biz dinners and the free champagne Men in suits who think they know it all No one knows me but they know my name That's not Real to Me Hotel Lobby to the aeroplane Another country but they start to look the same Watch the world behind a window pane That's not real to me When I see my babies run When all the madness has been and gone I raise my family and live in peace Now that's what real to me real to me
Dying flowers in a dressing room A dangerous time to let your head make up it own mind Got me thinking that the spirits flown That's not real to me When I see my babies run When all the madness has been and gone I raise my family and live in peace Now that's what real to me Picnics in the garden and the children they can play The first day of that summer And I laze here all the day Then we'll invite the family round and drink some English tea Then I raise up my finger And watch football on TV
Now that's what real to me When I see my babies run When all the madness has been and gone I raise my family and live in peace Now that's what's real to me that's what's real to me Real to me Wake up you might be dreamin' Wake up you might be dreamin' now
I was born in the heart of Dublin To a holy book full of rules Made get on our knees every Sunday with the other fools We were warped by the Christian Brothers In the cell blocks at our schools Get a hand print on your skin From a club of jewels Go hit me now That I'm twice your size We brushed off the accusations And bowed before your lies This is the city that raised me With the religion they gave me Now I'm old enough to know my own mind But it was leaving that saved me I've seen so much that has changed me So just break with your past Feed your own mind Cos this Irish son has moved with the times
Weddings deaths and baptizing children That's my debt paid to the church I don't need that kind of salvation When I get hurt Don't fill my head with sermons And force me to believe This is the city that raised me With the religion they gave me Now I'm old enough to know my own mind But it was leaving that saved me I've seen so much that has changed me So just break with your past Feed your own mind
Cos this Irish son has moved with the times
Our father who art in heaven Come down here and make your presence known We can't do it on our own
The lunatics letrun the asylum How can we find peace inside your home When you can't trust your own This is the city that raised me With the religion they gave me Now I'm old enough to know my own mind But it was leaving that saved me I've seen so much that has changed me just break with your past Feed your own mind

Have you ever Been lost in a different world Where everything you once knew is gone And you find yourself powerless With everything that exist's You're numb woo Will I ever break free I search my world but I can't find you Your standing there but I can't touch you Try to talk but the words are just not there

If you become a nobody Blind to your family Who would you be And life has gone into reverse Reliving every hurt along the way woo Everything that you fear Is calling you and drawing near I search my world but I can't find you Your standing there but I can't touch you Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger You stare at me like I'm a stranger Paralyized and you don't seem to care The demons in my dreamS

I can feel a sense of danger You stare at me like I'm a stranger Paralyized and you don't seem to care The demons in my dreams
When we fall out i like to go driving in my car Listen to something ironic and end up in a bar Get an ear full of shit from a stranger who's got a broken heart Weighing up what would be more painful Staying with yer man or going back to her Doesn't everybody feel this way sometimes It's a lose lose situation for a shitty little crime You can never win with women It's pointless tryin to try It's a lose lose situation until the day you die
Everybody knows the score She'll be crying to the mother in law Then I'll be sleeping out with the dog Must give Inter Flora a call
Doesn't everybody feel this way sometimes It's a lose lose situation for a shitty little crime You can never win with women It's pointless tryin to try It's a lose lose situation until the day you die
Then we make up I'll be walking on egg shells for a day I'll clean the house in the hope that I might get a lay I think back to that drunken stranger something that he said You made your bed so lie in it she'll be quiet when your dead Doesn't everybody feel this way sometimes It's a lose lose situation for a shitty little crime You can never win with women It's pointless tryin to try It's a lose lose situation until the day you die It's a lose lose situation until the day you die
It's Another six am as he stumbles in again And my mother cries don't wake the children Through the tears I can hear him say Didn't have much luck today but he really knows He just threw it away He finds his answers at the bottom of a bottle And his life is always fully on the throttle And he's slowly turning out just like his father And he knows That he's no hero but he's doing what he can Trying to make me a better man He's no hero but he made me what I am And stopped me from becoming another you
Daddy couldn't save hinself No one ever cared to help and he looked at me As what he could have been Now I know what I've got to be Everything to make him proud of me With my second chance that he never had Because his dreams are at the bottom of his bottle And he's never gonna be who he oughta And he's just a living image of his father and he knows That he's no hero but he's doing what he can Trying to make me a better man He's no hero but he made me what I am And stopped me from becoming another you
The dead and end road on which I'm running It's like he already knew He'd Lived the pain that would be coming And I'm proud to say that he is my father And it's ok
That he's no hero but he's doing what he can Trying to make me a better man He's no hero but he made me what I am And stopped me from becoming stopped me from becoming stopped me from becoming another you another you another you another you another you another you another you another you another you
It seems like only yesterday I held you in my arms and said You will never need to fear the dark But unforeseen misery has come Between your Mommy and me And we can love you more now we are apart Daddy he's got to go away Coz there's just no other way To live this through Someday you'll learn to understand This wasn't what I planned for me and you Sorry love Daddy
Everyday is filled with pain But never feel that you're to blame Sometimes life breaks in mysterious ways
I can't make it up to you Believe me I am trying to No matter what you'll always be my babies Daddy he's got to go away Coz there's just no other way To live this through Someday you'll learn to understand This wasn't what I planned for me and you Sorry love Daddy

I was talking last night To a friend who was thinking he might Risk it all for a moment of lust and adventure so I told him You can live everyday like your last Pay the price and the moment will past It's too late and there's no second chance If it's over you got nothing Well I've been there The grass was just fine on this side Because I've been there There's no getting back on that ride There's no replacing the love you got You don't have to lose to see what you've lost Well just be true to your woman
No good living the lie When it's over the secret won't die She'll move on to another guy She won't love you like your wife And I've been there I don't recommend the pain Because I've been there Trust me as your friend There's nothing to gain There's no replacing the love you got You don't have to lose to see what you've lost Oh just be true to your woman
Many years working hard everyone Gets tempted by something They never knew never had The fantasy overtakes overrides everything And you'll get lost in a hollow world All those years they are worth the lot You only realise when they've gone Then just be true There's no replacing the love you got You don't have to lose to see what you've lost Just be true to your woman
The Summer got cold And the wheels came off my mobile home and then My face it got cold And the ride of my life broke down ten minutes from home God don't love me anymore Once again I've drawn the short straw I can't take it anymore The world is spinning round then I fell off and never hit the ground It turned me upside down my heart fell out now I'm a walking disaster
walking disaster
Reversal of roles now the shoe is on the other foot for just now No rhythm and soul Now I lost my mojo a no go nasty suprise God don't love me anymore Once again I've drawn the short straw I can't take it anymore The world is spinning round then I fell off and never hit the ground It turned me upside down my heart fell out now I'm a walking disaster
walking disaster
walking disaster
walking disaster
I can't take it anymore The world is spinning round then I fell off and never hit the ground It turned me upside down my heart fell out now I'm a walking disaster
walking disaster
walking disaster The world is spinning round then I fell off and never hit the ground It turned me upside down my heart fell out now I'm a walking disaster walking disaster walking disaster walking disaster
She wipes the tear from her brow She's been crying again She's been walking into walls again Behind her quivering smile there's a secret That goes deeper than the cuts she hides Her head's spinning around He beat her soul to the ground A grown woman in pain And all she longs to be is that little girl again
She screams inside and all she wants to be All she wants to be is yesterdays child She wants to hide she can runaway to be safty is yesterdays child
Curled up shivering alone she's been hurt again She's been walking into walls again Her children keep her alive They're her sanity but they're the reason why she has to stay A grown woman in pain and all she longs to be is that little girl again
She screams inside and all she wants to be All she wants to be is yesterdays child She wants to hide she can runaway to be safty is yesterdays child yesterdays child yesterdays child yesterdays child
She screams inside and all she wants to be All she wants to be is yesterdays child She wants to hide she can runaway to be safty is yesterdays child

Bruised and battered by your words Dazed and shatterd how it hurts Havent's I always loved you But when I need you You're almost here Well I never knew how far behind I'd left you And when I hold you You're almost here Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted Now I'm with you I'm close to tears Cause I know I'm almost here Only almost here
