On Whiterock beach
Now the parties over
It always feels coldest
Just as the sun rises
We don’t say much now
Just lean on each other
You’re still so high
Always were the wildest
We’re just wasting time
Waiting for the sun to rise
Kicking sand and breaking hearts
These are the best days of our lives
We go out in Dublin Town
Secondhand shopping on Chatham Street
Lost in a crowd but we’re together
Touch your hand and smile for you
There’s a thunderstorm hanging
Dark clouds over
Feel the ions
Moving through the air
Look on the straights with pity
Never be one of the greys
We’re connected we’re special
So special today’s our day

We like living life
Like there’s no tomorrow
What’s wrong with that
We stay out all night
We can sleep tomorrow
What’s wrong with that
We’re walking on these streets
We own the the ground beneath
We know we won’t be beat
We are brothers and blood runs deep
Down at the corner shop
Where the papers dropped
We eat all we got
Sweet cakes at the bus stop
Swimming down at the cove
We could only dip our toes
Water still sea cold
Sea cold sea cold

It’s a dream of mine
To do something good
That’s recognised
That’s understood
To belong to everyone
Kept in their hearts
To belong to someone
That would be a start
I lost my confidence
A long time ago
Watched love drain away
On the bathroom floor
It’s taken me so much time
To remember to forget
So I could grow up at last
At least I’m knocking on the door
So let me in
Don’t push me away
I’m here to help you
Won’t you listen to what I say
It’s a dream
Do something good
Give all you have
Give a little love
I’m knocking at your door
Won’t you let me in

I’m saying things
You want to hear
To keep the peace
To ease your fear
It’s hard to face
The failing light
While tomorrow waits
Like a faithful wife
I’m with her
Not with you now
There is no guilt
No loss no faith
I can speak
You hear my voice
Though I can’t say
What’s on my mind
I might wake
With you there
By my side
All is fine

I took a train to London
I was lost in the suburbs
My friends sisters house
Party all night long
I know she’s older than me
I know she likes me just like I like her
So why don’t we
Just get together
See what happens
We don’t need to worry
What they gonna say
I couldn’t care less
If we are a success
We can just forget the rest
I know where to find you
Every Friday night
Working down on Greek Street
Until the morning light
I wear your perfume
To remember you today
Take the tube to work
Everybody asks am I Okay
You love your food and wine
Like to travel fine
We could go to Paris
Take a break take some time
