hand
We dive in under waves
Burst through to the other side
The stones just glistening in the sun
Waiting to save someone
It’s just another beautiful day
Moments fly seconds away
It’s just another beautiful day
Moments fly a favourite dream
We’re the cats who got the cream
We’re the cats in between
We’re the cats digging this scene
We’re the cats hear us scream

Life is a bird song
Life is so broken
But it’s so perfect
Like a Japanese cup
You’re the gold in the cracks
We’ve been mistaken

She’s gone gone gone
Won’t be coming home
Left me for another guy
Didn’t even say goodbye
I asked myself why why why
Won’t she be coming home
What did I do so wrong
I thought we were so strong
Now I’m hurt, hurt hurt
She’s not coming home
I just sit here all alone
Trying to cry cry cry
If I had another chance
I wouldn’t change a single thing
I’d buy her that diamond ring
I’d love her just as much
I gave her all I got
I know it’s not a lot
And now she’s found another guy
To give her all she’s dreamed about
Well I just can’t compete with gold
I guess her hearts been sold
Now I’m hurt, hurt hurt
She’s not coming home

Are you my enemy
Are you my friend
We cross the white line
We fight fight fight until the end
If you win or lose
How you gonna take it
With a smile on your face
Or are you gonna fake it
We are kings
If you believe we bleed the same blood
We are kings
Now we see no one wins in the end
Who makes a speech on your wedding day
All of what you seek is just a step away
