He’ll be mine

while she dances on the table,

he’s scared and falls asleep

drinking beer, rum and wine

stormy weather, will he be fine?

have a drink, have a drink

have a drink, drink, drink

he’ll be mine, he’ll be mine

he’ll be mine

and while he sleeps a twisted body

she dances all alone

smell of liquor will make her shine

half a bottle then she’ll be fine

have a drink, have a drink

have a drink

he’ll be mine, he’ll be mine

oh, he will be mine

and while they dance around the table

the wind keeps howling on

they’re drinking beer, rum and wine

cruel weather, will they be fine

if they drink and drink

have a drink, one more drink and

he’ll be mine, he’ll be mine

oh, he will be mine

velvet gloves

story of our lives

hey man, hey man 

did it ever cross your mind?

hey woman, come on let’s play it right

or do you follow your heart this time?

hey man, hey man

Laying Low

no, no more laying low

no tiptoe around someone else’s feelings

i’ll go, i’ll go away tonight to find another home

a home without the screaming and fight

there is no, no more knife to draw 

no more gun no law just lonely silent evenings

you’ll go, you’ll go away tonight looking for a home 

a home without the screaming and doubt

howling we’re howling dogs that hate each other

we’re howling we’re like howling wolves

we’re hunting one another

we hold on, why do we hold on

if there’s no, no more laying low

no trying to pretend to be ok, to be in love, to be allright

for tonight we ‘ll go our own ways and find some new place

where we could erase our screaming inside

howling we’re howling dogs that hate each other

we’re howling we’re like howling wolves

we’re hunting one another

how could.. how sweet could it have been

but somehow we don’t bother no more

howling

we could hold on try and pretend

but sometimes good things come to an end

you better hold on, look for a way

but where this road goes no you never could say

we better hold on, everyone knows 

well no one can hear the hearts break in this home

please hold on, keep telling you so 

and all those words keep us from letting go

don’t go, don’t go  

they’re keeping us from letting go

so we don’t go we don’t go, no

we hold on

no, no more laying low 

no tiptoe around each other’s feelings

we won’t go, no we won’t go tonight

we’ll stay a little longer in this home 

we won’t scream, we’ll fight 

The Woods

run deep in the wood, you run too deep in the wood

you’re lost, gone astray now loose your way in the wood

run and don’t look back no more

you’ve gone into the wood, back into the wood

you lied now you hide, go and disappear for good

you run run and look back on it no more

i fear a nervous breakdown, like a howling wolf

fears the moon in the sky, a lonely wolf 

you keep calling my name,  it’s over and done

if you keep running away from what went wrong

if you keep running in the wood, you’ll go and disappear for good

rest your eyes on darker skies and run deep in the wood

but never ever look back on it no more 

i fear a nervous breakdown like a howling wolf

fears the moon in the sky, a lonely wolf

as long as you play in love, i’ll be playing along

you pull me back in the game of the weak, of the strong

i fear a nervous breakdown, a howling wolf

fears the moon in the sky, a lonely wolf

you keep calling my name but it’s over and done

if you keep running away from what goes wrong

as long as you play in love, i’ll be playing along

you pull me back in the game of the weak, of the strong

now you better run, run and look back on it no more 

you just run, run and look back no more

run out of there for good

you’re lost gone astray, loose your way in the wood

and never ever look back no more

The hill

you came a long way over the hill and so

sunny times were here to come after many days of snow

four leaf clovers grew next to the river flow 

we kissed each other that day on the boat you rowed

so it goes - she fell in love with me

so it goes - i pretended to be

so it goes - she fell in love with me

so it goes you know it grows

our sons and daughters were born on the hill and they

were laughing and loving you could hear them night and day

four leaf clovers they would bring to the house we hold

everyone close together our nights they never got cold, oh no

rumour grows - we set the room on fire

rumour grows - i pretended to be

rumour grows - to be in love with her

rumour grows you know that it grows

well this woman she came a long way over my hill i saw 

you could not hide it, saw it in your face, a lovely shining glow

my four leaf clovers she took from my hill i knew

what was going on and didn't i hear 

the rumours, they were true, oh no

rumour grows - i fell in love with her

rumour grows - she pretended to be

rumour grows - i fell in love with her

rumour grows you know it grows

it grows

DROWN IN DIRT

i'm feeling down today no matter how low, i am

killing time but it will not die oh no

all night all day i'm on my own

could you ring my bell, i'm waiting by the phone

talk to me talk about anything at all

make a walk with me to the park or... i don't know

i don't know, no

i just don't know, no

going down the way my mother showed

it is such a pity when a mothers love turns cold

come to me come for a cuddle and grow

make a stop to struggle, up is where i'll go

i'll go away, i think i'll better go away

swallow me sea, shells you cover me, come take me, dry and wet me

going down, swirl to the bottom i'm low, i know i might drown

so i'll go away

every night those dreams they come to me 

to make me happy or sad or just to make me see

all of a sudden i woke in a very strange place                            

i broke when i saw a woman without a face

there was no face, no there was no face

i think i'll better go away

i might leave today, oh yeah

glad i like the sea it will cover me 

and spit me up on the beach end of her story

In Dreams

i know how to pull my hair out of my head, now you are dead

i know how to puke from misery, it's not a pretty sight to see

i dream about a way to bring you back, back to me

i dream, i dream

your movie played inside my head, i couldn't get myself to bed

woke every night in a haze, felt tears running down my face

prayed for a way to bring you back, back to me

in dreams, in dreams

it's been a long way down, it will be a long way back up

gonna go home soon now, gonna go home anyhow

to dream, to dream

those years are behind me now, just once in a while i cry

my friends say 'hey what is this?’ and i don't tell them it's you i miss

now i know the way to bring you back, back to me

i dream, i dream

it's been a long way down, it will be a long way to get back up

i'm gonna go home soon now, gonna go home anyhow

it's been a long way down, i might take a short cut to get back up

i'm gonna go home soon now, gonna go home anyhow

to dream

it’s been a while

it's been a while for love to show

it's been a while for love to grow  

it's been a while for love to come back home again

it's been a while

a shame it all went wrong

such a shame it all was  wrong  

i'm ashamed for all i' ve done wrong i've done 

wrong i've done, i’m ashamed

blame my heart it's restless,

blame my heart too restless

blame my heart, my soul, my mind, blame my heart 

it tears me apart, blame my heart

lay me down and take my crown, 

the damage is done, now take my crown

lay me down, lay me down and take my crown

burn it now, lay me down

the world was quiet when the snow fell down

the world was quiet when she hit the ground

all quiet, snow was falling down it was      

yes it was o so quiet 

yes it was, and it's been a while
