Don't go out in the night
Even though you know the town
Someone always wants to fight
You end up lying on the ground
I dream of life under the sun
In my ears hear the ocean roaring
Like all good wayfaring sons
I've travelled home and the rain it's pouring
Soaks me to my skin
I duck into this public house
Get shattered by the din
I sailed across the sea
My family and me
Never knew if I'd return
But in my memory I yearned
Here we are once again
With my friends and the whisky's flowing
As the cold night air descends
I drift away and my mind it wanders
Back to Southern skies
I call myself a fool and hope I wake and realize
Twa hames are better than yin
Some people they've got nane
It's round the world I've been
No two places are the same
I dream of lying in the sun
In my ears hear the ocean roaring
Like all good wayfaring sons
I've travelled home with some more good stories
I'll build them up through time
They'll all become a pack of lies
When I'm beyond my prime
Storm In My Heart
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I cry
I still go under
I don't know why
Storm in my heart
Tearing me apart
Storm in my heart
About you
Sometimes the sun shines
Here comes the flood
Through both the good and the bad times you do
Stir up my blood
And I got
Storm in my heart
Tearing me apart
Storm in my heart
Stir it up
Storm in my heart
Tearing me apart
Storm in my heart
Sometimes I wonder
As I lie on my bed
Can I hear thunder
Or am I confused
With what lies ahead
And I got
Storm in my heart
Tearing me apart
Storm in my heart
About you
About you
Storm in my heart
Storm in my heart
Dream On (In The Night)
I don't mind love in the morning
I don't mind it late at night
Make love on the weekend yeah
Always makes me feel alright
Doesn't matter about the weather
It's always still fun
I like it when you wear your leather
And it's one on one
Don't stop what it is you're doing
You know I love your little game
Don't stop what it is you're doing
Your body's driving me insane
I don't mind love in the summer
Yeah underneath the sun
Don't mind if its cold in winter yeah
I can take it on the run
Let's stop into this hotel
Let's make some faces turn
We'll laugh until we're senseless
And our bodies will burn
Dream on in the night
Make me feel alright
Dream on in the night
You're my woman
I love it when you call me
You say you'll wait for me tonight
You move in slow motion towards me
From darkness into the light
Let's do it on your back step
Where the air is clean and free
You've got a ladder in your fishnet
And it's because of me
Don't stop what it is you're doing
You know I love your nasty game
Don't stop what it is you're doing
Your body's driving me insane
Let's drive towards the sunset
Let's make these four wheels turn
Let's hope this road is endless
And our bodies will burn
Dream on in the night
Make me feel alright
Dream on in the night
You're my woman
Dream on in the night
Make me feel alright
You know my weakness
Dream on in the night
You're my woman
Not So Lonely
Chan'eil mi nis nam aonar (I am now not alone)
Strong wind
Strong wind blowing
Dark clouds form
Storm is brewing
Thunder and lightning
Surround our shelter
We make love as the rains lash at our window
Now I remember
I'm not lonely
Chan'eil mi nis nam aonar
Freedom
It always lives round the corner
I walk streets and my heart beats ever stronger
Who can say and who can tell
Like coins into the wishing well
My love is like a burning light
Cuts into the mountain like a river
Now I'm not so lonely
Now I have my hope and glory
Leave all the wind and rain behind
I'll fill the cup and I'll drink the wine
Hey, hey, hey
It's alright, feels good
We're not so lonely
We'll write a book
At least a story
We're not so lonely
Chan'eil mi nis nam aonar
We're not so lonely
Don't Drink The Water
May I give you some good advice
May save your life one day
Before you take pleasure
You should think twice
Or else you have to pay
You can drink French champagne
'til the night is gone but
Don't drink the water
In this world you can have all you want
But don't drink the water
Lying on the sand on the Jersey shore
Opened up my eyes
They say life is a beach
But I'm not so sure
It made me realize
You can sit in the sun
And watch your skin burn
But you can't swim in the water
There's garbage on a barge
And it's in your front yard
And you can't swim in the water
I may stumble
I may fall
Won't you please pick me up
Or at least give me a call
And if I get a thirst
A thirst that could kill
Pour me a glass
Of cool clear water
Up in the highlands of beautiful green
It's a drinkers paradise
Overhead fighters make sounds so obscene
I swear up at the skies
After Chernobyl
I drink Scotch that's old
But I don't drink the water
You can sit by the stream until you get cold
But don't drink the water
I may wander
I may stray too far
I may often stumble from the whisky in the jar
But I no longer hide my face or try to run away
It's time to join the human race
And make the bastards pay
May I give you some good advice
May save your life one day
Before you take pleasure
You should think twice
Or else you have to pay
You can drink French champagne
'til the night is gone but
Don't drink the water
In this world you can have all you want
But don't drink the water
Help Me
I've know you since you were born
Yeah I've been around for a while
It's me that you're standing on
You must tread carefully
For I'm not feeling strong
I've been raped and torn
So now before I'm gone
Help me
Help me please
Help me
Man makes wars on my seas and land
Yes I have seen them all
I have the scars on my face and hands
I can no longer say all will be well in my world
For I feel such pain
Tears fall down like rain
Help me
Help me please
Help me
Help me
Help me please
Help me
There is no beginning
There is no end
Ah, but money rules the day
You continue to cut down my trees
To make more burgers but you'll find it harder to breathe
And when my love has gone
You'll fall down on your knees
To help me
Help me please
Help me
Dreamtime In Glasgow
I can't begin to tell you
What is in my mind
So here I sit since last October
Sometimes I feel as if that I am mocking time
I'm doing my best at staying sober
And if you were to say to me
What is it that you want to be
I surely don't know
And if I seem a little slow
It's only dreamtime in Glasgow
I'd love to sit and talk
There's a lot I have to know
But I can't stay here and be happy
I'll buy you one drink my friend and then I have to go
For I have a wife and family
But I had to stop on my way home
To dream of places that I'll never roam
But meanwhile today
It is here that I will stay
Doing dreamtime in Glasgow
I still believe
I dreamt I was drowning in the Clyde
I fell off the docks and into the rising tide
But then I realized
As I opened up my eyes
It's only dreamtime in Glasgow
It's only dreamtime in Glasgow
Back In My Loving Arms
I wake with the new day
Turn my head to where you'd be
And you could be
If you want me
I shake for my own sake
My heart tells me you'll make a mistake
If you stay home
And you don't phone
Don't worry baby
Everything be okay
Back in my loving arms
Back in my loving arms
I drive into the sunrise
I feel good to be so alive
Want to kiss you
And I miss you
I'm learning to be alone
But my house is not a home
In the good way
That it could be
Don't worry baby
Everything be okay
Back in my loving arms
Get on that plane
And don't think twice
It's time to listen to good advice
And I love you
And I want you
I can remember your every touch
Makes me shiver
Sometimes it gets too much
And I can feel you
Don't worry baby
Everything be okay
Back in my loving arms...
Ya (Rest In Peace)
These mandolins will play at your bedside
No more black bins where you've checked in to stay
You've cashed your chips in, the dice were all loaded
Too tired to swim, instead you drifted away
Ya...hoo, hoo, hoo
These mandolins will play for your pleasure
You locked yourself in, then you sent us away
A good place to die, the best room in the hotel
So drink to yourself, and now you don't have to pay
Is it warm up in heaven
Can you put your name on the door
Do they have a drink rider
Now you're suffering no more
Ya...hoo, hoo, hoo
These mandolins will play at your poolside
You invite us in to while the evening away
We'll drink some gin, and then when the hours past
We'll take our leave, and see you next time we play
